You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Wikipedia:The answer to life, the universe, and everything. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount and can lead to a block, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection.

Re your message on my talk page. A single reversion is not edit warring. Redoing a reverted edit most definitely is the beginning of an edit war. SpinningSpark 09:20, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Sticking to English and letting historical pages rot.

This is probably the longest and most incomprehensible URL you've seen in quite a while:

Yet it seems to me to be proof that this edit (much like the one before it) ... even in a foreign langauge, was gibberish.

Happy Wikiing! Jsharpminor (talk) 02:09, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Impressive, and a clear winner for "incomprehensible". For "longest" I recently stumbled over an SVG nominated as quality image on commons with a huge embedded (data: URL) raster image. That data: URL (26,000 lines) managed to crash one of the Chrome extensions for images. –Be..anyone (talk) 05:25, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of MKVToolNix

Hello Be..anyone,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged MKVToolNix for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. Take a look at our suggestions for essential content in short articles to learn what should be included.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. TheMagikCow (talk) 21:22, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Abuse reported on the specified talk page (archived). Updated: New report attempt on ANI#Speedy_deletion_of_new_articles. –Be..anyone (talk) 00:37, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of MKVToolNix

The article MKVToolNix has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not notable; links to download sites (would not even make good external links never mind refs) and to own sites, no reliable sources. Even if sources can be found seems non-notable; perhaps merits a sentence or line in Matroska but not its own article.

While all constructive 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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 01:22, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

 Done, answered on Talk:MKVToolNix, de-PROD-ded after adding some arguably "scholarly" references, I'll archive this section soon. –Be..anyone (talk) 12:38, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Nomination of MKVToolNix for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article MKVToolNix is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/MKVToolNix until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 19:40, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

File names and inventive names

Hi.

Did you know that synthesis of published material to imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources is forbidden in Wikipedia? We have a computer program called "Paint", whose filename is "mspaint.exe". If you combine these two and create "Microsoft Paint", that would be synthesis of published material and a made-up name.

Please note that Microsoft uses a lot of strange file names; probably before the naming scheme is finalized. For example, the HFS driver in Windows 2000 was called pinball.sys. Malicious Software Removal Tool's file name is mrt.exe instead of msrt.exe.

Best regards,
Codename Lisa (talk) 20:58, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

HPFS (OS/2), HFS is something on Macs. I have an untested unofficial copy for W2K of this creature (where Pinball.exe as game exists.)

"Microsoft Paint" for" mspaint" for the purposes of picking a redirect category ought to be better explained as "alternative" than as "incorrect" name. OTOH it's not a printworthy redirect, I haven't checked that, sorry. –Be..anyone (talk) 00:28, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

MS or ms list Microsoft. There are dozens of hits (counted as 498,000 search results) for a Google "Microsoft Paint" (as phrase, in quotes) search. There are at least five pages with search hits for MS or Microsoft Paint on MS community sites (answers.microsoft, etc.) So this is a perfect "alternative name" or "nickname", as {{R from alternative name}} says. I'll add unprintworthy just in case. –Be..anyone (talk) 00:53, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Who ever you are …

I'm quite flabbergasted by your attention and I'd be very glad if you could say something on or about the deletion requests on deWP against Burgl Helbich-Poschacher and Adolf Fruchthändler. And, please be so kind, vote for or against the pic Die letzten Zeugen. Regards from Vienna. --Meister und Margarita (talk) 23:52, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I've no clear idea about the "RK" (notability) in dewiki, and I've also no idea about de:Burgl Helbich-Poschacher, but de:Adolf Fruchthändler with three or four references should be okay. At least here (enwiki).

It's an accident that I stumbled over the de:WP:KEB page and added it to my watchlist, I'm mostly active on commons. It's not more necessary to add a keep there, a permission by the photographer sent to OTRS will stop the DR (deletion request) or trigger an undeletion. And that permission is required, anybody could create an account with the name Christian Michelides, the OTRS-procedure is some "out-of-band" (non-wiki, e.g., e-mail) plausibility check. Actually I never tested it, my "contributions" consist mostly of fixed SVG-syntax errors to get a PASS verdict from the W3C-validator. –Be..anyone (talk) 01:05, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. The permission was sent to OTRS. Hopefully they will work on it in time. Regards --Meister und Margarita (talk) 18:56, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Update: The dewiki articles didn't make it, but Die letzten Zeugen got a commons category. –Be..anyone (talk) 07:56, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

License tagging for File:UAEU Reem Al Marzouqi.png

Thanks for uploading File:UAEU Reem Al Marzouqi.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 05:05, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

Bot got it mostly right, undeletion requested for the required fix. Apparently {{non-free use rationale}} without non-free tag is a known problem, the "delete"+"undelete" steps in tag missing license+{{db-f7}}+delete+undelete+fix missing license can't be a good idea. –Be..anyone (talk) 12:27, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

The issue here is that Reem Al Marzouqi is alive and the image is not free. point 1 of the non-free content guideline and so it falls under one of the speedy deletion criteria. Strictly speaking mostly we wait two days in case there is an especial reason that the image cannot be replaced, but there seemed no need as the matter is so clear - Peripitus (Talk) 20:06, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

The PDF of her University appears to be {{non-free promotional}}. They certainly use her for promotional purposes, but I can't tell what the Arab text actually says, maybe it's perfectly fine to copy the photo. OTOH there's no hidden "creative commons" icon in the PDF. –Be..anyone (talk) 20:13, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

Update, undeletion didn't work, based on some obscure theory that new free photos of living people are always possible, no matter if the photo shows the inventor before her car in a PDF published by United Arab Emirates University. –Be..anyone (talk) 11:12, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Copyfree

I've de-prodded it, because prods can't be used for articles that have undergone AfD. Granted, the outcome at that point was delete, but... --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:22, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Well, at least it has now an {{old prod full}}. The rules are unclear, apparently PROD is allowed if the article was never PRODded or undeleted before. The old AFD was about another page, or rather, the new page was no undelete. –Be..anyone (talk) 16:25, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Update: There was a deletion debate later, result merge to Free content#Copyfree. –Be..anyone (talk) 07:11, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Update: Merged to Free content#Copyfree, problem solved. –Be..anyone (talk) 21:37, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

Thanks

for your edit at Lincoln Memorial. You did wipe out my two last edits, but that's fine because I can re-do them but this other stuff was a real concern to me. I'll buy you a beer - when you show up in Phoenix, Arizona next. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 21:01, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

The "five" is gone, and "crafted" is there again, the page should be almost as you wanted it. :-) –Be..anyone (talk) 21:03, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Life is good. and I see that Beyond My Ken got in a fixed that date too. Carptrash (talk) 21:05, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
