NPOV edit
Welcome!
Hello Joewski, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy, and have been reverted. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.
There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Paul Cyr 04:06, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for that helpful articles, when I have time I will have a close look at them over time. A review of the articles indicates there are some questions that I are not answered or at least they are difficult to find.--Joewski 00:10, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia! I'm afraid I removed your additions to the vise article, because they're not really suitable. The various clever devices would be great in a collection of shop improvisations, but I don't think they're encyclopedic. But we do appreciate your effort. Let me know if I can help. --Macrakis 12:57, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Little context in Lens (web) edit
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Lens (web), by OverlordQ (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Lens (web) is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Lens (web), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it did not nominate Lens (web) itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 01:11, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
- I have considered this bolt, and it is against what the wikipedia stands for. A computer program can never replace a human mind in understand or significance of an article. Kindly stop bolting.--Joewski 01:25, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
- With respect, I don't think you understand the function of the bot. The bot did not place the tag proposing the article for speedy deletion - if you look at the [[1]] for the page concerned, you'll see that the tag was placed by User:OverlordQ - that user just uses the bot to subsequently inform you of the placing of the tag. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to leave a message on my talk page. Giles Bennett (Talk, Contribs) 07:38, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Removing speedy deletion templates edit
Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from articles you have created yourself, as you did with Lens (web). Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion. Thank you. Giles Bennett (Talk, Contribs) 07:36, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for starting this article from WP:RA. I added more information and "wikified" it. I hope you appreciate my changes. Bearian 18:45, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Yeah its how I imagined a little article would grows into larger article. Its a pity that people don't take the same notice of the other seed articles that I have written such as Lens (web). Thanks for adding to the article to make it better, I have gained more wisdom and knowledge from your contribution. --Joewski 06:15, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Xming edit
Hi, you got my attention with your edit summary on Xming. I have rolled back your changes to the article, as it removed useful text and added vague statements that were inaccurate. The reason the article isnt very helpful is because it has been trimmed a little too aggressively, e.g. [2] I am going to get stuck into this article now, so I will be swimming in Xming information for the next hour or so. Here are two better articles that I have found: [3] and [4]. If you want some help getting Xming to work, you can email me. John Vandenberg 08:18, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Your edits to Linux adoption edit
Are absolutely unacceptable. See WP:NOT for a list of things we are not, which includes the fact that we are not a guide. Also see WP:ILIKEIT and WP:USEFUL for why such an article would be deleted very quickly --Lucid
Ah ok thanks, I missed that.--Joewski 07:46, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Ernst Geissler, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.astronautix.com/astros/geissler.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.
This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 03:36, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Hmmm, copying public record facts isn't a copyright violation. The bolt is in error. --Joewski 03:49, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

The article Hyper distribution has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
A neologism with no usage, with both refs being the same person. WP:BEFORE finds this article and the unrelated use of the statistical term. The bittorrent article, and even that of the coiner of the term, don't mention it,. This isn't a notable subject.
