Your images
I noticed some of your images have labels hardcoded in the image - do you have the originals without labels, so that they can be altered or translated? —Random832 20:14, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

TU Braunschweig & DIBt
Moin! I moved the article from Technical University at Brunswick to Technical University of Braunschweig in accordance with the naming conventions for universities recommended at WikiProject Germany. This is because these names are usually the common English names for the schools. For the Braunschweig school, it fits the "School of city" styling; arguably, it could even be moved from Technical University of Braunschweig to simply University of Braunschweig. The Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik, however, would not meet the criteria recommended in the naming conventions. It is not definitively known by its association with Berlin, and it does not have a predominantly accepted English translation. Therefore, I agree it is best kept at its official title.

Joint (building)
For starters, there are far too many images relative to the amount of text, and the content is not supported by reliable third party publications. Coccyx Bloccyx (talk) 20:10, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Elkman
Hi Elkman! I will insert my answers in italics next to your questions.


 * I noticed you had a question on Joint (building). I haven't had enough time to deal with my requests lately, but I took a quick look at the article.   There are several external links noted.  Did you use those links as sources for the article? If not, what did you use for sources?
 * I have been in the firestop business since the early eighties and I know the subject matter without requiring outside sources to direct me. I located the outside sources to corroborate what I already knew and it matched.


 * I imagine there are engineering texts and magazine article about building joints, and I'm sure you read them for your work.
 * Yes. I wrote some of them. I have formulated products to seal joints. I have fire tested them successfully, licensed off some of this technology and the products are being actively traded in the marketplace right now. I have also made a living of contracting the work, as in having tendered, secured and executed this sub-contract work on construction sites in Europe and North America. I can tell you how much a lineal foot of joint sells for and what it costs to put it in. I have also had products specified by architects so that I could tender the work based on my products. I have also instructed installers on the proper installation techniques for this work. I have also worked on governmental specifications and regulations in this realm. So, I don't need others to tell me about this as I know it like the back of my hand. Still, since it's all about verifiability, I have sought, found and inserted appropriate references. I don't get what else could be cited where in this because if one actually takes the time to look at the referenced material to the point of comprehension, no questions remain. I looked through the text and could not find what else would need back-up without having it look ridiculous.
 * Basically, I think the article would be more useful if the sources were cited inline. On the other hand,  is inserting tags and leaving vague messages about the disagreements he has about content, without providing any sound reasoning as to what could be improved.  I don't think the cleanup tag belongs on there at all.--Elkman (Elkspeak) 05:12, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * ''That is why I put in for a medcab case, since I did not have a response from you and one other admin I asked about it. The article was reviewed by yourself as well as at least one other admin. The delete nominator is simply refusing to state what specifically he thinks requires further back-up. We have a parallel treatise from Underwriters Laboratories, we have no shortage of peer-reviewed Wiki-internal hyperlinks, we have links to manufacturers selling products that fit the bill and we have a subject-related certification listing issued by UL too. We also have a commons gallery that shows what this looks like and we have a report on a real fire, where they did not to this right and it caused a big problem. All these sources are bona fide, reliable, third-party information that I certainly did not invent. What else could you possibly add to the existing over-kill?? What is most troubling to me is the behaviour of the unsuccessful nominator here. There must be a pattern here. He not only wiped out the questions I asked but also those of someone else who took issue with his behaviour. There are more procedures on Wiki than you can shake a stick at and I find it confusing and tedious to make sense of it all. That is why I asked for help and I appreciate the time you took to look into the matter. Any further assistance would be appreciated. --Achim (talk) 00:58, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

After discussion with the other user who was mediating, I've decided to open this case. I'm just letting you know that I've accepted it, and I am reviewing the arguments and articles related to this case. As with all the disputes I mediate, I just want to lay down a simple ground rule, as I won't mediate a case if they don't occur. Civility is a must. I can't tolerate incivility. It's just how I do things. I know this mediation has been rather civil so far, it's just something I say as standard.

Other than that, I hope to help mediate the discussion, so a consensus can be established between both of you. Kindest regards, Steve Crossin (talk) (review) 03:56, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi Ahering@cogeco.ca,

I think you are correct that as long as does not violate any copyrights it can be potentially added. On the other hand, I believe images need to be notable in some sense to merit inclusion; since there are many images on topics like this. Historically notable images could possibly add something of encyclopedic value to the article.

This is my understanding of how things should be. If you are of a different opinion, we should request for comment WP:RFC on this.

