SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians.  It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work.  Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have '''feedback''' on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on [[User_talk:SuggestBot|SuggestBot's talk page]].  Thanks from [[User:ForteTuba|ForteTuba]], SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on [[User:SuggestBot/Requests|the SuggestBot request page]].  If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- [[User:SuggestBot|SuggestBot]] 02:04, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

==Block==
Hello.  I have blocked editing from this account for Disruption on [[HTC Wizard]].  Basically we have resumed edit warring after the protection has expired.  Please use the talk page for content disputes rather than [[WP:3RR|reverting each others changes]].  To contest this block use the <nowiki>{{unblock|your reason here}}</nowiki>  template on this page.  Regards, [[User:Navou|Navou]] <sup> [[User talk:Navou|banter]] </sup> 04:04, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

{{tl:unblock|Despite several attempts at discussion in the talk page, the other user refuses to participate.  Ironically, the anonymous user claims that any revert of his edits should be discussed, however he never participates.  The only alternative I have is to revert the edit because this has already been discussed several times and there is a consensus among the other wikipedians that this shouldn't be there.  I really want to discuss this, and have done so, but I can't help that the other user refuses to participate. }}

== Regarding Third Opinions ==

Hi. [[Wikipedia:Third opinion]] is probably not the proper avenue for revolving your dispute with 122.160.82.88 regarding [[HTC Wizard]], since more than two editors seem to be involved already and since the primary problem is that one of the involved editors is refusing to discuss the situation. As the page indicates, third opinion "requires good faith and civility on both sides of the dispute", and unfortunately you don't seem to have that. :/ I have left a message for the user at [[User talk:122.160.82.88]] advising of our policies on [[Wikipedia:consensus]] and [[Wikipedia:Disruptive editing|tendentious editing]] and requesting that he or she discuss these changes on the talk page before implementing them. If he persists without an effort to establish consensus, you may wish to follow the recommended steps at [[Wikipedia:Disruptive editing|disruptive editing]] by considering [[Wikipedia:Wikiquette alerts]] or [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User conduct]]. (The requisite steps to follow prior to pursuing that are listed [[Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment#Request_comment_on_users|here]].) Good luck with resolving this. --[[User:Moonriddengirl|Moonriddengirl]] 15:50, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

==Orphaned non-free media (Image:UH Fight Song.ogg)==
[[Image:Nuvola apps important blue.svg|25px]] Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:UH Fight Song.ogg]]'''. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a [[WP:FU|claim of fair use]]. However, it is currently [[Wikipedia:Orphan|orphaned]], meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia.

However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see [[Wikipedia:Non-free content#Policy|our policy for non-free media]]).

Hey, I could participate :) [[User:WhisperToMe|WhisperToMe]] 06:32, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

== RE: WikiProject University of Houston ==

Sure, I would be interested in participating.  I think the most important thing is to define the scope of this project.  Do we want a project for the [[University of Houston]] or the [[University of Houston System]].  If we decide on just University of Houston, then the project should clearly define that and guidelines should be set to state that other articles related to {{nowrap|UH–Clear Lake}}, {{nowrap|UH–Downtown}}, or {{nowrap|UH–Victoria}} are not part of the scope.  I prefer a project just for the University of Houston, but also see that this will be problematic as other editors will argue that three other UH&nbsp;System institutions should be part of the project as well since they bear "University of Houston" in their name.  

I guess before moving forward, we need to decide what to call the project in accordance with the scope: 
:[[Wikipedia:WikiProject University of Houston|WikiProject University of Houston]] or {{nowrap|[[Wikipedia:WikiProject University of Houston System|WikiProject University of Houston System]]}}.

I think you should post on the talk pages of Houston and Texas so other editors will be aware of this proposed project.

I read your userpage and noticed that you went to Clements HS!  I went and graduated from there as well.

&mdash;[[User:RJN|RJN]] 18:06, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
:I'd prefer a University of Houston only project also, but I certainly see your point! However, I'd honestly think it'd be a better idea to deal with those cases of editors trying to include the rest of the UH System in the scope on an individual basis.  My reasoning for this stems from the fact that I don't believe we'll get a lot of these editors often because the other UH System school articles are seldom edited.  So, with your willingness to join a UH project, I will get started on creating one.  However, I will heed your advice and post on the talk pages for UH, Houston, and Texas.  This will allow for more exposure of this project to those who would be interested but otherwise wouldn't know.

:Clements was surely a great high school to graduate from.  I'm proud to have my diploma from there.  
:&mdash;[[User:Brianreading|Brianreading]] 19:26, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

::Sounds great!  My only concern is that someone will start tagging all UH System articles with the WikiProject University of Houston template.  I wouldn't want to get into an edit war over this by removing them and having to explain that other three UH System institutions are not branch/extension campuses of UH.  

::When did you graduated from CHS?  I graduated in 2002 from CHS and 12/2006 from UH. &mdash;[[User:RJN|RJN]] 21:26, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

:::I guess somewhere on the project page, we'll have to include a little tidbit about the scope for the project.  That way, we can always refer back to something that existed before the editor started making changes.  It's part of good WikiProject etiquette after all to have a well-defined scope.

:::Anyway, yeah.  I gradated from Clements in 2003, so it looks like you were a year ahead of me.  I'm planning on graduating from UH around late '08 or mid '09.  &mdash;[[User:Brianreading|Brianreading]] 21:42, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi Brian,
Thanks for the invitation to join the UH project. At this time I'm not sure I can put a lot of energy into this effort, but I will definitly watch the project page and may jump in to a few articles I spot needing work. Thank you for organizing this and putting time into the UH articles. 
I used to watch the UH pages closely but was turned off a bit when someone came through and nominated every image for deletion. I'll try to get interested again.

