When a program has nothing surprising to say, it should say nothing.

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to IBM PC compatible has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

Byte (magazine) revert

It looks like a blog. It's has poor editing like a blog. Sounds like a blog to me. - Denimadept (talk) 20:35, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Denimadept, you are right about the poor editing; that is my old web site. The content created by me is not a reliable source. I added a real reference about the influence of Byte magazine. -- SWTPC6800 (talk) 21:25, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits to Super Nintendo Entertainment System

Hello. Here at Wikipedia, we have a thing called the BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. In short, this means that we encourage people to be bold in making edits, but if someone disagrees and reverts those edits then the correct course of action is to begin a discussion, not to continue to revert back and forth. I have started a discussion about your edit at Talk:SNES#Discussion needed per WP:BRD, let's try to reach a consensus. Thanks. Anomie⚔ 21:07, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

bot will do it — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pantergraph (talk • contribs) 03:51, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

After some total edit count (which I don't know the number), the bot won't do it anymore. Please get in the habit of typing the four tildes after any talk page post. Thank you! ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 04:06, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
800 edits. Pantergraph has 851 now, according to the API. Which explains the lack of bot-signing above. Anomie⚔ 04:38, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Metacity

I only rated "pseudo-clever"? Ah well. Marnanel (talk) 13:30, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

it's almost as if you had invented a recursive acronym
Why do you continue to refuse to sign your posts? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 14:12, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've raised this general question at WP:ANI, as I myself don't know what the rule is, if any. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 14:17, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Signing is required

As noted here:[1] ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 14:29, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pantergraph, on talk pages, it is necessary to see who has made what comment, hence contributors are requested to sign. Everyone forgets to sign from time to time. The community accepts this, that's why we have the bots (which are not perfect, and don't sign every unsigned contribution). Deliberately refusing to sign however may be considered disruptive behaviour, as it may appear that you are trying to conceal your ownership of comments on discussion pages. Please get into the habit of signing texts. Thanks for your co-operation. --Elen of the Roads (talk) 14:39, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You might consider going back to your recent posts to talk pages (click here to see the list) and add your signature to your posts. You most recent 14 such posts (I didn't look further) all lack your signature. JoeSperrazza (talk) 15:23, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  1. no it isn't necessary to know who made what comment, the content stands on its own; that's the very point of a site like this.
  2. if the bot is broken it should be fixed.
  3. not signing edits is a very bad way of concealing authorship, since it's recorded in the edit history.
  4. i don't "own" my comments, that's childish.
  5. it's probably a good idea to spend some of the fundraising money on buying the pedia.org domain since this site has nothing in common with a wiki and has become more like a freeform forum site.
