List of the Daily Show guests AFD
Since you voted on the previous AFD (here) I thought you may wish to vote again on the article's second AFD: Articles for deletion/List of The Daily Show guests (2nd nomination). Cburnett 01:09, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Bill Brasky, and others.
Thanks. Sure, I'll check them out. I'll try to do what I can to keep them down. (I don't know much about the subjects, or what is going on there, but I will do what I can.) I will add the articles to my watchlist, and try to keep a watchfull eye. Thanks again for your consideration. It's nice to be appreciated here (for once). Wavy G 08:50, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Binary Semaphore
Hi, I added some comments about the difference between binary semaphore and mutex. You undid that comments. Can you explain is there anything wrong in the comments that's why u undid it or is there any other reason?? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Vinluvin (talk • contribs) 06:31, 15 March 2007 (UTC).


 * You wrote something like "a mutex can be unlocked only by the thread that locked it, while a semaphore can be unlocked by any thread." This may be true for some implementations of mutexes or semaphores, on some platforms, but it's obviously not true in general, and specific threading-security models don't really have any relevance to the theoretical concept of "semaphore".


 * If you are talking specifically about POSIX semaphores, then I'd buy it. In that case, you should have qualified your statement something like, "POSIX specifies a semaphore interface in which any process can lock or unlock any named semaphore in the system, as opposed to the POSIX mutex interface, in which attempting to unlock a mutex owned by another thread produces undefined behavior." (But then again, the biggest difference between semaphores and mutexes in POSIX seems to be that semaphores are designed to work at the process level and mutexes at the thread level. And that's even further removed from the theoretical discussion.) --Quuxplusone 17:32, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! got it.. essentially from theoretical point of view there is no comparison between mutex and semaphore.. both are meant for different uses.. right?? I thought the discussion is from programming point of view (as mentioned in the title) and I checked the point I added in three different implementation of Operating systems practically by writing the programs and I observed all behaved the same, that's why I added the comments:). - Vinluvin

Cwatsets
Hello, Quuxplusone.

I see that you've nominated cwatset for deletion. I've read your comments on the associated talk page. Apparently you're not real big on abstract algebra, so I thought I'd clear a couple of things up for you.

The addition used in the article is modulo two. That is,
 * 0 + 0 = 0
 * 0 + 1 = 1
 * 1 + 0 = 1
 * 1 + 1 = 0

You may be more familiar with the concept of exclusive or, or exclusive disjunction.

Anyway, there's a huge and very deep field of mathematics, the theory of finite fields (of order 2n), which is entirely based on binary arithmetic modulo two. Most of the theory of error correcting codes is traditionally expressed in terms of these finite fields. So the kind of "addition" you found so odd in cwatset is in fact quite widely used by mathematicians. DavidCBryant 12:02, 20 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I'm aware of addition mod two, and yes, being a programmer, I'd call it "XOR" or "addition without carry". (And I'd say, IMHO, using the "+" sign to denote it, instead of $$\oplus$$, is more than a little misleading, since it doesn't behave much like regular addition from a layman's perspective.) Anyway, my opinion on the Cwatset article now is not so much that it's nonsense per se, as that it's so obscured and abbreviated (for example, by using the word "addition" where "addition without carry" is meant) as to be nonsensical to the average reader. (And of course it was still a copyvio.) The rewrite is helping, though, and I bet it'll be kept. I'll try to help it along by cleaning up some obscure language right now. --Quuxplusone 05:08, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Katabasis
If you want to merge pars of Katabasis into Descent to the underworld then I suggest you do it. However if you want to leave the template in place, please add the opposite template "mergefrom" to the article "Descent to the underworld" and add a section to the appropriate talk page so that people can discuss it. --Philip Baird Shearer 11:10, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

The Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane
How do you figure that Rynn killed Mrs. Hallet -- either intentionally or unintentionally -- in the film version of the story? (Remember, the synopsis refers only to the film version.) Mrs. Hallet walked down to the cellar (despite Rynn's repeated warnings), accidentally tripped the prop on her way up, and caused the door to slam on her head. I don't see how Rynn was directly involved at all in this process.

