through the whole process of networking development.What do you suggest ?what topology should be used and what cables should do best and why.What connectors to be used and again why?Help me out please.You can forward it on R.desk also if it is needed.Hoping pretty response from your side.--Catherine.michi (talk) 16:55, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Thumbplay

Jeremy - can you be more specific about why you feel this is an advertising? Everything I've written is from a factual and neutral POV. I've also cited whatever I could, including some places where you specifically asked for additional citations.

Plus, another moderator had asked me to specifically address some other concerns, which I've specifically done in tweaking the entry further.

Any specific examples you can provide which need to be fixed will be most helpful. (Chaas (talk) 19:06, 3 July 2008 (UTC))

Thanks!

Help Jeremy

I am having a problem with a user on an article I created Marc Ratner. Please help me on this issue JeremyMcCracken. I came to you because I don't know where else to turn. The user has recommended my article for deletion say it is a copyright. I know it is not because I wrote it myself. The user submitted websites trying to prove that it was copyrighted. I checked out the pages and it shows no copyright on my part. If you would please check out the article and give your honest opinion on the issue. Whatever you final finding is i will follow it. Thanking you in advance Reallmmablogger (talk) 18:07, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Pokemon Red Blue Glitch City

Hi, you voted a while ago in favour of some mention of Glitch City in the Pokemon Red/Blue article. Unfortunately, despite admin saying a Glitch section would be ok, the main editor of the page is turning it into a war, constantly deleting it despite sources and Pokemon-culture relevance. If you have an interest in keeping this kind of interesting information in wikipedia, please come over to Pokemone Red and Blue and help get the small Glitches section reinstated. Regards, MKULTRA333 (talk) 19:35, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

What is a user page?

I'm fine, but I don't know what is a user page. Can you reply what is a user page? I hope you have a good day! AHLU (talk) 14:57, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Re:Greenday

Yeah, I think I'm beginning to understand the situation. My replies to his edits are here, here, and here. All three of us should work together to resolve this issue. ŁittleÄlien¹² (_talk\) 00:03, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

And one more reply here. This user has been deleting most of my posts. ŁittleÄlien¹² (_talk\) 00:27, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for the welcome message, Jeremy! I'll definitely let you know when I need help. AR1997 (talk) 15:45, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

3PO

In response to your response to the complaint filed by disgruntled editor Donald Albury, I have modified my template, as I have done multiple times daily since its inception, in order to better reflect the completely voluntary nature of my recommendation to new users to "useyourname".

Thank you!

Thank you, Jeremy, for your amazing work in Viewpoint Media Player. If I had read an older version without your contributions, I would have been very, very confused about it. (I am one who is incredibly paranoid about malware of any kind.) Great job, and keep up the good work! Danny Sepley (talk) 06:40, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

What is a subpage?

Can you reply what is a subpage is? I don't know what it can do. Reply soon. Thanks. AHLU (talk) 23:42, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Welcome

For the nice welcome message. I've loved Misplaced Pages, so I've joined and hope to become a constructive contributor, or editor. I'm especially passionate about content verification in subjects that are of to interest me. Thanks again.--Jhelyam (talk) 03:36, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Article about Subpages help

I got it! In a nutshell, a subpage is created by adding a slash and some text to a page title. This is often done for two reasons: A) subpages off of people's user pages, for their own stuff, and B) subpages of talk pages for archiving. The link you gave me is helpful. Thanks. Reply soon.

Would you be so kind as to check the above talk page? My questions are languishing and I'd like to bring the issue to a close if possible. Urhixidur (talk) 18:12, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Hello! I just wanted to pass along my thanks for your support in my RfA from earlier this week. I hope I did not disappoint you.

Catherineyronwode/ANI-proposal

The User talk:Catherineyronwode/ANI-proposal seems to me to be a very bad idea, and inappropriate for AN/I. She has stated on her user page that she intends to continue adding to it while leaving it to unspecified others to make use of it. Hrafn has rightly pointed out to me that it meets the description of being an WP:Attack page. To minimise drama I've suggested that she consider deleting it herself, rather than deleting it or tagging it for speedy deletion without warning. I'll be grateful for any advice or comments you have on this situation. Thanks, dave souza, talk 14:51, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I think Catherine's ANI-proposal brilliant because it hits upon a previously undocumented form of WP:OWNERSHIP. Hfran is trying to control other editors through a negative form of WP:OWERNSHIP, where he prods and tags weak articles like a spider weaving a web. And then waits for an unsuspecting editor to make a contribution. And if the editor does not bring the article up to standards that are far, far beyond WP:IMPERFECT, he takes what appears to be the next logical step which is a further, WP:prod, WP:redirect, or WP:AFD. In fact, dave souza sometimes particpates with Hfran in these negative forms of WP:OWNERSHIP (e.g., Talk:Relationship_between_religion_and_science#Islam and "early historical scientific texts"). Catherine's edits last night on Daylight Origins Society (see revision history: ) and Hfran's Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Daylight Origins Society today along with dave souza's participation is a perfect example. --Firefly322 (talk) 15:31, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Sadly, I think you're serious. Certainly this issue is open to discussion, but I think it'll be hard to discuss anything if the tenor of your rant-like comments isn't altered substantively. •Jim62sch• 17:40, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

What do u consider to be a rant here? Considering that Hfran's comments per a WP:3 review towards me were questioned as uncivil, I think I'm on a much higher moral ground in the way I treat him versus how he treats me. Here is the example where Hfran's comments are questioned as uncivil in a WP:3 review: Talk:Relationship between religion and science#Third Opinion. --Firefly322 (talk) 18:36, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

(Interposting) Let's just say that I find your points to be hyperbolic and lacking in rationality. You seem to make an awful lot of assumption that are not supported by the cites. The use of "weak" plays the victim card, but the reality is that the articles are not so much weak as they are irrelevant. Danke. •Jim62sch• 19:18, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Firefly, basic confirmation holism doesn't establish notability on Misplaced Pages. It's an article I'd like to see kept, so please find reliable sources establishing its notability. . . dave souza, talk 17:48, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Then Dave souza, why not put a speedy keep !vote in the AFD? Or are you implying that you do realize that this WP:AFD has been done to make a WP:POINT. --Firefly322 (talk) 18:31, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

I'll go ahead and answer this here; I said that MEDCAB couldn't handle that type of claim/complaint. It Catherine wants to post her concerns at ANI, that would be the appropriate venue. If I were her, I wouldn't post that stuff on WP simply because it tips off those you're targeting, but I've seen others keep similar "evidence" pages, that were considered acceptable. You could suggest it for deletion, but I think it would probably be kept anyway. Since it's complaints of user conduct, it will almost certainly wind up at ARBCOM eventually, where evidence is presented just like that page. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 19:07, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough, obviously I'd expect it to go through the usual dispute resolution stages before RfArb and of course the behaviour of all parties will come under scrutiny if she chooses to go ahead with it. In light of her statements it seemed inappropriate to me, but others can judge. . . dave souza, talk 19:15, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

William Gaillard

The William Gaillard page has been unproteced, and again the version which is non-consensus has been restored. Rather than simply revert the edit I have come to for you for advice on how to proceed. Hope this is ok? Dead-or-Red (talk) 17:54, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
