Nofi
I've added the "prod" template to the article Nofi, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also What Wikipedia is not and Importance). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Nofi. If you remove the dated prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. ~ Amalas rawr  =^_^=  21:32, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Semi protection
Hi Daimanta, just placing the tag on top of an article (as you did with the Netherlands) does not semiprotect the article, the actual protection has to be done by an administrator. Putting up the tag gives a false sense of protection and should not be done unless the protection is real. Arnoutf 20:39, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I was gonna post the same message here, after you put the sprotected tag back in. Adding the tag doesn't change the protection status of the article, and it should not be added if the article is not protected. A  ecis Bravado 20:42, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Oops my mistake, I will request sprotection asap. Thanks for the message :) Daimanta 23:43, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Wireshark article low-importance assessment
Could you please explain why did you marked the article Wireshark as a low-importance article in the WikiProject Free Software? The software is one of the best sniffers and protocols analysers available. I hope that I do not need to say how important this kind of software is for learning about network communication and protocols, developing software, debugging communication problems, security assessment and functionality testing of software and whole systems, malware inspection, reverse engineering etc. etc. --pabouk 10:20, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

psiphon low importance
Thank you for your work on Wikipedia. I don't really understand the low importance tag for the Psiphon article. Does this mean you consider the article to be of low importance or the subject matter is of low importance? In any case I respectfully disagree as to both. While the software in of itself may not be an earth shattering piece of programming it is a anti-censorship open source project. As such it has both news worthy importance and aspects of substance in that people may use it to evade censorship. The article also details possible pitfalls of using the software which could be crucial for individuals wishing to avoid being arrested in those countries that censor and punish free speech. A re-think might be in order. 151.205.101.214 10:51, 11 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Dear poster, I have treated the articles as a "part" of WPFS. Therefore I assesed them on their importance to Free Software. While this may surely be an astounding piece of work, I think it means very little to Free Software as a whole. As you can see on my page, I have had comments on this before. If you want to change it, feel absolutely free to do so since I won't revert it. Daimanta 19:32, 11 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the explanation of what that means. I'm not going to touch it, as its obvious that you have put quite a bit of thought to it.  And I really didn't mean a rethink by me as I know I'm not qualified to rate the article having contributed a bit to it. 151.205.187.88 22:51, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Knights of honor
Hey, I noticed you added this page. I cleaned it up a bit, but after a tiny bit of reading, I noticed that Knights of Honor is already directly a link to one of the two in the disambig page, and also includes a link to the other of the two. Is this page really necessary? GlassCobra 11:17, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the quick response. Apparently the version with uppercase letter refers to the fraternity. The lowercase version did not yield any article. I used the personal liberty to make that article myself as a disambuguation page. If you want to change it, please go ahead. Daimanta 11:47, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
 * It'll probably be fine as is, but someone may come along and redirect it to Knights of Honor, with the uppercase H. Just to let you know. Happy editing! GlassCobra 11:49, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

European Union
Hi Daimanta, thanks for the review of the European Union article. I think you did a fair and thorough job. Of course our ambitions with this article are high (we hope to (re)gain Featured status in the future). Could you please give a short statment (about 1-line is enough) what your overall impression is of our chances to take it to the next level. Please do not put much effort, I am just interested in the opinion of an informed outsider. Thanks again Arnoutf 18:10, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Unreliable sources in Taipei 101
Hi,

I just want to know why and what is wrong with the "unreliable" pages that you deleted the links of Taipei 101. If there was a guideline saying that wiki sources aren't "reliable" maybe I should have a look at it. Those "unreliable" sources happen to be in my school's Science and Engineering text books and of the Tuned Mass Damper and has been much agreeable by many in our engineering community for years. Unless if you yourself is a qualified engineer and you can proof that the source is unreliable, then by all means, - the sources you can say are unreliable. I wish I could provide proof, but if you really need to know, I can.

However, on the other hand, I must say you're doing a good job on getting Taipei 101 a GA. I know we and the others had a long run cleaning up the article. In your discussion, I can see you're expecting us to comment and help out in the article, or how should I say, "Fail it immediately due to a lack of response" but do also understand that not all of us Wikipedians are free to contribute all the time especially myself, I mean, in an environment where I can't really waste much valuable time. (Though I used to, contribute all the time 24/7)

Hope to hear from you, and thanks for your understanding!

 SomeForm OFhuman 15:20, 30 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I have looked at your comment and I want to respond to your questions. The reason I see a wiki is a unreliable source is that anyone can edit it(the essence of a wiki) and that the information can change on a daily basis. A source needs to be reliable not only on factual accuracy but also on persistence. If I know a source will vanish tomorrow due to cleanup or something, I would not link to it. Same goes with a wiki. If I don't know who writes something and if I don't know if the information is persisten, I won't use it as a source. And as a GA reviewer I hold articles to this standard.

