FAC nominations

To quote the WP:FAC rules - "If you nominate an article, you will be expected to address objections that are raised, or at least make a good-faith effort." - on your current and previous FAC noms (Sewage treatment and Occam's Razor) you have made no such effort. →Raul654 19:27, Sep 26, 2004 (UTC)

I'm mostly impartial to them, but considered them to be better than most other articles. I have no further interest in their status, nor in defending them if they are considered by some to be inadequate. I do hope they'll be improved to featured article quality. ‣ᓛᖁ♀ᑐ 21:54, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)

If you don't have an interest in their status or in defending them, then please don't nominate them. →Raul654 22:01, Sep 26, 2004 (UTC)

Surely they will be adopted by somebody if they are seen to be deserving of featured article status. This is a community effort, isn't it? No single contributor is responsible for any article, nor should the misunderstanding be made that only one editor is capable of advancing progress on any specific article. Be bold. ‣ᓛᖁ♀ᑐ 22:12, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)

In point of fact - no, most articles *do not* get adopted, as you say. And for the most part, the community is good at finding objections, but not fixing them - that job almost always falls to the nominator. And to put it simply - it's not the job of the community to fix your nominations for you. Now, there is finite space on that page, and there is finite viewership - if you do not intend to fix objections to your nominations, then don't take up space that someone else who *is* interested in fixing objections could otherwise be using. And finally, 'be bold' does not mean break every community rule and standard just because it suits you. →Raul654 22:50, Sep 26, 2004 (UTC)

Another related page is Ignore all rules. I'm interested in the overall improvement of Wikipedia, and one of the ways I can help is by nominating articles that show promise. Consider the history of sewage treatment. Following my nomination, four other editors became involved in it, with discussion on its talk page, and it is becoming less Americentric. This follows nearly two months of inactivity. Likewise, on Occam's Razor, six others have contributed since my nomination. Clearly strict adherence to the "rules" is a naïve and insular position which, had it been observed, would have prevented these improvements from occurring. Do you have Wikipedia's best interests in mind? Stop interfering. ‣ᓛᖁ♀ᑐ 23:12, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Borges & The Glass Bead Game

Why did you interlink Jorge Luis Borges and The Glass Bead Game? It doesn't seem unimaginable to draw some kind of connection between the two, but just putting them in each other's "see also" list seems useless. I'd be comfortable saying that I'm pretty expert on Borges, and I read "The Glass Bead Game" some 30 years ago, and while I can see a certain intuitive connection, it seems more the type that is made by categories than by "see also".

Anyway, I'm inclined to delete this from the Borges article (which I have on my watchlist), but thought I'd ask you first in case there is a good explanation I'm missing. -- Jmabel | Talk 20:57, Nov 25, 2004 (UTC)

I might point out that this sort of interconnection is entirely in line with the game. Doesn't it sound a lot like sth Borges would have written? It isn't a particularly surprising connection if one knows Borges translated some of Hermann Hesse's work, most likely including The Glass Bead Game, but it's a striking similarity that may be of interest to people who are familiar with Borges or with Hesse but not both.

It's difficult to think of a categorization that would capture the similarities between works analagous to The Glass Bead Game. What would appear natural and convey the subtle differences between these and other works? ‣ᓛᖁ♀ᑐ 00:20, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Gaps in the Borges article are not as urgent as are the surpluses...be that as it may, if there is reason to believe B. translated it, there's a place for that in the article (International Themes table). That information is probably in Efraín Kristal's book on Borges & translation, which I don't have. Otherwise, the meta-category seems to be intertextuality. To oversimply only a little, literature about literature. Borges and koans are both "natural" references for that stub. I'd say Hesse normally is not but the Glass Bead Game (which I recently reread) is a clear exception. -user:munge 27 Nov 2004

I saw these links, too, and was puzzled. I wondered: what exactly is the connection here? If it can't be described -- even in a few words in the See Also sections -- it should, I think, be deleted.--Macrakis 23:38, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Toward fairness

