Hello, wikipedia users. This is Jeremy. Please feel free to leave comments.
Stub merging
Is there any advantage to keeping articles that have been tagged for 3 years as stubs? They repeatedly explain the boot process, which is better left in the main MS DOS article. Aside from that, each article has about 1 line of content, which is also duplicated in the MS DOS article. My concern here is not saving the near-infinite storage resources of Misplaced Pages but instead putting things in context for the all to finite time available to a reader.
I'd like to see all of these properly merged into MS DOS:
- IBMBIO.COM and synonymous IO.SYS
- IBMDOS.COM and synonymous MSDOS.SYS
- DOS at least as far as it pertains to MS DOS descendants. Every disk operating system was called "DOS" - few of them were MS DOS.

Query about the possible return of a sock puppet
This is a preliminary inquiry. Is it possible to easily determine if the IP address for this user:
...matches the IP address for any of these:
http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Suspected_sock_puppets/Oppo212
??
I don't have any problems or violations to report at this time, just noted some similarities, and am exploring a possible conflict of interest related to the same article/company, The Burke Group.
If there's no easy way to check informally, i'm willing to just let it go for now.
thanks,
best wishes, Richard Myers (talk) 19:22, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
- Follow-up: i'm not an expert on sock puppets. But after my initial, tentative inquiry, others have explored the issue a little more fully.
- There are IP addresses that match... but i'm not comfortable reading the edit history and coming to this conclusion myself. Do you have a little free time to check it out?
- thanks, best wishes, Richard Myers (talk) 14:24, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks again for the prompt feedback.
- Take a look at this:
- Rgcroc appears to associate himself very closely with The Burke Group, even to the extent of knowing where David Burke goes drinking. That is followed by intimate knowledge of the company, which would most likely be possessed only by someone who works there.
- Then there is this entry, from Jbowersox, who declares "I am not the Burke Group."
- If Jbowersox is Rgcroc, then this denial is maybe cleverly worded so as to mislead?
- best wishes, Richard Myers (talk) 16:51, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
- I have attempted to summarize the issues here:
- Thanks sincerely for the help.

Third opinion
Hi, I see you're listed as a third opinion wikipedian and I'd like to have your opinion on a pretty conetnious article, the Dunmanway Massacre, which involved the deaths of aup to 14 people in April 1922 in Ireland. I don't want to colour your judgment before you read the piece with further comments, so I'll just say, that I favour this version and another user favours this one .
