[edit] Sock Puppets
Could an admin tell me is these people are actual users or sock puppets?
Seth_Finkelstein Jasonmurphy
They posted keeps on an article I afd and I do not see a talk or a user page for them. They are listed in Search Engine Land articles for deletion as well as Search_engine_marketing
Please advise. I want to make sure Wiki is the best it can be!
- You can report suspected sock puppets at WP:SSP. If you have evidence, you can request a check user at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser. To my knowledge, Seth Finkelstein is a real person. You can look him up on Google. I've never seen Jasonmurphy before. Jehochman Talk 04:20, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Network switch vs. multilayer switch
I did some cleanup in network switch, then went to multilayer switch and became confused at a level beyond that of mere switch versus router (or bridge). Again, I really think we need to reduce the number of articles dealing with marketing terms, and have a relatively small number of terms that lead to one another. I would like to see a content switching expert become involved. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hcberkowitz (talk • contribs)
[edit] Prime
But of course. I mostly do things at the wiktionaries, where I am sysop at en: (and sw, rw, and ts while we build some community). I live in Nairobi. Come visit, I will show you lots of stuff. Robert Ullmann 19:58, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Image source problem with Image:Cobalt raq2 6stack.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Cobalt raq2 6stack.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 09:44, 24 October 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Liftarn 09:44, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] World view of the Internet
You had a note on the subject article page about internationalization. I've worked a good deal with, for example, the worldwide address registries; this reminds me that I need to say hello to some colleagues in Uganda and Sudan.
Having worked on the catastrophic attempt to implement worldwide OSI principles (I was the first person on the technical staff at the Corporation for Open Systems), for that matter worldwide X.25 connection, and then a lot of Internet design and deployment, there are, I think, some relevant issues. OSI tried to have much more formal methods, where the IETF just wanted to get the job done. When I was a router designer at Nortel, I lived in Virginia, my two main colleagues were in Massachusetts, several collaborators in Stockholm, one person in Silicon Valley,and our boss was in Ottawa. The way we collaborated electronically, internally and in Internet operations and standards, taught a lot.
OSI documents cost money. RFCs are available free. OSI depended on paper document and face-to-face, very structured meetings, while the Internet development process worked fine by email and, every so often, you'd have a meeting to put faces together. As Dave Clark put it, "we don't believe in kings, presidents, and voting. We believe in rough consensus and running code."
There are a LOT of Europeans that made major contributions, including actually implementing IP over carrier pigeon. :-) There's been a conscious effort, by the Internet Society and others, to bring the world into the picture. It's low-key but proactive. Might be worth pointing to some of the key events of worldwide connectivity.
RIPE, the European umbrella organization, is extremely productive. APNIC (Asia-Pacific Network Information Center) got off to a slower start but is now active. It was quite interesting to see the problems -- and in some cases original solutions -- of Asian internet operators, who sometimes do things very differently. LACNIC (Latin America and Caribbean Network Information Center is up and running, and Afrinic is getting operating, still trying to figure out which country gets the center -- I think it's Mauritius.

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:SEO for dummies.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:SEO for dummies.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. — Κaiba 21:48, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
