Question from Ritijsaini (14:42, 19 November 2024)

Hi, wanted to start contributing to wikipedia. Need your guidance --Ritijsaini (talk) 14:42, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

@Ritijsaini, welcome! How can I help? ~Kvng (talk) 14:45, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Errors in Ethernet_over_twisted_pair

I've noticed 2 errors in the big table of Ethernet variants - for two rather common variants the given information on bandwidth/symbol rate/spectral efficiency is incorrect: 100Base-T1 and 100BAse-TX. See my comment on the article here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ethernet_over_twisted_pair

This has been like that for a very long time, and I'm a bit hesitant to just change it now after 10 years - I'm not sure if I'm missing something about the process, but I am sure about the technical properties and there are sources in text books that have it correct (you have to pay for them though; many public sources seem to copy Wikipedia, so on the open internet the incorrect values are found more frequently than the correct ones).

CED VHS revert

Hi. I noticed that you reverted my edit on the CED/VHS part. I merely edited the text so it'd look more professional and encyclopedic.

What mistake did I made to warrant a revert and if you're okay with, suggest me an alternative if my edit didn't work? HarlambiDaabrev (talk) 20:26, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

I assume we're talking about this. The original statement was slightly better than VHS. Your revision made it say slightly better than, or comparable to the VHS. The cited source says The subjective evaluation of people familiar with all these formats is that CED is better than VHS. Your revised statment takes us further from what the source says. What were you attempting to accomplish with this edit? You left no edit summary that could help me. ~Kvng (talk) 22:42, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

Fixing the grammar to make it more encyclopedic. If that didn't work, what's the alternative? HarlambiDaabrev (talk) 12:33, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

@HarlambiDaabrev, what was wrong with the grammar? "Encyclopedic" means different things to different editors. What does it mean to you? ~Kvng (talk) 13:51, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

To me it sounds more professional. Correct me if I'm wrong. HarlambiDaabrev (talk) 14:11, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

@HarlambiDaabrev, I'm not getting that. It sounds more ambiguous. I guess if you're in marketing that could translate to more professional. ~Kvng (talk) 14:20, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

If that's more ambiguous, then what's the alternative? HarlambiDaabrev (talk) 14:37, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Leaving it as it is is the obvious alternative. Adding the whose picture quality is qualifier is arguably an improvement but I think this is already evident from context. ~Kvng (talk) 21:50, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from Jgibbons333 (05:08, 1 December 2024)

Is there a way to report something going on that’s unethical, like people holding a pay hostage? It looks like that’s what’s happening. --Jgibbons333 (talk) 05:08, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

@Jgibbons333, I'm not sure what holding a pay hostage is but the ultimate place to deal with bad behavior is WP:ANI. Please read the suggestions listed there before posting because it is not a fun place to be if you can figure out a better way through the dispute. ~Kvng (talk) 14:00, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

Question from EditAboutIt (23:16, 2 December 2024)

Hello, I am attempting to write an article for submission called "virtual organizing" and per Wiki instructions I need to disclose my possible COI as I work in the industry as a certified professional. How do I do this? Thank you --EditAboutIt (talk) 23:16, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

@EditAboutIt, have a look at WP:DISCLOSE ~Kvng (talk) 03:21, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, for your help.

I am not a paid contributor but I do work in the industry.

I saw this link you sent me before but, due to my inexperience with Wikipedia, do not understand how to:

1. add "{{connected contributor}}" to the page or my edit which I already edited: "professional organizing" or how to
2. add the same required notation of COI in an article I want to add for "virtual organizing" for submission to educate the public about this new technique in professional organizing, or
3. where to add this first submission and new article of "virtual organizing" in my user account for peer review.

Kind Regards, @EditAboutIt EditAboutIt (talk) 04:06, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
