Hi, could you revert 24.127.111.166's edits in the Intel Core 2 article? He changed the X6800's release date to 'already released', which is simply not the case. Conroe's official release date is July 27, the fact that a few online retailers have chosen to release the X6800 early does not change the fact that the release date is the 27th. I asked him to self-revert, but he simply refused. Dionyseus 09:26, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

UN Convention on the Safety of Lives at Sea
[edit]Thanks for wikilinking tonnage. It helps the article, and more generally helps in the rather hot discussion of units being used on nautical subjects. Howard C. Berkowitz 17:36, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for correcting the ref links. I attempted to do it correctly but I am not entirely familiar with the wiki ref system yet; the embedded link was the first I'd learnt. The article had none that I could conform too either. I am keen to clean up the article (it is pretty poor quality at the moment) as my first personal wiki "project". I appreciate your corrections and please drop me a note if you can suggest a good way of referencing a single site (the Paddington Bear official site) multiple times. Cheers

[edit]I originally reverted your edits because you included this sentence: "Once the DVD Forum has approved the final specification, Toshiba will test the new "Trip-Layer" discs with existing HD DVD hardware to determine if it is compatible." Which is not supported by any reference. In fact its false, as now is when the official player compatibility testing begins, and once its done they will approve the final spec (if any changes are needed). But to get to my other point even preliminary specs are valid parts of the specification, just as Blu-ray launched without 50GB disks, it did not keep us from saying they had them in the spec (Although for all we know it was a preliminary spec, as the BDA is very closed about such things). --Ray andrew 15:08, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
- OK, I see the quote in BetaNews, sorry for the revert, it just flew in the face of everything else that I have herd. All the insiders I have herd from said that the unofficial testing already showed they worked and the "official test" was now underway. I'll see if I can find any references, but until then sorry for the trouble. --Ray andrew 16:08, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:BBC Radio Ulster logo.gif)
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:BBC Radio Ulster logo.gif. 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. BJBot (talk) 05:06, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
Thank You
[edit]Thanks for pointing out my information was incorrect. Although it does say there are more deaths when you go to the 2009 swine flu outbreak in Mexico page. —Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|Happyperson95 (talk) 00:46, 1 May 2009 (UTC)]] comment added by Happyperson95 (talk • contribs) 00:41, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Reverted edit
[edit]Hi, why did you revert my edit on Opinion polling for the next United Kingdom general election? All other links to YouGov polls link directly to the PDF tables, not the YouGov website. Zcbeaton (talk) 16:26, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Zcbeaton, while I realise that for YouGov polls it has been common practice to link directly to the PDF tables, I do not think that this is the option that serves our readers best. As I explained in the edit summary, the article on the YouGov website provides analysis of the results and puts them into context. I believe this is information that many readers would find useful in understanding the data. For anyone who wants to read the full PDF tables (and I am one), they are simply a click away. Of course, the converse is not true: if we link to the PDF tables, there is no easy way for our readers to access the analysis from the pollster as it is not linked from the PDF tables. This is why I think that linking to the article is the best option. —Paul1337 (talk) 17:04, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

You is the first who ever thanked me on this Wikipedia
[edit]Hi! I see you thanked me for my edits in two templates (one of them was created by you). You is the first who ever thanked me on this Wikipedia. My home wiki is Russian Wikipedia where I want to someday become administrator, but first, I need to become patroller (reviewer). In Russian Wikipedia, before RfA, it is preferred to also get a right to delete pages (a technical name of a flag is «closer» because users with this flag have a right to close some deletion discussions). In English Wikipedia, some deletion discussions can be closed by any registered user but only administrators can delete pages, while in Russian Wikipedia, users who can't delete pages may not close deletion discussions (the only exemption is nominator withdrawal). With regards, Guest Kashapov (talk) 01:05, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
- Hi, you're welcome! :) And I hope you're successful in becoming an administrator on Russian Wikipedia. —Paul1337 (talk) 17:27, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
visionOS LPR/LSR
[edit]Thank you for the release/preview version edits to the visionOS infobox! Can you point me to a resource that explains how these templates work? It's not clear to me where it is pulling this data. Celjski Grad (talk) 09:51, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Celjski Grad Happy to help :) The template pages themselves should give you a good idea how they work: {{LSR}} and {{LPR}}. To add the info that shows up in the infobox, I created {{Latest stable software release/visionOS}} and {{Latest preview software release/visionOS}}. And when anyone wants to edit the version in the future, they can simply click the [±] link at the end, which will open up the template subpage for editing. —Paul1337 (talk) 11:48, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- Very cool—thanks! Celjski Grad (talk) 11:50, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
