Talk:PC LOAD LETTER

message: The Beejive info was removed because it lacked a reference.  (At least that was the stated reason)  So, I reverted it and simply added a reference.  I have a loose association with Beejive, but I think adding a requested reference seems reasonable. Aepryus (talk) 17:59, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Someone anonymously removed the paragraph on May 20, 2009, with the note "Advertisement for the iPhone app removed".  No one associated with Beejive wrote/added that paragraph originally or modified it in anyway.  To my knowledge no one has ever created a Beejive article in Wikipedia, what-so-ever.  The paragraph was unceremoniously removed a few weeks ago claiming it was done so because it lacked references, without bothering to add a reference request and seemingly without making any effort to look for any references, since a google search of (beejive "PC LOAD LETTER") returns ~3000 results including on the first page a link to an article from the washington post.  I reverted the deletion and added the reference to the washington post and then explicitly said so above.  I am not arguing that the paragraph should be included in this article.  But, if the reason it is not included in the article is because it lacked references, then I can provide a strong one from the washington post ([]).  However, I strenuously reject the implication and the insult of the latest deletion note and ask anonymous to justify his assertion. Aepryus (talk) 16:41, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  It wasn't me, but it seems like it was the right call.  I note that the article mentioned above isn't a Washington Post article, it's just second-sourced copy from TechCrunch, which while generally well-informed is nonetheless a very personal and often speculative blog.  Not to mention that the article, dated only two months ago, says "A quick Google search for "Beejive" and "PC Load letter" turns up only a few dozen results, a number of which are people complaining that they've been banned unfairly", although as you point out, there are now over 3,000.

replies: text:  Again, I offer no opinion, as to whether the paragraph should be included or not.  If the only reason for not including it, is the lack of references as to whether the behavior is true or not, then I think the washington post and/or tech crunch article is more than sufficient.  My more serious concern was the accusation that this paragraph's existence was the doing of Beejive marketing; I and Beejive had nothing to do with it what-so-ever; with the exception of me adding the "requested" reference.  I have no idea why someone cares so much about removing this paragraph; as I implied in my original post here, I strongly suspected that the reference argument was red herring; just as the "advertising" argument is probably now.Aepryus (talk) 03:03, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Cute. On the off chance you or anyone else is still around, can you provide a photo? I suspect this has become more rare lately and will soon be obsolete as more and more machines move to touchscreen displays with graphical images instead of a dot matrix.  For what it's worth, I've seen this type of message on large freestanding copy machines as well, but that job was quite a long time ago.  —Soap— 20:22, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: @Soap My machine isn't nearly in as good shape as the one at the top of the article, but it still can produce the error message: :File:ME_FEED_MONARCH.jpg. --Ahecht (TALKPAGE) 22:43, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thank you, I  think that would be a great addition to the article.  I havent    kept up with Wikipedia lately but   Im sure other people would appreciate seeing the variant form of the message. —Soap— 00:31, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