Indeed, it is true that I can be quirky, eccentric, and occasionally flat-out wrong; but, as I am fond of asserting, the vast majority of the complaints against me step entirely from trumped-up charges, propaganda, and a egotistic effort on the part of the cabal to avoid admitting that it might be wrong about some things. I was banned for arguing too much; but in a lot of cases, I was right (for instance, Columbus did work as a slave-trader, it is POV to state Wilhelm I was stupid, and DNA is a nucleic acid). Lirath Q. Pynnor

• What is most distressing in all this is not that Wikipedia tolerates trolls and other "problem users", but that it is even more willing to tolerate rude admins who consider themselves to be somewhat beyond the laws of Wikipedia — users who do not share the vast tolerance of the community, especially not when they are criticized (and far be it from them to be critical of their own actions).

You got it right there, the issue here is not whether or not my actions are appropriate or not (i admit, sometimes they are deliberately inappropriate); the issue is that admins can get away with far worse behavior. Lirath Q. Pynnor

Pity the community doesn't seem likely to improve any time soon. =/

Names in tsunami disaster

Hi there, I saw your post on the talk page for the Tsunami in the Indian Ocean (Talk:2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake).

You wrote "Yes. I don't see why the world's largest encyclopedia shouldn't try to list everybody." Exactly. very good point.

I was just wondering how to go ahead to be able to make a list of all the people that died in the disaster. I have beeb looking at the sep11 wiki, which I think is a wonderful project and just in the spirit of what I feel wikis can do. I think there should be some kind of system where people can set up similar projects for other disasters and I like the idea of the proposed wikimorial. There are some thinking yet to be done, but it would be good if we could have something up now as the events in the Indian Ocean are happening. any ideas what to do next? brandnewbrain 08:14, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Inuktitut/Inuinnaqtun

Hi. I noticed that you are listed as the only admin for the Inuktitut Wikipedia. I am off to a educators conference in Kugluktuk this Sunday and intend to promote Inuktitut Wikipedia as a resource. I was wondering if it would be possible to have the main page and all the other pages include Inuinnaqtun versions? I'm not suggesting that you do all that work yourself. I will pitch it as something that the high school students can work on. This way I can suggest that it would also be a valuable resource for those people who don't use syllabic. Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather 09:41, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Carcinogens

Hi Eequor, I noticed you've done a cleanup of the categorization of carcinogens, and made categories for each of the IARC groups. I've no problems with this, particularly as I don't want to get involved in the perennial Categories vs. Lists debate. I am on the look out for comments and suggestions for the coverage of carcinogens (in fact, chemical safety in general) in Wikipedia articles, and so I wondered if you had any! At present, I encourage the use of the IARC classification as it is international and because the assesments are published: the NTP (US) and EU classifications are also used in articles. Physchim62 00:56, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

The chemical safety information as presented in the infobox looks good; I like the extensive information provided in Chloroform (and the NFPA 704 diamond is a nice touch). On the other hand, I'm not quite sure about the R-phrases and S-phrases; it would be nice to have the textual descriptions of these as well, since they're a bit tedious to look up. I suppose that would take too much space, though.

On the other hand, it would be possible to inline the descriptions using {{abbr}} (or <abbr> if it's ever made available). For example, the templates {{R1}} and {{S1}} produce {{R1}} and {{S1}}.

At the moment, that doesn't add information: however, if we could tweak the templates to deliver HTML pop-up boxes, that would be a real improvement, especially for the shorter articles. Physchim62 03:10, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Oh — that's what they're meant to do, actually. They should each produce a popup message if the mouse is held over them. ‣ᓛᖁ♀ᑐ 03:19, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

