Please note: all of these (with the exception of traveliana) are on Belgian beer articles. Can we please keep discussion of this on this talk page. Thank you. 83.163.63.37 (talk) 11:19, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
I don't understand why you are ignoring this message. Would you mind telling me? 83.163.63.37 (talk) 19:20, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
I'm in sympathy with efforts to keep a lid on superfluous External links, but I can't figure out what you're up to here. There are only three external links remaining in this article (after a high of 12), yet for some reason you reverted the recent removal of a tag on the section. If you don't like the remaining links, maybe you could just delete them. (IMHO, they're not very useful.) Lou Sander (talk) 17:39, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
I would like to recommend that you add a photograph of the original kneeling chair, the Variable balans to this article....i am not able to do so.
It seems odd that an article on kneeling chairs does not contain the standard by which all another chairs in the category derived.

Hello Ronz. I believe there should be a "Free or Open Source Information Extraction Software" section in the article "Information Extraction". Except for GATE, OpenCalais is a very useful service, gaining more and more popularity, although it could be also seen as a service for named entity recognition. CRF++ is also a very good tool for IE used in several IE projects. Other tools exist as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by George1975 (talk • contribs) 14:52, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks. I updated the page, since I usually use it to compare different wiki farms. In fact, it was that article that helped me find Referata and YourWiki. Before I learned about them, I used Wikia to host all the wikis I'm involved it. I just wanted to make sure that the article remains useful to others. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 00:37, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
Which part of the reliable source guideline are you citing when removing "greekshops" as a reference? I did a quick check and the only thing related I could find was that promotional type websites should not be used to make "big" claims. Sourcing a chronology or release year is not a problem as far as I can see. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 19:52, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
Unless I missed something the only issue with those sources was with the blog, not the book. So I reinstated the book. If I am mistaken, please point me to the place such consensus was reached. Debresser (talk) 18:55, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Dear Ronz,
I am rather new at editing on Wikipedia, and so may be unaware of certain editing guidelines and general procedures, but I am surprised that you deleted all my recent additions to the article on Gene Savoy. Why delete additional titles of books by Gene Savoy under the section titled "Books by Gene Savoy"? Why delete additional links that lead to information that is supportive or gives positive recognition of Gene Savoy rather than including only links to information that is derogatory or insulting? And why do you object to moving controversial and highly-opinionated statements into a section titled "Controversy" rather than leaving them in the main body of the article where such statements can color the whole tone of the article? Please explain your purposes thoroughly. You seem to have "been around" for awhile, and I would appreciate knowing what the procedures are for making sure that an article like this one can become balanced rather than continue as it is.

Hi Ronz,
I noticed that you cleaned up the external links section on Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) on October 7th. Thank you for removing the spam link. However, I disagree with your removal of the Sense Clusters and S-Space Package links. As an active researcher in the field, these links provide significant value to those visitors who would like to see how LSA could be implemented. LSA is a non-trivial algorithm and the links provide detailed information for software developers. I believe this falls under the "accurate material that cannot be integrated into Wikipedia due to amount of detail" on the WP:EL page. Furthermore, both highlight different aspects of how LSA can be used within the Natural Language Processing field, which is not intuitive from the content of the Wikipedia article. If you still believe they should not be present, could you clarify your reasoning? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Juggernaut the (talk • contribs) 23:43, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Hello Ronz,
Thank you for your message.
I'm very keen on adding additional value to Wikipedia and felt that offering users an external link to user based reviews would be of value to the information already being offered. I have read the external links guide and felt the content I'm offering flowed from the article and due to its nature, was unsuitable for integration within the article itself.
I would be very grateful for any additional advice you could give on changes you would like to see and of course, anything I can do to add extra value to Wikipedia, which is already a fantastic resource that I use on almost a daily basis.
Thank you for your time,
Best Regards,

Would you object to removal of the cleanup tag from Outsourcing? (Some sections still a bit long and we've got a tag on the external links; but overall we might have reached the OK state.) RJFJR (talk) 15:12, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi. I am trying to understand the rules of this game. I have created a page for a water quality network...WQIN, that is completely legit and a very useful resource for us working on water quality. It has been deleted, and I think I understand why. I tried to compare it to the Slashdot article, which, on my understanding, it is the same type of resource. I can see that /. 's wording is more "encyclopedic" than what I wrote.
But I do not understand why removing the links on Water, water pollution and water quality? It is completely related and I think anybody looking for information would find that useful. By the way, WQIN is non commercial, it is not selling anything, just a virtual community of practice being developed at Colorado State University, where I am a PhD student(forgot to mention that before).
Granted it is not as well known as /., but who is it?
I am really trying to understand... so please tell me what I did wrong.

