Article movement[edit]

Howdy, Gamester17

Did you realize that by copying and pasting Xbox Media Center, rather than clicking "move" at the top of the page, there is now no page/editing history for the article? You might want to read Help:Moving_a_page#Page_histories. I would suggest that the content be moved back to Xbox Media Center and an administrative move be requested via Wikipedia:Requested_moves. Regards! —Mrand ^{Talk • C} 21:36, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and undid the page move and when I have a few seconds to do so, will request an administrative move.—Mrand ^{Talk • C} 02:14, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No I did not realize that. What about the changes I made to the new XBMC article after I did the copying and pasting? Gamester17 (talk) 10:22, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They were integrated into the article and the editing history was merged - no worries. —Mrand ^{Talk • C} 14:01, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thanks! Sorry about generating more work for you! Gamester17 (talk) 16:44, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

BOXEE article deletion?[edit]

Hell Stifle, why what my BOXEE article deleted? I just created and was not even close to finished before it was deleted. I do not agree with your "Web content which doesn't indicate its importance or significance)" comment, if so then you might as well delete all articles in Wikipedia about open source software. Again, I was still writing the article and were going to add many references but you did not give me a chance, here are some to start with:

PS! I am one of the project managers of XBMC, the open source software that BOXEE is based upon Gamester17 (talk) 11:19, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While I'm happy to answer questions, it looks like your question could have been answered and resolved more quickly if you had used my message wizard. It's linked as "Talk" after my name and at the top of my talk page. Why not try it next time?

I notice that you referred to an article as belonging to you. Please be aware that nobody owns any articles on Wikipedia.

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article BOXEE, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you.

I have restored the article so that you can improve it and add those references. I'll check back later. Stifle (talk) 11:21, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I will make sure to exercise great caution when editing the article, (I will especially make sure that it only contain facts and not make it sound promotianal or commerialized in BOXEEs or XBMC's favour). Gamester17 (talk) 13:35, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect of TheTVDB[edit]

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on TheTVDB, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because TheTVDB is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting TheTVDB, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click here CSDWarnBot (talk) 14:51, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Themoviedb.org[edit]

A tag has been placed on Themoviedb.org requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Non-dropframe (talk) 15:22, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article about themoviedb.org is at least as important and relative as IMDb.com as it is a non-commercial alternative to the IMDb.com website. So in my humble opinion, if you delete the article about themoviedb.org then you might as well just have to delete the article about IMDb.com or it would be very unfair, allowing a article about a commercial online movie database website but not allowing an article about a non-commercial alternative to it. Gamester17 (talk) 15:41, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I do not understand, why exactly it is not notable if it is a non-commercial alternative to [[IMDb.com]?, (do I have to note down unique features as such or? because yes the site does have unique features such as the GPL API, and Fan Art, but I was hoping that the GPL API is unique enough to be notable, I was hoping that others will add more information about Fan Art and other features if you just give it a chance with some time, I hope you do not mean that I am going to have to write the whole article on my own, I thought it was enough that I started a base that others could add to) Gamester17 (talk) 16:01, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Read WP:N, our notability guideline. That should answer your questions. AKRadecki^Speaketh 16:38, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I read it and already posted my dispute argument in Talk:TheTVDB.com before you deleted that too, please undelete the TheTVDB.com article and its talk page Talk:TheTVDB.com and really read though it. I feel that I given a good enough argument for you not to delete in in he its talk page Talk:TheTVDB.com and I think that the TheTVDB.com article itself as it was just before deletion speaks by itself why it should not be deleted. Please read it a comment in the its talk page Talk:TheTVDB.com instead of just deleting it. If you do not agree with this then please inform me how I can escalate this dispute if I plan to contest your decision which as you could have read on Talk:TheTVDB.com I clearly do not agree with Gamester17 (talk) 16:46, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Did you really read WP:N? If you did, you would understand that the only argument you should be making is by providing the required evidence of notability by means of refs to reliable sources in the article. You didn't, rather you simply posted an argument on the talk page, which didn't meet standards. Your arguments were that if another article exists, then this one should too. It was an argument from you idea of fairness, not Wikipedia's idea of notability. Justify, via our policies, why this is notable, and there won't be an issue. It makes me curious what your connection to the website is. If you really feel this strongly, you're always welcome to take this to WP:DRV. AKRadecki^Speaketh 16:52, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I do not think that you read ALL of my replies in Talk:TheTVDB.com, it sounds as if you only read my first comments and not any of my successive comments, especially as you ask me about my connection to the site which was also asked by someone else in Talk:TheTVDB.com and I already answered it there, (if you where wondering if I am affiliated with the site then the answer is; no. I am a registered end-user of the site just like I am of wikipedia, and I am also project manager of XBMC which is just one out of many open source media center software applications that uses TheTVDB.com database though the API mentioned in the article, (as it also states on TheTVDB.com front page, which I why I felt I knew enough about it to start an article on wikipedia about it, the reason I feel strongly about it is because it honestly pisses me of that you just delete an article that I spent hours writing, it makes me question why I or anyone for that matter should bother contributing to wikipedia). Now I will bed angry and annoyed. My 2 cents Gamester17 (talk) 17:11, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I did read everything there, including the fact that people repeatedly told you how notability is established (through refs to independent sources) and you still didn't get the message. I'm sorry you're pissed off, but maybe you should have spent some of that time actually reading our policies. You can't argue that a subject is important, it just doesn't work. Notability is the key, here, and it's been explained many times to you how that is met. AKRadecki^Speaketh 17:19, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of File:BOXEE Main Screen.png[edit]

A tag has been placed on File:BOXEE Main Screen.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

NowCommons: File:10footUI.png[edit]

File:10footUI.png is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:10footUI.png. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:10footUI.png]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 08:48, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

HTPC and Media Center[edit]

I get your point. What I propose, and have started doing, is building out a section dedicated to modern convergence devices and applications. I think we can also reduce some of the details around HTPC "how to" and modernized the Media Center evolution. Mattnad (talk) 19:55, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The fact still remains that "HTPC" is specific PC hardware, and "Media center" are not bound to any specific hardware, thus it would be more logical if "HTPC" was a subsection of "Media center" then the reverse (like it is today). So while I can agree that "HTPC" can be a sub-category under a "Media center" article, I do not agree that there should not be "Media center" article.

Orphaned non-free image File:BOXEE Logo.png[edit]

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:BOXEE Logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk 04:06, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited CuBox, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page CESA (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Non-free rationale for File:FXI Tech Cotton Candy Prototype.png[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:FXI Tech Cotton Candy Prototype.png.

Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

Replaceable fair use File:SolidRun CuBox Functional Block Diagram.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:SolidRun CuBox Functional Block Diagram.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy.

Improper page move[edit]

Hello, Gamester17

I noticed that you made a page move between Digital media player and Digital Media Player via copy and paste instead of standard move channel. This, however, must never happen as it entails a serious copyright violation. (Text in Wikipedia is licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0 or GFDL, thus, proper attribution chain must never break.) I will notify an administrator to perform cleanup, but in the future, please never do that again.

Oh, and by the way, please study MOS:CAPS to find out when and how words should be capitalized in Wikipedia.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.