So they do, I was just too impatient to notice! Thanks, I'll try and sort out the rest of the bunch (only a couple of hundred templates to write...) Physchim62 09:43, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Regarding the carcinogens, I was wondering how IARC Group 4 ought to be categorized. Is this group notable enough to be classed under the real carcinogens, and are there chemicals in the group that should be treated as potential carcinogens? ‣ᓛᖁ♀ᑐ 01:18, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Group 4 only contains one compound at the moment (caprolactam), so it is not a major problem. I would suggest keeping it where it is until the Category Police come to bother you. In terms of article style, I would treat it in the same way as I try to treat Group 3 compounds: I read through the IARC assessment and try to summarise it and explain it with as little of my POV as possible. Group 3 contains some potential carcinogens which lack data (eg, iodomethane), and a lot of chemicals which are almost certainly not human carcinogens but nobody quite wants to say so (eg, limonene): caprolactam would need a explanation of why the IARC are fairly sure that it is not carcinogenic (otherwise no-one will believe them!).

I'm glad you like the longer version in chloroform, as I've had mostly negative comments about this style until now. The extra information will probably end up on the data pages for other articles. The safety section in the text of chloroform will also get a revamp at some point or another, given the fuss which is made about water chlorination on at least half a dozen different pages. Cheers for now, Physchim62 09:43, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Squaric acid??

Haha. Squaric acid. That's a joke, right? If it isn't then "quadratic acid" definitely is. Either way it deserves some explanation of how it got the name, presumably because it has four carbon atoms in a square? And it treats warts? I don't know what's a joke and what's not! —Keenan Pepper 05:11, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Hah, apparently it is real and it really treats warts and baldness. Still cracks me up though. Squaric acid... —Keenan Pepper 05:37, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Yep, it really does exist, I would post the structure but my molecule editor is playing up. I've never heard it called "quadratic acid", but it is true that the molecule is not a perfect square... Physchim62 08:13, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Carbon

I'm researching the propagation of information through the web and how it's exchanged to and fro the wikipedia. I have a couple of questions about the Carbon article. You edited out some paragraphs with "lots of" isotopes. Could you tell me why and if it's possible to find out the origin of the deleted material? Jclerman 21:47, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Wow, that was a long time ago. The edit summary is actually in two parts; that's "lots of — strange, meaningless text". I deleted the paragraphs below because I haven't the slightest idea what they're supposed to mean. I suppose you could try googling some of the phrases to check whether they originated from some other site. ‣ᓛᖁ♀ᑐ 22:06, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Ratios of these isotopes are reported in ? relative to the standard VPDB (Vienna Pee Dee Belemnite from the Peedee Formation of South Carolina). The dC-13 of the atmosphere is -7?. During photosynthesis, the carbon that becomes fixed in plant tissue is significantly depleted in C-13 relative to the atmosphere.

There is two mode distribution in the dC-13 values of terrestrial plants resulting from differences in the photosynthetic reaction used by the plant. Most terrestrial plants are C3 pathway plants and have dC-13 values range from -24 to -34?. A second category of plants (C4 pathway plants), composed of aquatic plants, desert plants, salt marsh plants, and tropical grasses, have dC-13 values that range from -6 to -19. An intermediate group (CAM plants) composed of algae and lichens has dC-13 values range from -12 to -23?. The dC-13 of plants and organisms can provide useful information about sources of nutrients and food web relations.

Wow, that was superfast! No wonder for somebody interested in fractals and diverse dimension measurements. Yes, I saw that you did the deletions in two steps. Now, why did I ask yuo? First: thanks for the deletion, that text contained several gross errors (if you are interested I can later describe them to you). Second: there are many, I forgot whether 100 or more pages, which appear when googling; it seems that during the period of time those paragraphs were up in the wiki, many commercial "pedias" that sell reports, books, and supplies to high school and college students copied that material. Third: I call this effect a "virus like propagation and infection" and I'm trying to determine how such gross blunder originated and whether it propagated out of the wiki or into the wiki. Sort of forensic work.

It so happens that such paragraph was my Ph.D. topic in 1974 followed by grad students for a couple of decades. In fact, one of them suggested I reviewed the isotope stuff on some websites. One of the sites quoted the wiki as source. That took me to get familiar with the wiki and to dig into the history of the articles. Regretfully the paragraphs in question in the carbon article were introduced by an "IP number"... I was hoping that you would have some "inside knowledge" about her/his/it ID...