:Someone running across a Wikipedia article doesn't know things like that.

If these alumni are in fact from UTSA, it should be simple to find that written in an independent source somewhere.

== Houston Cougars Football ==

Excellent work! You requested an updated assessment, and I'm happy to give it. The highest rating I can offer without a formal review process is a B-class assessment, but I'd strongly suggest adding more in-line citations and submitting this for GA review. It's very good in the prose department, as best as I can tell from a quick look. If you can add those in-line citations, there's absolutely no reason this article couldn't reach good status. Great work! [[User:JKBrooks85|JKBrooks85]] ([[User talk:JKBrooks85|talk]]) 11:09, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
:Thanks for your kind words.  Adding in-line citations has been something I've wanted to do more of.

[[User:Brianreading|Brianreading]] ([[User talk:Brianreading#top|talk]]) 16:01, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
::With older items, off-line sources are usually your best bet. If there's a book or two detailing the history of the Cougars, that'd be the best way to go. Just throw the bibliographic citation at the bottom, then use a "Miller, p. 37"-type cite in-line. I've also found that academic databases have been a big help as well, particularly ones like NewsBank; those generally cover from the mid-1980s to the present day, though I'd suggest using clickable online cites for more current items. Good luck with it. [[User:JKBrooks85|JKBrooks85]] ([[User talk:JKBrooks85|talk]]) 20:09, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Brian, you may want to consider redirecting [[2008-09 Houston Cougars men's basketball team]] to [[2008–09 Houston Cougars men's basketball team]].  For example, if you take a look at [[Template:NBA seasons]] or "Category:National Basketball Association season by team templates," you will see that each NBA season (and individual team seasons) all now use the long dash opposed to a short dash.  I realize that most of the college teams are using the short dash for 2008-09, but there are also a handful using the long dash (e.g. [[2008–09 IUPUI Jaguars men's basketball team]], [[2008–09 Iowa Hawkeyes men's basketball team]], etc.).

Hey the other day you told be about using the logos from the appstore for iphone games.

:There is no hard and fast way to get the image.  It is possible to retrieve a 512x512px '.png' icon from a game '.ipa' file by renaming it a '.zip' file, and then unzipping it.  However, the icon that is retrieved this way does not have the rounded corners, nor the gloss given to icons on the App Store.  The reason why is that this is all done on the fly by both the iPhone OS and the App Store/iTunes.

:It is possible to manually add these effects to the icon, but just doing the smoothing on the corners is easiest.  Basically, what I've done is, in iTunes snap a screenshot of the icon, by clicking the album art in the left side bar, and bringing up a larger view.  Right-click the large image, and make sure it says "Actual Size" before taking the screenshot.  Next, I import this image with a photo editor like Photoshop into a blank document with a transparent background, and crop the image to just the icon.  I then use the smooth selection tool to get the make the rounded corners.  You need a radius of 89px.

:If you can find a game icon with transparent background out there on the web to use, it would be even easier.  However, this is rare to find.

:It was once possible to browse the App Store from third-party websites that had set up the ability to see that content, but I don't know if they're around anymore, and what their names are.  Why so adamant about not installing iTunes? It doesn't contain any spyware or add-ons, nor does it interfere with Windows Media Player or whatever media player you use.  Apple's software, in my opinion is some of the cleanest out there for Windows.

== David Dewhurst ==
Hi, I'm wondering why you reverted my edit to the [[David Dewhurst]]article, it said he was in office "2003-present". I believe that we are both veteran Wikipedians, who know that an an elected official currently in office should not have anything written next to the "term end" space in the info box. --[[Special:Contributions/71.235.32.22|71.235.32.22]] ([[User talk:71.235.32.22|talk]]) 20:45, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
:Hello there!  I'm not aware of any such format described in the template documentation.  Can you refer me to this? The combination of a blank [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]] (especially from an anonymous user) and absent documentation on the matter made me think your edit was vandalism.  That's why it was reverted.  On a side note, upon examining your address, it appears that you've only made a total of 75 edits to Wikipedia all within a 6 month time span.  Do you have a dynamic IP address or a registered account with Wikipedia? Not that it really matters, but it just appeared odd. [[User:Brianreading|Brian Reading]] ([[User talk:Brianreading#top|talk]]) 21:10, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
::If you were to look at other elected official articles, you will see what I mean. I previously had an account, [[user:bobsmith319]]. I recently registered to a new account, [[user:matt319]] because I purposely changed my password without looking out of a fit of frustration with another user.
:::Sorry, but other articles aren't a definitive standard for how to format an article. It's the agreed upon documentation that is available which dictates that.  If Wikipedia were to go by the former standard, then most articles would follow a terrible format as most of Wikipedia is stubs, etc.  Basically, I don't follow your logic.

== Human Rights Initiative of North Texas, Inc. ==

Brianreading,

Thanks for you message.  I have actually done a study on this organization for school and wanted to post more information on it for others.  I think it's an interesting organization, especially since it's based in Texas and concerns Human Rights.  I don't have an relations to the organization other than the research I did on it for school.  Is that going to be a problem?  I am working on posts to document the organization further and I have several news articles that I am going to reference as well.  Please let me know if you think I am doing this backwards.  This is my first time to post on Wikipedia.

