Mindmatrix, I wanted to let you know about a DYK requirement that has been instituted since you last submitted a nomination: the quid pro quo (QPQ) requirement. Basically, once you have had five nominations approved—and though it's been a while, you've had more than that number appear on the main page—you have to do a full review of someone else's nomination in order for your own to get a full review and be approved. I've left some links about DYK reviewing and rules on the nomination template; when you've completed the review, just add a link (like the one in the subject line above) to the template you reviewed. You can choose any nomination still needing review on the [[T:TDYK]] page. Thanks, and let me know if you have any questions about the QPQ process or DYK reviewing in general.

You are removing a useful resource to this article because you claim the resource is "promotion for a website for sale". Note the following two rebuttals: (1) The resource is a thoroughly researched article, based on multiple sources, which adds valuable complementary information to the Wiki article in question, and (2) simply because the resource states in a single line, located at the bottom of the page, below the disclaimer, that the site may be for sale, doesn't in any way alter the primary mission of the resource: to provide quality information. Keep in mind: ALL WEBSITES ARE FOR SALE. If this resource really was simply a "promotion for a website for sale", wouldn't the offer be more conspicuous?

==MySQL "promotional" link...== |
|||
Dear Mindmatrix: I would ask you to reconsider (and reverse) your deletion of the link I added to the MySQL page. Yes- I wrote the page. Yes- there are links there to other things I've done... but there is COMTENT on the page, relevant to people wanting to know more about MySQL. I am delighted that Wikipedia is not full of.... "stuff"... taking us to pages where people are trying to sell things. But I use Wikipedia to FIND OUT about things, to learn... and I imagine that is what most people use it for. How does the material you took down the link to contravene that spirit? [[User:Tkbwik|Tkbwik]] ([[User talk:Tkbwik|talk]]) 14:00, 12 March 2013 (UTC) |
|||
:Your site is decent, so referring to it as "promotional" may have been excessive. However, external links should satisfy criteria in WP policies and guidelines, especially [[WP:EL]] and [[WP:ELNO]]; in particular, they should elaborate on the subject. A HOWTO or installation guide fails that criteria, and there are far too many of them on the internet to warrant including links to them in the article. <font color="#8b4513">[[User:Mindmatrix|Mind]]</font><font color="#ee8811">[[User_talk:Mindmatrix|matrix]]</font> 14:23, 12 March 2013 (UTC) |
|||
::Thank you for your response. I have (so far) reviewed WP:EL. In that is says.... external links should be considered for sites which "contain neutral and accurate material that is relevant to an encyclopedic understanding of the subject". If you re-read my pages, you will find that they are much more than "click this/ click that" "how tos". I go out of my way to explain WHY the aspiring user should click this or that, so that they may //understand// the thing they are working with, in this case, MySQL, the subject of the article. I would arue that my pages do "elaborate"... if anything, too much. |
|||
::I have also reviewed the other resource you suggested, the "don't link to..." criteria. Do you maintain that any other than #11 apply? I agree that there are many poor "personal web page" articles on the web... and would cheer to see links to them removed. Hoe=wever, I get 10,000 visits per week to my pages about understanding and using databases. Are there really that many people out there who are duped into wasting their time on an "inaccurate" or "un-useful" source of information? Is the Google search engine really so faulty? |
|||
::When I need to know about something myself, I frequently turn to Wikipedia, in particular the (scrutinized and weeded) "External Links" lists. Are you saying that I should look elsewhere to learn mopre about topics covered by Wikipedia? Are you saying that someone who studied the pages I tried to link to from the WP MySQL page wouldn't learn more about MySQL there? {{Unsigned|Tkbwik}} |
|||
:::It's probably best to discuss external link additions for [[MySQL]] at [[Talk:MySQL|the article's talk page]]. Usually, links that describe installation, configuration, or usage are rejected, and I suspect your link will be too. BTW: when I said 'elaborate', I meant on the subject's history, design, goals, etc., not on techniques for its use. Moreover, as you said, there are many poor guides on this topic, but there are also plenty of good ones; [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not|Wikipedia is not]] a web directory, and will likely not include any of them. Your HOWTO seems good from a quick skim of its contents, but that is rarely material to inclusion on WP. :::Finally, thank you for engaging in discussion instead of complaining. <font color="#8b4513">[[User:Mindmatrix|Mind]]</font><font color="#ee8811">[[User_talk:Mindmatrix|matrix]]</font> 16:16, 14 March 2013 (UTC) |

