Definition of inventor

It seems that there's a dispute as to whether the USPTO/patent law definition of "inventor" is the same as the Oxford definition.

According to the online glossary provided by uspto.gov, an "inventor" is someone "who contributes to the conception of an invention."

The Oxford dictionary defines an "inventor" as "a person who invented a particular process or device or who invents things as an occupation." To "invent", according to their definition, is to create or design (something that has not existed before)or be the originator of a product.

The uspto.gov definition gives a person the legal status of inventor if they contribute to a conception of a device, no matter how small the contribution (as long as they contribute to its concept). From my interpretation of the Oxford definition, the words "create", "design" and " originator" imply that that person is mostly or solely responsible for that product's coming into existence, and there's no evidence that Jobs played this role in any of his patents.

He is an "inventor", but by USPTO standards. Feel free to give me your own interpretation of the two definitions. In my opinion, there are subtle differences between the two, hence the edit. (Nbanato (talk) 08:57, 19 February 2013 (UTC))[reply]

So you're saying he was a co-inventor in some cases. Again, this was already in the text and did not need to be elaborated. --SubSeven (talk) 15:52, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As long as it says that he is legally a primary inventor and/or a co-inventor by USPTO (United States Patent Trademark Office) standards clearly, I'm fine with that. Try changing the words of the sentence until we reach an agreement. (Nbanato (talk) 17:13, 20 February 2013 (UTC))[reply]

By saying he is credited with USPTO patents, are we not doing exactly that? --SubSeven (talk) 18:29, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you are still trying to say that USPTO doesn't know what it means to be an inventor, that is well outside the scope of an article about Steve Jobs, and, more importantly is not mentioned anywhere in the source. --SubSeven (talk) 18:36, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bad Blood episode dispute

I saw you got involved with the Breaking Bad episode dispute. The editor in question proceeded to use obscenities to defend his position. This editor referred to an IP as a terrorist and an editor as a little bitch last month and was warned such behavior is uncalled for and could lead to blocking. Now he is referring to another editor as a giant dick and using obscenities. I figured I should let you know. Further, it seems like his behavior escalates. I felt you deserved a heads up. 108.76.229.159 (talk) 15:58, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Q re linking to Chessgames.com games (not Openings Explorer)

Hi SubSeven. Can I ask you a Q? Do you remember this thread? (It was about removing Infobox links to Chessgames.com's Openings Explorer.) My Q isn't about that (though I still think the free info up to where a paywall would block, has use and value; you felt WP:ELNO says don't link to sites requiring payment to see the info), but a related Q ... WP:ELNO discourages linking to sites requiring payment, what about two points down where WP:ELNO discourages linking to sites requiring Java? (There are many many links to Chessgames.com games in chess-related articles.) I guess I'd like to get your opinion on that, how you read that, and what is consistent and why or why not. Thanks for your consider. Ihardlythinkso (talk) 06:44, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's kind of fuzzy, since they do have a non-Java game viewer option, but, if the default behavior when hitting a CG.com game page is to attempt to load a Java applet, which I believe is the case, then I think alternatives should be considered. I think it's something that should be discussed. --SubSeven (talk) 15:26, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that's the case, too (i.e. default is Java). I was interested in why you wouldn't for example feel the situation was clearly against policy rather than fuzzy, since on the paywall issue your take was a strict application of what it says at ELNO about sites requiring payment to view content. (It discourages use in virtually the same language at ELNO re sites that require Java. [Only the word "Java" supplanted word "payment", basically.] I'm wondering why fuzzy re policy here, but not fuzzy re policy re paywall, in your thinking. What is the consistency. [I'm not familiar w/ the non-Java viewer at Chessgames.com, I'd like to go there to find it 'cause I'm curious how they work that w/o Java. OK, I think I understand you that the existence of said option was the tipping factor in your assessment of paywall versus Java in ELNO. Sorry if I didn't catch that at first.) Thanks. Ihardlythinkso (talk) 15:55, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The fuzzy part is whether these pages require Java. Technically you can disable Java and still get all of the information. So I don't know if I would automatically strike it based on that. I'm honestly not sure how to apply the policy there. --SubSeven (talk) 16:03, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OK I found this at the site:

Chessgames.com requires Java which may not be present on your computer. You can download Java for free from here. Java technology, unfortunately, tends to be unstable for some users. To solve this, we provide more than one Java viewer: if one doesn't work, try another. (You can change your Java viewer setting on the preferences page or on any game page.)