:I'm glad you are open to help here on Wikipedia.  After all, this is a community project.  As someone who has been here a little while, I recommend that one of the first things you do with your article is cite [[WP:Reliable sources|reliable sources]] to establish [[WP:Notability|notability]].  These are two of the most important concepts here, and most administrators will look for this when they decide an article should be deleted or not.  Check out [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|this section of the style guide]] to determine how to properly cite your sources in the article.  As far as you having no connection to the organization, that is actually a very good thing here, as Wikipedia takes [[Wikipedia:Conflict of interest|conflict of interest]] concerns seriously.

== Anthony Ausgang ==

Brianreading,

Thank you for your comment "Delete. Huge COI, fails WP:BIO. Brian Reading (talk) 22:25, 13 July 2009 (UTC" in regards to the entry for Anthony Ausgang. In defense of "conflict of interest" I would just like to say that there was an entry for Anthony Ausgang for several years and it was removed at the beginning of this month for lack of references and copyright violations. That first entry was posted by an unknown agent, and not an employee Anthony Ausgang's or by the artist himself. The new entry has fixed these errors with the help of Anthony Ausgang. There is no hype involved in this entry and Wikipedia is not being used for self promotion. As you can see from the partial bibliography there is public interest in this artist and this is not a vanity entry. Thank you. [[User:Ausganger|Ausganger]] ([[User talk:Ausganger|talk]]) 07:11, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

== Windows Mobile 6.5 Article ==

I was Reading you comments on the rolback history of WinMo6.5, while i agree with your rollback to the 6.1 home screen i wanted to clear some things up. Winmo 6.5 has reached the RTM phase, however there are two phases labeled as RTM in the windows world. Release To Manufacturers and release to Market. Right Now as it stands WinMo is only in the release to manufactures stage, it is expected to be released in September. I felt i should notify you of this image's status since i am the creator of the screenshot, and it seams as though you are the controlling user the windows mobile article. and no that screenshot dose not contain any major customizations what you see in that image is what will come out in September. Thank you for your time --[[User:Koman90|Koman90]] ([[User talk:Koman90|talk]]) 01:16, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
:Thanks for taking the time to leave me this message.  I do not control the article any more than any other users, but I've also been discussing the changes in the talk page.  My main reasoning for supporting the 6.1 screenshot is that the 6.5 screenshot should contain no customizations.  This is to keep the clarity of the topic as much as possible.

==Copyright==
I suggest you go to law school before you start to dispense copyright legal advice.  Since I don't know what the source material you believe is copyrighted, I can't determine whether the source was copyrighted.  Next, you must determine who is the copyright holder and the relationship with the person posting to wikipedia.  Assuming the source is copyrighted and its author is not posting to wikipedia, you must next perform an analysis to determine whether the use is a "fair use" allowed by the copyright laws.  Since you claim that two different literary expressions are both copyrighted, I suspect that you are mistakenly assuming that copyright protects underlying facts &mdash; instead of just the literary expression of those facts or ideas.  I suggest that the next time you find a passage that you feel is a copyright violation, you rephrase it.  I also suggest that you review [[WP:OWN]] [[User:Racepacket|Racepacket]] ([[User talk:Racepacket|talk]]) 16:33, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
:Sorry, but ripping word for word text from a news article for that purpose is a copyright violation whether you like it or not.  It wasn't even very good information, as it even simply repeated some of the same facts.  I needn't attend law school to understand how copyright policies apply here at Wikipedia, and I recommend that you remain [[WP:CIVIL|civil]].  I don't care to own articles, and if I did, I wouldn't be contributing to Wikipedia.  I support the goal of the project, hence why I care about enforcing its policies, including those regarding copyrights.  [[User:Brianreading|Brian Reading]] ([[User talk:Brianreading#top|talk]]) 07:14, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
::Facts are not copyrighted, literary expression is copyrighted.  Therefore of the two versions, one would not be a copyright infringement, by definition. [[User:Racepacket|Racepacket]] ([[User talk:Racepacket|talk]]) 19:59, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
:::I'll discontinue this conversation now.  The text has been reworded enough for a common ground.  In the future I recommend that you work with the community, or if you have some sort of insight, add it to the [[WP:Copyrights]] page. [[User:Brianreading|Brian Reading]] ([[User talk:Brianreading#top|talk]]) 02:15, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
::::Thanks for the suggestions.  Again, perhaps it is time for you to do some soul-searching on the [[WP:OWN]] front. [[User:Racepacket|Racepacket]] ([[User talk:Racepacket|talk]]) 15:05, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
:::::What makes you think I claim ownership of the articles I contribute to? I'd do the same regarding copyright violations on any article I see on Wikipedia.  Honestly, if I really felt like I should be the sole controller of content for an article, I wouldn't be writing it on Wikipedia.  I have a bit more common sense than that.  Again, I understand the goals of the project.  Honestly, I think it's you who will need to get a better grasp of community skills, particularly [[WP:CIVIL]].  If a copyright violation arises, one that is certainly not cut and dry, you'll need to explain your reasoning for adding this back to the article.  Copyright violations are to be handled seriously in this project. [[User:Brianreading|Brian Reading]] ([[User talk:Brianreading#top|talk]]) 17:58, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
::::::To answer your question, [[WP:OWN]] address emotional ownership of articles and states, "If this watchfulness starts to become possessiveness, then you may be overdoing it." I am sorry if I came across in any way as uncivil, but repeated deletion of different literary expressions as each being a copyright violation is not civil either.  By the way, my source was another wiki, not the ''New York Times.'' [[User:Racepacket|Racepacket]] ([[User talk:Racepacket|talk]]) 22:31, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
:::::::Again, I would take the same action regardless of who wrote the content here.  I've even done so in the past. Copyright violations certainly deserve to be repeatedly removed.  Removing that which is disallowed on Wikipedia is not typically seen as uncivil behavior no matter how many times it is done.  Adding such disallowed material back without explanation usually is.  So, I'm still not following the logic you're using to claim that I'm being overprotective of the article.  Also, Wikis are generally not [[WP:Reliable sources|reliable sources]] as per [[WP:SPS]].  That text was specifically a word for word rip from the ''[[New York Times]]''. [[User:Brianreading|Brian Reading]] ([[User talk:Brianreading#top|talk]]) 03:06, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
::::::::Why did you feel that the subsequent, different versions were word for word? 08:47, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::I honestly don't know what you're talking about.  When reposted, it appeared to be the same wording. [[User:Brianreading|Brian Reading]] ([[User talk:Brianreading#top|talk]]) 09:09, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
::::::::::They were [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marguerite_Ross_Barnett&diff=305578932&oldid=305215718 different], hence my Aug 3 and 10 comments to you posted above. I have never argued that the material could not be copyrighted because it is factual, I have argued that given different literary expressions of the facts, at least one was not a copyright infringement. But I could not tell because you didn't identify what the alleged copyrighted material was. [[User:Racepacket|Racepacket]] ([[User talk:Racepacket|talk]]) 12:43, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

