This is the talk page for User:W163 (Jeff Ogden).
As you might have noticed, I went ahead and put her article in the DYK queue. I thought you were looking for another reviewer so I also made some edits. I see you already caught the confusion with the dates in the lead. I tried yet again to reword and hope it is less ambiguous (NIC was at SRI until 1991 but she was not, of course). Also tried to fix up some of the linked articles that are pretty bad still. More tomorrow if we have time. Thanks W Nowicki ( talk) 04:27, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
On 19 April 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Elizabeth J. Feinler, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Elizabeth J. Feinler (pictured), better known as "Jake", ran the Network Information Center of the Internet until 1989? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

To User:W163 for his improvements to Wikipedia's coverage of Internet censorship, particularly at Internet censorship in Thailand. Khazar ( talk) 03:05, 30 May 2011 (UTC) |
Thank you very much for updating Press Freedom Index with the 2013 data, great work! ThomasStrohmann ( talk) 04:37, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
I saw you put up a link for this one and noticed you're expanding it. I don't know to what degree you might be interested in including this, but illegal Internet use is one of the primary charges on which Burmese democratic activists are being locked up (see 88 Generation Students Group, Nilar Thein, etc.), a practice that's gotten coverage in the BBC, NY Times, etc. (see these articles for links). It might be worth working in some of these specific cases, but though I read your Thailand one, I'm not sure what the precedent is for how these articles are usually structured. Anyway, thanks as always for your excellent expansions. Khazar ( talk) 17:01, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
Please solve this mystery if you can...
On September 23rd, traffic to Portal:James Bond doubled, and has stayed at the new level since then. I can't figure out what happened.
See http://stats.grok.se/en/201109/Portal%3AJames_Bond
Traffic to Outline of James Bond stayed the same (though it was at the higher-level already), which leads me to suspect changes made somewhere in Wikipedia.
See http://stats.grok.se/en/201109/Outline%20of%20James_Bond
I'd like to find out what happened, in case it reveals helpful link placement tips that can double the traffic to outlines too!
I look forward to your reply. The Transhumanist 23:54, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
I've cleaned up the outline a bit, and have further developed its structure. Please take a look to see if you can improve it even more. All feedback, ideas, and advice welcome. Cheers. The Transhumanist 22:44, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

hi, i may be doing something wrong here since im new to editing things on wiki so please help me understand why you keep deleting my contribution to the article "Internet censorship in Syria " and where i am going wrong there? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xlantraymon ( talk • contribs) 15:06, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
In a recent edit to the page nternet censorship in Australia, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.
For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author used.
In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. Bidgee ( talk) 17:33, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi, that IP that puts citation needed templates on the article has been doing the same thing on numerous other articles that were ALL critical, or in opposition to, the Vietnamese communist regime, to try to doubt the content that was already there in hopes that the content would be deleted by other users. In fact, that IP has been up to severe ongoing vandalism on numerous articles on South Vietnam by calling various people " closeted homosexuals", "Catholic pigs" and other ridiculous nonsense, as well as blanking content critical of Viet communists, like in the Ho Chi Minh and North Vietnam articles. For a few days now, most edits that this IP did were adding citation needed templates everywhere on content that they didn't like, but the content that they put the templates on were all true, and often substantiated and sourced, info. So, if this IP, and any other IPs that begin with the same first 5 or so digits, that were to put such templates on such articles, like this internet censorship article, it would just be more vandalism and disruption, and it would all come from the same person since the 4 IPs that were engaged in the same type of vandalism all began with the same first 5 digits, all supposedly from Los Angeles through AT&T. If these templates were added, appropriately, fairly and as needed, by someone else, I wouldn't have removed it. Nguyen1310 ( talk) 21:41, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
Would you please considering returning to Talk:Criticism of Google#Cleanup tag and answering the questions I raised there?