Note that it is possible to configure your browser to view PGN files from the web in a PGN viewing application; once you do this, the "download PGN" link found on the game pages should display the game using your own software.

Man! (The latter sounds like a bit of a hassle to get the value. Remember we link 1000s of games on Chessgames.com in 100s of chess-related articles.) Ok, Ihardlythinkso (talk) 16:08, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That information looks somewhat out of date. There is definitely a non-Java viewer available (pgn2web), because I use it. It is documented at this link.

That said, if the Wikipedia end user follows these links and has to fool around with viewer configuration to avoid using Java, that's not exactly ideal. So I do think it's a grey area. --SubSeven (talk) 19:19, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Plainlist template removals

Could you please explain why you removed the plainlist template from those The Following episodes? You didn't provide an edit summary. Gloss • talk 20:07, 19 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The markup was contradictory, using both the plainlist template (unbulleted list), and asterisks which would indicate a bulleted list.

If you think the plainlist is better, I don't really care, but I think it's generally accepted practice to use the bulleted list for episode guest stars. --SubSeven (talk) 21:12, 19 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding [Publius Enigma]

Hi SubSeven,

You undid a revision on the [Publius Enigma] page. In what capacity are you an authority on the subject ? As a poster at alt.music.pink-floyd I've personally followed the history of this since 1994, and the "mystery" has long been exposed as a hoax. Please do not undo valuable edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.78.42.30 (talk) 06:57, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop interfering with the Publius Enigma Page. If you wish to demonstrate that the Enigma is not a hoax, then YOU need to provide a reference from a legitimate primary source. An anonymous message on a usenet forum is as good as this source will get or needs to be. Therefore, the Publius Enigma is a hoax given the nature of the communication. Just as many other hoaxes and illegal activities were perpetrated from anon.penet.fi addresses. If there was a puzzle associated with The Division Bell, then the band would have said so, which they didn't. They repeatedly denied any knowledge of it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yanickborg (talk • contribs) 22:44, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Homeland (season 5)

Hi SubSeven, I know you write all the summaries for the Homeland episode articles (great work, by the way!) and that you don't write condensed versions for the season articles, however, I'm wondering if you could take a look at Homeland (season 5) as a new editor is adding plot summaries. They're not horribly written, though they do have various tense and grammar errors that I've been trying to fix up, but I'm sure they could be improved or condensed, and maybe are missing key details. If you have the time, could you give them a look-over. Thanks. Drovethrughosts (talk) 14:01, 1 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I just finished up my final round of cleaning up the summaries. I left a message on their page regarding the incorrect use of past tense, but they continued to use it for all the summaries after I left the message... I did the best I could, I mainly focused on the incorrect tense and the various grammar issues (maybe English is not their first language?). Anyway, I'm sure they could be tidied up a bit more.

"Stop wasting our time"

Per your reversion of my removal of a sentence in the article on Mulholland Dr., I have read the "Reception" area, and I found NOTHING in it that supports the assertion that the film is "widely regarded" as "one of the greatest films of the 21st century." If you find anything in the section that specifically says so, please point it out to me. My purpose in pointing out the Rotten Tomatoes information was that its very inclusion argues against the film being considered that highly. "Who cares about Rotten Tomatoes?" you ask. If you don't, then delete it. I just pointed it out as evidence to the contrary of the statement made in the opening. I made the deletion in good faith and don't really deserve the condescension.

This is to inform you that an attempt is being made to overturn an RfC that you voted on

This is to inform you that an attempt is being made to overturn an RfC that you voted on (2 RfCs, actually, one less than six months ago and another a year ago). The new RfC is at:

Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#RfC: Allow private schools to be characterized as non-affiliated as well as religious, in infobox?

Specifically, it asks that "religion = none" be allowed in the infobox.

The first RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:

• 15 June 2015 RfC: RfC: Religion infobox entries for individuals that have no religion.

The result of that RfC was "unambiguously in favour of omitting the parameter altogether for 'none' " and despite the RfC title, additionally found that "There's no obvious reason why this would not apply to historical or fictional characters, institutions etc.", and that nonreligions listed in the religion entry should be removed when found "in any article".

The second RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:

• 31 December 2015 RfC: RfC: Religion in infoboxes.

The result of that RfC was that the "in all Wikipedia articles, without exception, nonreligions should not be listed in the Religion= parameter of the infobox.".