== Whitespace == |
|||
Hi. What was your rational for changing some instances of period-space-space to period-space in [[Wide-angle lens]] as part of your [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wide-angle_lens&curid=195698&diff=547826751&oldid=544381359 recent edit]? I'm not aware of any Wikipedia policy or guideline that prefers one over the other and the number of spaces after a period has no effect whatsoever on the rendering of the page: the period at the end of this sentence has a huge block of whitespace after it but that space renders just like any other. Most of what you did in that edit was very helpful and definitely improved the article but, in my opinion, changing the inter-sentence whitespace has no benefits and clutters up the diff, making it harder for other editors to check what substantive changes were made. [[User:Dricherby|Dricherby]] ([[User talk:Dricherby|talk]]) 08:13, 31 March 2013 (UTC) |
|||
:The spaces certainly don't matter when the text is rendered and displayed on a browser, but it certainly affects display on other media. There are mirrors and forks, for which the issue is not particularly relevant, and other users of the content that create derivative works for print, for which whitespace is an issue. Should Wikipedians be concerned with this? Probably not, but its not difficult to pay attention to small details like this. I prune excessive whitespace where I can, usually using the Advisor.js tool. <font color="#8b4513">[[User:Mindmatrix|Mind]]</font><font color="#ee8811">[[User_talk:Mindmatrix|matrix]]</font> 15:15, 31 March 2013 (UTC) |

== Open-source hardware modifications == |
|||
Hi, |
|||
You have deleted the contribution I have proposed on the "Open-source hardware" page. You said that it is a promotional link, but it is not "a promotional link" at all. It is a new information provided to the community that something is moving also concerning open Hardware in the area of embedded and critical systems. So, Open source is not dedicated only for general purpose products but also begins to be used in ones where human life is engaged. It is a much more complex problem because assurance design is imperative here, life cycle of expected products is more than 15 years and the way data and knowledge are shared is much more difficult than in other initiatives. That is what I wanted to illustrate in the sentence ...ways to collaborate in hardware development, as well as a model for sustainable development [14]... Which is a minimum link I could propose on this new international subject. |
|||
The initiative has begun in France in 2009; a new stage is proposed for this common cause with an international visibility offered to who would like to join. Wikipedia seemed to be a good way to inform interested people but maybe I was wrong. |
|||
Deleting the purpose has been done maybe a little bit too quick. Could you re-consider your position? I am new on Wikipedia and maybe the way to introduce my purpose was not the good one. I didn't want to be too much intrusive for a first post on Wikipedia, that is why I have tried to be soft in the link proposed. |
|||
Again tell me if I was wrong. If not, thank you in advance to publish again the information proposed. |
|||
Cheers, |

== King City Weather radar == |
|||
The mention to the detection of asteroids by this weather radar has removed by an Environment Canada IP user. Since I'm working for the Canadian Weather Service, I asked my contact at the radar what was the truth about this and he confirmed that CWKR is not related to the NEODyS program. The discovery of those asteroids has been done probably by one of the finve astronomical observatories near King City (http://www.touristlink.com/canada/king-city/cat/observatories.html). |
|||
I am therefore removing all links in article between asteroids and Knig City radar. |

==Commissioning editor== |
|||
I have removed several internal links you have added to those articles which are on my watch list. The article you have linked to refers solely to book publishing, and is thus not applicable to people working in television. While it is true the new commissioning model of Britain's [[Channel 4]] thirty years ago was compared to book publishing, unlike the then practices of the BBC (or, I assume, your own Canadian Broadcasting Corporation), the term is perhaps sufficiently self-explanatory not to need a link to any article. The publishing model of Channel 4 is explained in the relevant article under [[Channel 4#Programming|Programming]], and any addition to the 'Commissioning editor' piece, to explain other uses of the term, plus a revert, might be unnecessarily convoluted.

==Canadian Firearms Registry== |

Greetings. I see there was a minor edit kerfuffle on the [[Canadian Firearms Registry]] article relating to compliance figures provided by LUFA (30%) and others posted on the CBC (75%). Given the wide variations, I thought it reasonable that both sides of the debate be mentioned - there are widely divergent opinions as to how many guns and gun owners there are in the country. I added a reference from the Coalition for Gun Control that states 90% of firearms were registered.

== Adding Canada Day Festival to City of Orillia == |
|||
Hi Mindmatrix, you removed Canada Day Festival from the City of [[Orillia]] page? The [[Canada Day]] Festival is the largest free festival in the city, Mariposa Folk Festival would be the largest but it is not a free event. In 2012 and 2009 they even had the Snowbirds put on an airshow which made the Canada Day celebration a two day event and attracted 40,000 people. The festival has a long rich history in Orillia and in 2017 will be the highlight of Orillia's and Canada's 150 year anniversary. The festival is put on by the Citizens of Orillia and has strong community and city support. Much of the Canada Day Festival is tradition within the city, such as the Mayor and Council serving breakfast. Or the large Canada Day cake, largest enough for 2,000 pieces of cake. The Canada Day Festival attracts between 15 to 20 thousand people for the event and has over 300 volunteers. The festival provides free activities for kids and fireworks at night. But it is the only festival not listed on the Orillia Wikipedia page. You removed it as "(revert - not needed)" please reconsidered listing the Canada Day Festival. |

Third, your book doesn't appear to have been referenced or reviewed by reliable third-party publications. To be honest, it just appears to be promotional.
