Software Wikia is a wiki specialised on software using semantic extras. If a nice article does not have the required Wikipedia:Notability, simply export it and ask an admin for an import there.
All members of WikiProject Software are urged to install the Centralized Announcement System on their talk page.
I have changed the participant (members) table by replacing the Task column with Area of Expertise. I also introduced a new template based status system so as to "arrange" the members according to whether they are active, semi-active, inactive, or retired. Please update your entry accordingly.
New IRC server! The old channel on Freenode is not used anymore. See See here. Manual for using IRC can be found here for why. Find us at:

I noticed your questions on the reference desk. If you would like to learn this kind of stuff, I'm a big fan of Head First HTML. There's a sample chapter link on that page to show you their approach. I guarantee that you'll learn all kinds of stuff, if this is the kind of thing you want to learn. --- OtherDave (talk) 04:08, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
(No, I have no connection to them, but I do work in the training / learning field, and as offbeat as their material may seem, it's deeply rooted in sound learning practice.)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on L4RGE, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because L4RGE is an article about a certain website, blog, forum, or other web content that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles, as well as notability guidelines for websites. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting L4RGE, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:L4rgelogo.jpg)
Latest comment: 15 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
Thanks for uploading Image:L4rgelogo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:10, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
Image:Firefox problem.JPG
Latest comment: 15 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
Ah, humour/humor don't come across that well and neither does the fact that the image was being used. I had forgotten that if you use [[:image:Firefox problem.JPG]] then you get a link to the image but the image page doesn't show where it's being used. You need to drop the leading colon and add 20px to keep it nice and small.

Why do you say that someone that is a CEO/President of a private company is a notable person? There is no evidence of the company size or stature in Google. In addition, there is nothing about the person in Google.

Hey, you may have noticed that I have been mass removing instances of your image ChristmasTree.jpg. I have been doing some digging, and it is blatant that you did not make the image, or at least derived it from a source that you did not specify, did not attribute, and wrongly licensed. Do you have any explanation? — neuro(talk)17:08, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Account Creation Tool

Thank you for applying to access the account creation tool. Unfortunately I was unable to process your request. The ACC tool is a powerful program, and at the present time your account is either too new for us to determine whether you would know how to properly use the tool or that you have not attained the necessary level of trust to be granted access. Please don't take this personally and feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Prodegotalk02:01, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
A question
Latest comment: 15 years ago3 comments3 people in discussion
<copied from Dylan's talk, which was posted before Ten's notice>
I link(ed) to those users in my sig because they got blocked, but they were good users (except for the fact that they're indef-blocked) and I linked to them so they wouldn't be forgotten (hence the words "never forget" that linked to them). If you've seen any of my recent posts, however, you'll see that I have discontinued my links to CheeseDreams and Account created [...] Reference Desk. I have continued linking to -Ril- because he shared an interest with me: He got banned for having his signature set to ~~~~ , which had links to his name. Well, that's actually just one of many reasons he got blocked... But anyway, I also had that signature, but someone told me to stop and pointed at -ril- as an example. I stopped immediately. -ril-, on the other hand, didn't. He kept on going for a while, then (when he was told to stop for like the 50th time) he stopped - but changed his signature to read "Victim of signature fascism." I admired this boldness, and his interest in the same signature as me, and so I link to him still today. flaminglawyerc02:49, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Flaming, here's hoping you're having a wonderful Christmas, and here's also hoping that all your family and friends are well. Lets all hope that the year coming will be a good one! If we've had disputes in the past, I hold no grudges, especially at such a time as this. If you don't know I am, I apologise, feel free to remove this from your page. Come and say hi, I won't bite, I swear! It could even be good for me, you know - I'm feeling a little down at the moment with all of these snowmen giving me the cold shoulder :( — neur ho ho ho(talk)00:04, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Since Christmas has passed, I decided we needed something similar for January- so I made it, here. How'd you get anonimoty to work- I forgot the Special page for that. I you know it, can you tell me, please? Thank you! Resident Mario (talk) 17:22, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
[[10]] Done. You're right, it's not for greetings, an oversight on my part (oops). Actually, I intended it to be a friendly banner for use on a User page. It's not only for January, though. I planned to update it monthly- it's called "2009", after all!.

Happy New Year!
Hey there, Flaming! Happy new Gregorian year. All the best for the new year, both towards you and your family and friends too. I know that I am the only person lonely enough to be running this thing as the new year is ushered in, but meh, what are you going to do. I like to keep my templated messages in a satisfactorily melancholy tone. ;)
