Some thoughts post IRC:
1. Early Speech Systems " Please <pause> Adjust <pause>Dial <pause> One One Two Four, Operator
2. Vocoded Robot "This is the voice of a Wikipedia account which is not human! I edit by your instructions operator!" (think Cylon/ Davison Era Cyberman)
3. Formicadae "This is the voice of Primary One, We think that you should be hearing this..."
Arguably this has a LOT of buzz in it as insects would speak with their wings and a 'reed' like mouth motion. Vowel sounds are extended, and the inflexions present in speech may be slightly off.
Some insect speech would be slurred, so Primary One might to a casual observer sound slightly drunk, Also To get really good insect speech, you might need to do some more research as some can only 'sing' in a certain range. My intended example in this is probably a 'female' insect in the
4. 50's OTR Alien - Technically the effect here is that of an echo chamber and unusal intonation. Male OTR aliens seem to be deep voiced.. Male: " We are the gate-keepers, You as children have thought as inoccents, but time it has come for you to in maturity put aside that you as children shall hold in inoccence.."
5. OTR Fairie/Elf.
Not sure about female aliens/faries but a sample line might read
Female:" I am Primary of Three, I am of the trans-dimensional, and you are a welcome visitor to our viel on reality.
Another suggestions for source material would be Ariel's lines in The Tempest or Titania's in a Midsummer's Night Dream..

I know that this isn't related to your edits on Wikipedia, but have you picked up Chicago's new album yet? If not, I highly recommend that you do so! Dobbyelf62 ( talk) 13:01, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
Wow! I don't know where to start on this one, but I'll have a go at it. If you're really curious about the lack of sources, it wouldn't hurt asking. As of my username, yes, I'm a Harry Potter fan! Dobby also happens to be my favorite character from that series, so it only made sense to incorporate into my username in some way. I'm not sure how familiar you are with the character, but he's more of a comic relief. Unfortunately, they minimized his role signifigantly in the movies :( I have heard rumors that this will be Weird Al's album since his contract expired, so it's not likely that he'll get to release another album. Usually, celebrities distance themselves from Wikipedia as they claim it's unreliable. I'm not going to defend it and say it is, because it really isn't. Of course, I always consult Wikipedia first whenever I need information on a certain topic. I'm glad you were able to find a review of "Now". Your work won't go unnoticed. Keep up the good work!

Dear Smuckola, you messaged me some time back about the naming issue with Chicago XXXVI: Now and other matters. I haven't been on the site at all since then, but I did read and consider your message. Unfortunately a lot of times it just boils down to page-level consensus if there is a dispute. A lot of articles end up using the title most often used in RS, and then including a "sometimes stylized" phrase like we currently have in the XXXVI article. On pages where the dispute keeps emerging, I've seen FAQs put in to place. When the next inquiry comes in, usually from an editor unfamiliar with the history of the page, they can just be directed to the FAQ where you would list the various objections people have to the current title and your rebuttals to all of them. Of course, this requires a pretty strong consensus for the existing title, otherwise you'll never get the FAQ done! -- Spike Wilbury ( talk) 19:32, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
Hi! In response to your email, I have to say I was rather surprised myself to learn that Nintendo had made public the details about "Project Reality" that early on.

Hey,
If there's a long legacy of defiant and uncooperative stuff, that is a case for WP:ANI. I couldn't spot any prior ANI cases on this fellow after a quick search, although there was a Request for Comment from 2013 about pretty much the same issue we're discussing here. If three years of regular editors begging and pleading him to improve his contributions haven't caused a positive change, nothing will—and that's when it's high time for ANI to step in.
You seem to have several prior encounters with this editor, so I'm surprised you haven't gone this route already. Rest assured if you did, I would chime in with my two cents. And if you won't, then I just might.

Hello Smuckola. As you're the one who did the reverts, I'll ask you to back them up with fact. You state the part is not based on the MOS 65xx design. You also state the Nintendo S-SMP wiki article does not say it is. For the latter, here is the text from the wiki article:
"The Sony SPC700 is the S-SMP's integrated 8-bit processing core manufactured by Sony with an instruction set similar to that of the MOS Technology 6502 (as used in the Commodore 1541 diskette drive and the Vic 20, Apple II, BBC Micro and in modified form in the original NES)." AND "The SPC700 instruction set is quite similar to that of the 6502 microprocessor family, but includes additional instructions, including XCN (eXChange Nibble), which swaps the upper and lower 4-bit portions of the 8-bit accumulator, and an 8-by-8-to-16-bit multiply instruction."
This should even state, "VERY similar". As for the former, I'm certainly not the only person who has worked on coding for the part, either on the original h/w or in the emulation world. It's a 65xx down to 90% of the same op-code set. A quick web search shows others talking about this: https://forums.nesdev.com/viewtopic.php?t=10986&p=125236
Sure, Sony changed the naming of the opcodes (LDx => MOV x, etc.) and the decode table, but the chip functions the same at the core. Cycles per opcode, interrupt processing, status register.
So, please let me know where your expertise to refute (and revert) this comes from. Thanks, we're both working to make these articles & templates complete & correct. 71.236.191.197 ( talk) 12:19, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
I found a full page article on the 64DD in the December 1996 issue of Next Generation. Unfortunately, I don't know what to do with the info within - for instance, some of the specs don't match up with what's listed in Wikipedia, and I'm not sure what to make of the discrepancy (an error on either Wikipedia or Next Gen's part? a change in the specs prior to release? none of the above?). Since you've been working on the 64DD subject I hope you might have a better idea what to do with this. Here's a link to the archive dot org scan of the article.-- Martin IIIa ( talk) 01:59, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
Hey there. Given my interest in Robin Williams, I'm thinking if we should join forces to get the article up for a potential GA (and eventually an FA), using Phil Hartman and Katharine Hepburn, both FAs, as possible models. Eventually, if the Williams article does go to FA, it can be featured as a TFA on either July 21 (the 67th anniversary of his birth) or August 11 (the 4th anniversary of his death). However, I think this article may need to have a look at some issues such as date formats and so forth. Also, one of my concerns on the article is that the biography and career sections might look a bit disjointed in different places; those may have to be organized chronologically by years. Can you please let me know what your thoughts are about this? Thanks, Lord Sjones23 ( talk - contributions) 06:25, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi Smuckola. Normally I don't spend too much time concerning myself about article class ratings, but in the case of SimTunes, I really don't see this as being anything more than a stub. Aside from just visually looking like a stub, it fails both the objective measurements at WP:STUB (less than 250 words and 1500 characters) and the suggested Croughton-London rule of stubs. Furthermore, comparing it to WP:VG's example for a stub versus a start, I think it's clear that, by the project's standards, this article should be considered a stub. Thoughts?

for an edit (as you recently did at Masonic Temple (Salina, Kansas)) I usually go to their user page to find out who they are. I have several reactions to my visit to yours. (1) Looking at your articles created I discover a lot of percussionists, leading me to wonder if you are one, because I am, and (2) the one that really got me to write to you is that you have committed one of what I consider to be the most grievous of writing faults, you have used the same interesting word not only twice in a paragraph, but twice in the same sentence. English is a wonderful language offering those who use it numerous choices of words, so I strongly urge you to consider changing the second “blatant” in the sentence to “flagrant” or something else.

