==Civitavecchia==
Thanks for the minor correction made to my additions to the Civitavecchia article. Normally I don't make that mistake, but I seem to have slipped up.
 
==Preservation of [[Fecalcore]]==
Initially created for the graphics program the [[GIMP]], the '''GIMP Toolkit''' — abbreviated as '''GTK+''' — is one of the two most popular [[widget toolkit]]s for the [[X Window System]], intended for creating [[graphical user interface]]s.
Hi! I am very glad you found my article funny, that is the main point, a serious, encyclopedic funny. I see you were talking of preserving it on [[BJAODN]], which I would greatly appreciate, as I have put considerable time in making it what it is. Would you mind discussing the BJAODN w/ me and how I could put it on there? Or should I just go RAMBO and put it on there myself? Thanks!
GTK+ and [[Qt toolkit|Qt]] have supplanted [[Motif (widget toolkit)|Motif]], previously the most widely-used X widget toolkit.
== Sango's RfA ==
 
[[Image:WikiThanks.png|right|Thanks!]]
Licensed under the [[GNU Lesser General Public License|LGPL]], GTK+ is [[free software|free]] (and [[open source]]) [[software]], and is part of the [[GNU|GNU Project]].
Hi, Everyking. Thank you for supporting my RfA! I am honored to have your endoresment and hope to make good use of the mop. <font color="#3D9140">[[User:Sango123|Sango]]</font><font color="#006400">[[User talk:Sango123|123]]</font> 01:40, July 27, 2005 (UTC)
 
==AN/I==
==Programming Languages==
GTK+ uses the [[C programming language]], although its designers use an [[object-oriented]] paradigm. The [[GNOME]] platform bindings provide for [[C Plus Plus|C++]] ([[gtkmm]]), [[C Sharp programming language|C Sharp]], [[Perl]], [[Ruby programming language|Ruby]], [[Java programming language|Java]] and [[Python programming language|Python]] ([[PyGTK]]) bindings; others have written bindings for many other [[programming language]]s.
 
I think some of your recent comments on AN/I have really been over the line. I hope you'll moderate yourself as discussed in our mediation and other times. [[User:Snowspinner|Snowspinner]] 17:37, July 27, 2005 (UTC)
Object model used by Gtk+ assumes that automatic garbage collection is not present, and uses a [[reference counting]] scheme to trace objects' status.
It interacts very badly with languages that use [[garbage collection]].
Gtk widgets can, and typically do, contain pointers to garbage-collected objects (usually either event handlers or attributes of subclassed widgets).
 
/sigh. Arbitration will be requested against you shortly. [[User:Snowspinner|Snowspinner]] 18:11, July 27, 2005 (UTC)
Consider an extremely simple case of just 3 objects:
* Window '''w'''
* Button '''b''', parent of which is '''w'''
* event handler '''e''' for '''b''''s signal "clicked", that closes '''w''' when it's activated
 
Everyking, I noticed the request for arbitration regarding you and [[User:Snowspinner]] where you mention [[User:David Gerard]]. David Gerard was involved in a dispute with me and a few others wherein they attempted to discredit me and my attributions. David correctly recused the arbitration, but mentioned he was going to be submitting evidence. David has still not provided any evidence in the case. However, I have evidence of him arbitrarily claiming an organizations affiliations with Scientology. He initially ignoring my questions about it and then he came back and corrected his claim of affiliation which turned out to not be Scientology. He is a critic of Scientology, yet he is a member of the Scientology project which claims to have the goal of NPOV'ing Scientology articles. I don't know if this mention helps you in anyway, but I thought it wouldn't hurt your case or mine to mention it. If you want the evidence, let me know. Also, Snowspinner blocked me for 24 hours last weekend as a result of a erroneous 3RR report by [[User:Jdforrester]]. I explained this to them, but they ignored me and this was right at the time of dispute I mentioned above. TINC is no longer true, IMHO there IS somewhat of a cabal. --[[User:AI|AI]] 21:30, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
In this case '''w''' contains a reference to '''b''' (containers must be aware of all their children), '''b''' contains a reference to '''e''' (widgets must be aware of their event handlers), and '''e''' contains a reference to '''w''' (it must know which window to close). '''b''' also contains a reference to '''w''' (its parent), but it's a [[weak reference]], ignored by the garbage collector.
 