Hi Ronz...
After speaking to a few people over here in Mauritius as well as a couple of Religious Bodies in regards to the Sacred Lake of Ganga Talao, It seems that the link to the website can be added. I have read the terms and conditions for External Links of Wikipedia and to be honest we do not breach any of them.
The website itself is here to provide more information about the Sacred Lake, the events there, prayers etc... And you classified it as a Tourism site? huh? A bit strange for a tourist to look for prayers ? You spoke about promoting the website, huh? the aim is only to provide more information not available on the Wikipedia Article... Well we are not adding it as a source, just an External link.
But my query today is that i will be really glad if you could help me to include the website in the GangaTalao Article on Wikipedia. If you could guide me through about what's wrong with it? Or if we can get an Administrator to give a feedback?

Can you please allow the link to Pervasive DataRush to remain. While this is a proprietary technology, it is used by The University of Texas in Austin in data profiling/predictive analytics tests. Specifically, it was used in predictive analytics testing for Netflix in conjunction with UT -- it processes data at high rates to improve the data mining experience.

It is insane to suggest that no for-profit company can make a contribution on these legal forms. We have legal forms that a free to the public and that are used by lawyers around the country. Why on earth does someone think it is a good idea to delete these links? Wiki users come to these pages and spend over 3 minutes. It is a commerical site but there is no sales or lead pitch in the sample forms. These are sample forms for lawyers. I think maybe it would be wise if we did not become too overcome with our great power as editors. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.69.201.106 (talk) 02:01, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
I'm not sure I understand this paragraph. What I've said is that anyone looking at this stuff would realize it is offered under the rubric of a help center for lawyers. The paragraph above about someone being targeted, attacked, called names, stalked or blocked seems so out of context. I wrote one note (now two) listed above. Is there a trial lawyer editor who can look at these things because I'm clearly not selling free information for my competitor lawyers. I'm offering meaningful samples that illustrate the point being discussed. Do a google search for any of these terms. We are on top for them because we are one of the few law firms who have put up this kind of information. I'll show anyone who wants to see the all of the data on this, including how long Wiki readers stay to review these materials. I don't think it is fair to target our education efforts because we happen to be lawyers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.69.201.106 (talk) 12:28, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
There is no proper venue. I'm a relatively new editor according to my edit history so any complaint I issue about anything will simply get me targeted, attacked, called names, stalked and blocked. So the proper venue is acting just like the editor who is behaving badly toward me. There is no proper venue for newbies on wikipedia; they're not allowed. --IP69.226.103.13 (talk) 00:14, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
Hi Ronz
JTAG Free software paragraph was deleted by you today form the JTAG entry. Indeed I thought this might be a bit borderline regarding content - there is some genuine free software tool to be gained here that I figured could benefit the community reading the JTAG entry - if you feel this is not the case and it contravenes guidleines fair enough as I am not a very regular contributor it would be wrong of me to make a decision.
On the other hand I could use some guidance on a link to boundary-scan.co.uk, that you also deleted. This has been an external link on JTAG for 10 months without any issues. It does contain I think some valuable additional information on JTAG standards not shown wiki site - can you suggest how this site can be amended so as to remain a valuable external link ? All or nearly all external links on the JTAG entry are directed to pages of commercial software vendors so I guess we could delete all of these without redress, could we ?
Please advise

Hi Ronz
Last week I asked for some guidance on referencing a valuable site with JTAG information www.boundary-scan.co.uk none yet has been forthcoming With the execption of a product flash on the home-page (which can be removed if that will help) this site is non-biased and non-commercial. Today I added a reference to JTAG Flash Programming as this is not a widely understood topic and is succinctly dealt with on wwww.boundary-scan.co.uk page 9 well away form the home page - yet still you chose to delete it.
At least two of the existing references at the JTAG entry have more blatant commercial links than the one I inserted so do I delete thhes in a tit-for-tat mode or do I hope that you will examine my reference in more detail and deem it acceptable data form an expert source ?