Note: I am informing everyone who commented on the above RfCs, whether they supported or opposed the final consensus. --Guy Macon (talk) 03:11, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Scan request

Hi there! I've been undertaking a large-scale project to add awards and award nominations to VG articles, particularly from Computer Gaming World and PC Gamer. Through my own magazine collection and scans I've found online, I've managed to access PC Gamer's first and second annual awards, but everything after that is spotty. I noticed on WP:VG/RL that you have access to PC Gamer's March 1999 and March 2000 issues, which contain the fifth and sixth annual awards. I apologize for the huge request, but would it be at all possible to scan those? These awards are important historical data that's unfortunately hard to access, and being able to add them to the appropriate articles would be huge. Either way, thanks for your time!

Hi there! Don't let that deter you from contributing to Wikipedia. If there is a situation where two people are fighting over content in an article, and neither backs down, then a Wikipedia admin can get involved and sort it out. And yes, potentially the admin can lock an article but usually it doesn't even come to that. If an IP editor (yes, usually they are anonymous IPs addresses that cause the trouble!) is ever giving you problems, there are channels where you can report them and summon an admin. --SubSeven (talk) 05:36, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've since run through those scans (alongside many others from PC Gamer, CGW, etc.) and have been trying to locate more awards. Specifically, I noticed that you're listed as owning PC Gamer's March 2002 issue, with the magazine's 8th ceremony—one I haven't been able to access anywhere else.

Hello once again! Sorry to show up a third time for a GOTY scan, but, while I was adding the very last of the 2000 PC Gamer Awards you scanned for me to the relevant articles, I suddenly realized that one page was missing. It's partway visible in this image—appears to contain a Best Expansion Pack award, among other things. (It might also have the Best Adventure Game award on it, which I'd previously assumed that PC Gamer didn't give out in 1999, since it wasn't among the scans I had.)

Magazine scan request

Hi again! Sorry to bother you, but I noticed that you're listed as owning the rare April 1995 issue of PC Gamer, and it contains some information I haven't been able to find anywhere else. I've been working to improve Atomic Games coverage this year, and managed to get Close Combat (video game) to good status some months back—but there's an important early preview of the game (under the name "Beyond Squad Leader") in this 1995 issue. I don't feel that the article can be fully comprehensive without taking this source into account. From what I've found in the two issues preceding yours, there should also be coverage in the Eyewitness section of Atomic's ongoing legal and publisher problems, although I can't 100% guarantee it. If you have time, I'd really appreciate the chance to access the preview and any Atomic-related news coverage that might be in the issue. Thank you! JimmyBlackwing (talk) 02:18, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for these! Looks like they're going to be even more useful than I expected. I can't wait to start expanding the article. Really appreciate it! JimmyBlackwing (talk) 04:13, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Very welcome! Yeah I was impressed with the preview, lots of really good information from the developers. --SubSeven (talk) 05:57, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Editing wars? Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

Can you please explain to me specifically what you're referring to. I stopped editing out that Meryl Streep nonsense, even though it's completely unnecessary and distracting. If you look at the edits I only edited it out twice in order to make the page more accurate and relevant. I'm also not the only one who edited it out. At least two other people did as well but one person keeps putting it in even though it's distracting and unnecessary. They are also belligerent and threatening in their edit explanations. If this is what you're referring to, I encourage you to talk to them and to also delete it but I stopped because if they are so adamant about including information that isn't relevant to the film or the cast member, then it makes it annoying to try and correct it. However, since you messaged me I hope you are able to do something about it. Thank you. Samurai Kung fu Cowboy (talk) 19:42, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This members name is Trillfendi. Again, thank you. Samurai Kung fu Cowboy (talk) 19:45, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Adam West and Burt Ward stuff is accurate. It's even on the official Once Upon a Time in Hollywood soundtrack. You can verify this through various sites including the Quentin Tarantino Archives. There are also multiple articles online about it, including Gizmodo. In the case of that information I was not removing another editor's information but rather adding valuable, relevant, and official information in order to improve the page. Are you saying that I can be blocked from editing for adding verified official information that others have deleted? Maybe I'm wrong, but that makes absolutely no sense to me. Samurai Kung fu Cowboy (talk) 20:42, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't a matter of thinking I'm right. That information is objectively true. They are talking at the end of the film. Also, am I able to add sources through a mobile device? Because I haven't been able to find or get any clear information on how to do that. I understand that I'm new, but regardless I have been able to add information on that page that is true and on multiple other sites before it's been publicly released and often in spite of other editor's mistakes. Many of whom have been editing for much longer on here than I have. So, I understand I'm new but my edits check out. So, I don't feel that's any reason for me to be disrespected or treated like I'm inferior. i mean no disrespect to you, and I hope you don't take what I'm saying as such but in lue of the information I've been able to provide for that page, I don't feel there's any reason to be condescending to me. Thank you. Samurai Kung fu Cowboy (talk) 21:34, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"High Life" Reception