Anyhow, after messing around in labs I changed to mess around with computer experiments related to dynamical systems and chaos. All that in order to understand applied computational neurobiology of recurrent states. If you really have CSF and similar, I'd like to discuss some aspects, either on this page, on my page, or by email. I have a theory linking Shannon's Theory to neurobiological "bandwidths" and some insight into attention and alertness behaviors. Jclerman 23:12, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Oh, interesting. WikiWatch has a fair amount to say about the viral propagation; it's curious to me as well that there are so many mirrors. One would think a single hit on Google for Wikipedia's content would be enough....

Your mention of bandwidths reminds me of this discussion of mental speed... is that similar to what you have in mind? I'd be happy to talk more; that's quite a varied collection of topics you've linked together! ^_^

‣ᓛᖁ♀ᑐ 23:37, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

You amaze me! I'll tell you later why. I'll return with comments to all of the above. I'll write off-line because this page is so popular that it is being edited frequently ;-) Jclerman 00:45, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Pardon my intrusion (I drifted to Eequor's page via the Future Studies saga. A skim of the Carbon article finds that the Vienna Pee Dee Belemnite section was introduced at this edit by a user who is still current, Maveric149 (talk · contribs). He cites the USGS as source for the isotope data: and a Google on some of the keywords finds it here, where there's further backward citation. 04:21, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Readers of your page amaze me also. Tearlach tracked down the origin of the "virus". I'll copy my reply to Terlach below. Being narcoleptic and not sychronized to circadian environments I can't predict when I can be alert enough. I'll have to defer for later the numerous other topics I was going to talk about. Meanwhile, here is the forensics info as replied to Tearlach: *Carbon forensics: Outstanding find! I hadn't gone far back enough and had assumed that the paragraph had been inserted short before its deletion. The info you found has even, in the tag line, info about the source of the paragraph. It mentions the USGS (US Geological Survey) as source. I'll do some more verifications, etc. before writing a report about "virus propagation". It now appears that the user you quote found the info in the USGS site, then lots of websites copied it, then it was deleted from the wiki but those sites keep quoting the wiki as source rather than the USGS. Now, from where did the USGS got the wrong info and why they didn't correct it since 2002? It raises interesting questions about the use of our tax dollars and the reliability/trustability of the USGS, in particular re hydrology studies. I'll try to track how such erroneous info was "created". Thanks a lot again. I'll let you know of my final assessment. It might take me some months.

Buddhism and Zen

I am sure that you are aware of this, but Zen is a type of Buddhism and not some kind of mystical, stand-alone, new age phenomenon. On your user page, you list Buddhism and Zen as two different influences. As someone who studied Buddhism in college, and who now lives in Japan, this reads to me the same as if someone were to list their influences as "Christianity, Daoism, Catholicism..." or, in a better analogy, "Islam, Daoism, Sufism...", etc. I don't in any way mean to rain on your parade. Like I mentioned, I studied Buddhism in school and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think it is great that you are taking an interest in (the philosophical tenets of) Zen. Perhaps you are interested in other schools of thought within Buddhism as well. If this is the case... list them instead of just "Buddhism"! Enlighten the average wikipedian who stumbles across your page and perhaps they will research more obscure forms of Buddhism besides Zen, which has become so popular and (sadly) philosophically corrupted in the West. It is just my two cents of course, but everytime I read something like that I feel obligated to speak up. Anyway, keep up the good (and unique) work! -Parallel or Together ? 02:46, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Oh, heh. I'm not sure now whether the duplication was intentional... but it does seem to me that Zen stands farther apart from the rest of Buddhism than the other branches do, far enough that it may not necessarily need the context of Buddhism as such. On the other hand, its separation probably did contribute a large amount to that terrible perversion of Buddhist teachings during World War II. I think the fascination with Zen in the West is strange, but hopefully Westerners will misunderstand less with time.

