Just a headsup, that I changed the external link to a reference here. -- GraemeL (talk) 22:52, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
That's a better way of doing it. The site is listed in the reference URLs (the Lyngemark one) at the end of the article but everyone tends to call it Lyngsat. Jmccormac ( talk) 23:21, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
Why in the world would you remove the {{ Reflist}} template?? Debresser ( talk) 13:53, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
Slight overkill. I was removing link spam at the time and I must have removed it by accident. A spammer had hit a lot of the satellite related pages around 1241 today. Jmccormac ( talk) 15:03, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
Hi there, I notice you undid my removal of links. I had removed two of three links to sites maintained by Waterford County Council and one of two links to Waterford County Museum. The other one was to the Catholic Diocese of Waterford and Lismore. While it could be argued that the Invest in Waterford link might be worth keeping, I can't see a justification for the others? What do you think? Nelson50 T 11:26, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on List of domain name registrars. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Me-123567-Me ( talk) 14:50, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
Hey, first of all, why are you on purposely destroying my productive work and “flag” as “spam” which is nothing more than an insult on another person in your case. Second, what makes you an expert on these topics?
If the majority of all other ccTLD domain hacks given on a particular page show good examples, why don’t you allow Armenia to give some precise samples as well (it used to before). Do you have a problem with that country or are you just trying to annoy other people for self-satisfied fun? AND if you you do not like 1 out of 3 corrected procedures on one particular page, don't mark all of the work as spam (at the same time) if you disagree with just one sample (out of 3 edits) but mis-judge the other 2. Your corr-work is extremely biased and inconsistent. Peace! Racingfanq 22:50, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
You have removed few samples of domain hacks from .gs. Many ccTLD pages have "hack" sections. For many of them, for instance, .ly or .me that is a bragging point. Domain hacks are part of the game, why would you remove them? Disclaimer: blo.gs, hu.gs, thedo.gs - are all popular sites, not owned by me. Wikipidyst ( talk) 4:30, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
Please do not call my edits "persistent vandalism" unless you are ready to report me and ask for page protection. You must provide a source for text added to an article and my removal of your unsourced opinion is NOT vandalism. — danhash ( talk) 15:50, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi Jmccormac,
I'm part of a team that is researching ways to help Wikipedia editors find interesting content to contribute to Wikipedia. More specifically, we are investigating whether content from news sources can be used to enhance Wikipedia editing. We have created a tool, called wikiFeed, that allows you to specify Twitter and/or RSS feeds from news sources that are interesting to you. wikiFeed then helps you make connections between those feeds and Wikipedia articles. We believe that using this tool may be a lot of fun, and may help you come up with some ideas on how to contribute to Wikipedia in ways that interest you. Please participate! To do so, complete this survey and follow this link to our website. Once you're there, click the "create an account" link to get started.
For more information about wikiFeed, visit our project page. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask via my talk page, or by email at wikifeedcc@gmail.com. We appreciate your time and hope you enjoy playing with wikiFeed!
Thanks! RachulAdmas ( talk) 21:37, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