The added Trivia note also states that Mrs. Hallet was *accidentally* killed in the film version. I think the synopsis should be changed to avoid confusion with the events in the novel. Jphillst 00:50, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

SPARC
I am a little confused by what happened to this page SPARC - Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Corporation you changed to a redirect yesterday --I see the speedy for the redirect but I did not notice the speedy or other deletion process for the original. In any case i want to recreate it as it is one of the things I know about & I'm sure i could do a proper article whatever may have been wrong with the first--If you're an admin could you restore it to my user space for the purpose?DGG 00:25, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the advice and help. If there's nothing worth restoring, that's fine. (And personally I think my librarian friends were not very wise in the first place when they chose to use an acronym that was so well known as meaning something else entirely in a slightly related field.) DGG 02:41, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Image restoration
Hey. I don't know if you have followed these matters, but there was a reason I remove the pictures at Parthian Shot. As far as this goes, I removed the Shapur II picture because its supposed source according to its description page does not feature this picture at all. So it is completely unwarranted to call it 'Shapur II' or more importantly, a "Parthian Shot".

As far as the Amazon, the source, CAIS, has been determined as a non-RS committing copyvios per a number of discussions, and really the pictures are going to be removed entirely sometime. Certainly such a picture is not appropriate in any article, so I removed it.

I ask that you please undo your action. Also, next time please use an edit summary so I know why you undid my edit. Thanks. The Behnam 16:34, 2 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Your edit simply removed two images from the Parthian shot article. (Two images that were of Parthian shots, according to the definition of "Parthian shot".) I put them back. Since I thought that was obvious, I didn't bother to change the automatically supplied edit summary.


 * The Amazon image (from CAIS) is licensed under the GFDL, according to its image page and according to the CAIS page linked there. If you believe CAIS is lying about the license, that's fine, but you should take it up with WP:CP or something. Does Assume Good Faith apply to our dealings with organizations that aren't Wikipedia editors? :)    If "the pictures are going to be removed entirely sometime", then we'll cross that bridge when we come to it, but there's no point in removing informative pictures from an article just because you think they might disappear sometime.


 * The Sassanid image is more problematic. As you say, it doesn't actually appear at the URL given in its description page, so there's a problem there no matter what its copyright status may be &mdash; we have no source for the claim that it's Shapur II being depicted. I've commented on the bogus source at User talk:Amir85 and on the image page, Image:E3 5 4a sassanian.jpg. Hopefully Amir85 will clear up the source of the image; otherwise, I could see its getting deleted pretty soon, and when it does, obviously the dead link will have to be removed from the Parthian shot article.


 * Hope this helps. Good luck getting those images' copyrights clarified! --Quuxplusone 20:52, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Well I mention CAIS because there have been a number of discussions and admins have stated that the source cannot be trusted. So really AGF doesn't apply here.  I'll look around and try to find links to the CAIS-related discussions.  The Behnam 20:56, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Could you help?
Hello! I noticed you fixed the problem when somebody had moved 311 to 311 (year). I noticed that somebody had done the same fault to 411 (moving it to 411 (year). I tried to move it back, but it didn't work out quite as I wanted it (the history wasn't moved). Now, I wonder, if you could fix this too. I would be much obliged if you did. I'm rather desperate, since 411 is now blank. Secondly, is it only admins who can move a page back or can I, who's only an ordinary user, do this as well? Thanks in advance! /Ludde23 Talk Contrib 08:52, 11 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Ordinary users, such as you and me, can move pages using the "move" tab (between "history" and "watch" at the top of the page, in the default page style), but only if the destination page is blank or has never contained anything but a redirect. Unregistered users can't move pages at all (I think). Admins (I am not one) can move pages pretty much anywhere, I think. Anyway, it looks like the system worked in this case; by the time I saw your message this morning, someone else had already fixed the problem. :) --Quuxplusone 16:19, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Source tag
&larr; ''I noticed your recent AWB change to Singleton pattern, replacing the after inlining. (If you're lucky, any use of a dubious-looking cast will alert the compiler to turn off optimizations that rely on strict can't-alias rules &mdash; if the compiler is complicated enough to have any such optimizations in the first place.)


