February 2016

My mistake, I was reading too quickly, please accept my apology, I have restored PF router to your revision. Ueutyi (talk) 03:16, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

@Ueutyi: No problem! An occasional miss is more than acceptable when compared to your contributions. Thanks for the message --Strangerpete (talk) 03:28, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

January 2018

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Ifnord (talk) 03:14, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

Bill Waddington

You have removed a broadcast episode of Coronation Street that is available for viewing on YouTube. As you will note had you read the history, more than one editor has demanded 'proof' that Waddington played the part of George Turner in the soap. The video is thus hard and concrete, irrefutable proof. The very best irrefutable proof known to human kind. If this fact is removed from this page again, I take it thus you will intervene and restore it without question and block the editors causing this edit war? 203.223.198.169 (talk) 13:30, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

@203.223.198.169:I removed it because on face value, someone sloppily threw a youtube link into an article, which usually isn't acceptable. If you added your link as a citation to the claim, i wouldn't have touched it - although I don't think youtube counts as a credible source, it is a rebroadcast as you say, so someone else could have an issue - if you have further issues you should start a discussion in the appropriate talk page. --Strangerpete (talk) 14:13, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

I'll further note you didn't even leave a change note with your edit - if its been such an issue, leaving a clear summary of what/why you did something is crucial --Strangerpete (talk) 14:16, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

Indeed. The actual video evidence of hard, concrete, irrefutable proof isn't acceptable as a 'credible source'. Enough said. And people wonder why this site isn't taken seriously by anyone, anywhere.

@203.223.198.169: I found the relevant guidlines WP:YTREF if you want to read how to handle it - youtube isn't a credible source, but whomever recorded that broadcast is; wikipedia actually has some standards, and one of thoses is that you should find the proper source, other wise i'm just taking *your* word - You really should make your edit again, with your link as a proper wiki ref WP:CITE, and in your edit change line request that further edits be discussed prior in talk - you'll find many are willing to discuss if they disagree with your edit, as you said its been ongoing. --Strangerpete (talk) 15:00, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

BLP discretionary sanctions alert

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Johnuniq (talk) 00:51, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

@Johnuniq: I'm confused why you posted this here, and the page on sanctions is unclear what this is or means, especially in context, could you elaborate please? All I did was revert your edit which I assumed you had no previous knowledge of the COI, which is paid for by the subject's company. Does this mean I cannot edit this page, and why is there no mention of sanctions anywhere else on that article? Thanks for your reply Strangerpete (talk) 01:09, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

OSI/HTTP

HTTP does create and manage Session between computers. Sessions, not connections. When I execute a GET or a POST, A session is being created or reused. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Session HTTP can manage that session with response codes and headers.

Here's a website that got it right - naturally it's for developers - the only people who should be having these discussions. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Overview — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abbotn (talk • contribs)

@Abbotn: But once again your reference say the opposite - your second link says clearly in the fourth paragraph, "HTTP is on top, at the application layer" (Under 'components of http-based systems').

And you're not the only developer here, so please calm down. You said before that the original RFC is incorrect - if you can find an amended RFC where they corrected their mistake, I'll happily accept that, but the facts still remain that the people who created this disagree with your interpretation, and all the documents and references disagree as well. What can I say, I trust Tim Berners-Lee and Roy Fielding before a random guy on Wikipedia, please don't take it personally.

You clearly feel very strongly about this, I'd strongly suggest starting a discussion on the Talk:HTTP page; I see your previous edits were reverted last year, and I have no doubt others will continue to do so unless a consensus is reached. Strangerpete (talk) 23:15, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Akane Yamaguchi

Hello. Help improvements. Thanks you. Jilpz (talk) 07:12, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Jilpz is there something specific you need help with? I don't think I would be much help on that article. Strangerpete (talk) 07:15, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Delete dead link and fixed typo. Jilpz (talk) 07:17, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

'Yamaguchi was crowned the World Champion after she defeated Tai Tzu-ying in the final and with this she became only the second Japanese Women's singles player to win the World Championships afrer → after Nozomi Okuhara.' — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jilpz (talk • contribs) 07:18, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Since it was a simple spelling error I went ahead and fixed it. Further issues with the article should be brought up on it's talk page, Talk:Akane_Yamaguchi. Please also take a look at Wikipedia:Contributing_to_Wikipedia, making your own edits is easy, and please remember to sign the end of your messages with ~~~~ (4 tildes). Welcome!

I should get my nose checked, couldn't smell the sock. Oh well for good faith... Strangerpete (talk) 08:21, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
