Somedays I'm really annoyed at Wikipedia for the restrictions now placed on anonymous users. Only one article that I would've started and worked on has been made in the past 6 months - and I don't think the user actually fulfilled the request made on the request page. There've been three redirects made.

submit | request an article: tech & tools lists
Peeps: business | nat. scientists | social sciences ( historical figures) | math | other

Articles deleted or unadded to Wikipedia

I've decided the best plan of action is to just add content on my personal talk page. That prevents any issues with the deletionists.

Demonoid

Demonoid is one of the most used BitTorrent trackers in the world (2007) [3]. It was apparently created by an anonymous Yugoslavian known only as Deimos[citation needed]. The site's indexed external torrents and Demonoid-tracked torrents are easily found on other BitTorrent search engines.

The website features a publicly accessible search engine, although membership is required to download more than 3 torrents per week or to download torrent files older than a few days. Registration traditionally opened every Friday (GMT), but plans were announced on March 3, 2007 to open registration on a monthly rather than a weekly schedule in the future. Existing users in good standing have the ability to send invitation codes to others during closed registration.

Although Demonoid removed torrents over a year old on August 4, 2006 to free tracker resources, the site has over 168,035 user submitted torrents indexed as of June 13, 2007.

Demonoid technically does not require that a good upload/download ratio be maintained by its users. If a good ratio is not maintained, Demonoid will not automatically ban the user. According to the moderators of the site, this is due to the extra resources which would be required to track all of the users' ratios, as well as the difficulty of tracking external usage. Although ratio limits are requested by many users in the site's suggestion forums, the staff of Demonoid have made it very clear that this will not happen, and discussion will not be entered into regarding this topic.

Demonoid categorizes torrents under either Anime, Applications, Audio Books, Books, Comics, Games, Miscellaneous, Movies, Music, Music Videos, Pictures, or TV. Many categories have various subcategories or divisions that allow a search to be more specific.

It features RSS technologies with different feeds for each category and sub category to keep users aware of the latest torrent posted on the site.

Talk To Me

Sting

Its completely your choice, but you are actually more "anonymous" if you create a user name. Forgive me if you already know this, but with a username, only very priviledged users can see your IP address. All other information about you is under your control.

While I don't have enough information to say whether Sting (gamer) deserves an article, I'm of the opinion it shouldn't go into the dab page until his notability can be established within Wikipedia. (John User:Jwy talk) 18:38, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
