Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of NATOA, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.natoa.org.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

Speedy deletion nomination of NATOA

[edit]

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 NATOA requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Eeekster (talk) 01:38, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

C-SPAN and GATV

[edit]

Hi, JordoCo. I noticed that you have twice added a statement to the C-SPAN article to the effect that the network is government-access television. However, as User:Lgrove56 correctly pointed out upon first reverting your edit, C-SPAN is not GATV. Please be mindful of Wikipedia's bold-revert-discuss cycle, and if you have questions on this point, please bring them to the C-SPAN Talk page. Cheers, WWB Too (talk) 12:07, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding the phrase "cable TV" after public-access television. First, the phrase "public access television" includes television so cable TV is unnecessary. Second, the article on public-access television says that is carried on cable. Finally, the abbreviation TV is inappropriate for an encyclopedia article. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 03:28, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalization

[edit]

When updating high school and college radio station articles, please add the appropriate links as high school radio and college radio (without the leading capital letter) to preserve proper capitalization in the middle of sentences. Thanks! - Dravecky (talk) 02:13, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

June 2011

[edit]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Distance education. Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you.

Hi, it would help a lot if you used the edit summaries, honest. Sitush (talk) 23:18, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. --John (talk) 19:52, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings. It looks like you made many changes to the article after I rewrote the television section yesterday. Your most recent change is here. You did not provide an edit summary, inserted several typos and ended up reverting most of my changes. I believe that my wording explained the duties of a television TD more clearly and grouped the terminology differences in a separate paragraph to minimize confusion to the reader. I also removed some details that would not be easily understood by the layman. Please justify your changes. --Thomprod (talk) 16:21, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to revert to my last edit as soon as possible, or at least clean up the typos you added. Please reply here. --Thomprod (talk) 18:22, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have taken the liberty of copying your e-mailed reply below to keep the conversation in one place: --Thomprod (talk) 19:08, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanx so much for your comments, they are very helpful! I'd reply on Wikipedia but not all that sure how to do it. The major issue I think with Wikipedia is the lack of linking within Wikis. For instance the Wiki tech dir vs. The Wiki Tv dir. Yes, a tv dir in the states is a tech dir but there was no linking between the two Wikis. This was the thinking behind linking the Wikis. Does it make sense? By no means did I ever intend to step on anyones toes. Again, thx for reaching out.
Actually, the (TV) Director and the Technical Director are two distinct positions in most situations. Directors may be called on to act as TDs and switch their own shows in small market stations or for cable and non-broadcast productions. I have reverted your changes to the article to my last version because I think my wording more clearly defines the duties of the television TD. Please let me know if you disagree. --Thomprod (talk) 19:08, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
For help in replying to posts on your UserTalk Page, please see Help:Using talk pages#Indentation and Wikipedia:Indentation. --Thomprod (talk) 19:12, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like you are still confused about the difference between the Television director and the Technical director or TD on a crew. When you made this edit, you added the abbreviation "(TD)" after "television director". I have reverted that part of your edit. --Thomprod (talk) 16:18, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summary

[edit]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to List of genres. Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Toa Nidhiki05 01:43, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Excessive wikilinking

[edit]

While it may applied too harshly by some, I still respectfully recommend that you review the guideline on linking. Many of the links you've added in the various Law & Order related articles are clear examples of overlinking, that is the insertion of redundant links or links to common terms that readers can be expected to know. oknazevad (talk) 01:02, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Since you decided to redirect Cartridge (electronics) to a disambiguation page, "becasue ROM is one of many cartridge types," I hope you will also help to fix the many other Wikipedia articles that contain links to "Cartridge (electronics)", all of which now need to be reviewed and fixed. Thank you. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 11:49, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rolling back edits

[edit]

I'm rolling back a lot of your edits, because they contain so many errors, awkwardnesses, disfluencies, overlinking, and such. Please slow down and think more carefully, and read more before deciding to redefine things like CCD. Dicklyon (talk) 00:04, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The point of the changes is to include the primary topics that the original wiki editors failed to include of didn't wikifi. I hope this makes sense.

I understand the point, but nevertheless you are making a great many poor quality edits across many articles based on a frequently poor understanding of both the artciles' subjects and WP policies. Quantity is no substitute for quality, so please slow down and think more carefully.--Harumphy (talk) 00:25, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I shall be more considerate. Thanx! JordoCo (talk) 00:27, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Most of the edits had nothing to do with sources, primary or otherwise. And some were sticking things like Farnsworth patents into places much too general to get into the history of who invented what, which is very complicated and can't be addressed by primary sources. Dicklyon (talk) 00:29, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Your point makes sense. Do you think that there might be a different way that what I'm trying to convey can be incorporated into the Wikis, like == See also == JordoCo (talk) 00:33, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, maybe. But slow down; you don't have to do it all today. You'll learn as you go. I just reverted 2 of your last 3 edits again. Dicklyon (talk) 00:35, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Using Television lines as an example of a perfectly good wiki gone missing. Doing a search for television line returns 405-line television system and nothing in that particular wiki link back to Television lines which then should link to Lines of resolution which doesn't link back to Television. The reference loop is open, the follow through is just not there.
JordoCo (talk) 00:44, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good. But edits like this, where you just add a link to an already-linked item, suggest moving too fast. Dicklyon (talk) 00:58, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I've just had to fix another of your lousy edits, this time in Sound-in-Syncs. Other WP editors have got better things to do than clearing up your messes after you, so please slow down and be much more careful. If you create a link at least check it works when you've done it.--Harumphy (talk) 23:31, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

