You wrote me to stop disruptive editing. I am the one who put up the wiki page to my images of signatures. My competitors kept changing all of the links to their webpages for advertizing. I changed it back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Miraluck (talk • contribs)

JRTN

I removed what you said I removed because there are no sources to back that piece of information and is rather biased.

Clearly out of date and biased since there has not been any instance of Al-Douri advocating for separation of Iraq into Sunni and Shia only states.

Thanks for fixing, and there is a mistake on your userpage

Hi Jim! First of all, thanks for reverting vandalism, I really appreciate that! Secondly, your userpage states 'states lived in', with American states. That implies you live(d) in the USA. However, 'countries lived in' does not state so. Mistake? :P

Greetings! Jarvix (talk) 19:23, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

I presume that you mean it is rather USA-centric? I reworded it to be somewhat less so. I lived in Maharashtra state while in India. I don't think Bougainville Island had states. Thanks for pointing this out. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 02:38, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

User: 113.23.129.9

Hello, I saw that you commented on this user's edits on Hin Hua High School, I am relatively new to the whole reporting vandlism game, but to me her edits seemed very much in bad faith and were false, uncited and potentially libelous.Snood1205 (talk) 04:36, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

It's not that bad. The English edit seems rather silly. I can't read the Chinese? edit. Just undo it and warn the editor. Thanks! Jim1138 (talk) 04:42, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

Undecidable problem

I think you made a mistake by reverting my change in the link of a line "While most infinite loops can be found by close inspection of the code, there is no general method to determine whether a given program will ever halt or will run forever; this is the undecidability of the halting problem." in the "Infinete loop" article. This sentence clearly refers specificly to Undecidable problem that is a subcategory of the decision problem and not to decision problems in general, it was laborous to find information about undecibility from that article. Also "Undecidable problem" article refers to "Decision problem" at the very begining so that if the reader does not understand the term he or she can check that out easily.37.136.56.173 (talk) 09:23, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Do you have any ideas that could help?Mohamed 12:45, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Have you tried opening a discussion on a notice board? Perhaps the equivalent of Wikipedia:Requests for mediation or Wikipedia:Village pump? Be sure to have a few (don't overcite) exemplary references supporting your arguments maybe a cite criticizing the FGM references of those supporting FGM. Probably the more public the better. You might try to find other examples of policy that were changed and how that happened. Mention a fatwā or two regarding FGM, perhaps? Jim1138 (talk) 16:14, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Shouldn't that be "Νεχώς β" or "β Νεχώς", the Greek "β" not the Latin "B"? Jim1138 (talk) 15:30, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Dear Jim1138,

• Α. In Roman numerals is not B, Is II. The letter english B and greek is the same. In English you have the same numerals like us: A, B, C, D etc., See the table in Greek numerals: The little Greek β is only for Byzantine times. The big B’ is for ancient times and for modern times. Now in modern Greece we have the same Greek numerals with classical Greece (see table) but not for all numerals.
• Β.We do not put ‘A for 1st. We put A’
• C. We do not put little α’, β’, γ’, δ’ for kings, pharaoh, etc. only for paragraphs and other uses…
• D. See List of kings of Sparta in English and Greek Κατάλογος βασιλέων της αρχαίας Σπάρτης

Dinoponera + ant task force

Thank you for creating the Dinoponera article, it is a really interesting genus (and also thank you for the thank you :)). You should check out the ant tak force, especially this list of open access articles which I used to expand the Dinoponera main article and species articles. Unfortunately/fortunately I've already reused most of the content from the Dinoponera OA article, but there are many more ant-related open access articles in the list you can choose from. Cheers, jonkerz ♠talk 23:50, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

You did the vast majority of the work here. I copied it from the French Wikipedia fr:Dinoponera. Translated what little non-Latin there was with Google. Perhaps thank the French author! (Looks like they need their 1910 date changed to 1901.) Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 00:54, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

Unlocker Edits

I would ask that you reconsider your reverts of the edits for Unlocker. I believe if you attempted to actually install the software yourself, you would immediately understand my concerns. I have personally used this piece of software for several years. However, on the most recent installation, it has become infested with unavoidable ad-ware. I believe it is a necessary function of one of the most popular websites on the internet to warn potential software users of what they might be getting in to, especially if it has recently changed.