== Mobile IE ==
Is there really any serious debate that Mobile IE is remotely comparable to Safari mobile? What source would be acceptable to show this? [[User:Eraserhead1|Eraserhead1]] ([[User talk:Eraserhead1|talk]]) 20:58, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
:If by comparable, you mean there is an encyclopedic reasoning behind comparing the two web browsers, then maybe.  However, I don't believe this conversation is altogether appropriate on Wikipedia in the [[Internet Explorer Mobile]] or [[Safari (web browser)|Safari]] articles, as it is off -topic.  That is, there is nothing that makes the two worthwhile to be arbitrarily compared when there are many mobile web browsers out there.  I believe it would be much more appropriate to include comparisons in an article such as [[Comparison of web browsers]] instead.  Reviewer opinions are unnecessary at that point.  It allows for much less POV. [[User:Brianreading|Brian Reading]] ([[User talk:Brianreading#top|talk]]) 22:49, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
::My point in the article wasn't just comparing IE mobile with Safari, it also applies to all the other Webkit based browsers as well as Opera mobile - which together make up most of IE's competition on the mobile platforms. [[User:Eraserhead1|Eraserhead1]] ([[User talk:Eraserhead1|talk]]) 18:48, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
:::To add, comparing IE mobile to all of its competition seems worthy for the article [[User:Eraserhead1|Eraserhead1]] ([[User talk:Eraserhead1|talk]]) 18:54, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
::::I agree that it may be worthy to compare, but think about what it turns into.  Making a generalized statement comparing IE Mobile to the majority of its competition (Webkit-based or not) takes some POV because it obscures objective facts.  This is what reviewers do, but it's not what encyclopedia editors do.  It doesn't tell the whole story, and if it did, it would end up being disproportional to the article's main topic.  Hence the necessity for a separate article.  I think if the information is relevant, but not altogether appropriate, it should be placed in a "See also" section.  What's wrong with putting a link to [[Comparison of web browsers]], and let the information be presented in a full, objective manner?

== Your actions regarding my edits and others' edits on University of Houston related articles ==

You could have shown some courtesy by notifying me when you tagged [[:File:Renu Khator.jpg]] for speedy deletion due to "copyright violation."  The source to the photo contained the following: "These photographs of University of Houston System Chancellor and UH President Renu Khator are approved for public use.  We request that the credit line 'Photo Courtesy of UH' be included, if possible."  I did not engage in "copyright violation" per the website's message as you claimed in your tagging.  You also did not show any courtesy by commenting in the edit summary instead of leaving me a message of the situation.  You cannot expect people to "watch" or "patrol" every article they edit or every image they upload.  I no longer engage in major editing projects on Wikipedia, and I do not care or have time to "watch" or "patrol" pages.  

Instead of accusing the upload as a "copyright violation" regarding the image, you could have engaged in a dialogue with me and/or apply the correct copyright tagging with fair use rationale.  The image in question is available for publicity use and it qualifies for fair use instead of requesting it for speedy deletion.  

I do not care if the image is deleted even though it qualifies for fair use.  I just wanted UH related articles to look good, and I know you would want the same.  Moving forward, I would hope that you engage in a dialogue with me or any other editor first if/when you have concerns about the subject in question prior to taking actions on your own by accusing of "copyright violation" or marking it for "speedy deletion."

I have dismissed many of your past actions regarding my edits and others' edits on University of Houston and UHS related articles, but I will no longer tolerate that going forward.  You have reverted a lot of my edits and others edits just because you disagree or do not like it for whatever reason.  When you revert my edits, you make them look like they were malicious/vandalism by having the following in edit summaries: "Undid revision XXXXXXX by RJN..." In the future, please engage in a dialogue with me or any other editor when the edits are clearly not vandalism instead of leaving your comments in the edit summary.  In addition, please refrain from making condescending and superiority comments/remarks in edit summaries when reverting non-vandalism edits.  The dialogue or discussion of disagreements can be at the subject in question's talk page or the editor's talk page, instead of comments/remarks in the edit summary.

You have made significant contributions to UH and UHS related articles, and those contributions are much appreciated.  However, this does not mean you own these pages and act condescending toward other editors.  Your behaviors and reverts on UH and UHS related articles seem to imply that you take ownership of these articles by preventing others from editing.  

