job scheduler software

Based on others remarks this doesn't seem to be the first time. You seem to have arbitrarily removed my link (and others) from the list of job scheduler software. I'm not sure why you have done this. Since this just a simple list of software I don't see how you can simply remove people's links for no reason. I will continue to undo your work unless you give me a perfectly valid reason why you are removing my link (which I doubt you have). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.19.209.154 (talk) 20:26, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Links normally to be avoided point 20 is quite clear, we do not include external links in list articles. - MrOllie (talk) 20:38, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Text Messaging Short codes needs a viable commercial use example

Greetings MrOllie,

You were right in removing my patent reference, I should have known better and done a better job on that edit. Sorry about that one. But I feel you removed to much.

Text Messaging Short codes needs a viable commercial use example or the reader will not understand the unique technological uses currently being developed.
I do realize by adding an example it would appear on face value as promotional material or a conflict of interest issue, however other sections cite companies by name and explain what they do and is allowed... Vodafone, Boost Mobile, J-Phone's "SkyMail" and NTT Docomo's "Short Mail" to name a few.
I used GoIP Global, Inc. (GO800) as the example because they are the only company in the world using short codes to replace 1-800 numbers and URL's, a topic everyone can relate to and understand.
Perhaps we can come to an agreement as to how this example can be used.
I will add the example again, wording it the best I can, I do have to cite the company by name or it will be unreferenced information. I will create a seperate GoIP Global, Inc. and GO800 WIKI page and link to that like the other companies referenced in Text Messaging.

Sincerely,

Hightectexter —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hightectexter (talk • contribs) 14:30, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Just find an independent reference (a newspaper article which isn't a press release reprint would work) and we can use it. I would also make sure that you have such references in hand before creating a new article, or it is quite likely that that article would be deleted. - MrOllie (talk) 14:32, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Hightectexter Thank you MrOllie, I will do the best I can. One problem with referencing this topic is most print media has not picked up on the story. Probably because technology has cost them much business and forced many in the print news media to enter bankruptcy or shutdown because people are going high-tech digital for news.
Text Messaging short codes represents a new powerful competitor in their industry, so it seems they try not to publish articles on the topic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hightectexter (talk • contribs) 15:56, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Frankly speaking, if the wider media has not picked up the story then it does not belong in Wikipedia. Wikipedia is for reporting what secondary sources say, not for publicizing new information. - MrOllie (talk) 16:38, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Hightectexter Thank you for the reminder.
Do you think this secondary source reference Article would be acceptable?
Ecommercetimes.com

I didn't use it at first because of the advertisement they toss up before a person reads the articles published. This is where I first learned of GO800 using Text Messaging short codes to replace 1-800 numbers. They are like the Huffington Post, news organization, just internet based. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hightectexter (talk • contribs) 17:14, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Where Can We Put Lists?

I have noticed there are many examples of lists on Wikipedia, especially for tv shows, but can we create an article for list of test equipment, or is there another wikipedia related site that we could enter these types of lists that you removed from Serial Peripheral Interface Bus and then reference in this wiki article. Sbmeirow (talk) 19:31, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

The external links guideline tells us that lists of external links such as the one I removed shouldn't really be anywhere on Wikipedia. You could try dmoz.org, though. - MrOllie (talk) 19:05, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Reliability Topics on Wikipedia

I suppose you are not a reliability engineer. The links I add or change are relevant to the education and practices of individuals interested in reliability enigeering. The links are certainly neutral and informative.

I do not see any reason for the changes you have made. If you are a reliability engineer please explain your rational.

ASQ-Reliability-Div 2010-10-18 ASQ-Reliability-Div (talk) 02:41, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Please see the guidelines on conflict of interest and external links. From your talk page I see others have provided links to these for you before. - MrOllie (talk) 14:01, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Deleting predict x

Dude, whats the problem here? I am part of the founder team and we are running a non-profit project. Theres nothhing spammy or advertising-orientated about the article, nor the link on prediction markets. I have outlined my field of interest/activity on my user page. To be honest, I`m not quite sure why some random dudes delete articles without providing clear reasons. "Read this general blabla on spam and this stuff on conflict on interest" does not help at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Quasimodo14 (talk • contribs) 16:04, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

The problem is that Wikipedia is not a place to put up an article about a website that just launched last week and has no independently written sources that would allow it to meet our guidelines about what should have an article. - MrOllie (talk)

Reequest for review

There is a need for more editors to review Tape Wrangler and to consider Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tape Wrangler Rlsheehan (talk) 13:15, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Behavior Driven Development

Hi - saw that you removed the list of Tools from this article - I' like to put the list back because it is pretty useful and there are lots of other places where lists of tools occur. Edit this page to to tell me what you think. 82.13.26.197 (talk) 18:07, 21 October 2010 (UTC)tyroneking

If you have noticed another lots of other lists of external links like that, please let me know where they are. Per the guideline on external links we are not supposed to have lists like that. - MrOllie (talk) 18:08, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Bird feeding page

I was curious why you deleted the recent changes I made to the Bird Feeding article? The Bird Feeding article is tagged with “This article needs additional citations for verification.” Thus, I was adding text and three citations that would strengthen the article. 216.125.125.135 (talk) 18:47, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

See also links are emphatically not citations. - MrOllie (talk) 18:50, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

The changes I made were deleted before I could add the citations. I would like to re-add my changes and citations, and will refrain from adding the see also links. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Luvsnature (talk • contribs) 19:21, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Pompeii Changes

Just wondering about a couple of reverts done by you to my additions to Pompeii articles.

On 22 Sept you reverted information I added to the Conservation Issues of Pompeii and Herculaneum regarding recent changes to the Large Theatre.

On 22 Sept you reverted an external link I added to 3D models of Pompeii Pmolsen (talk) 22:50, 21 October 2010 (UTC) Pmolsen (talk) 22:51, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
