Start a new talk topic.

Note:

Posting notes: For the sake of keeping discussions together, unless you request otherwise, I will reply to your posts here and will also watch pages where I have posted myself and expect replies there. Keep content disputes off here. They belong to relevant articles' talk pages. If you've come here to sway me to a discussion/AfD on an article I have merely reverted or did other minor edit to, I'm most probably not interested. Such requests will be deleted immediately, or at best ignored. Similar requests by email will end up in the trash can. Don't revert edits to this talk page, unless they're obvious vandalism like blanking/malicious editing of other's comments etc. I'll deal with stupid/hate/spam messages myself. Please sign and date your entries by inserting ~~~~ at the end. Thank you!

My talkpage is very active, so please check the archives. 1, 2 User:Tyw7/archive template WikiProject Software Announcement Announcement 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. WikiProject Free Software is now merged with WikiProject Software. The link to WikiProject Free Software is Wikipedia:WikiProject Software/Free Software. To better serve Wikipedia, WikiProject Malware is now under the parent of WikiProject Computer Security. All Malware articles are currently being transferred over to the new project. In any case, you are welcome to join at WikiProject Computer Security! 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.

Thanks anyways, --The High Fin Sperm Whale 04:17, 12 August 2010 (UTC) Ehow[.]com {{help}} Why is ehow blacklisted? It seems like a decent site. --Tyw7  (☎ Contact me! • Contributions)   Changing the world one edit at a time! 03:44, 17 August 2010 (UTC) It is a wikiuser-generated content, thus not a reliable source, and people often mistake it for one. See WP:PST.  Chzz  ►  03:56, 17 August 2010 (UTC) Changed that from 'wiki' - I thought you meant 'wikihow'. Still, the rest all applies.  Chzz  ►  03:58, 17 August 2010 (UTC) I removed your question on the computing reference desk; there is no need to ask the same thing in so many places. Also, being a Wikipedia technical question, refdesk is not the right place. I've left the one on helpdesk, and there are replies there. See also WP:FORUMSHOP.  Chzz  ►  07:18, 17 August 2010 (UTC) Actually the one at Ref desk was just a small note... Wiki blocked me for quoting a "ehow.com" site. Thus, I decided to bring up the topic here (for quick answering) as well as the help desk (for long discussion). --Tyw7  (☎ Contact me! • Contributions)   Changing the world one edit at a time! 16:39, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
