Dead links
Thanks for looking after a variety of things. In case you didn't know about it, the dead link template can be used to mark dead links. In the specific case of Plants for a Future, the pages seem to still exist, just under a different URL, for example. Kingdon (talk) 17:45, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Tables
I never claimed that sortable was less useful than formatting headings but Koopatrev asked how to use colspan and rowspan so that was the question I answered and I was suggesting that getting that right before trying to make a table sortable was a good idea. NtheP (talk) 16:04, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

High versus low resistance
Hello, Uporządnicki/AzseicsoK. I saw your message at Talk:Joule heating, and I thought I would try to make things a little clearer. Whether what I am going to say will do that or not, I don't know, but I hope so. Before saying anything else, though, I will point out that the talk page of an article is for discussion relating to editing the article, not for asking general questions about the subject of the article, and the right place for such general questions is Reference desk, in this case specifically Reference desk/Science. If what I say is not helpful enough, you may like to try asking there. However, for now I am moving your question from Talk:Joule heating to this page, and attempting to answer it here. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:08, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

For many years, I've puzzled over a paradox; I've looked at this and other articles in Wikipedia several times over the past couple of years, hoping it would be addressed.

The article starts by saying that electric current moves through a resistance and generates heat; you can read that in a thousand places, and every scientifically minded school kid knows it. But now, here's the difficulty. We have Q = I2R. Increase the resistance R while keeping the current I the same, and the heat produced, Q (in a perfect system of course) will increase proportionally to R.

But in most situations--virtually any household situation, for example--things are provided a more or less constant voltage. So by Ohm's law, when you increase the resistance R, the current I decreases proportionally. Conversely, decrease R, and you increase I. But then, while the heat produced Q changes with the resistance R, it changes with the SQUARE of the current I.

The upshot is, as you increase the resistance in a typical application, you decrease the heat produced. And as you decrease the resistance, you increase the heat. So in a typical plug-in appliance with a heating element, a LOWER resistance should produce MORE heat.

This seems to fly in the face of the idea that the current flows through the resistance and produces heat.

Puzzling through this question, I do start to think that if the resistance of the heating element starts to get comparable to the resistance of whatever is supplying the voltage (and it must have some; typically, the electricity will come through wires, which have SOME small resistance), then the whole system would break down. I wonder if that is the answer to this conundrum.

I keep hoping I'll find it explained somewhere. Uporządnicki (talk) 03:09, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) Certainly a lower resistance produces more heat. Try unplugging an electric kettle. How much resistance is there now between the two terminals in the plug outlet, which are connected by the air? Answer: a huge resistance, virtually infinite. How much heat is produced? Answer: virtually none. Now plug the kettle in, so that the terminals are connected through the kettle's circuitry, which will have a much lower resistance than the air. A significant amount of heat will be produced. When I was a schoolboy, in a physics lesson I once tried connecting the terminals of a Daniel cell with a piece of copper wire, which would have very little resistance at all. I can promise you that it produced an ENORMOUS amount of heat, and I was lucky not to seriously burn myself. Less resistance does give more heat, without a doubt.
 * 2) You say that this "seems to fly in the face of the idea that the current flows through the resistance and produces heat". However, the point is that, as you yourself pointed out, with more resistance you get less current (assuming constant voltage), and the drop in heat due to that drop in current is more than enough to counteract the increase in current due to the increase in resistance.
 * 3) You raise the question of what happens if "resistance of the heating element starts to get comparable to the resistance of whatever is supplying the voltage". If a circuit is attached to a power supply, and the resistance of the circuit drops down so low that it is equal to the resistance of the power supply, then the same amount of heat will be dissipated in the circuit and in the power supply. Typically, this will be an enormous amount of heat, and it may well be enough to completely burn out the power supply (depending, of course, on the particular power supply). The voltage will also be equally divided between the external circuit and the internal resistance of the power supply, so that the voltage applied to the external circuit will be half of what it was with a higher external circuit resistance, but it will still be enough to generate a lot of heat. If you go further still, and reduce the external circuit resistance to less than the internal resistance of the power supply, then most of the voltage will be used in pushing current through the power supply's internal resistance, only a minority of the voltage will be provided to the external circuit, and the amount of heat generated in the external circuit will drop as the resistance increases, but the amount of heat generated inside the power supply will continue to increase. Eventually, if you reduce the external resistance to zero (e.g. connect the power supply terminals directly together) then no heat at all will be produced in the external circuit, but a hell of a lot of heat will be generated in the power supply resistance. In fact, something very much like that happened in my rather stupid experiment with the Daniel cell: both the wire I connected and the cell itself got extremely hot. In fact, if the hot wire hadn't burnt my fingers and made me drop it within a fraction of a second, the cell would probably have produced so much heat that it would have exploded. If that had happened, I would have almost certainly been either dead or seriously disfigured for life. To summarise: (1) as far as the total amount of heat generated is concerned, the less resistance you have, the more heat you will get; (2) as far as the amount of heat generated in the external circuit is concerned, ignoring heat generated inside the power supply, the amount of heat will be a maximum if the external resistance is equal to the power supply's internal resistance, and will decrease as the external resistance moves away from that value, either by increasing or decreasing.