If you would like to correct my edits to something less inflammatory, then please be my guest. However, I would request that the warning nature of my initial edits remain intact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.228.127.12 (talk) 07:46, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia policy requires that it be verifiable. Find a reliable source then cite it. Destructive verification is not a good idea. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 07:51, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

I understand that the need for verifiable sources. However, in the particular case of Unlocker, the verification of its problems is in actually installing it. How can I provide an accurate source for this? Should I create a blog and talk about it? Unfortunately, it seems to be a relatively recent problem, so my Google searches have not turned up other users experiencing similar problems. What is the best way to proceed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.228.127.12 (talk) 08:01, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Can you find an article from PC World or some other magazine that has an article on it? People will want to find the source of the information without having to install Unlocker. One might suspect that you obtained a corrupt version of Unlocker or something. Jim1138 (talk) 08:09, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I think the utility is just small enough to not warrant an article in something like PC World, but useful enough to impact multiple people. I am reasonably confident that I did not download a corrupt version of Unlocker as it is available from the author's website: http://www.emptyloop.com/unlocker/ A Google search turns up several results, but I am not sure if they count as verifiable/reliable: -http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=248573 - Forum post -http://jamesfriesen.net/archives/99/comment-page-1 - Blog post -http://www.ghacks.net/2012/02/20/how-programs-trick-you-into-installing-adware-on-your-computer/ - Describers another piece of ad-ware in Unlocker that I did not personally encounter

I suppose one question is what made the article noteworthy or verifiable in the first place? It is a simple freeware utility that can be downloaded off of the internet and, up until recently (as far as I know), it was relatively clean. Or, at least, you could install it without ad/spy-ware by clicking the correct options. This no longer seems to be the case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.228.127.12 (talk) 08:20, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Primarily avoid self-published sources such as blogs and forums. The reason is that anyone can put much of anything without too much fear of repercussions. The ghacks looks like it would fit that. Avoid sounding too biased wp:npov and be mater-of-fact. I'll leave it alone, but others will likely review it. Good luck. Jim1138 (talk) 08:26, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

I can appreciate not using self-published sources. However, the origin of the article seems to be a self-published source, so how can I respond? It is especially problematic as it is a small-but-useful utility, apparently popular enough to warrant a Wikipedia article, but not large enough to warrant a response from a software reviewer such as Ars Technica or PC World. It is possible they covered it at some point, but its inclusion of software is a recent development. What can I do in this situation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.228.127.12 (talk) 08:34, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

You re referring to Ghacks? Presumably, ghacks has vetted the information and, as any news publisher would be, are putting their reputation on the line regarding the accuracy of their news. So, unless I am missing something, Ghacks should be reputable. I would say this fulfills the wp:v and wp:rs requirements. Thanks for asking. Jim1138 (talk) 08:39, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

The bitcoin entry

Jim,

Thanks for the prompt response. I thought the page needed a reference link to show the reader how one might interact with a bitcoin entity. At this early stage of bitcoins' development it is very significant that this new currency is being started on a face to face basis. Although there are ATM's on the way, historically i think it will be very remarkable, especially for business historians, to see the grass roots level of growth needed to give this new currency a start. Would it be ok to leave this entry as is? Or, were there other coding mistakes that I made?

I appologize for the entry about phenomenolgy. After I was complete I didn't notice any error messages, so I didn't think to check back. Is there something I missed on the code side of the entry?

Thanks again, Eric — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ginot (talk • contribs) 07:57, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Linking to a website that has a "buy" button is generally considered spam except in special cases of references per wp:elno. You might be able to work it in using citations. It would be best to link to a reliable source that discusses the matter rather than the local bitcoin site. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 08:06, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Accountancy page - Need international and morden stuff at the end.

Well the accountancy page refers to the other wikipediapages that the text refers to. Especially I have given a number of pages like invoice and receipt the references to the European union VAT tax directive regulations of these topics. There I have made the external link to the directive text itself. But it is so indirect that it is enough there. For many people in accpounting business the fact that the tax reports are what sets the content in accounting is hard to accept, but it is the fact.

The other texts like that of SIE, XBRL and UN/CEFACT is what is going on today and the development of the work condistions and life as accountant and audit dealing with accantancy and those refers to other wikipedia articles specifically of them. The deveopment of accounting the last 25 years in Europe and especially Sweden that is by far the leadoing nation in compurerised accounting WW is blank on the page.

The stuff of "Accounting in the internet era" is really poor and if you think the development of accounting ended in 1887 the article is out of date.

Please considder moving my text back, please devlop it instead.

I prefere not logging in of personal integrity reasons, if the Wikipedoia wtachdogs like what I write its fine, if not there is nothing I can do in anyway.

But please do not have such a US dominent page of such a common thing WW as accounting?
