A belated welcome to Wikipedia. We could really use a hand in the computing area.
After some deliberation the community consensus established that specifications of computer programs must be written using present tense and stative verbs. Basically, when you write "Visual Studio 2012 was an IDE", it beckons the question "Was? What is it now?" You can find more details in WP:COMPNOW.
Ah, thanks, I had no idea. And thinking about it, that kind of makes sense, since old versions of software don't disappear. In fact, they're ALL still in use where I work... :-) Norvoid (talk) 08:55, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Norvoid! It was my first article on Wikipedia.I'm new from here so I really don't know how to edit. :)) 1011025m (talk) 14:02 21 November 2015 (HKT)
Hi Norvid you contacted me today about removing citations on the Gamesys page. We awarded their Jackpotjoy brand 3 accolades in 2015 and rightly cited the achievement on their page. Why do you see it fit to remove our awards references yet you did not remove EGR reference or the egaming review reference? also if you check the 2010 awards for site of the year, that was also ours and I am going to add the required citation to that bullet point. Do you work for Gamesys are you a partner of their brand or one their subsidiary companies? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Whichbingouk (talk • contribs) 13:59, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I do not work for Gamesys nor for any of their partners; indeed, I've just removed a giant steaming pile of advertising content from the Gamesys article. Please have a read of Wikipedia:Spam for more information on why linkspamming is not allowed on Wikipedia. Thank you. Norvoid (talk) 14:03, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
NO you've removed awards references - We are the official UK Bingo Awards providers, we awarded gamsys 3 awards this year and you've deleted them? Please explain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Whichbingouk (talk • contribs) 14:44, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Some of our partners have suggested we add our awards to their Wiki reference, you are making a wild assumption because I am new. I am simply following a request from some of our Bingo Partners and then I decided to add awards to some other pages whilst I am logged in to save time. We have given over 50 awards in the last 10 years to LOTS of bingo brands and they have suggested we add these to Wikipedia. I am trying to save time by doing these in one go. Have you deleted the EGR awards reference on Gamesys? How is that different?--Whichbingouk (talk) 15:40, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It's hardly a wild assumption that someone has a conflict of interest, when they edit as "Whichbingouk", call themself "our" and "we", and contribute nothing but links to the WhichBingo website. I clearly will not be able to persuade you to stop merely by pointing out Wikipedia policy to you, so please note that an administrator will block your account, and your website will get added to Wikipedia's spam blacklist, if it keeps being used for spamming. Norvoid (talk) 15:49, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This is far too childish to even bother with, there are real problems in the world. Our partners wanted us to reference their awards, they assumed we were the right people to add them to wikipedia, seeing as we are the only people who can officially vouch for them. I will tell them to ask somebody else to do it. As they have officially won these awards, who would you suggest is the right person to cite OUR awards on those pages?--Whichbingouk (talk) 15:57, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You are the right person to write about any other subject, apart from yourself or your company. If you want to help improve the encyclopaedia, there are over five million articles here on the English-language Wikipedia alone, plus many worthwhile subjects which haven't been written about yet. Pick something that you don't have a conflict of interest over, but find interesting, and write about that instead. Thanks, Norvoid (talk) 19:03, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You've already had Wikipedia's notability guidelines explained to you when it was moved to a draft, but you don't seem to want to listen to the advice of any of the editors who've tried to help you already. Norvoid (talk) 17:14, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The wiki-wheels are still turning so I don't think we did any lasting damage ;-) I see you're relatively new, how are you finding Wikipedia? samtar{t}18:21, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jackpd7. I'm sure it's true that he runs his own news website and blog, that he once helped save some puppies, and that he formerly worked for a political party, but there's nothing in the article to show how he meets the notability guidelines at Wikipedia:Notability (people), including WP:JOURNALIST or WP:POLITICIAN. Wikipedia has certain minimum standards of notability for including an article on any subject, including biographies. Has anybody else written about at length? The reference about the puppy, and the ones about his political involvement, only mention him briefly in passing, and the rest of the references are articles that he's written himself. We need substantial coverage from reliable, secondary sources to establish his notability. Thanks, Norvoid (talk) 10:06, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Actually that's not how Wikipedia works: on Wikipedia the burden of proof is on the editor making the claim. Please read WP:VERIFY, and WP:BURDEN. It's particularly important on biographies of living persons: please see WP:BLP for more information on policy for biographies. Norvoid (talk) 18:43, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
all facts and reference had been given along with proof but u dont want to understand if u have made you mind that I will not agree for this article even if god arrive with proof then no one can help.Its authentic JDPRADHAN (talk) 18:49, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No, I haven't made my mind up, I'm just waiting for a reference that supports what you're saying. You've tried twice to reference the claim with a Google search that doesn't say anything about Akhbar News being the first Hindi site in .News. That's not "proof", no matter who says it. Unreferenced claims about living persons aren't allowed on Wikipedia, and that's nothing to do with what you or I believe to be true, it's simply a matter of policy hammered out over several years by many experienced editors. We might be absolutely certain that something's true, but we're not allowed to write it down here on Wikipedia without verification from a reliable source. Norvoid (talk) 19:36, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No you have made mind otherwise after all this reference u are not agree its only sole news website which has domain with .news which is exceptional JDPRADHAN (talk) 19:49, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You said, "no, editor couldn't even be bothered to make this tripe up". Someone did, and I'm hoping there's a pink-frilled room waiting for them in Hell with repetitive ambient music (at varying levels of intensity and speed, but always the same thirty second loop), a library of romantic novels with the last chapters missing, and nothing to eat but candy floss. Or am I being cruel? Peridon (talk) 14:50, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
On the one hand, not everybody is articulate enough to write down how they feel to a friend, a father, and so on, so I can sort of understand the greeting card industry. On the other hand, nothing says "sincerity" quite like pasting "You brought me every single toy that I wanted when I was young. I hope I can return the favor when I grow up by achieving every single goal that you always wanted me to. I love you.", from the "Valuevity Media" website. Aww, honey, you're the best investment I ever made. Norvoid (talk) 15:32, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Norvoid! I wanted to thank you for tagging that page for CSD. It was my fault; I made a typo in my talk page header template, which inadvertently led a user (who must have accidentally clicked on that URL instead of the regular one) to create that page. I've moved the created page, tagged the redirect for CSD, and removed yours off of the moved page. Just wanted to let you know. Thanks again :-) ~Oshwah~ (talk)(contribs)13:13, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I received your message saying that I'd created a page about myself. However, I did not create the page. My publisher (University of Missouri Press) told me that they created the page. I am in the process of bringing it up to Wikipedia standards. I have many external links and references that I can add. I have not edited on Wikipedia before, and I am finding the process slow, but I am moving forward on it.
Hi Gail. I strongly recommend that you read Wikipedia:Autobiography, and not edit the article about you or U. Missouri Press. There are over five million articles, along with the countless other subjects which haven't been written about yet. Please resist the temptation to write about subjects with which you're closely connected. Thanks, Norvoid (talk) 14:51, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

EranBot Project - Copyright Violation Detection
A new copy-paste detection bot is now in general use on English Wikipedia. Come check it out at the EranBot reporting page. This bot utilizes the Turnitin software (ithenticate), unlike User:CorenSearchBot that relies on a web search API from Yahoo. It checks individual edits rather than just new articles. Please take 15 seconds to visit the EranBot reporting page and check a few of the flagged concerns. Comments welcome regarding potential improvements.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Hello, Norvoid. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page here in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back through WP:ECHO or by leaving a note at User talk:Piotrus. Thank you.
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.