I just ran into this statement from Shigeru Miyamoto in the March 1997 issue of GamePro: "It would be fun to have four people make one robot walk. Each player would be in charge of one limb, so that the timing of all the players must be in sync in order to, say, make the robot jump."

In a sort of "Dream Team" vein, I found an interesting tidbit about Electronic Arts' involvement with the Nintendo 64 in the June 1997 issue of Next Generation, page 19. I've already added it to FIFA Soccer 64, but I wasn't sure if it was significant enough to be of use in any other article, so I figured I'd pass it on to you.-- Martin IIIa ( talk) 23:56, 24 September 2018 (UTC) ...also, they have more on the subject on page 30 of the same magazine, under the headline "Friends at Last".-- Martin IIIa ( talk) 01:39, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
Unfortunately I can't find a link to scans of it, but on the same page as the EGM article I just added as a citation to 64DD, there's an article called "SingleTrac Joins 'Dream Team'". The relevance should be obvious from that title. :) -- Martin IIIa ( talk) 19:43, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
Hello! Quiddity relayed to me a question you posted in the WikiCite IRC Channel (which I was not monitoring), I hope you'll find the WikiCite project interesting. It's an initiative aiming to create a structured repository of sources in Wikidata. We're aiming to create a rich, collaboratively curated database of bibliographic metadata, including everything that's cited in Wikipedia, but also to support many other use cases. The goal is not to replace Citation templates and references: we're currently looking at ways in which we can curate bibliographic metadata in a centralized way, as a precondition for making reference management in Wikimedia projects suck less. The annual report we published last year should give you a sense of where the community is going, and we have the next annual event (WikiCite 2018) coming up in 10 days. Last but not least, there's a mailing list ( wikicite-discuss) you can join if you want to learn more about the project or bring up any question or concern. -- DarTar ( talk) 00:36, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi Smuckola, hopefully you saw my email about my amendments to the IFS page. If not, by way of introduction, I'm a registered clinical psychologist who has worked in University research settings and over the last 3 years been trained in IFS. I wanted to add some solid research to this page, particularly under the section of clinical application of IFS, as this section is not backed up by peer-reviewed, controlled, evidence-based research.
I appreciate you requiring a higher standard of encyclopedic prose. The reason why I used more casual language was because one of the criticisms of the page, in Talk, was "This article uses language that is rather esoteric and difficult to understand."
You remind me of a Professor that I published a number of peer-reviewed papers with who always pushed me to a higher standard of academia.
With my amendment, I probably sacrificed academic clarity for brevity, as I said I'm new to WP and I'm trying to balance scientific speak with lay accessibility.
What do you think about the following rewrite under the heading of Depression?

Hello Smuckola,
Following your suggestion I'm trying to put up a Reliable sources List for WP: Apple and iOS task force.I have a few questions:
1- Wiki sources must be verifiable ( WP:Verifiability and WP:Reliable_sources). Do websites that require log in to provide information qualify? As an example, www.appannie.com provides information about app rank history, i.e. one can check if an app reached the top sales for a given country. However it requires an account (free) to provide the data. Does it qualify as a verifiable source? BTW: it is my opinion that it should qualify and there are precedents: Most scientific publications require log in to paid website to retrieve the paper (e.g https://www.elsevier.com/ or https://www.sciencedirect.com/) What is your view?
2- When it comes to Reliable sources for iOS apps, I've found out that these are usually divided in three major groups: games, education, and everything else. Do you think I should include sources for iOS games? Or is this in the scope of WP: Video_games?
3- I'm considering adding a "Guidelines" section to the iOS task force... may need an hand. I'll let you know once the draft is ready.

Back in October I desided I wanted to create a montage of images of different astronomical images. (Kinda how major cities like New York City and Los Angeles have more than one image. Only problem, I didn't know how to do it. I just added a single image of the Milky Way instead ( /info/en/?search=Special:MobileDiff/862346980) It's still there, and now I am getting ready to add that montage after waiting for the right time. I got inspired from the Ecology page and I used the plane "infobox" like Ecology. I have everything ready, just one thing. The image aren't close to each other. Here's what I have.

Hey, how's it going? I'm still keeping an eye out for Nintendo 64 stuff, but haven't come across anything major lately, mostly because the past couple of months I've been mainly going through issues of Sega Saturn Magazine (which naturally makes practically zero mention of Nintendo 64). I have procured a copy of Electronic Gaming Monthly number 100, which doesn't seem to have scans online anywhere. If you're interested in me scanning any Nintendo 64 stuff from EGM 100 for you, let me know.
But of course I'm mainly posting to ask you a question. :) Do you know anything about San Francisco Rush: Extreme Racing, particularly the "Alcatraz Edition" and the Nintendo 64 port? The preview I'm reading in Next Generation and the unsourced information in the WP article differ concerning the number of tracks included in each version.-- Martin IIIa ( talk) 23:20, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
Well, there's an article in GamePro 108 about Nintendo reducing the wholesale prices for N64 cartridges, theoretically allowing the retail prices of third party games to drop about $5. I couldn't think of a place on WP where that would be notable enough to include, but maybe you can, or at least find it interesting. I'm going off of an actual physical copy of the magazine, but I found a scan of the page here. There's some 64DD stuff under "News Bits" too.-- Martin IIIa ( talk) 16:58, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
Here's an interesting tidbit from EGM 100: "In other sports news, an unnamed Silicon Valley developer is working on a basketball game for the N64. Originally the game was to have the very expensive Michael Jordan license on it. ... The game is reportedly hotter than hot, and is nearly complete but there's only one problem. You see, the game was planned to be published by BMG Interactive and now that the group is no longer around, the developer is shopping the game around in a major way." The N64 has enough basketball games that even with all those clues (plus the magazine's cover date, November 1997) I'm having a hard time narrowing down which game they're talking about, and of course there's the possibility that it ended up never getting released. Any idea which game this is?-- Martin IIIa ( talk) 17:02, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

