I came across your [[Wikipedia:Editor review/Melab-1|editor review]]. Do you intend to transclude it to the main page to get some reviews, or can it be deleted?

== McEliece ==

Hi Melab-1, I know that the Handbook states "at most t ones", I said as much on my comment on the articles discussion-page. However, in the papers that I read regarding the attack on the system the authors assume that the error-code has exactly t ones. I then reread the linked/cited paper by McEliece and found the quote "of length n and weight t". A vector only ever has weight t if it contains precisely t ones. I don't want to rollback the article just to spite you, I'd rather convince you of my position and hope you will re-edit the article yourself. Wishing you all the best.

==Speedy deletion of [[:This is an April Fool's Day Prank]]==
[[Image:Ambox warning_pn.svg|48px|left]] Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages such as [[:This is an April Fool's Day Prank]], to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our [[Wikipedia:List of policies|policies]]. If you would like to experiment, please use the [[Wikipedia:Sandbox|sandbox]]. 

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to '''the top of [[:This is an April Fool's Day Prank|the page that has been nominated for deletion]]''' (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''[[Talk:This is an April Fool&#39;s Day Prank|the talk page]]''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles|one of these admins]] to request that they  [[Wikipedia:Userfication#Userfication_of_deleted_content|userfy]] the page or have a copy emailed to you. <!-- Template:Db-vandalism-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Radiant chains|Radiant chains]] ([[User talk:Radiant chains|talk]]) 23:48, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

== RE: Parser function ==

I have answered your question about parser functions at the [[Wikipedia:Help_desk/Archives/2009 May_22#Parser_Function_for_AM_and_PM|Help desk]]. [[User:Iceblock|Iceblock]] ([[User talk:Iceblock#top|talk]]) 17:51, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

:Hello again. I forgot to tell you that the expression I gave you only works for standard time, not daylight saving time. For the latter, the "-&nbsp;5" must be changed to "-&nbsp;4". But it might be better to use the #time function like you do, but leave out the #ifexpr and change "h:i:s" to "h:i:s A" in the #time function. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! (I had not studied the time formatting options thoroughly.) And that way you only need to change one expression on daylight saving changes. :-) [[User:Iceblock|Iceblock]] ([[User talk:Iceblock#top|talk]]) 21:29, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

== PHP example code ==

Hello there. I noticed you included PHP code a while ago [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Modular_multiplicative_inverse&oldid=243992478 here]. I would like to say that PHP is a wonderful tool; however, it often doesn't allow the coder to write very accessible code. Also, I don't know if your coding habits have changed since October 8th, 2008, but it would be nice if you commented your example code and used more verbose variable names. I apologize if this message came off as rude or insulting; I meant neither.

Other than that, I must say that you have quite an extensive history on Wikipedia. Thanks for helping to make it a great place! [[User:Mindvirus|Mindvirus]] ([[User talk:Mindvirus|talk]]) 07:43, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

== Reviewer granted ==

[[File:Wikipedia Reviewer.svg|right|130px]]
Hello. Your account has been granted the "{{mono|1=reviewer}}" userright, allowing you to [[WP:Reviewing|review other users' edits]] on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a [[WP:Pending changes|two-month trial]] scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not [[wp:autoconfirmed|autoconfirmed]] to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only [[Special:StablePages|a small number of articles]], similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at [[Special:OldReviewedPages]].

For the guideline on reviewing, see [[Wikipedia:Reviewing]]. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found [[Help:Pending changes|here]], and the general policy for the trial can be found [[Wikipedia:Pending changes|here]].

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.<!-- Template:Reviewer granted --> [[User:Dabomb87|Dabomb87]] ([[User talk:Dabomb87|talk]]) 22:28, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

The article [[List of computer viruses (all)]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32; because of the following concern:
:'''Unencyclopedic list of information, per [[WP:NOTDIR]].'''

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:List of computer viruses (all)|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist.  The [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:PRODWarning --> '''[[User:MBisanz|<span style='color: #FFFF00;background-color: #0000FF;'>MBisanz</span>]]''' <sup>[[User talk:MBisanz|<span style='color: #FFA500;'>talk</span>]]</sup> 03:57, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

== Politics and talk pages. ==

That old joke about politics is just a joke: "Poly (meaning many) + ticks (meaning blood sucking parasites)".  The actual (boring) etymology is here: [[Wiktionary:politics]].

Also, the link on the left side of your home page that says "Click here to go to My Talk Page" actually takes whoever clicks it to their own talk page, not yours. [[User:StuRat|StuRat]] ([[User talk:StuRat|talk]]) 05:16, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

: Digging a little further, we find that the root is Greek πολίτης ''polítēs'' meaning ‘citizen’, from πόλις ''pólis'' ‘city’.  (English ''polite'' comes from an unrelated Latin word meaning ‘polished’.) —[[User:Tamfang|Tamfang]] ([[User talk:Tamfang|talk]]) 08:04, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

== Regarding Blue Submarine No.6 ==

I fixed the very minor issue you asked plus some more expansion as i wasnt that well experienced before. Anyways next time something that minor doesnt need to be brought up in talkpage unless theres an edit war building up. Other than that i hope you are satisfied on what it looks (currently) and if you see any other articles relating to anime/manga that released in English that need the basic expansion, feel free to let me know.[[User:Lucia Black|Lucia Black]] ([[User talk:Lucia Black|talk]]) 05:26, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

== Help to review a new proposed article ==

Hi Melab-1, I'm looking for editors who can help review a new article I've written on behalf of Rally.org, the online fundraising platform. As you're a member of WikiProject Websites and have some familiarity with website articles and related topics, I was wondering if you'd available to take a look at my draft and provide feedback. As I've written this for the company, I'm anxious to make sure it's neutral and follows Wikipedia guidelines. 

If you have time to take a look, the draft is in my user space here: [[User:16912_Rhiannon/Rally.org]] You can leave comments on the Talk page and make any edits in the draft as necessary. If you think it's ready to go live, feel free to move it into live article space, I won't move it myself as I follow the "bright line" rule of COI editing and don't edit live articles. Please let me know here or on my Talk page if you have any questions at all.

[[File:Wikimania 2012 portrait 102 by ragesoss, 2012-07-13.JPG|right|250px]]

As you may have already heard, the Wikipedia community lost an invaluable member of the community last month. Adrianne Wadewitz was a feminist scholar of 18th-Century British literature, and a prolific editor of the site. As part of a [[Wikipedia:Wadewitz Tribute Edit-a-thons|worldwide series of tributes]], New England Wikimedians, in conjunction with local institutions of higher learning, have created three edit-a-thons that will be occurring in May and June. The events are as follows:

*[[Wikipedia:Meetup/Boston/Wadewitz Memorial 2014|May 21st at Northeastern University's Snell Library]], in the Digital Scholarship Commons on the second floor
*[[Wikipedia:Meetup/Providence/Brown Wadewitz Memorial 2014|May 22nd at Brown University's Rockefeller Library]], in the Digital Scholarship Lab
*[[Wikipedia:Meetup/Boston/How to Run an Edit-a-thon/Adrianne Wadewitz Memorial Edit-a-thon|June 25th at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (exact location TBA)]], where we will also be hosting a "how to conduct an edit-a-thon" session beforehand

We hope that you will be able to join us, whether you are an experienced editor or are using Wikipedia for the first time.
