New Student - kagalive1985

Hello! Thanks for creating this course, how are you going? Loving it so far even though I just started haha. Hopefully I can hold my interest in this to completion. Might learn a thing or two, hell might even learn three! You just never know. Best Wishes and Warm Regards. Kagalive1985 (talk) 14:20, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

I've finished my most recent exam! --Kagalive1985 (talk) 14:41, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

Kagalive1985, it's great to have you on board! It's my pleasure and passion to run this course, and I'm glad you're enjoying it. As I note in my feedback to your first exam (which requires your attention), it's a learning process for me, too, and anything you have to tell me is greatly appreciated. I certainly hope that you learn some, although you've impressed me thus far! Thanks for posting your row in the table. I fixed it so that the links were correct (you just switched my userpage with yours, nbd) and for spacing issues. Also, in the future, when generating exams, please remove the parentheses from the input box.

I think you'll see that I was quite harsh, as I always am. This isn't just you, it's to hold me accountable for making sure you know your stuff (even if you do, if I have any doubt, I want to make sure). Please take a look back through your first exam. Thanks, good job, and keep it up! --Jackson Peebles (talk) 02:45, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

Task Force 60

Thank you for your contribution. Please note that this article is in the draft phase on my user page, and therefore it is not ready for scrutiny. I have pre-populated numerous articles with the Task Force 60 link, so this Task Force 60 article will not be orphaned. Also, I will populate this article with the categories appropriate for U.S. naval task forces. I ask that you don't jump the gun and allow me to launch this article when it is ready.Marcd30319 (talk) 12:09, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

Marcd30319, thank you for addressing this so politely. I apologize if I got in the way of any edits that you're making when I was doing general cleanup, and I respect and admire the fact that you're drafting content for Wikipedia. Happy editing, and let me know if I can do anything to help! --Jackson Peebles (talk) 17:47, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

Please elaborate how adding README.1ST and History isn't constructive?
And how Summarizing my edit as "(identified as test/vandalism using STiki)"

What is STiki?

I'm a human being that has been there, and done that. I ran IBM 360
mainframes and DEC PDP-8s and PDP-11s with 16 K of core and 256BPI
magnetic tapes for NASA. My first home computer was a 6 foot tall
rack of equipment that plugged into the 220 V electric stove outlet
in the kitchen.
My fifth home computer was a 16KB IBM PC (serial number under 400)

I speak from experience. I've seen README.1ST files, README.DOC and
!README files on DECUS tapes from the 1970s.

How is adding "README.1ST" as "Information that you need to read before
you get to the General Information" considered "test / vandalism"?

How is adding "Some readme files have been seen with !README as the
first part of the filename to take advantage of the sorting - the "!"
(exclamation point) character sorts ahead of "A" and would be the
first file in the directory list." considered "test / vandalism"?

I mounted and read DECUS tapes on PDP-11s at NASA/JPL in Pasadena.
The DECUS software (like the compilers) was frequently better than the DEC stuff.

The DOC suffix indicated "DOCumentation" in the 1970s, long before
the IBM PC was introduced in 1981. Word didn't show up until 1983.
Yes, Microsoft hijacked the DOC suffix. They could have used WRD for Word.
If you want to use a less inflammatory term that "hijacked", go ahead.

Wikipedia is supposed to be an online encyclopedia. An encyclopedia
has history in it. I added history:
- "The first time this contributor saw a "readme" file was on a
- Digital Equipment Computer Users' Society DECUS free software
- magnetic tape around 1970 or 71. It was a single file on the
- beginning of the tape, containing notes about the tape itself,
- a list of contributors and their contact information, and
- then several paragraphs documenting each contributed file.
−
− Anybody have any older history?

How is adding something that is a part of Wikipedia considered vandalism - especially
when I'm ASKING for additional knowledgeable contributions to an article? Us
old farts are dying off and our knowledge and history is dying with us.

You reverted my contribution. Fine. Let's go through my contribution,
item by item, and see what parts you have issues with. Let's resolve
this.

Post your response here and I'll check this page tonight (Sunday) or tomorrow.