The January 1998 issue of EGM has an article on the 64DD. I couldn't immediately see anything useful for WP in it, as it's basically an opinion piece supplemented with some basic facts that we already have sourced, but I thought at the least you'd find it interesting. I found a scan here.-- Martin IIIa ( talk) 14:41, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
I found another 64DD-related article in the February 1998 issue (egad, in over two years I've only advanced a single month through my stack of magazines?) of Next Generation. Scan on Wayback Machine here. Some interesting points in there but I couldn't see any good way of integrating any of it into Wikipedia's 64DD article; thought you might have better luck since you've had a bigger role in making the article what it is today. No worries if not.-- Martin IIIa ( talk) 17:33, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
Hello! A while back we did a sort-of collab on Radar Scope, which became a GA. I was wondering you'd be up to doing another one with me? I was thinking of bringing Tetris 64 for the Nintendo 64 to GA, as I find it to be one of the most unique takes on the Russian puzzle game (specifically for the Bio Sensor, what a weird gadget that is....). I notice that you often edit articles related to the N64, so I thought this would be of some interest to you. Lemme know if you're up for this! Namcokid 47 (Contribs) 03:10, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi Smuckola. Saw your Retro Motivation section on your talk page. Resonates. I did quite a bit of work on Telengard and some on The Bard's Tale and The Bard's Tale II, among others. I'm about to bring a play-by-mail game article that started in the 1980s (still going) called Hyborian War set in Conan's Hyborian Age to the Featured Article nomination page in about a week. I saw that you're a member of Wikiproject Role Playing Games, so if you review Featured Articles, please consider reviewing it. I'm a bit concerned that it will sit unreviewed given that it's a niche (retro) topic. Thanks for your time. Airborne84 ( talk) 07:00, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
That French piece sounds similar to this column. I don't know if that's a case of independently coming up with the same ideas - including the comparison to how Apple uses UNIX - or one copying from the other.
I'm not sure, but both seem to think that "ARM" means "CPU core designed by ARM" and to imply that the A-series SoCs use cores designed by ARM. They haven't done so since the A5 - the A6 has an Apple-designed core, has have all the subsequent A-series SoCs. They implement the "A" (application processor) profiles of v7 and v8 versions of the ARM architecture, for which Apple has an architectural license, but the processor designs are from Apple, not ARM.
But I guess the point they're making is that there's a lot of stuff outside the CPU core that's designed by Apple and isn't just implementing an ARM-designed instruction set. True, but "we can not therefore say that Apple "switches to ARM"", from the Google translation of the French article, is bogus - the new processors implement a different instruction set, which affects developers, so, yeah, among other things, they are switching from x86-64 to ARM64. Guy Harris ( talk) 20:23, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
The first instruction set transition was from the 6502 to the 68000 family (although, to be fair, that wasn't transitioning an existing line to a new ISA, it was introducing a new line with a new ISA), so extra credit for this edit. Guy Harris ( talk) 00:07, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello User:Smuckola. I see you made some edits to the Silicon Valley Community Foundation article last year. I work for the organization and therefore have a COI relationship and can’t perform direct edits. I wanted to ask your thoughts on helping to improve the article layout. I’ve been reading the Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Layout and see that the way the article is currently set up with many short sections may not be in compliance with the section on layout. I am interested in improving the article overall and wonder if you would have time and interest in helping with this type of format clean up?
Reference for this request: “Very short sections and subsections clutter an article with headings and inhibit the flow of the prose. Short paragraphs and single sentences generally do not warrant their own subheading.”
Thank you for your consideration. Best ChauSVCF ( talk) 22:39, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
Can you explain this edit? You wrote "It needs to lose the sassy conversation with the reader, and the arbitrary magazine style formatting such as holding"
I have no idea what "such as holding" means. What do you mean by "holding"?
Your changing "that is" to "thus" made the article less clear. It should say, not that a logical consequence of the irrationality of π is that π is not a quotient of integers, but rather that its inexpressibility as a ratio of integers is precisely, by the very definition of "irrational number", what it means to say that π is irrational.
And now the big issue: What is the least bit essay-like or sassy about this article? Is this just a resurgence of that old Wikipedia affliction of some users going around indiscriminately labeling as "essays" every article in which a standard figure of speech using the pronoun "we" in a non-literal sense?

Hi Smuckola, I'm archiving the two blocking requests and have spent about 2-3 hours to analyze the concerns in the third complaint. I'm afraid that I'm not a suitable recipient for this type of messages, as they mainly lead to time investment for justifying to decline taking action, which I could instead invest in actually taking action where it's needed.

Hello Smuckola. I got the paragraphs of text for the Venaco page from the French version: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venaco, as the article suggested one could use that version. I was going to add in the notes and citations as well, re-format the text so it was proper but had not yet. Perhaps unless one can write aspects of the French version down completely in one go, including the pictures, citations and notes, rather than trying part after part, correcting as one goes, it is not worth the effort.

Hey, how are you doing? I haven't run across much good Nintendo 64 info lately, although I did have some interesting fun researching reception for Quake 64. After the critics rightfully slammed the Saturn version of Quake (the Saturn is one of my three all-time favorite consoles, but ultimately all that port proved is that the Saturn was not designed to run a game like Quake), I was expecting them to give Quake 64 credit for at least having a multiplayer mode. Instead, apart from IGN saying they wished Quake 64 had the Saturn version's real-time light sourcing, they didn't make any comparison to the Saturn version at all, though they were noticeably more positive about Quake 64 than Saturn Quake.
I was wondering if you could tell me how the discussion at Talk:Nintendo 64 about the Nintendo 64's main competitors turned out. I basically did a WikiProject Video Games summon to that discussion and then silently checked out of it because I suddenly realized I didn't have the patience for it. I felt bad for doing that, but I just can't run the risk of a vein in my forehead bursting. :( Martin IIIa ( talk) 21:58, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for taking a look at this! Feels like the comments I'd get in a good GA review or FAC. I did revert one item where I felt your changes had introduced word ambiguity that the source didn't cover. I've also done KSMO-TV (already approved at GA) and improved KSHB-TV and KCTV.
I also removed |url-access=
from the citations, and I might as well explain why. That would make sense if the link pointed to a subscription-only resource, but the links all point to clipped Newspapers.com articles which can be freely viewed. (Frankly, any source link to Newspapers.com on the encyclopedia should be clipped for this reason alone, and I've held up pages at DYK and GAN so that gets done.) By the way, if you're an active editor, you can get access to Newspapers.com through
the Wikipedia Library. I was pointed in that direction more than four years ago, and it has been indispensable for the articles I write, particularly because the site has expanded its holdings so much in that time.