== McDonald's fun facts ==
After we close the window, and any references from the outside are gone, this cycle won't be freed. Not only those objects won't be freed, but also any objects linked from them (whether managed by Gtk or by the garbage collector) won't be freed.
 
I rarely snort when I laugh, but "you can't call the massacre a "fun fact"" in your edit summary did it. [[User:Joy Stovall|Joyous ]] [[User_talk:Joy Stovall|(talk)]] 00:44, July 28, 2005 (UTC)
In [[C programming language|C]] this problem does not occur, because a reference from '''e''' to '''w''' would be implicitely weak, and the language would rely on programmer not to use such links after the object has been freed (and cause a segfault in case of a programming error).
 
== Barnstar ==
In a garbage collected language, all references are strong by default. This ensures both safety and correctness of the garbage collection process - only the things that won't be used will be freed, and everything that can be proved by the collector not to be possible to use again will be freed. However, if some objects can't be reliably garbage collected, their problem will spread to all objects that can be accessed following a chain of links that starts from one of them, and whole garbage collection process will be severely disrupted.

Hi, EK. What was [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Everyking&diff=19776272&oldid=19731224 this] for? My faith in your vandal-fighting is still as strong as ever! Cheers, [[User:smoddy|<nowiki>[[smoddy]]</nowiki>]] 11:55, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
For that reason Gtk can't be used in garbage-collected languages (like [[Java programming language|Java]] or [[Ruby programming language|Ruby]]) without inducing severe [[memory leak|memory leakage]].

The end-user can configure the look of the toolkit, down to offering a number of different display ''engines''. Engines exist which emulate the look of other popular toolkits or platforms, like [[Windows 95]], [[Motif (widget toolkit)|Motif]], [[Qt toolkit | Qt]] or [[NEXTSTEP]].

== Arbitration Problems ==
[[Image:gimp2-2.png|right|thumb|300px|Screenshot of the GIMP 2.0 on Xfce4]]
 
I saw your troubles on the requests for arbitration pages, with respect to Raul654 and those other clowns. Don't let them get you down.
The [[GNOME]] environment uses GTK+ as a base, which means that programs written for GNOME use GTK+ as their toolkit. Not only GNOME applications use it, though, and any GTK+ program (or GNOME program, for that matter) can run on top of other desktop environments, such as [[KDE]] or [[Xfce]]. The [[GPE Palmtop Environment]] and Maemo, Nokia's internet tablet framework, also use GTK+ as a base. GTK+ can also run under [[Microsoft Windows]]. Some of the more unusual ports include [[DirectFB]] and [[ncurses]].

==Thanks==
GTK+ initially contained some utility routines that did not strictly relate to graphics, for instance providing such [[data structures]] as linked lists and [[binary tree]]s. Such general utilities, along with the object system called [[GObject]], have now migrated into a separate library, [[Glib]], which programmers use regularly to develop code that does not require a graphical interface.

==Important VFD==
GTK+ 2 developed with the intention of succeeding GTK+. Its new features include improved text rendering using [[Pango]], a new theme engine, improved accessibility using [[ATK]], complete transition to [[Unicode]] using [[UTF-8]] strings and a more flexible API. However, GTK+ 2 lacks compatibility with GTK+ 1, and programmers must port applications to it. Some programs continue to use GTK+ 1, as the original version remains in use, is faster, offers less complexity than GTK+ 2, and is more suitable for embedded applications than GTK+ 2.
Please see the [[commons:Template:Deletion_requests#List_of_victims_of_the_1913_Great_Lakes_storm|VFD for commons:List of victims of the 1913 Great Lakes storm]]. This is of '''vital importance'''. This list and others like it are being pushed off of the entire Wikimedia project. It started at Wikipedia, where they were VFDd in favor of moving to Wikisource/Commons. Now they are being [http://wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Scriptorium#Remove_Tables_and_Lists_from_Wikisource VFDd off Wikisource] (they don't really belong there, since they are not original source texts), with people there saying they should be on WP/Commons, and it is also being [[commons:Template:Deletion_requests#List_of_victims_of_the_1913_Great_Lakes_storm|VFDd on Commons]], where people don't realize that '''Commons accepts texts''' (says so right on the Main Page). This will set a precedent for any user-created lists. --{{User:Brian0918/sig}} 22:22, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

