Hi, regarding the DVD acronym issue, I've made some edits explaining why the website of the DVD Forum uses "versatile" - as also noted on the talk page, Toshiba is apparently in charge of the website, and they are in favor of the "versatile" acronym; that's why the DVD Forum site uses it. The actual DVD spec does not define any acronym (or so I am told by the author of the DVD Demystified FAQ - I don't have a spare $5000 to find out myself). If you have an authoritative source to the contrary, please let me know! -- Wapcaplet 22:16, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Got your message concerning differencies between English and French/German languages. However, I am still wondering how you differentiate between French as in "originating from France" and french as in "French language". The latter spelling I used to emphasize the fact that these expressions do NOT originate from France but from French language (this difference is very important to Romands).
Furthermore I do not understand why you stick on "Fondue Neuchateloise" for the general name of cheese fondues. This is simply not the case. Fondue Neuchateloise is just the name of the fondue originating from this area (Neuchâtel). Just as it is the case for la Fondue Savoyarde, la Fondue Valaisanne, or the Glarner Fondue. So please, change the title back to "Cheese fondue".

Hi Tooki, thanks for your help with editing mobile phone. I've attempted to put back the new intro but take your comments into account. As mentioned in the talk page, I'd like to make a series of edits, to sort out this page more. Please could you copy edit bad material so that it fits with your wishes or, if you dispair of spelling mistakes and don't have time, put comments into the talk page before reverting material. I can then fix this for you. Some of the reverted material is inaccurate ("cell phone" doesn't mean the same as "mobile phone" since cell phone doesn't include "satellite phone" but "mobile phone" does) so it has to be changed anyway.

I take your point on the numerical sequence but I was trying to clarify that the 120V systems are generally 60 Hz and the 220V systems are generally 50Hz. I have tried another method. Tiles 08:20, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Hi, the point is not everyone knows where the Chesapeake Bay is. Perhaps when one is too close to the subject this isn't apparent, but putting some geographic info only helps. Perhaps it's simply the phrasing that is the problem. If it was Gulf of Mexico, Bay of Bengal or Sea of Japan, that would be one thing, but Chesapeake Bay is not self-descriptive or widely recognized enough to assume the reader has a good idea of its geographic location.

On capitalization, you are half correct. Wikipedia is not bound by Chicago or the OED. In non-technical writing, it is correct to use miniscules unless the name contains a proper noun. However, there is a considerable amount of technical work where species names are capitalized because they are used as proper nouns. Much debate has been given on Wikipedia as to which we will use, and we are as split as the scientific community. Blue Crab was using a mixture of upper and lower cases, so I cleaned it up towards my preference. (See various debates on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tree of Life, its offspring projects, and Wikipedia:Naming conventions for more details.) - UtherSRG 21:24, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Mutilations are body modifications (and vice versa). Mutilation of mammarian glands and genitals belongs in the category of body-modification. If you cannot justify the removal of the category by October, I shall recategorize it.

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
OR
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

The proper name of UMBC is determined by the Maryland General Assembly and is University of Maryland Baltimore County. For more information on this topic, please see this entry: Talk:University_of_Maryland_Baltimore_County#Comma.2C_or_no_comma.3F. I first read the UMBC style guide years ago and know exactly what they say, but they lack the legal authority to actually change the name of the school. Additionally, the Maryland State Archives lists that the official name of UMBC is University of Maryland Baltimore County. Therefore, the entry belongs as University of Maryland Baltimore County. -Howardjp 20:58, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
I hear what you are saying, but it is incorrect. No business in the State of Maryland can change its name without approval of the state (and I suspect this is true in all states). UMBC is no exception to this rule. As for the possibility of a "simplistic and shortsighted legislative document," you may be right. However, if this were the case, it doesn't change the fact only the legislature can set the name and the fact it was a mistake doesn't give the university authority to fix it. Further, it wasn't a mistake. Significant portions of the 1997 legislation amending the education article only change is to specifically add a comma to UMCP and UMB's names. This has to do with the fact that from 1920 to 1970, UMCP and UMB were one university of two campuses and the comma is designed to recognize that historical tie. UMBC never was a part of the University of Maryland. -Howardjp 22:13, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
You're absolutely right. But a DBA still requires approval from the State. I just tried to check the Department of Assessments and Taxations, and their database is currently down. I'll try again in a few hours. Regardless, it is still nonsensical to have the main page at a false name when both University of Maryland, Baltimore County and UMBC redirect to the correct entry. -Howardjp 22:32, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
Everyone else has read what I previously posted and figured out I was right. -Howardjp 22:41, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
Actually, I am not the only one to have fixed this since yesterday, even. You should learn to use the history function. What makes Wikipedia look shoddy is following the advise of those who failed to do their research. As an aside, a university that doesn't use its given name looks shoddy, too. -Howardjp 22:59, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
Hi there, Tooki I see that you've contributed to the Apple computer article. I've recently edited the iMac article and put it up for peer review; but beyond owning an iMac, and loving it, I have little in-depth knowledge on the topic, historically or technically. I wonder whether you have time to read it and add your critical comments at the peer review page? Tony 08:32, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article New World ROM, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}}
to the top of New World ROM.
Sorry - I'm a Mac fan (and an iPhone owner) but I don't see that this article is of any value to the world at large any more. Maybe worth merging some of it into a more general article andy (talk) 22:30, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, some feedback as requested;
The draft is unlikely to meet the criteria of WP:PRODUCT (or WP:GNG) while it solely depends on references from the corporate website. As an example I tried to find an independent reliable source for the development of the tool (or LiteRat) at Heinrich Heine University but specifically could find no match at http://hhu.de. Independent sources should be more than product reviews and form the basis of the argument for notability based on significant impact. The only news source matches I get are to the Citavi Corp. of Atlanta (which may no longer exist). Suitable credible sources might be newspaper or magazine articles, books or authoritative websites.
In its current state the article would be a deletion candidate due to notability or potentially speedy deletion as a product advertorial due to the lack of independent sources. Fæ (talk) 09:57, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
I have taken a look at some of the sources. The couple of new citations I checked appear independent if not particularly deep about Citavi. I think there is no issue with creating the article now and you may want to keep chipping away finding more sources independent of the organization. Did you want me to move the article or are you happy doing that yourself? Fæ (talk) 09:20, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for your recent contribution to Mike, der Taschengeldexperte. I am not a native speaker of German and thus translated "Taschengeld" literally: "Taschen" + "Geld" = "pocket" + "money". I had no idea it meant "allowance". JIP | Talk 18:57, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Sega arcade system boards, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Anti-aliasing (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.