The template properly belongs in an external links section. It has contained external links within it to display the results of the KML in external mapping sites, and it will likely do so again in the future. The template itself isn't an internal link within Wikipedia, so it doesn't belong in a see also section. (Should external links not return to it, its utility to Wikipedia will have ended, and it should be deleted wholesale along with the KML files.) Imzadi 1979 → 06:01, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
Hello, I just wanna say many thanks for what you did on Haiku (operating system). While a lot of info has been lost, at the end of the day it was necessary because indeed there was a ton of OR, trivia, 'crystal ball' and unreferenced stuff. It took someone bold like you to make a change like this after this article has turned into a mess for so many years. (the Haiku article was literally like the real-life Copland project!)
I must say there is only one thing I disagree with, which is your removal of the Version History table. Every OS or software article seems to have a version history table which means there's a consensus to have it for this topic. I would personally wanna see it reinstated.
Anyway, this article will need to be build back up with well-referenced, non-trivial/crystal ball info. I'll take a stab at improving it I hope. Flakeƨosa ( talk) 18:53, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
Just to let you know, I've sorta completed a newer, better well-referenced/notable Haiku article without the mess that it was before. I've removed the References Needed hatnote since I believe I've satisfied it for the most part now. Also, the only thing I've restored from before is the Version History table as I personally think it should be there. But anyway it's great to see the article in a much better encyclopedic state now. -- Flakeƨosa ( talk) 23:21, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
Hi,
A few days ago, you commented under my talk page for the purpose of reminding me not to use original research in any capacity, and offered help by redirecting me towards WP:Library. I'm not sure where to ask for sources there, however, because the research desk seems to have died upon inception. Could you point me towards release info for both the US and UK for Lufia II that doesn't contain original research? (US) Usenet forums are stating August 6, corroborated by this second source, is the release date, and not May 1996, like the current page suggests. Venky64 ( talk) 23:06, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello Smuckola, regarding your reversion of the table on Overland Park. There are literally 1000s of articles where the census information is presented with a table - some with prose, some without as tables are pretty much self-explanatory (and there are even editors removing all prose prior to 2020 as dated). The table at hand allows us to easily compare 2020 to prior years and measure the shift in the racial/Hispanic population over time. otherwise, one would have to read the prose for 2020, jump to the prose for 2010, and then jump to the prose for 2000. Kansas City, Missouri#Demographics has a table. Are you saying that it should be removed as well? Cheers Patapsco913 ( talk) 01:15, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, Smuckola, for ensuring that articles are consistent with the verifiability policy and reliable sources guideline by vetting content additions for original research and other unencyclopedic material.

Hi Smuckola, thank you for removing improperly sourced content from the Apple community article and for defending your edits with policy-based reasoning. I also want to apologize for not responding sooner. Your edits have brought the article one step closer to Wikipedia's standards, and I don't want to give you the impression that your work is unappreciated. On the contrary, when I look through your contributions and see your reports on the vandalism noticeboard, it's clear that your time and effort on Wikipedia have improved many articles to the benefit of a large number of readers.
I do want to clarify that, per the policy against taking involved administrative actions, I cannot block any editor that I am in a content dispute with unless the situation is sufficiently obvious (e.g. blatant vandalism), and even then, the recommendation is for me to use a noticeboard to request action from an uninvolved administrator. Also, while Jimthing was edit warring on the Apple community article, they did not violate the three-revert rule on that article because multiple reverts performed within contiguous edits only count as a single revert.
Responding to your comment at Talk:Apple community § ScreenCastsOnline, I will take some time to review the rest of the content on the Apple community article and post any points of discussion on the talk page. Thanks again. — Newslinger talk 07:53, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
Ok so, I have messaged you this since I want this dispute to end and if you can figure this out, i'd be very happy.
How did the Croat–Bosniak War end? Was it because of a Bosnian victory or because it ended by the Washington Agreement? I am saying this because two users are disputing about how the war ended (I'm not naming). I personally think the agreement ended the war, but one person says it is a Bosnian victory due to the agreement, while another says the agreement purely ended it.
If you could message me back and tell me your opinion, that'd be great. If a talk page discussion should be added, let me know.

Some thoughts post IRC:
1. Early Speech Systems " Please <pause> Adjust <pause>Dial <pause> One One Two Four, Operator
2. Vocoded Robot "This is the voice of a Wikipedia account which is not human! I edit by your instructions operator!" (think Cylon/ Davison Era Cyberman)
3. Formicadae "This is the voice of Primary One, We think that you should be hearing this..."
Arguably this has a LOT of buzz in it as insects would speak with their wings and a 'reed' like mouth motion. Vowel sounds are extended, and the inflexions present in speech may be slightly off.
Some insect speech would be slurred, so Primary One might to a casual observer sound slightly drunk, Also To get really good insect speech, you might need to do some more research as some can only 'sing' in a certain range. My intended example in this is probably a 'female' insect in the
4. 50's OTR Alien - Technically the effect here is that of an echo chamber and unusal intonation. Male OTR aliens seem to be deep voiced.. Male: " We are the gate-keepers, You as children have thought as inoccents, but time it has come for you to in maturity put aside that you as children shall hold in inoccence.."
5. OTR Fairie/Elf.
Not sure about female aliens/faries but a sample line might read
Female:" I am Primary of Three, I am of the trans-dimensional, and you are a welcome visitor to our viel on reality.
Another suggestions for source material would be Ariel's lines in The Tempest or Titania's in a Midsummer's Night Dream..

