peer review

Can you please review my article HSV Senator Signature so I can get some valuable feedback from you.

Welcome!

Hello, Jquarry, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like working here and want to continue. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at Naming Conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and if you can't find your answer there, check the Village pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and the Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal — and if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my New-Users' Talk Page.

Additional tips:

Here are some extra tips to help you get around Wikipedia:

• If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.
• If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills, try the Sandbox.
• Click on the Edit button on a page, and look at how other editors did what they did.
• You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Always sign comments on Talk pages, never sign Articles.
• You might want to add yourself to the New User Log
• If your first language isn't English, try Wikipedia:Contributing to articles outside your native language

Happy editing!

Leb article

Please discuss why you added a npov tag to Leb article. FYI, whenever you add a NPOV tag, you should put your reasons down on the talk page so other wikipedians can change the article back to being neutral. Go to Talk:Leb. MPS 22:22, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

I had to comment about your message you left on the talk page of User:Coolcaesar. I am not sure that you seem to understand the point here. I did not file the ArbCom case against the user, but I should have before his aggression climaxed at the level it did. I hope to inform you that he and I were equally involved in the dispute, he just had a personal friend who was an administrator, so he would escape punishment where I would recieve punishment for breaking the same rules. And, let us not forget that my ArbCom case is like his in that we are both guilty of conducting similar misfortunes. I do not think that it is fair of you to claim that I am revolting against him, for I was never going to file a case against him. I think that the people I have offended are limited to that one page, where as this users actions are scattered on over 100 pages in Wikipedia. It is not fair to think I act like a child, when Coolcaesar was the user who acted like a child. Instead of using mediation, or trying not to offend users like me, he constantly filed ArbCom cases against people that did not see things his way. And, I must remind you that it was his actions that landed him there. Not my actions, not your actions, not the filer's actions, but the uncontrolled actions and comments that were said and done by this user. It is clear that long before I even became involved with him that this behavior was present. For goodness sakes, look at the number of instances he committed his wrongdoings and compare it to mine. 193 pieces of evidence versus 29. A big gap I would say. So I just wanted to inform you that your perception is incorrect, and I hope you realize that his attitude is destructive, and needs to stop right now. You will realize how much more productive people are when you dont have someone personally attacking others during the editing process. It does work well. Feel free to comment --user:Ericsaindon2 28 July 2006; 05:59 (UTC)

I do understand for I am often percieved as being this evil person by Will Beback and Coolcaesar. I just wanted to point it out before you fed his ego, because once he starts going, he feels limitless. I apologize to you as well for intruding upon the conversation between you two. I frequent his talk page often for I do not want any talking going on behind my back between the two frivolous editors.

Another episode of "Bash America"

"Well I agree with Arcturus. It's all America, America, America. Supermarkets are everywhere not just in the United States. And what about Canada? State and local laws? What about States AND Provincial laws? Decimal10 05:46, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

• Sigh* yet another episode of "Bash America"... If the article contributors are mostly Americans, what do you expect them to put in? Conversely, would you consider them qualified to write about countries they know little about? Don't get me wrong, I too am tired of hearing of nothing but America. So I have a small trick I use to deal with it. I click the "edit" button, and add in stuff to the article pertinant to my own country. Now that was hard"

The above is quoted from the Talk page of the supermarket article. Obviously you were replying to my "Bash America episode". I just want to make it clear that I do not Bash America. I never have and never will. Im am an American Citizen (I doubt you saw that coming). Yes, im an American citizen who lives in Canada as a permenant resident.

The thing is, it's not THAT hard to put information into articles about other countries. Other Americans need to realise (which im sure many do) that Wikipedia is very American biased due to that fact that a majority of the user's are from the United States. It is very simple to go to Google and put in "Canada, supermarket" or "Italy, supermarket". It's the same for all articles, but im using the supermarket article as an example (since this is were this started). Sure, I don't expect some one from the United States to know much about other countries supermarket history, but it is simple to put it into google (or whatever search engine they prefer) and find the major supermarket retailers in that specific country. Even adding something like " A major supermarket in the country of _________ is __________________" helps to making the article have more of a world wide view. Fortunatly the supermarket page's global view issue has been resolved.

I know it was a while ago you replied to my comment on the supermarket talk page, but I did want to get back to you about this.

Yep, that paragraph DOES go there. Funny how it takes new editors to see these things. Anyway, thanks. SBHarris 00:30, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Userboxes

Thanks for the thumbs! Its geeky, but I think that stuff's kinda cool, and I didn't really give a fuddle about fuddlemark's comments anyhow. Unfortunately since I was last here the userbox has changed. When I created it, it had the seahorse logo, intead of the ambiguous 'N'. I'd like to think I'll fix that some time, but a quick reality check will tell me that's unlikely anytime soon. So feel free to restore it to its former glory, if you have the time and inclination.

By the way, loved your programming languages/cars thing. In my former life as a computer engineer I was a big fan of Unix Shell Scripting & wholeheartedly agree with your description. Cheers! Mattopaedia 13:53, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Commodore VIC-20

Hi. If you have a published reference for the release year, it woudl be very useful to list that in the article Commodore VIC-20. This will hold off any pointless edit wars. It seemed odd to me that a US company would release product in Japan before the home market! --Wtshymanski (talk) 16:44, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Looks like the bogus release date was put in by someone using a New Jersey IP on dec. 30/07. This page [1]] says a June 1980 date for the announcement but teh stie says it didn't hit the stores in the US until Feb. 81, and claims Oct. 80 for Japan. --Wtshymanski (talk) 22:43, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

It might be easier asking you here, than waiting for you to wander over to the articles on the PET and the VIC-20, but does anybody have information on the differences between the PET's version of BASIC, and the VIC-20's version of BASIC? I'm not talking about performance differences, but actual byte-by-byte differences. Did any of the BASIC subroutines get moved around between the time they first appeared on the PET, and the time they finally appeared on the VIC-20? As for copy protection on the PET in the guise of "security", which bytes in ROM are responsible for that? I am naturally guessing that there are specific lines in the BASIC ROM on the PET that looked for attempts to peek & poke into the ROM areas around $E000 and up.

The main articles in Wikipedia on Commodore BASIC appear designed for people who don't know what a byte is, or what BASIC is, and so on. The articles on Commodore BASIC could be improved by digging a little deeper. Dexter Nextnumber (talk) 05:59, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 10

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 1933 United Airlines Boeing 247 mid-air explosion, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pilot (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.
