[edit] My Loudness War Rewrite
I saw you noticed what I was trying to do there. Yeah, I haven't worked on it in a while, and with the changes made to the page I doubt I will in the future. I am no expert on the subject, especially when it comes to all of the physics stuff. I was trying more to remove the POV material more than to improve what content was there. The article is still riddled with POV, especially in the History section, but it is much better than it was when I first found it. Thanks for the comments, though. --Limetom 02:24, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- You are welcome :) I am not very certain with my English skills but if I feel that I could improve the original article I will do so. I already modified the section concerning Replay Gain. --pabouk 09:29, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pilsen issue
With regard to your Pilsen update:
1. I do not know where you went to school or whether you studied somewhere abroad however so called "North American English" represents ACADEMIC STANDARD these days so no matter whether you're attorney in Argentina or nurse in Sweden it would be nice to follow it and don't try to figure out some sort of "Czech-Kiwi English". Thus it's not some kind of "merely" argument. Therefore we do not write faculty but school instead.
2. The thing that UWB has arguable uneducated faculty members in its language departments who studied during Husak's era (and that are unable to translate properly name of their own univesity - how embarrassing btw) cannot override the fact that PROPER title is the University of Western Bohemia. Have you ever heard of any university bearing such geographic name ??? It's NORTHWESTERN (actually quite elite institution) or NORTHEASTERN NOT Northwest University...it's ADJECTIVE !!! The site is aimed for those who do not have a clue where this town or Uni actualy is. I think it's important to realize that.
3. I hope I clarified what was necessary.
Best,

[edit] Jan Kaplický
Hello Jacklee, thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia but I think that it is not a place for April jokes as you did by renaming Jan Kaplický to Jan Kapličký. I am wondering how did you "invent" the new spelling. I was born in Bohemia and I live there for 31 years but I have never seen surname Kapličký, it does not exist in this and surrounding regions or Czech language. In every Czech book or newspaper you will find the correct name: Jan Kaplický. --pabouk 07:24, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- It was certainly not meant as an April Fool's joke. I was following the spelling used in the newspaper article Woodman, Ellis. "The Library has Landed", The Daily Telegraph (Review), 2007-03-31. I suppose the journalist who wrote that article must have got it wrong. Sorry about that. Cheers, Jacklee 11:32, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- I just realized that the on-line version of the article spells the surname "Kaplický" correctly. I read the newspaper version of the article – it was spelled "Kapličký" there. Anyway, thanks a lot for reverting the mistakes. Cheers, Jacklee 11:42, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wireshark article low-importance assessment
In response to your question why the Wireshark article was rated low importance to WikiProject Free Software. I have taken the stance that the articles importance has meaning to Free Software as a whole. This can be very tricky to asses. I have valued approximately 100 articles, mostly articles about individual pieces of software. I didn't know most of them. How was I going to rate it? I made the judgement that software, independent of it's quality, should be viewed in the light of the importance to the Free Software community. Most articles have been rated low as a consequence. If you want to rate it as a mid-class I won't stop you, but I fear that consistency can be endangered. I hope that I have answered your question, Daimanta 11:13, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] In response to Overcompressed JPEG correction
Thank you for your feedback to this issue. I used Photoshop CS3 to correct the photos, and in the future I will keep in mind not to degrade quality in order to correct compression. Thanks for the feedback. Michael Schmatz
Hi, I just noticed the jpg compression tag you placed on Image:Scroll and ear.jpg last March. It was my intent for this picture to be a low-resolution icon-type small image; the low-res quality serves to generalize the subject. It was not my intent that the picture accurately portray any particular person or instrument, although I know who she is ;-) __Just plain Bill 01:38, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
- Hi, I understand that the image is intentionally cropped and that the aim was not to show the whole instrument or the person. I like the idea of the picture :) and I also think that the low resolution could be sufficient. I placed the tag there because the image contains easily noticeable JPEG artifacts especially around the scroll. For explanation what those artifacts are please see compression artifact.If you have the original picture in a higher quality it would help to crop the part again and to use a lower JPEG compression for storing the modified image. --pabouk 17:14, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent SAM Coupe edit
I noticed you recently changed the SAM Coupe article to incorrectly include KiB/MiB prefixes. Please do not makes these changes because they are against MOSNUM. MOSNUM says There is no consensus to use the newer IEC-recommended prefixes in Wikipedia articles to represent binary units. It also goes on to say stay with established usage in the article, and follow the lead of the first major contributor.. The original style used in the article is here and you can cleatly see it uses KB and MB. By the way the phrase "editors should not change prefixes from one style to the other" in MOSNUM doesn't apply to my edits because I'm using MOSNUM to correct the previous edit that was made to introduce KiB/MiB which differs from the original style. Fnagaton 13:37, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
- OK, you are right but please do not say that the article incorrectly included binary units prefixes. By the way I found using the SI prefixes in the meaning of the binary ones very confusing and I do not understand why there are people who do not want to accept the reasonable solution. --pabouk 15:19, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