I know that this isn't related to your edits on Wikipedia, but have you picked up Chicago's new album yet? If not, I highly recommend that you do so! Dobbyelf62 ( talk) 13:01, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
Wow! I don't know where to start on this one, but I'll have a go at it. If you're really curious about the lack of sources, it wouldn't hurt asking. As of my username, yes, I'm a Harry Potter fan! Dobby also happens to be my favorite character from that series, so it only made sense to incorporate into my username in some way. I'm not sure how familiar you are with the character, but he's more of a comic relief. Unfortunately, they minimized his role signifigantly in the movies :( I have heard rumors that this will be Weird Al's album since his contract expired, so it's not likely that he'll get to release another album. Usually, celebrities distance themselves from Wikipedia as they claim it's unreliable. I'm not going to defend it and say it is, because it really isn't. Of course, I always consult Wikipedia first whenever I need information on a certain topic. I'm glad you were able to find a review of "Now". Your work won't go unnoticed. Keep up the good work!

Dear Smuckola, you messaged me some time back about the naming issue with Chicago XXXVI: Now and other matters. I haven't been on the site at all since then, but I did read and consider your message. Unfortunately a lot of times it just boils down to page-level consensus if there is a dispute. A lot of articles end up using the title most often used in RS, and then including a "sometimes stylized" phrase like we currently have in the XXXVI article. On pages where the dispute keeps emerging, I've seen FAQs put in to place. When the next inquiry comes in, usually from an editor unfamiliar with the history of the page, they can just be directed to the FAQ where you would list the various objections people have to the current title and your rebuttals to all of them. Of course, this requires a pretty strong consensus for the existing title, otherwise you'll never get the FAQ done! -- Spike Wilbury ( talk) 19:32, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
Hi! In response to your email, I have to say I was rather surprised myself to learn that Nintendo had made public the details about "Project Reality" that early on. I've uploaded a scan of the source here.

You're right, and I usually do. But that's a pretty bad article and I think fails WP:EL as it really doesn't add anything, while I think the Skeptics.dict article does.

Thanks for the efforts on the Stone of Sisyphus article. It looks pretty darned good right now. I have that 1993 VHS tape and I've about worn it to the nub over the years. I actually saw them at Pine Knob outside Detroit that year and they played "The Pull"; I believe it was a regular part of their set for that whole tour.

Hi Smuckola, I've had your "History of Nintendo's online strategies" page on my watchlist for ages now... It's a very interesting read and it seems quite well sourced. If you don't mind me asking, why haven't you brought it into mainspace yet? - Thibbs ( talk) 02:24, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
Hey,
If there's a long legacy of defiant and uncooperative stuff, that is a case for WP:ANI. I couldn't spot any prior ANI cases on this fellow after a quick search, although there was a Request for Comment from 2013 about pretty much the same issue we're discussing here. If three years of regular editors begging and pleading him to improve his contributions haven't caused a positive change, nothing will—and that's when it's high time for ANI to step in.
You seem to have several prior encounters with this editor, so I'm surprised you haven't gone this route already. Rest assured if you did, I would chime in with my two cents. And if you won't, then I just might.

Hello Smuckola. As you're the one who did the reverts, I'll ask you to back them up with fact. You state the part is not based on the MOS 65xx design. You also state the Nintendo S-SMP wiki article does not say it is. For the latter, here is the text from the wiki article:
"The Sony SPC700 is the S-SMP's integrated 8-bit processing core manufactured by Sony with an instruction set similar to that of the MOS Technology 6502 (as used in the Commodore 1541 diskette drive and the Vic 20, Apple II, BBC Micro and in modified form in the original NES)." AND "The SPC700 instruction set is quite similar to that of the 6502 microprocessor family, but includes additional instructions, including XCN (eXChange Nibble), which swaps the upper and lower 4-bit portions of the 8-bit accumulator, and an 8-by-8-to-16-bit multiply instruction."
This should even state, "VERY similar". As for the former, I'm certainly not the only person who has worked on coding for the part, either on the original h/w or in the emulation world. It's a 65xx down to 90% of the same op-code set. A quick web search shows others talking about this: https://forums.nesdev.com/viewtopic.php?t=10986&p=125236
Sure, Sony changed the naming of the opcodes (LDx => MOV x, etc.) and the decode table, but the chip functions the same at the core. Cycles per opcode, interrupt processing, status register.
So, please let me know where your expertise to refute (and revert) this comes from. Thanks, we're both working to make these articles & templates complete & correct. 71.236.191.197 ( talk) 12:19, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
I found a full page article on the 64DD in the December 1996 issue of Next Generation. Unfortunately, I don't know what to do with the info within - for instance, some of the specs don't match up with what's listed in Wikipedia, and I'm not sure what to make of the discrepancy (an error on either Wikipedia or Next Gen's part? a change in the specs prior to release? none of the above?). Since you've been working on the 64DD subject I hope you might have a better idea what to do with this. Here's a link to the archive dot org scan of the article.-- Martin IIIa ( talk) 01:59, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
Hey there. Given my interest in Robin Williams, I'm thinking if we should join forces to get the article up for a potential GA (and eventually an FA), using Phil Hartman and Katharine Hepburn, both FAs, as possible models. Eventually, if the Williams article does go to FA, it can be featured as a TFA on either July 21 (the 67th anniversary of his birth) or August 11 (the 4th anniversary of his death). However, I think this article may need to have a look at some issues such as date formats and so forth. Also, one of my concerns on the article is that the biography and career sections might look a bit disjointed in different places; those may have to be organized chronologically by years. Can you please let me know what your thoughts are about this? Thanks, Lord Sjones23 ( talk - contributions) 06:25, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi Smuckola. Normally I don't spend too much time concerning myself about article class ratings, but in the case of SimTunes, I really don't see this as being anything more than a stub. Aside from just visually looking like a stub, it fails both the objective measurements at WP:STUB (less than 250 words and 1500 characters) and the suggested Croughton-London rule of stubs. Furthermore, comparing it to WP:VG's example for a stub versus a start, I think it's clear that, by the project's standards, this article should be considered a stub. Thoughts?

for an edit (as you recently did at Masonic Temple (Salina, Kansas)) I usually go to their user page to find out who they are. I have several reactions to my visit to yours. (1) Looking at your articles created I discover a lot of percussionists, leading me to wonder if you are one, because I am, and (2) the one that really got me to write to you is that you have committed one of what I consider to be the most grievous of writing faults, you have used the same interesting word not only twice in a paragraph, but twice in the same sentence. English is a wonderful language offering those who use it numerous choices of words, so I strongly urge you to consider changing the second “blatant” in the sentence to “flagrant” or something else.