&mdash;[[User:RJN|RJN]] ([[User talk:RJN|talk]]) 00:19, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
:I apologize if I gave the impression of being discourteous.  I meant to actually give you some notification, but it slipped my mind.  However, the image is not in public domain, and while I understand your argument of fair use, I don't think it's possible for us to use photographs of living persons under fair use with the current terms of Wikipedia's copyright policy because a free equivalent is possible, albeit difficult to obtain.  I checked with the university's public relations department to clear this up, and can provide evidence of such from them if it's helpful.  I would like to note that I definitely value your work here on Wikipedia, as you are one of the only other major contributors to University of Houston-related articles.  

:I also do not intend for my reversions of your content to be considered attempts at reverting vandalism, as I know you are not a vandal.  I am simply following my interpretation of Wikipedia's workflow in that performing an undo is a standard practice regardless of intent by the author.  This is my purpose for adding comments besides the default ones with each edit summary.  I don't mean to imply ownership of these articles.  I do understand that they are just as much yours and mine, as anyone else's.

:Again, I apologize for any misunderstandings, and remain willing to discuss any edits in the future.

== UH System and UHCLC ==

I just uncovered a long-standing misinterpretation regarding the history of the UH System.  UHCLC was established by the Texas Legislature in 1971 as a "separate and distinct"[http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/ED/htm/ED.111.htm] degree-granting institution since its creation.[http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/history/HouHistory/HoustonHistory-Fall08.pdf]  So when the UH System was established in 1977, it had two freestanding universities: UH and UHCLC.  Only Downtown College and Victoria Center were branch campuses of UH.  I have made appropriate changes at respective articles and removed the UH System timeline image that I had uploaded.  Hopefully, I can create another one similar since I don't have access to Visio anymore.  Anyway, I just thought you'd want to know.  &mdash;[[User:RJN|RJN]] ([[User talk:RJN|talk]]) 13:36, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
:Wow, I can't believe we missed that after all this time! Thanks for clearing that up! [[User:Brianreading|Brian Reading]] ([[User talk:Brianreading#top|talk]]) 16:01, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

== UHD ==
Brian, I don't think the UHD article needs that name change section anymore.  This section has become a soapbox recently with deflamatory edits against UH.  I don't know if you are aware, but there has been a lot of deflamatory remarks against UH from the UHD community lately.  See this,[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=University_of_Houston%E2%80%93Downtown&diff=357669841&oldid=356028376] and read everything on the right side of the pane.  &mdash;[[User:RJN|RJN]] ([[User talk:RJN|talk]]) 04:49, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
:Yeah.  I think it may be appropriate to mention that there is an on-going name change measure from the university, but it's almost like a news story on there even after all the POV is taken out.  I would support any edit to trim-down, and incorporate the basics of that info into the history section of that article just on the basis of [[WP:INDISCRIMINATE]] (See #4.)

== Reason for Undoing Editing on Tapulous ==

Hi, Brian.  I believe the opinions of Tapulous' CEO are pertinent to the company's profile and could prove very useful to educate professionals who seek employment at Tapulous about the CEO's basic requirements for job applicants. The information in that section is solely factual and accurate to the audio recording of the CEO's own words. What's your objection to adding that section? Would you care to explain why you felt it was necessary to delete it? Thanks.
[[Special:Contributions/98.195.130.55|98.195.130.55]] ([[User talk:98.195.130.55|talk]]) 03:36, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
:Simply because the information is factual or accurate, does not merit inclusion.  Every little tidbit a CEO says is not worthy of being added to an encyclopedia article.  Sorry to say, but I honestly can't see the significance it makes to understanding the underlying subject matter of the article.  Remember, Wikipedia's role is not to be an employment guide.  [[User:Brianreading|Brian Reading]] ([[User talk:Brianreading#top|talk]]) 06:00, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

::Brian, I am disconcerted by your disregard of the Wikipedia policies regarding the deletion of content, especially when the information added clearly doesn't violate any of the policies and guidelines. Moreover, that company functions in a country where there is a culture of protecting its people from being discriminated against based on their age, race, national origin, religion, health, and so on. The bias of Tapulous' CEO can be perceived as controversial under that light and that is NOT a bit of information that should be considered irrelevant by any means. I would appreciate if you would take some extra time to ponder on this issue before deleting the section again. I urge you to abide by the policies of this community before deleting additions made by other editors—especially when those are verifiable and accurate and of importance to others—without finding consensus or a majority through the talk pages first. If you insist in doing otherwise, I'll be compelled to question your true motivation and I'll request you to disclose any relationship that you may have with that company or any of their staff, to establish that there are no conflict of interest from your part. Thanks for understanding. [[Special:Contributions/98.195.130.55|98.195.130.55]] ([[User talk:98.195.130.55|talk]]) 22:08, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

