Old edit to the WinZip article

Hi Nyp,

just checking the Winzip entry history after some time… could you please explain why you removed all references to the versions of introduction in this edit (note, by the way, that the list item about 128- and 256-bit AES still says "earlier versions", a phrase which is now meaningless)? —Gennaro Prota^•Talk 20:51, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

I felt that it was unnecessary to note at what version a feature was introduced, as using outdated versions is a relatively unusual habit. If I am wrong in this assumption, you're free to revert my changes. I apologize if any grammatical errors were caused by my edit, English is not my first language. --Nyp 02:23, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh, Ok :-) Well, I'm no one to say whether your assumption is "wrong" or not, of course :-) I just find that the information could be useful, especially as it seems that new versions are more and more restrictive in terms of licensing, to the point that someone might well choose to install older ones (and there have been security issues with changes to the AES implementation in version 10 IIRC). PS: No problem for your English, it is not my first language either :-) Cheers, Gennaro Prota^•Talk 17:25, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Destroyer in the Dusk (Gungrave Episode)

Hello. I have remade the Destroyer in the Dusk (Gungrave Episode) a redirect. There are indeed many articles about individual TV episodes. Many of them should similarly be merged (see the guideline WP:FICT) but their existence as sole plot summaries is not inline with our core policy WP:NOT (see the bit about plot summaries). Mind you there are quality articles about individual TV episodes that discuss its importance beyond the sole realm of the TV series. However, this one is not of that kind. Cheers, Pascal.Tesson 02:55, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Umar Patek and the gang

Hi Nyp, about that tacky "7 American citizens" thing, no doubt the origin of it was this: whoever started the Wiki article just copied and pasted text from the American wanted poster: http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/english/index.cfm?page=Patek which understandably spells out how many Americans were killed, but not how many Australians and others. Around here there are a lot of little bios that need work. You should see some of the stuff about Usama bin Ladin that I've deleted. :) LDH 05:04, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Image:VirtualDub 1.7.0.png

I was able to restore the image and I added it back into the article. I deleted the previous versions. Thanks for pointing out my mistake -Regards Nv8200p talk 14:42, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Might be interested

I noticed that you took part in State terrorism by United States of America discussion for deletion. After the article has survived many deletions, you may be interested that there is a user right now who is deleting large portions of the article. 69.150.209.15 17:43, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Striking your vote

Hello Nyp,

Thank you for your interest in the Wikimedia Board Election. The Election Committee regretfully informs you that your previous vote was received in error and will be struck according to the election rules, described below.

The Election Committee regretfully announces today that we will have to remove approximately 220 votes submitted. These votes were cast by people not entitled to vote. The election rules state that users must have at least 400 edits by June 1 to be eligible to vote.

The voter lists we sent to Software in the Public Interest (our third party election partner) initially were wrong, and one of your account was eventually included to our initial list. There was a bug in the edit counting program and the sent list contained every account with 201 or more edits, instead of 400 or more edits. So large numbers of people were qualified according to the software who shouldn't be. The bug has been fixed and an amended list was sent to SPI already.

Our first (and wrong) list contains 80,458 accounts as qualified. The proper number of qualified voters in the SPI list is now 52,750. As of the morning of July 4 (UTC), there are 2,773 unique voters and 220 people, including you, have voted who are not qualified based upon this identified error.

In accordance with voting regulations the Election Committee will strike those approximately 220 votes due to lack of voting eligibility. The list of struck votes is available at https://wikimedia.spi-inc.org/index.php/List_of_struck_votes.

We are aware of the possibility that some of the people affected may have other accounts with more than 400 edits, and hence may still be eligible to vote. We encourage you to consider voting again from another account, if you have one. If you have no other account eligible to vote, we hope you reach the criteria in the next Election, and expect to see your participation to the future Elections.

Your comments, questions or messages to the Committee would be appreciated, you can make them at m:Talk:Board elections/2007/en. Other language versions are available at m:Translation requests/Eleccom mail, 07-05.

Again, we would like to deeply apologize for any inconvenience.

Sincerely,
Kizu Naoko

Orphaned non-free media (Image:WinZip 11 Pro build 7313.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:WinZip 11 Pro build 7313.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:12, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Flashback Forum.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Flashback Forum.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use 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. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk 05:25, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
