List of Prolific Inventors

Hi Edcolins. I wonder if you'd be kind enough to review List of prolific inventors, which is a new article unreviewed since last October. I've done about as much on it as I can think to do at this stage (appart from maintaining it as new patents continue to issue). Thanks in advance, AlexBartlett4 (talk) 10:26, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Edcolins! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 5 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 683 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Request for restoration

Hi, Edcolins. I have an admin request of you. I picked your name more-or-less randomly from the list of admins; I recognized your ID from some articles (mostly IP law) we've both edited.

This morning,I tagged the talk subpage Talk:Melvin T. Brunetti/OfficialObituary, which I had created some time ago, for a {{db-self}} speedy deletion. No problem with that, so far as it goes; the function of subpage was replaced by the original DJVU-converted PDF I'd uploaded to to Wikisource (since moved to Commons). It no longer serves a purpose on Wikipedia.

Except that I was too quick on the deletion trigger; by deleting the subpage, I just realized I deleted the page that took me an afternoon to copy and carefully format, and I want to copy the text to Wikisource.

Could you please restore Talk:Melvin T. Brunetti/OfficialObituary to my user space (or restore in place, and I'll move it to user space), so I can contribute the text back to Wikisource? Thanks. TJRC (talk) 18:59, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect; thanks very much. TJRC (talk) 17:34, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ab initio

Hi Ed, I have been editing disambiguation links with wikicleaner. ab initio was on the list requiring re-direct away from the disambiguation page, If you look at the conversation I had with Pol098 on his page, he pointed a similar error. I was trying to correct it, there was a company called Ab Initio as well that pages were getting re-directed to, I moved the company to a different page to avoid confusion and have been reverting my last edits for Ab initio since then. I am sorry for any inconvenience in the mean time, it was a genuine mistake. Thanks--Theo10011 (talk) 20:02, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to revert some of my edits, the disambiguation page is listed as "Ab initio" with A in ab in uppercase So a correct lowercase term ab initio would revert to the aforementioned page. Even if I revert my edits it wouldn't make a difference, both terms point to the same page regardless of the case. Most of my edits for "ab initio" also became pointless since they were intended to point away from the page, maybe I can try to move the page or create another page.--Theo10011 (talk) 20:25, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply, I got an admin to move the page and separate the disambiguation page now. I also expanded to the main article, maybe you can take a look if you have some free time. Happy editing to you too!--Theo10011 (talk) 16:42, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kamil Eltayed/Eltayeb Idris

Hello Edcolins, and thanks for the pages that you have provided to me.

Concerning the middle name of Kamil Idris;the main problem is that there is no rule for writing the arabic names in other languages, i mean if you have an arabic name and want to write it in english , there is no rule that tells which letter in english is corresponding to that letter in arabic, which lead to a different english writings for the same name.This usualy happens when people try to issue an official papers(mainly passport and certificates) and found that their english name is written in a different way than what they used to do.As an example,the name( Mohammed,Muhamed,Mohamed,Mohamad,Muhamat).

Eltayed/Eltayeb:

In Sudan, the name Eltayed(الطيد) is not exist, the known name is Eltayeb(الطيب) which some times is written in English as(Altayeb,Eltayib,Altayib), and that is the middle name of Kamil Idris. I think Eltayed is just a mis-typing in the provided referencen.

In Sudan people do not use the First/Middle/Last name system . Instead the official registering use a Four Name system , which implies that one should be registered using his given name/father given name/ grandfather given name/his father's grandfather given name. as example ,my registered name is Yezeed Jafar Ali Satti, and this is the name which i use in the official papers(passport,id,driving license...etc). Where the registered name of Dr. kamil Idris is Kamil Eltayeb Idris Abdelhafeez.

When people form Sudan comes to the western contries, where they must follow the First/Surname name system; some of them use their forth name as a Surname name and their 2nd and 3rd names as a middle names, as what I a did:

First: Yezeed
Middle: Jafar Ali
Surname: Satti

Other people ignore the forth name and use only three, as what Kamil Idris did

First: Kamil
Middle: Eltayeb
Surname: Idris

The reference which i found for Eltayed/Eltayeb are all in Arabic and can not be used hare .The English ones are even more worse , where it write the name like this(Altayib), but i will keep searching for an official and if i found any i will add it to the references list.

Biography of Roland Grossenbacher

Dear Edcolins, you asked me, why I had been deleting Mr. Grossenbachers middle name. First there is a typing error, Edouart instead of correctly Edouard. Further on, the changes (not mentioning his middle name at all) had been made in accordance with Mr. Grossenbacher himself. As an employee of the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property, I ask you to accept my changes on the biography of Mr. Grossenbacher. Thank you!

Facebook patent

Ed, have you looked at Facebook's newsfeed patent US patent 7669123? It seems to me that claim 1 reads on a Wikipedia watch page. Were these around before 2005? (earliest priority date)--Nowa (talk) 02:53, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Invention

Hi Edcolins. I just found http://ukcatalogue.oup.com/product/9780199296941.do with a most recent intro to the term invention and with reference to G_3/08 and Bilski. At present I have not more than the introduction from that book and I don't know, where to mention it, but I suppose you might have an idea. --Swen (talk) 08:51, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
