OS Development Wikiproject proposalJust to add something else to your talk page. I have just put a proposal for a wikiproject on OS development, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Proposals#OS_Development Wondering if you'd interested? Jamie Jatos 09:11, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
EditingHi I noticed you've been editing the wikipedia article on memory segmentation. See as your editing as the same time as me, i'll let you know I am going to be making a few edits to paging. Jatos 21:47, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
Your helpNot at all, Kubanczyk - and as I've just noticed, since you seem to have arrived recently, welcome to Wikipedia! I think your comments are helpful, and maybe I could title the page Dominance and monopoly law? It's also a matter of trying to set it up with the law on mergers and acquisitions and that on collusion and cartels - but maybe they could all follow the format of that in the first... Enough said, glad to have your input. Happy editting! Wikidea 12:58, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
About mod to 3705 comm ctrlYou state that the 3705 is the *first* comm ctrl, etc.. However, the 3705 was preceded by the 3704 and prior to that, by 2701 and 2703 which can also be viewed as communication controller front ends.. Just curious.. --Ivan Ivan Scott Warren 22:19, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

History of IBM mainframe operating systemsSorry to hear you don't like the way the structure of History of IBM mainframe operating systems is developing - and we (naively?) thought we had agreed it. Of course you're free to edit - any one is, and you're part of the "project". I think from now on we should discuss this in Talk:History of IBM mainframe operating systems: it should be public; we can't keep using Talk:MVS, as that would impede people who only want to discuss MVS, and would lead to both MVS-specific discussions and the wider ones being archived because Talk:MVS would grow very quickly. So I've copied all the "rewrite" discussion to Talk:History of IBM mainframe operating systems and pointed this out in Talk:MVS. I've posted in Talk:History of IBM mainframe operating systems an explanation of the current structure so it's public - please reply there.Philcha 12:17, 24 October 2007 (UTC) Incorrect editI left feedback to your inquiry here: [Link] Thanks for removing the dispute of SMPI wanted to thank you for removing the disputed tag off of SMP. I have hoped I have addressed any controversy, and covered all the bases for now. Not that it will ever come up again, but at least for now, I can start further work on the article to bring it along so that it no longer is a 'requires cleanup' article. Thanks! 67.188.118.64 06:57, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
History of IBM mainframe operating systems - where next?I've added as much as I think is sensible, and we need to decide where to go next - see Talk:History of IBM mainframe operating systems . Philcha (talk) 17:30, 19 November 2007 (UTC) Merging into OS/360 and successorsHi. I'm surprised you oppose merging OS/VS1 into OS/360 and successors. Our objective in starting the restructure of articles about IBM mainframe OSs was to reduce duplication. OS/360 and successors already presents more info about OS/VS1 but concisely, because it builds on the info about MFT. The same will be true for merging in MVS etc., except that I currently expect to keep a separate article about z/OS because it's the current member of the OS/360 lineage. I think Wikipedia:Summary Style is more relevant to topics that are common to multiple lineages, e.g. VSAM and SNA in the OS/360, DOS/360 and VM lineages. I suspect these topics should be part of articles "IBM mainframe file access methods" and "IBM data communications facilities". I know this is not exactly what we discussed in Talk: History of IBM mainframe operating systems, at that stage we didn't know that OS/360 and successors would be able to give so much info so concisely. I think "DOS/360 and successors" should go the same way. At present I'm less sure about the article on IBM virtual machine and timesharing OSs, because the pre-VM/370 history is fairly complex. From VM/370 onwards I expect it to be fairly simple. By the way, why is Philcha in your list of "links to check if I'm bored"? Philcha (talk) 09:49, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
Re merging MVS, etc. into OS/360 and successors can you think of any other sources besides the ones I've listed in Talk:OS/360 and successors#Merge with MVS?
Nice to see that you're back. Hope you had a good Christmas and New Year. We need to make some progress with History of IBM Mainframs OSs project. I've asked for some other input on how far we we can merge all the articles on OS variants (including MVS and successors), but I's still like to hear from you about it.

paging and swappingThe point of the edit was to make that distinction early on (it is sometime incorrectly called swapping) without being preachy, and to provide a very brief explanation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.89.175.11 (talk) 21:51, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
For the PDP-10, the KA-10 does swapping of whole segments, (there are two per task), where later models page appropriate fixed sized units. Protected mode 80286 allows swapping of segments (1 to 65536 bytes), while the 80386 adds, in addition, paging. Where it matters, paging is usually fixed size, where swapping isn't. And the paging file is sometimes called swap. Gah4 (talk) 20:53, 24 April 2016 (UTC) Neologism templateResponded!