You said that my comment about the possible first public user was interesting but needed a citation. My post (which was, I think obviously, about me) is based on first person knowledge. I intentionally included some of the detail, and the interesting information, to enhance value and to add authenticity. I have been making the claim, for many years, that I was the "first user of the internet." For 20 years I have done so as with a humorous slant. However, since no one has contradicted me during those 20 years, it appears to be a true statement.
HOWEVER, I am not familiar with Wiki rules and etiquite and I am interested in your thoughts about what "citation" would be necessary to allow the information to stand, pending any truly contrary data. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sbrower1 ( talk • contribs) 05:54, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

We use commonname in articles, in the lead and infoboxes. This isnt "having it both ways", but an arangement that has come from an Arb-Com ruling, to basically stop the edit wars on Irish related articles, and was amended by the project. There is an on-going discussion on categories, where an admin has asked for clarity on catergory usage. So its not straight forward for anyone not familar with it. The first two points of WP:IRE-IRL clearly indicate what should be used in the lead, and as for the link you summaried with "When the page title is used as the subject of the first sentence, it may appear in a slightly different form, and it may include variations".

hey W163 in the article Internet_protocol_suite you commented "the video explains "classfull" IP addresses, but we've been using "classless" IP addresses for over 20 years now". I am not sure if I understand you correctly. We are using Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing but IP adresses still come with a network class even though these networks might be divided into further subnets? How and where exactly do you see the need for an update? maybe you could give your feedback and thoughts on the talk page of the video on commons File:Classful-IPv4-networks.webm best -- Renepick ( talk) 00:38, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
Hello, I saw your note with an edit to Internet in Belgium. I had looked at the spreadsheet and didn't see number of users or a way to figure the ranking for number of users. I'm curious how you got the figure. Did you cross reference that table with population data for all the countries to find the number of Internet users in each country? That sounds like a ton of work - there must be a better way. I'm wondering how you came up with the 8.6 million figure. I just ran the question on Wolfram Alpha and it gives a figure of 9.1 million also with 82%, but it doesn't explain the source of their figures so I wouldn't call it a reliable source. Thanks for satisfying my curiosity, SchreiberBike talk 02:59, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

I suggest that if and when you apply {{
recently_revised}} to an article, that you go back and remove it after a two or three days. At that point it is no longer recent. It is the ordinary state of affairs that any article could benefit from improvement and attention, or has been recently edited, and as such, the {{
recently_revised}} template is actually superfluous.

hey, could you update your map to the newest report: http://rsf.org/index2014/en-index2014.php -- 80.53.5.108 ( talk) 23:21, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi Jeff. I was caught up in a family emergency and failed to realise that I hadn't left you a message regarding the above request.
Please don't put pressure on yourself to update the map. I'm simply toying a little with this 'contributor' as I've recognised them as being sock/s for a particularly persistent, blocked user. The same user, with multiple IP addresses, has also been recognised as being such by Favonian. His/her MO is written all over the entries, and their favourite method of bypassing being blocked is by delegating work to other editors & contributors.
While I recognise that the map should be updated, there has been absolutely no other regular contributor even interested in updating the info, much less feeling that an updated map is an absolute imperative. Before I can re-open the sock investigation, I just need a little more interaction in order to confirm it. There's already been 2 instances of calling me 'Irina'... another signature boo-boo he/she makes.
Cheers for your patience with me. -- Iryna Harpy ( talk) 06:03, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

I thought it looked awfully familiar, and sure enough I was able to track down my own print, along with negative, in my basement archives. I must've given a copy to Computing News for use at some point. In any case I figured you wouldn't mind if I substituted the larger and prettier version for the one you uploaded (and adjust copyright & permissions accordingly).

Hello, I'm Stesmo. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the main body of List of Internet exchange points. Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be internal Wikilinks. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Stesmo ( talk) 02:47, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
Let me draw your attention to a note on my misgivings pertaining to the present state of Wikipedia structure on this page:
The growth of the Internet has made it imperative to distinguish better between governance and regulation, more specifically, Internet governance and how it relates to the more traditional field of telecommunications regulation.
Even more particularly, I protest against deficits on pages like this:
"Regulation" is inadequately put here and here "Policy" is reduced to "Law",
Are you concerned with this lack? If so, please let me know. Seniorexpat ( talk) 20:27, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Internet censorship in the United States. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 ( talk) 20:45, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