August 2011

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Radio frequency, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. It is not necessary to use a "radio antenna" to pick up radio, or a "television antenna" to pick up TV. For the purpose of this article, radio encompasses both, and "antenna" is specific enough. So I reverted. Dicklyon (talk) 03:37, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted your changes at Encoder now, too. I don't see what you're trying to accomplish, and you're mangling the text something awful. Dicklyon (talk) 18:01, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I do appreciate your interest. Let me explain, the sentence "An audio encoder may be capable of capturing, compressing and converting audio" and links audio codec. The sentence "A video encoder may be capable of capturing, compressing and converting audio/video" links back to Encoder, the page it is already on. Does it make sense to link video to video codec instead of itself?
Yes, but your first edit and the next one don't seem justified. The second one introduces a non-sentence into the mix; patching it with a semicolon doesn't make the "here is" style any more acceptable. Dicklyon (talk) 18:33, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And I have reverted most of your changes at Codec, since you haven't slowed down enough to check to work, to see that your link changes work sensibly, etc. It's not fair for you to expect others to clean up your mess. Dicklyon (talk) 18:06, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries

[edit]

Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you.

In the future, I will revert your edits without looking at them if they don't include summaries that give some clue to your intent. They are often hard to distinguish from vandalism. Dicklyon (talk) 18:11, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Administrators' noticeboard

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

Edit summaries

[edit]

You're still not using edit summaries. When I get time, I'll revert more of your questionable edits, since you don't give us any clue what you're trying to do. This is not OK. Dicklyon (talk) 04:13, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]


I can just keep reverting, but it would be better if you'd use edit summaries, and slow down enough to think about how to describe your edits as improvements. Dicklyon (talk) 23:57, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The edit summary box was used for the edits I did today. Is it advisable to enter edit summaries for the for adding the wiki linking brackets too?? JordoCo (talk) 00:04, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes; please do. You can say "just adding wikilinks" or something like that. Dicklyon (talk) 01:05, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Great! - will do. JordoCo (talk) 01:07, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also please try to understand the scope of articles before expanding them in irrelevant directions like you did at Magnetic storage, which is about data storage; I don't think Bing Crosby is very relevant there. Dicklyon (talk) 01:09, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed'ed - Bing references Magnetic tape, Magnetic tape refs Bing, Magnetic refs Magnetic storage and finally Magnetic storage refs Magnetic tape. Bing has nothing to do with Magnetic storage JordoCo (talk) 01:17, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Audio signal processing

[edit]

You recently added some wikilinks to Audio signal processing. You marked these edits as minor. The edits changed the focus and meaning of the section. Although the changes are subtle, it is not appropriate to mark these as minor edits. Further, it appears to me that the focus and meaning changes were unintentional - the presumed intention being to add the wikilinks. Be aware that adding links is not a mechanical exercise. Please don't make these sorts of changes unless you understand the articles you're both linking from and to. Not everything needs a link. Please read WP:OVERLINK. --Kvng (talk) 13:28, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for expressing your concern. JordoCo (talk) 10:20, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

[edit]

Hello. It seems you're still making a lot of dubious edits while having been requested to slow down several times. I've blocked you for 24 hours so we can look what to do about this. Cheers, —Ruud 00:27, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've opened a thread at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User:JordoCo. As you are blocked you can't currently respond there, but you can do so on this page in the mean time. Cheers —Ruud 00:36, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reverts

[edit]

I've reverted most of your edits of today. The usual problems. And adding categories is not adding wikilinks; if you feel a need to add a bunch of categories, you might want to mention it on a talk page first. And I see you got blocked already; time to slow down and think. Dicklyon (talk) 00:32, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding Category:SoHo to articles on streets such as Houston Street and Sixth Avenue which run through many neighborhoods. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:24, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Also, SoHo does not go all the way to the river, it stops either before or at Sixth Avenue. The neighborhood west of SoHo is variously called "Hudson Square" or the "South Village". Read our article SoHo. Many of the places you marked as being in SoHo are not. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:30, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I see you were blocked yesterday for similiar behavior. Please stop and think about what you're doing, because if you continue to edit disruptively against the advice of other editors, you're probably going to get blocked again, and the length of the blocks will increase each time.. If you are truly interested in helping to build this encyclopedia, you need to edit collegially, with respect for the advice and opinions of other editors. Please show us all that you can do this. There is no need to rush, there is no deadline for Wikipedia to be finished. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:34, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
On the other hand, thank you for your addition of citations to several article, which is very helpful. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:47, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summary again

[edit]

"added wiki link" is not an appropriate all-purpose edit summary. If you change a word, or add a see-also item, or add a category, that's more than just putting double brackets around something. If you continue to use this vacuous summary, I will go back to reverting your edits where you give no clue to what you're doing. Dicklyon (talk) 03:50, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

From WP:Edit summaries:

Accurate summaries help other contributors decide whether it is worthwhile for them to review an edit, and to understand the change should they choose to review it. When a major edit (e.g. deletion of a substantial amount of text) doesn't have an edit summary, there are fewer reasons to assume good faith and busy editors may be more inclined to revert the change without checking it in detail.

From my observation you have used "added wikilink" to mean "added category", "added see also" and "copy edited". Please use an accurate specific summary. Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:25, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Will be more specific. (JordoCo) 14:00, 14 August 2011

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

Not a single source. Large number of POV statements. This is clearly an advertisement for her work, disguised as a Wiki entry.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.