If you're curious, I probably feel closest to Mahayana and the bodhisattva ideal, though I prefer Theravada's views of the canon. Zen is nice for its unique way of pointing to . I'd like to learn more about Tiantai, while my dislike for esotericism will rather limit how much I can understand of Vajrayana. Pure Land and Nichiren worry me, but I don't know which of Amitabha or the Lotus Sutra disturbs me more.

Thanks for your comments! It's nice to hear from someone with your perspective. ^_^

‣ᓛᖁ♀ᑐ 03:59, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Sure, I'm happy to offer my opinions to unsuspecting wikipedians, haha. It was nice to see what 宗 you were interested in outside of 禅. My familiarity is mostly with the Japanese sects, which are almost universally Mahayana, and by extension their counterpart Chinese schools. I agree with you wholeheartedly about 浄土宗, though Shinran's 淨土眞宗 is far worse. Coming from the West, it feels too much like Christianity to me. In fact, a funny story for you - when the Jesuits first came to Japan and tried to convert Pure Land practicioners, they complained to their superiors that the Lutherans had beaten them to it. Anyway, 日蓮系諸宗派 I don't have as much of a problem with, though the extreme nationalism it is associated with is sad. I didn't much care for 真言宗, Japan's main Vajrayana school, when I was in school, although the cultural implications made it interesting to study. 天台宗, which is the Japanese evolution of China's Tiantai school, is also extremely culturally interesting. From a purely academic perspective, it was probably the single most importantant school of Buddhism to be transmitted to Japan. It spelled the end for Nara period Buddhism, as the capital was moved to modern-day Kyoto and official imperial and upper-class patronage gave Tendai great political power in addition to its inherent spiritual power. Nichiren, Zen, and Japanese forms of Esoteric and Pure Land Buddhism owe much of their success (and ideology) to early Tendai Buddhism.

I'm afraid on the issue of whether or not Zen can stand alone, outside of the context of Buddhism, we will have to just agree to disagree. Though its precepts have been widely spread in the West, it is very much traditional Buddhism. Granted, it was heavily influenced by Chinese thought, especially Taoism and, to a lesser extent, Confucianism. However, through the supposed transmission of the Dharma to Mahakasyapa (and I will have to start editing that sorry excuse for an article soon), Zen specifically and purposefully traces its lineage back to the Buddha himself. Zen is also one of the most conservative Buddhist schools, with a strict focus on hierarchy in the form of the master-disciple relationship and an especially difficult set of practices outside of the well-known koan, such as daily chores and zazen (which is extremely difficult to do correctly for any significant period time). And though Zen may have a disdain for the study of the written word, it is still tied to Buddhist texts to a large degree. Of course, in common usage of the term "Zen," especially in the West, I can see how linguistically it no longer implies (or needs) Buddhism. I just disagree with that usage of the word I guess. But like (sorry pinyin, I don't like you) Chaung Tzu said, "We cling to our own point of view, as though everything depended on it. Yet our opinions have no permanence; like autumn and winter, they gradually pass away." If you want to discuss more though, this is interesting to me. -Parallel or Together ? 09:44, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

I was thinking of it more from the "don't make thoughts, only sit" angle — as befits the name, Zen seems to have the purest distillation of dhyana among the Buddhist schools and the most direct approach to realizing emptiness. That's what sets it apart, to me; it seems as though Bodhidharma and his students have inverted the common portrayal of the Eightfold Path, with samadhi, dhyana, and sati of foremost importance; and with views and thought, in accordance with Taoism, becoming somewhat arbitrary or even barriers. Ideally it should be able to attain its goals without preconceptions of dharma, though in practice its record has been the worst. ‣ᓛᖁ♀ᑐ 23:48, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Radix Economy

What is Radix economy? Please explain or start the article radix economy, which you link to in Base 36.

