AWS DeepLens

extended article content

Introduction

AWS DeepLens allows developers of all skill levels to get started with deep learning in less than 10 minutes by providing sample projects with practical, hands-on examples which can start running with a single click. AWS DeepLens was designed with deep learning in mind. With over 100 GFLOPS of compute power on the device, it can process deep learning predictions on HD video for real time.

Integrated with AWS

It's integrates with Amazon recognition for advanced image analysis, Amazon SageMaker for training models, and with Amazon Polly to create speech-enabled projects. The device also connects securely to AWS IoT, Amazon SQS, Amazon SNS, Amazon S3, Amazon DynamoDB, and more.

Broad framework support

AWS developers can run any deep learning framework, including TensorFlow and Caffe. AWS DeepLens comes pre-installed with a high performance, efficient, optimized inference engine for deep learning using Apache MXNet.

Fully programmable

AWS DeepLens is easy to customise and is fully programmable using AWS Lambda. The deep learning models in DeepLens even run as part of an AWS Lambda function, providing a familiar programming environment to experiment with.

Fixing a page with conflict of interest

I'm interested in a page that has had some conflict of interest editing. Having read the page it isn't too bad, but includes some original research such as what the subject has in her home which is a bit trivial and non-encyclopedic. However, if I do some work on the page, how do I 'solve' the COI issue, or will it always be the case that the page is at risk of deletion if some material edited by the subject remains in the version I edit. Which it will. Are there general guidelines here? Particularly concerning when the COI banner should be removed.Ross-c (talk) 09:05, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Are you talking about Tina Matthews? - X201 (talk) 09:38, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If the article no longer has any issues directly related to the COI editing, it should be removed. You can read more at {{COI}}. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 11:01, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's also a useful move to ask the opinion of the person who tagged the article too. - X201 (talk) 12:04, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Personal articles

Is it possible for me to add my own articles in this site.. ?? Nd if it is, how do I go on about it?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by DaglasMacharia (talk • contribs) 11:35, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@DaglasMacharia: Hello, you are most welcome to contribute articles on topics that pass the Wikipedia notability guidelines. However, you should not contribute items about yourself or any topic to which you have a close connection as this becomes a conflict of interest. Some useful links have been left at your talk page; if after reading those, you have further questions, please feel free to ask. Although, I would recommend that you gain experience in editing existing pages before attempting to write a new article. Cheers. Eagleash (talk) 13:09, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @DaglasMacharia: I'd suggest you start with reading Wikipedia:Introduction, Wikipedia:Tutorial and Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Adventure.

However, please keep in mind there's no such thing as personal articles at Wikipedia — neither 'your own' nor 'about you'.

You should not write about yourself. You should also avoid writing about your relatives or companions, or your or their businesses, etc. Please see Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not about YOU for guidelines on writing autobiography and such, and WP:PROMO and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest for more general guidelines concerning writing about topics, in which you're involved.
You should also not consider any article you write here your own. Please see Wikipedia:Ownership of content for a relevant policy.

I hope you'll enjoy expanding Wikipedia. Good luck! --CiaPan (talk) 13:35, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Motto parameter in Template:Infobox university

Can someone please remove the motto parameter in Template:Infobox university? It isn't encyclopedic information (no one cares), usually unverifiable, and often vandalized. Edward Mordake (talk) 13:29, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That kind of request needs to be raised on the template talk page. - X201 (talk) 15:36, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I have posted there. Edward Mordake (talk) 16:48, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Brand-new Communication

I noticed that this article need to have the capital C into lower C. Hence brand-new communication because the singer's previous releases in a Japanese records company, Pony Canyon are all lower cases. Can a moderator change the title so that the upper "C" in "Communication" becomes an lower "c"? And somebody needs to do a review of this article as well. Thank you --Komitsuki (talk) 15:23, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Komitsuki: I have performed the page move you requested. No "moderator" (administrator?) was necessary; registered accounts with more than 10 edits and 4 days of "age" can do so, including yours (I see that you attempted but the page stayed in place, I do not know why).

However, I am not sure the final title is the best one. It contains a translated title, and I could not find a reliable source for the translated name so Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(use_English)#No_established_usage_in_English-language_sources may apply (that the Japanese-script part of the original title is a transliteration of English does not change the problem that Wikipedia should not "invent" the English title without a source). If you can find good sourcing I encourage you to link it in the article. Moreover, the first character should probably be lowercase (see WP:DISPLAYTITLE for how to do that).

Embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS)

Hello everyone! I have a short question. I recently created the article Embolic stroke of undetermined source. As is usual in medicine, the abbreviation is better known among physicians than the full name. The abbreviation is ESUS. An article with full name Esus already exists at Wikipedia (Celtic god). How can I achieve that the medical article is also found when ESUS is entered? I certainly do not want the very interesting article on the Celtic god to be disadvantaged. Unfortunately, the medical article will actually not found at all right now. Almost all doctors and patients will search for "ESUS" and not for the entire name. Would you have any help for me here? That would be great. Please excuse my bad English, I will improve it and work on it. :-) Best regards and a nice evening.