Transwiki templateIf you don't think {{Transwiki}} should be used, perhaps you should take it to TFD. Personally I think it's much more useful that a generic prod, seeing as how WP:DICT has already been outlined and enforced through the copying process itself. Thoughts? --Closedmouth (talk) 15:40, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Wikipedia template help and guideline pagesHi Kubanczyk! I saw today that you are doing lots of good clean-up and fixes to template related "Wikipedia:" pages. Thanks a lot! It is very much needed! I also saw that you asked about some things over at Wikipedia talk:Navigational templates#Right-side templates to which I had the answer. Since you are probably also fixing such pages I am not watching, feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you need a second opinion on something. That is, link me to the public discussion on a "Wikipedia talk:" page. I prefer public discussions since then we can sometimes get more input from other editors and our conclusions will be available for future editors of those pages. --David Göthberg (talk) 23:07, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
CENT conclusionsI've stumbled upon Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Conclusions, and my first thought was to make it {{historical}}. But, I've noticed you are a single person still updating it, so I would like to ask: why? Conclusions will be always looked upon on the original talk pages anyway, nobody will search in a such well-hidden place. --Kubanczyk (talk) 19:19, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Reverting editsOn User talk:Bobo192, Kubanczyk said:
Supplement at P&G pageWhile I agree that policy should be implemented through rigorous application of the consensus process, I also believe that they should reflect practice. While I don't support the supplement tag or concept, the tag has been "approved" and is in use. Therefore it seems that it must be described at the policy page just like essay, guideline and policy are. It seems that the discussion and approval already happened at the tag's talk page. How should we proceed? Thanks! --Kevin Murray (talk) 14:52, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi, this is just a (much) belated reply to a comment you put on Talk:Memory-mapped I/O. Since this is in reply to the "Off-topic WP:OR" part of your comment, I'm putting it here and not in the article talk page. But here goes. Regarding your comment:
Here's my reply: The I/O registers that are mapped into memory aren't necessarily "storage" in the same sense as the computer's memory. Their values might be changed by the I/O hardware, or they might do something different on read versus write. The value might not even matter -- there might just be a side effect to the act of accessing that address (on the Apple II series of 8-bit computers, reading from a certain location would result in a "click" from the loudspeaker; that was how you generated sounds). Now, memory-mapping the contents of a hard drive does happen. But I think it's done via virtual memory -- attempts to access a page from the disk, that isn't currently cached in RAM, result in I/O (and the page being cached in RAM). And that I/O might take place via any mechanism (though DMA is probably the most common). Mapping a disk into memory is done in for example OS/400 (and I presume they're mapping it into virtual memory) (UNIX/Linux can also do this, and I would be surprised if Windows couldn't, but I don't suppose either does so as part of "normal" operation). It doesn't actually make the filesystem that much less useful -- you've still got the need to keep track of the objects you've stored, and share them between different programs, and provide a way for the user to refer to them. But you could conceivably have a system in which everything is in the file system ("memory" as well as "disk" files); see Multics. -- Why Not A Duck 22:31, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

DAB link on VirtualHi, the reason I removed the link to the dab page virtualization from virtual is that it violates WP:DPL. Specifically: "Ideally, article namespace pages should not link to disambiguation pages, with rare exceptions in which the ambiguity of a term is being discussed; instead, links should go directly to the appropriate article." I'm sorry that I left this ref out of the edit summary. There are already 9 specific links to various types of virtual things in the body. I don't see any need to confuse the matter by linking to virtualization. UncleDouggie (talk) 21:02, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Arbitrated Loop and Fibre ChannelYour claim that "More than 2 ports on the loop can communicate at the same time" on an arbitrated loop is not correct. From the time of the OPN primitive to the CLS primitive, only one pair of ports may communicate. See the fibre channel specification FC_AL-3: "FC-AL features enhanced Ports, called L_Ports, which arbitrate to access an Arbitrated Loop. Once an L_Port wins arbitration, a second L_Port may be opened to complete a single point-to-point circuit (i.e., com- munication path between two L_Ports). When two connected L_Ports release control of the Arbitrated Loop, another point-to-point circuit may be established." Smallpond (talk) 21:54, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
Reviewer Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010. Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages. When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here. If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. -- Ϫ 17:31, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi. As you recently commented in the straw poll regarding the ongoing usage and trial of Pending changes, this is to notify you that there is an interim straw poll with regard to keeping the tool switched on or switching it off while improvements are worked on and due for release on November 9, 2010. This new poll is only in regard to this issue and sets no precedent for any future usage. Your input on this issue is greatly appreciated.

