What is UNIX

edit

Read this http://www.unix.org/what_is_unix.html . Editing an article on Wikipedia is the most natural thing a Wikipedia Editor can do. It is not defacing. If you continue this harassment I will get you banned from Wikipedia for inappropriate ad hominem attacks. (Boborok 21:27, 30 April 2006 (UTC))Reply

You *are* defacing articles. You have a history of carrying out your reckless attacks as well, as is evidenced on your talk page. You are clearly clueless with regards to anything Computer Science based and you should stop edited articles immediately. You're part of the reason Wiki comes in for so much media-bashing! --Toph3r 00:26, 1 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Articles for Deletion

edit

I realize you are not happy with the current turn of events. However, in a project like Wikipedia, where pretty much everyone can post anything, and challenge anything, it happens. Sometimes edit wars devolve into situations like this.

The deletion debate process has to be available to prevent people from cluttering up Wikipedia with all sorts of stuff. Some can abuse the process; some can resort to it in good faith and turn out to be wrong.

Personally, I have no knowledge of whether this is a prominent web server or not. I don't know whether the other party is just being antagonistic or really believes Zeus is not worthy of inclusion. There is a Wikipedia policy to try to assume good faith on the part of everyone, whenever possible. To respond by going after other products, or attacking Boborok, would be a mistake.

The proper way to handle it is to gather information to bolster your case. Look for industry publications that have written articles about Zeus (note: not forums, they don't carry much weight). Any statistics you can find (again from reliable sources) on the prevalence of the software would help. Post links in the Articles for Deletion discussion so that others can review them. You will find that other Wikipedia editors are reasonable people, and if you make your case, calmly and reasonably, you will find it listened to. Forget about Boborok, and whatever his motives may be. Concentrate on the subject at hand.

Huge numbers of articles are nominated for deletion but kept, and once that happens it becomes much, much harder for anyone to try to nominate them again.

Hope this helps. Fan1967 00:29, 3 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, comments noted :) --Toph3r 08:31, 3 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Do not bother me with threats. I restored an AfD SOMEONE ELSE made, and I then reverted it. All I was doing was vandal patrol. Please don't bother me with your threats, if you think Netscape, Sun et al need an AfD, by all means file them and leave me alone. Dominick (TALK) 00:43, 3 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

..threats?! What threats? You mean, me e-mailing you asking what I could do to stop afd abuse?--Toph3r 08:31, 3 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Sun Java System Web Server

I reverted your recent change to Sun_Java_System_Web_Server. If you feel the information you removed is somehow incorrect, I'd encourage you to elaborate in Talk:Sun_Java_System_Web_ServerElving 02:41, 3 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Your comment to User:Mcndant

edit

About the comment you left on User:Mcndant's user page, user pages are not the correct place for user comments. Since this particular user has not made any edits since June (therefore unlikely to read any comment) and you were the first edit to their user page, I have requested that the user page be deleted. -- Gogo Dodo 00:26, 25 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
