I closed this AfD where you suggested NUKEANDPAVE. I think that has been done satisfactorily in a new draft version, and your comments would be welcome at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2014 February 22. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 23:08, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@JohnCD: I'll go check it out now. Thank you! EvergreenFir (talk) 22:41, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ohai! Just noticed you had ja2. Would it be fun for you to translate over 1 more section from ja.wikipedia? :-) --Kim Bruning (talk) 01:03, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Kim Bruning: I can give it a shot! Might take me a bit to get to it thought.  :) EvergreenFir (talk) 21:02, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder if this user [1] is just playing with us? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 01:37, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

EvergreenFir, the information I added to the Kip McKean article IS sourced -- it is information directly taken from the article ^ Ostling, Richard N. "Keepers of the Flock." Time Magazine, May 18, 1992, that is already noted as a source to the same paragraph on the article on Kip McKean where I added the additional text. 140.198.105.26 (talk) 18:08, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You undo my change regarding Sirotan page. The information provided in the page isn't correct. The official site for Creative Yoko is http://www.creativeyoko.co.jp/, the one in previous version is completely misleading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Terrencelai (talk • contribs) 04:46, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Terrencelai: you are correct. I'll fix it. Thanks for messaging me. EvergreenFir (talk) 04:49, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The first link should be http://www.creativeyoko.co.jp as it is referring to Creative Yoko

The second link should be http://www.creativeyoko.co.jp/sirotan/contents/character/character.html as it is referring to the friends of Sirotan.

Sirotan Town is the official shop name in Japanese that selling Sirotan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Terrencelai (talk • contribs) 04:58, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why did u revert the last change? Suggest me a better way to put it? {{unsigned}122.172.225.147}}

Generally speaking, we don't include interlanguage links in the body of articles. Also, the sentence itself wasn't encyclopedic; it basically said "this is interesting, check it out." EvergreenFir (talk) 03:03, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you delete the changes to Jim Ballard's bio? He and I made the changes because the information on the page was inaccurate and was not done by someone who knows him or what his career entailed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Number13sgirl (talk • contribs) 05:01, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Because it was completely unsourced. EvergreenFir (talk) 05:18, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comment at Draft talk:Leslie Cornfeld. Would you be kind enough to say the same at the DRV at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2014 February 22? Regards, JohnCD (talk) 22:57, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@JohnCD: Done :) EvergreenFir (talk) 02:38, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

for edits like this? Anyway, thanks for your good sense and equanimity.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 06:24, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Because the smallest memory space a PCI device is permitted to implement is 16 bitsbytes, the two least significant bits of the address are not needed; equivalent information will arrive in the form of byte select signals.

I'm trying to figure out why you rejected this proposed edit.

Where does the article say "16 bits" anywhere? The only mention I can find is in I/O addressing, which applies only to I/O space, and is the size of the address, not the data.

The minimum 16-byte size is enforced by several sections of the PCI local bus specification (WMF doesn't want links, but it's easily findable on google):

PCI local bus specification:

Section 3.2.2.2 Memory Space Decoding

"In the memory address space, the AD[31::02] bus provides a DWORD aligned address. AD[1::0] are not part of the decode." This requires a 4-byte minimum.

PCI local bus spec 2.2, p. 28 (p. 48 of PDF)

PCI local bus spec 2.3, p. 28 (p. 42 of PDF)

PCI local bus spec 3.0, p. 45

Section 6.5.2.1 Address Maps

"The number of upper bits that a device actually implements depends on how much of the address space the device will respond to. A 32-bit register can be implemented to support a single memory size that is a power of 2 from 16 bytes to 2 GB."

Figure 6.5, "Base Address Register for Memory" shows bit 0 is 0 to indicate a memory space, bits 2:1 indicate addressing constraints, bit 3 indicates prefetchability, and bits 31:4 are the actual base address. This imposes a 16-byte minimum memory region size.

PCI local bus spec 2.2, p. 202–203 (p. 222–223 of PDF)

PCI local bus spec 2.3, p. 206–207 (p. 220–221 of PDF)

PCI local bus spec 3.0, p. 225–226

Also, for simple internal consistency reasons, the size can't be 16 bits. The entire technique works only because the minimum size is at least 4 bytes (32 bits). That means that a PCI device doesn't need to receive the two address lsbits to decide whether to assert DEVSEL#. If a device could allocate a 16-bit (2 byte) memory region, it would need to see A1 during the address phase to decide whether the address was inside its region or not.

Shall I try again with a pinpoint citation to the specification? 71.41.210.146 (talk) 09:39, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely. I'm sorry if I was incorrect. Thanks for messaging me to explain it. EvergreenFir (talk) 16:00, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi EvergreenFir. Just leaving you a note to let you know that you accepted a pending change at Lost (TV series) from an editor who was adding false info to multiple articles. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 00:26, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Paul Erik: Thank you for letting me know. The edit did not appear to be vandalism, so I accepted it. Thanks for catching it. EvergreenFir (talk) 04:21, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you pretty much got it. Sometimes I feel like the guy who walks behind the circus elephant with a broom, sweeping up the you-know-what. And I have to say that most of our sweeping follows a particular editor, cleaning up his "doo". Regards, WWGB (talk) 05:27, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Very curious to know the rationale behind your reversion. I'd really like to understand why it's preferable by you and the last person (or persons) who keep reverting her birth year to 1986 without any explanation, when the edit has been explained very clearly and there is even video included of Asa Akira herself verbally correcting the wrong birth year on Wikipedia.

Is it really preferable that Wikipedia intentionally contains what is blatantly invalid/incorrect information and with no apparent rationale at all?

This really puzzles me. It's no wonder people so often cite Wikipedia as being so unreliable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lucky760 (talk • contribs) 06:09, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Lucky760: I am a reviewer for articles that are frequently vandalized and require oversight. Your edit was reverted because no source or reason for the change was given. If you have a reliable source that specifies her birth year, by all means include it in your edit. You can learn more about references at WP:REF. EvergreenFir (talk) 06:15, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you have to delete all my pages from 138dude? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138dude (talk • contribs) 19:10, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't deleted any pages. I only reverted your vandalism. EvergreenFir (talk) 20:00, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This page is unambiguously promotional.However, every time I try and make a page that isn't promotional you delete me while I'm making the page. I'm trying to create a page about my company as a lot of my interns coming from england find it hard to understand the russian website. The page is factual not promotional. Promotional implies bias which it isn't. If you feel I written biased info tell where it is and I'll delete it. I keep having my page deleted by different "monitors" and so I'm to explain myself ever time. Could please help/ Advise me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yours Independent informtion

I edited an article and now a person posting under an IP, not a userID, claims to be the subject of the article. They are threatening me with lawsuits and claim they are "outing" me by calling me by a person's name other than my userID. The Talk page of the article lists the subject of the article as a banned. I understand this is considered an urgent situation but I do not know how to report it. Can you help? This is on the talk page for Rachel Marsden. I am not sure what I am supposed to do to report it. CammieD (talk) 04:18, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'll check it out and file a ANI report. EvergreenFir (talk) 04:23, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much :) CammieD (talk) 04:29, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So now some guy named Guy posted on my Talk page telling me I have to quit editing the Rachel Marsden page or be blocked. Only when I clicked on his page to see who he is there is a big red flag on his page that says "Rogue Administrator". Is this just some weirdo or is he someone in charge of something? CammieD (talk) 14:54, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Make that "Rouge Administrator". CammieD (talk) 14:59, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

JzG is an administrator. -- Hoary (talk) 15:01, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Should I continue trying to correct citations over there or just move on and let other people deal with it? CammieD (talk) 15:39, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
