Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Comparison of web server software, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Mootros (talk) 21:19, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Comparison of web server software do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of HAProxy

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on HAProxy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. PhGustaf (talk) 00:01, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 14:51, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. MrOllie (talk) 15:47, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:

1. Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Kuru (talk) 23:01, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Rupy

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Rupy, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. ceradon (talk • contribs) 10:00, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Rupy

The article Rupy has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

HTTP server with no claim in article of meeting the notability guideline. Good faith google search not turning up reliable, independent sources showing this is notable.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Your draft article, Draft:Async-to-async (programming)

Hello, Raywalk. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Async-to-async".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. ―Abelmoschus Esculentus 09:04, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your message. If you have a conflict of interest regarding this topic, you must declare it. Please read the guidance below:

• you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to an affiliated organisation or company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, logs, github, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company or organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls. Your only verified facts are the release dates. A message higher up this page indicated that this topic doesn't meet those criteria, and there is little chance of a viable article.
• You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews. Claims without independent third-party verification include first HTTP server with on-the-network NIO async-to-async thread handling... Another unique feature is the PaaS Virtual Host
• There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
• You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. You must also reply to the COI request above.

Here is your text with the external links removed and the current reflist template.

Rupy is the first HTTP server with on-the-network NIO thread handling. It also has an integrated HTTP JSON File System Distributed Database: Another unique feature is the PaaS Virtual Host Distributed Hotdeploy.

First released in 2008, version 1.0 was released in 2013.

Most notably used by the 20.000+ users MMO through it's [sic] multiplayer implementation LGPL Java Source:

You are right, I sent you the article, not the draft, sorry

Rupy

Written in	Java
Type	Application server
License	LGPL
Website	github.com/tinspin/rupy

Rupy is an asynchronous application server built to allow hosting of services with shared code and data across continents; with an integrated distributed async-to-async JSON file database and async. application hot-deployment, both over HTTP.

Rupy also uses its multi-threaded non-blocking IO and comet-stream. for massively concurrent real-time routing over HTTP. One example of this is a MMO that uses HTTP as the only protocol for all data, including movement.

Rupy is also used as the embedded web-server for the Minecraft mapping tool JourneyMap

Rupy was also tested in research by KTH on non-blocking network solutions.

References

You can't establish notability without proper sources. Your first three refs are a dead link that looks like an interview, a tweet and release notes, and the journal mention on its own isn't enough. You need more mentions in better sources as indicated in my first post.

Meadow isn't mentioned in this version, and again the number of customers isn't verified. I'm not sure how useful it is anyway. A similar example is social media influencers claiming notability based on number of followers, but it doesn't matter if they have a million, it's mentions in proper RS sources that count Jimfbleak - talk to me? 09:16, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

You must declare your COI by posting {{Paid|user=Raywalk|company=Rupy}} as you see it here at user:Raywalk and saving

An article is judged by what is written in the text, a mention in the reference isn't part of the text.

The article isn't protected from recreation, so deletion isn't necessarily permanent, and you have the deleted text

Do you have a diff for the Mr Ollie point, I can't see it on the page

For RS follow the independent verifiable sources link in my first post

Thanks for the archive link, an interview isn't RS, we want to know what independent third-party sources say, not what the company says

Wikipedia fosters trust by insisting on provable facts verified by independent sources, I block at least 10 accounts every day where usually undisclosed company editors are blatantly using Wikipedia as free advertising. I'm not accusing you of that, but you need to understand that we must have editing standards Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:30, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Rupy (August 22)

Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by Majavah was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: Ref 1 does not load for me. Refs 2 and 3 aren't reliable sources and do not count because notability is not inherited. Ref 4 might be usable, but I do not find that WP:GNG is met as it requires multiple reliable sources, not just one. I am rejecting this submission instead of declining because according to its authors talk page this draft has been repeatedly submitted without making any improvements. You may continue improving this article, especially by adding reliable sources but you are not allowed to re-submit this draft without permission from the Articles for Creation help desk. Thank you.

