== DeadJournal ==
I've reverted your contribution to the article because: In computer terminology there is in fact such a thing as web master servers/slave servers in the same way there are database master/slaves. The master would assign some of the processing power to the slave machines. A request to www.deadjournal.com would (hopefully I'm correct in this) go first to the [[load balancer]], then to one of the slaves. If all of the processing power was assigned to just one machine, there would be delays in service (due to so many requests being queued). Hopefully I'm making sense here, if not, feel free to ask on my talk page and I'll try to explain it better. — [[User:nathanrdotcom|<
:In computer terminology, the "web master" is the person who manages the web servers. I would avoid using "web master" the way you do for that reason alone. Also note that in a proper load balancer setup, there may be database masters and slaves, as they keep application state and only the "masters" accept changes, but web servers rarely have the same configuration. The web servers have no need to accept changes other than updating application code. Hence, there's no need to distinguish web "masters" from "slaves". If application state is stored in the database and on the web servers -- the only configuration necessitating web "masters" and "slaves" -- it's generally a poorly designed application. --[[User:Davidstrauss|Davidstrauss]] 21:56, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
::Well yes, I know what "webmaster" is :P. I made myself a little clearer above -- and well, an application that will use lots of requests (ie LiveJournal with millions of users, potentially tons of requests per second) need other webservers to do the work. — [[User:nathanrdotcom|<
::Please note: It's difficult for me to explain things sometimes :\ — [[User:nathanrdotcom|<
:::I ''do'' understand how load balancers work. I'm a computer science major at UT Austin specializing in information systems. I still don't consider servers behind a load balancer "slaves" anymore than I consider drives in a RAID configuration "slaves." It's the same thing; a RAID controller distributes work among the drives (in addition to its other duties). --[[User:Davidstrauss|Davidstrauss]] 05:48, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

==Wikiality.com==
Hi there. I saw you posted on the talk for [[Stephen Colbert]] that "significant contributors to this and other Colbert-related articles should consider sending the host (Dreamhost.com) of Wikiality.com and Wikiality.net DMCA Takedown requests." due to hosting a version of the Colbert article which doesn't comply with the GFDL. I'm a significant contributor, but I'm not extremely familiar with GFDL law. Can you give me a better idea how I'd go about doing this? I checked out the link provided and I admit I'm a bit uncomfortable with the layout similarities combined with similar content -- seems potentially confusing to the reader. <span style="font-family:monospace"> -- (Lee)[[User:Lee_Bailey|Bailey]][[User talk:Lee_Bailey|<sup
:I'm on it. The form I'm found to use is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:DMCA_takedown_notice here]. I assume from it I should attempt to contact the site owner personally before sending this, which I have no problem with if needs be. The only question I have left is that Wikiality.com seems to be continously redirecting the "Stephen Colbert" to various different places with unique names -- I'm not sure how to list the infringing url in this case. I suppose I can just explain as much in plain english. In any case, thank you for keeping on top of these things. <span style="font-family:monospace"> -- (Lee)[[User:Lee_Bailey|Bailey]][[User talk:Lee_Bailey|<sup
::I'm doing my best to comply, but its a pretty hard task with thousands of users. Jimmy himself has emailed me saying that he loves the site and wants to work with me on it, so give me some breathing room. --[[User:Dauno|Dauno]] 05:48, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
== Re: Logo license removal of [[:Image:Scientologylogo.png]] ==
Just an FYI re your message. I did not create ''two'' images, merely [[:Image:Scientologylogo.png]], which was licensed under GFDL as it was an edit of [[:Image:Scientologylogo.GIF]], an image uploaded by another user (User [[User_talk:Where100|Where100]] - claimed to be under GDFL). Accordingly my edit followed the same license. Just wanted to make that clear - [[User:GIen|Gl<
:That's fine. I didn't check very carefully. But you should be careful, too, before relicensing something under the GFDL when it's incapable of being GFDL in the first place. --[[User:Davidstrauss|Davidstrauss]] 13:12, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