Hi, your inputs is appreciated, but please don't dump the data that is work under progress like links page. If you want to clean it up 2 weeks before me - OK, just don't cut. Also you have written 'this is not flying model this is pre-programmed'. Actually, in some countries it is in some it is not; this is why it was not stated. It is not that I 'own' the page somehow, it is that among 80% nice syntax corrections, you put 20% that is highly misleading, and cutting the links is basically like a sabotage when I am trying to convince the guys running processing services: "c'mon you are not visible on wiki, let's fix this so the basic facts will be kept in straight and accessible manner". At the same moment you perform 'backdoor sbotage' by cutting the section while ignoring what is written there. UAV community uses groundstation as a single world, only ppl relying on MS Word checking put it separate. We use it as a special word for a new item. But ok nevermind. If you want to help, understand, then rearrange. Don't cut. Or let me do it.

Aircraft superchargersYour point about the dates of the first "series production" superchargers, and whether these were for cars or aircraft, is interesting. To fend off the inevitable questions over this (I thought aircraft were first myself), could you please add a footnote, explaining just which series production cars we refer to.

Dyott's GnomeAfternoon Kubanczyk: thanks for removing the circumflexes. Don't know if I put them there because there is one in Rhône, or because one of my sources does (wrongly, I agree) have one in Gnome. Re the Omega: this was a 50 hp engine but so were the first Gnomes, which were not given type names. There might have been some retrospective labelling, but you would not call your first engine Omega. So it's hard to known whether it's an Omega or not and I think we should not guess, in the absence of a citable source. Both of my "early Brits" books (Lewis and Goodall & Tagg) describe the engine as a 50 hp Gnome, with no name. The Dyott does not appear on Lumsden's list of Omega users, though it's not on any of his lists. I'm not sure if all his Gnome users ran UK built Gnomes, or if French ones are included.TSRL (talk) 13:39, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
Microsoft DPM is replication based technologyNoticed your comment on Microsoft DPM. Microsoft sell the DPM solution as a backup solution and it certainly provides this. However, what DPM actually does is faithfully replicates data from a machine to a centralised machine. This is a clone of the orginal data represented on the DPM server on a filesystem. What makes DPM eventually a backup solution is that it periodically creates snapshots on the DPM server thereby providing historical copies of the data. This added functionality however doesnt negate the fact that data was transfered and stored from source to destination in a replication fashion. In fact, Microsoft even promote the use of DPM for replication.

Battle of Brody pageHi, I am the anonymous user 206.248.134.185. I did most of the main body of the recent 2011 additions to the text. Like your contribution of the table for tank forces. From there we should actually be able to do a good estimate of the actual number of Soviet Tanks engaged in the battle of Dubno. We know for example that the 4th and 22nd Corps only contributed one division each to the battle. The other 4 corps 19th, 16th, 8th and 15th were fully engaged. The 8th had lost half of its older tanks before reaching Dubno. Also, properly its 22nd Corps not "22th" Corps in English. And you seem to have listed the 19th Corps twice, with different numbers.

2011 China FloodsHi, I completely see your point about simple minded folk not seeing that the image pertains to average rainfall - I don't know where to get a free image just showing flooded areas, nor how to change the image that is there to a 'current rainfall compared to expected rainfall' map. Almost al the areas that were dark blue on the average rainfall map have had some flooding, so it wouldn't be much different in that regard.

Merge discussion for Access time
Flak Corps articleYour comment "The course of this reasoning makes little sense." -- is a bit confusing. The Allies had air superiority in 1944-45; in fact, the Luftwaffe was little seen over the battlefields where the Flak Corps were deployed. Thus, the use of anti-aircraft guns for the purpose for which they were originally designed (protection of their own troops from air attack) would seem to be a statement that makes sense -- what makes "little sense" about it?

Reverting Replication EditsHello. Please explain your revert (conflict of interest does not seem to fit). I fixed the wording to make it read better, and added the information that latency is a key determinate of network replication choice. Although this is common knowledge to some, others may not realize it. To justify the statement, I've provided a link to an expert blog. If you know of another cite where the point is crystallized as well or better, please add that link. In my view, the article can be improved, and I made a step in that direction. Simply reverting the article erases progress. Instead, I suggest you progress the quality by editing it forward if you disagree with my re-write. So, please improve my improvements, come up with a better cite, and/or dispute my fact about impact of latency on replication.

