Coda size limits

Concerning facts without attribution (see Coda (file system) and volume size limits), I'd rather like people just to add "citation needed" tags (which are constructive) instead of simply reverting (which is kind of rude). BTW in this particular case, an (explained) statement about Coda's maximum volume size was present in older versions of the article but was removed without notice by someone doing refactoring. I find this "style before facts" tendency a bit odd (not that it matters a lot though). -- NotInventedHere 09:31, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Well, I reverted it because Coda is a network file system — I wouldn't expect it to have any size limits like normal file systems do, and as I couldn't go and verify it due to the lack of a source, I reverted it. Rude or not, I found it very dubious. -- intgr 16:42, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Optical Carrier

Hi Intgr, just thought I'd stop by and just let you know, a few days back I filed a note on WP:COI/N regarding the Optical Carrier article, I think this is why Cyberdyneinc had the message on their talk page, I actually posted a message advising of the post, but it was later blanked out without response (see [1]), just thought I'd stop by and let you know, and wondering if you might want to post your own 2cents on the COI in question. --NigelJ ^{talk SIMPLE} 10:44, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Agnix

Deletion is fine with me. I didn't create the article, I don't mind, I just stumbled upon it when looking through some categories, and cleaned it up some and linked some words. -- Frap 13:19, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Right. I just contacted you since I couldn't find any other logged-on users who had made more than a single edit. -- intgr 13:24, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

re: Alpha Five

I just started on the article today and you want to play tit for tat on notability? Give me a chance to build the article and post my references. Alpha Five has been around longer then Filemaker Pro and Access, and they've sold over 1 million copies. Over the years it was more popular then the now dead Paradox. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by PeetMoss (talk • contribs).

Sorry; fair enough — but in the future, you probably want to establish notability before adding links to prevalent templates, such as Template:Databases. -- intgr 04:52, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

dirty bird

look, i just created the dirty bird page, give me some time to finish it ok.--Notenderwiggin 05:14, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Then place a {{hangon}} on it and establish notability. -- intgr 05:16, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I placed a hangon (sorry, I have never created a page before and usually just add to pages that have already been created) I have references to Now magazine and the tropper website, is that sufficient notablity? I know they have been interviewed in Absolute Underground, but I dont have the print references handy. Because they are a punk band even though they are well-established there isn't a lot of print media referencs to them.--Notenderwiggin 05:58, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Err, none of the links would appear to be a "non-trivial published work" — these are normally reliable, secondary sources. Did you read the general notability guideline as well as notability of music?

If there aren't enough secondary sources for the article then they are simply not content for Wikipedia — encyclopedia articles should be primarily based on secondary sources. You can read the attribution policy for more details. -- intgr 06:12, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

I did read your links, the probelm is that a lot of the secondary references are print punk magazines which I don't have handy now. If you look at the other punk bands in canada music, most of them have way worse references, this page is already above the standard of other punk bands for refereces. Give me a week or so to get better ones.--Notenderwiggin 06:19, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