I just ran into this statement from Shigeru Miyamoto in the March 1997 issue of GamePro: "It would be fun to have four people make one robot walk. Each player would be in charge of one limb, so that the timing of all the players must be in sync in order to, say, make the robot jump." Do you know if this idea ever turned into an actual game (with a corresponding Wikipedia article that I could add this quote to)?-- Martin IIIa ( talk) 01:37, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

In a sort of "Dream Team" vein, I found an interesting tidbit about Electronic Arts' involvement with the Nintendo 64 in the June 1997 issue of Next Generation, page 19. I've already added it to FIFA Soccer 64, but I wasn't sure if it was significant enough to be of use in any other article, so I figured I'd pass it on to you.-- Martin IIIa ( talk) 23:56, 24 September 2018 (UTC) ...also, they have more on the subject on page 30 of the same magazine, under the headline "Friends at Last".-- Martin IIIa ( talk) 01:39, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
Unfortunately I can't find a link to scans of it, but on the same page as the EGM article I just added as a citation to 64DD, there's an article called "SingleTrac Joins 'Dream Team'". The relevance should be obvious from that title. :) -- Martin IIIa ( talk) 19:43, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
Hello! Quiddity relayed to me a question you posted in the WikiCite IRC Channel (which I was not monitoring), I hope you'll find the WikiCite project interesting. It's an initiative aiming to create a structured repository of sources in Wikidata. We're aiming to create a rich, collaboratively curated database of bibliographic metadata, including everything that's cited in Wikipedia, but also to support many other use cases. The goal is not to replace Citation templates and references: we're currently looking at ways in which we can curate bibliographic metadata in a centralized way, as a precondition for making reference management in Wikimedia projects suck less. The annual report we published last year should give you a sense of where the community is going, and we have the next annual event (WikiCite 2018) coming up in 10 days. Last but not least, there's a mailing list ( wikicite-discuss) you can join if you want to learn more about the project or bring up any question or concern. -- DarTar ( talk) 00:36, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi Smuckola, hopefully you saw my email about my amendments to the IFS page. If not, by way of introduction, I'm a registered clinical psychologist who has worked in University research settings and over the last 3 years been trained in IFS. I wanted to add some solid research to this page, particularly under the section of clinical application of IFS, as this section is not backed up by peer-reviewed, controlled, evidence-based research.
I appreciate you requiring a higher standard of encyclopedic prose. The reason why I used more casual language was because one of the criticisms of the page, in Talk, was "This article uses language that is rather esoteric and difficult to understand."
You remind me of a Professor that I published a number of peer-reviewed papers with who always pushed me to a higher standard of academia.
With my amendment, I probably sacrificed academic clarity for brevity, as I said I'm new to WP and I'm trying to balance scientific speak with lay accessibility.
What do you think about the following rewrite under the heading of Depression?

Hello Smuckola,
Following your suggestion I'm trying to put up a Reliable sources List for WP: Apple and iOS task force.I have a few questions:
1- Wiki sources must be verifiable ( WP:Verifiability and WP:Reliable_sources). Do websites that require log in to provide information qualify? As an example, www.appannie.com provides information about app rank history, i.e. one can check if an app reached the top sales for a given country. However it requires an account (free) to provide the data. Does it qualify as a verifiable source? BTW: it is my opinion that it should qualify and there are precedents: Most scientific publications require log in to paid website to retrieve the paper (e.g https://www.elsevier.com/ or https://www.sciencedirect.com/) What is your view?
2- When it comes to Reliable sources for iOS apps, I've found out that these are usually divided in three major groups: games, education, and everything else. Do you think I should include sources for iOS games? Or is this in the scope of WP: Video_games?
3- I'm considering adding a "Guidelines" section to the iOS task force... may need an hand. I'll let you know once the draft is ready.

Back in October I desided I wanted to create a montage of images of different astronomical images. (Kinda how major cities like New York City and Los Angeles have more than one image. Only problem, I didn't know how to do it. I just added a single image of the Milky Way instead ( /info/en/?search=Special:MobileDiff/862346980) It's still there, and now I am getting ready to add that montage after waiting for the right time. I got inspired from the Ecology page and I used the plane "infobox" like Ecology. I have everything ready, just one thing. The image aren't close to each other. Here's what I have.

Hey, how's it going? I'm still keeping an eye out for Nintendo 64 stuff, but haven't come across anything major lately, mostly because the past couple of months I've been mainly going through issues of Sega Saturn Magazine (which naturally makes practically zero mention of Nintendo 64). I have procured a copy of Electronic Gaming Monthly number 100, which doesn't seem to have scans online anywhere. If you're interested in me scanning any Nintendo 64 stuff from EGM 100 for you, let me know.
But of course I'm mainly posting to ask you a question. :) Do you know anything about San Francisco Rush: Extreme Racing, particularly the "Alcatraz Edition" and the Nintendo 64 port? The preview I'm reading in Next Generation and the unsourced information in the WP article differ concerning the number of tracks included in each version.-- Martin IIIa ( talk) 23:20, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
Well, there's an article in GamePro 108 about Nintendo reducing the wholesale prices for N64 cartridges, theoretically allowing the retail prices of third party games to drop about $5. I couldn't think of a place on WP where that would be notable enough to include, but maybe you can, or at least find it interesting. I'm going off of an actual physical copy of the magazine, but I found a scan of the page here. There's some 64DD stuff under "News Bits" too.-- Martin IIIa ( talk) 16:58, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
Here's an interesting tidbit from EGM 100: "In other sports news, an unnamed Silicon Valley developer is working on a basketball game for the N64. Originally the game was to have the very expensive Michael Jordan license on it. ... The game is reportedly hotter than hot, and is nearly complete but there's only one problem. You see, the game was planned to be published by BMG Interactive and now that the group is no longer around, the developer is shopping the game around in a major way." The N64 has enough basketball games that even with all those clues (plus the magazine's cover date, November 1997) I'm having a hard time narrowing down which game they're talking about, and of course there's the possibility that it ended up never getting released. Any idea which game this is?-- Martin IIIa ( talk) 17:02, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

The January 1998 issue of EGM has an article on the 64DD.

