Speedy deletion of Rinex[edit]

A tag has been placed on Rinex, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions do not conform to our policies. For more information on this, see

If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so on Wikipedia:Sandbox rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write {{helpme}} below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! Boreas 12:24, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Software GNSS Receiver[edit]

A Software GNSS Receiver is a GNSS receiver that has been designed and implemented following the philosophy of Software-defined radio.

A GNSS receiver is an electronic device that receives and digitally processes the signals from the a satellite constellation in order to provide position, velocity and time (of the receiver).

GNSS receivers have been traditionally implemented in hardware: a hardware GNSS receiver is conceived as a dedicated chip that have been designed and built (from the very beginning) with the only purpose of being a GNSS receiver.

In a Software GNSS Receiver, however, the whole digital processing is carried out by a general purpose microprocessor. In this approach, a (small and cheap) dedicated hardware is still needed, known as the frontend, which is in charge of amplifying and digitalizing the signal from the satellites, converting it in a stream of ones and zeros that can be digitally processed. Then, this raw digital stream enters a general purpose microprocessor that executes all the digital processes required for implementing the GNSS function.

When comparing Hardware vs Software GNSS Receivers, a number of pros and cons can be found for each approach:

Hardware GNSS receivers are in general more efficient from the point of view of, both, computational load and power consumption, since they have been designed, in a highly specialized way, with the only purpose of implementing the GNSS processing.

Software GNSS receivers allow a huge flexibility: many features of the receiver can be modified just through software. This provides adaptative capabilities, depending on the user's needs and working conditions. In addition, the receiver can be easily upgraded via software.

Under some assumptions, Software GNSS receivers can be more profitable for some applications, as long as a suficient computational power is available (and can be shared among multiple applications). For example, the microprocessor of a smartphone can be used to provide GNSS navigation with the only need of including a frontend (instead of a full, more expensive, hardware receiver).

Currently, most of the GNSS receiver market is still hardware. However, there already exists operational solutions based on the software approach and able to run on low-cost microprocessors. In fact, software GNSS receivers are expected to progressively increase its market share or even take over in the near future.

Proposed deletion of Software GNSS Receiver[edit]

The article Software GNSS Receiver has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

About an instance of a Software-defined radio but without substantial content. Not WP:N. Material is unreferenced.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Glrx (talk) 16:35, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your contributed article, Software GNSS Receiver[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Software GNSS Receiver. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Software-defined radio. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Software-defined radio - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Glrx (talk) 20:57, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nobel icons[edit]

I've seen that many of your edits have consisted of adding the Nobel Prize icon to infoboxes. Before you undertake such large-scale changes, I suggest you discuss at the talk page of the relevant guideline (WT:MOSICON in this case); I seem to recall that some editors expressed concerns about similar things in the past. — A. di M. 10:28, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't do this; there is a consensus that they are unhelpful. --John (talk) 06:01, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
