Revision as of 15:35, 8 November 2022
September 2022
Hello, I'm Mr.weedle. I noticed that in this edit to Amazon (company), you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mr.weedle (talk) 16:19, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
- The removal was explained, and I did use an edit summary. I think this was a mistake, as I don't think this rollback matches the WP:ROLLBACKUSE criteria. DFlhb (talk) 16:25, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
- I do see that my removal of "self-driving car" in the categories was mistaken; I hadn't seen Zoox. I think my other edits stand. DFlhb (talk) 18:21, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
- I just realized I forgot to notify you, and I don't know if automated edits to talk pages automatically subscribe you to replies. So here we go: User:Mr.weedle DFlhb (talk) 19:30, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

I don't understand why you duplicated the history of the Mac 128k from the Macintosh page to that page. As a general rule, information should only be in one place on WP; other places should link to it. Now, it may well be the case that the information should be divided differently between the two pages, but literal duplication is never a good idea -- what if someone improves one copy but not the other, for example? --Macrakis (talk) 17:49, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
- I was about to remove the passage from the Macintosh article, where it doesn't belong (WP:DUE), and replace it with a WP:SUMMARY of everything I moved to Mac 128k. I was just in the process of writing that summary. Is it ok by you if I revert back? DFlhb (talk) 17:54, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
Requesting your assistance on iPhone article
Hi, your work on the Macintosh article has been really amazing so far, and it has really been cleaned up and updated well! I have been trying to clean up the iPhone article for a while now, and I had separated a super lengthy "Hardware" section into its own article, iPhone hardware, which is also equally outdated. That article could even be cleaned up, shortened, and transferred back to the main iPhone article. Could I request your assistance in cleaning up these articles, as much as you can. Even a little bit of help is super appreciated, thank you in advance! Theknine2 (talk) 11:05, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
- Hi friend; I'd be happy to help with those; I likely won't have much time the rest of this week, but I'll start with a few sections, and take a deeper look at it when I have time. DFlhb (talk) 11:19, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
Possible copyright issue
your edit Triggered a report in CopyPatrol, the tool used to identify potential copyright violations. The text does appear to be copied from .com/blog/mac-os-x-installer this site. However, your edit summary says "(merged Installer)". That might mean you are merging text from an existing Wikipedia article something that is not typically detected by Copy Patrol.
I do have a couple of issues.
I don't see an article called "installer", although searching for that article brings me to Installation (computer programs). My cursory glance didn't identify the text in that article.
If you are merging tax from one article into another one that's permitted, but we do have some rules on how that should be done. Please note the best practices wording as outlined at Wikipedia:Copying_within_Wikipedia?
If you were doing a merge using an existing Wikipedia article could you follow the guidelines on how to properly attribute it. (Let me know if you need more help on how to do that.) If the information did not come from an existing Wikipedia article and came from .com/blog/mac-os-x-installer this site, it looks to me like it's a copyright issue and should be reverted. S Philbrick(Talk) 13:20, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
- Hi!
- I merged Installer (macOS) into List_of_macOS_components#Installer. You're right that I should be more specific in attributing it in edit summaries, and usually I am. I incorrectly thought that article merges didn't require attribution, only duplication of content; I stand corrected, and I'll do that for the remaining merges.
- Looking at Installer (macOS), it seems that the Wikipedia content predates the site you linked, so I don't believe there's a copyvio issue. DFlhb (talk) 13:26, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
Thank you!
Thanks to your suggestions, the article is now complete. You can now check it out at Early iPhone Processors. SMBMovieFan (talk) 16:56, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- Just gave it a read. Nicely done! DFlhb (talk) 19:03, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- I've made a few edits, feel free to review them or make further improvements. I've mostly replaced a few sources with better ones, and clarified the wording and added some detail.
- And one comment: do make sure you stick to reliable sources as much as possible; TweakTown isn't used much on Wikipedia, and YouTube links should usually be avoided too. The good thing about Apple is that there's tons of commonly-seen-as-reliable blogs and news sites that cover most things.
- Other than that, since I'm assuming this is your first article, nice job! DFlhb (talk) 19:39, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:Carbon Copy Cloner icon.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Carbon Copy Cloner icon.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:06, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

For your tireless work at Land. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 09:13, 25 October 2022 (UTC) |
- Thanks mate! Although I'm back at work, and tasks are piling up again, so I'm unlikely to be able to dedicate much time to Wikipedia for the next while. I'll keep watch on my watchlist, and might make minor edits here and there. DFlhb (talk) 18:25, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
- It's ok to take a break from time to time, we're humans after all :) CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 02:27, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
