Correspondence
Morven says: I edited your yestersol article to give it the proper Wiki markup. You bold by enclosing in triple single quotes like this. You create titles by surrounding with equals-signs, like this ==A heading==. Convention is to start with double-equals for the top level headings and work downwards by adding more equals. We normally capitalise the first word of a heading and lowercase the rest, unless they're proper nouns of course. Thanks! &mdash;Morven 20:51, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Response: Thanks for the tips! --mdrejhon

Same-sex marriage in Canada
Spinboy says: It's not legal until the bill passes the Senate and recieves royal assent. Please revert your change. -- Spinboy 29 June 2005 06:22 (UTC)

Response: My apologies. Done. --mdrejhon

Spinboy says: Nice website. I like your resume, impressive. I especially took note of your hearing loss, I'm sorry to read about that. For the past year and a bit I've been learning American Sign Language at Algonquin College, and while you say on your site you don't know the language, I just thought I'd mention it anyway. :-) -- Spinboy 29 June 2005 06:31 (UTC)

Re Vertical Wind Tunnel links

 * Sorry, didn't mean to step on toes. I left Aerodium up because they were specifically mentioned in the text, in context.  Thats in line with the policy on external links, in that it supports information in the text of the article.  External links policy allows for one or two representative links as well, so I will of course defer to people who actually have worked on the article (ie you) if you want to remove Aerodium or reinstate one or two of the other links if you felt it supported the text.  I just wanted to act to head things off at the pass in case the anon came back and complained that I was being biased against their link. --Syrthiss 18:36, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window.

License tagging for Image:Relay-screen.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Relay-screen.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 23:08, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Luxo
A tag has been placed on Luxo requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

 * I don't think I've ever been involved in the article involving Luxo (In fact, I don't know what a Luxo is!). Since it no longer exists, can anyone elaborate what exactly got violated (the specific text, image, or website that's in my name)?  Was an image used in another article of mine, used in the Luxo article?  As I haven't logged on for a while, I am concerned my account may have been hacked so my password has been changed.

 * False alarm. The copyright permission is already included -- it is declared as public domain by the author, and is a LaTeX reproduction of a table from a book published in 1842.  I've included a copy of the author's email in the notes.  See below. Mdrejhon (talk) 04:57, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Bell Fibe TV


The article Bell Fibe TV has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Notability has only 1-2 sources"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Proxy

How long/much longer do you expect to be down there (you don't have to be precise)? I or another admin would be happy to set you up with a temporary IP block exemption until you get back up north. Daniel Case (talk) 06:50, 18 April 2023 (UTC)


 * I'm guessing end of May / early June but it varies quite a bit, and there are other people who are staying behind (though they don't edit Wikipedia).
 * Is this going to be an annual re-request? TotalPlay is Mexico's 2nd biggest ISP.  Also the IP is dynamic too, but the fiber optic router is rarely rebooted.


 * That IP address does not appear to be blocked at this time. It looks like it was blocked on the 11th for a week for p2p proxy detections. Are you still getting block notices? If so, what message are you getting? SQL Query Me!  00:27, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Oh. Thanks.
 * BTW, TotalPlay is a gigabit FTTH service in Mexico, their fiber deployments have exploded in the last 12-24 months, so you're probably getting skyrocketing bandwidth by all Mexico users. Even Telmex is yanking copper and replacing with fiber in a hurry-compete.  So there's a lot of flux (good and bad) by the aggregate of Mexico users. Mdrejhon (talk) 03:05, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
