Regarding gcc/Introspector

Hi, a couple of years ago I followed the discussions about your gcc introspector project on the gcc mailing lists because I was working on a related project, unfortunately the FSF wasn't yet ready for it back then, however apparently things are about to change right now, so I thought you might be interested in the discussions ongoing on the gcc mailing lists right now regarding a possible "gcc runtime library license" in order to facilitate a plugin API for binary gcc plugins (GPL), see for details and links to the corresponding discussions. Maybe this will eventually enable projects like the introspector to be implemented. All the best!--Parallelized (talk) 12:44, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Some hints

I would be grateful if you could try to integrate the edits you are making into the rest of the article. I am refering in particular to your addition to tridiagonal matrix. On that page, I removed the sentence "A tridiagonal matrix is a asymmetric bidiagonal matrix" because bidiagonal matrix is often used with a different meaning (a matrix with nonzero entries only on the diagonal and either the superdiagonal or the subdiagonal). Furthermore, I think that you should use less capitals. But most importantly, I am glad to see our coverage of numerical linear algebra expanded and I look forward to your future additions. Best wishes, Jitse Niesen 12:56, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Moving pages

Please don't move pages via cut-n-paste (as you did with Matrix representation), as this loses the history, which we need to keep for Misplaced Pages:Copyright reasons. It makes work for an admin (me, in this case) who has to come along and perform special hand-done magic to put the history back together. In future, please do moves with the "Move this page" link; that's what it's there for! If the button won't work (as it sometimes doesn't, e.g. in this case), please use WP:RM to request an admin's assistance with the move. Noel (talk) 03:55, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

PS: I don't usually check other User_talk: pages (so that I don't have to monitor a whole long list of User_Talk: pages - one for each person with whom I am having a "conversation"), so please leave any messages for me on my talk page (above); if you leave a message for me here I probably will not see it. I know not everyone uses this style (they would rather keep all the text of a thread in one place), but I simply can't monitor all the User_talk: pages I leave messages on. Thanks!

Elementary reflector (mathematics)

Hi there. I just wonder if you plan to do any kind of expansion on elementary reflector (mathematics). It was nice that you started it, but it is in a very sorry state. Even a couple of sentences would help. Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov 03:20, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Software Expo

I suppose you can put up the article after the expo has actually happened. But so far, this is... no one knows what this will be. It's speculation.

Sorry. DS (talk) 15:32, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Invitation

Mike, thanks for inviting me to the event. I'll make sure to attend the event. I've seen fliers in the city and was thinking about it but your invitation convinced me :) Thanks. --alchaemia (talk) 12:33, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Invitation

I do not see what I have to contribute to the conference. I am not an expert on open source things. Sorry. :( Perhaps if it included some other things, but I am not really into technology. As for going there, would you guys provide any resources? It's expensive to go there from the US - and then hey, where would I stay, how much would it all cost... I really do not know, and there seem to not be many informations about accommodation and stuff like that. Plus, being a Serb I would be worried for my own safety there, so safety is also an issue.

I am not sure what the wikimedia kosovo thing is? Could you explain it to me? What is the difference between it and the page for Kosovo? (LAz17 (talk) 20:14, 10 July 2009 (UTC)).

Invitation

Thank you for inviting me. Unfortunately I won't be able to attend the event. Rayhou (talk) 22:17, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Re: map source

Mike, the map is not mine. It was created by Sémhur and you can find it in his profile page. Since he used Serbian names only, I edited the map and added Albanian language names as well. Since he's the original creator of the map, I feel it would be best to ask him for permission. As for the modified Albanian/Serbian-language map, should he be OK with using the original (Serbian-language only) I'm totally fine with you using the modified (Albanian/Serbian) one. Edit: Upon further inspection, it seems as Semhur has licensed it under GNU 2.0 and that allows using it freely as long as you credit him, and if you want to use my version, myself. I don't think asking him is necessary, but you can go ahead and do so if you wish. --alchaemia (talk) 21:32, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Geodata

There are some others who want to export the data from wikipedia, see my talk page for a discussion and tools:~dispenser/view/Geodata. — Dispenser 17:26, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Blocked

That uncivil comment on the article's talk page just earned you a 31-hour timeout. The article has been deleted yet again for a complete and utter lack of content. You are welcome to contribute meaningfully when the block expires, but please do not breach WP:CIVIL again. Thank you.--PMDrive1061 (talk) 20:32, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Heavy Handed

PMDrive1061, I dont know why you are acting like this. It is really upsetting. I have been spending hours and days trying to promote the usage of wikipedia here in kosovo. there is hardly any information on things written down, and we need stubs. How can I tell people to use wikipedia if they have thier work just deleted? What is wrong with a stub?

I think that it is rude to just delete someones work while they are editing it. You have my email, contact details. I dont even have a backup of the page in wikipedia. Now you are blocking me from editing ? That is really bad.

This is the way that you scare away new editors, many people here say that they have similar problems. How are we going to promote the usage of wikipedia? By deleting things? Where should we put articles about old churches? They need to be documented somewhere.

• Yes, they do. However, I really take exception to being called a "troll." Nothing here is ever lost, so all you really had to do was to ask that the article be undeleted since you were still working on it. I regret the misunderstanding, I hate the thought of blocking an experienced editor and getting off on the wrong foot with you, so I will gladly unblock your account and restore the article. I would suggest that you do take a moment and expand it in case another administrator stumbles on it and deletes it for the same reason I did. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 21:01, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

OK, I've unblocked your account and restored the article and talk page. I give you my word that I won't delete your work in the future. If you ever require administrative assistance, I hope you'll look to me. PMDrive1061 (talk) 21:04, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

You are most welcome

I'm very glad that this worked out. What is your girlfriend's username and what article was deleted? I would be happy to look into the matter and offer a solution. For her information, first articles are often deleted for any number of reasons. I've been editing this site on and off for seven years and I've had a few of my own articles deleted as well; I'm not above it. I have to run, but please feel free to leave word on my talk page if your girlfriend wishes to give things another try. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 21:22, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Lorenc Antoni

A tag has been placed on Lorenc Antoni requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 13:00, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Backup

We do not use talk pages for backup, as you did with Talk:Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, Prizren. If the article history is not sufficient backup, create user pages, eg. user:Mdupont/sandbox. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 06:06, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Category:Religious Places in Prizren

Hello, about Category:Religious Places in Prizren, maybe there's a misunderstanding about how categories work. You don't create a category by writing up a list of its members on the category page itself. A category is created by creating a more or less empty page at Category:Religious places in Prizren, writing separate articles for each intended member, and then placing the code ] in each article.

What you have now at the category page is more like a list article. It would belong in main article space, if anywhere. Do you want me to move it to List of religious places in Prizren? Fut.Perf. ☼ 09:44, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

On second thought, the page in its "under-construction" stage is still so messy, it would probably be better to move it to your user space instead, so you can work on it at your leisure. So, let's move it to User:Mdupont/List of religious places in Prizren, and when you're done writing it, you can move it to List of religious places in Prizren. Deal? Fut.Perf. ☼ 09:46, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, I see where you're coming from, but we really do expect content that is placed in the main content space to be a bit more "finished". This kind of drafting is really what user subpages are for. If you want more people to see it, a better way would be to advertise it at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Kosovo, where people with local interests are likely to hang out. Look, here's my offer: I'll move the page for you; I'll fix up the category page so it works well within the category hierarchy, and I'll help you a bit with the rest of the categorising and organising Okay?
