User talk:Soumyasch/archive 8Harry PotterSir, stop vandalizing my article, for the hard copy of the proof exists. Please do not be bitter that I cannot be wrong on the matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ScythedBlade (talk • contribs) DatamonitorHi Soumyasch I was wondering if you could help me with a problem i am having with an article for Datamonitor plc. I notice that on the 10th June you deleted the Datamonitor page and i was just wondering if you could tell me why? Last year we tried to add a page for Datamonitor and it was deleted as the adminstrators felt the text was not suitable. We did not argue this and the page was deleted. However i then noticed that some content was restored and had been added to, and this page was added by an independent person with nothing to do with Datamonitor. Therefore the page was not added as a form of advertising, as was implied previously when i myself added content, so i am at a loss as to why it has now been taken down? If you could shed any light on this for me it would be much appreciated. It seems slightly crazy to me that pages for companies that we own, such as Verdict research and Ovum, are allowed yet a page for Datamonitor is not. We are most definitely a notible company and provide research that is often quoted and sited, and i am sure people would be interested to know the history of the copmany from which the research comes. I look forward to your feedback Thanks Jennifer Tandy Windows Live DriveNo rush to do anything or merge any articles. Read the Windows Live Drive article itself - and it does mention it will provide 2GB of storage (well - announced back then in 2004). Not many people know what actually is going on, but we know it is in the works. Pikablu0530 10:37, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

My comp broke down beyond repair in May and I'm waiting for particular hardware to appear before purchasing a brand new one. Btw, is there any way to contact you besides wikipedia? --User talk:Xpclient cytotechnologythanks for your help re cytotechnology. your comments were all on point. i have now entered my email address, and I assume that you can email the content that had been deleted. again, thanks for your professionalism/helpfulness. Journalist1983 11:13, 29 June 2007 (UTC) Dear Soumyasch I hope I am not responding incorrectly- please forgive me if I am, I can't figure out the talk thing correctly, I am just trying to respond to a message left by you to me from yesterday. You chose to delete all of my contributions to the keyword amber, but I am not sure why. The message I read really seemed like a vague catch all without consideration for each of the links individually. Each of those links was legitimate. The International Amber Association is the world's primary & foremost amber organization, composed of researchers, scholars, amber jewelry factories, studios, artisans, & experts, not to mention being a non-profit entity. Why would you delete that link in a wiki with the subject "amber"? Are you familiar with this organization or even know what it is, did you visit the page & read about them? Nova, Jewel of the Earth is a link to interactive documentary pages - why would you delete that? Every link you deleted was not only thoughtful but an actual contribution to help this very weak amber page evolve- a page which is asking for outside expert help, is it not? How are the articles for the Amber Reading Room inappropriate? I really do not understand the reasoning used to reject these links. Can you help me understand this, because I have been involved in the amber trade for ten years and I find wikipedia's amber linkage quite pathetic. It doesn't even categorize properly. Amber has amazing history, cultural & scientific value as well as a rich history of jewelry & art forms & this page is seriously underdeveloped. Doug Lundberg frmo AmbericaWest, for example, innovated an important amber listserv many years ago. If you could clarify the philosophy behind rejecting links focused on the cultural, historic & current amber jewelry industry - which employes more than 10,000 people in Pomerania - I would be grateful, or perhaps you could help me figure out a category that would be acceptable. ? i.e. Should I start a page about the International Amber Association since Wikipedia has deemed there is no legitimate connection between the two? Thank you- User talk:honeystung Moi... LolitaHi Soumyasch, I understand your reasoning somewhat on limiting the amount of countries where the single charted, but it doesn't seem necessary as other singles often list where the single charted within the top 100 or the top 20. I have no intention of adding its charting in Sweden (#52) but listing the countries where it was in the top 20 would be useful for users that only give a quick glance as it shows the popularity of the song, which is something few French songs have done. If you are interested, here are some examples, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_the_things_she_said http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Me_against_the_Music http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey_%28Mariah_Carey_song%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pagan_Poetry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truly_Madly_Deeply_%28Cascada_song%29 - Jayran 16:42, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

You were quite right, as it did have no content at that time. However, yesterday when I last edited it at around 15:00 it did have lots of content. I cannot find any record of the page being removed before you removed it for no content in the deletion logs, therefore I think either it has not been loged or somebody has for some reason deleted all of the content. Is there any way to restore this previous version of the page? Best, George Warren Peter and the Wolf (film)Hi, You were quite right.

you deleted the terranim8or page please reconsiderhello, you deleted my page because you say it was a blatent advertisement, i just started it, i don't know how you knew it was there so fast, in fact. i had just started it and was planning to make it more like the anim8or wiki page, but didn't have time to, you probably thought it was advertising because of the link in the first sentence (right?), but i just wanted to put it in. i was adding the capabilities and when i clicked save it said that it had been deleted while i was editing. i wasn't advertising, i'm not even afiliated whith the program, i just thought there should be a page for it. in the anim8or page it mentions the program and i figured there should be a page explaining what it did. sory for the long winded-ness of this Sciwizeh 13:24, 6 July 2007 (UTC) Why did you delete the Solaris (New Jersey Band) page?I want to know.

