"Exploration of fictional societies is one of the most interesting aspects of science fiction, allowing it to perform predictive (H.G. Wells, The Final Circle of Paradise) and precautionary (Fahrenheit 451) functions, to criticize the contemporary world (Antarctica-online) and to present solutions (Walden Two), to portray alternative societies (World of the Noon) and to examine the implications of ethical principles (the works of Sergey Lukyanenko)."

message: Back in May 2007, the link to my fansite about William Sleator was removed by ShelfSkewed.  I know that Wikipedia is not a directory, and I respect that.  From my research about fansites on Wikipedia, I gather that only "major" fansites should be included in external links. Since my site has been the first Google result when searching for William Sleator, since it has been at its current location since 1999, and since the page predates the basic "official page" maintained by his brother,  I respectfully propose that the link be reinstated.
Royce 00:18, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: My issue with the site is not that it's a fansite, but that there's not much there that isn't already in the article, or that won't be in the article as it grows and improves. External links should be for sites that go beyond what the WP article might reasonably be expected to include or material that can't be used in its entirety in the article (interviews, for example). Also none of the material on the site is referenced (granted, neither is the WP article, but that's a different issue) so it doesn't work as a reliable source. But that's just one editor's opinion.

I think we should start the article with this name, though it's a primary source. For example . His father's name too reads as Brijmohan Bhatia. Possibly indicating that he too changed his name over the years. Rejoy2003(talk) 14:08, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

In cases such as these (for basic facts of birthplace, date etc.) official records (as included in the Twitter post) and WP:SPS statements from the subject themselves (as in the interview) are preferable over tertiary sources like Britannica.
 I think the changes requested in the edit request in light of these sources should be made. Any further comments would be appreciated. Gotitbro (talk) 16:54, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Cdrtools

message: A person from Norway that is well known for frequent vandalism attacks using IPs hits again.
This time, he claims that "modern" OS support SCSI transport via a file descriptor opened from a /dev/* based driver entry.
Provable fact is however that most OS do not support the non-standard /dev/* based interface for SCSI at all but rather only implement an interface that is identical or similar to the SCSI CAM standard interface.
Conclusion: There is somebody who likes do abuse Wikipedia to harm a OSS project with false claims. Software that ignores the SCSI CAM standard and that is based on SCSI transport on a filedescriptor opened from a /dev/* entry only, could only support 20% of the platforms that are supported by cdrecord and would need to ignore the vast majority of the installed computer base, as it could neither support MS Windows nor OSX. 
The fact that cdrecord does not follow the wishes from people like our attacker, but rather honors existing standards results in the support for nearly any system in the world. Schily (talk) 10:05, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Regardless, there are two different factors used for a primary topic. One is long-term significance, but the other factor is usage, and here the current topic is by far the most used based upon the page view stats.
