July 2019: Always cite a source
Hello, I'm Quisqualis. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. PS: Please exercise care in where you place additions to an article. Avoid placing them where they don't make sense. Thanks,Quisqualis (talk) 08:34, 17 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you! Hopefully the second sentence of Special:PermanentLink/906831370 is now well sufficiently cited!  —Sladen (talk) 09:48, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

AMPRNet
I noticed that along with updating the page for AMPRNet recently, you also updated pages for its various board members, except for John Gilmore. Could you fix his as well? You might also mention in Hank Magnuski that he obtained the 44/8 allocation for amateur radio/internet collaboration in 1981. I'm too close to the topic to make such edits myself. Gnuish (talk) 09:23, 31 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Magnuski is mentioned and linked in the fourth paragraph of the article, at AMPRNet. Gilmore is linked as one of the authors of AMPRNet[currently cite #46 but may be re-ordered]. Can be added with more details as soon as there is something (ideally independent) to cite—same goes for Kenneally[probably no longer on the board?]—Kenneally was listed as a director in the original version of the press release, which was subsequally amended to remove Kenneally, and add Magnuski.
 * …However, still need a third-party source/document/something to cite that say such-and-such, and when. (At the moment the citations used are the formal filing with the tax office and state of California.  Better would be articles in the mainstream media, or amateur radio press, or worst case a formal statement on the website.  (Or a GNU/EFF press release…).
 * Perhaps one could suggest an HTML table on https://www.ampr.org/about/legal/ listing each board member/director name + service start/end date + callsign(s) + start/end date + role; and each network block (asset register?) held/claimed/sold with start/end date? Present contractual relationship with UCSD/CAIDA/lawyers (ie. raw hard facts that can be cited).  Exact configuration of AMPRNet gateway, independent of relying on the CAIDA paper from a couple of years ago, that type of thing.
 * Hope that helps! —Sladen (talk) 09:48, 31 July 2019 (UTC) + amended


 * , plus CC-BY-licensed photos uploaded to commons:Special:UploadWizard would be useful eg. group photo from a board meeting; photo of the first/second/third/Nth-generation AMPRNet gateway; 1980s photos of early ARRL Digital Committee, or TNCs—all of which would be useful for illustration of the associated articles. —Sladen (talk) 10:46, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

Stansted TTS firstcouk
Hi Sladen,

Thank you for letting me know, I have now created this new profile which is under my name.

Will I need to submit a new change on the Stansted TTS page now with this account or will my previous change with the firstcouk account be accepted?

Thanks Nerojan — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neroravichandran (talk • contribs) 11:14, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
 * , hello Nerojan, thank for for sorting out the username issue. We can include citations in Wikipedia—magazine articles, newspaper articles, whitepapers, reports, …—but not pure external links in the main body text.  These policies are covered in WP:EL (External Links).  What *would* be useful, is if you can help provide a list of all press/newspaper/magazine articles covering Firstco's upgrading of the Stansted people mover control system.  The relevant information can then be extracted + and the citations made.  Would that be something you could help with?  (Ditto for Heathrow T5, or any other people mover systems).  —Sladen (talk) 11:14, 20 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Probably best to move the discussion to Talk:Stansted Airport Transit System, to keep everything in one place! —Sladen (talk) 11:52, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

tube challenge page and subway challenge
Hello

i think this wikipedia mr c fred has overstepped his mark i think he has a genuine issue with myself and is now overstepping the mark with neutrality i have tried to be nice and offered an olive branch to wikipedia. but now it seems a vendetta has been done to myself i have offered just one condition and one of those is to just knock a simple letter of an s. i keep getting blocked as the editor is quite frankly the worse i have ever seen you seem to be a good editor i am not having mistruths written about myself if wikipedia continue with this then i will use all the actions of mr c fred illegal blocking no arbitration the guy clearly is a wanker and join in the class action lawsuit that is against wikipedia which is ongoing at the moment!

if u can provide any help just explaining the situation he is causing i dont want to vandalise the page anymore but if wikipedia continue in blocking me from typing the truth then i have only one option to copywrite my name on this page which will stop wikipedia from quoting my name at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.172.169.2 (talk) 09:36, 6 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Hello, regarding "provide any help just explaining the situation", it is necessary to fully understand the situation before the situation can be explained to others. Special:Diff/912025163 had some questions to try and get exact answers:   Would you be able to help with finding answers? (Please try to stay on-topic: no threats, no naming, no insults, just facts). As noted before, "You are welcome to write in Swedish/Svenska/Finnish/Suomi if it is easier." Moi, moi. —Sladen (talk) 09:50, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

Freienbrink
Hi Sladen, I just uploaded these photos of Freienbrink. You can find more here. I don't know if they are useful, but at least now they are available. TGCP (talk) 08:52, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Excellent . Wonder if  might be a useful photograph; take from the Alte Posttrasse seemingly directly in the middle of the future Tesla Gigafactory Europe site—and clearly shows the type and style of the tree plantation.  Plus maybe the  bridge looking into the site (easier to take before/after photos later on).  —Sladen (talk) 11:22, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