:::Brian, you have deleted that section again. This time, according to your reasoning, all mentions to Bart Decrem as head of Tapulous should then be omitted from the article. Your arguments simply don't make sense. I understand that, as a computer developer, you may have ties with the company and that clearly would be a conflict of interest that could be motivating you. Please, stop editing the article.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/98.195.130.55|98.195.130.55]] ([[User talk:98.195.130.55|talk]]) 06:42, 6 December 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
::::If you're accusing me of some sort of connection to Tapulous, you're flat-out wrong.  I have never had any connection with this organization, and only wish to serve the mission of Wikipedia.  I do not wish to paint Tapulous in either a positive nor negative light, because that would be antithetical to the concept of Wikipedia.  I should also point out that you have no authority to prohibit my editing of the article, and I will not forgo my privileges in the least.  It would be advantageous for you to understand that regardless of what content you want Wikipedia to have, it is solely an encyclopedia, and all of its content must be encyclopedic.  It is not an employment guide to help prospective employees determine where they choose to work.  If Decrem also gave an interview where he noted that McDonald's was his favorite fast food restaurant, would this be relevant? Of course not! Simply because Decrem has said ''something'' does not make it encyclopedic.  If you are claiming that this information is in fact encyclopedic, then you are attempting to portray a false controversy based on your point of view about the subject.  Simply claiming that something can "be perceived as controversial", is your point of view, and does not merit its inclusion.  You cannot paint a picture that there is a controversy about Decrem's comments unless there is a documented phenomenon of such.  By "documented" I mean, reliable sources must exist that specifically note the controversy caused by Decrem's comments.  You must provide these sources with your contribution.  If you claim that this information still belongs despite a lack of controversy, then it is still inappropriate to include, as Wikipedia is not your soapbox for political viewpoints.  You claim that my arguments "don't make sense", but fail to point out any inconsistencies in logic.  As far as your claim that by my reasoning, all of Decrem's comments should not be included, I disagree.  For example, Decrem's comments about a major direction of the organization would certainly be appropriate.  Other appropriate subject matter for an encyclopedia article would be more information about Tapulous' acquisition by Disney or about the revenue trends of the organization, failing or otherwise.

:::::According to the policies you keep alluding to, you are supposed to reach consensus on a talk page such as this before deleting these additions to an article. You've been deleting that section without even trying to reach any consensus first. The controversial aspect of the CEO's comments has been explained above and possible implications could be considered of great important to investors of the company: the CEO has openly displayed his bias against hiring people of a certain age, a practice that is unpopular in the US, and that certainly qualifies as "comments about a major direction of the organization" as you've pointed out.

== Wikipedia Ambassador Program in Houston ==

Hi!  I'm leaving you this message because you're listed as a Wikipedian from Houston.  The [[Wikipedia:Ambassadors|Wikipedia Ambassador Program]] is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors from the Houston area, to help with Wikipedia assignments at [[Texas Southern University]].  Classes at TSU will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester, and the role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are ''not'' required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone in Houston who might be, please [[Special:EmailUser/Sross_(Public_Policy)|email me]] or leave a message on my talk page.  Thanks!--[[User:Sross (Public Policy)|Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation]] ([[User talk:Sross (Public Policy)|talk]]) 20:12, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
:Hi Brian.  At this point, we don't have any professors signed on at the University of Houston for Spring 2011, but if you're interested in being a Campus Ambassador, I encourage you to apply, and help us expand the program to your university in a future term.  And if you know any professors that teach public policy or closely related topics who might be interested for Spring 2011, then it might not be too late to get your university involved for the coming term.  (During this pilot project, we're focusing on public policy classes, but in the future it will be open to professors in any field.)  Here's the [[Wikipedia:Ambassadors/Steering Committee/Campus Ambassador selection process/Application|application form]], which you can email along with a CV/resume to ambassadors-en@wikimedia.org if you'd like to apply.

== Coat of arms of the University of Houston System ==

Hi, Brian.  I have uploaded the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Coat_of_arms_of_the_University_of_Houston_System.png coat of arms of the University of Houston System] as a replacement to the official seals in the infoboxes of UHS institutions.  According to the UH website, the seal is reserved for academic use only by the Office of the President and the Provost's Office.[http://www.uh.edu/policies/graphicstandards/graphic/index.php#seal] –[[User:RJN|RJN]] ([[User talk:RJN|talk]]) 07:07, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
:Hello there! I understand where you're getting at and certainly appreciate it, but it's my understanding that this policy does not apply to the Wikipedia project, and is simply for internal use of the university.  In fact most universities have the same policy with their academic seal.  I do disagree with the use of this coat of arms for several additional reasons: I have never seen this coat of arms by itself in use anywhere by the university, thus I don't feel that it represents the image (at least not to the extent of its use in infoboxes) of the university.  Without its accompaniment as part of the academic seal, it appears to be an unofficial image.  For an encyclopedia, this would be antithetical to the spirit of the project.  Moreover, the documentation of the [[Template:Infobox university|University infobox]] specifically notes that the image should "preferably [be] the university's '''official seal''' or logo."  Since the official seal exists and is uploaded, I feel that it more closely fits with the official documentation for the infobox.  Lastly, since a large part of the project is an effort to standardize our related articles, and other university articles (especially the featured ones) use the academic seals, I think it would be best to follow that example.  Would you be receptive to reverting this change back? [[User:Brianreading|Brian Reading]] ([[User talk:Brianreading#top|talk]]) 07:41, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

::Thanks for your input, Brian.  I have restored the official seals of UHS institutions in the infoboxes.  –[[User:RJN|RJN]] ([[User talk:RJN|talk]]) 10:06, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

::I have seen the coat of arms used by itself in UH, UHCL, and UHD publications—mostly in older publications of the 70s and 80s.  You can see the coat of arms used by itself on the UHS homepage at [http://www.uhsa.uh.edu/ www.uhsa.uh.edu].  You have to look very carefully within the middle of the gray box.

==WikiProject C-SPAN?==
Greetings fellow Wikipedia editor -

I am leaving you this note because I have reason to believe that you are interested in [[C-SPAN]]. (I may have made this assumption based on your [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/User:UBX/C-SPAN1&limit=500 C-SPAN user box], or perhaps for some other reason.) If this is not an interest of yours, please feel free to read no further and delete this message.

If you are in fact someone who is interested in C-SPAN, then let me put forward an idea that I have been kicking around for a while. What if we started a C-SPAN [[WikiProject]]? 

