Please exaplain your edit of Master boot record
Hpa, can you please explain with a reference(s) why on 6 July 2007 you changed the value of 0x500 as the amount of memory used by a booting PC for system data to 0x600 instead? This should be cited in the text with a good source, and I'm having some difficulty finding an appropriate one. This also affects some clean-up I want to perform on the article. (If I find a source first, you can ignore this or certainly add another.) Daniel B. Sedory 23:19, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Your edits to RS-232
Thank you for adding useful, well-referenced information! Jeh (talk) 06:55, 30 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I appreciate your thank you for the work I did on the RS-232 article. Apparently User:Wtshymanski thought it was all stupid and deleted it all. I'm rather upset. Hpa (talk) 21:48, 8 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, that happens sometimes. Like it says on the edit page, if you don't want your stuff mercilessly edited, don't contribute it. I get upset about it too and I chafe a lot at the rules that seem to exclude a lot of useful content. Maybe if there's a way to reformulate the info or give it more background it can be restored. Remember that everything is preserved in the edit history, so restoring your material isn't much trouble as long as not many other edits have been made to the same section. Hope this helps...

NowCommons: File:Newmenu2.png
File:Newmenu2.png is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:SysLinux.png. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case:. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 16:18, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

RAID
You put a citation needed tag about the number of drives required for the levels of raid. Might I inquire as to which levels you doubt are accurate? The only ones that I'm no sure are correct are levels 2 and 3, so I will look for a source, however the rest are all perfectly accurate.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Hpa. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Hpa~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 00:38, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 13:53, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
