We need to still keep the description etc but its need to remove references to the CEO whis is now the CEO of our competitor and also misleading that Sandisk is a subsidiary as its a Brand of Western Digital.

About the screenshot of Android Pie
Hello, firstly thanks for your contribution to the topic. A question: why the previous screenshot is not an accurate representation of the OS? This screenshot is produced by the software directly compiled from AOSP source. Android should not be defined as the software shipped on those Pixel devices, with all those Google bloatware. If it is defined as such, then we can even replace the screenshot with Samsung, etc flavored ones. Regards Tomskyhaha (talk) 12:36, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

Xfinity Mobile
About 2 years ago, you redirected the Xfinity Mobile stub to the main Xfinity article. It's been revived this week. Any thoughts? - BilCat (talk) 21:19, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

The user who restored it tried to submit Draft:Xfinity Mobile several times and was rejected. I've gone ahead and restored the redirect. If it comes back after this, I'll probably take it to AFD. Thanks. - BilCat (talk) 21:24, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

The user restored the article without comment, so I've filed an AFD. I won't be surprised if they remove the AFD notice too, but of course that will get them in big trouble. - BilCat (talk) 23:04, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

Multichannel television in the United States
I looked at the latest Broadcasting & Cable and the use of "vMVPD" is really common there now. I'm wondering if we might even be able to make that topic a separate article. I found a definition which I put in the MVPD article but wasn't sure how to do the reference other than adding to the end of a long list of references for a sentence or two.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  16:06, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

The invention and naming of dongles
ViperSnake151: I am Mike Lake, one of the co-inventors of the dongle way back in the 1970s and the co-developer of the Wordcraft word processor - though Pete Dowson did all the heavy lifting on Wordcraft - I did the debugging, documentation and marketing! I am not dead (yet!) and I am very happy to correspond about the topic if you wish. I would like the record to be straight and I have always been amused by the stuff I have read about "Don Gall" being the inventor. My involvement with dongles (the manufacture and use therefore) ceased in the 1990s and the Wordcraft word processor has not been around for the last 25+ years - so I have no conflict of interest. I continue to be a grey haired inventor - but not of dongles! I can be reached at mlake at btconnect.com if you wish to contact me directly.

Trusley Mike (talk) 17:53, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

Response to comments about conflict of interest etc
ViperSnake151: following your suggestion on the conflict of interest page I copy below the response I put on my own "Talk" page.

My apologies if I have posted stuff in the wrong place - you chaps deal with thousands of articles, I have been involved in only two so I find it a bit confusing about what goes where.

I am not even sure if this is in the right place because it seems to be in a "Talk" section about me as a user, rather than about Dongles - even though I clicked on "Talk" while viewing the Dongles page.

I feel a little frustrated that, for whatever reasons, I cannot set the record straight and ensure that the article on dongles is accurate.

I know verifiable "facts" are hard to come by these days, and people tend to hide behind user names so you never know who they really are (I always prefer to deal directly with real people - but I understand this is not possible with Wikipedia), but here are a few verifiable facts:

1) I am Mike Lake (mlake at btconnect.com), a real human being, living in Derby, England. I can provide evidence for my existence (I never thought I would ever have to write that ) and a quick Google search for my name or for trusleymike or trusley_mike will find me. (I live in the village of Trusley and my name is Mike - hence the user name.) I think there is a Canadian politician with the same name - but he is not me and I am not him.

2) I am the co-inventor, in the late 1970s, of both the dongle as a physical device and the neologism by which it is known. The other two inventors were Peter Dowson (now a well respected expert on linking all sorts of hardware to aircraft simulators - Google his name to find out more) and Graham Heggie who was an electronics engineer at the time dongles were invented. I don't know what Graham is doing these days.

3) We developed dongles to protect the Wordcraft word processor running on the Commodore PET. Later we produced versions for serial and parallel ports to provide protection on new computers as they came along. Our final dongles were for the IBM PC and clones.

4) We supplied dongles to third parties to protect their software. I suppose we sold a few hundred thousand over the few years we developed and manufactured dongles.

5) Wordcraft, and its type-setting derivative, Typecraft, were character-based systems and we decided not to continue development when graphics WYSIWYG word processing came along with MS Word - we didn't have the marketing muscle to take on Microsoft. So, Wordcraft/Typecraft didn't continue beyond the late 1980s

6) We stopped developing and making dongles at about the same time.

So, I have no interest in dongles from a financial point of view and the software they were designed to protect ceased being sold over 25 years ago.

I don't therefore think I have a conflict of interest.

I am retired but, along with a couple of other retired friends from the software/electronics world, we formed ourselves into "Quite Useful Stuff" (QUS) so we can invent and develop quite useful things as the fancy takes us. We meet once a week to discuss ideas and to progress any projects we may be working on. QUS is not a company - it is three guys who prefer product development to playing golf  In the last couple of years we have developed a Bluetooth temperature probe for the fast food market, a Bluetooth remote level (SmartAngle) and a DAB radio conversion kit for classic cars.

