Re: Portal:Poland
Hi Szafranpl and welcome to Wikipedia! I've taken the liberty to reword your edit so that it conforms to the general format used here, but otherwise it's a great addition to the portal. I didn't know Poland was so strong in gliding, so I'm glad to see those results here. I'm also happy that someone has finally added something to the portal, because most of the time it's just me maintaining it, so I may inadvertently bias the portal towards my personal preferences. Thanks a lot and hope to see more of your edits! — Kpalion(talk) 16:46, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * No problem at all; I absolutely understand you want to concentrate on what's interesting for you. Keep up the good work on gliding-related articles! — Kpalion(talk) 21:07, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Names
Hello. The general guideline can be found at WP:NC and it is a long-standing consensus to use diacritics in article titles here at EN Wiki. The de-diacriticized article names are redirecting to the diacriticized, so ordinary readers in English-speaking countries can always find their way to the right article. - Darwinek (talk) 18:06, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
 * For Kubryński, the redirect is automatical, as the page was moved. For any newly created article, you need to create a redirect manually. - Darwinek (talk) 06:59, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

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.

No problem, thank you for adding this; there are numerous popular press summaries out there today, but none of them gave a clear explanation of what the exploit actually does. I found your "mechanism" text very helpful.

You're right; somewhere between your text and my edits, this got confused. Apologies. Another editor since tried to clarify, but IMO that edit made it more confusing. I've deleted part of this edit, and this series of sentences now boils down to:

"The attack can reveal the content of any memory which is mapped into a user address space, even if otherwise protected."

...which I think is perfect.

 * Heh, ain't the whole point of this exercise to produce an encyclopedia? If one of us doesn't catch "it", hopefully another one does. That's why I at least refer to Wikipedia more than any other encyclopedia: there are more critical eyes on it. :) Decoy (talk) 20:53, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