I found a scan here.-- Martin IIIa ( talk) 14:41, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
I found another 64DD-related article in the February 1998 issue (egad, in over two years I've only advanced a single month through my stack of magazines?) of Next Generation. Scan on Wayback Machine here. Some interesting points in there but I couldn't see any good way of integrating any of it into Wikipedia's 64DD article; thought you might have better luck since you've had a bigger role in making the article what it is today. No worries if not.-- Martin IIIa ( talk) 17:33, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
Hello! A while back we did a sort-of collab on Radar Scope, which became a GA. I was wondering you'd be up to doing another one with me? I was thinking of bringing Tetris 64 for the Nintendo 64 to GA, as I find it to be one of the most unique takes on the Russian puzzle game (specifically for the Bio Sensor, what a weird gadget that is....). I notice that you often edit articles related to the N64, so I thought this would be of some interest to you. Lemme know if you're up for this! Namcokid 47 (Contribs) 03:10, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi Smuckola. Saw your Retro Motivation section on your talk page. Resonates. I did quite a bit of work on Telengard and some on The Bard's Tale and The Bard's Tale II, among others. I'm about to bring a play-by-mail game article that started in the 1980s (still going) called Hyborian War set in Conan's Hyborian Age to the Featured Article nomination page in about a week. I saw that you're a member of Wikiproject Role Playing Games, so if you review Featured Articles, please consider reviewing it. I'm a bit concerned that it will sit unreviewed given that it's a niche (retro) topic. Thanks for your time. Airborne84 ( talk) 07:00, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
That French piece sounds similar to this column. I don't know if that's a case of independently coming up with the same ideas - including the comparison to how Apple uses UNIX - or one copying from the other.
I'm not sure, but both seem to think that "ARM" means "CPU core designed by ARM" and to imply that the A-series SoCs use cores designed by ARM. They haven't done so since the A5 - the A6 has an Apple-designed core, has have all the subsequent A-series SoCs. They implement the "A" (application processor) profiles of v7 and v8 versions of the ARM architecture, for which Apple has an architectural license, but the processor designs are from Apple, not ARM.
But I guess the point they're making is that there's a lot of stuff outside the CPU core that's designed by Apple and isn't just implementing an ARM-designed instruction set. True, but "we can not therefore say that Apple "switches to ARM"", from the Google translation of the French article, is bogus - the new processors implement a different instruction set, which affects developers, so, yeah, among other things, they are switching from x86-64 to ARM64. Guy Harris ( talk) 20:23, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
The first instruction set transition was from the 6502 to the 68000 family (although, to be fair, that wasn't transitioning an existing line to a new ISA, it was introducing a new line with a new ISA), so extra credit for this edit. Guy Harris ( talk) 00:07, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello User:Smuckola. I see you made some edits to the Silicon Valley Community Foundation article last year. I work for the organization and therefore have a COI relationship and can’t perform direct edits. I wanted to ask your thoughts on helping to improve the article layout. I’ve been reading the Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Layout and see that the way the article is currently set up with many short sections may not be in compliance with the section on layout. I am interested in improving the article overall and wonder if you would have time and interest in helping with this type of format clean up?
Reference for this request: “Very short sections and subsections clutter an article with headings and inhibit the flow of the prose. Short paragraphs and single sentences generally do not warrant their own subheading.”
Thank you for your consideration. Best ChauSVCF ( talk) 22:39, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
Can you explain this edit? You wrote "It needs to lose the sassy conversation with the reader, and the arbitrary magazine style formatting such as holding"
I have no idea what "such as holding" means. What do you mean by "holding"?
Your changing "that is" to "thus" made the article less clear. It should say, not that a logical consequence of the irrationality of π is that π is not a quotient of integers, but rather that its inexpressibility as a ratio of integers is precisely, by the very definition of "irrational number", what it means to say that π is irrational.
And now the big issue: What is the least bit essay-like or sassy about this article? Is this just a resurgence of that old Wikipedia affliction of some users going around indiscriminately labeling as "essays" every article in which a standard figure of speech using the pronoun "we" in a non-literal sense?

Smuckola ( talk · contribs) Look, I'm honestly not trying to bother anybody, but can you explain to me what it is I'm doing wrong? None of my recent edits were in bad faith and the vast majority were already sourced within the articles; I don't see why I have to be blocked over something so minor? Thanks, DaveTheBrave ( talk) 20:13, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello, Smuckola.
I've seen you editing recently and you seem like an experienced Wikipedia editor. |

Hi Smuckola, I'm archiving the two blocking requests and have spent about 2-3 hours to analyze the concerns in the third complaint. I'm afraid that I'm not a suitable recipient for this type of messages, as they mainly lead to time investment for justifying to decline taking action, which I could instead invest in actually taking action where it's needed. If there are further concerns about conflicts I have no involvement in and no relation to, please voice them at WP:ANI instead of my talk page. Thanks and all the best, ~ ToBeFree ( talk) 19:57, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
Hello Smuckola. I got the paragraphs of text for the Venaco page from the French version: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venaco, as the article suggested one could use that version. I was going to add in the notes and citations as well, re-format the text so it was proper but had not yet. Perhaps unless one can write aspects of the French version down completely in one go, including the pictures, citations and notes, rather than trying part after part, correcting as one goes, it is not worth the effort.