I reverted your edit the Pirate decryption article and added an explanation. There is a limit to the number of possible receivers due to the latency of the network (the time taken for the data from the server to travel to the receiver) and the period between the updated keys. If the latency is greater than the period between the updated keys, the receiver/decoder will miss a key and the signal may become encoded again. With large cable ISP networks, it may work well but on high-latency connections, it will not be as effective. Still though, it is not bad for a hack that's over twenty years old. Jmccormac ( talk) 12:02, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
No. There are limitations. The card client has to receive the decryption key with in a specific timeframe or the decoder stops decrypting the signal. If the latency is an issue because if it is high, then the card client might miss a key. Therefore it works better on networks where the card server and the card client are on the same ISP or are, in network terms, close. This can localise the card sharing networks. Naturally it works well on larger ISPs but even then, the number of clients on a card sharing network will be limited by another factor - the probability of detection. If the number of clients on a card sharing network grows too large, then the probability of that network being detected increases. Thus it is far more effective for anyone operating a card sharing network to maintain limited numbers per card server as it reduces the risk of detection and, should it be detected, the time it would take to recover from the detection. I am familiar with this hack and the issues surrounding its effectiveness. Jmccormac ( talk) 00:54, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Qxukhgiels. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Satellite television without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. read the sources and you will see that the text in the article has been significantly modified from that of the sources Qxukhgiels ( talk) 22:38, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for adding better sources at Satellite television- in case you haven't already figured out, when it comes to STV in the US, I do not have access to some of the better sources. But I noticed in some edits such as [1] [2] [3] you removed some content and references in the article without explaining why in the edit summary. If you remove a reference, please replace it with a better one. Having not explained your changes, your edits look rather pointy. Also, please use proper citation templates for references. Qxukhgiels ( talk) 18:52, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Looking at this page, notice the long list of articles in other languages (left side of page). This strongly suggests the series is airing in other countries/languages. This would also suggest the controversy about O'Brien's history has followed him around the world. Which would suggest there are probably non-English reliable sources that discuss the controversy. Are you familiar with using Google's "site:.br" to narrow a search to a country-code (Brazil in this case), and Google Translate? It will take some time and work but I suspect a fishing expedition might come up with good results. -- Green C 20:22, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
Jmccormac. I wanted to post here to encourage you to keep in mind Wikipedia's policies about civility. Wikipedia needs to be an open space for thoughtful discussion, which requires focusing on the content, not the editors. I brought this up in particular because of your comment about a "random Wikipedia editor quibbling" which is obviously targeted at a specific editor and is demeaning in tone. We need to show fellow editors respect and participate in a calm and civil manner, even on controversial issues. I've posted a similar message on Wink's Talk page. Just something to keep in mind, please. CorporateM ( Talk) 19:42, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
While there's no explicit rule against it, it's generally not helpful to pounce on every comment made by another editor you disagree with, especially when so many of the comments are essentially the same thing and are often long or perpetuate bickering. It would be best to let each editor speak their mind, just as you are allowed to speak yours. In some cases, consensus may go your way, and in others it won't, but yelling at everyone over and over actually diminishes, not increases, your chances of getting your way and is just more rude and disruptive than I think you may have realized. I'd encourage you to be patient, give other editors' time to chime in, and allow people to speak their mind without being pounced on. There's no need to get the last word in. Generally it's best practice to give editors a week to register their viewpoint, knowing that many editors are only available to contribute during a certain day they have off work.

You have reverted my edit of Domain name registrar. The registration, renewal and transfer prices are major pivots of the business, yet not discussed in the article. On contrary, links to DomainTools.com etc are present in the Registrar rankings section. So why not Registra.rs which is the biggest data provider in this field? The service is well known in the industry dnw.com. Would you please kindly agree that the edit has a merit and can be put back? Thank you. Landain ( talk) 12:44, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
For someone with an obvious passion for this topic, I'm surprised that you didn't comment in the VPP discussion which grew out of a thread that involved you and two other users. The non-consensus there was about 2/3 in favour of removing "piracy". Would you like me to make another one?
In any case, the two articles you just reverted contain 9 instances of "piracy" between them. If you are interested in finding a middle ground, it might be good to rank them according to how immutable you think the choice of words is in each case. E.g. the speech might be a case in which any change of wording reduces the information conveyed. I can't imagine that the "anti-piracy" speech shied away from saying "piracy". The line about FACT's mission to "combat all forms of piracy" seems to be a different sort of line where it can be said equally well in another way. You can't tell me that it doesn't combat copyright infringement... copyright is in the organization's name! Connor Behan ( talk) 06:12, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi, you reverted me at .com. I found the trivia interesting, but want to discuss the more general issue of your edit summary.
"The W3techs data is based on the Alexa top 10 million websites list" yes, thought so, not familiar with "Tranco 1 million list", but that's I guess not too important. "rather than .com." Surveys are commonly done, and good ones need to sample randomly, something like 3000 cases. I suppose it could be done, but I couldn't do it ( WP:OR?) and I don't know of such stats available so I just don't want to dismiss W3tech; also for other reasons, e.g. for stats at UTF-8. Top 10 million sites seems plenty. Is your argument there's a bias? I suppose there could be (unlikely?), but I believe most stats, we seemingly allow so far, have such a problem. "Approx 71% of .com websites are on US hosting." How would you know, and do you have it backwards? W3Techs has 70.3% of US hosting being .com domains (plausible and close enough to your number), but 54.4% of .com being hosted by US. That would be a rather large error... Still I'm only arguing the ranking, and German next at 9.3% is a far enough gap that even a large bias would be ok; and then Turkey at 4.2%. "misses large language groups like Chinese", W3Techs track Chinese. Is it just your argument it should rank higher? I could see that, given China has the largest population, or simply they don't have to many .com domains. They do have .cn and and e.g. com.cn and actually also ".中国 (China in simplified Chinese characters, DNS name xn--fiqs8s) and .中國". It's just very plausible they have no interest in .com. Why Turkey however... your guess is as good as mine, .com cheap, and their .tr maybe not or censored or whatever? comp.arch ( talk) 22:56, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
Hello! I wanted to follow up regarding one of my edits you recently reverted. I am relatively new to Wikipedia and still need to learn a lot about proper referencing. The edit I made on 06.21.2022 does not seem to be going against the guidelines I found on WP:RS. The website I referenced produces original content and seems to specialize in the exact subject discussed in the "Web scraping" article, so I considered it to be an authoritative source. In contrast, among other sources in the said article you can also find content from Medium which is a 'free for all' platform, accepting user-generated content with no moderation. Despite seemingly going against Wikipedia's guidelines, this source has not been removed by anyone. I'd be very thankful if you could elaborate further on the edit you made, so I could be certain about all the proper referencing criteria in the future. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kkaimee ( talk • contribs) 13:25, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on List of domain name registrars. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Me-123567-Me ( talk) 14:50, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
Hey, first of all, why are you on purposely destroying my productive work and “flag” as “spam” which is nothing more than an insult on another person in your case. Second, what makes you an expert on these topics?
If the majority of all other ccTLD domain hacks given on a particular page show good examples, why don’t you allow Armenia to give some precise samples as well (it used to before). Do you have a problem with that country or are you just trying to annoy other people for self-satisfied fun? AND if you you do not like 1 out of 3 corrected procedures on one particular page, don't mark all of the work as spam (at the same time) if you disagree with just one sample (out of 3 edits) but mis-judge the other 2. Your corr-work is extremely biased and inconsistent. Peace! Racingfanq 22:50, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi Jmccormac,
I'm part of a team that is researching ways to help Wikipedia editors find interesting content to contribute to Wikipedia. More specifically, we are investigating whether content from news sources can be used to enhance Wikipedia editing. We have created a tool, called wikiFeed, that allows you to specify Twitter and/or RSS feeds from news sources that are interesting to you. wikiFeed then helps you make connections between those feeds and Wikipedia articles. We believe that using this tool may be a lot of fun, and may help you come up with some ideas on how to contribute to Wikipedia in ways that interest you. Please participate! To do so, complete this survey and follow this link to our website. Once you're there, click the "create an account" link to get started.
For more information about wikiFeed, visit our project page. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask via my talk page, or by email at wikifeedcc@gmail.com. We appreciate your time and hope you enjoy playing with wikiFeed!

