"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Huh?

I have edited one Wikipedia page, that on Convergent Technologies, to add and I hope clarify. Although I see at least one error at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergent_Technologies_(Unisys), I see no vandalism.

I'll add the error to my list of things to do.

Further, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=66.212.6.76&offset=0&limit=20 shows but one use of that address to edit Wikipedia, the CT page mentioned above.

So, in addition to "Huh?", I formally move to add a resounding "WTF?"
and request an explanation.

Yours,

Me.

Hoary-

Thnak you for your reply. I understand your reply as given, but am unable to reconcile my discovery of but one edit from the address in question (mine, of the Convergent Technologies page) and your discovery of again, a single edit, but of an unrelated page. Was there a lag of some sort I wonder, that is, at the time I queried, had the second edit (the vandalisim) occurred but not yet been added to the page that showed me (well, the address) making an edit to the CT page? Which still wouldn't explain why you find that "The edit was not to an article on Convergent Technologies". When I asked for the history, Wikipedia did point me at the Convergent page as my only edit. Unless Wikipedia accomplished that via a local cookie instead of IP address? Still looking for the CFT to correct the CT page, but it's on my list.

Thank you,

Me.

==What is this?==

Hi, {{user|Fvw}}, it seems that [[User:Fvw/POPBot/archive/http-proxy-scan-2005-09-30]] has been edited by at least one suspected Bogdandov sock, namely {{user|83.16.112.250}}. I can't figure out what this page is all about; can you enlighten me? TIA---[[User:Hillman|CH]] 21:46, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

:Heya, sorry for the late reply, I'm not an active wikipedia editor any more. The reason that page was edited from that IP was that I used to run an [[open proxy]] scanner for wikipedia. Like many problematic sock-puppeteers, Bogdanov used open proxies, one of which was founds by my open proxy scanner. If you encounter further bad behaviour from that IP, the best course of action is probably to block as an open proxy or request and admin to do so.

== Your signature ==

Hi. Your signature seems to constantly confuse my XML Parser when I parse Wikipedia pages. What is the significance of <pre>&#0xfeff;</pre> and how should it be parsed? Thanks. [[User:Pkalmar|Pkalmar]] ([[User talk:Pkalmar|talk]]) 20:05, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
:How strange, my signature is one of the top google hits for &#0xfeff; yet I don't recall ever having had anything like that in my signature. Unicode character 0xfeff is the zero width space, often also used as a byte order mark. To get it to be a proper entity would require getting rid of the leading 0 of the number though. Perhaps it's an artifact of the conversion of en.wikipedia to utf-8? Not sure what made it choose to single out my sig for this treatment though. You could try asking at [[WP:HD|the helpdesk]] if anyone knows anything about this. Good luck! --[[User:fvw|fvw]][[User talk:Fvw|*]] 10:41, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
::Allow me to kibitz. FEFF in hex is equivalent to 65279 in decimal; &#65279; is indeed the zero width space; but if you prefer to use hex it's &#xfeff; (with no zero or other character interrupting the opening sequence &#x). (See [http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/htmlunicode.html this page] and other stuff on that man's site.) But I've a hunch that even if this is fixed and the result satisfies XML parsers, it may well confuse some HTML browsers. -- [[User:Hoary|Hoary]] ([[User talk:Hoary|talk]]) 14:01, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

== [[Bugs Bunny]] coin ==

The IP address pretty much had it right. Go to Google and enter "bugs bunny" coin 1987, and you'll see one for sale on eBay, for example. However, I would say it's just a souvenir of some kind, so I don't see where it warrants special mention in the article, as there have been countless Bugs icons through the years (and I should know, Doc).

:Yup, I had the same feeling you did, I was hoping any sources on the subject that came back would include some information on significance or lack thereof. I was also a bit curious which constitution it referred to.

== "Content dispute". ==

I have a brief question. On the [[WP:AIV]] page, you have twice removed my addition of a user, and at least once removed another users, for lack of a better word, "complaint". I have added several users to that particular list over time, and usually, the admins that look at them try to solve the dispute. May I ask what makes a "content dispute", which usually seems like the reason for adding names to that list, not worth looking over to see if a block is in order? I am not saying I am right, nor the user [[User:Kmanning2008]] is right, I am just asking if you have looked over the situation before dismissing it as a "content dispute"? If you have, I'm sorry for prying. And if it seems as though I am accusing you of anything, I am sorry for that also, that is not what I'm insinuating. I was just wondering. --'''[[User:JpGrB|H]][[User talk:JpGrB|E]][[User:JpGrB/My Userboxes|L]][[User:JpGrB/Articles I Created|L]]'''Ø Ŧ'''[[User:JpGrB/Wikiproject Wishlist|H]][[User:JpGrB/Sandbox/Archive 1|E]][[User:JpGrB/Sandbox|R]][[User:JpGrB/Sandbox 2|E]]''' 02:35, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

==ANI removals==
A bad faith effort has been made to disrupt the thread I started. As I have indicated [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:A_Nobody&diff=253955723&oldid=253954960 here], I changed usernames due to real world harassment concerns and have requested that I not be referred to by my old username because I do not want my real world harassers showing up and putting things together and disrupting our project and causing additional problems for me and my family. I therefore cannot imagine any good faith or constructive reason why anyone would refer to me by my old username given that request. In fact, why would anyone respond to ''any'' editor who changed names by his/her old name? Doing so is deliberately aggressive and given the reasons why I and others have changed names is downright disgraceful. Editors can disagree with each other and even dislike each other without outing each other. If the real world issues were not a concern, I would have just continued going by my old username. Moreover, please note that the editor who initially reverted my edit is one who has actually even called me names when I had that old name (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2008_March_28&diff=202124196&oldid=202122443] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:A_Nobody&diff=212004516&oldid=212002612]).