That will help me on the path towards taking it to a FA.--Christopher Tanner, CCC 19:24, 7 July 2007 (UTC) RE: SVGTo add a shadow to Image:NGSCB.svg you should make a copy of the object to be shadowed (in this cases the boxes which look like rounded rectangles), then scale it so it is slightly larger than the original. You may want to move the shadow for effect. Then set the colour to black and the transparancy to about 30. Finally, send the shadow behind the original object. That's your basic shadow. I hope this helps. You could also consider blurring the shadow, but this can cause problem's with MediaWiki's rendering of SVGs. I noticed that the various boxes have a gradient to them, and that the gradients blend to transparent. Is this intentional? (Inkscape renders transparent as white, I think). Also, you might consider putting the {{Inkscape}} template on the image page. If there's anything else you'd like to ask a self-confessed Inkscape Nerd, feel free to do so. It's good to see that people can find the Graphics Lab and ask it for help. --Dave the Rave (DTR)talk 19:37, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

I am fine with blatant advertising of companies, but open source project should be treated differently. We have one million downloads of the software and the largest community in open source. Can you just delete MySQL, SugarCRM, JBoss and any other open source project for me? I would appreciate not being treated differently than anyone else. Thanks, fabrizio Gling GlingSoumyasch: I just noticed "Gling Gling" has been deleted. After reading the "Why was my entry deleted" page, its still not clear to me why. Given that I hear the phrase being used more and more often I am hoping that you will reconsider its inclusion in Wikipedia. Thanks, Christopher Vera 2007-07-17: Soumyasch: Received your message. I can't argue about the "non-notable person" part ;-) Although the five days has passed, is there any way to contest it that would result in the page being restored? Thanks, CMV DatamonitorHi Soumyasch Many thanks for your reply regarding the Datamonitor article, i would really appreciate it if you could put the article back up minus the timeline and i will look into adding some none promotional content.

International Republican Institute VandalismHi Soumyasch. Not sure if you recall, but you helped respond to creeping vandalism of the IRI page on June 24 with a partial ban on edits by IP addresses. Well the ban expired on 10 July and the vandalism was repeated on the 12th, this time by an new user account set up for the purpose (User:Democracy activist). Care to help? Haven't placed a warning on the user talk page yet - wasn't sure whether Uw-vandalism4 or Uw-vandalism4im was most appropriate. Thanks for your help. Cheers Saganaki- 23:14, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Please do not replace the <code> tag with <source> in Wikipedia articles unless you are very sure that you know what you're doing. <source> has many bugs and infelicities at the moment. Maybe someday it will be usable on Wikipedia, but not yet. For more information, see MediaWiki talk:Geshi.css. Until <source> is usable, the proper method of including code on Wikipedia is to use <code>, optionally with the (currently ignored) Explanation for Deletion (Windows Media Audio)Hello. I noticed that you have deleted my last entry on the Windows Media Audio article. Specifically the following: "One online store that sells music using this codec is MusicGiants." The above quote was for informational purposes, that it is being used for online music distribution, just like WMA (Standard), which is not common knowledge. I can see you may have misinterpreted the sentence as an advertisement. If you refer to the Digital Rights Management section of the article: "The PlaysForSure DRM technology supports time-limited subscription music such as those offered by unlimited download services, such as MTV's URGE, Napster, Rhapsody, Yahoo! Music Unlimited and Virgin Digital." You will see that not one, but several businesses are listed for the purposes of reference. Not that I am bothered by your deletion but please don't take my good will as "ad spam". :] I have reverted the deletion and changed the sentence to make it less "spamy". Please contact me if you believe it requires editing. Thank you. Nicholas2020 15:02, 23 July 2007 (UTC) Windows Media AudioHello. Thanks for your feedback. I have edited the sentence once again to reflect your input. Thanks for understanding my intent. : ) I must admit I have used the wrong way to reference this "fact" by using an external link to the store rather than an article about its existence, which I am regretful about. Like you said, sometimes it is a little difficult for me to type something that is totally not based on your experience or observation, even if it is one that you are very sure about. For example you have pointed out the "only a few stores ..." quote of mine. Even though there are strong reasons to believe so (by researching on the Internet), up to the point where it can even be considered a fact, I guess there's just this element of subjectivity. I have a lot to learn, and thanks for pointing that out! : ) As always, feel free to contact me if you find any of my contributions are not "up to scratch", so to speak. Thank you.

Obviously links to office2k8 from the main Microsoft Office article would make sense since that article addresses both Mac and Windows versions of Office, however Office 2007 is Windows only and again I do not see how the next Mac version plays into it.

I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself. If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy.

Videmus Omnia Talk 15:07, 7 August 2007 (UTC) W3C Recommendation vs. Standard (Internet Explorer)You made a comment when undo'ing a change back in June that W3C Recommendation is not a Standard. I don't think this is accurate. W3C Recommendation is the W3C's highest imprint, and thus qualifies as a Standard by any rational definition. The term "Recommendation" was a political accomodation that W3C makes in its charter. Note that IETF and other de facto standards organizations do not have per se legal standard body status. That is, they are not per se recognized by international trade groups, which are de jure bodies. If you believe otherwise, then I am sad to report that there is no such thing as a Standard for the web, as neither ISO, ANSI, ECMA, or any other formal body has ratified any of the HTML, XML, CSS, HTTP, etc specificiations. In other words, W3C Recommendation is the highest status today. This is important to keep clear as a means of keeping the energy around this civil and useful. It's appropriate that the page keep a good record of how Microsoft does and doesn't support standards, but we need to be as accurate as possible. As you do spend time cleaning up the IE pages I thought I would flag this. (fwiw, me=Microsoft employee)
A star for you Hey I need some help with choosing a license on this image. I sent e-mails to 2 people about this image and according to Matt Dellinger "I got the image from HNTB, who designed the bridge", and according to John Weeks "The images were produced as part of the design process, so I assume that they are government images and thus available for reuse." I would guess that this image was also done by HNTB, so I used the license on that page. Tell me if I'm correct.
