Daily Radar
Sorry, this is a case where I have never heard of this company in the first place. Dyl July 5, 2005 19:52 (UTC)
 * That's OK, it doesn't matter too much. In the future, hopefully enough people will join wikipedia, so atleast one of them knows more about Daily Radar than I do. :) -Hyad July 5, 2005 21:02 (UTC)

Please fix Pearle to recognize Template:Future game
Yup, a few people pointed that out. I did manage to fix it and test it on the few remaining articles in that category which hadn't already been frobbed. Thanks for your attention to detail. -- Beland 02:17, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Ok. At least Pearle is better than some other bots that convert American to English . -Hyad 02:30, August 12, 2005 (UTC)

Listing criteria for software pages
As we have so many Lists of software and Software comparisons, would it be worth setting up a single page somewhere where people can discuss a consistant policy on what to add? Or is there already such a page? Ojw 17:17, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, I don't know if there is such a page already - you might want to talk on the Category:Software comparison page. If you are refering to my edits on the Comparison of bitmap graphics editors, then you could discuss stuff there or have it on my talk page. I was only trying to make sure the Comparison of bitmap graphics editors doesn't become a List of bitmap graphics editors. I really love the the page - cause I want to get into editing photos myself - but there seemed to be too many choses and not enough descriptions. That leaves the average person looking at the page very confused about what is a good photo editor they can use. (BTW, I commented out the old links - I did not delete them - in case you want to be able to put some of them back onto that page.) The Comparison of handheld gaming consoles is a good example of what a comparison page should be like. -Hyad 22:09, August 19, 2005 (UTC)

MGS4's expected release date
Regarding your edit to the Metal Gear Solid 4 page (and question in the history):

Since Metal Gear Solid, each game has been released three years apart. MGS in late 1998, MGS2 in late 2001, then MGS3 in late 2004. The next game's expected to follow the pattern; nothing official's been given by Konami regarding the release yet, but it is true that MGS4 is "expected to be released in late 2007." - DoubleCross 17:02, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

Hi, can you provide the source and copyright details for the Image:Steve.gif you worked on. Thanks. Jay 12:22, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

There is a free software portal
Hi, I just saw your comment on that talk page of the free software article about starting a portal. I started a free software portal about 2 weeks ago, but I've got busy and haven't developed it much. Here it is: Portal:Free_software. It needs a lot of work :-) Gronky 01:50, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Java Programming/Spring framework is pretty snappy!
I just finished reading your wikibooks entry on Spring framework and thought it was pretty good! It was nice and succinct. I have been tinkering with it at work for the past two weeks and am convinced that along with Eclipse, Visual Editor, and Hibernate via Spring Framework, that building well architected applications is easier than ever before. I also linked to it from my own web page. --Gregturn 23:50, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Spring framework
Thanks for the quick Spring introduction. I'm diving into Spring now after a long stint away from Java and it was nice to be able to run through a quick tutorial, get a real result, and see why it was all worthwhile. Inanutshellus 22:00, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Wow! this is pretty neat. I was going through the recommended book for Spring, but could not find a simple enough example. This makes the idea of using Spring framework very clear for a beginner like me. vichlu

As you said, this is the Tutorial one expects to find when looking for something that just shows you what Spring is. Very good job !! Miguel from Spain. 16-Nov-2009

Many thanks for your tutorial. I have a job interview and a quick update in what Spring is supposed to be and how it is supposed to work is extremely useful to me. 79.148.212.102 (talk) 08:38, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks...I read this while at a spring lecture and this was faster and easier to comprehend

Unspecified source for Image:Ed_Bradley_2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Ed_Bradley_2.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 06:50, 29 January 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Shyam ( T / C ) 06:50, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Duplo logo.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Duplo logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:06, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Java and Portal
I recently posted the following text on Wikipedia regarding the creation of a new computing-related project: 'WikiProject Java is a Wikipedian community that aims to better organize information in articles related to the Java programming language and its platform. Please support this initiative,    A l a i n  R 3 4 5   Techno-Wiki-Geek     07:44, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * If I'm cor-rec-to, there are about 900 articles on Java technology in Wikipedia, which may be more than ALL other programming languages articles combined...
 * At least, it's more than for C++, and there IS a C++ WikiProject...
 * And it's MUCH more than the .NET WikiProject with 82 articles...
 * There is also a Ruby project and a Python portal so...
 * Now you can also see a proposal for the Java Portal (temp location).'

Thanks for letting me know Alain. I definitely support the project. However, I'm not sure if I can do much editing on my part. I was on Wikipedia a lot back in 2005, but since then I hardly log in any more. The real world needs me (and probably you as well)! -Hyad (talk) 00:18, 2 November 2009 (UTC) P.S. For some humor, check out Evolution of an Uncyclopedia editor.


 * Hi Hyad, and thanks for your support of the WikiProject Java. But as soon a we reached 5 supporters, we could proceed with the groundwork for releasing the project and portal in the open these last days. So I would appreciate it very much if you could copy your name in the List of participants page (even if your implication will be minimal). Thank you (your link is hilarious, I put it on my user page), --   A l a i n  R 3 4 5   Techno-Wiki-Geek     06:02, 2 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I added my name to the list of participants. Yeah, there's definitely a lot of humor on Uncyclopedia :) ... Got to go. I already feel like I'm about to be sucked back in to the Wikipedia world again... AHHH!!! -Hyad (talk) 18:23, 4 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the support. Yes I feel this Wikipedia thing could be too addictive for my own good too! So I won't push you more, but I will appreciate if you could tidy by putting this box somewhere around. I also like your link about 'Programming Outside The Cube', I know the feeling... Bye now, --   A l a i n  R 3 4 5   Techno-Wiki-Geek     04:48, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Ed Bradley 2.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Ed Bradley 2.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use 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.
