Thanks for the boneless update

Your updated list is better than what I had, showing more than just post count.

However, could you adjust it to be as narrow as possible, with a smaller font in the heading? Wikimedia is biased against image width so the extra whitespace between columns makes the overall image smaller and harder to read when auto-resized by the Wikimedia software.

Although the data could technically be rendered as a textual wikitable in the article, I tend to lean in favor of the image format for this, because it is hard to vandalize an image but trivially easy to vandalize a table, and to do subtle vandalism changes that most editors would miss. Also, due to the dynamic nature of usenet, the image serves as a fixed snapshot or record, of statistical data that is constantly in flux.

What did you think about the deletion notice you received?

Hi FlippyFlink,

In November you received a message about either "Nomination for deletion" or "Proposed deletion" of an article you created. I'd like to ask you a few quick questions:

Was the message helpful? Were the instructions clear and easy to follow?
If not, how do you think the message could be improved?
What do you think about the deletion process in general? Do you understand how to contest a deletion?

You can feel free to answer on my talk page or send me your response by email (mpinchukwikimedia.org). (I won't quote you or link your answers to your username if you don't feel comfortable with that.) Your feedback is incredibly useful for improving the content of deletion notifications, so please take a minute to think about and answer these questions. Thank you!

7zip + MultiPar

Hi, I noticed that you added info to the Parchive article about a pending feature request to add recovery data to 7zip. This is already possible using MultiPar and a supplementary batch script. See: Parchive#cite_note-15. Could you update your 7zip feature request at sourceforge to mention that? It might make it easier for the 7zip devs to add the feature if they can cooperate with the author of MultiPar and use his code within 7zip. Badon (talk) 19:05, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Active Directory Services for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Active Directory Services is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Active Directory Services until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 05:51, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for April 15

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Crypto-shredding, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hashing. 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.

Proposed deletion of PIVX

The article PIVX has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Article was deleted 2 months ago for failing to satisfy WP:GNG (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PIVX). Recreated article still doesn't cite sufficiently good sources to establish notability.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- intgr [talk] 15:18, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of PIVX

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on PIVX, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. (See section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) If a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 17:45, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for October 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited EPrivacy Regulation (European Union), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Proposal (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Ways to improve EPrivacy Regulation (European Union)

Hi, I'm Cwmhiraeth. FlippyFlink, thanks for creating EPrivacy Regulation (European Union)!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. This article would be better placed in WikiSource rather than Wikipedia.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Cardano page

Since it was literally just deleted in the AFD, I've moved it to Draft:Cardano (platform) so someone doesn't speedy-delete it as a recreation of a just-deleted page. This way you can develop it to a stage where it has enough good refs to survive :-) - David Gerard (talk) 21:21, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for moving it David Gerard. When you moved the page I was still editing, so I saved the page again on the public portion of Wikipedia. It is deleted now. I/we will try to improve the draft article, before publishing it again. --FlippyFlink (talk) 11:44, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is a blockchain David Gerard. Here are some explorers: https://cardanoexplorer.com/ , https://adatracker.com/ , https://adascan.net/ Currently the ledger is distributed between these three entities: The Cardano Foundation, IOHK and Emurgo. Therefore currently it is not decentrialized. They are planning to decentrialize in 2019/2020. --FlippyFlink (talk) 07:08, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

General sanctions alert

Please read this notification carefully, it contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

A community decision has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the blockchain and cryptocurrencies. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.

General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, FlippyFlink. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Draft:Cardano (platform), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. GSS (talk|c|em) 02:54, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your addition to Draft:Cardano (platform) has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words.

Reminder

As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:FlippyFlink, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=FlippyFlink|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. GSS (talk|c|em) 03:44, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello GSS. Sorry, I did not realize that I had to respond. I am not paid or compensated to contribute to this article. I also was not asked to start this article. Information security and crypto are one of my favorite topics. So I created several related pages in the English Wikipedia and Dutch Wikipedia. In this case I wanted to start the former (deleted) article, but someone did it already. So I contributed to that (deleted) page. Before the page was deleted I already started an improvement in my sandbox, but never came around to it to actually do and publish a complete improvement. Now that the page was deleted, I have the chance to create/start a page to my liking. I asked the reddit comunity to contribute also and help with finding some quality content which meet Wikipedia standards. Even the Wikipedia admin David Gerard who moved 'my' newly created article to draft gave me/us some pointers on how to create a qualifying Wikipedia article. That was and is much apreaciated. After I think the page is good enough, my plan is to follow the Articles for creation steps. I hope this response is sufficient. --FlippyFlink (talk) 08:29, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @GSS: Thnx again for your reminder. I also tried to write the article in a more neutral way. If you have any further feedback on the article it would be greatly appreciated. Please do at this Cardano talk page so everybody can see. Otherwise, thank you for your time --FlippyFlink (talk) 12:59, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cardano (cryptocurrency platform) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Cardano (cryptocurrency platform), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Improved version of your digital signature picture

I found this picture today, which you apparently made out of this one according to the description. One problem: it has a few issues. One, it's PNG instead of SVG. And two, the font between things you wrote and the original picture don't match. Also, neither does a bit of the color [your picture's "sign" and "verify" boxes are a more vibrant yellow than the "encrypt" and "decrypt" boxes in the original]. Well, I downloaded the SVG original, modified it a bit in Inkscape [with help from Notepad++ for some stubborn text boxes] and made this slightly improved version of your picture. [I would've uploaded it to Tinypic, but they don't support SVG.] I would've uploaded it to Wikimedia Commons by now, but since you're apparently the owner of the picture, I'd like your consent before doing anything. Is it OK for me to upload it, or do you want to keep the original image?? [Just so you know, I haven't uploaded it to Commons yet.] Josedanielsteller (talk) 00:25, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Decentralized Identifiers

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Decentralized Identifiers requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://ec.europa.eu/futurium/en/system/files/ged/eidas_supported_ssi_may_2019_0.pdf. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 00:41, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Cardano (cryptocurrency platform)

Hello, FlippyFlink. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Cardano".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Proposed deletion of Certificate-less authenticated encryption

The article Certificate-less authenticated encryption has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

article seems irrelevant and misleading, and to be mainly of commercial interest; see Talk page.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

World Mobile moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, World Mobile, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. ... discospinster _talk 20:01, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: World Mobile (June 28)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Nyanardsan were:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:World Mobile and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:World Mobile, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