The parameters of this (potential) project are up for discussion, but it could include some or all of the following (as well as things that may occur to you that have not occurred to me):

*Creation, maintenance, and improvement of [[:Category:C-SPAN|articles and lists directly related to C-SPAN and its programming]].
*Use of C-SPAN programming in citations for various topics
*Inclusion of unique and targeted C-SPAN video links for various articles. (Doing this with respect for established guidelines at [[Wikipedia:External links]].) (Example: If you are interested in the submarine [[USS Wyoming (SSBN-742)]], then having easy access to the eight hours of programming taped while a C-SPAN crew were guests on that submarine could also be of interest to you.)
*Inclusion of (and possible further creation of) templated links such as <nowiki>{{C-SPAN|laurabush}}</nowiki>, that will easily take article readers to a link of all [[C-SPAN Video Library]] links for the person about whom the article is about.
*What else?

I don't know exactly how far we may want to go, nor in what directions, but I do believe ([[User:KConWiki#C-SPAN|as I have long noted on my user page]]) that C-SPAN and Wikipedia are both...

<blockquote>...fantastic vehicles for the free exchange of ideas and information in a non-sound-bite manner, and they both invite the participation of any parties (expert or amateur) who are interested in taking the time to absorb and/or contribute to the ideas and information offered. '''C-SPAN and Wikipedia go together like peanut butter and jelly''', and I want to help give other Wiki users easy access to the great work that C-SPAN has done on a variety of topics.</blockquote>

Now, I should mention that I have never started a WikiProject before, and I do not know the best way to go about it. (Perhaps one of you do?) Let me offer one of my sandbox pages, [[User:KConWiki/sandbox/Wikiproject C-SPAN?]], as a gathering area for comments until such time as we gather enough steam to start our own WikiProject page. 

Thanks for reading this far, and I hope that you will give some consideration as to whether this is something we ought to attempt. Please feel free to pass this message on to others you know whom might be interested, and please let me know your thoughts and comments.

== [[Christian Right]] ==
About your revert of my revert. That may be considered edit warring as you still have not attempted to address the change through discussion [[WP:BRD]]. The change you made by adding the word "Minor" the header is a point of view not established by section itself. Could you explain why you feel that is accurate?--<font face="Mistral" size="3;" style="text-shadow:1px 1px 3px #999;">[[User:Mark Miller|<span style="color:#008;">Mark</span>]]</font> 19:27, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
:Not sure what you mean by "not attempted to address the change", as I have added expanded reasoning in my edit summaries.  That type of discussion is typically considered sufficient until it is clear that further discussion is needed.  However, to further explain, the section renaming does ''not'' change the content of the section, but simply clarifies the content that is ''already'' existing.  The section consists almost entirely of minor political parties that are affiliated with the Christian Right.  Are we in agreement on this? If this were meant to be an all-inclusive section, then what is the reasoning for not including the Republican Party of the United States? It is one of the most prominent examples in western politics.  [[User:Brianreading|Brian Reading]] ([[User talk:Brianreading#top|talk]]) 07:24, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Hey, I thought you might be interested in helping to expand these two articles: [[Grand Texas Sports and Entertainment District]] and [[Grand Texas Theme Park]]. I realize it might seem a bit premature to have the theme park article forked off the parent district article, but I predict the district article will become large very quickly due to so many venues and the theme park should have enough info to stand alone. --[[User:Another Believer|<span style="color:navy;">Another Believer</span>]] <sub>([[User talk:Another Believer|<span style="color:#cc6600;">Talk</span>]])</sub> 01:32, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi there! my name is Jackie and I am one of the organizers of the international [[Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism|Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon]] taking place over Women's Day weekend (March 7-8, 2015). The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, plans to host an event, and I was wondering if you would be interested in helping facilitate the edit-a-thon, by leading a training (we encourage you to use [http://art.plusfeminism.org/?page_id=241 our training materials]) and helping new editors. If you are amenable to the idea, please contact us at info@art.plusfeminism.org, so we can put you in contact with the folks at the MFA. Thank you for your time. Looking forward to your response! Best, --[[User:Failedprojects|Failedprojects]] ([[User talk:Failedprojects|talk]]) 23:29, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

I started a Spanish article on the Red Line... it's very basic, but I'm trying to establish a system of ESwiki articles about Houston's public transport: [[:es:Línea Roja de METRORail]]

While I'll do what I can, I would like to know if you are aware of any colleagues/friends who know Spanish who would be interested in helping write these articles. Such articles could be of great help to Spanish speakers in Houston!

==[[:File:Aveva Stadium architectural rendering, July 2018.jpg]]==
[[File:Information.svg|left|25px|alt=]]Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to [[:Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing]].

Hi, Brian! I got inquiries from a user interested in restarting the Houston WikiProject. I was thinking of making it into a task force of WikiProject Texas since things are less busy and I wanted to have less administrative load, but perhaps you could provide some pointers and suggest whether this would be a good move or whether Houston should remain separate.

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of [[Banknotes of the United States dollar|United States banknotes]], yet only a fraction of these are represented on [[c:Main Page|Wikimedia Commons]] in the form of 2D scans.  Additionally, [[Colonial history of the United States|Colonial America]], the [[Confederate States of America|Confederate States]], the [[Republic of Texas]], multiple [[List of states and territories of the United States|states and territories]], communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons.

In the months of November and December, [[WP:WikiProject Numismatics|WikiProject Numismatics]] will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the [[c:COM:US Banknote Contest/2019|2019 US Banknote Contest]].  The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on [[m:Complete list of Wikimedia projects|all Wikimedia projects]].