Hi, I have that list on my watch page and saw the postings that you and SA did with the behavior of the other editors. You would think at the wiki alert civility policies would be followed. I am still amazed at how editors feel it's ok to behave like this. If you haven't read the latest, take a peek. I was going to make a comment but I was afraid I wouldn't remain civil after reading some of the comments that call SA a troll so I cancelled my post. I hope you are well. --CrohnieGalTalk 20:23, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
Hi. Just wondering why you think I'm spamming. I posted a couple of links to companies that provide digital cinema package encoding because there were none on the page. There are lots of links to other companies on there. Why are only the ones I post spam? I think it's relevant, interesting and useful information because so few companies offer DCP services. I even posted a name of the company under "list of digital cinema companies" and it was removed again. It is a digital cinema company so I don't see what the issue is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Margolisd (talk • contribs) 00:38, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
I apologise. I'm new to Wikipedia. It took me a while to even realise I was getting any messages. I added links to a company called ExpressDCP and another called DCPFoundry. They are not related to each other in any way whatsoever. The UK is actually quite a big place. Also, there are 14 companies listed as Digital Cinema Companies. So I could see no harm in adding two more. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Margolisd (talk • contribs) 02:59, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Ronz, could do with some support upon the disregard of the documentary evidence content of Hulda Clark's death certificate. Warm thanks; WATerian (talk) 19:27, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
Ronz, thanks for your good work in fighting link-spam. However, the ELs that you (or your bot) deleted from the article Angel investor are all legitimate links of long standing that have been exhaustively discussed and approved by the article's regular editors over the years (as you'll see on the article's Talk page). This article, precisely because of its subject matter, is particularly susceptible to external link spam for commercial purposes. However, rest assured that the three or four regular editors monitor it VERY closely and immediately revert spam link inclusions (as you can clearly see from the article's History.)
The remaining links (the ones you removed wholesale) are ones that the editors have determined are appropriate for this article according to WP:EL. They include the two non-profit institutions that study and report on the field (ACEF and CVR), the national non-profit associations that monitor the field in their respective regions or countries (EBAN, ACA, NACO, et al). and the one official platform for the industry that serves up live statistics on the subject (Angelsoft). In the future, please propose any wholesale edits like this on the article's Talk page for discussion, prior to changing the article, thanks! Yorker (talk) 05:01, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
So I thought I'd check up on the JTAG page and suddenly I see ugly banners on the top of the page saying more citations and better references are needed. I'm trying to make sense of this. When I look at that page and think about how to improve it, those issues aren't particularly on the radar. (I think: clearer presentation on various topics, more info here, too bad all the design-for-test stuff in WP is such a mess, should I add a detailed example of for example JTAG debug on ARM, and so on.)
For citations ... which specific things need citations? It's not helpful to make such blanket criticisms. Many details are in the IEEE spec, which are cited in the first sentence. And there are references to the higher level things built on top of those. Are there specific statements you'd like to see citations for? If not, I'd be inclined to just remove the "need citations" banner. Are you just asking for a light dusting of citations to make it all better, or are there something closer to objective criteria we could use to know when that goal has been met? The banner gives no help.
Same thing with "need references". Although there, I've got to point out that WP has, in effect, a bias against certain classes of technological topic. One way this shows up with JTAG is that essentially all interesting documents are primary sources (from JTAG vendors of one kind or another, thus foolishly deemed "not reliable"), and there aren't many viable secondary sources because the stuff is too darn technical for anything except almost content-free trade press notices ... except stuff from participants, thus classed as primary. Even the Universities go to primary sources instead of writing citable surveys. And it's still too new for there to be good tertiary sources; encyclopaedic content isn't there, outside of WP where it's still "in beta" (as it were). All of which means that I'm unfortunately used to seeing the best, and most authoritative, references in technical areas be treated like dirt by WPedians because they're not secondary sources. Sigh. If only it were Manga; then there'd be no problem getting acceptable secondary sources.
There are documents about using JTAG, like the TI "Testability Primer" referenced (as an external link), which I count as good references. But they don't necessarily relate to specific topics in the article. And like too many of the good technical refs, they focus on boundary scan applications ... instead of the day-in, day-out use of JTAG in systems development, outside of the manufacturing production test line.

I appreciate that you may find my contributions controversial, but that does not make them nonfactual. There were three sources cited, including the Food TV website. That is more than sufficient for a one paragraph addition.
Fact: Critics have noted her love of alcohol (see Referenced site) Fact: Lee spends a significant portion of her show discussing, making, and consuming cocktails (see show) Fact: Lee has prepared "Driver friendly" cocktails with liquor in them (See reference) Fact: Lee has prepared cocktails on a public beach (See reference) Fact: One of her critics has created a drinking game to honor her love of alcohol.
Stating and referencing verifiable facts is not libelous. If there is a specific statement you;d like me to edit or reference, please be more specific.

Nonsense. Other parts of the page already referenced FoodTV.com, so your claim that "None" of the sources met the standard is either false or selectively enforced. However, when I went to reinsert my factual statements onto her page, I noticed they had gone under "Personal Life" and not "Critical Reaction" - I was attempting to describe a noteworthy portion of the critical reaction to her show, and meant for the addition to be in that section. I have edited my comments to include more references, and placed it in the appropriate section. So to reiterate: I was stating facts and providing references, end of story.

Thank you for removing a bunch of gratuitous bolding and for taging the new section in the article on the genus Juglans. I have moved the section to the article on Juglans regia, because the food "walnut" of commerce is nearly always the Persian walnut (especially in Europe). I also moved your comment on the "Talk" page to the Juglans regia "Talk" page.
I am not sure what to do about such sections.
