[edit] CSD G4

Hey ZacBowling. CSD G4 is a common source of confusion. I have deleted Zygon: When Being Me Is Not Enough but not as a repost. G4 is only for articles deleted after debate at an XfD process such as WP:AFD, and does not apply to articles previously deleted on a speedy basis. Cheers.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 15:26, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Please continue to do so! We need all the help we can get.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 15:33, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pastebin

Hi ZacBowling, your more recent edit to the Pastebin article removes the only citation showing where the date(s) come from.. I think, with or without the 'chronology' there, should the ref not still exist? --Slepp (talk) 04:01, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

The quote wasn't really necessary to prove who came before who. The data in the ref tags wasn't really a citation, but just said how they came to that conclusion which goes along with WP:OR. A ref tag with the ling to archive.org after the year is ok though. -ZacBowlingtalk 04:13, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Can you take a look at the Gnopaste discussion on the main article? Mosez considers me too biased to remove it. --Slepp (talk) 22:59, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] .net framework, clr

Zac, I largely agree with your edits. Regarding ECMA 335, while true that it does not define the CLR, it does define the runtime virtual machine. (or, as it says, the Virtual Execution System). So how about if we phrase it as

"...which includes the Common Type System), the Common Intermediate Language, the runtime virtual machine, and the C# language to ECMA and the ISO engineering board, making them available as open standards [1]. Third parties are free to implement those components on other platforms."

Also is the distinction "engineering board" necessary? Wouldn't it be good enough to just say "ISO" ?

cheers Leo

just ISO is fine. I know someone is going to replace "runtime virtual machine" later with CLR :-P ZacBowling (user|talk) 06:06, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reversion in Human trafficking in Angeles City

Can you explain this edit please? You threw away a lot of my work with no explanation. This article is already subject to a lot of contentious editing, so I really don't wish to undo your reversion without understanding what is going on. / edg 05:57, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, vandal patrolling and it was flagged (contained a long list of keywords. I reverted it back. ZacBowling (user|talk) 06:01, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
Thank you very kindly. This article has been prone to terrible edit wars. That reversion was very scary. / edg 06:05, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Very curious here. What set off the alarm on that one? My edits weren't unusual for that article. / edg 06:08, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

I already cleared it off my screen, but I use a common list of words associated with vandalism. Also my vandal program only shows me one edit at a time, but the revert link will revert all the changes made continguiously. Need to tweak that feature. List of words I start out with is here: User:Lupin/badwords :-) ZacBowling (user|talk) 06:11, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
I use Lupin's tools, but not that feature. Thanks for filling me in. / edg 06:46, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Does My Bum Look Big?

I added that name to the list of shows screened on TV3 in New Zealand not because I was being smart and vandalising the page but because that is the name of one of the shows screening on TV3 right now. [1] That is the link to the show. So I was not vandalising the page when I added that link. 202.169.213.241 (talk) 06:37, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Ahh, ok. Best to add a <ref> tag around it. Better yet, create an account because your not as high on the vandal patrolling lists. ZacBowling (user|talk) 06:40, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Socks

Thanks for alerting me to him, tell me if you spot any more. --Chris 09:37, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Yah, I've got my watch list auto-refreshing. :-) ZacBowling (user|talk)
Thanks--Chris 09:50, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a bunch! :-) ZacBowling (user|talk) 16:59, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
