[edit] Binaural recording

It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Binaural recording. Please be careful not to remove content from Wikipedia without a valid reason, which you should specify in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. Take a look at our welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -Quiddity 19:28, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

While I was writing on the talk page, to justifiy my edit, you rushed to conclusion and placed your comment. Please allow people some time to finish their edits. The comment is posted on the talk page.--Mike Sorensen 19:40, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Ah, ok. I was just going through my watchlist and saw the removed section.
If you add a couple of words to the "edit summary" section (just above the "save page" button), that helps fellow editors determine what actions were intended. Eg for that edit, a summary like "removing POV content, see talk" would be perfect.
Here's a welcome template, containing an abundance of useful links and reading :) --Quiddity 01:14, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summaries

Hi, could you please use edit summaries, especially if it is a nontrivial edit such as deleting sentences, adding a lot of content, or tagging an article for deletion? I'm referring to: proposed for deletion, nominated for deletion, but it actually holds for almost all your other edits as well. Han-Kwang 13:49, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Audio mastering

This article needs some work. It is a very popular subject for audio enthusiasts but the support for the information contained in this article is rather sketchy. Some info in the article is a common knowledge but many things cited there are just taken for granted and I frankly question the accuracy of this article but for the lack of resources I'm refraining from rewriting it. Since its creation almost 4 years ago this article doesn't have any references. So it is about time to take some initiative on this subject and from the lack of other volunteers it looks like it will be me. Real editors generally avoid adding references to this article because they end up being assaulted by spammers, but I think I can fend-off a few punches.

Looks like the first spammer launched his assault using a few suspected sock puppets or meta puppets: Evinatea, Jrod2, Skylark01, Louis, Hottrax, 96.224.3.55 but I'm holding my ground.--Mike Sorensen 03:43, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi Mike. I have been trying to figure out what the dispute is over at audio mastering. I've been communicating with Evinatea, but I would like to know your understanding of the situation. The talk page is fairly incomprehensible, but I gather there is some dispute about spam links, "artmastering", as well as accusations of sockpuppetry. Please give me your take on this. Thanks much, Fang Aili talk 17:09, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi Fang Aili. Thank you for looking into it. Here is what I concluded:
  • The accounts of Evinatea and user 162.83.209.26 English and162.83.209.26 Spanishand User:71.108.230.46 were all created at approximately the same time, all are single purpose accounts aimed to manipulate articles on Audio mastering and Music mastering. The edit patterns are very similar. Edits of Evinatea are meant either to promote his own company MusicMasteringOnline or to showcase him as authority on Audio mastering. Please compare contributions af these accounts. The accounts of Evinatea and User:71.108.230.46 are also used as "Good hand, bad hand" to fake credibility.
  • Evinatea created a spam article MaximumDeliveryPotential (already deleted). This was an obvious spam to promote his business. Check his personal website MusicMasteringOnline that also talks about it.
  • Music mastering article is also a spam designed to promote Evinatea website. Several other users complaint about this. This article have also been deleted--Mike Sorensen 20:04, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
  • He completely disrupted the Audio mastering talk page with his rants and endless edits to justify his spam and defend his position. Multiple other users also complined about his spam. Subsequently the disruption was removed and placed into his personal space User:Evinatea/Sockpuppetry.
  • Evinatea engaged in blatantly offensive personal attack or a defamatory comment about a living person, Art Sayecki and other users including me. Comments are here [1]".
  • As far as "artmastering" is concerned, I found an interview/article on a respected music website Link which talked about the subject so I re-included it in the Audio mastering page with a request for comments. I'm not attached to this article and I have never edited it before. I re-included an entry about "armastering" that was made some time ago by another editor. Though I decided it would be prudent to defended my edits and related links against a suspected spammer Evinatea, so hence my edits on the subject.
Hope it helps.--Mike Sorensen 19:08, 6 March 2007 (UTC) Comments updated, --Mike Sorensen 16:19, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your response. I'm taking a break from this conflict for a day or two. I might post to WP:ANI about it later, because I have a hard time wrapping my head around this. Cheers, Fang Aili talk 20:24, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My contributions

No Problem Fang Aili, as you see from the date of this post I also took a break. My contributions are always open for discussion and always have at least one reference (unless the subject-matter is widely known). In case of "artmastering" I also provided a reference and I will provide more if and when they become available. I hate this kind of bickering so I will keep my posts to minimum. --Mike Sorensen 12:00, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Mike, please keep contributing. Your edits are encyclopedic, and well, some people editing the pages are not up to that standard. Your recent edit to Audio mastering is a great example. John Cardinal 12:21, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Thank you John, I occasionally visit music related pages that you edit and I see the great work that you are doing so your comment is very valuable to me.--Mike Sorensen 14:02, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion on sources for Audio Mastering article

Since the Audio mastering article has no sources to support it, I opened a discussion on potentially acceptable sources for this article. I'm beginning to regret it a little since now I'm being bombarded with spam and personal attacks but hopefully we will get something done and at the end it will be worth it. Please contribute, here is a link [2]

[edit] List of languages of Nigeria

I created this new page [3] to serve as a home for all the 521 languages of Nigeria and I moved the existing list of Nigerian languages from the main article Languages of Nigeria to this new page. Hopefully, at some point, we will get all the 521 languages listed with links to their own respective pages for each language. --Mike Sorensen 22:13, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Added dynamic sorting to theList of languages of Nigeria

This is my biggest edit to date. I just implemented dynamic sorting features, and filled the table with human population data pertinent to each language. This was a big job but it works great and it added a whole new dynamic functionality to a previously static table.--Mike Sorensen 10:09, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] No Fault Found (NFF)

I learned about this thing when I was researching the problem with my car. It stopped working 4 times and every time I took it the the dealer they said that they can't find any problem. Finally after a 6 months of hassle turned out that there was some corrosion in the computer circuits. If someone has any pictures of NFF problems it would be a very cool addition to this article.--Mike Sorensen 06:43, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Section about Pro-audio headphone amplifiers

I created a separate section about pro-audio headphone amplifiers. It will need some work but it is a good start. In the whole article about Headphone amplifier there was absolutely no mention about pro-audio headphone amps. It still needs references. I'll work on it when I find some more time.--Mike Sorensen 15:00, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Added images to Video pointer article

It still needs references, it's a project in progress.

I just updated the licensing tag. There should be no problem anymore. I have released it to public domain.--Mike Sorensen 16:24, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please, do not edit my comments/arguments at the mastering talk page

Please, do not condense the text as it makes it unreadable. It might also be perceived as an attempt from you to discourage people from reading it. Jrod2 20:57, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

The content of your comments is unchanged, so it may not be perceived as an attempt to discourage the reading. It is commonly acceptable to compact comments that take excessive space. But no problem I will leave them alone.--Mike Sorensen 22:41, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Created new article on Wolfgang Palm

There isn't much info available on the Internet about Wolfgang Palm but then again I didn't dig deep enough. Several other wikipedia articles reference Palm so I finally created a bio page for him.--Mike Sorensen 03:47, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
