supersede vs supercede
What does your message have to do with my talk page? It looks like you have mistaken me for some other user.

FTR, here is my edit which had been discussed there. Your message seems completely irrelevant. --tyomitch 20:48, 24 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I was replying to someone else's comment on your talk page about your edit (and I was supporting your edit). The sequence seemed pretty clear to me. Jeh 22:57, 24 December 2005 (UTC)


 * If your message was targeted at someone else, you'd better put it on his talk page instead of mine. Chances are low that he would stop by my talk page to see your comment. --tyomitch 16:46, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

IPA guide for SCSI article
If, as I would guess, you're likely to come back with something about how "IPA guides are supported by Wikipedia policy" or some such, I suggest you read the ongoing discussion of this matter. This is by no means a settled issue, and there's plenty of oppositon to including IPA guides at all, since they're understood by only a tiny minority of the readership here. (My own position is that if people insist on inserting IPA guides, fine; but there should always also be a simplified "pro-nun" guide for non-pointy-headed academic types&mdash;in other words, the other 98% of us readers.) +ILike2BeAnonymous 20:00, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * The fact that a discussion is in progress doesn't change the current policy and seems like a slim reason to delete requests for IPA guides; if the policy is changed, that can be done at that time. And I know a LOT of non-native-english-speakers who consult wikipedia daily. I'm working with about 20 such this week, in fact.


 * As for your "own position," it seems inconsistent with your deletion, as I don't think anybody ever suggested REMOVING "scuzzy" from that entry. Jeh 20:26, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry I did not hit the ground running with some of my earlier writings and edits (especially of your previous work) the past few days. I have mended my ways. Thanks for your work on the page. Picardy3rd 23:03, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

x86_64 FS and GS registers
When I tagged the "Removal of older features" paragraph as needing a citation, my intention was to bring attention to the "fact" about AMD keeping the FS and GS registers in their x86 64 bits design for compatibility with Windows. I couldn't find any mention of this in the internet, and neither of your statement in the changelog of the page ("they were retained at the request of the Windows kernel team"). What I did find somewhat contradicts what you said (taken from http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/06/05/x64/default.aspx): "In x86 versions of Windows, the FS register is used to point at per-thread memory areas, including the "last error" and Thread Local Storage (GetLastError and TlsGetValue, respectively). On x64 versions of Windows, the FS register has been replaced by the GS register". So, I still think that the x86_64 article needs some references regarding this information.

The purge of Usenet articles
The maker of Gharlane's AfD has his priorities clear; see his groundbreaking article on Eli Cross, for example. He also has a brag section on his user page for articles he has "helped delete"! -- Orange Mike 18:40, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