Concern regarding Draft:Rupy

Hello, Raywalk. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Rupy, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.

Unfortunately, your comments on a Hacker News post are considered user-generated content, which is generally unacceptable on Wikipedia. We're looking for reliable, independent, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy—scholarship, books, news media, etc. from reputable publishers. In addition, if you have a conflict of interest, you should let other editors add this kind of content. Woodroar (talk) 22:24, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Use of user page

A Wikipedia user page is for someone who is active in working for the project to give a little information about themself in connection with their work for the encyclopaedia: it is not a place to post any other kind of material. Your current user page is being used to publicise information about a subject unrelated to work for Wikipedia; it is contrary to both the user page guidelines and the policy on promotion. JBW (talk) 16:35, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia's notability guidelines, and other matters

• Hello Raywalk. I have been looking at your editing history, and I see that you have been experiencing problems, and it looks as though those problems have in some ways led to frustration. I offer you the following comments, in the hope they may be helpful to you.
• Personally, I am not a great lover of Wikipedia's notability guidelines; there are other criteria for notability which I would like to be included, but which aren't. It is clear from reading various comments of yours that you too don't much like the current notability guidelines. You are, of course, perfectly free to try to get the notability guidelines changed, if you like, but as long as they exist in their present form we have to accept them as they are, not as we would prefer them to be. I think there is a good case for number of users among the criteria for notability, but as you must know by now it isn't included, nor does being beneficial or worthwhile. Considering the amount of discussion you have been involved in over the years, it seems likely that you are aware of those facts, but if you need any clarification then you may like to read part or all of the notability guidelines. (In my opinion there are far too many guidelines, and most of them are far too long and complicated, but just the general notability guideline is enough to give the essential points.)
• When you post answers to what another editor has said, it is worth checking what you have written before you save it, and making sure that it does actually address what that editor said. For example, I see that you once posted a question about an editor trusting the truth behind a statement, but that editor had not expressed any opinion on truth or untruth of what you had said; they had just questioned whether the subject under discussion satisfies Wikipedia's notability guidelines, which is a very different matter.
• Almost all your editing has been dedicated to trying to use Wikipedia to publicise "Rupy". There are several reasons why that is not a very good idea, including the following. As has by now been made clear to you, Rupy does not satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines. (Whether it satisfies your or my ideas as to what should be considered notable is a different matter.) Using Wikipedia to gain publicity for a project in which you are personally involved is contrary to the guideline on conflict of interest, and at least arguably contrary to the policy on promotion.
• You may like to re-read some of your messages to other editing, and consider whether you could have expressed them differently. Most of them come across as personal criticisms or polemics against the editors to whom they are addressed, rather than as friendly attempts to discuss matters and to ask for help.
• My impression is that, unfortunately, your attempts to use Wikipedia to publish information about Rupy are likely to cime to nothing, so it may be a better idea to abandon those attempts, and instead to put any time and effort you put into Wikipedia into other areas, where those efforts have a greater likelihood of being successful.

I have spent a significant amount of time in composing this message, and obviously I hope that some or all of what I have said may be helpful to you. (Otherwise of course I wouldn't have written it.) However, if you think any of what I have written needs clarification, please let me know. JBW (talk) 17:34, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

My problem is that you have no fixed rules for what is notable except: you need to be rich. You ARE the problem with the world. Rich people make bad things that are destroying the world, poor people make good things that save the world but nobody knows or cares about them because they wont make you rich.

Money is war. Wikipedia IS the problem. Be the solution. Raywalk (talk) 00:12, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure that telling me that I am the problem is helpful. As for being rich, if you look around you will find plenty of people who aren't at all rich who are the subjects of Wikipedia articles. However, the essential point is clear enough: you fundamentally disagree with the ethos of Wikipedia, and have no intention of fitting into Wikipedia's way of working. Obviously that means that Wikipedia is not the place for you, but there are, of course, other websites where you can publicise your work. JBW (talk) 11:02, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
