Please don't change titles of Reference Desk questions
Hi,

I think you had good intentions in renaming a question on the Computing Reference Desk, but please don't do so again. We recently had an enormous debate that raged for days because Cuddlyable3 decided to fix the grammar of a section header. The consensus was: Do not fix other people's section titles. A major reason is because people watch sections and won't be able to find their question if you have changed its wording; and another is that the purpose of the RD is providing answers and not quibbling about spelling and grammar. The exception is if they have no section title; then we should add one. Thanks. Comet Tuttle (talk) 16:16, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Guy from Computing RefDesk
Thank you for offering to help. My budget is about $800 not including a monitor. I plan to purchase everything through the Chinese version of New Egg (http://www.newegg.com.cn) and assemble it myself. Basically, I want a solid foundation that I can get at least 3~4 years of good service out of. For example, I think starting with 4GB of RAM is fine, provided there is ample room for expansion and I can just drop in DIMMs later. This PC will be used primarily for photo editing and gaming. I'd prefer name brand parts over OEM, because quality is a big issue in this country and the manufacturer's warranties will be all I have going forwards. You can read me directly at shad.mods ^ gmail.com if you'd like. Thanks again, it was very kind of you to offer to help.

Of course I should use the Internet
I get along just fine using the Internet without knowing the terms and have for years. A few years ago gas was $4 a gallon but Internet access was finally low enough for me to get it at home. I had been afraid to be left alone but it was just too much for me to keep driving to libraries, even where I didn't have to wait all that often. But avoiding more than a few select web sites and not trying to do anything fancy has served me pretty well. I occasionally have problems but they're usually not too serious. I have wondered what was causing some problems. Most are probably ad-related. I never google at home and hardly ever remember to do that for computer problems I am having. The Wikipedia reference desk would have seemed the best place to get help or at least links to help. Whether I get real help or not I keep convincing myself that it will somehow work. Once, Yahoo finally came through and explained they did soemthing intentionally using Javascript.

Nevertheless, there are people who seem to think that unless the questioner can solve his or her own problem anyway, he or she shouldn't even bother. I apologize for ranting rather than starting a separate topic for the separate question related to the original question I asked. I guess I was just afraid of getting yelled at for too many questions. But in this case, the rant excepted, I thought I did a pretty good job of at least explaining what was wrong.

Cray CX1000 Article Deletion


A tag has been placed on Cray CX1000, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of Cray CX1000 and leave a note on |the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Elspetheastman (talk) 05:38, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Cray Template Reversion

 * I have reverted your edits to the Cray template: these templates are not designed to endorse a company, and your changes made it look like an advertisement. Please refrain from making such edits. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 05:43, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Non-free files in your user space
Hey there Rocketshiporion, thank you for your contributions. I am a bot, alerting you that non-free files are not allowed in user or talk space. I removed some files I found on User:Rocketshiporion/Cray CX1000. In the future, please refrain from adding fair-use files to your user-space drafts or your talk page.


 * See a log of files removed today here.


 * Shut off the bot here.


 * Report errors here.

Thank you, -- DASHBot (talk) 05:02, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Cray CX1000
Hi! I understand why you might want to put a lot of the specifications in the Cray CX1000, but doing so skirts dangerously close to turning it into advertising, in which case it is very likely to be deleted again. At the moment, the focus should be on developing the article with discussion about the computer, rather than increasing the list of specifications - if only because the specifications are easily available online, so adding them here doesn't provide anything of particular value to the reader, and we can always point them to the specs as required. - Bilby (talk) 09:09, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Cray CX1000-G Blade Enclosure.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Cray CX1000-G Blade Enclosure.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:


 * I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
 * I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
 * If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
 * To opt out of these bot messages, add  to your talk page.
 * If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 05:50, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Hey, seems we drifted a bit into the off-topic zone here
If you want to reply to my statement there, we should either copy the relevant parts of the conversation over to WP:RD/S, or take it to one of our talk pages, lest we become victims of the wrath of the administrators ;-) -- 78.43.71.155 (talk) 21:30, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Style ideas
Re your recent edits to Intel Modular Server System. Please point me to, say three other articles which use indented paragraphs and frequent in-line external links. So why do you think they should be used in your article? One tiny point: why is "Product Description" better than "Product description"? "Expert to find references indeed! What sort of expertise is needed to use Google? &mdash; RHaworth 10:38, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Intel Modular Server System
Hi. I've added some references and helped clean it up a bit in terms of style, adn I'll do some more when I need to escape marking tomorrow. As some general comments, the links you added before shouldn't be part of the body - rather than kinking text, use them as references for the material, or add them as external links if that is more appropriate. Generally, though, the main thing you need to focus on is finding some secondary sources to reference to show that an article is viable. With Wikipedia the aim is generally to create an article which can discuss the subject in a wide context. With computers, primary sources don't give a lot of room to move - they let us provide specs, but no further discussion. Thus we need to find reviews and other material which can both provide that wider context and show that the subject is significant - hence the notability requirements (which, to be honest, I still think are misnamed). Anyway, one last suggestion is to look at creating articles in your userspace and then moving them to mainspace once they're ready - there's no hassles with having developing articles in userspace, and this way you drop them into Wikipedia only when they're ready to go. :) - Bilby (talk) 16:33, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Intel Modular Server System - MFSYS25 Chassis.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Intel Modular Server System - MFSYS25 Chassis.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. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 18:35, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
