[N8VEM: 16040] Re: Circuit Cellar site...

Woo Hoo! Success! Free at last! A huge "THANK YOU" to the Wikipedia recovery team and especially Oscar for the lifesaving articles on N8VEM! Congratulations! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

The N8VEM article is now back and active on Wikipedia. At present, it is undisputed. The administrator completely agreed that the original deletion was questionable and the new article was sufficient to justify reinstatement. It is probably VERY important that a reference to the new article be added to the Wikipedia article ASAP. --Wayne On Wednesday, July 17, 2013 8:17:03 AM UTC-7, Wayne Warthen wrote: I left a message for the administrator that ultimately deleted the article in June of 2012. This appears to be the way that Wikipedia wants such a request for reinstatement to be made in this situation and is probably the least likely to generate a defensive posture by anyone at Wikipedia.

Still trying to sort things out and making some progress but slow and very intermittent. Would someone please take another whack at the Wikipedia Gods (aka editors) to reinstate the N8VEM article based on the great work that Oscar has done? He has singled-handedly done a huge amount of work getting the Circuit Cellar article published. That may be enough to spur them to reinstate. Always open for discussion and new ideas. Thanks and have a nice day!

Sorry if I caused any grief by bringing this up. No, not at all - the idea of getting these articles published was exactly to get justification for a Wikipedia article. It's also a nice demonstration about the difference between Old Print Media and the internet age... getting the darn thing in the magazine costs 10 months. Some people develop two generations of a computer + operating system in less time than that :) Regards, Oscar. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "N8VEM" group.
