I gave a blog link in the External links section of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Hummingbird and it was deleted. But many other blog links can be found in your references. Is it Wikipedia paid that the moderator can put their friends links only or paid links only.
The link was - http://technologiesinternetz.blogspot.in/2013/11/how-hummingbird-has-changed-definition.html
First I put this link under - References - the link was deleted
Later on I put this link under - External Link - Again it was deleted.
Is it biased that only moderator or checker can do anything. Other blog links are visible but when I put my favorite blog they delete it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.74.24.62 ( talk) 04:56, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
i need to know if it's possible to take a high quality video of my screen the same restitution as my screen at 30fps in real time (with software.) if so, i need a free program to do so if anyone knows of one. thank you. 70.114.242.17 ( talk) 14:06, 22 November 2013 (UTC) p.s., i have a 4-core 2.8ghz amd cpu, 4gb ddr3 ram, 1280*1024 moniter with 24bit rgb color and 60hz refresh rate. 70.114.242.17 ( talk) 14:18, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
I grudgingly see the need for (some) cookies - like remembering my user id or personalised settings for various things, but I find the targeting of adverts quite annoying. What is really bugging me though is that I might look around the internet to buy some product or service and then make my purchase, only to be stalked with adverts for the very same product or service for the next week or two. Why do targeted adverts not take notice of the fact that you actually bought something and are obviously no longer interested in that particular thing? Astronaut ( talk) 20:15, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
Hello, My website hosting company gives really horrible addresses to pages of websites they host, eg. example.com/#!PageName/xxxxx. It's that last bit that looks really unprofessional, but they claim ( http://www.wix.com/support/forum/html5/other/other/scrappy-web-nameaddress-bar) that this 'page ID' is necessary for AJAX websites. I may be mistaken but I think Facebook uses AJAX and I don't see such horrible page IDs at the end of their page URLs, so I think it's poor/lazy coding on the part of the service provider. Is there a way to hide the page ID? Thanks 81.101.120.9 ( talk) 21:14, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
Does anyone remember the good old days of the 1990s, where you had to open every single page in a browser in a new window because if it went out of sight, the information and all your changes went away? Well, I just had a blast from the past getting hit with an edit conflict on Wikipedia - I did what I've always done, namely back-arrowed out of their useless "upper/lower text box" thingy so that I could grab my content and hit the Editing Section tab in the history browser. And guess what! "Document Expired". On Wikipedia I actually could go to the accursed lower box to retrieve my text, but if it had been another page, another time, I could have lost an hour or more of work, so it's important for me to stake this vampire, salt and burn the bones, bury it in its native earth, etc.
Now I've seen this plague rear its head more than once, and changed browsers more than once to get rid of it, and I'm amazed that something so universally derided by readers is still making appearances. The browser I was using for this was the latest update of Firefox on a Windows system. I went hunting and I found various threads claiming that you may or may not be able to fix it with a specific about:config setting - they're about evenly divided. [2] [3] and elsewhere. Oddly, some of those are from a period when I didn't notice that problem. Anyway, some general questions:
Pardon my rhetoric, but this one... it's just so absurd... Wnt ( talk) 21:45, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
Rather than carry around a flash drive I email myself stuff if I don't have time to read it at a library.
I forwarded the email to User:Nil Einne to see if he saw just white space too and if anyone can figure out why.— Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 22:49, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