Hey Jmccormac, why did you undo my edit? It was a minor edit that did not and will not affect the page in any way shape or form. I'm going to undo what you did and I hope you don't ruin it for me, please. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shrtin ( talk • contribs) 09:00, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

I reverted your edit the Pirate decryption article and added an explanation. There is a limit to the number of possible receivers due to the latency of the network (the time taken for the data from the server to travel to the receiver) and the period between the updated keys. If the latency is greater than the period between the updated keys, the receiver/decoder will miss a key and the signal may become encoded again. With large cable ISP networks, it may work well but on high-latency connections, it will not be as effective. Still though, it is not bad for a hack that's over twenty years old. Jmccormac ( talk) 12:02, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
No. There are limitations. The card client has to receive the decryption key with in a specific timeframe or the decoder stops decrypting the signal. If the latency is an issue because if it is high, then the card client might miss a key. Therefore it works better on networks where the card server and the card client are on the same ISP or are, in network terms, close. This can localise the card sharing networks. Naturally it works well on larger ISPs but even then, the number of clients on a card sharing network will be limited by another factor - the probability of detection. If the number of clients on a card sharing network grows too large, then the probability of that network being detected increases. Thus it is far more effective for anyone operating a card sharing network to maintain limited numbers per card server as it reduces the risk of detection and, should it be detected, the time it would take to recover from the detection. I am familiar with this hack and the issues surrounding its effectiveness. Jmccormac ( talk) 00:54, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Qxukhgiels. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Satellite television without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. read the sources and you will see that the text in the article has been significantly modified from that of the sources Qxukhgiels ( talk) 22:38, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for adding better sources at Satellite television- in case you haven't already figured out, when it comes to STV in the US, I do not have access to some of the better sources. But I noticed in some edits such as [1] [2] [3] you removed some content and references in the article without explaining why in the edit summary. If you remove a reference, please replace it with a better one. Having not explained your changes, your edits look rather pointy. Also, please use proper citation templates for references. Qxukhgiels ( talk) 18:52, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Looking at this page, notice the long list of articles in other languages (left side of page). This strongly suggests the series is airing in other countries/languages. This would also suggest the controversy about O'Brien's history has followed him around the world. Which would suggest there are probably non-English reliable sources that discuss the controversy. Are you familiar with using Google's "site:.br" to narrow a search to a country-code (Brazil in this case), and Google Translate? It will take some time and work but I suspect a fishing expedition might come up with good results. -- Green C 20:22, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
Jmccormac. I wanted to post here to encourage you to keep in mind Wikipedia's policies about civility. Wikipedia needs to be an open space for thoughtful discussion, which requires focusing on the content, not the editors. I brought this up in particular because of your comment about a "random Wikipedia editor quibbling" which is obviously targeted at a specific editor and is demeaning in tone. We need to show fellow editors respect and participate in a calm and civil manner, even on controversial issues. I've posted a similar message on Wink's Talk page. Just something to keep in mind, please. CorporateM ( Talk) 19:42, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
While there's no explicit rule against it, it's generally not helpful to pounce on every comment made by another editor you disagree with, especially when so many of the comments are essentially the same thing and are often long or perpetuate bickering. It would be best to let each editor speak their mind, just as you are allowed to speak yours. In some cases, consensus may go your way, and in others it won't, but yelling at everyone over and over actually diminishes, not increases, your chances of getting your way and is just more rude and disruptive than I think you may have realized. I'd encourage you to be patient, give other editors' time to chime in, and allow people to speak their mind without being pounced on. There's no need to get the last word in. Generally it's best practice to give editors a week to register their viewpoint, knowing that many editors are only available to contribute during a certain day they have off work.

