Hi, I'm writing in response to your deletion of [Harvest (software)]. I created the page in October 2010 and it passed deletion review. The page was reviewed again last month and deleted. It was granted userification by the deleting administrator [[User:Sandstein]]. The following changes were made to the page: 1) Added a notable reference. Specifically, an article in the [[The Wall Street Journal]]. The link to the latter article was not on the page before deletion. 2) Added [[Harvest (software)]] to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Computing]], an effort to increase the quality and quantity of information about computing on [[Wikipedia]]. Before deletion, [[Harvest (software)]] was apart of [[Comparison of time tracking software]], an informative article that is apart of the project. I request that [[Harvest_(software)]] be restored, so that I may submit the updated article for proper [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Computing/Peer_review | Peer_review]]. Thank you!

Hey sorry but i don't know what a tilde is, in spanish a tilde is an accent, since my keyboard is in spanish i don't know where to find that symbol, and you guys delete my posts for something as ridiculous as that? so my opinion isn't valid because i don't have a freaking tilde? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.40.61.7 (talk) 04:31, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_sign_your_posts Wikipedia now includes a little icon thing that lets you put in the information normally contained in the four tildes without needing the proper keyboard. It Will appear as a series of four tildes "Chardansearavitriol (talk) 03:29, 2 March 2011 (UTC)" immediatly below save/show preview / show changes buttons.

Sinebot
Hello Slakr!
I'm a ptwiki user, and I'm lately surfing on enwiki to bring some ideas for the Lusophone project. I'm very interested in SineBot, because in ptwiki, when a user does not sign a message, we have to check the signature manually.
Would you help me in the process of translating the language of the robot program?
As on enwiki, we have to make a request, however I do not know anything about the technical function of creating a robot.
Can you help me?
Hugs

Procsee Bot error?
Hi. I saw the block log today for 194.126.21.9 and I'm a little confused. It looks like ProcseeBot meant to block 213.175.165.130, but blocked this IP instead. I've attached the relevant entry below. If you could take a look, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
- * (del/undel) 06:37, 27 March 2011 ProcseeBot (talk | contribs | block) blocked 194.126.21.9 (talk) (account creation blocked) with an expiry time of 2 months ({{blocked proxy}} <!-- 213.175.165.130:3128 -->) (unblock | change block) TNXMan 11:31, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
- When the exit point of the block differs from the entry point, the bot will put the entry point in the comment, along with the port. So, say for example you can use a proxy at 123.45.67.89, port 1234, but instead of it routing the proxy traffic on 123.45.67.89, it instead uses another ip—99.88.77.66—for outgoing traffic. Checking to see if 99.88.77.66 is an open proxy would likely result in a false negative, as incoming requests are only being listened to on 123.45.67.89:1234, so the bot would block 99.88.77.66 and put 123.45.67.89:1234 in the block reason to help other admins verify whether it's still open. --slakr\ talk / 09:54, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
- Ah, it makes sense now. Thanks! TNXMan 20:51, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
Help! Vandal with power!
Hi! Could you please assist. It appears we have a Vandal here who is using his "power" with WP to assert himself. On the Beagle 2 page, I originally wrote on the first para, that Beagle 2 "...may have missed Mars altogether, skipped off the atmosphere or entered an orbit around the sun, or burned up during its descent. If if reached the surface, then it may have hit too hard, or simply failed to contact Earth due to a fault". This was very concise, accurate, detailed and informative.
However, some time later, the "Vandal" complained of, Ruslik0, replaced this text with less informative, and misleading text which also doesn't inform the reader of all the possibilities which could have befallen the Beagle probe. I have undone his insertion on a number of occasions and I have written on the Discussion page about this Vandalism. Please see "Vandalism" and "Comment" on the Discussion page, which explains all of my reasons in detail.
However Ruslik0 simply kept blindly replacing my original wording with his -- and always without a word of explanation.
Lately, he has also deleted part of the History where all this was happening -- and locked the entire Article-- and again without a single word of explanation!
Sadly, there are on WP many who still display the "territorial ape" which is regrettably all too present in some people, and they simly get rattled if you "violate their space, where they have left their territorial marker". This is why he cannot provide any rational justification for his actions -- but at the same time he can't stop doing it. Could you please investigate the matter. WP deserves the very best in writing and informative standards and here we are definitely going backwards.
Thankyou. (204.112.57.207 (talk) 18:07, 18 April 2011 (UTC)) I am also Valhalan; I was asked some years ago to be an administrator but alas I have a very demanding job which limits my time.
- I'm not well-versed in the topic, but you should cite expert speculation about what happened to it with a verifiable secondary source. If parts of the speculation aren't substantiated in the sources cited (e.g., the part about it skipping off the atmosphere and magically going into stable orbit around the sun), then it would have no place in the article. If, however, there are a decent portion of experts saying that it is a valid possibility, then it should be no problem to cite those views. I'd suggest discussing it on the article's talk page. --slakr\ talk / 09:49, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
Ops gear
Per my comment at the AfD, can you please salt that name as well as OPSGEAR to prevent recreation? Someone else will probably attempt to put the advert back in if we don't. I will go ahead and close the AfD. CycloneGU (talk) 20:43, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
- Never mind, I see you've closed it. I was waiting for the WP:SALT myself. CycloneGU (talk) 20:48, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
- Someone else salted the old article; I went ahead and got the new one. --slakr\ talk / 20:55, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
- Good deal. Hopefully, they don't try to use some other abbreviation (like OPS gear or something), but we'll catch it when they do. CycloneGU (talk) 20:56, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