 * The really Standard C way to solve the problem, of course, is to  the bit pattern into an array of  . That's extremely slow, compared to the ways we're discussing, but it is guaranteed to get the job done. All these other type punning methods depend on implementation-defined or undefined behavior, which makes them fragile. --Quuxplusone (talk) 03:09, 21 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Hmm! N869 paragraph 6.5.2.1 corresponded to one of the paragraphs of 6.3.2.3 in C90, but it has disappeared in C99. C99 does appear to completely condone this use of unions (except for one bullet point in the informative Annex J: "The value of a union member other than the last one stored into (6.2.6.1)" is listed as an example of unspecified behavior). C++2003's paragraph 9.5/1 says that if a union contains several POD-structs with common initial sequences, then "it is permitted to inspect the common initial sequence of any of [those] POD-struct members" &mdash; from which I infer that it's not "permitted" to type-pun in any other cases; C90 and C99 have similar wording.


 * I'll make some tweaks to the article based on what I've said here, but I still mistrust this use of unions. Of course, this is still a wiki; I don't own the article, despite appearances. ;)  I'm willing to tone down the objections to the union method, but I don't want to claim that unions are 100% safe for this purpose if they're not. See above re   for the Safe way to do it, which is the way I'd advise anyone to do it if they cared about compiling with more than one compiler, or long-term portability. (Then again, if you care about portability, you shouldn't be type-punning at all, ever, in the first place!) --Quuxplusone (talk) 17:13, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

The United States Steel Hour
Hi. I came back to the The United States Steel Hour article today and noticed you reverted my change of the tense (it was over a month ago so no worries if you don't remember the edit). The reason I changed "was" to "is" has to do with WP:TENSE which states that works of fiction should be referred to in the present tense. I work on a bunch of television articles, but since I'm not familiar with this particular series, is there a reason why it shouldn't fall under the policy as well? I haven't changed the tense back because I wanted to touch base with you first. Thanks.  Pinkadelica Say it...  03:40, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Request
Hello. I am the writer of the SimpleProgrammingTutorials.com website and I would like to ask you to review some articles from this resource and, if you suppose they are of appropriate quality, add links to corresponding articles of WikiPedia. You can contact me at denis.kulagin@simpleprogrammingtutorials.com. Thanks in advance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Denis.Kulagin (talk • contribs) 18:49, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

You can quote me on that...
On your user page, you say: "Naturally, I won't edit an article solely to change its spacing or quotation style, but I will make such changes while editing for other purposes." But you reverted my edits to Count Zero solely to change my quotation style, and you were not editing that article for other purposes! Where do I go to file a complaint???

Actually, that's just a weak joke -- in fact, I'd like to thank you for alerting me to the Wikipedia policy on quotation marks. I cringe to think about how many articles I've edited incorrectly over the last couple of years. (But even if those articles are now incorrect, at least they're consistent!) As a writer, I've never never cared for the "American" style of using quotation marks, but I've been stuck with it, anyway. So actually I'm pleased to see that Wikipedia has opted for something that's more sensible... while at the same time I have to try not to think about how much time I've spent thinking that I was correcting articles only to find out that I've actually been de-correcting them :( HMishkoff (talk) 01:26, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of OBI
A tag has been placed on OBI requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Kdiff3 deletion
I think your criteria for a software product being encyclopedic is a reasonable test, but am curious why kdiff3 was singled out.

 * Other stuff exists, yeah. I haven't been very active on Wikipedia lately, but even if I were, it's not like I would have gone on a crusade against non-notable software products. I just happened to get involved with the Kdiff3 article one day, and then copied my "criteria" over to my user page... there's no good reason that kdiff3 happened to get singled out.

Teredo and Teredo Navalis
Greetings. With reference to the Wikipedia article on Teredo (the IPv6 tunneling protocol) and its namesake creature. I think your edit was an improvement over my change, except for your reintroduction of the term "Teredo Navalis".

I had removed "Teredo Navalis" because:


 * Teredo was obviously named after "Teredo", a genus of shipworm.
 * Neither the genus nor the tunneling protocol is named "Teredo Navalis".

Unfortunately, the combined effect of our edits gives two false impressions:
 * 1) that Teredo was named after "Teredo Navalis" (but I claim otherwise), and
 * 2) that "Teredo Navalis" is a genus of shipworm (which it is not).

If (1) were true, wouldn't the protocol be called Teredo Navalis? And as can be seen here, "Teredo Navalis" is just one of dozens of species within the "Teredo" genus.

