 * PS, its never a good idea to directly put your email address on a website. Spam bots detect them. Check out Howto avoid getting spam and junk email

You should really try to keep you howto names in the format howto ...., Then at the bottom of the page as references put you name, username, details, links, etc. I suppose at the top you could add something like Howto .... using Michael Dvorkin's Oracle applications, and scripts, but it shouldn't be in the title. Anyway, your howto's are great, Ill help to interlink, and interwiki them when i have some time. ZyMOS 22:40, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi,

Thank you for your comment. I will change the name of my HOWTOs - please, let me know how I can do that.
 * On the bar with the edit button, there is a move button, that will do it ZyMOS 22:07, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

PS. However, I think that by putting my name in the howto title I say to the people: "Pay attention, it's not an Oracle official article, it's my own howto, it may have mistakes and may not work in all versions and on all operating systems". What's your opinion?

 * Well its a wiki, not on the Oracle site, so I don't this people would mistake this. And being a wiki people will edit the page, hopefully improving it.  So after a while, It may be quite different from your origional, So it wouldn't really be your howto.  Thats how we try to keep it.  But since you contributed the origional, you should put your name at the bottom, as the main reference.  Thats the way ive been tring to do things.  Thanks again.With your articles i think we can make a whole oracle section. ZyMOS 22:07, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Howto monitor latch waits on an SQL server is the general structure we use for howtos. I know most sites start with HOWTO: for computer sites. It was decided since we use all types of howtos, It should be howto. I though it should be HOWTO but it was argued for a long time, and its going to be Howto ..... ZyMOS 00:47, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
