I could revive the article. So in the future, One should have an eye on it and maybe update the current version of the software.
If there iy an paper on the elog, maybe it could be cited for more creditability.

I am not an Wikipedia expert, can anyone suggest on how to push for the article to be restored? Or do we just write it again, until people stop deleting it?

Hello,
I noticed the wikipedia article of the ELOG got deleted in November 2021.
With the reason: "Poorly sourced article, and I was not able to find good sources myself."
I could access the old article through web.archive.org, but for the project it would be good, if the article got revived.

| Andreas Luedeke | andreas.luedeke@psi.ch | Request | All | - | Re: Wikipedia Article deleted | It appears to me that this is a really stupid problem: the article provides many links to sources, but they are just links, not "references". That does not count, since links could be something else than references.
I'll try to edit it and transform the list of external links into references to verify the text. Lets hope that this will suffice.
Okay: found three articles about applications of ELOG and put them under references. I took the liberty to submit the draft: it shows that they expect some month delay for a review. I have no idea if that was what they want, but it is worth a try.

| John Kelly | john@secondcomingtechnologies.com | Request | All | - | Re: Wikipedia Article deleted | Wikipedia has been an unreliable source for a very long time, just for the reasons that we are seeing here now with psi and Elog. Those that 'run' Wikipedia are political and authoratative. I have not only had these negative experiences with 'them' but know of many others that have as well. I see no reason why an organization as ours with such great ideas, programs and people need to be on their site. I think it would 'say more' if we left this as is and let others see how unreliable Wikipedia really is.

| David Pilgram | David.Pilgram@epost.org.uk | Request | All | - | Re: Wikipedia Article deleted | I am rather with John on this.
I deliberately stopped contributing to Wikipedia years ago after I added an observation to an entry. That is, a piece of what could be called original research. It was shot down in flames for being precisely that: original research. From what I read in the Draft:Elog and the Talk section, I think that the same issue in some guise or other will come up. All of us use and love Elog - I think I use it for all of the listed purposes - but apart from being in the Debian distro (which I did not know about) there is very little published primary sources. Mind you, the quality of publications as primary sources can be questioned, I can bore on with several examples.
Has anyone ever published a paper citing their filing cabinet organisation? Elog's obviously different, but has the same problem when it comes to citations. It is a utility, a very useful one, but the sort of utility that might just make an aside in a paper these days. If we were in the 1980s and (hypothetically) Elog was available and as functional, that would probably make it the subject in computer research papers and magazines.
David.

| Andreas Warburton | andreas.warburton@mcgill.ca | Request | Mac OSX | 3.1.5 | Suggestion to update Mac OS X instructions in ELOG Administrator's Guide | The section of the ELOG Administrator's Guide https://elog.psi.ch/elog/adminguide.html describing how to build and install ELOG on a Mac OS X system has worked well for me for several years, even though there have been warnings that the "load" and "unload" subcommands of the "launchctl" command have been deprecated for some time. After trying my luck again on a new Mac with the latest operating system, I encountered errors of the type "Load failed: 5: Input/output error" when attempting to follow these instructions.
After a bit of searching around, I used information at the page https://www.alansiu.net/2023/11/15/launchctl-new-subcommand-basics-for-macos/ to deploy the more current subcommands as follows:
sudo launchctl enable system/ch.psi.elogd
sudo launchctl bootstrap system /Library/LaunchDaemons/ch.psi.elogd.plist
sudo launchctl disable system/ch.psi.elogd
Once the above can be verified, perhaps the instructions in the Administrator's Guide can be updated accordingly.