Karl Palmen 9 December 09:30 UT

Radix economy is the efficiency of expressing a number in a particular base. The economy for any particular number in a given base is equal to the number of digits needed to express it in that base, multiplied by the radix. For example, 1100100₂ (100) has radix economy 7×2 = 14, while in base 3 100 is written 10201₃, with an economy of 15. The decimal representation has an economy of 30 (larger numbers are worse), and the economy of 2s₃₆ is 72. In general, base 3 is the most economic of any base, followed by binary and base 4. This would theoretically allow computers to be significantly more powerful if they used ternary, but considerable development would be needed to reach the processing power of modern binary hardware. ‣ᓛᖁ♀ᑐ 10:50, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Hey!

Hi Eequor! :D, thank you for your kindness about my problem. hey, I wanted to ask you something, what does Dzogchen feel like? I know it's hard to explain, but how does it feel compared to other states of mind? thank you. :) --Cosmic girl 16:22, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi! You're welcome. ^_^

Actually I don't really know much about Dzogchen — I don't follow Tibetan Buddhism. From our article, though, it sounds like something I've experienced before, which I've called satori (a Zen term). They may be the same.

Whatever the state is, it's of course very hard to explain. If it was easy to explain, everyone would know about it by now and we wouldn't need so many different ways of pointing at the moon. But, from what I know:

• There are different degrees of this state. A Zen term for some of the lesser degrees is kensho. There are almost certainly higher degrees beyond what I've experienced, and I suspect there are some beyond what Gautama Buddha experienced.
• The essential truth of Buddhism becomes crystal clear in states beyond kensho. Before my satori experience I'd developed my own philosophy that turned out to closely resemble Buddhism; that may have helped.
• Kensho doesn't really help one to gain insight; it's just a glimpse of the higher states. It gives a sense of touching something profound, though, and it's a nice experience for the short time that it lasts.
• The first paragraph of Dzogchen is essentially correct. The rest of that article will mostly not help one to understand the state.
• [1] is the best description of the state that I know of. A particularly good quote is:

...in Satori there is always what we may call a sense of the Beyond; the experience indeed is my own but I feel it to be rooted elsewhere. The individual shell in which my personality is so solidly encased explodes at the moment of Satori.

• that is, it feels like one's awareness is somehow "somewhere else" and detached from one's body.
• I suspect Kundalini syndrome is caused by experiencing this state and not understanding it at all.

Unfortunately I don't know a reliable way of reaching this state, nor how to help others find it. I'd suggest reading Nagarjuna's Mulamadhyamakakarika, the Heart Sutra, and anything on Access to Insight, particularly the Kalama Sutta [2] [3], the Satipatthana Sutta [4], and the Aggi-Vacchagotta Sutta [5]. ‣ᓛᖁᑐ 17:25, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

thank you! :D.--Cosmic girl 20:56, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

I know this is kinda weird responding to one person's question on another person's Talk page, but here's my input. First of all, the Dzogchen page is severly lacking. I have a collection of books on the subject and I hope to sit down and do a rewrite someday, but I also have a vision of rewriting the Buddhism page, and that just seems like a nice idea. The page has no mention Tögel or Trekchu (spellings are wrong, sorry) which are the actually practices of Dzogchen and the descriptions of the practices are pretty weak. As is common to the Nyingma tradition, the best way to learn and understand Dzogchen is with a qualified teacher who can "point out" the state of Dzogchen. As for what it feels like, all I can say is what my Lama always said to me: "You want to know what the experience of enlightenment is? Before enlightenment: you chop wood and carry water. After englightenment: you chop wood and carry water." He always was a crazy yogi. Csbodine 16:58, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

*nod*

There's a Zen saying a lot like that... "Before we study Zen, the mountains are mountains and the rivers are rivers. While we are studying Zen, however, the mountains are no longer mountains and the rivers are no longer rivers. But then, when our study of Zen is completed, the mountains are once again mountains and the rivers once again rivers." ‣ᓛᖁᑐ 17:33, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Exactly. "Its not the spoon that bends, its only yourself." Csbodine 17:38, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

