Talk Page Guidelines

Hi, ReadOnlyAccount. I saw you've repeatedly edited your post on Talk:List of numeral systems. Per WP:TALK#REPLIED you should not edit your own comment after it's been replied to. Also, consider the second bullet of WP:TOPPOST, Avoid excessive use of color and other font gimmicks. I think the highlighting you did could be justified (if I knew what your intent was), but it's something to keep in mind in the future. In general, WP:TALK lists all the relevant guidelines.

What are you trying to do with your edits at that talk page? I know Wikipedia's guidelines are both legion and opaque at first, so perhaps if you explain what your goal is, I can help point you in the direction to better accomplish it. EducatedRedneck (talk) 21:08, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The above relates to this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ReadOnlyAccount (talk • contribs)

ReadOnlyAccount, I strongly encourage you to read the above linked guidelines. As a courtesy, I thought I should try to inform you of how talk pages are handled here, rather than at the article, but here you failed to sign a comment, and you then continued to modify your comment after it'd been replied to. EducatedRedneck (talk) 22:27, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of RAM card

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

Could not find any reliable sources anywhere on the internet, it is probably not notable enough. Please look at WP:NRV for more information. I also think RAM cards are interchangeable from RAM drives, but please correct me if I am wrong.

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.

Deletion discussion about RAM card

Hello ReadOnlyAccount, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, RAM card, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/RAM card.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Significa liberdade}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Multifunction card moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Multifunction card. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 03:47, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if I should feel bad because it's on me that the sources were kind of hidden (because of reasons), or if you should feel bad because you've really not looked closely before pulling the trigger. That said, I'm really not going to argue any more of this today. I think I've said my piece in relevant places, maybe in several wrong places like Larry Laffer, but I contend that smart people who care have all the information they need to make wise decisions. –ReadOnlyAccount (talk) 04:34, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, ReadOnlyAccount-- Multifunction card has been moved to draftspace, where you can continue to work on it. This can help save it from being placed for deletion until it is ready for the main space. Many articles exist on Wikipedia about technology that existed prior to the internet as people certainly learned new information before the "WWW" (see IBM 7030 Stretch, for example). If a topic is notable according to Wikipedia's guidelines, it should be discussed in books, magazines, journal articles, etc. You can use those sources to prove your subjects are indeed notable. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 16:49, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. When replying to someone, it's helpful to ping them so they know you have responded. You can ping by writing @[[User:Significa liberdade|Significa liberdade]] (as an example). Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 16:51, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Multi-I/O card

Hello ReadOnlyAccount,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Multi-I/O card for deletion, because it's a redirect from an article title to a namespace that's not for articles.

If you don't want Multi-I/O card to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Citing in Wikipedia

Hello, I again apologize for improperly using the PROD function, thank you for pointing it out, like it says on my User Page 'please tell me if I am doing something wrong'! However, Wikipedia needs citations for its articles, according to WP:OR, so if an article doesn't have reliable references, it will probably be deleted. Thank you for your understanding.

Apologies accepted. Thank you. –ReadOnlyAccount (talk) 04:35, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Based on you aversion to information loss expressed in your essay, Wikipedia:Redirects to nowhere, you may be interested in helping identify controversial or inappropriate deletion proposals. ~Kvng (talk) 16:53, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for not having paid proper and timely attention to the link in the headline. My editing is a bit erratic, maybe mood-driven, I feel. It's not that I don't want to look, but no promises. Thanks for the hint either way. —ReadOnlyAccount (talk) 20:42, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your kindness. Fingers crossed I won't un-earn this by being more abrasive again soon – as I'm conscious I've arguably sometimes been. I think the kitten is working as positive reinforcement though. So Pavlovian. Much conditioning. Very behaviourism. Wow. —ReadOnlyAccount (talk) 20:54, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:General American English

I'm perplexed by your reverts. Leaving a paragraph without a signature following it is just not part of how talk pages are used. "Attributing unsigned comments" and "Signature cleanup" are among the things permitted by the talk page guidelines to edit others' comments to do. If it weren't for "PS:", your small text would be indistinguishable from an unsigned comment. And this is what happens when someone replies to your comment using the reply tool. What do you want out of leaving the text unattributed so badly you spend dozens of words in summaries? What are you trying to accomplish here? Nardog (talk) 15:38, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
