Full-frame comments

I took out a paragraph about the full-frame sensor being designed to contain a smaller sensor in the middle. I thought this was a strange way to look at it, and led logically to a quality conclusion to that is not really supportable. If you have a source about this stuff, use that and cite it.

Nomination of GEAR Video for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article GEAR Video is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/GEAR Video until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Codename Lisa (talk) 10:40, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

MulticoreWare

I noticed that you created the aforementioned article and wrote in the edit summary that it was a draft. If you intend to write a draft, you can do so in your user space or draft space so that it doesn't immediately go into mainspace, i.e. "live". If you are unsure whether the article is ready and want feedback to improve it before moving it to mainspace, consider going through the AFC procedure.

Disambiguation link notification for July 29

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited MulticoreWare, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages ARM and Neural Networks. 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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:19, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of GEAR PRO Linux

The article GEAR PRO Linux has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreferenced and I could find none in WP:RSes

While all constructive 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Capella Systems

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 Capella Systems 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 credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Cut-paste move

Cut-and-paste is not the right way to move an article. Please see Help:How to move a page (which says "Do not move or rename a page by copying/pasting its content"). Mulligatawny (talk) 19:49, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

Shokin

The prosecutor was not fired to protect Burisma. He wasn't doing his job of investigating Burisma's founder, so firing Shokin would put Hunter Biden in greater jeopardy. Please stop inserting false material and join in the talk page discussion.

Also, be aware that the article is under discretionary sanctions and WP:1RR. You may be blocked if you continue to edit war.

• There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Guy (help! - typo?) 19:35, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia editing

I took a look at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Tvaughan1 and was pleasantly surprised you have remained relatively calm and civil there.
I just wanted to point some things to your attention and will leave you alone after that. It is my distinct opinion you have not been given the necessary guidance to succeed on Wikipedia, so this is my attempt to rectify that.
First of all, while Wikipedia is not censored, it does tend to follow reliable sources in order to ensure articles do not give WP:UNDUE weight to certain ideas and positions to keep articles neutral. This can oftentimes be very frustrating for many editors who want to cover a topic that is less covered by the media than they would prefer for whatever the reason. There are people with opinions I am sure vary wildly from your own who have decried this tendency on Wikipedia (from Socialists to Libertarians and beyond). Still, you have to play the hand you are dealt here, I'm afraid. Moving forward, I recommend taking a look at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources and use the pre-existing discussions for well known sources to make a determination if something should be mentioned in (and in what way for) an article.
I hope that helps! –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 07:28, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