== Wikiality.com, part two ==
Hi again. Just wanted to alert you to the fact that although [http://www.wikiality.com Wikiality.com] now appears to be at least trying to comply with the terms of the GFDL, they're also [http://www.wikiality.com/Image:Wikiality_Logo2.jpg using Wikipedia's copyrighted logo] as part of their design for each page. I've dropped them a note (again) mentioning this and the fact they only link to the full text of the GFDL offsite rather than hosting in locally; however the I'm not sure I'm the right person to deal with issues concerning the logo. I thought I'd bring it to your attention and if you believe it's worth dealing with, you can pass it on the right person. Let me know if I can help. <span style="font-family:monospace"> -- (Lee)[[User:Lee_Bailey|Bailey]][[User talk:Lee_Bailey|<sup
:Because of the modification to the logo and the nature of the site, the logo may be protected by parody and fair use. --[[User:Davidstrauss|Davidstrauss]] 15:16, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
::Really? I'm surprised to hear that would qualify as parody. I've heard that exceptions in copyright law for parody are rather liberal, but I would have presumed that since the original image file is clearly used in its entirety, the use would be unacceptable -- the only 'modification' they've really done is superimposing another photo over it. But I don't really know much about that area of the law -- regardless, thanks for checking it out. <span style="font-family:monospace"> -- (Lee)[[User:Lee_Bailey|Bailey]][[User talk:Lee_Bailey|<sup
:::The site is a parody of Wikipedia. Thus, it has certain privileges to lampoon Wikipedia-related materials. I'm not saying it legally qualifies as fair-use parody, I'm just suggesting that it's a possibility. --[[User:Davidstrauss|Davidstrauss]] 21:37, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
:::: As the owner, administrator and whatever other title may be bestowed upon me, I've talked mutliple times with Jimmy as well as the CEO and various other company members about the site. All of them are excited about it. As the previous poster said, it definitely should be safe under parody. --[[User:Dauno|Dauno]] 05:16, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

==Cleanup [[Essentials of Fire Fighting|Essentials of Fire Fighting]]==
Hi David! I would welcome any suggestions you may have in regards to cleaning up the article on Essentials of Fire Fighting so that it appears to be more descriptive of the manual and less of an advertisement. Please post your recommendations in the Discussion page at that site. I will check in from time to time to ensure that I correct this in a timely manner. JMF 24 18:23 UTC September 2007.

== 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 ([[Help_talk:Minor_edit#Should_we_remove_the_Preference_setting_to_.22Mark_all_edits_minor_by_default.22_.3F|consensus discussion]]). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was <code>true</code>. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to <code>false</code> 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 in the usual way.
For established users such as yourself there is '''[[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)/Archive_78#Preference_to_mark_all_edits_minor_by_default_asked_to_be_removed_in_bugzilla:24313|a workaround available]]''' involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by [[WP:MINOR]]). 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]], [[User:LivingBot|LivingBot]] ([[User talk:LivingBot|talk]]) 19:32, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
== New Rational Skepticism WikiProject member asking for look at Theosophy entry ==
Since you are an active participant in the Rational Skepticism WikiProject, would you mind looking over the Wikipedia entry on Theosophy to see if you find any concerns?
I've been ordered to fix the page so that it accords with my understanding of the NPOV policy. I'm happy to do that but I have a lot of work at my job.
Now I've been told that I must make the changes by April 30th or the NPOV tag will be removed. I simply can't learn how to use Wikipedia as a newcomer, become familiar with all the sources, and make the edits if I must do it all by April 30th.
Would you look over the Theosophy page? Also, can you recommend anything? Thanks much,[[User:Factseducado|Factseducado]] ([[User talk:Factseducado|talk]]) 15:23, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
==[[Christ myth theory]]==
I am contacting you because you are a member of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Participants]].
Could you help us to modify a WP page to bring it to a more fair and balanced state? The "[[Christ myth theory]]" article has been hopelessly controlled by Christians who seem desperate to bring skepticism about the historicity of Jesus down to the level of a childish cult or something - they have even tagged the article with categories. " I made a number of copy edits, and added some authors to the Books section, and user [[User:TMDrew]] reverted every last one under the excuse "The authors mentioned are not respected scholars in this field" - clearly a violation of WP guidelines. I reverted, then user [[User:Bill the Cat 7]] reverted my edit. I reverted his, he reverted with rationale "Then put them back in without that part. Also, it is a FACT that there is almost universal consensus."<BR>
Anyway, your help would be greatly appreciated in combatting obstinate contributors like that who do not follow guidelines - please help.14:39, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
