Macintosh Plus

Hi Raffaele Megabyte,

Over at the Macintosh Plus article, Grahamuk is right; the usage of Amiga computers in one of the Star Trek movies is completely unrelated to an encyclopedia article about the Macintosh Plus, and the material should remain deleted. If you were to write an article titled "Computers shown or used in the movie Star Trek IV" then your text would be relevant over at that article. If you strongly feel that the information belongs in Wikipedia, then perhaps you should write that article, and include a link to it in the Star Trek IV article. (Though I happen to agree with Grahamuk that such an article would be cruft.) Regards - Tempshill 18:49, 25 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You should issue a Request For Comments regarding your disagreement with GRAHAMUK over the Amiga info, rather than requesting formal mediation. This can bring additional viewpoints to a discussion and help settle disagreements like this. And I'm pretty sure you would discover that most people would agree with him and with Tempshill's comments above that the material doesn't belong on that page. Tverbeek 11:07, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Please give it a rest. The reason that material was left there for so long is that no one cared enough about it to remove it. It's trivial. It's silly. Really, it is. I'm just glad that someone finally got around to getting rid of it. And please stop trying to convince me otherwise; I'm not buying it. Regardless, here's something you need to understand: Wikipedia is not the place to seek "justice" for some insult from two decades ago. That's promoting an agenda, that's not what Wikipedia is for, and it's not welcomed here. The page should stay as it is now, with no pointers to anyone's "cry for justice" over an unrelated topic.

re: Wikipedia:Deletion review#Amiga Virtual Machine

Allow me please to caution you about the tactic you are choosing in the discussion on the Deletion Review page. Attempting to respond to every comment is generally viewed with skepticism. At best, it is perceived as a very defensive action - one that may indicate that you do not yet understand the principle of non-ownership of articles. At worst, it can be perceived by some as outright hostility.

You made your case and presented your evidence. I recommend sitting back and letting other discussion participants have a say. Allow the group to develop a discussion rather than attempting to hold serial discussions with each participant. Good luck. Rossami (talk) 04:14, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Amiga IRC users

Pardon if I'm unaware of current Amiga machines, but are they not old and outdated? I would be tempted to believe that the subset of Amiga IRC users is not a notable one. Otherwise, we would be expected to list IRC clients for all outdated systems that are updated by abandonware enthusiasts, no? I will not remove your additions for now, but you should try to find references to demonstrate the notability of these clients. (Just being the only Amiga IRC client, or the biggest, for example is not necessarily notable.) - BalthCat 16:14, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:AmigaOS4.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:AmigaOS4.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 15:38, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Completely wrong"

I take offense at your comment that my version of WHDLoad was "completely wrong". Of course it was far less technically detailed than your version and used more vague wording. But still it was not completely wrong, it still conveyed the same idea: WHDLoad is a program to run non-AmigaOS-compatible Amiga games and demos from within AmigaOS. You even used one or two of my paragraphs verbatim in your version. You wouldn't have done that if it was "completely wrong", would you? JIP | Talk 18:16, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Amiga at OS article

I undid this material from the Operating Systems article:

Notheworthy to mention the fact that AmigaOS generated an entire family of clone descendant OSs: AmigaOS 4.0, MorphOS (both proprietary), and one that is Open Source AROS. All these three child OSs derive from version 3.1 of classic AmigaOS which itself stopped at version 3.9.

This looks like good material for the Amiga OS article, and not the general OS one. Also you'll want to fix up the grammar and spelling a bit ("Notheworthy [sic] to mention...").

The Amiga, and Atari ST, were fun game machines in their day. Good luck. Pete St.John (talk) 19:17, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I answered a couple of your points at my Talk. The use of "sic" above is as in Sic. Pete St.John (talk) 17:55, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Amiga A570

Hello!

I am having difficulty understanding some of the text you added to the Amiga A570 article in this edit:

The A570 was incompatible with the A1200. The A1200 also featured standard IDE interface, so Commodore never released an A1200-compatible CD-ROM device, neither realized something to enhance the A500 machines, which could be improved by third party hardware manufacturers.

The emphasis is mine; I've bolded the bit I don't understand. Could you please rephrase that bit to make it clear what you meant, or clarify it to me, so I can do so? Thanks. jhf (talk) 07:30, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem with File:Cubic-ide.png

Thank you for uploading File:Cubic-ide.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. FASTILY_sock^(TALK) 01:37, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Amiga Media Center

The article Amiga Media Center has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Lacking reliable sources to establish notability, see also Wikipedia:Notability (software).

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. tedder (talk) 04:40, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Stub tags

Hi, Please don't add {{stub}} to an article to indicate that a section of it needs expansion, as you did to Naples. The template to use is {{expand section}}. Adding the stub template put Naples into Category:Stubs, quite inappropriately. Thanks.Pam D 22:29, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply, but please note that you added it to my user page by mistake. It should have gone on my User talk page. PamD 19:49, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 31

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of museums in Naples, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Richard Long (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Cembalo scrivano moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Cembalo scrivano, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Cembalo scrivano, a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Your draft article, Draft:Cembalo scrivano

Hello, Raffaele Megabyte. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Cembalo scrivano".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