I suppose I am a bit like James Dyson who might wish to post about how he invented a new type of vacuum cleaner or Albert Einstein who might want to post about how he came across relativity.

I welcome your advice on the best way to put the record straight. I happen to think the Dongles article is vague and fairly unhelpful for those seeking information - I would be happy to rewrite it for consideration.

Re:September 2019
I'm introducing the same terminology in every TV channel article on Wikipedia in order to standardise them. As far as I can tell, you're the only one against it on Canadian channels, as if Canada was any different from the US or the rest of the world. I don't care about legal terminology, because a channel can be considered X in one country and Y in another, I only use facts regarding free-to-air and subscription television networks. As such, I don't understand why Canadian TV articles must have a legal distinction from the rest, not treating them as equal, which is just ridiculous in my opinion. If I'm concerned, Canadian TV channels could have a legal section in which they can be «classified» inside that.

But anyway, I'll continue to edit them in a standard manner. Cheers --Bankster (talk) 03:05, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

Freeform (TV channel)
Hello ViperSnake151. User:Bankster has reverted my good edit into User:Bankster's version with the "Pay television" phrase again without an explanation and the edit is misleading. In the Freeform (TV channel), I change to the cable television with my good edit and Bankster revert my good edit and giving me a warning message no. 2. I am 100% positive my edit is good. So could you talk to User:Bankster to stop reverting to pay television because the article is misleading. So you review all American cable channel articles with the misleading "pay television" phrase and change it to "cable television channel". I hope all American articles with the cable television channel phrase is solved. I will be happy to help you. Thanks. 2001:569:7C07:2600:44E7:2C9E:2E87:C408 (talk) 10:08, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello ViperSnake151, User:Bankster wants to unblock by the user's request. Remember the "pay television" controversy? Could you talk to User:Bankster for the user's request to be unblocked? Talk to User:Bankster to promise the user is to never put "pay television" on Canadian and American channels and tell Bankster to promise to never edit war the good edits.

November 2019
Hello, I'm Dmehus. I noticed that you recently removed content from OpenText without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can reply to this message, possibly with a ping to (although, for convenience, I will 'watch' this page). ''Reducing PR-related verbiage is fine, but this was a wholesale reduction that was too great. For example, you obliterated key details on the terms of the acquisition; this is not PR-speak. Moreover, you obliterated whole acquisitions, including Documentum. If you disagree with this version, per bold, revert, discuss, do not undo this reversion; instead, discuss it at Talk:OpenText. Thanks. Doug Mehus T · C '' 00:20, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi, I've gone through and selectively removed some of the PR-speak that you identified and rephrased in other places. I think it's an improvement overall. Thanks! Doug Mehus T · C  00:33, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Sirius XM
Hi ,

I thought I'd drop you a quick note, since you and I occasionally disagree (we do agree, too, though). At any rate, regarding Sirius XM, I noticed you'd added a comment that you objected to a move to SiriusXM Satellite Radio after a previous page move had closed (about a year ago or so). I recently proposed a page move to Sirius XM, where you originally thought it should be, and it closed without opposition. So, it's now moved.

I think we should propose a move of SiriusXM Canada to Sirius XM Canada for consistency. I don't think the camel case is necessary. What do you think?

Cheers,

--Doug Mehus T · C  16:02, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

request opinion on Amscot Financial
Since you have raised issues of promotional content, I would like to get your opinion as to the appropriateness of some of the content on Amscot Financial.

There seems to have been a major contribution to promotional content starting with revision of 2 May 2015 by earflaps. That editor added more potentially promotional content in subsequent edits of this article.

Is this worthy of a major "stripping out" of promotional content?

As a related question, would it be proper to include a BBB link in the "external links" section, or would that be likely to be viewed as unfair? Fabrickator (talk) 23:22, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Impact of the coronavirus pandemic on sports in Portland, Oregon
Hello! First, thank you for all your work on the impact of the pandemic on sports, on the pandemic in general, and your contributions to Wikipedia in general. I'm currently working on a draft article focused on the pandemic in Portland, Oregon. (I know there's not a precedent for city-focused articles, but I plan to move this into the main space when the time is right, and I can envision separate articles focused on Portland and the rest of Oregon.) If you're interested, I currently have minimal mention of professional sports at Draft:2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_Portland,_Oregon. I know very little about sports. If you enjoy fleshing out content about the pandemic's impact on sports, you're more than welcome to assist with this section (specifically the Trail Blazers, Portland Timbers, and Portland Thorns). I assume college sports content would go in the "Impact on education" section? If you're not interested, no worries, I just know you'd do a much better job at this section than me. Either way, keep up the great work. Happy editing, and stay safe, --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 23:24, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

Good job! and thanks. Creating an article such as this has been rolling around in my mind since I started to notice some disturbing remarks and assertions, as well as dissonant behaviors coming from the White House.
