RE: Deep Web

khai, sorry, I haven't logged into wikipedia in ages, i only just got your message... here's what you wrote me:

Hi, I was reading about the deep web and I read the paragraph you wrote about the fact that t has been noted that this can be (partially) overcome by having links to query results, thus increasing Google-style PageRank results for a theoretical member of the deep web.

Could you give me more info about this? I searched the web to find reference about query and deep web (and variations) and did not find anything.

Thanks, MiguelTremblay 22:17, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

take for an example the system on Amateur Writerz (http://awriterz.freelinuxhost.com). The categories are database queries that filter content by the category field and then dump to a table. But there are actual text links on the main page to the categories. Granted they take the form http://awriterz.freelinuxhost.com/Fantasy et al, but the pages found at those locations simply redirect to a database query, Google does have some of these pages indexed. I have seen a similar thing done on other pages where the query is simply put in GET variables submitted to a page and that is linked directly and it works just as well. The only benefit to using the page-then-redirect method that AWriterz uses is that if the query changes the Google link is still valid.

Cold Air Damming

Yes, I have the file. It's a PSD, and all of the text is on on seperate layers, so translating should be a breeze. I don't know if you care if it's emailed or uploaded to some hosting site, but let me know which works better for you. WindRunner 03:05, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of F2f (novel)

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is F2f (novel). We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/F2f (novel). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:20, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 22:09, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