I didn't remove "... Navalis" myself because this may well be the lamest topic for an edit war in the history of Wikipedia. Thank you for the rest of your edit, though. ChrisJBenson (talk) 05:19, 2 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Christian Huitema's email (linked in the footnote to the first part of that sentence) reads in full:

One of the comments I often get on the name Shipworm is that it evokes malicious software such as Nimda or Ramen, that we don't really need another worm in the Internet, and that many will refuse to use this name in product documentation. In short, many people would like to see us use another name.

I would like to propose an alternative name, "Teredo" -- as the beast's zoological name is "Teredo Navalis". Can we agree on that?
 * I'll try to move or copy the footnote marker to cover the "navalis" part as well.


 * I also noticed that Wikipedia's article Shipworm is just a redirect to Teredo navalis; the article on the Teredo genus as a whole is at Shipworms. I guess that this is because "shipworm" is the common name of Teredo navalis, but I'm not a marine-biology expert. --Quuxplusone (talk) 17:47, 2 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Shipworm (and shipworms) can refer to any of the 36 recognized species of the Teredo genus of clams (including "Teredo navalis", which is the most common species of shipworm/Teredo).


 * The offending (to me) sentence in the IPv6 tunneling protocol article currently reads:
 * "To avoid confusion with computer worms,[10] Huitema later changed the protocol's name from Shipworm to Teredo, after the genus name of the shipworm Teredo navalis.[10] "
 * but Teredo navalis is a species, not a genus. To be both factual and verifiable, I suggest this text instead:
 * "To avoid confusion with computer worms, Huitema later changed the protocol's name from Shipworm to Teredo, after Teredo navalis, a species of shipworm.[10] "
 * Or to sound less like a marine biology lesson: "... after Teredo navalis, a type of shipworm.[10] "


 * Any phrase that doesn't portray Teredo navalis as a genus (or a moth!) will be fine with me.
 * --ChrisJBenson (talk) 06:05, 3 February 2018 (UTC)


 * But Teredo is the genus name of the shipworm species Teredo navalis! The species name is navalis and the genus name is Teredo. I may not be a marine biologist, but I do at least know this much about taxonomic names! You can check out the shipworm's kingdom/phylum/class/order/family/genus/species names in the right sidebar of the Teredo navalis article. (Your suggested rewrites are fine with me, actually, but they seem like disimprovements, given that Huitema's new name "Teredo" was specifically literally the genus name of Teredo navalis. He didn't name the protocol after the full name of the species — if someone referred to "the Teredo navalis protocol" they would be simply wrong. The protocol is named specifically after the genus part of the scientific name of the shipworm Teredo navalis. --Quuxplusone (talk) 18:43, 3 February 2018 (UTC) P.P.S.— google the phrase "the genus name of" to see how people use this phrase elsewhere on the Internet.
 * My apologies, ++quux. I wasn't questioning your knowledge. I thought the phrase:
 * "... after the genus name of the shipworm Teredo navalis."
 * might seem synonymous with:
 * "... after the genus name, which is Teredo navalis."
 * to a reader who was not familiar with the partitioning in Linnaeus's binomial nomenclature.

Forgot password
So, the thing I thought was my Wikipedia password no longer works. (It's possible that I changed it a long time ago to something else, and then forgot both that I changed it and what I changed it to.) I've been logged in on my personal laptop for ever, hence how I'm writing this message; but I can no longer log in on new devices. And there's no email address associated with my Wikipedia account. I'm hopeful that an admin would have the power to attach a recovery email address to this account and then I could take it from there.

I'm aware of the options
 * Create a brand-new username on Wikipedia, different from my usernames on GitHub and on BoardGameGeek;
 * Just edit anonymously from any device that's not my laptop;

but I'm hoping there's a better option available with admin assistance. --Quuxplusone (talk) 18:57, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

[... some comments moved to history ...]


 * Also, it just occurred to me that if retaining the username is what you're really after, you can try and request an account name change while you still have access to it, and then create a new account and WP:USURP your old name as it would at that point have no editing history attached to it. 78.28.45.127 (talk) 20:01, 17 May 2018 (UTC)


 * 78.28.45.127: Thanks, I'll give that a try, via User talk:Quuxplusone2 and Steward requests/Username changes.