I agree that, as per the MoS, RT user scores should not be included. However, merely referring to the marked difference between critical review scores and audience scores seems distinct from this and also relevant for films where it has occurred (see "The Last Jedi" for instance). Don't you think an 83% vs 42% difference warrants some kind of comment for the sake of a balanced reception section that will adequately inform readers? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blam Suppelbut (talk • contribs) 17:32, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

MoS states that the user score is unreliable, so, no, I don't think introducing unreliable information into the article does anything to inform readers. --SubSeven (talk) 18:18, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You appear to have completely missed my point. Never mind. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.56.211.70 (talk) 22:55, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't miss anything. There is no value in pointing out a difference between Number A and Number B, when one of those numbers is not a real number (can't be verified). --SubSeven (talk) 00:54, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"I didn't miss anything" Right, whatever. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.56.208.196 (talk) 02:58, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Homeland collaboration???

Hi, I'm a big fan of your work and Homeland and i was wondering if you would like to help me to update and make new artistic for some of the characters? — RealFakeKimT 12:44, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I'm not sure what you mean by artistic. Could you be more specific what you'd like to do. --SubSeven (talk) 17:29, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I mean articles — RealFakeKimT 08:54, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. So right now Carrie and Brody have articles. Probably there aren't that many other characters that are significant enough to have their own article. I would say Saul, yes. Probably Quinn too, and that's about it. But yeah I'd be willing to work with you on those. --SubSeven (talk) 00:53, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

SubSeven Great! I was also thinking maybe Dar Adal? I'll make articles in the draft space for Saul and Quinn but wait for your opinion on Dar Adal. — RealFakeKimT 09:30, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

NHL 94

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to NHL 94, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Wikipedia's verifiability policy requires inline citations for any material challenged or likely to be challenged, and for all quotations, anywhere in article space. The material you removed is taken directly from an issue of Sega Power. The names of the various shots and techniques can also be found in the manual and in the gameplay itself. This material was previously in the article for many years without anyone ever removing it or otherwise challenging it until someone basically rewrote the whole page. I should be able to find the issue and add a citation as that is best practice. I’m guessing you don’t know much about hockey but this section will be perfectly clear to readers somewhat familiar with hockey or NHL 94. Regardless, your lack of sense is irrelevant in determining if material should be included in a wiki article. And it’s ... odd, not to mention contrary to wiki policy, that you decided to haphazardly remove material from a hockey video game from 1994 when you don’t even understand or have a sense of what you’re removing. Please take care to follow policy closer in the future and do not remove material from an article if you don’t have any sense about it. Thank you DonkeyPunchResin (talk) 15:23, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is a general encyclopedia, it is not written only for people who have hockey knowledge or knowledge of NHL '94, it should make sense to EVERYBODY. The article was probably re-written for good reason. it should not contain a laundry list of game strategies with made-up names, even if you can source it in a magazine, see item #3 at this link - WP:GAMEGUIDE. --SubSeven (talk) 15:30, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So I just said this is taken from a magazine. Not a game guide. I’m sure there are other sources from the era as well as this game was a massive hit. In Canada it was about as big as a blockbuster movie and I’d have to guess it was huge in US cities with hockey teams. NHL 94 is frequently mentioned in lists of greatest games ever and received quite a bit of media attention around that time. It still does here and there.

It’s laughable to say any user should be able to go to any part of any page at any time and understand it. If I don’t know anything about football and start reading the middle of the page it’s not gonna make any sense if I don’t even know the terminology and other basics. For example try this page out Acoustic metamaterial. If you’re senseless about a topic sometimes you need to acquire some fundamental sense and before being able to understand much or review the topic as a whole. The article rewrite took milk that had been churned into a fine butter and then a user came along and decided to churn it until it was a fragmented bland mess. Missing a lot of info and citations that made the page quite informative and interesting. Now it’s as informative and interesting as articles for games that were 1/100th as popular and received little to no media attention. Well done indeed. DonkeyPunchResin (talk) 16:19, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly you did not read the link (it would take all of 30 seconds to read item #3 at the link I gave). It's not about where the info came from, it's that Wikipedia is not a game guide, thus this information doesn't belong. --SubSeven (talk) 16:32, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