==WP:AN and arbitration talkback==
[[eu:GTK]]
My fellow James...it's odd, but I can't recall the last time I posted on your talk page. We've both been around for so long, I feel certain I have before....but perhaps I haven't? If so....allow me to belatedly welcome you to Wikipedia! (Forgive my bizarre sense of humor this evening.)
[[fr:GTK]]
 
[[it:GTK]]
Now, with my perhaps foolish attempt at humor aside, I hope you'll extend me the courtesy of hearing me out -- I'm tired of seeing you try to take on the AC on WP:AN. I said something about it before, apparently to no avail. Now you're talking back to them on AN about the agreement you made in EK3 or whatever the heck they called it. I almost unloaded on you right there, but I decided I should take this to you privately on talk first. You've been a fantastic contributor (better than I, by far) and a good admin (more active and probably more effective than I, again by far), and you deserve that courtesy. That said, I truly implore you, if you have any respect for my opinion whatsoever, stop doing this on AN. It only makes people like myself weary of your comments and frustrated at your desire to publically challenge and defy a group of people you clearly don't respect. And I like and value you as an editor (please don't misunderstand me on that point -- I'm very sincere about this).
[[lt:GTK]]
 
[[hu:GTK]]
I've served on the AC....longest 5 months of my wikicareer. I loathed every minute of it. Bearing responsibility for those decisions was agonizing -- no punishment seemed fair to anybody, no explanation was sufficient, no case moved quickly enough (or else we were over-hasty). That's not to say that there isn't legitimate room for criticizing arbitration here, or specific AC decisions. I know you feel shabbily treated by the AC. All I can say is, your public criticism of them is not being taken seriously, and only serves to further marginalize your opinion in the eyes of many (judging from the response of most editors to your comments). I think you have a valuable perspective -- you're an undeniably talented editor who has experienced the sanctions of the AC and has remained here as a contributor. I think that gives you an insight into arbitration that can be very helpful as we continue to explore how that process will be used by Wikipedia in the coming years. But I am continually frustrated by the fact that, as far as I can tell, you want to limit most of your criticism of arbitration to potshots and nit-picking, usually posted in a forum (AN) which is not traveled often enough by arbitrators (especially the arbitrators with whom you do not seem to have a "past"). I feel that, if you didn't do these things, you would be in a far better position to make some serious and well-thought-out suggestions for how arbitration can be improved here.
[[nl:GTK]]
 
[[ja:GTK]]
Yes, this is far too long -- if you've read it all, I thank you for that courtesy, and I hope I made it remotely worthwhile. If you want to discuss this with me, please drop me a note. Whether you do or not, please be fairly warned -- I respect you, I value your contributions, I hope to see some positive and constructive suggestions about arbitration from you in the future. But if I see you using the AN as a forum from which to criticize the AC (either explicitly, as you did in the Zivinbudas case a few weeks ago, or else implicitly, by challenging the lack of a time limit in an agreement that you voluntarily accepted and by then implying that you were coerced into that agreement), I'm not going to just leave a note here explaining my perspective. I'm going to be very clear about my objection on AN in response. I know you may take this as a threat, and I apologize if it reads as one. I just feel that my politeness in replying to you in the past was not taken seriously, and I want to be taken seriously by you -- I assure you, when you make serious criticisms of Wikipedia practice and policy, whether I agree with you or not, I always take you seriously. I wish you the best of luck in the future here, and I hope that my comments here did not offend you in any way -- I mean to be clear about how displeased I am, but not offensive or rude, and if you think I crossed the line, please know that I will fully apologize for doing so if I am informed.

:Thanks for your response, James. I hope you know that I don't mean to silence you, and I can't imagine that you think I have a personal grudge against you (I certainly don't). All I mean to say is that I personally feel that any quibbles or challenges you mean to address to the AC should go directly to them, not onto AN. And that I think you will find more support and more people seriously attending to your perspective if, instead of challenging the AC on specific issues on AN, you instead put together some more general thoughts on arbitration and what could be done to improve it, then invite others to comment and discuss. If I'm tempting you to violate your new agreement, please forgive me -- I'm not intending that. I just feel frustrated, because (though this is probably not a fully accurate perception) it appears to me that everytime the AC announces a decision on AN, you want to turn it into an opportunity to start an argument. And I'm saying that I feel that's not productive. I really appreciate your talking about this with me in a calm and reasonable manner (heck, I didn't expect any less :-) and I hope you don't feel attacked by me. I'm headed for bed, but thanks once again for your reply, and I hope this somewhat briefer note helps clarify my position. Best regards, [[User:Jwrosenzweig|Jwrosenzweig]] 10:10, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

== Heya... ==
 
I am currently in discussions with Ozemail regarding persistent vandalism that has been occuring from the following IP addresses in their network:

Calton told me that you were hip-deep in fighting these vandals. I need assistance with all the specific items of vandalism. I have setup a page to gather this evidence at [[User:Ta bu shi da yu/Ozemail]].
 
