Hi Frodet, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions to the coolest online encyclopedia I know of =). I sure hope you stick around; we're always in need of more people to create new articles and improve the ones we already have. You'll probably find it easiest to start with a tutorial of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the sandbox. When you're contributing, you'll probably find the manual of style to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a couple important guidelines. First, write from a neutral point of view, second, be bold in editing pages, and third, use wikiquette. Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the policies and guidelines page. You might also be interested in how to write a great article and possibly adding some images to your articles.
Be sure to get involved in the community – you can contact me at my talk page if you have any questions, and you can check out the village pump, where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. If you're looking for something to do, check out the community portal. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing ~~~~.
Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing! -- Spangineer (háblame) 10:58, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
An Award | ||
For your contributions to the CotW focusing on Girl in September, 2005, I, Mamawrites, award you, Frodet, this THANK YOU. |
Could you please explain your removal of all my work in Floptica? All of the drives I added were definitely flopticals, and referred to as such. For instance, google "LS-120 floptical". You seem to think the content should not be in this article because the drive was called a Floptical, but considering there is no other article to put the content in, nor was that the official name of the product (it was I325), I can't think of any other place to put it.
Maury 13:45, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
I'm still a little confused about the history here. If I read it correctly, Jim left Shugart and started work on the floptical at Insite -- is that correct, or was Insite really a part of 3M at this point? Anyway they released their drive and a number of companies licensed it, including Iomega. Iomega gave up on their version and sold the technology back to 3M, who then released it as the LS-120 before spinning it off as Imation. Right? So then if this is basically correct, who are OR Technology and Caleb? They both appear to be related to the Iomega project as well. Maury 13:20, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
I've moved our exchange here over to Talk:3D_Monster_Maze#1981_vs_1982 for everyone to see and participate... -- BACbKA 09:06, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
I was wondering why you actively use & nbsp; in articles - notably before and after numbers? I'm not aware that there is such a typographics convention in English. I see that you recently updated 3D Monster Maze with one and the article also has many more previously added by you. In my oppinion & nbsp; can be used when there are specific textual elements which should be grouped together on one line, eg. formulas. For ordinary paragraph text & nbsp; should not be used since people have different sized screens, different resolution, read articles with different sized fonts (eg. visual impairment), etc. -- Frodet 19:42, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
No furhter readings off the top of my head. However, to strengthen the case with the number before the punctuation, just think how this can be visually perceived (incorrectly) as a beginning of a list item if starting a line! Before the comma it is less critical than before a period or a closing paren. BTW, you might be interested in the MoS talk on Uses of , —, etc?. -- BACbKA 21:21, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Hello and happy anniversary on your first year of contributions to Wikipedia! I noticed that you included Robert Cailliau into many categories. Although he deserves credit for his seminal work on the World Wide Web with Tim Berners-Lee, I don't believe he should be listed with Tim everywhere notable computer pioneers are mentioned. If you read his own comments on his page history, he would probably agree. This is why I'll take the liberty of removing some of the category listings you added. I believe that Wikipedia categories are more useful when they are very focused. Of course, they may eventually grow so large that we will need super-categories ;-) -- JFG 16:43, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
I've just noticed the italicised title you put into the 3DMAZE and Trashman articles. Thanks, I learnt smth new from the WP manual of style; before that, I somehow had been under impression that double emphasis was discouraged... -- BACbKA 11:00, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Yamaha-MDR1.png. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{ Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 20:27, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
I reverted back to the disambiguation page. Please think of the people who come to Wikipedia looking for information about the band. It is a very, very notable band, and the average user doesn't put umlauts in search engine windows. PT ( s-s-s-s) 19:10, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Hej, jag såg att du till slut gav upp din tappra kamp, rörande en viss lista, på diskussionsidan. Frågan är hur den sortens besserwissrar, mer intresserade av form än av innehåll, egentligen skall tacklas, vilka argument biter? Man blir ju lite orolig att han skall ge sig på fler artiklar!

Hello, Frodet! Thank you for reverting vandalism to Wikipedia, which you did in Tim Berners-Lee. After you revert, I would recommend also warning the users whose edits you revert on their talk pages with an appropriate template or custom message. This will serve to direct new users towards the sandbox, educate them about Wikipedia, and a stern warning to a vandal may prevent him or her from vandalizing again. Thanks! — ze ro » 13:14, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Did you know that there's a category "Wikipedians who use ZX Spectrum computers"? Judging by several of your edits, you might want to add yourself to this — although to be honest I don't think the current name is as good as the name "Spec-Chums" under which I created it. 193.122.47.170 20:52, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi there, thank you for your efforts in editing the above mentioned article. You also stated that you had removed the "==See also==" section because it was redundant and there was no relation to the other mags. Is there a Wikipedia rule stating that you can't list similar related articles? In this case, multi-format magazines. The "See also" section is merely a reference link, e.g. if you are interested in this article you may find the following, similar article(s), of interest. If you could let me know the Wikipedia ruling on this it would be appreciated. Thanks. Nreive 12:58, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Of course, I agree that the sub-cats should automatically be listed in the parent (if that's what you mean), but they're not. It's pretty clear from WP:SUBCAT#Secondary categorization rule that the entries in these subcats need to go in the parent cats too, because that's what it says (as I quoted). Other than that I don't know what to say really; I'm not attempting, and don't wish, to be difficult or disruptive with this, but it's a very silly situation for these categories to be in. Do you want another concensus thing on this? Cheers, Miremare 21:46, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
I will, of course, stop until an agreement is reached. Miremare 21:48, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Yamaha-MDR1.png. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell ( talk) ( random) 16:42, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
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 {{

Thanks for uploading File:SAM Coupé Defender.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

All 5¼ and 8 in FDs have the disk in a flexible plastic shell. The shell in turn was almost always in a cardboard sleeve when not in the drive. Some 3½ FD also came with a cardboard sleeve also not inserted into the drive. IMHO, the sleeve is irrelevant to the introductory sentence of the Floppy disk article. Sorry I didn't put this in the comments to my revert. Tom94022 ( talk) 22:22, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:SAM Coupé EFTPOTRM.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

The article The Lords (demogroup) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Hi! I saw your comment at /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/The_Lords_(demogroup) about the difficulty of finding information about them online, and wanted to point you to the series of articles Lord Insanity wrote for ZAT fanzine in the mid-90s covering the group's history - the final two instalments are preserved at World Of Spectrum:

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited DISCiPLE, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page KB. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
