This case has been closed and the final decision is listed on the above page

For the arbitration committee. --Tony Sidaway 20:58, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ronald Reagan Images

Hi. When I click on the drop-down menu to choose a license, when I click on public domain, it doesn't work. The only one that works with public domain is: I created it myself. How do I choose the other one, because I got it off of a website ( [1] ), and I don't know how to say that I found it, but it's in the public domain. Could you help me, please? Happyme22 16:31, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank You. I've got it figured out now. Sorry if I caused you any trouble. -- Happyme22 16:44, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bots and bugs in “foreign” language characters

On the talk page for Martin23 you commented at 16:56, 11 March 2007 (UTC) on the item User_talk:Martinp23#foreign_language_character_bug asking for an example.

Perhaps you did not see my post just below it User_talk:Martinp23#Suspected_conflict_of_bot_edits_with_non_Latin_Alphabet at 20:34, 10 March 2007 (UTC) in it I gave the example of Emerald Buddha you probably missed it because I attempted a Neutral Point of View by refering to the “non Latin Alphabet rather than calling it foreign. --Drappel 03:39, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NWA Wisconsin

I was told you deleted this article, I was just interested in what it looked like before it was deleted. Regards Govvy 22:41, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

cheers, I was just curious before, there are a number of links to that, but I shall probably change to links to standard text. Regards, Govvy 09:55, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spamlist

I might have missed you on the 20th, but I haven't sent out the 26th yet. I've been bogged down with other things. Occasionally I might miss someone on the e-mail list, because as it is now, the process for doing this is "open 50 tabs, paste the message into the box and click send on all of them". There's obviously a little room for error :) Ral315 » 12:35, 28 March 2007 (UTC)


[edit] User:Example

I have made a change to the userbox on User example to allow people to learn how to look up their statistics page, that tells how many edits they have made. If you don't like this feature, either change it back or let me know. I think it's a nice idea that if someone wants to claim how many edits they've made, they can prove it, or they can look up their edit counts. Paul Robinson (Rfc1394) 09:36, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dixon Ticonderoga

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Dixon Ticonderoga, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] User:Example again

Hello. I must admit I used your User:Example to test out how a template really would look on a users page- I don't totally trust the preview function, and also didn't feel convinced it would be absolutely right within my sandbox. (which it seemed to be, though.) But regarding this user: is it really such a bad idea to use it as a testbed for usertalk edits? I mean, why not use it as a sandbox? The reasons for not testing on a page, as the fear of having someone loading a "vandalized" page, seems to disintegrate when we are talking about a users talkpage- and a nonexistent user, that is.

[edit] Question

Over a month ago, you marked the article Wireless Zero Configuration as a copyvio of this. It doesn't appear to be so, and now the article has been noted at deletion review. Can you explain? Sr13 20:03, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, chap. I've changed the deletion review close and deleted the article. You were right, and I never would have noticed if you didn't tell me. Admins do make mistakes... Sr13 01:44, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Creating a REDIRECT link on a local Wiki

hello CesarB, I'm an Admin of dv.Wiki. Ihave been told that you are the person who can help me. Wat i would like to know is how to create a REDIRECT button on edit pages. I have been shown this conversation. But i couldnt figure out how to check out the extra buttons currently added on the Dhivehi Wikipedia. Please give me ur help.

Thanks for ur valuable time,

Best and Kind regards

--~GlaCiouS~ 12:08, 5 June 2007 (UTC)


To do it, you should copy the relevant parts of MediaWiki:Common.js to the page of the same name on your wiki. The relevant code would be something like:
 if (mwCustomEditButtons) {
   mwCustomEditButtons[mwCustomEditButtons.length] = {
     "imageFile": "http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c8/Button_redirect.png",
     "speedTip": "Redirect",
     "tagOpen": "#REDIRECT [[",
     "tagClose": "]]",
     "sampleText": "Insert text"};
 }
The reason you couldn't find the code is that it had been moved; at the time I had the mentioned conversation, it was at MediaWiki:Monobook.js. Also note that it is using an image from the English wiki; after it's working, it would be best to upload a local copy and change the code to use it instead of the /en/ copy. --cesarb 12:26, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks Cesar! I tried it by copying the relevent codes as u hav told and pasted by going to this page. It just doesnt seem to work. And Even i couldnt find the codes for the existing buttons. The page was completely empty. Any other options??

Thanks!!

[edit] Soft redirects

Hello. You didn't have to take Brian Radel and Jason Arrant to RfD; I would have self-reverted the prod deletion if you explained why soft redirects are bad. I didn't get any sense of that from reading Wikipedia:Soft redirect, though I don't have much experience with them. Best, nadav (talk) 00:44, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Groove (engineering) I don't understand either. This is not the kind of topic that merrits a long article, but a lot of articles are linked to it and would be left "hanging" in mid air. A simple definition would do? Peter Horn 01:24, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
As explained at the top of Category:Wikipedia soft redirects, {{softredirect}} is the wrong template for soft redirects to Wiktionary; it should be {{wi}} instead, if it is being recreated a lot (the default "article not found" message already has a link to the wiktionary, so {{wi}} is used only to prevent recreation). I added {{prod}} to see if someone believed it should be kept; if it weren't deleted, I would later change to the correct template, as I did on Juxtaposition. --cesarb 02:24, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
For the time being I've redirected Groove (engineering) to Tongue and groove until we find a better solution than that. Peter Horn 18:13, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
I've seen Juxtaposition & I'll try to do the same for Groove (engineering). Peter Horn 18:21, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
It would work only for groove, not for Groove (engineering) so for now it'll redirect to Tongue and groove. The alternative would be a redirct to groove, and I may just do that. Peter Horn 18:53, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding NAT

Dear Cesar:

Thanks for your reply regarding my NAT question. You seem pretty knowledgeable in these matters so I thought of asking you further here on your talk page.