Are you able to help? If so, please use the format:

** Added abusive text to [[User:Ta bu shi da yu|Ta bu shi da yu]] user page
 
We'll see just how good their service is at responding to this sort of thing - we should be supporting any company that assists us. Therefore, I'm hoping that the Wikipedia spirit of cooperation and immense amount of volunteers will help with tracking down vandal edits.
 
If Ozemail gives a good response, we can use them as an example of a good ISP, and maybe even shame AOL into assisting us (we get lots of vandalism from them).
 
If nothing happens, I'll be taking the whole subnet to ArbCom as I can't think of any other way of dealing with the problem.

And once again I ask you why. To which policy or guideline are you referring?

== Admin out of control ==
Under exactly what authority does [[User:UninvitedCompany|UninvitedCompany]] think he can unilaterally permanently ban users, and destroy their user pages, and protect their talk pages so that they can't respond? - [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3A-Ril-&diff=21264723&oldid=21115048]
 
It should be noted that the alleged images were listed at [[User:Evil Monkey/Nudity]] as well as being considered entirely appropriate for articles, having, as far as I can tell, already survived IFD, and have been on Wikipedia for over a month.
 
Note that an arbcom case has only just opened and has by no means come down with even remotely any penalty such as a ban. UninvitedCompany seems to think he has greater authority than ArbCom, and can completely act outside it.
 
Does UninvitedCompany has infinite power and permission to unilaterally with impunity?
 
Particularly when the user/victim in question has challanged a prior abuse of adminship by UninvitedCompany in an RfC, and has diametrically opposed political opinions?
 
This seems to be a case of right wing evangelical Christian admin'''s''' thinking they have the right to dictate to everyone else.
 
It also seems in contempt of the arbitration committee's right to make the decision.

The WikiProject for decency is a mess. I appreciate your understanding that at least some of those involved in it's protection never desired to commence a witch hunt for whatever was deemed obscene. I'm for renaming and considering something that deals more with encyclopedic merit...this would greatly transcend the original direction the project seemed to be headed, one I would ultimately not been a part of, which was to go around tagging certain things. The project could discuss the possible legal ramifications of hosting images of individuals without also ensuring that there are appropriate legal disclaimers proving age of consent of persons displayed in such images...something Jimbo has stated he is not interested in doing. The project could also address the need for encyclopedic merit or worth of questionable sourcing, article content, and related issues.

:OK, if I see any more vandalism from that IP, I'll block it. [[User:Everyking|Everyking]] 07:23, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 
== Motorola i930--Vandalism Lock Request ==
 
The recent Vandalism incident at the article [[Motorola i930]] has really redflagged the integrity of the article. I keep watch on that article, and realized that there has been some vandalism attempts lately. If you are an Administrator and/or a Sysop, can you lock the Motorola i930 article for me to deal with Vandalism by Vandals? Those who want to discuss about changes should direct all the feedback to me. I appreciate it if you temporarily lock the Motorola i930 article to deal with vandalism. Thanks. &mdash; [[User:Vesther|Vesther]] 12:55, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Ah, burning midnight oil as well, I see. :) That "Jessica Stover" thing was little more than a single sentence and an external link. No notability established and I wiped it out as link spam. Sorry about brain fading on the summary. - [[User:Lucky 6.9|Lucky 6.9]] 07:11, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

I've been doing better if you look the Castro's page, I stopped calling him a "Dictator" (even though I REALLY think he is)...and agreed with the editor known as Speak Box, who has been editing the page recently.--[[User:Comandante Gomez|Comandante Gomez]] 04:21, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
 
== We Belong Together ==
 
James, I just noticed that you unprotected [[We Belong Together]] shortly after I'd protected it. Please don't do that again to articles I protect, and particularly not if you intend to edit them yourself. I protected because of the reverting between Omega and Mel, which both have discussed with me and which needs to be sorted out. In future, if you feel I've protected something inappropriately, I'd appreciate it if you'd leave a note on my talk page and give me time to respond. [[User:SlimVirgin|SlimVirgin]] <sup><font color="Purple">[[User_talk:SlimVirgin|(talk)]]</font></sup> 23:26, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
 
:As my request is denied, I'm therefore re-submitting it. If one admin protects a page, another admin shouldn't unprotect it just hours later, except in exceptional circumstances, where a mistake has been made or similar. This is a basic matter of courtesy, and so perhaps I should rephrase my request in those terms.
 
