[edit] Template:User girlfriend-wish

Hi, I notice that you are using Template:User girlfriend-wish, which has been moved to {{User:UBX/girlfriendwish}}. The link currently being used on your page is a cross-namespace redirect and will probably not last. It may be advisable to change the link. Thanks. —Mi ra 02:43, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] TeX mascot

Hi Oneiros, you recently removed the TeX mascot image from the TeX article, which is probably a correct thing to do whoever the copyright holder is. However, if I remember well a exchange of emails that we had a few months ago, you were ready to provide this image under a licence acceptable for use in Wikipedia; is that still possible ?

[edit] Your edit to Watchmen

Thanks for fixing that link! --Erik 01:27, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sighrik's talk page

please stop threatening me. it's a pretty lame way to treat new users. how are people supposed to know you can't erase messages after you read them? if that's not even just something you made up. Sighrik 17:21, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

At least you've learned to sign your posts.

[edit] UJRE

The ticket from the 2002 farewell tour on my pinboard reads "The United Jazz + Rock Ensemble" ... Never mind ... --Pjt56 20:02, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Portable Document Format

I have changed the article again to indicate that PDF is an open standard and is not proprietary. I did this after reading both of these articles, to see how Wikipedia defines "open" and "proprietary". In Talk:Portable Document Format you'll find this has already been the subject of some discussion a while back – to which you may of course wish to add. Notinasnaid 14:35, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Brad Hines

Oneiros,

Did you get the rebuttal information on the "Brad Hines" talk page? Please do not remove this entry. Simply check up on the references. There person is a pivotal person in the domain name industry, the domain industry is not exactly going to suddenly have less signifigance, nor is the president of one of the leading companies within the industry.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Utzchips (talk • contribs) 2006-11-01T12:47:20.

The talk page had no content when I added the template. Oh, and please sign your posts.--Oneiros 10:52, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] TeX Users Group

Hi Oneiros, I see you are interested in the logo of TUG; as you can see, I have inserted it in the article so that it is obvious what it looks like. However, as one can see in the page http://www.tug.org/, the logo is not used in text, where the commonly used version "TeX" is the norm (as seen as well on Donald Knuth's homepage). There was been a discussion about this on Talk:TeX a while ago; while the TeX logo is very nice when typeset using TeX itself, it should probably not be used in other context when technical limitations makes it impossible to reproduce anyway. All the best, Schutz 23:06, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding 142.151.175.39

Sorry, but what WP:AIV deals with obvious vandalism. What 142.151.175.39 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • WHOIS • RDNS • trace • RBLs • http • block user • block log) has been engaging in is a content dispute and I would hesitate to exercise my sole authority to block him/her. Edit warring should be brought up at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents for review by multiple administrators. -- Netsnipe ► 16:16, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Minor edits

You posted a comment on how you use minor edits on the talk page of my IP (User talk:83.227.141.19) which I sometimes post as when I forget to login. IP users can't flag edits as minor so the comment would only confuse a genuine new anonymous user (some one who is not just a registered user too lazy to login). The comment about that I should provide more edit summaries is very much correct. Thanks for the reminder, I have been too lazy lately. Jeltz talk 23:46, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adobe LifeCyle Reader Extensions

Thanks for your feedback. Could you comment on why FormRouter's external link is not considered spam. While "Technically" our service is not Adobe lifecyle reader extension, we do provide the functionality that most people who are interested in ARES are looking for, and at no charge.

[edit] TeX trademark

Hi Oneiros, you made an interesting addition to TeX about the trademarking of "TeX" by the AMS, referring to p. 1 of the TeXbook. In my copy, I can see the reference to TEX, but I don't see any information about the rejection of the TeX trademark — quite the opposite in fact, since my copy (which dates from after 1996) still indicate that TeX is a trademark of the AMS. Do you have any other source about this information ? All the best, Schutz 14:32, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I contacted Barbara Beeton. Her words: “it was, and is, a claimed trademark, but rejected for registration - at the time this was tried, ‘TEX’ (all caps) was registered by Honeywell for some sort of text processing system.” The TEX-trademark is mentioned in the TeXbook.--Oneiros 16:46, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Hum, this is frustrating because I can't find anything in my copy (at least not on p. 1). I may have a look at the online TeX code for the book, it should be up to date (and I will be able to perform a search on the whole text at once). The problem with Barbara Beeton's quote is that we can not cite it (it seems to be a personal communication, not something good enough for a reference in Wikipedia). However, I have found the record in the USPTO database, indicating that the registration was abandoned in 1985; this should be enough to write something for the article. Cheers, Schutz 23:30, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

According to her, the book is not in error because it's still a claimed trademark. If you have a link to USPTO, please share. Also note that the Metafont trademark has lapsed; this can be found quite easily at the USPTO.--Oneiros 08:53, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

I haven't found a direct link; start from http://www.uspto.gov/main/trademarks.htm, click "Search" on the right, choose "Basic search", then use search term "73478133" and pick "Serial number" as field, and it should get you to the right page. Schutz 08:17, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gulf War and minor edits

Oneiros's posting on my talk page, my response.Nwe 16:47, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Please remember to mark your edits, as you did to Gulf War as minor when (and only when) they genuinely are minor edits (see Wikipedia:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one (and vice versa) is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' Thank you. --Oneiros 18:12, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Huh? I didn't mark any edits to Gulf War as minor.Nwe 16:44, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

No response, if you're going to post warning messages relating to wiki policy on someone's page, you should be prepared to respond to any queries that arise from that.Nwe 15:38, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Sorry. You didn't mark (IMHO) minor edits as so. But I'm not going to pursue this; take it as a friendly reminder.--Oneiros 20:47, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

You couldn't pursue it anywhere even if you wanted to, generally whether to mark an edit as minor is left up to the discretion of the editor, besides which the message you posted on my talk page was a warning against marking major edits as minor.Nwe 10:15, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

“Marking a major change as a minor one (and vice versa)”.--Oneiros 22:06, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I see, I'm not important enough to warrant a response. Typical Wikipedia editor. 71.227.26.32 19:03, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

You are not important enough, that's true. Are you related to User:Mmcannis?--Oneiros 19:59, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Germany Invitation

Hello, Oneiros! I'd like to call your attention to the WikiProject Germany and the German-speaking Wikipedians' notice board. I hope their links, sub-projects and discussions are interesting and even helpful to you. If not, I hope that new ones will be.

[edit] Issuing vandalism warnings

This is clearly not vandalism. Blnguyen, an admin and arbitrator, added content from List of Lebanese Australians to Lebanese Australian because it was short enough for inclusion in the main article. Please re-familiarize yourself with WP:VANDALISM to avoid similar mistakes in the future. Thanks, Nishkid64 (talk) 00:31, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, my fault.--Oneiros (talk) 00:32, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Opj logo.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Opj logo.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 23:07, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
