Re: Edit summaries

I’m sorry you had to read my edit summary that I wrote while most likely in a bad mood. Nothing personal whatsoever meant. Makes me wish Misplaced Pages would let me blank out my own not-very-nice edit summaries like that.

In regards to “not showing "purchased" music”, I’m not sure what you are referring to. Are you referring to the Ubuntu One music store? If so, then Ubuntu One shouldn’t be shown in the screenshot on the Rhythmbox page, as it gives a false representation of Rhythmbox. (e.g. if I were a FreeBSD user, I might see the Ubuntu One icon on the Rhythmbox article, download the .tgz file, and be disappointed when it doesn’t include Ubuntu One support.) — Jeremy 11:29, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

I use Ubuntu, Rhythmbox is available in the package manager along with it's optional plugins including Ubuntu one support. I am not sure if the covers arts are free though, that would for a copyright expert to answer because you never know. Edit summaries can be regrettable as we all know. Occasionally I check my Commons uploads is how I came to see that one.--Theda 04:40, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

About SpaceMETA

Hi Theda, I was writing a post about SpaceMETA, one of the 30 Teams around the world selected by Google Lunar XPrize to the Moon race. Once we was referenced in wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/Google_Lunar_X_Prize , I feel encouraged to explain more about the Team.

I would like to recommend a reconsideration about undelete the post. once its a very transparent and no advertising post, and a theme of big interest for the thecnological people.

We estimate that one of the Teams will have a 1 billion people audience on the day of lunar landing ,,, so it looks like relevant for the internet.

Thank you.
