[edit] Vandalism

In response to your question on the Wikipedia_talk:Vandalism_in_progress talk page:

It depends on the circumstances. Reading the following may answer your question: Resolving disputes, Requests for arbitration, Three-revert rule. I have found in some edit wars, where there are conflicting points of view, simply rewording the conflicting part in order to reach a middle ground may be successful.
For example
  • Joe contends A
  • Bill contends B
Rewriting the section to state that "some people believe A, while others believe B" or something along those lines may help resolve the dispute.

[edit] Re: Vandalism

bmicomp, thank you very much for the links to those Wiki explanation-pages and also sorry for a quite delayed response. Also, I must emphasize that I agree with you about the edit wars - one could simply edit the article (and end the respective edit war) in a manner that it would offer two explanations, two points of view.

[edit] Re: Welcome

Thanks Ragib for a friendly welcoming message and also thanks for inviting me to your discussion page. I will just repeat once more what I already wrote on your talk-page: Talk.

  • In my opinion, Wikipedia is definitely a great community of "spare-time contributors" to the general Common good.

[edit] Apologies

Hi there! You'll probably have received an e-mail regarding a new password for your Wikipedia account... Well, it's been my fault. I'm user Wayfarer on the spanish Wikipedia, so when I tried to login here I tried the same username and password. After several attempts, I pressed the "Send me a new password" button thinking that I had forgotten the password... and a minute after that I noticed my mistake.

So if you haver received the Change Password Request mail, don't think that a hacker has been trying to steal your account... but just a forgetful spaniard! ;-)

Kind regards, -- Wayfarer.es 14:59, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AfD notification

[edit] AfD nomination of DNSKong

I've nominated DNSKong, an article you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that DNSKong satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion; I have explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DNSKong and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of DNSKong during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Cornell Rockey 20:06, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD and DNSKong

OK sorry Cornell Rockey, you know, I wasn't totally sure why it was deleted in the first place, so I just recreated the article in question. Thanks for explaining it to me!!

[edit] viruus

Regarding this edit, is the convention not to use a macron (virũs) rather than two u's in succesion? I wasn't sure, so I didn't change it. The spelling virũs does appear later in the article. — The Storm Surfer 22:56, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] TP Systems, Inc.

A tag has been placed on TP Systems, Inc., requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Alvestrand 20:26, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