:As for the revert war, I agree that it's low level, but it's been going on for a long time and involves several articles, this one being the main bone of contention, it seems, and it needs to be sorted out, which is what I'm making an effort to do. [[User:SlimVirgin|SlimVirgin]] <sup><font color="Purple">[[User_talk:SlimVirgin|(talk)]]</font></sup> 03:45, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
 
::In that case, I owe you an apology. When I looked at the history, I misread it that the page was protected and unprotected on August 25, but now that I look properly, I see there were three days in between, which sheds a different light on it. I would still have appreciated a note in advance of unprotection, but three days is less of a deal than a few hours. I'm sorry for jumping the gun.

saw your post --and deletion --in re my post on Jimbo's page --yes, I got it wrong, but copied it to the "Real" page.
 
thanks again for your concern -- ps: we could use a few "affirmative" votes to encourage Terri Schiavo to kick butt. Thx in advance.--[[User:GordonWattsDotCom|GordonWattsDotCom]] 10:59, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 
 
 
==[[JonBenét Ramsey]]==
Hi, I'm playing around with wiki tonight, mostly just vandal hunting (for the first time), and I saw a recent entry for JonBenét, and decided that it was just...um...wrong...if you know what I mean. So I reverted it. In between I noticed that you saw it and didn't revert it, but instead just corrected the spelling (which I do find quite humorous). So should I have left it alone?

I don't know how you do it... even with all the RfArs and whatnot you still tirelessly edit. Try to remember that words do matter though, and I think if you keep that in mind maybe it'll improve with some of the other admins, no? Take care! --RN

Greetings: pawing through the SuperShadow edit history, I noticed you've edited the page in question before. I thought you'd want to know it is now the subject of a [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|Vote for Deletion]], at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SuperShadow]]. If you want, you could stop in there and cast a vote. --[[User:Marudubshinki|Maru]] 22:07, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
 
== Please could you comment on a peer review? ==
 
I was reading the ''[[Autobiography (Ashlee Simpson album)|Autobiography]]'' article, and was very impressed by it. I actually think it's one of the best Wikipedia articles on recent albums that I've seen. Anyway, after perusing the edit history, I noticed that you were responsible for most of the content of the article. This did not surprise me (due to your great contributions to [[Ashlee Simpson]]), but since the style of the ''Autobiography'' article influenced my expansion and rewrite of the article for ''[[Extraordinary Machine]]'' (which is a forthcoming album by [[Fiona Apple]]), I would be extremely grateful if you were to visit its peer review request [[Wikipedia:Peer review/Extraordinary Machine|here]], and comment and add suggestions on how the article could be improved. You don't have to, of course, but I want this article to be the best it can be, and I believe that your guidance may help me and the other editors of the article to achieve that goal. I even hope to submit it at [[WP:FAC]] some day after the album is released. Thanks in advance. [[User:Extraordinary Machine|Extraordinary Machine]] 23:34, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
 
 
== Winter War==
Re. "give me a break..how do you define "moral victory"?"
You're right, of course. But I put that in there as an attempt to give some ground to the "Finland won" POV revisionism, rather than just have a revert war with those guys.--[[User:67.101.67.73|67.101.67.73]] 14:43, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

== Museveni on peer review ==
 
Hey EK, just thought I'd let you know that [[Yoweri Museveni]] is now on [[Wikipedia:Peer review|peer review]] as you have contributed to it previously. I thought now was about the right time, as it would be good to get a feel for the kind of things people will say in [[WP:FAC]] now, rather than pressing ahead with expansion and then having to change a whole load of stuff later.

Another question, what is the policy regarding a father and son with the same name and both should have wikipedia articles. Is it [[Paul Butcher (Actor)]] and [[Paul Butcher (NBL Palyer)]] or [[Paul Butcher Jr.]] and [[Paul Butcher Sr.]]?