--Gunnar Römer (talk) 17:03, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Gunnar Römer: your solution of using {{redirect}} on Esus and creating the disambiguation page is a good one. I've removed the redirect hatnote from Embolic stroke of undetermined source as ESUS doesn't actually redirect there. The page doesn't need a hatnote as it is extremely unlikely that someone looking for Esus (the god) would end up there. Other than that, all good! Richard ⁰⁶¹² 17:27, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What Richard said. But actually, you've used incorrect titles at these places. To cut things short, I've corrected most of your mistakes; and in summary, if someone types ESUS, they'll reach your article now (thank you, you're welcome). ~~I_0urclc5~~ 17:30, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wonderfull! Thanks at all! --Gunnar Römer (talk) 08:38, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Help with printing CSS parameters

Hello there, I'm trying to edit my 'Special:MyPage/skin.css' page with a certain setting. I have already managed to decrease the printed text-size by entering the following parameters on my skin.css page:

* {
  font-family: Arial;
  font-size: 82%;
}

I would like however to know how to decrease images and thumb size similarly to what i did with text. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -~ Elias Z. (talkallam) 18:11, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Elie plus: "Thumbnail size" at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering determines the size of thumbs with no specified size. I don't know whether it's possible with CSS to reduce all images with a percent but your browser may have a feature to reduce everything on a page. Windows browsers usually have the shortcuts Ctrl+- for smaller, Ctrl++ for larger, and Ctrl+0 for normal size. PrimeHunter (talk) 22:17, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you PrimeHunter <3 -~ Elias Z. (talkallam) 08:41, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Citing sources on Talk pages

I would like to suggest an edit to a controversial page that has been secured. Because the change I'm suggested requires citations, I think I should include the citations in my request. Should I use the usual wiki markup language for citations on the Talk page, as if I were editing the article itself?Rasquiella (talk) 18:22, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes - there's also {{reflist-talk}}. LittlePuppers (talk) 19:30, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Edit while matter under RfC discussion

There is an RfC discussion at: Talk:Nextdoor#RfC_Consensus_Attempt. I have a COI here. Several editors have weighed in with differing viewpoints but edging toward consensus. However, one editor just made a major change to the article dif about the content under discussion. I could address here the specifics of why this language is a NPOV violation, including because it doesn't include the response of the company that such incidents are very infrequent, as well as the significant media coverage on the remediation efforts. But this is all already under discussion in the RFC, so there shouldn't be changes to the article about this subject for now, as per WP: RfC. I would suggest the appropriate remedy is to reverse the change for now, rather than opening another discussion about this new language, and to ask the editor to refrain from changes regarding the subject under discussion until the RfC is resolved. Thanks for your consideration.BC1278 (talk) 19:45, 23 May 2018 (UTC)BC1278. ~~:Talk:Nextdoor#Proposal:_topic_ban_for_user_BC1278 The consensus is against you. Heck, you are about to get banned from that page. Edward Mordake (talk) 19:46, 23 May 2018 (UTC)~~[reply]

The guideline you are looking for is in the second bullet at Wikipedia:Requests for comment#Suggestions for responding. That's pretty obscure and I don't know if it can be considered "policy" given the name of the section. This is the help desk for "using and editing", and I think discussion of policy is beyond our remit, so please take this back to the RfC. -Arch dude (talk) 20:24, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Page moves

How to see all my page moves? I know there is a way. Thanks. Legacypac (talk) 21:09, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Legacypac: - use Special:Log, select "Move log" as specific log type and enter your username as performer. GermanJoe (talk) 22:03, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You can also click "logs" at top of Special:Contributions/Legacypac. PrimeHunter (talk) 22:09, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Replacing Image

Hi,

I would like to replace the San_Domenico_School_Logo.png image on wikipedia with that of the organization's new logo (which is currently on the San Domenico School Wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Domenico_School

Can you please assist with getting this file update to the new logo? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Schmaks (talk • contribs) 23:20, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Schmaks: I have uploaded a new version of File:San Domenico School Logo.png and used it in San Domenico School. The old version may temporarily be shown in some places. User:San Domenico School uploaded commons:File:SD-Logo.jpg to Wikimedia Commons with a claim that it is their own work released with a free license. I suspect that is false, or the license is unintended. The image may be deleted from Wikimedia Commons.

PrimeHunter (talk) 00:13, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@PrimeHunter: It looks like we've got them mixed up. commons:File:SD-Logo.jpg is actually the new logo. Can you please fix it and make sure that commons:File:SD-Logo.jpg is the only logo for San Domenico School and that File:San Domenico School Logo.png is the one marked for deletion? Thanks! Schmaks (talk) 15:22, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Schmaks: commons:File:SD-Logo.jpg and my version of File:San Domenico School Logo.png is the same image except the file type. It is the logo with bold upper case "FOUNDED" displayed at https://www.sandomenico.org/. The old version at File:San Domenico School Logo.png#filehistory has lowercase "Founded" without bold. If you see that version at top of the file page or in the article then it's temporary. The real difference between commons:File:SD-Logo.jpg and File:San Domenico School Logo.png is the license. The former was uploaded with a claim that the uploader is the copyright holder and has released it with a free license which allows anyone to use it for any purpose if they just give attribution. I doubt the school wants that. Organizations usually want to protect their logos. My version File:San Domenico School Logo.png was uploaded with a non-free license saying the logo is protected by copyright. Do you work for the school with legal responsibility over the logo and are you saying that the school will permit any use of the logo, e.g. for the purpose of harming the reputation of the school with a defaced version of the logo? PrimeHunter (talk) 20:25, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@PrimeHunter: It appears that cache was causing the old logo to appear. You are correct. The logo should indeed be protected by copyright. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Schmaks (talk • contribs) 20:39, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
