[edit] Renaming user language categories?
I found a comment you made a while back in Wikipedia talk:Babel/Archive1#Category: User languages -> Wikipedians by languages ??, expressing support for the idea of renaming user language categories like Category:User en to Category:Wikipedians who speak English or the like. I've just submitted a CfR to do so at Wikipedia:User categories for discussion#Category:User en, so please feel free to weigh in if you feel moved to do so. :-) Tim Pierce 04:04, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] GLT article speedied
Hello, just letting you know that the article about the GLT OpenGL library, GLT (programming), was flagged for speedy deletion, after moving the text from GLT, which was turned into a disambiguation page. -- intgr 11:00, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- You left this on my talk page: "I assume you were the one who flagged GLT for speedy deletion."
- The answer is no, I just moved the content off the disambiguation page (article "GLT") to "GLT (programming)", and it was flagged for speedy after that by someone else; I don't know who initially tagged it. Ideally, admins should keep an eye on what actually qualifies for speedy deletion and what doesn't, so if you think this was an error, I suppose you should contact User:Steel359 instead. -- intgr 15:19, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] create an account
Please create an account. Talking with IP numbers if not very nice. --MarSch 15:04, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
- I already have an account, I just don't use it very often. But really, what's wrong with an IP address? After all, it's not like it's a dynamic IP. 80.233.255.7 16:09, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

- Well why don't you use your account then? What's wrong with names? --MarSch 16:21, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

- Nothing wrong with names. It's just that it's either one more password to type in every day or one more permanent cookie on my PC, both equally undesirable. :) 80.233.255.7 17:03, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Linux
Hi, MarSch. I think that a little more work on Linux would bring it to Featured Article status. I would be grateful for your opinion here. Thanks. Axl 12:16, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Provide explanation for removal of text from Paul Graham wiki page
Please provide an explanation for why you removed from Paul Graham, "A list of his essays is the first Google English language search result for the query "essays," as of March 4, 2007." I thought this statement was a good way of showing that he was notable as an essayist. - Connelly 05:28, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
- for the talk page maybe. I don't think it is the kind of info that should be in an article. --MarSch 11:33, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
-
- OK, I'll try and make the point that he's a notable essayist some other way, perhaps by quoting a source. - Connelly 19:00, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] BeerTender
A tag has been placed on BeerTender, 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 or service and which 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 page 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. RJASE1 Talk 16:35, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hi RJASE,
- I don't think that page is blatant advertizing. It is just about a product. You may want to compare PerfectDraft and Senseo. I do think it would be good if BeerTender and PerfectDraft were merged, maybe into beer tapping system. --MarSch 17:32, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Please be responsible when deleting huge swaths of text
- Actually merge this into Linux distribution.
- Consider creating a Linux desktop sub-article for this.
- Don't delete mention of proprietary software because it's "incoherent".
In general, please tie up loose ends. 70.53.40.232 17:32, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- Those first two are valid suggestions and you are free to implement them. I don't necessarily agree that they should be done though. Incoherent text has no place in an article of this length. --MarSch 17:43, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- I know I can fix them. I'm asking *you* to try and make less destructive edits. 70.53.40.232 17:51, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Template:Mathematics featured articles
I found this template when making a list of all math-related templates. You created it in 2005 and it has not been edited since 2005. Nothing seems to link to it or transclude it except your user page. Would you mind if it was deleted? CMummert ยท talk 13:50, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- no, please go ahead. --MarSch 09:59, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
