message: I removed the words "for use for scholarly, private and non-profit purposes" as there is no basis for this restriction under US law.  Published in France or Italy in the 14th C., the work is PD-100 (PD worldwide) as the author of the Latin text has been dead for between 5 and 7 hundred years.

message: For the avoidance of doubt, the great majority of Wikipedia editors are, or claim to be, humans. We humans find that things that are neatly laid out and suitably spaced apart are easier to read, easier to check, and easier to correct or extend, i.e. to edit. Compression may make life easier for computers and those from planet Vulcan (who knows, but until editing is fully-automated, spaces are useful, and I shall be happy to insist upon them.

Talk:Hereford and Worcester Scout County (The Scout Association)

message: I have consulted with another editor - outside of Scouting.  Assuming good faith, I'm afraid that I cannot see that these new sites fit in with Wikipedia as they appear effectively nothing more than a list of branches of The Scout Association.  For further information on this please see the section Wikipedia is not a soapbox on Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, notably the section on advertising.  Even when open to Groups of all Associations these pages were of suspect standard, and closing them to independent Groups has not helped in any way.  
I suggest returning them to their original format, a new format that allows all Scouting in a County to be reported, or, alternatively, deleted as inappropriate.  -- DiverScout (talk) 19:04, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes, I agree. I think the MOS actually recommends against disambiguating by geographic location unless it's necessary, which it isn't here.

Talk:Škoda Roomster

message: "The Roomster is Škoda's first car since the Volkswagen Group's take over of the brand that is not based on an existing Volkswagen platform. Instead, it shares components with the previous Škoda Octavia and the current Škoda Fabia."
LOL so Roomster is not based on VW, it is just based on Octavia and Fabia, which are based on VW.
:I've corrected that comment - it is actually based on the Golf Mk4 PQ34 platform, albeit with some modification.  78.32.143.113 (talk) 17:28, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

It can be done, but not if you try to combine the optional internal bike carrier (which is supposed to hold two bikes in an upright position) and a front-seat passenger.

It is very difficult to read this sentence in a way that doesn't mean that it was the first car brought to market by Skoda after being taken over by VAG, which is of course not true, since that was the Felicia more than a decade earlier. Looking at the talk page it's not the first time that wording to this effect has been featured in the article. Should be improved but maybe I'm misunderstanding the sentence, but it isn't the first Skoda on PQ34 either, so I'm not able to make much sense of the intended meaning. 77.171.57.161 (talk) 15:42, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

My quick Google search didn't not shed light on this matter. My guts is this article is probably right and the source I cited above is wrong. But who knows the truth.

Talk:Overlap

message: deleted advertising. See article and deletion discussion. Widefox 11:33, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Your editing of the advertising outtakes to re-establish the advertising is strictly against wikipedia WP:NOT. I quote:
"
Wikipedia is not a soapbox
Wikipedia is not a soapbox or a vehicle for propaganda and advertising. Therefore, Wikipedia articles are not:
   1. Propaganda or advocacy of any kind. Of course, an article can report objectively about such things, as long as an attempt is made to approach a neutral point of view. You might wish to go to Usenet or start a blog if you want to convince people of the merits of your favorite views. You can also use Wikinfo which promotes a "sympathetic point of view" for every article.
   2. Self-promotion. You are free to write about yourself or projects you have a strong personal involvement in. However, do remember that the standards for encyclopedic articles apply to such pages just like any other, including the requirement to maintain a neutral point of view, which is difficult when writing about yourself. Creating overly abundant links and references to autobiographical articles is unacceptable. See Wikipedia:Autobiography, Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest.
   3. Advertising. Articles about companies and products are acceptable if they are written in an objective and unbiased style. Furthermore, all article topics must be third-party verifiable, so articles about very small "garage" or local companies are not likely to be acceptable. External links to commercial organizations are acceptable if they can serve to identify major corporations associated with a topic (see finishing school for an example). Please note Wikipedia does not endorse any businesses and it does not set up affiliate programs. See also WP:CORP for guidelines on corporate notability.

thread_title: Areas

message: Now that this article has survived AfD, it needs improving. We have plenty of UK Scout County articles that are much better than this, so I do not think we need to combine them into one article. Let us retain the pattern we have for the other Scout Counties. The other surviving Manchester article, Scouting in Greater Manchester West is in worse shape, while Scouting in Greater Manchester East was speedy deleted, but could be recreated if we make it good enough, with enough sourced material. I think one problem is that these counties are fairly recent and material is widely scattered. Please, if you know about Scouting in Manchester help to improve these articles and help to find good sources. --Bduke 04:56, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I worked up Cumbria the other day but Royal Berkshire is much better. Basically we need third party sources, history, census numbers, notable events and notable people.

Talk:RTP Control Protocol

message: In the version of 09:06, 16 October 2007, this article gave the expansion of RTCP as 
:RTP Control Protocol
That expansion matches the expansion that RFC 3550 gives.
At 09:09, 16 October 2007, an anonymous editor changed the expansion of RTCP to
:Real-time Transport Control Protocol
I have a few problems with that change
# The recursive expansion of 'RTP Control Protocol' is 'Real-Time Transport Protocol Control Protocol'.  The capitalization is debatable, but the words are not.
# 'Real-Time Transport Protocol Control Protocol' sounds strange because in the expansion you repeat 'Protocol'.  And in the initialism you leave out the initial 'P' of the 1st 'Protocol'.  But the strange expansion correctly describes what RTCP controls.  RTCP controls another protocol -- RTP.
# If you have a problem with RFC 3550, the way to fix that is with a superseding  RFC.  It is the job of Wikipedia editors to use the terminology in the  RFC, not to change the terminology in the  RFC.  No matter how bad the terminology in the  RFC is.
I propose reverting the expansion of RTCP to
: RTP Control Protocol
as it is in RFC 3550.  And make the 'RTP' part a link to the  RTP page.

Talk:Rebecca Mark-Jusbasche

message: This article includes heavy claims and needs additional sourcing.
The Early Life section about First City is irrelevant and misleading. It implies Marks was employed at First City at the same time as Skilling,that information lacks a source and is unverifiable. Also the part about Hussein is random and irrelevant. My other edits were done because the information was either bias or also unverifiable, due to poor sourcing.

But the book also argues that she also made some poor decisions herself in charge, such as paying herself and her Enron friends very high salaries off of a dying company.
