The eXile

Hi Dsol... I've re-added the factual inaccuracies section of this article, but changed the wording to ensure there is no original research. If there is still an issue, please let me know. Regards, wisefroggy —Preceding undated comment added 21:13, 14 October 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Hi DSol, Im amazed at the amount of information that is covered on this paper. its nothing but propaganda about how good they were. I look at other wiki newspaper briefings, I mean really. The entire page should be edited, and leave the basics. way too much information which is irrelevant. Shokorus (talk) 17:09, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't agree with that assessment. It's true the article reads somewhat strangely as there has been a lot of edit warring there in the past. But I don't see any reason to remove info. Basically the article describes what the paper was and repeats what was in the major secondary sources, like Vanity fair and rolling stone. dsol (talk) 09:32, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

3D optical data storage

You changed a part of this article to note that Denk was also involved in the invention of the 2-photon microscope. I'll agree that as it was written, Denk (and also Strickler) was overlooked. But on the other hand, this article is about 3D optical data storage, not about the 2-photon microscope. Webb was mentioned because of his research in the latter. I didn't like your text because it made it look like Denk was more important to the article subject than Webb. I hope you'll think my compromise version is acceptable. If not, then go ahead and try something else. • TheBendster (talk) 21 February 2009, 12:21 (UTC)

I find it strange that 2P microscopy is mentioned several times on the page but Denk is not mentioned at all, but I'm willing to defer to your version anyway. dsol (talk) 15:06, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Playboy.com deleted blog posting on Santelli conspiracy theory

Greetings Dsol, I just reread my response to you on the [Rick Santelli] page and realized I felt compelled to point out that the now deleted playboy.com blog posting was used to perform a hatchet job/personal smear on the character of Rick Santelli over and above its now rather questionable veracity regarding the spontaneity of Santelli's rant. No matter what one feels about Mr Santelli's politics or knowledge of economic theory, the sort of highly personal attack that attempts to impugn someone's character by vaguely associating them with particular corporations or political groups in the absence of any real evidence should simply not be tolerated in Wikipedia. Respectfully, -- Rydra Wong (talk) 14:30, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think we are mostly on the same page....I have responded at the Rick Santelli talk page. dsol (talk) 16:14, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:Beast cover86.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Beast cover86.gif. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 17:00, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
