There is a page for Identicons, but it makes more sense to have a page summarizing the area as a whole (rather than separate pages for identicons, semanticons, etc.)

Reference Implementations

I'm the author of libvisualid (I came here after I noticed that my website had been getting hits from this page), so I'm hesitant to edit the `VisualIDs for Nautilus Reference implementation of VisualIDs for the Linux Nautilus file browser' link myself, due to how it might look for me to edit a link to my own website..., but:

• The project is actually called "libvisualid", not "VisualIDs for Nautilus", and it's just a `reference implementation of VisualIDs', not specifically something for Nautilus or Linux (and, if you follow the link as it stands, you land on a page that doesn't really say anything about Nautilus or file-management but does say things about other applications).
• The hyperlink currently goes to a `current' page on my weblog; it really seems like the link `to the reference implementation' for something should actually go either to the actual project website (which itself includes links to the weblog as well as other resources), or a specific blog-post--not to whatever happens to be the latest set of blog-posts. Alternately, if a link does just go `to the weblog', shouldn't the title on the link be something general enough to be accurate, e.g.: "Joshua's blog about VisualIDs"?

I'd really appreciate if someone else could fix those issues (I did go through and fix the general attribution issues myself--including fixing my own name; those seemed like sufficiently obviously-nonconflicted edits...).

 Done. It's OK with me for you to make changes like those by yourself. As long as the editor with a COI identifies as such, small edits that don't count as promotion are allowed by WP:COIU - edits when "you are certain that a neutral editor would agree that your edits improve Wikipedia" are fine. Also WP:BOLD encourages everybody to be sorry better than safe; only if someone complains should you restraint from making even those.

For low traffic articles like this, asking at the talk page shows good faith (although it could be even better to ask at a related wikiproject). If nobody had appeared then you could have made the change yourself after a couple of weeks. Diego (talk) 14:43, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