And I'm back! For the sake of posterity, here's the story: I opened a usurp request following the instructions on meta:Steward requests, which resulted in a Steward opening Phabricator issue T194929, which resulted in another Steward manually resetting my password via the command line. So I managed to get back into my "Quuxplusone" account, contributions and all, without any usurp-related shenanigans!

Ñusta moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Ñusta, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

"Somewhat unrestrained"
Thanks for your edit at Fat Leonard scandal. I think the terminology I chose was accurate, but your comment produced food for thought. I've been wondering if there was a WP category of "political corruption" so I looked to see if there was, and would have proposed to create one, were there not. It turned out there is one, but as I looked, I found this under the same title:The activities that constitute illegal corruption differ depending on the country or jurisdiction. For instance, some political funding practices that are legal in one place may be illegal in another. In some cases, government officials have broad or ill-defined powers, which make it difficult to distinguish between legal and illegal actions. Worldwide, bribery alone is estimated to involve over 1 trillion US dollars annually.[1] A state of unrestrained political corruption is known as a kleptocracy, literally meaning "rule by thieves". So it would appear my instincts and characterization was correct. I'll restore it, unless you have further thoughts. Activist (talk) 09:13, 16 December 2018 (UTC)


 * I'm going off the English meanings of the words. "unrestrained: immoderate; not restrained or held in check." Synonyms from Google Dictionary: "uncontrolled, rampant, runaway, unconstrained, unrestricted, unreserved, unchecked, unbridled, unlimited, unfettered, uninhibited, full-on, unbounded, unmufflered, undisciplined." Saying that costs were "somewhat unrestrained" is an oxymoron — which can be done for humorous effect, as in The Grand Duke's "Now let us be modestly merry" — but humor (even understated British humor) doesn't really conform with WP:TONE. If the costs were actually escalating in an unrestrained (uncontrolled, unchecked) manner, then say so, and add a source that says so. If the costs were escalating in a manner that might or might not be called "unrestrained," then just say "escalating." Don't WP:WEASEL-word it as "arguably unrestrained" or "somewhat unrestrained"; just drop the adjective altogether. Or if you think the sentence needs an adjective for color (—I don't, but—) then pick a more defensible adjective! Maybe you can't find a source to say that the escalation in cost was "uncontrolled," but can you find a source to say that the escalation was "alarming"? (The reason I don't think an adjective is required here is that the context makes it clear that the Navy was concerned about the escalating costs.) Anyway, I think the sentence reads just fine as is: The escalating costs prompted the Navy to build a logistics team... --Quuxplusone (talk) 15:57, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your response. I don't agree, but I don't think there's sufficient reason to change your edit. The costs in the Pacific escalated, thanks to the pervasive bribery which meant that Leonard could essentially charge almost whatever he wanted. I gather that there were some Navy staffers involved who put the brakes on the larceny, though Leonard got one transferred. He used bogus shell companies to bid contracts, so it appeared he was the low bidder. He bought off contractors who should have put the brakes on his awards. He had moles who let him know what his dwindling number of competitors were bidding. The checks on contracts and purchases weren't absent regarding all the contracts which were let in the theater, but the competition was dying in those areas where GMDA was bidding. It went on for over eight years. Public corruption is of particular interest to me. I'm aware of an RFP that almost certainly was being written by major bidder, in one instance of a mammoth government contact, where industry competitors declined to prepare a competitive bid. I suspected at the time that it was in the presence of some understanding that geographically or otherwise limited competition. I metaphorically referred to one such apparent instance at the time by likening it to the Treaty of Tordesillas, where Pope Alexander VI gave license to Spain to exploit all territory west of a mid-ocean meridian, and to the Portuguese, what was east of that demarcation. That's how the latter got to colonize Brazil, the northeast coast of which fell largely to the east of the line. If we had a U.S. government by either party that really paid attention, people would have gone to jail who were otherwise protected and/or promoted. I suspect that same malaise is pervasive in much of the world. Activist (talk) 23:33, 16 December 2018 (UTC)


 * All of that sounds plausible to me (and seems to match what's detailed in the Fat Leonard scandal article). The only thing I objected to, and changed, was the use of the oxymoronic phrase "somewhat unrestrained." :) --Quuxplusone (talk) 01:08, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
