Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Maxthon, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Hi FleetCommand! I changed the company name from "Maxthon International" to "Maxthon Asia" because the latest version of Maxthon marks itself as "Maxthon Asia" (download Maxthon, check UAC prompt or the "About" dialog). I have experience in Spanish Wikipedia ( es:Usuario:Fitoschido) but if I infringed some normative, please let me know . Greetings! -- Fitoschido ( talk) 07:30, 13 February 2011 (UTC) reply
Well, www.maxthon.com says "Maxthon International". That's my source. Where is yours? Fleet Command ( talk) 07:57, 13 February 2011 (UTC) reply
I already mentioned my source, the application (download it and check UAC prompt, it indicates the certificate's name. Anyway, I'll ask in the Maxthon forums for the correct name. Thanks! -- Fitoschido ( talk) 08:37, 13 February 2011 (UTC) reply
EDIT: Check http://www.maxthon.com/privacy
Wow! It seems Maxthon cannot identify itself consistently and that means trouble. Now, I won't bother you if you change it back to "Maxthon Asia", but I can't guarantee that others also won't as well. I say leave it alone. If Maxthon cannot identify itself consistently, its not our business. We should write the identification information in the web page from which we quote, not some identification that is buried deep within a (probably outdated) policy page.

Quotation marks

Hi. I noticed that you use curly quotation marks. Per WP:Manual of Style#Quotation marks.5BR.5D, straight are preferred. I reverted your edit to WP:Merge and delete. Thanks. Flatscan ( talk) 04:36, 7 May 2011 (UTC) reply

After I left this note, I found WP:Manual of Style/Register#Quotation marks, which says that there is no consensus between straight and curly. Flatscan ( talk) 04:21, 9 May 2011 (UTC) reply
Yeah, no problem, and thanks for the link. I prefer curly ones, I'm used to enter them by pressing Alt Gr+V to and Alt Gr+B to (LA layout, Ubuntu), because of rules on Spanish Wikipedia. Greetings! — Fitoschido // Leave me a shout! 04:43, 9 May 2011 (UTC) reply

Cannae (band)

Hello, in one of your recent edits you noted that Cannae has received "media attention." Can you link me to some of those pages? I actually requested that article be undeleted (because I thought that Prosthetic was a large enough label to be notable, but after discussion, it appears not), and searched google to satisfy WP:GNG, but turned up dry.

Sorry for late response. Well, I found various links to various metal sites that mention this band, I’ll add them as refs in the article. The band is known, I hope expand the article soon Fitoschido [shout] \\ 26 June, 2011 [21:24]

Thanks for nominating this article for AFD. As I explain in my comment in the AFD, I have done a bunch of work on this article but it still doesn't make WP:GNG, so I was going to nominate it for AFD anyway, you just beat me to it! I just had a look though the other component articles for LibreOffice and OpenOffice.org and most of them have no third party refs. I did some tagging for now. I think that the creator of this article and WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS do add up to one point: if this article gets deleted then we should have a closer look at the other component articles for both LibreOffice and OpenOffice.org and perhaps nominate most of them for deletion as well. I was going to wait until this AFD had been concluded, but perhaps you have some thoughts on that subject? - Ahunt ( talk) 12:52, 9 September 2011 (UTC) reply

I agree in waiting until AfD gets closed to nominate the other articles. — Fitoschido [shout track] \\ 11 September, 2011 [13:30]
Since this one has been flagged for "rescue" and at least one editor claims there are lots of refs available (but hasn't actually added any), I agree. Let's see how this one turns out. - Ahunt ( talk) 13:59, 11 September 2011 (UTC) reply

Hi.
Actually, my business is Wikipedia-related. (But thanks for letting me know that you are affiliated.)
So, here is the deal: I recently read an article that said a lot of Windows 8 features come from Ubuntu. I wanted to see whether it is suitable to cite in Wikipedia or it is pure sensational journalism. Do you have any comment, argument or counter-argument on that?
Best regards,
Codename Lisa ( talk) 07:30, 14 August 2012 (UTC) reply
Okey-dokey: my view is that the article is not completely down-to-earth, and rather controversial, because it accuses Microsoft on borrowing behaviors without factual evidence. OK, you can argue that “Windows-to-Go” is somewhat equivalent to Linux’s Live CDs/USBs, the file copy dialog is now similar to Nautilus’ or Dolphin’s, etc... but Windows 8’s feaures and services are different from those found in Ubuntu or other Linuxen. The ITWorld article even says that the Metro UI —or whatever it’s called now— takes inspiration on Gnome and Ubuntu UI designs, which I fail to see —is that view based solely because the icons are bigger now?—. The only direct “feature copies” might be the file copy dialog —even when it does not borrow Ubuntu’s behavior completely— and the Ubuntu One vs. SkyDrive thing. I don’t have an opinion on ReFS/ Btrfs, because I don’t have experience on file systems. — Fitoschido [shout track] @ 15 August, 2012; 16:34
Thanks a bunch. That should give me enough leads. With you counter-arguments and these the complementary counter-arguments about USB 3.0 support, ReFS and file copy dialog box, I think this matter is effectively concluded as "not for Wikipedia". Best regards, Codename Lisa ( talk) 19:06, 15 August 2012 (UTC) reply
Yep. I may add that MS “copying” these from Linux is quite extreme. These are natural ideas, and both the implementation and the behavior of the new features in W8 are different. It’s like the ridiculous suings of Apple vs. Samsung. — Fitoschido [shout track] @ 15 August, 2012; 22:13

Canaima

Hi! I am removing multiple issues copy edit|date=May 2013 notability|Products|date=May 2013 from Canaima_(operating_system), leaving advert|date=May 2013, as I believe the article is much improved. I am open for different opinions, of course, and have started a section in that Talk page. Thank you! YamaPlos talk 17:56, 25 November 2013 (UTC) reply

Python image broken link

Yes, I only saw the broken link after I reverted it. I was just reinstating the removal when I edit conflicted with you. In future, add a comment as to why you were removing something as important as that so other editors don't enter the undo/redo cycle. The bigger problem is that the wikicommons file appears to be broken or missing, so just sorting that out now. peterl ( talk) 00:13, 26 August 2014 (UTC) reply

Help me please

Could you possibly review these articles Cabin (font) Lato (font) Irregularis? Are there any major differences between them and my suggested articles Eyadish or Sherbrooke?

Thank you so much for your highly appreciated cooperation.

dd

Hi.

I was wondering if you could help me reviewing two edits about dd, the GNU command.

  1. An edit in "List of disk cloning software" article has struck the sourced author claim and added AT&T as the developer. Is it a valid edit?
  2. Comparison of disk cloning software marks dd as capable of performing sector-by-sector disk cloning but unable to operate on file level. Is that correct?

Thanks in advance.

Capitalization of foreign-language works of art

Per WP:NCCAPS#Works of art, titles of foreign-language works of art are to utilize capitalizations found on English-language reliable sources, not its native capitalization. This applies to titles of foreign-language recordings as well. Erick ( talk) 02:26, 8 July 2015 (UTC) reply

@ Magiciandude: Sigh... Insane. Well, can you at least fix your reversals? In case you didn't notice, I also fixed the use of diacritics.

Footbinding

While you edits on Foot binding is appreciated, a number of people have raised concerns that putting it as part of the series on Violence Against Women is unnecessarily pushing a POV, It is the reason it was moved down so that it would not be so prominent (and it may even be removed), and I had intended to expand the section on interpretation to include various opinions later to address the issue. I will make adjustment later to take account of your other edits, but for now, if you wish to contribute to the discussion, please do, but for now leave that as it is until there are further contributions.