Alphabetic order for hybrids
Hi, I saw your useful work improving the categorization of some plant articles. For future reference, the hybrid sign (×) is to some degree optional in the names of species: very long established hybrids are usually treated as "good" species. Forms with and without the × are exactly the same name under the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants. Hence it's conventional in botanical works to sort alphabetically based solely on the epithet. So Agave × arizonica, for example, should be sorted alphabetically as if it were Agave arizonica.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 02:23, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Spider genera
Great work categorizing spider genera! Please note that when a monotypic genus, like Sonoita, has to be at the species name because of disambiguation (see WP:MONOTYPICFAUNA), categories related to the genus are placed on the redirect. Sonoita lightfooti is not a "monotypic genus", so shouldn't be categorized as such. Peter coxhead (talk) 08:09, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!
Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

List of Washington Metro stations
The silver line stations *were* added in a logical order: Alphabetical. The only reason that they don't look that way is that Loudon Gateway was formerly Route 606 station. Having said that, the logical order is probably *completely* alphabetical including Potomac Yard.Naraht (talk) 15:11, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
 * But then, what about Ashburn? Anyway, I've put the Silver Line stations in their order of running outbound; then, since--conveniently--the Potomac Yards station is slated to open later than the Silver Line ones, I've tacked that at the end. Uporządnicki (talk) 15:23, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Oh, I dug back and found it. Ashburn was originally Route 722.  Anyway, you have a point.  The existing stations are listed alphabetically, so these should be, too.  I'll probably go in and change it when I'm not at work (unless someone else gets to it first--in which case I won't object!). Uporządnicki (talk) 15:58, 4 May 2020 (UTC)


 * I'm going to lunch and then I'm off for a while. Have fun. Remember Wikipedia doesn't have deadlines. :)Naraht (talk) 16:00, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 21
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of Antirrhinum species, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Section ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/List_of_Antirrhinum_species check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/List_of_Antirrhinum_species?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hyper-active editors
I have concerns about editors who take it upon themselves to 'fix' hundreds of articles. This includes my recent query at Teahouse about an editor truncating school articles, and also my own efforts at editing (improving?) nutrition and dietary supplement articles, the foundation being my university and career history. All I can say is good faith is good faith, and not to 'own' articles (even those one raised to GA). Happy editing. David notMD (talk) 11:48, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
 * @user:David notMD, I'm not at all clear what point you're trying to make by posting this comment here on my talk page. First thought is, could it have to do with all the categorization work I've done over the years--but I doubt that.  Since that doesn't involve anything substantive, only organizational, I can't see anyone having a reasonable problem with it.  Is it a personal response to some comment I've made somewhere? Uporządnicki (talk) 12:30, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
 * @user:David notMD, Oh. Now I see your post at the Teahouse about Overly Aggressive Deleting.  I guess your comment here refers to that.  But I'm still puzzled why you decided to message me individually about it. Uporządnicki (talk) 12:55, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I thought you had written "I have discovered literally many thousands of articles (mostly on species) for which the categorization could be improved--or was out of date, or just plain wrong." and so was commenting to you about high activity editors (including myself). No intent to imply that your actions were/are out of line. David notMD (talk) 13:36, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
 * @user:David notMD Yeah, I did write that. It's 99+% of what I've done here in Wikipedia.  I know it's been many thousands.  I recently went through a category in which most of the articles belonged in subcategories that were already set up--but nobody had moved them.  I moved things into their subcategories and reduced the main category from well over 4000 articles to a couple of hundred.  And I've done a fair number of projects of similar size, and countless smaller ones.  OK, so that's why you decided to share your thoughts. Uporządnicki (talk) 14:13, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Took me a couple of minutes, but I found it. I wrote it here: Teahouse.

Don’t WP:BITE twice
I think that edit was a bit over the top. Yes, the asker is young / rash / impolite / whatever, so your initial dress-down was justified; but I do not see the need to come back for a second serving. Tigraan Click here for my talk page ("private" contact) 17:06, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Invitation to join New pages patrol
Hello AzseicsoK! Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 15:20, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
 * We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
 * Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
 * Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
 * If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Ivesia

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz Read! Talk! 15:34, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