Was you thanking me for this edit a reminder? If so, don't worry, I haven't forgotten, so you don't need to worry about it (if you do at all). I've just been too busy recently to sit down and work on Wikipedia recently. Panini! • 🥪 17:22, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for copyediting Dendy (console)! It was a big deal for me to write the original Russian article, and Betakiller helped me to translate it. What do you think, is it possible for the current article to pass the Good Article nomination? Sleeps-Darkly ( talk) 02:37, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Hey, how are you doing? I haven't run across much good Nintendo 64 info lately, although I did have some interesting fun researching reception for Quake 64. After the critics rightfully slammed the Saturn version of Quake (the Saturn is one of my three all-time favorite consoles, but ultimately all that port proved is that the Saturn was not designed to run a game like Quake), I was expecting them to give Quake 64 credit for at least having a multiplayer mode. Instead, apart from IGN saying they wished Quake 64 had the Saturn version's real-time light sourcing, they didn't make any comparison to the Saturn version at all, though they were noticeably more positive about Quake 64 than Saturn Quake.
I was wondering if you could tell me how the discussion at Talk:Nintendo 64 about the Nintendo 64's main competitors turned out. I basically did a WikiProject Video Games summon to that discussion and then silently checked out of it because I suddenly realized I didn't have the patience for it. I felt bad for doing that, but I just can't run the risk of a vein in my forehead bursting. :( Martin IIIa ( talk) 21:58, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
Anything on how that discussion turned out? It's okay if you don't want to tell me; I'm just hoping for some sort of reply to confirm that my question was heard, so to speak.-- Martin IIIa ( talk) 13:57, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for taking a look at this! Feels like the comments I'd get in a good GA review or FAC. I did revert one item where I felt your changes had introduced word ambiguity that the source didn't cover. I've also done KSMO-TV (already approved at GA) and improved KSHB-TV and KCTV.
I also removed |url-access=
from the citations, and I might as well explain why. That would make sense if the link pointed to a subscription-only resource, but the links all point to clipped Newspapers.com articles which can be freely viewed. (Frankly, any source link to Newspapers.com on the encyclopedia should be clipped for this reason alone, and I've held up pages at DYK and GAN so that gets done.) By the way, if you're an active editor, you can get access to Newspapers.com through
the Wikipedia Library. I was pointed in that direction more than four years ago, and it has been indispensable for the articles I write, particularly because the site has expanded its holdings so much in that time.

The template properly belongs in an external links section. It has contained external links within it to display the results of the KML in external mapping sites, and it will likely do so again in the future. The template itself isn't an internal link within Wikipedia, so it doesn't belong in a see also section. (Should external links not return to it, its utility to Wikipedia will have ended, and it should be deleted wholesale along with the KML files.) Imzadi 1979 → 06:01, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
Hello, I just wanna say many thanks for what you did on Haiku (operating system). While a lot of info has been lost, at the end of the day it was necessary because indeed there was a ton of OR, trivia, 'crystal ball' and unreferenced stuff. It took someone bold like you to make a change like this after this article has turned into a mess for so many years. (the Haiku article was literally like the real-life Copland project!)
I must say there is only one thing I disagree with, which is your removal of the Version History table. Every OS or software article seems to have a version history table which means there's a consensus to have it for this topic. I would personally wanna see it reinstated.
Anyway, this article will need to be build back up with well-referenced, non-trivial/crystal ball info. I'll take a stab at improving it I hope. Flakeƨosa ( talk) 18:53, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
Just to let you know, I've sorta completed a newer, better well-referenced/notable Haiku article without the mess that it was before. I've removed the References Needed hatnote since I believe I've satisfied it for the most part now. Also, the only thing I've restored from before is the Version History table as I personally think it should be there. But anyway it's great to see the article in a much better encyclopedic state now. -- Flakeƨosa ( talk) 23:21, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
Hi,
A few days ago, you commented under my talk page for the purpose of reminding me not to use original research in any capacity, and offered help by redirecting me towards WP:Library. I'm not sure where to ask for sources there, however, because the research desk seems to have died upon inception. Could you point me towards release info for both the US and UK for Lufia II that doesn't contain original research? (US) Usenet forums are stating August 6, corroborated by this second source, is the release date, and not May 1996, like the current page suggests. Venky64 ( talk) 23:06, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
Hi, I'm a new admin. I did deal with the block evasion here but I'm not comfortable indefinitely protecting a talk page. If you feel that strongly about it, I'd suggest posting to WP:RFPP. I have a feeling that said request would likely be denied, but I could be wrong. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 20:36, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
Hello Smuckola, regarding your reversion of the table on Overland Park. There are literally 1000s of articles where the census information is presented with a table - some with prose, some without as tables are pretty much self-explanatory (and there are even editors removing all prose prior to 2020 as dated). The table at hand allows us to easily compare 2020 to prior years and measure the shift in the racial/Hispanic population over time. otherwise, one would have to read the prose for 2020, jump to the prose for 2010, and then jump to the prose for 2000. Kansas City, Missouri#Demographics has a table. Are you saying that it should be removed as well? Cheers Patapsco913 ( talk) 01:15, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
I remember seeing you first when I worked on Super Paper Mario a few years ago. You were a Veteran Editor at the time. Now that I myself am a Veteran Editor I checked back again, and I saw you were still classified as a senior editor.
I checked your user settings and found out your are far beyond this status; you're in fact a Senior Editor II. I'm not sure if you have kept it like this on purpose, but I thought I'd let you know just in case. Congrats! Panini! • 🥪 01:06, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, Smuckola, for ensuring that articles are consistent with the verifiability policy and reliable sources guideline by vetting content additions for original research and other unencyclopedic material. I appreciate your vigilance in keeping Wikipedia free of promotion. Your efforts make Wikipedia a more trustworthy resource for our readers. — Newslinger talk 07:52, 7 March 2024 (UTC) |
Hi Smuckola, thank you for removing improperly sourced content from the Apple community article and for defending your edits with policy-based reasoning. I also want to apologize for not responding sooner. Your edits have brought the article one step closer to Wikipedia's standards, and I don't want to give you the impression that your work is unappreciated. On the contrary, when I look through your contributions and see your reports on the vandalism noticeboard, it's clear that your time and effort on Wikipedia have improved many articles to the benefit of a large number of readers.
I do want to clarify that, per the policy against taking involved administrative actions, I cannot block any editor that I am in a content dispute with unless the situation is sufficiently obvious (e.g. blatant vandalism), and even then, the recommendation is for me to use a noticeboard to request action from an uninvolved administrator. Also, while Jimthing was edit warring on the Apple community article, they did not violate the three-revert rule on that article because multiple reverts performed within contiguous edits only count as a single revert.
Responding to your comment at Talk:Apple community § ScreenCastsOnline, I will take some time to review the rest of the content on the Apple community article and post any points of discussion on the talk page. Thanks again. — Newslinger talk 07:53, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
Ok so, I have messaged you this since I want this dispute to end and if you can figure this out, i'd be very happy.
How did the Croat–Bosniak War end? Was it because of a Bosnian victory or because it ended by the Washington Agreement? I am saying this because two users are disputing about how the war ended (I'm not naming). I personally think the agreement ended the war, but one person says it is a Bosnian victory due to the agreement, while another says the agreement purely ended it.
If you could message me back and tell me your opinion, that'd be great. If a talk page discussion should be added, let me know.
