User talk:Raul654

Greetings

You have done a good job so far in Wikipedia (a.k.a. 'Pedia or WP). I can see that you're a serious Wikipedian interested in improving our project. If you stay for a while, you'll discovered that collectively, we're a cooperative and friendly community. We are all here to learn, and hopefully can give something back. If you have questions or doubts of any sort, do not hesitate to post them on the Village Pump, somebody will respond ASAP. Other helpful pages include:

Just keep in mind that while relevant discussions and constructive criticisms and are welcome, unproductive and/or destructive insults are not (see Wikiquette).

Who knows? Perhaps you'll soon become a Wikipediholic and make it into the list of Wikipedia:Most active Wikipedians! :-) --Lypheklub 20:42, Aug 31, 2003 (UTC)
p.s. Simply type four tildes (~~~~), then you can sign you name and date like I just did with mine. And please always do so after your post in Talk/discussion pages and Village Pump.

Pundit

Hello Raul. You edited the page to remove the (pundit) and that will send it to a disambiguation page now (as it did before). If you return the (pundit) to the article, it will link directly to the correct reference for Bill O'Rielly. pk 20:21, 1 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Sony V Betamax

Raul, welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for adding the link to the Sony (Betamax case) to Fair use; I've gone ahead and placed in it the appropriate section of the fair use factors analysis. Just to let you know you don't have to put underscores inside links. Also when putting cases in articles the convention is to make them italics on the outside of the link. Here is the example: ''[[Sony Corp. v. Universal City Studios]]'' . Alex756 07:22, 4 Sep 2003 (UTC)

RYE and Rye

Hi Raul. Welcome to Wikipedia. I deleted RYE as you requested. I moved the content there to Talk:Rye so that is can be merged into the main article at Rye as necessary. Fortunately both articles said much the same thing so there really isn't much to merge. Hope that's all ok with you. Pete 14:17, 17 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Use minor edit less often

Just a kind request...please only use 'minor edit' for changes in spelling and formatting. Adding complete sentences are *not* minor edits :) Kingturtle 08:04, 20 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Redirects

re: Nero emperor. Redirects are the non-sysop's deletion. Cheers, Cyan 05:16, 21 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Pics policies

Raul, I've taken the liberty of adding some information on an image description page about the claimed fair use (implied) photo that you recently posted. It is a good idea to add a bit of analysis regarding fair use, thus people know it is fair use and know why you (or someone else like me) consider it fair use. That will help prevent any controversy (hopefully) and will make sure that someone does not inadvertantly think that it might be fair use in a downstream license situation that might not be so.

Ok, thanks for the heads up

Finding Child Porn

The content of "Finding child pornography on the Internet" was in the page history. I did not restore it myself because I don't want my username on that article at all. -- Cyan 04:34, 10 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Alan Turing

Hello, I had a question regarding the Alan Turing photo you uploaded. It's at Image_talk:Alan_Turing.jpg. Cheers, AxelBoldt 21:23, 9 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Whoops

In the future please merge. Simply deleting valid info is not an accepted practice around here (the exact day was deleted in the Nixon article). --mav

It's alright. :) I should have paid better attention in the first place. --mav

thanks!

that article is very easy to understand. thanks for putting in the effort. and thanks for letting me know. Kingturtle 11:19, 11 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Computer science v computer engineering

Regarding CS vs. CE in interrupt -- I'm on a bit of an endeavor to turn some of the less-likely uses of "computer science" into uses of more specific or accurate terms. (For instance, "computer virus" has to do with computing, but isn't a CS term.) Interrupt is an edge case; the page describes interrupts mostly from the standpoint of the processor and hardware rather than the OS. It can go either way, but there aren't enough links to computer engineering anyhow, and too many to computer science, so your field gets one more. :) --FOo 04:57, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)

mental connection

well, there is obviously a connection between what i want to know and what you want to express! keep up the good work! Kingturtle 07:30, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Re requested articles - the user is an IP range that is a known vandal - also look at the number of things s/he removes from the listing. -- Pakaran 13:52, 13 Dec 2003 (UTC)

On the Wikipedia:List of articles frequently visited through Google, you deleted Fuzheado's VFD notice saying votes for deletion comment is obviously obsolete. Can you explain this? It is currently listed on the VFD page, making it (IMHO) quite pertinent. --Raul654 07:00, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC)

I looked at the dates on the Google page and saw they went way back, and couldn't fathom that the page would be up for deletion. I assumed wrong. Sorry. Notice should be restored.

You're an admin

You're now an administrator. -- Tim Starling 08:19, Dec 18, 2003 (UTC)

It was demanded on Wikipedia talk:Administrators that I wait at least one week before sysopping. Other than that, there is no official policy. -- Tim Starling 08:37, Dec 18, 2003 (UTC)

Admin policies

Please could you read the Deletion policy and Deletion guidelines for administrators before you delete anything else. Pages need to be listed on VfD for at least five days before they are deleted, unless they meet the criteria for speedy deletion. NFL Fantasy Football - Week 17 - Playoffs/Finals Week certainly does not meet these criteria. Thanks. Angela . 06:12, 20 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Hmmm, try Wikipedia:Administrators' reading list, and in particular the pages I linked above, along with Wikipedia:Protection policy and Wikipedia:Bans and blocks. In summary, don't delete anything other than obvious junk unless it's been on VfD 5 days, don't edit a protected page, don't protect a page you've edited, don't ban without warning and you'll be fine. :) Good luck with the adminship. Angela . 06:54, 20 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Finally

Thanks for the recent anatomy articles. I am going thru the requested articles page and clearing up the new ones. --Merovingian 07:40, Dec 22, 2003 (UTC)

Actually, I woulda gotten around to some of them; I have a nice big health book, LOL! --Merovingian 09:47, Dec 22, 2003 (UTC)