Cheers, --Be happy!! (talk) 09:34, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

No need to fret. I think the noability deal is meant for the whole article. I have written beaucoup stuff on fire protection and the pix aren't famous per se, but descriptive of the topic, which was the intent. That's why commons exists. --Achim (talk) 21:45, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Funny pix
Quoting from Image use policy: "Images with you, friends or family prominently featured in a way that distracts from the image topic are not recommended for the main namespace; User pages are OK. These images are considered self-promotion and the Wikipedia community has repeatedly reached consensus to delete such images."

Hallway insulation
Hi!

I'd like to do some contrast/brightness/gamma correction on Image:Hallway_insulation.jpg. If you still have the original photos, could you mail them to me? I have also mailed you at ahering@cogeco.ca, but if that doesn't get through to you, you can just mail me a better address. --Slashme (talk) 12:26, 22 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Hello!
 * You should be able to just pull the jpg into an editing program and adjust that, if you would like. I scanned it in at at least 600dpi. I don't recall seeing your e-mail, but then I delete a lot of stuff I don't recognise, unless the subject line is fairly poignant, such as if it contains the word Wikipedia. Have you tried to just edit the file? --Achim (talk) 20:49, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

The problem is that the picture on Wikimedia already has arrows on it, which will make the graphics editing harder. As for the email not going through, I got a "not delivered" error message. Maybe I typed it wrong? I'll check. --Slashme (talk) 10:18, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Smoke and heat extraction interwiki
hi,

I have linked the english page Heat and smoke vent and the german page Rauch- und Wärmeabzug. As I am not fully aware of the terms used in Amerika I would be happy if someone at home in both worlds could have a look at this. I think the article on Smoke exhaust ductwork would also fit to the german scope of RWA. As you seem to be at home in Canada, I wonder if you have access to the french terms used in the subject and could search for more potential interwiki links. Also as these systems do not actively fight the fire nor hinder the fire from starting or spreading (opinions may differ on the last point) they do not really fit to AFP or PFP, rather they help in firefighting and secure evacuating of buildings. Maybe we need a category for such systems, including things like save evacuation paths, evacuation information systems, smoke and toxic gas management, clear access and aiding for effective fire fighting, controlling the development of a fire once it has started. thanks in advance --T.woelk (talk) 13:06, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Hallo,