That's great... I haven't ever studied budhism, but I have undergone MAJOR self introspection and meditation (but not traditional meditation, but a very personal one in which I only reflect...well I guess I should call it reflection then... haha). and I see what your Lamas mean! I have undergone that!... before I started to reflect I saw 'mountains as mountains and rivers as rivers' when I was in my period of reflecion everything changed and seemed really diferent because I'd never pondered anything before and it felt unusual...but then, when I finally felt the unswers... things are the way they where before, but with this weird understanding...that prbably isn't enlightenment but it's something...--Cosmic girl 05:16, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Participant alert regarding Wikiproject on Advertising

The Wikiproject No Ads, created as a backlash against the Answers.com deal, has served an important function in providing a space for users to express their disagreement with the Foundation proposal. While the current controversies about userboxes raise questions about political and social advocacy on Wikipedia, there should be greater flexibility regarding advocacy about Wikipedia in the Wikipedia namespace. Reported and linked by Slashdot and other press sources as a unique and spontaneous occurence in Wikipedia history, it has apparently had some impact as, despite being scheduled to begin in January, not a peep has been heard about the trial and proposed sponsored link since the deal's controversial announcement months ago. Currently, however, there is an attempt to delete the project or move it off Wikipedia altogether. Since the Foundation has provided no additional information and has not attempted to answer the specific questions that participants in the project raised, it is unclear if the Answers.com deal has been abandoned or simply delayed. Until the situation becomes more clear, I believe the group should still have a place in the Wikipedia namespace. Sincerely, Tfine80 23:58, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm trying to discern what degree of legitimacy the items in the workshop could later be see to have. I'm particularly concerned about potential chilling effects that could come out of the mess — Wikipedia:User page is not policy now, but could it be strengthened?

The best thing you or anybody could do with the arbcom in its current state is treat it like Abbie Hoffman would: treat it like the joke it is.

Edits by --Michael C. Price on Afshar experiment page

• Dear Eequor, --Michael C. Price insists on using unsubstantiated claims without proper references on the article page. Regardless of the nature of his claims, I have requested that he does so, but instead he has produced at best irrelevant quotes from non-peer-reviewed sources. His edit follows:

Though Afshar's work is still the subject of ongoing interpretation and discussion, a significant portion of the scientific community is of the opinion that Afshar's experiment does not refute complementarity.

Some general criticisms are:

Bohr's philosophical views on the Complementarity Principle are generally seen in accordance with the Schrodinger wave equation. Since the latter is obeyed in Afshar's experiment it is not obvious how complementarity can be violated.

The modern understanding of quantum decoherence and its destruction of quantum interference provides a mechanism for understanding the appearance of wavefunction collapse and the transition from quantum to classical. As such there is no need, in the decoherence view, for an a priori introduction of a classical-quantum divide as enshrined by complementarity. Any experiment that claims to violate complementarity needs to address this issue.

As Michael claims, those statments are supposedly "popular views" that preexisted my experiment, and as such must be present in peer-reviewed publication predating my work. All I have asked him to do is to provide such valid ref.s but he has persistently avoided doing so and instead engaged in personal attacks. He seems to have a lot of time on his hands to be on Wikipeida constatntly, but I don't. This is turning to oneupmanship, and I don't have time for such antcis. Maybe he would heed your request. Thanks!-- Prof. Afshar 13:51, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

P.S. I will be discussing this issue with Michael Price on the article talk page, and would highly appreciate if you could monitor our discussion and interject when you deem fit. I'm afraid it might get a little testy, as Michael has been persistent on personal attacks. Thanks very much for your help. Best regards.-- Prof. Afshar 17:02, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:A(namorphic) clockwork orange.png

Image:A(namorphic) clockwork orange.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

File source problem with File:Psi (large).png

Thank you for uploading File:Psi (large).png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:37, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)

Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization consisting of over 28,000 volunteers in more than 100 countries. The collaboration was formed to organize medical scholarship in a systematic way in the interests of evidence-based research: the group conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.

Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account. Thank you Cochrane!

If you are stil active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)

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.

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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Outdoors

A tag has been placed on Outdoors requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either

• disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
• disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

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 page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