The situation I have with my computer in residence is actually slightly different. My computer in my university's dorm actually has a real IP address that is (or used to be) directly reachable from the Internet.

But despicably, some crazy network admin in my university decides to slap on a "reflexive access control" policy to the dorm routers. The official policy reads as follows (http://www.ist.uwaterloo.ca/cn/Residence/faq.html#reflexive):

"Why can't people outside ResNet initiate a connection to my computer? To help protect your computer from intrusions, the ResNet control-point router maintains a "reflexive" access-control mechanism that rejects any traffic to your computer from any computer outside ResNet unless it was initiated by your computer. Could this sometimes cause communications initiated by me to fail?. Yes. When an application on your computer initiates a connection to an application on a non-ResNet computer, your ResNet router places a temporary "permit that traffic between these two computers" entry into its access-control list. After five minutes with no traffic in either direction, the router deletes that "permit" entry. If the non-ResNet computer then tries to send traffic to you, the router will discard that traffic. The non-ResNet computer will think you've gone away, and will terminate its end of the connection you initiated."

I run Linux just the same as you. But because of this stupid reflexive control, now all the services, HTTP, FTP, Telnet, on my Linux box is unreachable from outside of Resnet. I'm wondering if there is someway of having my computer broadcast a "keep alive" packet to a tunnel broker on the open Internet, to allow me access to my residence computer while I'm away on weekends in my home through the tunnel broker.

Thanks for your help,

--76.65.13.119 16:59, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

That "reflexive access policy" is probably nothing more than a stateful firewall with an excessively short timeout (it would cause any long-lived connection with more than 5 minutes between messages to disconnect and reconnect all the time). A better timeout would be longer than the TCP keepalive timer (more than two hours IIRC), so even idle connections wouldn't be terminated. If it's just a normal stateful firewall, Teredo should work fine; try installing miredo and check the syslog output to see if it worked. It uses a very short keepalive timer (I see about 15 seconds on my machine), so the connection would be kept open even with the ridiculously short firewall timeout. Of course, that's supposing the administrator didn't block the Teredo UDP ports... --cesarb 00:14, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Multimode Fiber contribution

Hi, I noticed that you completely eliminated the contributions that we made to the multimode fiber section, stating partial copyright violation of materials from the Fiber Optics LAN Section. Those edits were made on behalf of the FOLS because the information that is currently published is woefully out of date and technically no longer accurate. The information provided by the FOLS is devoid of promotion and is technically completely accurate. It was reviewed and edited by staff at Corning Incorporated, OFS, Berk Tek, Sumitomo Electric Lightwave, Draka Comteq, Superior Essex, Tyco Electronics, CommScope, the Fiber Optics Association, and the Telecommunications Industry Association.

Can you please explain to me why the revised copy cannot stand as it was written?

Thanks,

[edit] Request for undeletion - San Jose Lasers

Hi, would you kindly consider undeleting San Jose Lasers, which you deleted in September, 2005, or sending me a copy of the content? I had nothing to do with the original article so I don't know it's shortcomings but this is one of the American Basketball League (1996-1998) teams. Of those teams the majority do have their own Wikipedia article and this is the only one to have been deleted. The Lasers seem to be among the better known teams in the league and despite going defunct with the rest of the league in 1998 have more than 3000 google hits and 1,000+ news hits. I know these counts don't prove notability but I'm pretty sure that with a little digging I can find some reliable sources to show the team is notable, particularly in a time when there is increasing interest in women's sports, particularly women's pro basketball. As I said I have no idea what's in the now-deleted article but it would sure help to see the contents instead of trying again from scratch. Thanks, Wikidemo 18:23, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey mate, I saw the change you made to add back (0aa)on the area code, I just want to know the reason why? I don't see any other number these days been written like that. Only old ads. That´s why I thought it should go. Samuel Sol 10:37, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unicode blacklist

I happened to see an old comment of yours referring to a "unicode blacklist" to make it send &#xxx; instead of unicode characters to browsers that mess them up - it's been suggested that iCab on Mac OS 9 has trouble with unicode characters in forms inputs, though I can't check it myself (and the user who has been having trouble has other difficulties, etc, that make it hard to communicate). Just thought it might be something worth checking into. —Random832 15:50, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: The weather in London

Hrm. Generally, we don't ever have talk pages for non-existent article-space pages. This page would be the only exception, which I don't really like. Plenty of articles are create-protected, but we don't leave a note on their talk pages. And using the {{for}} template seems ridiculous. This page was never intended to be a legitimate article, and nobody searching would look for it and then want to actually navigate to an article about the climate of London from that talk page. I favor deleting it. Thoughts? --MZMcBride (talk) 17:29, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I was going to mention that. I think coming up with a better example would be best. Though, I've made a mental note to try to not delete it when doing G8s in the future. Thanks for the note. --MZMcBride (talk) 17:47, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
