Move Cinnarch article to mainspace

Hello. Your article on Cinnarch looks good. I suggest you call it Antergos and set up a page to redirect Cinnarch here. I noted your conversation with the user Ahunt. WP:V will not be a problem, especially for Antergos - I see a lot of reviews on a google search. Thanks, Anand 17:25, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi Anand, thanks for your comment. The article is unfortunately not complete enough to be released into mainspace now. The image needs to be changed, the references too, about half of it is still in Spanish and lots of more info needs to be added. As you've shown interest in it I've revived it (I was actually going to let it die) and I'll try to finish it in the next few days. After that I'll move it into mainspace and I'll let you know so you can contribute to it. Sounds ok to you? Cheers. Gaba 18:01, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Sounds good. I see now that the Cinnarch project has undergone the change to Antergos since you last worked on the article :) My thinking is that it is best to have one article covering both distros because it is essentially the same project. The information related to Antergos can be slowly added. Thanks, Anand 18:16, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Anand the article is now in mainspace: Antergos (operating system). The first thing it would need is a bigger resolution logo and a screen capture. I tried getting those but couldn't get the distro to boot properly neither on my system nor in a Virtualbox. Regards. Gaba 20:31, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

You have done an excellent job. I will add the screenshot and see if I can find a logo. I too ran into many issues/bugs while installing and it took me 2 whole days to fix them all. I remember 'only' these many and will post in their forum.

1. If the boot process hangs just before the desktop comes up, use the nomodeswitch boot option.
2. If you aren't seeing any progress, then use the CLI installer. It downloaded over 500 MB of packages for over 3 hours on my crappy connection.
3. If you are using a 3G modem or something, then you will need to start ModemManager manually.
4. Grub fails to install because the installer looks in /target/usr/sbin instead of /target/usr/bin. So install grub manually.

Thank you Anand! I see you added a screenshot and a bigger logo, great. What the article would need now is a bit more of external references (ie: not coming from Antergo's official site) to give it a bit more notability. Regarding your recommendations for installing I thank you very very much, but I sadly gave up trying to install this distro after failing the first couple of times. In this day and age I believe that a linux distro should work out of the box and not require the user to fiddle endlessly to make it work. Perhaps Antergos could've used a couple more months in the oven beta testing. Cheers mate. Gaba 15:05, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

I totally agree about distros working out of the box. FYI, I have added external references like you suggested. And Antergos addressed a couple of installation bugs in yesterday's release. Thanks, Anand 17:45, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 29

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Antergos (operating system), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Repositories (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Done :) Regards. Gaba 15:01, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

Hi Marshal, and thanks for the barnstar! I'm very sorry for how things turned out with the Arbcom ruling regarding you and Cambalachero. Much like with me and Wee an interaction ban with Lecen would've probably been enough, a full ban on Latin American history seems excessive to say the least. Regards. Gaba 02:21, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the words, Gaba. Things don't always go as expected, but life goes on. :)

I am now working on the FKI article. I am thinking about making a WP:RFC in the article for some parts in the etymology section. I initially thought the RFC was difficult to make, but it's apparently a very simple process (just follow the steps in the page). Added that it helps avoid any uncomfortable situations (such as trick questions or tag-teaming) that are obviously intended to confuse matters rather than help resolve the issue.

One last thing: Cambalachero taught me a valuable policy (WP:DENY) which I hope is also of help to you.

Best wishes.--MarshalN20 | 16:03, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