mit französisch bin ich nicht so bewandert. Im englischen Wiki differenzieren wir zwischen den Rauchabzugsklappen im Dach und den zulassungspflichtigen Schächten, geprüft nach ETK/DIN4102 etc. Die auslösende Elektronik ist natürlich auch ein Teil einer gesamten Anlage. Dies ist allerdings nicht im englischen Wiki behandelt. In Nord Amerika sind diese Anlagen allerdings nicht vorgeschrieben oder angesagt. In der BRD insbesondere scheint der passive Brandschutz noch die Überhand zu haben. Hierzulande gewinnt allerdings der aktive Brandschutz. Mehr darüber kannst Du hier lesen. In der Welt der Sprinkler, ist Rauch kein Thema, da man aus kommerziell motivierten Gründen lieber davon ausgeht, daß solange alles gesprinklert ist, nichts mehr schiefgehen kann. Das sollte man so sehen, wie die Weisung in Chernobyl, wo niemand während der Entwurfs- oder Bauphase eine Betonhaube rechtfertigen konnte, weil man sonst zugeben müsste, daß der sozialistische Reaktor eventuell mal ein Problemchen haben könnte. Ähnlich ist das hier. Rauchabzugsschächte mit Brandraten, vernünftig geprüft und nach gültigen Zulassungen eingebaut sind von der Bauvorschrift her in Nord Amerika nicht gefordert und werden daher nicht eingebaut. Was man hier an zugelassenen Schächten doch sieht, sind Küchenabzüge und Luftüberdruckschächte, damit Frischluft in Treppenhäuser, Operationssääle, etc. geblasen wird. Auch dies wurde die längste Zeit mit Neandertalmethoden gemacht, bis man hier ISO 6944 Prüfmethoden einsetzte, durch den Einstieg von DuraSteel in Kanada. Dann wurde der hiesige Klumpatsch übernacht illegal. Rauchabzug gemäß BS476 findet man wohl in England und in machen vorherigen Kolonien Englands, aber nicht in Nord Amerika. So haben wir auch keinen englischen Wiki Artikel über die gesamte Anlage, welches Sinn macht, sondern nur über die Schächte und die Dachklappen. Der RWA Artikel ist über die gesamte Anlage, passt aber nur teilweise auf die englischen Artikel, wo es um Dachklappen und Schächte mit Brandrate geht. Die beste Strategie wäre also wahrscheinlich einen ausführlicheren deutschen Artikel zu haben, der erwähnt, das Schächte mit Brandrate und Dachklappen mit zum System gehören können. Mehr Arbeit, aber so würde es eher stimmen. --Achim (talk) 06:18, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Hello Ahering, sorry you are so busy in your real life, there are a lot of good articles which need rescuing by adding references.
 * Sorry I didn't respond earlier, unfortunately I have been in a major edit war at Business Plot, which includes Talk:Business Plot, with editors who have removed over a thousand well referenced words each. Because of events stemming from this, I got booted for 3 hours, and was unable to respond.
 * The amount of effort to save anything on wikipedia is completely disporportianal to those who want something kept, as opposed to those who want something deleted. After 4 years here, I have yet to find a quick and easy solution to countering such disruptive behavior.
 * Hundreds of hours maybe invested referencing an article (like in the case of Business Plot) in an attempt to make the article the best reference on the web, but all it takes is less than two hours for two like minded editors, to delete dozens of references and over a thousand words of references, that is why I have an Talk:Business Plot open about this disruptive and destructive behavior.
 * Hope you can find sometime in the future to join WP:Article Rescue Squadron, I find actively helping retain new editors, frustrated from their hard work being deleted, is the most rewarding and satisfying task I have ever done on wikipedia. Ikip (talk) 04:17, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Re: File:Cu_pipe_leonard.jpg Pic for Copper page
Thanks for note. I'm glad you understood the possible motives behind removal of that picture and that we all acted in good faith. I do understand your arguments, but there are so many variables here (i) Element articles are aimed at students, not professionals, thus we do our best to make them clearer - what you said about actual fitting is not evident to a newcomer. (ii) Whenever possible, we try to keep a picture which is clear both in thumb and full view (iii) We try to avoid identifiable people in pictures as much as possible. Your mentioning Mr. XXX at my talk would mean he agreed to this picture being released into the public domain and his name mentioned. Not to scare you, but please do take this issue seriously (in general, leaking personal information on WP without approval is reflected in WP:Outing and is a potentially serious offense). If not sure, please delete the name from your post. If sure this shouldn't happen, ask an administrator and he/she will erase that so that ordinary users can not recover that edit. Cheers. Materialscientist (talk) 00:43, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Agree that your picture is more realistic, but I and many might not be happy with having a person there. Agree that WP shouldn't target any category, but. It should be understood by as many people as possible - that what I meant by "students". For record, there are no "page owners" on WP, off record, copper is not "my" article, but, I try to watch and contribute to every elements article. Off course "a good picture is worth a 1000 words", but a picture and 1000 words would be much better - i.e. lets get to work and improve WP. Materialscientist (talk) 03:46, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning

Re: Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning
Hey Ahering,

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner but I rarely log in and I didn't receive any emails that there was a problem.

It looks like you guys took out a lot of pertinent information on the current state of the industry. Anything that was removed that referenced Phil Ackland should be put back as he is considered the foremost authority on kitchen exhaust cleaning around the world.

Saying that there are only two processes to clean exhaust system is also incorrect. With current advancements in the industry there are several processes that can be used including downstream chemical injection, upstream chemical injection, foaming, spray tanks, garden type sprayers etc.

The reason I took you pictures off is they looked like they were taken with a poloroid and scanned in and I didn't feel like they fit well with the article.

Taking links out to Phil Ackland and The Grease Police is also incorrect, these are both organizations that have helped to further this industry. I saw somewhere that they were labeled as spam but thats like saying that a link on a software webpage to Microsoft's site is spam.

You guys do whatever you feel is right but the page that was up had no links to any spam, and the Boston Fire link that was removed was a huge occurrence in our industry and it was directly related to shoddy workmanship in the kitchen exhaust cleaning field and has even led to strict enforcement of kitchen exhaust cleaners in Boston. http://www.ikeca-boston.org/

Take care and sorry if I didnt follow the right guidelines.

Transglutaminase
The external link you added to transglutaminase is not helpful. This is essentially a blog post, the content of which relies heavily on... the Wikipedia article to which you added the link! Despite the allegations of "Frankenstein food", there are no significant safety concerns over transglutaminase. It is definitely not the first enzyme used in cooking and preparing food - cheese manufacture started when humans used enzymes from cow's stomach lining to coagulate milk, and we use yeast enzymes to make bread rise! If you are particularly keen on introducing this into the article, perhaps some slightly better sources provided as references would be better. How about we take this to Talk:Transglutaminase? I think a lot of confusion has arisen because another kind of "meat glue", namely thrombin, has been banned in the EU because of actual safety concerns. JFW &#124; T@lk  17:09, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
