For another version of "now",...[edit]

  • Now, as for complaints, comments about me,....
  • ... as well as my complaints about this website's [these websites'] policies,.....
  • This system does not seem to be productive,.....
  • I, therefore, must offer some proposals on how to proceed; in fact, I do not conceive of how anything could improve w/o something very similar to these concepts. I am convinced that these issues, & wikimedia, would worsen unless some specific structure is put to implementing:

< http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Wiki_editor_DonFphrnqTaub_Persina&diff=178925926&oldid=178920267 >.

How might I be clearer?:

        • Are these merely advertizing?

If that is all that it is, then these websites are virtually a complete waste of the internet: period.


[01.] These specific proposals should elicit licit responses from the same persons who have hitherto commented on this page, attempting, to the extent feasible, to employ logic that I can comprehend, & that we could all endeavor to refine, that we could reach sufficient agreement that success is closer, within reach, feasible.

[02.] That this comment would be acknowledged once on my page, by one of you.

[03.] That comment would include a notation as to whether this page is permanent, perpetual, as archive, &/or otherwise.

[04.] Any & all further comment about me from all of the above persons would continue on this page, except where attached to a specific article per sé. Or, where specific provisions otherwise arise, develop.

[05.] That a specific page be created to supplement this one, w/ similar provisions, hereof:

[a.] Six to nine, inclusive, & approximate, issues would be listed. When approximately nine, or so, would be reached, one of us would generate an extension of some sort.

[b.] Therefore, twenty specific disputes would cause approximately two or three of this category.

[c.] A daisy-chain of issues would develop, w/ similar issues collected on one page.

[d.] Other disabled should be encouraged to contribute, or to similar variations.

[e.] This is the crucial element, the reason for much of this list, specifically. The complainant, & others, should sign as to whether each issue is resolved. If this provision is not implemented, then the very possibility of resolution is increasingly elusive.



Is this website fact, or fraud?? That is my challenge. I want this to become what it claims to be; it is so crucial, that it is definitively important that it would occur, & that many other similar websites would continually be generated, regarding every conceivable concept, conversation. Choose any recent international event,..... This sort of improved communication is absolutely necessary.

As the zero-point reference, UTC is also referred to by the military and civil aviation as Zulu time (Z).< > zulu zulu_(disambiguation) {{selfref|1=<table class="wikitable" style="text-align: center; margin: 0.5em auto"><tr><td>Example: '''{{currentdayname}}, {{currentyear}}-{{currentmonth}}-{{currentday2}}T{{currenttime}}UTC'''</td></tr></table> }} {{selfref|1=<table class="wikitable" style="text-align: center; margin: 0.5em auto"><tr><td>Example: '''{{CURRENTDAYNAME}}, {{CURRENTYEAR}}-{{CURRENTMONTH}}-{{CURRENTDAY2}}T{{CURRENTTIME}}UTC'''</td></tr></table> }}


Compromise abbreviation
source abbreviation
English CUT (coordinated universal time)
French TUC (temps universel coordonné)
compromise UTC (universal time, coordinated)

The International Telecommunication Union wanted Coordinated Universal Time to have a single abbreviation for all languages. English speakers and French speakers each wanted the initials of their respective languages' terms to be used internationally: "CUT" for "coordinated universal time" and "TUC" for "temps universel coordonné". This resulted in the final compromise of using UTC.< >"Why is UTC used as the acronym for Coordinated Universal Time instead of CUT?". {{cite web}}: Missing or empty |url= (help)< >

"UTC" also has the benefit that it fits in with the pattern for the abbreviations of variants of Universal Time. "UT0", "UT1", "UT1R", and others exist, so appending "C" for "coordinated" to the base "UT" is very satisfactory for those who are familiar with the other types of UT.

