 * Hi, Python Drink! I have gotten huge amounts of information from Wikipedia over the years, I think it's an amazing resource and I want to spend some of my time helping to maintain it. 20WattSphere (talk) 00:13, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

To-do list

 * improve Agriculture in Australia
 * think about Automated journalism
 * think about improving Electricity market to communicate the technical subject matter more accessibly

DYK?
Did you know that your brain consumes about 20 watts of power? Pincrete (talk) 09:45, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

The above post wasn't just a wiki-joke, I was genuinely puzzled by who and how anyone would calculate such a thing. I was already aware that the human brain produces relatively large amounts of heat (more heat than light perhaps) - and all sorts of odd factoids resulting from that (supposedly if our bodies had remained hairy all over, we would have been incapable of shedding sufficient 'brain heat' and would have fried our own brains - I know the feeling).

I also have an odd mixture of practical experience and scientific ignorance, so I was perfectly happy dealing with BTUs and Therms when dealing with boilers and radiators and suchlike, but baffled since they started referring to these things in watts, since in my personal 15WattSphere, watts are electrical units!

I presume someone has calculated the heat output of a human brain and rendered it as watts?Pincrete (talk) 09:41, 29 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Ah! Sorry, I misinterpreted you - someone else was complaining to me about citations at the time so I thought it may have been a reference to that.
 * I've done some googling since I honestly had no idea. Here is a brief article I found - it doesn't have the precise figure, but explains how they track chemical processes using Magnetic resonance imaging. Fascinating stuff.
 * That's interesting that you have experience with industrial equipment. I barely have any practical skills at all, it feels very isolated from the real world up in my ivory tower. Must be fun playing with such big toys! 20WattSphere (talk) 09:56, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
 * By the way - sympathise with the challenge of converting everything to metric. One hint is that a watt is actually a speed of energy use - 1 watt being equal to 1 joule consumed each second. Checking out the link you posted, 1 Therm is around 105MJ, so if your brain is consuming 20 watts, it will take 105M/20 = 5 million seconds to use 1 Therm. 20WattSphere (talk) 10:03, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Moroccanoil


The article Moroccanoil has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "This article aggressively leads with it being an Israeli company based in Te Acuv, when the sources don't explicitly mention Tel Aviv. A basic web crawling search doesn't reveal that the company is Israeli, and all the sources cited were created within the past few weeks, despite Moroccanoil having sponsored Eurovision got over four years. It comes across as very sketchy and politically driven to me, given the nature of Eurovision this year. Frankly, I don't think there are enough sources for this article and I don't think the sources that do exist are provide enough information to directly trace the company to Israel, since the company itself isn't making this claim."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the 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 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.

''' This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. ''' Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Or-Shalem (talk) 18:47, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