Hi

I am trying to ad our page to the article I written. But you are deleting it..
Hove can we make a company page stick to the article.

Sincerely
Thomas
{{unsigned|OxoThomas}}

:Hi, first of all you should make sure the company in question fulfils the criteria for inclusion listed at [[WP:CORP]]. Secondly, you should write about the company in neutral terms (see [[WP:NPOV]]), and make sure you substantatie what you write of them with references (see [[WP:REF]]). Good luck! --[[User:fvw|fvw]][[User talk:Fvw|*]] 09:20, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

== User page stuff :) ==

Thanks for looking at this - an area where few stray! I'm happy to see these tagged as speedy personally. The advantage (to me) is I check my logs from time to time & so it stands out if they are recreated...

:The user page spam is the pleasant stuff as far as I'm concerned, far less obnoxious to handle than the incessant vanity pages. I'm actually an admin (though you'd be forgiven for not having noticed, I'm not around that much any more), but I blank user pages just in case someone wants to make the case they're actually working on the spam in question as an article. Happy editing! --[[User:fvw|fvw]][[User talk:Fvw|*]] 10:30, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

:If you feel the subject of the article meets the criteria for inclusion listed in [[WP:MUSIC]], create an article on them in the main article space (making sure to list the reasons why you think the subject in question is notable).

== Gear4music.com ==

Hi.

Could you please explain further to me why Gear4music.com has been deleted as I am editing it? The deletion log simply states Articles for Deletion. I am happy that what I have written is neutral in style. If the notability of Gear4music.com is debatable, then can I ask why both [[Dolphin Music]] and [[Harley Benton Guitars]] have pages that have not been deleted?

Thankyou in advance for any assistance you can give.

[[User:Jmeager|Jmeager]] ([[User talk:Jmeager|talk]]) 10:32, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

:[[Gear4music.com]] was deleted via [[WP:AfD]]. If you want to start an article on the same subject again, you'll have to go through [[Wikipedia:Deletion review]] and give your reasons why the decision to delete should be reconsidered. Sorry if this is a bit kafkaesque, but we do get a huge number of new pages to sort through every day. Good luck! --[[User:fvw|fvw]][[User talk:Fvw|*]] 10:38, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

== How can I recover my page ? ==

Hello,

You recently deleted my page without discussion and I will require if it's possible to recover the source in order to remake it to match Wikipedia's criteria and acceptance policy in my content.

Please advise me about how to recover my page. The article name was "Partz Poetry". —Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Saibarspeis|Saibarspeis]] ([[User talk:Saibarspeis|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Saibarspeis|contribs]]) 11:40, 9 December 2008 (UTC) 
:If you specify an email address in your preferences or give me an email address I can send it to, though I have my doubts about the article's future on wikipedia. Please have a look at our policy on [[WP:OR|Original Research]]. --[[User:fvw|fvw]][[User talk:Fvw|*]] 11:44, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

I see the policy and I understand that personal thoughts and ideas are not to be published on wikiPedia. Aside this rule the rest of the text is completely NOT fabricated by me and it is in fact a popular truth here in Romania. That being said I might add the fact that if a foreign person comes to Romania and starts socializing with people coming from different social groups this is quite handy for them and will help understanding better romanian popular and also modern phrases used here by individuals from a certain social group.

I will reconsider the content of the page and change it to more suitable and comprehensible format.
My address is [email protected] and it was in my account preferences all the time.

:Hi, sorry about that. I removed those external links to the zolpidem article because one was broken and one duplicated what was already in the article (see [[WP:EL]], if there are pieces of information missing it's better to move them (without violating copyrights) into the article rather than just link it). I must have mixed you up with a link spammer (we get a mind-boggling number of those on the drug articles) and then reverted your other link additions too. Hardly a warm welcome to wikipedia, my apologies again, and happy editing! --[[User:fvw|fvw]][[User talk:Fvw|*]] 22:56, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the late welcome, please reconsider then and revert back some of my edits.

:I'd already reverted the changes to Vanguard and Hi5, I really don't think the links on zolpidem added anything, but feel free to discuss it on the article's talk page. As for finding which links are already there, I'm afraid I don't know any better when than going to the edit view and doing a text search, which should get you any use in external links or references. --[[User:fvw|fvw]][[User talk:Fvw|*]] 06:02, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

== RFSHQ page deletion ==

I feel that this deletion was unnecessary and happened far too fast for anyone to have actually READ the page to make a decent decision. Regardless of the fact that it was previously created THREE YEARS AGO and deleted, the website has since received huge exposure and success and has ultimately closed, and I felt that a catalog of its ventures was something worth posting, especially to the tens of thousands of visitors and viewers of the website founders' new projects.
