== Computer hardware ==

Please understand the difference between the general term hardware that – when it comes to electronics and computers – may refer to any electronic circuit, such as single-purpose circuits designed to fulfill one particular job, and between computer hardware, which is hardware that is part of a computer, a general-purpose (or special- but multiple-purpose) device that can be custom-programmed to fulfill different jobs. Do not simply change all instances of hardware to computer hardware. Thanks. [[User:Nageh|Nageh]] ([[User talk:Nageh|talk]]) 22:04, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Editing this article to meet Wikipedia standards and restoring it to complete Wikipedia's coverage of hardware [[retailers' cooperative]]s is on my to-do list.

===Request===
Your bot [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requested_moves/Current_discussions&diff=530639583&oldid=530638682 removed] a valid although misplaced request. You can easily improve the project by creating the requested redirect. Thank you.

:[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requested_moves/Current_discussions&oldid=530638682 I see]. you can do this yourself.  Just click on the red link to [[fecit]], and enter the following text to create the redirect page: '''<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Pinxit]]</nowiki>''' and then save the page. Cheers, [[User:Wbm1058|Wbm1058]] ([[User talk:Wbm1058|talk]]) 19:00, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
:I just found that there is another way to do this. Go to [[Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects]] ([[WP:Redirects for creation]] redirects there). Either method is fine, but you might need to use the second method if you're not [[WP:autoconfirmed|autoconfirmed]]. – [[User:Wbm1058|Wbm1058]] ([[User talk:Wbm1058|talk]]) 19:14, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
::Thanks, but as an IP editor I can't create anything. I'll try the other route. Problem with such pages, in case you've never looked there, is that they have huge backlogs. Articles for creation sometimes has a backlog of over a thousand submissions. Odd that I couldn't find that page, though, so thank you--I knew it had to exist.

===Fecit===
Thanks--that will work. See [[Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation/Redirects/2013-01#Redirect_request:_Fecit|the frustrations of an IP editor]]? It takes two days for a simple redirect, and the ignorance of one editor can hold up the entire process.

:Yeah, I saw that, so I helped you out. Maybe there should be an article on ''Signatures and inscriptions on art'' or something like that, which covers both, and any other ways that artists have signed their works over the ages. I added a ref. that covers the topic.  If you stick with this, consider signing up for an account, that should ease these types of problems. [[User:Wbm1058|Wbm1058]] ([[User talk:Wbm1058#top|talk]]) 23:58, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
::For now, I would prefer not to. Odd--the German wiki has [[Signatur (kunst)]]; the best we can do is a pop-culture thing like [[Signature artwork]]. Thanks again. [[Special:Contributions/66.191.153.36|66.191.153.36]] ([[User talk:66.191.153.36|talk]]) 03:23, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
:::I see, [[de:Signatur (Kunst)]]... [[de:Fecit]] and [[de:Pinxit]] both redirect there. [[Signature (fine art)]] and [[Signature (art)]] are red links.  You're very welcome! – [[User:Wbm1058|Wbm1058]] ([[User talk:Wbm1058#top|talk]]) 03:52, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

== Polygraph examiner ==

Sorry - I didn't mean to be redirecting articles even while you were in the process of providing links to them! 0;-D Actually it was one of your links that called my attention to that unsourced stub. As you saw, I put some sourced information about polygraph examiners into the Polygraph article before redirecting it there. Sounds like you are OK with that? --[[User:MelanieN|MelanieN]] ([[User talk:MelanieN|talk]]) 18:00, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
:That's fine, I just tagged it with [[template:R with possibilities]]. Someone could expand it into a more detailed and sourced article about the profession. I was interested in the idea that ''polygraph examiner'' "is a lay term for the forensic [[psychophysiologist]]". If that could be confirmed, it would be nice to add that link back to the [[polygraph]] article, if the profession view themselves as ''[[forensic psychophysiologist]]s''. – [[User:Wbm1058|Wbm1058]] ([[User talk:Wbm1058#top|talk]]) 18:16, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
::Interesting. I don't find that term at the APA website;[http://www.polygraph.org/section/about-the-apa] I wonder who uses it? --[[User:MelanieN|MelanieN]] ([[User talk:MelanieN|talk]]) 18:20, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
:::Hmmm: http://itrpolygraph.com/ – but the Marine Corp lends some support to this: [http://usmilitary.about.com/od/enlistedjo2/a/5822.htm Marine Corps Enlisted Job Descriptions: MOS 5822 -- Forensic Psycho-physiologist (Polygraph Examiner)] – [[User:Wbm1058|Wbm1058]] ([[User talk:Wbm1058#top|talk]]) 18:28, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

== Pilot ==

[[Pilot Company]] should probably be merged into [[Pilot Flying J]]. First they sold their convenience stores in Tennessee and Kentucky to [[Casey's]], and then they sold everything else to Berkshire Hathaway. The Haslam family retired from the business, and has nothing left but the Cleveland Browns, Columbus Crew, and other assets unrelated to their original business. Seems to me that the "Company" is defunct. The [[Pilot Flying J]] article can cover the history of their Pilot.
