ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Comodo Secure DNS


A tag has been placed on Comodo Secure DNS, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Your edit to Binary prefix
Hi. I've reverted your edit because most, perhaps all, of the changes you made did not affect the rendered text, i.e. the page as the reader sees it. Your edit mostly consisted of removing newlines within paragraphs of the wikitext.

Some editors like to break up the Wikitext by hitting Enter after each sentence. Or even after a major phrase. I often do this myself, depending on the article and the text. In complex text this can makes the edit window much less cluttered and easier to navigate (want to move by sentences? Just hit up arrow or down arrow) and can help organize the writer's thoughts. Text followed by a single newline and more text does not produce a paragraph break. It takes two newlines to do that. (For an essay presenting both points of view, see WP:Don't use line breaks.)

Please don't make such changes. Although they don't affect the rendered text, they do increase editor workload. They complicate the editing history of the article and make diffs between versions more time-consuming to go through. Many of these changes can be difficult to see and evaluate in the diffs display. This can sometimes cause a lot of wasted time and effort for later editors trying to figure out what a previous edit has done.

All because of edits that do not improve the article for the reader, not in the slightest detail.

Perhaps your edit included changes that are visible to the reader. I didn't have time to go through the diffs and find them (and that is the point here; if there were substantive changes in your edit, they were darned hard to spot among all the pointless changes). Re-make those edits if you want, but please leave the newlines alone.

Note that if a particular style of using whitespace or newlines or etc. in the wikitext is considered an "optional style", then changing them purely for personal preference is contrary to an Arbcom ruling. In other words - such things aren't wrong, but changing them is considered wrong.

Thank you for considering this in your future editing. Jeh (talk) 23:04, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