== RESF ==

Hi, I've [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Rocky_Enterprise_Software_Foundation already made an article on the subject], but I can't move it to the right namespace, would you do it?<br>
Regarding this: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rocky_Linux&oldid=1066510911<br>
--[[User:Heikkikoskinen|Heikkikoskinen]] ([[User talk:Heikkikoskinen|talk]]) 20:24, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
:Hello! I took a look, and it looks like you've got a great start, but I actually don't think it's ready to be moved to the main namespace yet. The primary reason that it should not be moved yet is because it doesn't demonstrate Wikipedia's concept of [[Wikipedia:Notability|Notability]]. I understand that RESF is notable because of what they do, but that is a different standard than what Wikipedia requires. There is something called the "[[WP:GNG|General Notability Guideline]]" that we must abide by. The guideline basically states that an article's subject has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. As of right now, Rocky Linux has had significant coverage, but I'm not so sure about RESF in particular. If you can find the sources detailed in the GNG (even just a few), then it should be fine to move into the main namespace, and I can certainly do that for you. [[User:Brianreading|Brian Reading]] ([[User talk:Brianreading#top|talk]]) 22:56, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
:: Hi, I think the topic is significant because CentOS was the most used enterprise operating system in the world and Rocky is in full swing to take that place.[https://www.zdnet.com/article/centos-replacement-rocky-linux-8-4-arrives-and-proves-instantly-popular/ <sup>(1)</sup>] So the organization that develops it is significant. However, I understand the high standards of Wikipedia and I added sources to the article and improved on more.--[[User:Heikkikoskinen|Heikkikoskinen]] ([[User talk:Heikkikoskinen|talk]]) 12:11, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
::: Yes, "significance" on Wikipedia is a different beast. I personally agree that the subject is significant, but we need to see sources about the RESF as its primary subject matter, not simply mentioning their names in a source otherwise primarily covering Rocky Linux. Looks like you changed it to a redirect, and I support that move. Cheers. [[User:Brianreading|Brian Reading]] ([[User talk:Brianreading#top|talk]]) 22:26, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

== Revision to the Lenovo IdeaPad page ==

Hi Brian. My name is Stuart. I work for [[Lenovo]] and therefore have a disclosed conflict of interest on the [[IdeaPad]] page. The current IdeaPad page is mostly made up of data about each product release, but it's outdated, has many tags, and is poorly formatted. [[Talk:IdeaPad#Potential Revisions to Page|On the Talk page]] I proposed a product table (see [[User:StuartGill/DRAFTIdeaPadProductTable|here]]) similar the one at [[ThinkPad#Current_model_lines]] that would help clean-up/consolidate the page. 

I was hoping you might be willing to take a look and implement the product table however/wherever you deem appropriate, or provide any feedback/direction, with due regard for the comments {{ping|Mckaysalisbury}} already made on Talk. [[User:StuartGill|StuartGill]] ([[User talk:StuartGill|talk]]) 16:07, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

:@[[User:StuartGill|StuartGill]] I have weighed-in on that talk page. Thanks for reaching out and trying to get more consensus on this. We can continue more discussion there. I'll let [[User:Mckaysalisbury|Mckaysalisbury]] have a chance to respond, and if there is no further movement. I can definitely try to incorporate this table myself, because I think it is important for us to have more current info. [[User:Brianreading|Brian Reading]] ([[User talk:Brianreading#top|talk]]) 22:23, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
:::: Hi Brian. I know you said you wanted to give Mckaysalisbury an opportunity to chime in, but it's been three weeks with no response (and I was following up with him for about 2 months before that), so I wanted to check-in regarding the [[IdeaPad]] page and the [[User:StuartGill/DRAFTIdeaPadProductTable|draft product table]] I proposed as a replacement for most of the page. FYI - after we last spoke, the page was [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/IdeaPad|nominated for deletion]]<nowiki> basically for the same complaints I have regarding the quality of the page. ~~~~</nowiki>
::::[[User:StuartGill|StuartGill]] ([[User talk:StuartGill|talk]]) 16:03, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
::::: @[[User:StuartGill|StuartGill]]. I've implemented these changes. Thanks for trying to gain consensus and doing this the right way. [[User:Brianreading|Brian Reading]] ([[User talk:Brianreading#top|talk]]) 03:30, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

{{od}} Hi BrianReading. I disclosed a conflict of interest on the [[IdeaPad]] page and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:IdeaPad#Potential_Revisions_to_Page proposed a product table] as a possible replacement for 30+ separate sections on individual products/lines that are filled with tags, out-dated, incomplete, and contain excessive detail for an encyclopedia. You added the proposed product table, but didn't delete any of the content the table was intended to replace. I wasn't clear if you disagreed with proposal to replace the current content (not add to it), or if you just hadn't gotten to it. Let me know what you think is best and any way I can help.

== Pure Storage page revisions ==

My name is Zac and I work for a company called [[Pure Storage]]. I disclosed a COI and requested some changes [[Talk:Pure Storage#Requested edits|here]] including correcting that the Purity operating system is used in most, but not all, of the company's products, and correcting/updating the list of major product families. 

You'll see there that there's been some back and forth already. {{ping|Mckaysalisbury}} asked me to make it easier by proposing a draft ([[User:ZacBond/pure-storage-draft-jan-2023|linked here]]), rather than requesting specific edits. {{ping|North8000}} said he wanted to preserve the summaries of each product family (I had actually thought too much product information might be why the tag at the top). 

In any case, I've addressed all the feedback provided and not sure where to go from here in terms of getting the corrections actually implemented. Do you have time to chip in? If there's something else I need to do or some other feedback I need to address, just let me know. [[User:ZacBond|ZacBond]] ([[User talk:ZacBond|talk]]) 18:18, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