" know we and the others had a long run cleaning up the article. In your discussion, I can see you're expecting us to comment and help out in the article, or how should I say, "Fail it immediately due to a lack of response" but do also understand that not all of us Wikipedians are free to contribute all the time especially myself, I mean, in an environment where I can't really waste much valuable time."

I am probably one of the most relaxed GA reviewers of the lot. Most of them simply pass or fail articles on the current status. I actively try to improve the article to GA standards and most of the time I get helpfull responses that turn the article into an article that deserves GA-status. This approach requires a synergy between the editors and the reviewer. If I don't get a response I simply judge it on it's current merits and as I saw it, the article simply wasn't worthy of GA status. I hope that answers your question.

With kind regards,

Daimanta 17:01, 30 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I see... Well if there were more article touchups in the near future, will you still be reviewing it to a GA?


 *  SomeForm OFhuman 00:16, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

GA Review of Taipei 101
This is a reminder that you have labelled Taipei 101 at WP:GAN with the GAReview template 11 days ago. Reviews should ideally be completed with 5-7 days, so if you could complete your review in the next 24 hours, or remove the template from the page so someone else can review the article, that would be great! Thanks! Dr. Cash 21:13, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

GA Review of Aang
Thanks for reviewing the article. After reading your comments, I made some changes to the lead section. I would appreciate if you would look over it again and tell me what you think of the current revision. Thanks a lot. Parent5446(Murder me for my actions) 00:54, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks again for looking it over. I really appreciate. I hope that the quality of the article's factual information and prose is much improved than its previous version. I will probably renominate the article very soon. If not, I will send it in to peer review for a little bit more tweaking. Parent5446(Murder me for my actions) 02:38, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

I put an example or two of what I thought you meant by director's comments, etc. One is in the lead section. Is that what you mean? (I also fixed the other problems you pointed out. I think I am going to reread the whole article and check for these seemingly common mistakes.) Parent5446(Murder me for my actions) 22:31, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Could I ask you to look it over one more time, and decide whether this article is ready to pass or not? Thank you for you generous input. I found many flaws which I have not seen before and you have been a big help. Parent5446(Murder me for my actions) 23:26, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Question About Guidelines
How come I have to tell you whether I pass or fail an article as GA or not. I am just asking because I do not have a good picture of the Wikipedia guidelines and I just want to know how the process works. Thank you. Parent5446(Murder me for my actions) 21:35, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, the GA reviewer is the only person that has the power to promote the article. Not everbody can do that. Simply spoken, you aren't allowed to promote an article someone else is reviewing. I hope that answers your question. Regards, Daimanta 22:32, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Nomination of Chrysler Building as GA
Seasons Greetings, Before I continue, I must say this is my first time that I would like to nominate an article towards GA.

I am in full force to re-structure the Chrysler Building article. Also, I do not know to nominate an article to GA status. So far, you're the only person whom I know that I can rely for help on GA nominations. Can you kindly give me a hand on this? P.S, if there are certain edits or comments you can contribute to the article, your help is greatly appreciated. I'll do the ammendments accordingly.

Thank you very much.

CoD4 GA Review
Are you still doing anything with the CoD4 GA nomination? The article's gone backward since the review started, and in addition to failing several standard criteria (namely 1, 2 and to an extent 5), it now also fails per quick fail criteria 3, and I severely doubt that all its issues can be dealt with in a time reasonable to a GA review (which has already gone on a long time). -- Sabre (talk) 20:05, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I am pretty much done. It fails on not being up to standard and the fact that there has not been any attempt at fixing it. I was kinda hoping it would but it's too bad. Regard, Daimanta (talk) 01:06, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

GA Sweeps invitation
Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am sending you this message since you are a member of the GA WikiProject. I would like to invite you to consider helping with the GA sweeps process. Sweeps helps to ensure that the oldest GAs still meet the criteria, and improve the quality of GAs overall. Unfortunately, last month only two articles were reviewed. This is definitely a low point after our peak at the beginning of the process when 163 articles were reviewed in September 2007. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. All exempt and previously reviewed articles have already been removed from the list. Instead of reviewing by topic, you can consider picking and choosing whichever articles interest you.

We are always looking for new members to assist with the remaining articles, so if you are interested or know of anybody that can assist, please visit the GA sweeps page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. If only 14 editors achieve this feat starting now, we would be done with Sweeps! Of course, having more people reviewing less articles would be better for all involved, so please consider asking others to help out. Feel free to stop by and only review a few articles, something's better than nothing! Take a look at the list, and see what articles interest you. Let's work to complete Sweeps so that efforts can be fully focused on the backlog at GAN. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 03:02, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
