Deleted link
If my link was deleted then how come the link for "All you need to know about Forex trading" is still there? To my knowledge, that link is also promoting their service. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.5.178.93 (talk) 16:28, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Removal of link
Hello, this is Ikanweb. I've got your message about the removal of our entry in the tools chapter of the Extract, transform, load article. I agree that your action is valid, since all companies were using the article for advertisement. I much appreciate your thoroughly cleaning of all the listed companies. Often contributers would remove a new link because it is invalid yet they do not remove the older existing -allthough also invalid- links.

History of Seismology deletion
Hi Dawnseeker2000 Could you contact me directly: Philip.Sutton@green-innovations.asn.au

I just put in about 4 or more hours putting the seismology history section together. So I'm a bit sad to see all my effort gone to naught. I understand the copyright issue (I probably wasn't sensitive enough to it) but I didn't "just copy and past" a slab from another source. I put quite some effort into selecting key historical developments (out of a much larger sample) and I didn't use only one source and I did do a bit of customising of the wording. Quite a bit of what I was doing was linking scattered material already on Wikipedia so that the reader could get an historical overview. Why did I do it? Because I needed an historical overview of seismology and I couldn't find it on Wikipedia.

Is there anyone lurking out there in Wikipedia land who could take what I've done and work it over to get rid of the copyright problems? Philip Sutton (talk) 18:05, 21 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi, Yes there are a number of editors that are working within WikiProject Earthquakes and WikiProject Geology these days. I'm working on far too many articles at the moment to be of any immediate help, but monitoring my watchlist is a continual activity and copyright issues are one thing that needs watching for. Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that the whole kit and caboodle was copied, but since there was at least one whole sentence copied word for word, the easiest and most sure way to resolve the issue was to remove the new addition altogether. It does take quite a bit of work to paraphrase sources to capture what's being said without duplicating text. I do quite a bit of that and so I'm in tune when I see large amounts of text inserted into the articles.


 * I would say go through your material, especially your sources, and double-check to make absolutely sure that there are no verbatim sentences or even what we call "close paraphrasing" (a portion of a sentence, or even a short string of words). Then re-add it, making sure to attribute each paragraph with a reliable source. It will be a lot of work, but it will be worth it. Dawnseeker2000   18:51, 21 January 2013 (UTC)


 * I've had a go at cleaning up the section copyright-wise. I think it should be OK now.  With a history core there it should be easier for people to now add to and refine what I've done. Philip Sutton (talk) 12:40, 22 January 2013 (UTC))

Radiant Barrier
Im having trouble understanding where your information regarding savings comes from. Mine comes from expertise in the industry, customer satisfaction surveys, etc. the savings should actually be listed in percentages; dollar amounts are extremely inaccurate as there are extreme variants in energy costs not only from region to region but within different counties as well. Customers in the deep south generally save in excess of 20% as a rule of thumb; 12 to 16% in colder climes. Also, traditional radiant barrier foil products work better with "moister" heat. Using your current methodology is not at all accurate and is extremely confusing; I did my best to help by using average bills in the areas listed multiplied by the average savings percentages

 * I restored the figures closer to what the reference from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory says. Anything that you add to WP needs to be referenced; your values were many multiples of those existing figures. Dawnseeker2000   03:47, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

LCD matrix display
Hi Dawnseeker2000, thank you for your statement. I did the change because the 'D' in 'LCD' stands already for 'display', so the term 'LCD-display' says 'Liquid crystal display display'. Of course, if you still want to keep it I will not object, but it appears a bit unprofessional to me to say 'LCD display'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.208.83.89 (talk) 13:10, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

Blue And Dead - BAD TLA for Blue Screen of Death
BAD was/is (though BAD's are not so common an occurrence with current Windows OS's) a popular euphemism for "Blue and Dead". The colloquial vernacular was part of the computing culture's lexicon, particularly in the mid 1990's when WINDOWS was also a well known acronym for Will Install Needless Data Over Whole System. (MacIntosh - Most Ap's Crash If Not The System Hangs) Cries of anguish were accompanied by "The system is BAD, again!" when Windows hung, particularly in software development programming environments.

Similar to saying "oops" in a medical surgery theatre, management did not want end users and potential customers hearing that! (Microsoft wasn't so thrilled either and tried discouraging it's use, obviously, when they heard the acronym during a tour of one of the computing labs, but use of "BAD" persisted.) BAD as an acronym for "Blue and Dead" was just too "juicy" and used in several environments (campus computing labs, Bell Labs/Nortel) though only anecdotally, as the term is only informally resident in emails of the time.

Citing a condition of human artifact is not possible with such an informal term as BAD. Formal correspondence does not use such common colloquial vernacular. The recording of the use of the BAD acronym is again informally done here in this note but this is inadequate for use as a citation. Colleagues of the time recall BAD's use but short of petitioning and getting signed affidavits to establish the veracity of the above, too much time has now been wasted on this historical nuance.

PS. http://www.google.com/search?q=%22bad+for+Blue+and+dead%22

http://linuxoperatingsystemx.blogspot.ca/2013/02/what-are-different-features-from.html

If a citation is needed ...