"Big Ugly Dish" has "always" been mostly to those who do not like looking at them. Various owners and other proponents OTOH consider them "Big Useful Dish" and "Big Utilitarian Dish".

You have reverted my edit of Domain name registrar. The registration, renewal and transfer prices are major pivots of the business, yet not discussed in the article. On contrary, links to DomainTools.com etc are present in the Registrar rankings section. So why not Registra.rs which is the biggest data provider in this field? The service is well known in the industry dnw.com. Would you please kindly agree that the edit has a merit and can be put back? Thank you. Landain ( talk) 12:44, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
For someone with an obvious passion for this topic, I'm surprised that you didn't comment in the VPP discussion which grew out of a thread that involved you and two other users. The non-consensus there was about 2/3 in favour of removing "piracy". Would you like me to make another one?
In any case, the two articles you just reverted contain 9 instances of "piracy" between them. If you are interested in finding a middle ground, it might be good to rank them according to how immutable you think the choice of words is in each case. E.g. the speech might be a case in which any change of wording reduces the information conveyed. I can't imagine that the "anti-piracy" speech shied away from saying "piracy". The line about FACT's mission to "combat all forms of piracy" seems to be a different sort of line where it can be said equally well in another way. You can't tell me that it doesn't combat copyright infringement... copyright is in the organization's name! Connor Behan ( talk) 06:12, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi,
If the statement "hooli.xyz, from the television series Silicon Valley,[11] is a parody website on the domain." is not an advert then what is it? Its a simple promotion of the site hooli.xyz just because it has a .xyz domain.

Hi, you reverted me at .com. I found the trivia interesting, but want to discuss the more general issue of your edit summary.
"The W3techs data is based on the Alexa top 10 million websites list" yes, thought so, not familiar with "Tranco 1 million list", but that's I guess not too important. "rather than .com." Surveys are commonly done, and good ones need to sample randomly, something like 3000 cases. I suppose it could be done, but I couldn't do it ( WP:OR?) and I don't know of such stats available so I just don't want to dismiss W3tech; also for other reasons, e.g. for stats at UTF-8. Top 10 million sites seems plenty. Is your argument there's a bias? I suppose there could be (unlikely?), but I believe most stats, we seemingly allow so far, have such a problem. "Approx 71% of .com websites are on US hosting." How would you know, and do you have it backwards? W3Techs has 70.3% of US hosting being .com domains (plausible and close enough to your number), but 54.4% of .com being hosted by US. That would be a rather large error... Still I'm only arguing the ranking, and German next at 9.3% is a far enough gap that even a large bias would be ok; and then Turkey at 4.2%. "misses large language groups like Chinese", W3Techs track Chinese. Is it just your argument it should rank higher? I could see that, given China has the largest population, or simply they don't have to many .com domains. They do have .cn and and e.g. com.cn and actually also ".中国 (China in simplified Chinese characters, DNS name xn--fiqs8s) and .中國". It's just very plausible they have no interest in .com. Why Turkey however... your guess is as good as mine, .com cheap, and their .tr maybe not or censored or whatever? comp.arch ( talk) 22:56, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
Hello! I wanted to follow up regarding one of my edits you recently reverted. I am relatively new to Wikipedia and still need to learn a lot about proper referencing. The edit I made on 06.21.2022 does not seem to be going against the guidelines I found on WP:RS. The website I referenced produces original content and seems to specialize in the exact subject discussed in the "Web scraping" article, so I considered it to be an authoritative source. In contrast, among other sources in the said article you can also find content from Medium which is a 'free for all' platform, accepting user-generated content with no moderation. Despite seemingly going against Wikipedia's guidelines, this source has not been removed by anyone. I'd be very thankful if you could elaborate further on the edit you made, so I could be certain about all the proper referencing criteria in the future. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kkaimee ( talk • contribs) 13:25, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