Victor Suvorov's book Беру Свои Слова Обратно english titleFrom this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Suvorov This book hasn't been edited in English, so it's hard to translate it's title. I checked in Google Translator and Беру Свои Слова Обратно may mean either: "The words back", "My words back" , "Back his words" (Zhukov's), "Their words back" (communist historians), or "Your words back". I read this book and it is Suvorov's criticism of Zhukov's memoirs, which according to Suvorov were probably a forgery, ghostwritten by Soviet historians to create a myth of Zhukov as a great commander. Hence the translation "My words back", or "I take my words back" is rather little probable. "the words", "his words" or "their words" would be probably better, although it is hard to determine. Maybe just leave the Russian original title? 83.27.198.210 (talk) 10:49, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Article on Churchill and Chemical Weapons in WWII renamedThe article has been renamed to Chemical weapons and the United Kingdom with the addition of the section from United Kingdom and weapons of mass destruction; possibly this section of the article could be reduced to an outline.

Magioladitis (talk) 16:41, 1 April 2012 (UTC) Disambiguation link notification for October 9Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 7th Rifle Division (Soviet Union), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sverdlovsk (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.

WP:now and WP:circularI agree with you about circular references, but I feel like it would have more bite if we could name a prominent case where this has happened. Thanks for getting involved, good to know I'm not the only one who thinks it actually matters what is on Wikipedia! :) Risingrain (talk) 23:10, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
Tulip mania edit?I'll revert your edit at Tulip mania with the comment (re-verified the source, saying what the source says). It doesn't make sense that you re-verified the source and then just left "citation needed" four times in one paragraph. I believe that if you check the source you'll find that the single footnote at the end of the paragraph covers it all. Please do refrain from leaving "citation needed" multiple times in a single paragraph. Smallbones(smalltalk) 02:09, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
Article Feedback deploymentHey Kubanczyk; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 22:30, 13 March 2013 (UTC) DYK-Good Article Request for Comment
Glad Tidings and all that ...
kpatch articleHello! I've reverted your edits on the kpatch article because we should wait until Linux kernel 4.0 is actually released. I'm keeping an eye on it, and will get both kpatch and kGraft articles updated once 4.0 is released, what should happen soon. Hope you agree. — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 19:35, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
7.5 cm Pak 40I'm trying to spruce up the 7.5 cm Pak 40 article. Some time ago you (I think) made an edit suggesting that UK and German sources differ on the introduction dates. Can you point me to any of these sources? The article could use more refs in general, and anything useful will improve matters. Maury Markowitz (talk) 13:55, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
Hi, Spaceflight historyHi there. I really appreciate a lot of your recent edits to clean up and copyedit various articles. But I'd like to discuss a bit of Wiki-philosophy on articles and History first. I'll start a section to discuss on one of the related Talk pages. Cheers. N2e (talk) 17:49, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

Noticed (a bit too late) you faced the plain wrong statement considerin a Tape Drive as a Tape device similar to a Tape recorder... thus defining it as a sequential access device. Suppose that is the result of a didactic reference to tape, which is sequential, then aplyed to a tape drive. Reason for contact is I tried to correct that situation, just to see the corrections "reverted" to the previous 'pushed' belief. One of the reasons may be the presence of a Commodore Tape Recorder with Modem, that may be (as emotional attachment) the source of the misconception. The page seems to be under it's spell. A nice recorder, a nice entry device, hardly a drive. How to deal with such 'knowledge'?!? So, Would like to get your advice on to insist or to drop any hope to see correct information here on wikipedia. Frankly, I have no interest of defending the subject, much less against 'believers'. It's much like the teaching a pig to ride a bicycle joke: We should not teach a pig to ride because:

Addressing'(whoever wants to learn about endianness, typically doesn't understand addressing yet; so lets not confuse them at the very beginning) I suppose, but without it the statement isn't completely accurate. You say "stored first" which, without mentioning addressing, would seem to imply stored at an earlier time. On many machines, the memory path is wide enough that the whole word is written at the same time. Yes, little endian is convenient for simpler processors doing addition and propagating a carry, but you still need to get the address idea in there somewhere. Gah4 (talk) 16:59, 23 April 2016 (UTC) The terms bit endianness and bit-level endianness are seldom used to describe storing the numerical values in memory, as the order of bits in memory would be only meaningful in the rare computer architectures where each individual bit has a unique address. In all types of systems, the documentation often needs to number the bits to refer readers to them. Again, both ordering conventions are used in various documentations. Some have a bit set instruction with a bit index, even though normally one can't address bits. Also, documentation bit numbering can be important for those doing assembly programming, or other low-level work. bit endianness is reasonably often used in such descriptions.
