Sandboxing in Xorg

First and foremost, references in Wikipedia are not for explaining things but for supporting claims. They must point out to reliable sources so the article can comply with Wikipedia:Verifiability. In that regard, self-published sources are considered not reliable (or else anybody could support literally anything). The provided link falls into that category. Not only that, we don't even know who wrote it; is (s)he "an established expert on the subject matter, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable third-party publications"? Who knows. (By the way, I am aware that a lot of Wikipedia articles lack of this kind of referencing quality; I have tried to do my best in the sections of the Wayland article that I wrote or modified, and it surely can be improved; unfortunately it's a subject that doesn't have many reliable sources)

If the reference verificability was the only problem then using the Security Extension Specification would be a good starting point. But, as I said in Talk:Wayland (display server protocol), "The fact is, no distribution provides isolation between local X clients as the Wayland model does, not even using SECURITY, XACE or another extension (standard X can't)." There are several problems trying to refute the claim using these extensions: first, there are extensions, not how the X server works by design; second, they are not used by default by any known Linux distro or another operating system; they are not well tested, they are not used, they don't even work with entire classes of X clients (X window managers, screensavers, colour pickers, ...). The user has to manually configure the sandboxing for each X client and hope for it to work. Compare this with whe Wayland scenario where the sandboxing comes by default and the user must do nothing. Now remember what is all about: a section comparing Wayland with X. Do you understand now why I have discarded it? --JavierCantero (talk) 07:58, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer: Help on reversion

Hi there! I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. Recently, you reverted my fix to Bans on Nazi symbols.

If you did this because the references should be removed from the article, you have misunderstood the situation. Most likely, the article originally contained both <ref name="foo">...</ref> and one or more <ref name="foo"/> referring to it. Someone then removed the <ref name="foo">...</ref> but left the <ref name="foo"/>, which results in a in the article. I replaced one of the remaining <ref name="foo"/> with a copy of the <ref name="foo">...</ref>; I did not re-insert the reference to where it was deleted, I just replaced one of the remaining instances. What you need to do to fix it is to make sure you remove all instances of the named reference so as to not leave any .

If you reverted because I made an actual mistake, please be sure to also correct any reference errors in the page so I won't come back and make the same mistake again. Also, please post an error report at User talk:AnomieBOT so my operator can fix me! If the error is so urgent that I need to be stopped, also post a message at User:AnomieBOT/shutoff/OrphanReferenceFixer. Thanks!
