I noticed you just moved lots of articles, you can't do something like that without consulting others first, plus I think the names you moved them to are not the usual format for Wikipedia, so I will have to move them back. Martin 10:51, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if I was wrong... I did this because some of names starts like AMD Am286 and some like Am486. I think they shouldn't be different. Since old page redirects to the new one, I think this is good step. The only move I did wrong was Athlon... Since I did here cut-paste thing... ManiacK 11:00, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dont worry, it didt take long to fix. you are right that they shouldnt be different though, the standard format for titles like this is not to have the company name though. Martin 12:08, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Revert

Hey. When you did that revert, did you just cut and paste, or is there a revert tool? Thanks! JamieJones ^talk 12:34, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just did copy and paste, but I think there is tool for this... - ManiacK 14:01, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Monobook

Hi, I wasn't trying to vandalize Wikipedia or create problems... I had just been mistaken in how to create the popups tool on my site. If you look at my contributions, you will see I have a long history of positive and helpful edits on the site, and if I made a mistake, I'm sorry, but I feel that the warning and chiding typically given to a newbie was unnecessary. I don't mean to get too angry, but I thought it was a little quick to assume that I was attempting vandalism when it was just a case of incorrect code. Anthony 18:07, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Msi logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Msi logo.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 11:08, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Code Blocks logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Code Blocks logo.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

A Request for Help

Hi there Maniack :), I noticed your username on Translators Available Lithuanian to English. I was wondering if you could help with updating Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi on the Lithuanian Wikipedia? Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi on the English Wikipedia has been majorly revamped- particularly, its being treated as a BLP now, since no one has been able to find evidence of his death. I'm sorry to say I know little Lithuanian, so I'd really appreciate your help in this :), although I understand if you don't have the time. Thanks in advance!

Can you help verify translations of articles from lt

Hello ManiacK,

Would you be able to help evaluate the accuracy of translations of Wikipedia articles from lt to English Wikipedia?

File:Language icon.svg

This would involve evaluating a translated article on the English Wikipedia by comparing it to the original lt article, and marking it "Pass" or "Fail" based on whether the translation faithfully represents the original. Here's the reason for this request:

There are a number of articles on English Wikipedia that were created as machine translations from different languages including lt, using the Content Translation tool, sometimes by users with no knowledge of the source language. The config problem that allowed this to happen has since been fixed, but this has left us with a backlog of articles whose accuracy of translation is suspect or unknown, including some articles translated from lt. In many cases, other editors have come forward later to copyedit and fix any English grammar or style issues, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the translation is accurate, as factual errors from the original translation may remain. To put it another way: Good English is not the same as good translation.

If you can help out, that would be great. Here's a sample of the articles that need checking:

All you have to do, is compare the English article to the lt article, and assess them "Pass" or "Fail" (the {{Pass}} and {{Fail}} templates may be useful here). (Naturally, if you feel like fixing an inaccurate translation and then assessing it, that's even better, but it isn't required.) Also please note that we are assessing accuracy not completeness, so if the English article is much shorter that is okay, as long as whatever has been translated so far is factually accurate.

If you can help, please {{ping}} me here to let me know. You can add your pass/fails above, right next to each link, or you may indicate your results below. Thanks! Elinruby (talk) 04:30, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
