Thanks for creating Accumulator (cryptography), Cloudswrest!

Wikipedia editor I dream of horses just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

"It would be best if you simplified the vocabulary a little bit so someone who didn't know English very well can understand it. If you can't seem to do it, though, someone else might."

Disambiguation link notification for June 12
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Michael Collins Piper, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Coeur d'Alene. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Tonometry
Hi, thanks for your edits.

I've enclosed the relevant section from the current RCOphth guidance (https://www.rcophth.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/2012_PROF_174_Ophthalmic-Instrument-Decontamination.pdf)

3.1 "It is unnecessary to use disposable tonometry for all routine cases. There is no evidence that using single-use devices for all routine is cost-effective in reducing infection risk. It is acceptable to use reusable tonometer prisms provided that they are decontaminated correctly between patients. Cellular and proteinaceous debris can be present on tonometers after use, although the cornea is now regarded as low risk for prion infectivity. After each use, and before being allowed to dry, re-usable prisms should ideally be rinsed in water, washed with soap/detergent and rinsed again, then immersed in 1% sodium hypochlorite solution for at least 10 minutes; after which they should be rinsed (using sterile water) and dried."

There's an interesting article in Eye by Hillier et al and a letter in the BJO by Mehta et al which are worth having a look at if you have time. Hope you find them helpful. Aspheric Aspheric (talk) 21:30, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

Discrimination Against IPs (Sibling)
IPs are supposed to be held to the same standard of normal users, but in your revision comments you stated that you reverted the change because I was an IP, and then proceeded to say I should use the talk page, instead of using the talk page yourself. I am reverting your change as it was discriminatory, and am willing to discuss it on the talk page when you have a valid argument against it. It being there for a long time and me being an IP WP:IPHUMAN should have no influence on a decision to revert. There are no citations from a trusted source WP:RELIABILITY that show 3/4 sibling as being a common expression, or that it even exists. It has an undue emphasis WP:RSUW on the page as it takes up twice the length of all other relationships on the page and is not in common usage, and mainly consists of a grouping of small ipc sections WP:IPC. 198.151.8.4 (talk) 17:09, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Möbius tube sculpture.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Möbius tube sculpture.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 00:14, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Möbius tube sculpture.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Möbius tube sculpture.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:41, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

Way Down Yonder In the Paw Paw Patch moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Way Down Yonder In the Paw Paw Patch, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
