[edit] List of trojan horses deletion vote notice

Thanks for your vote for the list of computer viruses. Please consider voting similarly for the list of trojan horses as well. Thank you - A-Day 23:54, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Thanks for your help! A-Day 00:37, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
  • No problem! It boggles the mind to see people trying to delete such useful lists. --Revolución (talk) 01:22, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Agreed. In my opinion, the nominator contributes well, just had some poor judgment with these nomintations. A-Day 01:31, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your vote for the list of computer viruses. Please consider voting similarly for the list of trojan horses as well. Thank you - A-Day 01:15, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Thanks for your help! A-Day 01:32, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
  • No problem. I am unfamiliar with the method of posting to user comment pages... but thanks for alerting me to that other article. Such lists are the collaberative effort of many wikipedians and is what Wikipedia is all about. To suggest their deletion is outrageous. --Christopher 02:21, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Yeah, putting the list up for deletion wasn't in the best taste, but he still does some good editting. I'm glad you have such a deep respect for the work that Wikipedia is. There's so much to learn from it on so many levels. Thank you - A-Day 02:32, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your vote for the list of computer viruses. Please consider voting similarly for the list of trojan horses as well. Thank you - A-Day 00:07, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Thanks for reminding me. I had meant to vote on it but forgot all about it. Reyk 02:53, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
  • No problem! A-Day 03:37, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tearin s*** up!

You will notice I'm boldly moving virus and trojan articles alike to reflect a more consistent and descriptive naming scheme.

  • All computer viruses will be in the format 'Foo (computer virus)'
  • All trojan horses will be in the format 'Foo (trojan horse)'
  • All computer worms will be in the format 'Foo (computer worm)'

This is required to differentiate biological viruses from computer viruses from trojan horses (and from worms too). Example:

  • biological virus AIDS
  • computer virus AIDS
  • trojan horse AIDS

I hope you agree this is much-needed progress. A-Day (c)(t) 04:03, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Complete, pretty much

I hope it's useful. A-Day (c)(t) 08:18, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WMF article spelling change

Hi, I reverted your recent change of spelling on the WMF vulnerability article. The difference is not a spelling error, rather alternative in spellings. The old one pointed to the actual wikipedia's article, whereas the spelling you changed to points to a redirect. See Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#National_varieties_of_English. -- KTC 05:51, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I apologize for not taking care to check the redirect effect, which is really how 'correctness' should be judged. Thanks again - A-Day (c)(t) 06:05, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Malware WikiProject invitation

Since you've done so much for expanding and helping with articles on computer viruses and other forms of malware, I do hope you will consider joining the Malware WikiProject! Hope to see you there. --Trafton 22:00, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Not my contribution, really. Joshi is the 'work' of 220.225.194.130. Please see the history of List of computer viruses (E-K). I simply moved this information into its own article. I was boldly expecting someone be creative and to take the time to turn this article into something more Wiki-ish rather than being simply deletionist. I understand your POV that the article was in bad taste. It wasn't my intention to compromise Wikipedia. Thanks- A-Day (c)(t) 14:59, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
