Hello, I'm McGeddon. Your recent edit to the page ReCAPTCHA appears to have added incorrect information, so I have removed it for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. McGeddon (talk) 12:48, 27 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Hello,
 * Yes I do believe you made a mistake. It's pretty obvious that those images are not recaptchas. Please see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:ReCAPTCHA#Wrong_example
 * They contraddict the description of reCAPTCHA that is given in the very article. A reCAPTCHA has a control image whose transcription is known (either because the images is generated or because its transcription was already verified) and a scanned image whose transcription is unknown and will be learnt from the user's input. Both of the example images show two words which are clearly both generated. Those are old-style plain CAPTCHAs, without "re".


 * Why don't you cite a source for those images if you really believe they are correct examples of recaptcha?

 * Thanks for the alert - editors don't get automatically alerted when other people reply on other talk pages. (Although you can alert a user to any talk thread by just linking their username - eg. "User:McGeddon" - in the text.)
 * I see your point now, and will reply on the article talk page. --McGeddon (talk) 13:17, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
