I saw your comment on Talk:Hamming code and am seeking input. Could you comment on the changes I've made to Hamming code and Hamming(7,4)? Both technically and in prose. Thanks in advance for any input (or good comments)! :) Cburnett 07:56, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
That is, they should refrain from adding unwanted binary prefixes to articles that originally did nor have them! please read WP:MOSNUM's discussion page to understand the rationale behind why this paragraph was added.Mahjongg 23:57, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:ZX Rebelstar 1.png. 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. BetacommandBot 01:05, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
Please do not revert changes being made by User:Wgungfu to the Amstrad article that are being made to revert the changes made by the banned user User:Sarenne who is infamous for bulk changing binary prefixes in hundreds of articles. WP:MOSNUM#Binary_prefixes states "There is no consensus to use the newer IEC-recommended prefixes in Wikipedia articles to represent binary units. There is consensus that editors should not change prefixes from one style to the other" and "When in doubt, stay with established usage in the article, and follow the lead of the first major contributor.". In this article the first major contributor is this revision and as you can clearly see the style is to not use IEC. The binary prefixes were changed by the banned user in this later diff.

Hi! Glancing at your user page once I saw that we were both stomping on the same Women's World Cup article, I saw where you mentioned having gone insane by linking to Japanese articles despite not knowing Japanese.
I thought you might feel comforted by my revelation of what must surely be an even more desperate (though related) form of madness: I have actually signed up for, and edited articles on, the Japanese Wikipedia, despite being similarly unable to speak, read, or even type the language.
Fortunately, they used Arabic numerals for Homare Sawa's caps and goals totals. :-) — Ray Radlein 11:57, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Dude, are you wikistalking me? ;) I tried to document those templates but had an edit conflict as you beat me to it! Thanks for all your help these past few days. Andrwsc 18:08, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
You're welcome. While I was merging the histories, I was wondering whether they should be at page names like 2002 Women's Six Nations Championship (at a minimum, it seems to me that Six Nations should be capitalized a proper noun), but admittedly I'm not familiar with the topic at all, and step one was to take care of the cut-and-paste moves. — TKD::Talk 22:09, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi Stu, I'm considering running for adminship, but would like some users' view on this. You may or may not know who I am, but I'm quite a quiet editor, who gets about the "job" with little fuss. I wasn't sure who to ask about my potential being a candidate, as I've not really got any "wikifriends", but I seem to have overlapped with you on more than one occassion, and you seem pretty respected here. Would now be a good time to run - I think I have had enough edits and enough experience with AFD and the like, but am worried that my lack of "user interaction" (and maybe my lack of Featured Articles) may cause a problem. Do you have any suggestions? Do you know me well enough to perhaps nominate me? If you do, let me know before the vote starts. How important is having an FA to running for adminship? Thanks, --Montchav 11:19, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

I noticed your one of the people that wished there to be a list of Japanese games online for Wikipedia which I tried to make for the Nintendo 64 a few months ago, but just like when they where added to the orginal List of Nintendo 64 games they are trying to delete the new page List of Japanese Nintendo 64 games here's a link Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Japanese Nintendo 64 games to the discussion, how about giving your view.

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Fuse (emulator), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((dated prod))
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add ((db-author)) to the top of Fuse (emulator).

The above article which you have contributed to has been nominted for deletion. Djln--Djln (talk) 00:46, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
It seems that you're the man for the keyboard layouts in SVG. If you have the time, could you provide an image for the Maltese QWERTY layout? It was introduced in Windows XP SP2. Microsoft have it explained here: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/keyboards/kbdmlt47.htm (hover on Shift, AltGr etc to see their effects), while noting that there is a mistake - " and @ are swapped, on a Maltese layour Shift+2 gives " and Shift+' gives @. To note also that the decimal point is a comma which is completely stupid since a period is used in Malta! It is basically a UK (standard) layout with the following adjustments:
Keystroke | UK | MT |
---|---|---|
[ | [ | ġ |
Shift+[ | { | Ġ |
AltGr+[ | [ | |
AltGr+Shift+[ | { | |
] | ] | ħ |
Shift+] | } | Ħ |
AltGr+] | ] | |
AltGr+Shift+] | } | |
` | ` | ċ |
Shift+` | ¬ | Ċ |
AltGr+` | ¦ | ` |
AltGr+Shift+` | ¬ | |
\ | \ | ż |

What software did you use to create all those SVG files? Just curious. --Isaac R (talk) 18:26, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi,
As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.
We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.
You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.
We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!
