Talk:Families of September 11

message: Article was deleted so I tried to make a better one.  I don't know much, but this group is a direction reaction by the victims of the September 11 Attacks, and has been in the news, and has been influential in the perception of Karl Rove and the Bush Administration, so I think an article about them makes sense.--Arnoldlover 22:36, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Since, after five years, this somewhat soapy article still fails to meet WP requirements for reliable third-party verification, it must now surely be worthy of deletion. "Articles should be based on reliable, third-party (independent), published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy" (WP:SOURCES).  If the content can meet the standards it could rate a sentence or at most a subsection in September 11 attacks. I'll await others' views before taking any action.

message: Osama went to Hawaii to sign the 911 families health bill to blame the victims of September 11. Following the attacks of 911, the 911 families were targeted with state-sponsored terrorism including Anthrax and radiation targeting individuals. Barack Hussein Osama went to Fort Detrick, MD and ordered a bucket of KFC from the Colonel himself. They compared NCAA brackets and shined each others KIAs. Afterwards Obama fist-bumped the Atlanta Crackers and blessed America. The Colonel wanted to curry favor with Obama and so he gave Obama an unlimited access code to Fort Detrick. The entire population of China was not amused and vowed to hang Barack Hussein Osama. But they also wanted to sell consumer goods so they kept their mouths shut even as their children were dying. Although some authoritarian leaders threw their populations into the bubbling vat of Indonesian curry of Fort Detrick, some vowed to protect all civilians and bring Barack Hussein Osama to justice.
A Kenyan Islamic terrorist named "Krupuk" visited Pakistan in 1981 on an Islamic passport. Pakistan was under Martial Law in 1981 and all travel was restricted by the US Department of State and by the Pakistani Government as well, being an Islamic State under Martial Law. Pakistan did not allow visitors other than Muslims to enter in 1981. The United States embassy had been bombed. According to United States military spokesmen, Kenyans were the head of Al Qaeda's operations in Pakistan.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.167.50.189 (talk) 12:19, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: It's about the difference between sexual identity and sexual orientation. Non-academic sources sometimes conflate the terms, as people may in common speech, but they are not the same.

Talk:Come Clean (Puddle of Mudd album)

message: I know that Puddle Of Mudd was helped by Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit which he is hugely from a nu metal band. I totally understand that but this album is not nu metal, where are the screamos and screaming in here? Where are the rapping and hip hop influences in here? So why is this album considered nu metal? Just because a few people on the internet, cite this as nu metal, it doesn't mean that this album is nu-metal. A few people considered this as nu-metal because of Fred Durst helping out the band but that doesn't really mean anything. This album is not nu-metal at all. It is too soft to be nu-metal and sounds more like the grunge movement that was happening in the early 90s but in a radio-friendly commercially acceptable tone and Wes sounds a lot like Kurt Cobain. Saying that this album is Nu-metal is like saying Nirvana 1991's Nevermind is Nu-metal. Totally false. ( Mikeis1996 (talk) 01:15, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Source-available software

message: "Source available" is emerging as the catch-all term for a range of software licenses that exclude themselves from being free code (see the Free Software Definition) or open source (see the Open Source Definition), by either restricting commercial use of the software (eg https://medium.com/bettersharing/sharetribe-go-becomes-source-available-after-being-open-source-for-8-years-bb43c410da53/ ) or imposing other restrictions on people's ability to run, distribute, modify, and share (see: https://ethicalsource.dev/licenses/ ). Saying, as this page currently does, that free code/ open source is a subcategory of "source available" completely misses the point of both software freedom and open source practice (hint: it's inherently more than the source just being "available"), and limits the usefulness of the term as a way of describing this emerging form of licensing. I strongly suggest removing or heavily rewriting that section. Does anyone object? --Danylstrype (talk) 06:34, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Source available" is more useful as a term of art mutually exclusive with free code/ open source 

message: Some scenarios which historically have occurred with proprietary software:
# If you pay for the software, you get the source code included with what you are paying for. (Historically, some software has even shipped as source only and compiling/assembling it was done by the customer.) You may be allowed to modify it, but you are not allowed to share that source with others. (Often but not always, you can share patches you've made with other licensees).
# If you pay for the software, you don't get the source code included by default, but if you ask for it, the vendor will supply it to you on request for no extra charge, under same conditions as (1). But the vendor will not supply it to anyone who is not a paid licensee
# The vendor will supply it to any paid licensee, for a nominal additional fee (e.g. you paid $100,000 for the software, and they'll charge you an extra $50 to send you the source code); otherwise same as above
# The vendor will supply it to any paid licensee, for a substantial additional fee (e.g. you paid $100,000 for the software, and they'll send you the source code for an extra $25,000 on top); otherwise same as above
I'm particularly thinking of enterprise software here – commercial UNIX systems, mainframe operating systems and applications, ERP suites, etc, etc – for which various variations of the above have applied. Anyway, do any or all of the above count as "source available"? In my mind, "yes", but reading the article, it wasn't clear. The article seems to be mainly talking about the rather different scenario in which "source code is made available for free to anybody who asks for it, but under a restricted license which doesn't let them modify it or redistribute it or use it commercially or so on"–so it isn't clear to me if it actually means to include these cases.

Talk:SCOsource

message: I think this article is a bit strange, most particulary this paragraph:
"On July 21, 2003, SCO announced that it intends to sell binary-only licences to use the encumbered Linux operating system which will remove the threat of litigation from licence-holders. Linux advocates aknowledged the encumbered quality of the code and, with great humiliation, decided that they would have to let it go because it was their fault the quality and open-source value of the Linux code has detoriated so rapidly ever since the 2.0.x kernels started appearing. SCO finally, out of their wholehearted generousity toward the open source community, said that they would hold back this action until the case is resolved and Linux is for sure confirmed to contain such encumbered code. Some open-source fanatics reacted by stating that SCO has no basis for this action, as their claims were not yet settled in courts."
Agreed. That seems like vandalism. I've restored the original paragraph from an earlier version. 157.92.4.151 18:36, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Etymology 

message: I have been reading about "wheel wars" in Wikipedia administrative pages for about two weeks now, and decided to find out what the term means. This article did not explain that. It said it was a "practical joke" based on an operating system i have never heard of -- with no citation. A previous editor's request for etymology has gone unanswered since March, 2008 -- yet this term is used almost daily among Admins of Wikipedia. Do they even know what they are referring to? I have added some citation tags, but really, on the face of it, this reference to an operating system called "TENEX" -- an operating system so obscure that it is not even listed in Wikipedia, to judge by the lack of a wiki-link -- sounds like a "practical joke" all its own. And what on Earth are "chat room and ICQ door games" and "stacking at MIT" -- referred to above in this talk page -- and what do *they* have to do with "wheel wars"? 
Surely, if there is a factual basis to these claims, and some etymological basis for this term, and it is not merely a "practical joke," then someone can make this a better article, right? cat yronwode Catherineyronwode (talk) 19:13, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