"UTC" has been erroneously expanded into "Universal Time Code" or "Universal Time Convention".< >{{cite web|url=| |accessdate=2006-07-26}}< >

UTC utc cut CUT Universal_Time_Coordinated_ wiktionary : emplacement [edit]
  • @ "cut" is:

Phrases starting with cut:

"...procedure for change data emplacement,..." seems poorly worded; I cannot translate it.



How did that get there?

Why did it get there?

Who did it?

What sort of code would do that?

Does it provide any perspective? How?

Does it relate to Greenwich, Greenwich_Mean_Time, Universal_Time, somehow?



Virtually everything scribed on the internet, particularly on these websites, is extremely dependent on time. The various pages related to time might become easier to use than they have been hitherto. It should, as well, be simpler to ascertain time from any page.

It's a neat little template, for sure. Most people don't know about it, but I did some work on it a while back, so... l'aqùatique talk 06:49, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You f/ that comment; however, that is certainly one of my rather very tertiary interests herein listed,....:

I have listed many much more granite issues, such as this list:

There are a variety of problems w/ the arrows:

most go right;

these lists are difficult to read;

What else shall it take to drag wikimedia in a more positive alternative direction??[edit]
  • Is it that most of your arrows turn right?
  • Why does wiki insist on being the problem, when it insists on advertizing itself as the solution?

I had sincerely thought that this is a good list:

If Barack_Hussein_Obama [edit]

could spend several hours as Iowa's nominee, the impossible might actually occur. How much longer before you shall respond to my challenge, & actually do what you claim to be doing?

[[ hopiakuta Please do sign your signature on your message. ~~ Thank You. -]] 12:00, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not at all surprised (although I am glad) that Obama won the caucuses.
As far as answering your challenge, I'm not sure what you are expecting from us. The sort of change that you are seeking, as desperately as it is needed, does not happen overnight. There is a team of people, including me, who are working as hard as we can to improve accessibility around here. If you really want to see change, why don't you join us, instead of simply complaining? l'aqùatique talk 18:43, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

sea change sea-change seachange ¡¿ doppelgänger [edit]

I do not know how to do that.

This my proposal:

If you reject that,....

If you have another proposal as to how I might propose regulations that would actually resolve these issues, then fine,....

  • Please, do tell me how I might scribe a regulation that would say that in many cases, deletion should not be the first response.

¡¿ doppelgänger.

  • Furthermore, you might, as well, suggest which elements of which pages you would encourage my edits on.
  • Yet further, you might assist me to communicate w/ the wiki software developers; although the basic software has some very excellent features, there are many suggestions that I could propose.
  • Even yet further, you might guide me, coach me, as to how to commence a wiki website, in order to work on several of these issues. Do you have a domain service provider preference?
  • Yet even more further, there are several issues that I've listed on this page; how might you guide me to correct some of these? These suggestions are sprinkled throughout my above comments.
  • In each case, propose what to do; I might just attempt it.

Fair enough. First off, though- this may interest you... I am actually writing to you over a dubious internet connection of unknown origin from aboard the M/V Malaspina of the Alaska Marine Highway System currently located in the Georgia Strait north of Nanaimo, British Columbia. So if I don't respond quickly, you know why.
I think that many of your problems stem from your computer itself. Quite unfortunately, technology is advancing so quickly these days that it seems like you can buy a computer and before you've even got it set up, it's obsolete. The software that wikipedia uses is among the most modern and advanced, and it really does require a new, new computer for full functionality. Now, you've had quite a bit of success even with your computer, but, I would suggest, that next time you have the opportunity to use a new computer (OS X or Windows XP+), say, at the library or work, wherever... you log into Wikipedia and tool around a bit. You may find that many of your accessibility problems have already been solved with fixes that require newer software to function.
Honestly, I had some other stuff to say, but it's like 11:00p where I am, the seas are kind of choppy, and I'm feeling a little green around the gills, so you'll excuse me if what I was going to say escapes me at the moment (read: I forgot). I'll write again tomorrow morning if I still have internet. Otherwise, I'll be back on dry land on Monday. l'aqùatique talk 08:08, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
