CpromptIn DOS, the command prompt was often referred to as the ''c: prompt'' when the current directory was set to the root directory of the C: Hard disk drive partitioning. I don't have much information here, mainly because I've made one too many boring homepages in the past. I can be reached over on Jabber at cprompt@theoretic.com. If you're unwilling to use Jabber, then the best way to reach me would be my talk page. I have an account by the same name on the Simple English Wikipedia, Wikibooks, and Wiktionary.

It doesn't seem to have been in an edit war and you haven't noted anything on Wikipedia:protected page. Please could you give the reason on that page or unprotect it. Thanks. User:AngelaUser talk:Angela 00:41, 21 Dec 2003 (UTC) :I don't remember protecting it, so either I didn't it accidentally, or someone is using my account. I've unprotected it, and will change my password as a precaution. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. :--User:Cprompt 01:46, 21 Dec 2003 (UTC) ::Thanks for letting me know. Don't worry, loads of pages get accidentally protected every week. User:AngelaUser talk:Angela 02:27, 21 Dec 2003 (UTC) ---- Hello, I'm Miguel Romero Schmidtke, the author of the article ''Comunleng'' of the wikipedia in spanish. I would like to thank you for translating it. Since I'm not fluent in english, and as you said you were not fluent in spanish, perhaps we could cooperate for some details. I think it would be a good idea to compare comunleng directly to english, instead of refearing to spanish. For exemple you could say that ''x'' has the same sound of the english ''sh'', and that ''u'' is pronounced like a short ''oo'' or like the ''ou'' in ''you'', it'll be easier to understand for an only-english speaker. You can ask me any question about this subject. :I'm glad you're pleased, Miguel! I will try to translate some more of the article later. You are right, it would be best to make comparisons to English. Don't be afraid to edit the English version! Your English seems good to me, and I will try to correct any errors you might make. There is some information that I am leaving out because myself or [http://world.altavista.com Babelfish] cannot translate it properly. :--User:Cprompt 07:14, 21 Dec 2003 (UTC) ---- Sorry about that, I was up rather too late that night and didn't quite appreciate the difference between "Talk" and "Sandbox". User:Ghruaim :No problem. :--User:Cprompt 15:09, 22 Jan 2004 (UTC) ---- Cprompt....just curious, why'd you nominate User:Metasquares for admin? If you've watched that page at all, you ought to have known that the answer would be a unanimous no, not because of anyone's conflict with Metasquares, but because Metasquares has hardly contributed here at all. I guess I'm just wondering if this was well-intentioned but maybe a little misinformed (as to the usual requirements for admins), or if you were trying to shake things up or make a statement. I'm not trying to cause trouble--just to understand. Please drop me a note at my User talk:Jwrosenzweig if you can help me out. Thanks, User:Jwrosenzweig 19:49, 30 Jan 2004 (UTC) :Jimbo Wales has said being a sysop should be "no big deal". It's a power that we'd give everyone; except that some people would then delete page after page, or protect every page in site. Being a sysop just means we restrict certain powers until we can trust that a contributor doesn't have any foul intention. In that spirit, I nominated Metasquares, because he has been lurking here for a while, hasn't caused any trouble, and has taken an interest in cleaning up the community. His contributions, though few, are actually pretty substantial. If I recall correctly, there's some articles he wrote from scratch, and a few stubs he turned into articles. I do not think he would go on a page-deleting rampage or block users wantonly. Wikipedians with less time on their hands should not be denied the opportunity to become a sysop. :--User:Cprompt 20:00, 30 Jan 2004 ::I respect your opinion--sorry if I seemed overly suspicious. I'm afraid I still can't support Metasquares, but I do recognize your very legitimate reasons for nominating him. Thanks for taking the time to respond, User:Jwrosenzweig 20:46, 30 Jan 2004 (UTC) :::No problem. Perhaps in the future we'll be able to agree on his nomination, when he's edited more articles. :::--User:Cprompt 21:45, 30 Jan 2004 (UTC) ::::I anticipate that, definitely. We'll see if I beat you to the nomination. :) Thanks for being understanding, User:Jwrosenzweig 20:40, 3 Feb 2004 (UTC) == Bureaucrat Status == You are now one of the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats. -- User:Infrogmation 19:47, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC) ---- Please come to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=MediaWiki:VfD-Dan_Waniek&action=edit and vote to keep this article. There is no reason that we should not include an article on this Romanian iridologist. The cabals attempt to labal this man as a "quack" only shows that inclusion of this page is necessary to maintain NPOV. User:Lir cprompt, RE: Keep. He may not be a major celebrity, but he seems fairly big in the field of iridology, which may or may not be a pseudoscience. His inclusion does little harm even if he is not famous, but his exclusion is causing a lot of anxiety. Even if people feel iridology is quackery, we can still treat the subject with NPOV and have a good article. --cprompt 15:29, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC), Dr Waniek has asked me to say the following on his behalf: *Thank you for the kind words! While they are perhaps not quite true, their sincerity, sense of fairness and fair play honor the spirit of truth which made the Wikipedic ideal so generous. Sincerely, User:Irismeister 17:59, 2004 Apr 19 (UTC) :::You're quite welcome! My "kind words" are blushing. :-) --User:Cprompt 00:40, 20 Apr 2004 (UTC) ---- The sample probably doesn't work... I might get around to replacing it, but all of the samples I upped were lost in software problems (there was a couple days earlier this year where images and media files were lost). User:TUF-KAT 15:08, Jun 15, 2004 (UTC) :Oh well. :-/ I might make a replacement sometime when I'm on a decent computer. 30 seconds sound okay? --User:Cprompt 16:47, Jun 15, 2004 (UTC) == Nothing too drastic == You can't make that claim, in the course of a normal day, everyone does something relatively drastic, it is part of the dragon's wills and the flow of our lives. User:Ilyanep 14:40, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC) ==RFC pages on VfD== Should RFC pages be placed on VfD to be deleted? I'm considering removing Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Slrubenstein, Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Jwrosenzweig and Wikipedia:Requests for comment/John Kenney from WP:VFD. Each of them was listed by User:CheeseDreams. Your comments on whether I should do this would be appreciated. - User:Ta bu shi da yu 03:30, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC) :Sure, put them on VfD. Let people talk em over. Makes sense to me. However, I'm not sure it's a good idea to delete RfC pages. I don't feel strongly enough either way to vote on VfD, but certainly list it and try to get a consensus. --User:Cprompt ---- Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! Come to Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC... User:Sj+">User Talk:Sj == Article Licensing == Hi, I've User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project to get users to Wikipedia:Multi-licensing all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (''CC-by-sa'') v1.0 and v2.0 Creative Commons Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The ''CC-by-sa'' license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the Wikipedia:List_of_Wikipedians_by_number_of_edits Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at ''minimum'' those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information: *User talk:Ram-Man#Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered *Wikipedia:Multi-licensing *User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the " See other meanings of words starting from letter: CCA | CB | CD | CE | CF | CG | CH | CI | CJ | CK | CL | CM | CN | CO | CP | CR | CS | CT | CU | CW | CX | CY | CZ |Words begining with Cprompt: Cprompt Cprompt Cprompt/Archive1 Cprompt/Watchlist