Anecdotal information on the net is inadequate for purposes of accredited formal citations but it does demonstrate the popularity of the BAD acronym.

re: Computer science
Until these issues have been resolved the links should just be left locally. Without the local links there is not even an easy way too see the links have been migrated in way that is either controversial or even plain wrong. Please restore them. —Ruud 15:25, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) These links should never have been removed in the first place as the editor who did the "migration" did not bother to check if all links where in fact on Wikidata. Did you verify that all the links are present at least somewhere on Wikidata?
 * 2) The current entries on Wikidata are a total mess. This has not been the choice of any local wiki, but action of a single editor on Wikidata. For example, the German article de:Informatik still links to en:Computer science locally, but not on Wikidata.


 * Unfortunately checking only some of the links in not enough, as it often turns out a few to smaller wiki are missing on Wikidata. They need to be checked rigorously. In my opinion the easiest way is to leave the links in the article and then let the bots remove the ones already on Wikidata and migrate the ones that are still missing. Those that will left are in conflict and can then be checked manually. If you insist on doing all of this by hand then I won't stop you.
 * Both Q4027615 and Q21198 have been created by d:User:Sanyi4. He seems to have put any links starting with an "I" under Informatics and the rest under Computer science. This is wrong as many (but not all) of the links now under Informatics on Wikidata link back to en:Computer science locally. One interesting case concerns fr:Informatique, where local consensus was that the interwiki should be changed from en:Computer science to en:Computing and eventually a new article on computer science started under fr:Informatique fondamentale. On Wikidata fr:Informatique is suddenly linked to Informatics. —Ruud 17:50, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Undercover investigator section under Private investigator
I recently created an Undercover investigator section under the Private investigator article of which you expected me to provide a *reliable source*. Since I'm a newcomer around here, I'd like to ask for clarification whether Wikipedia requires one to cite a referenced source for every edit.

Please don't bite the newbies
Hi!

Recently you made two edits to JWST that were perfectly correct in a purely technical sense. You removed a statement without a reference, then removed it again since (in your opinion) it does not have enough long term impact. If this was done by an established, or even registered, editor I'd have no problem at all with this. But for an edit made by an IP, it certainly goes against Please do not bite the newcomers.

Here is an IP who is not a troll, not a vandal, and added factually and grammatically correct information which might be interesting to a number of people (in particular, those who visit Wikipedia since they see the model at SXSW). Almost surely, he (or she) had the reference available, but did not put it in since they did not know how. As for notability, any established editor knows that if another editor removes something as un-notable, the usual response is to go to the talk page and argue it out there. An IP editor often does not know this, so it's worth adding a "please discuss on talk page" to an edit summary for such a deletion. We need new editors, and having correct stuff deleted twice is not a welcoming experience.

Furthermore, I'd argue it *is* notable enough, for what it shows about JWST outreach efforts, if not just for the 3 day exhibit. It's covered by reliable sources: Story in the LA Times]. I'll add it again, and if in your opinion it's still not OK, please suggest a visit to the talk page to discuss in your edit summary. I'll start the entry on the talk page to make it easier for the IP if he or she wishes to respond. Maybe we can get a new editor involved, LouScheffer (talk) 13:43, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

2008 Slyudyanka earthquake
Hello! You've recently removed my edit about the 2008 Slyudyanka earthquake. You've just written me I had added the wrong information. But the earthquake really occurred at 27 Aug. 2008 in Irkutsk Oblast, Russia. There is aт article in Russian Wikipedia about it - ru:Землетрясение на Байкале (2008). The earthquake isn't famous because there were no any victims, but, nevertheless, some buildings were demolished. Moreover, I personally felt it, because I was being that moment in Slyudyanka. Egor Shustoff (talk) 17:23, 16 March 2013 (UTC).


 * I removed the entry because it appears that the magnitude was slightly exaggerated. We don't have an article on that event (and probably won't) so it's not necessary to include it on the template. Dawnseeker2000   17:30, 16 March 2013 (UTC)


 * There are the sources in the Russian article which approve the magnitude. There're no an English article about the earthquake, but I include the link in the template because I want somebody to create it. I'm confident the topic of the earthquake with the magnitude 9.0 will be interesting for Wikipedians which create articles about geology etc. Egor Shustoff (talk) 17:36, 16 March 2013 (UTC).
 * http://jre.cplire.ru/iso/library/Ulan-Ude-2010/pdffiles/s2_2.pdf The source (in Russian)approves that the magnitude of the earthquake in Slyudyanka and Kultuk was 7,5 - 8. Egor Shustoff (talk) 18:17, 16 March 2013 (UTC).

That's not what I'm seeing. The text, as translated, says (from the top of the article): "Geodynamic and ionospheric disturbances accompanied the earthquake (27.08.2008, Mw = 6.3) near the southern village of Kultuk". Dawnseeker2000  18:22, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Nomination of 700 Clicks for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article 700 Clicks is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/700 Clicks until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   06:20, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I removed the speedy because while the subject looks to be decidedly non-notable, it did have context. A1 is reserved more for things along the lines of "adfadsf" or "That guy likes cheese". It's a short article but it does identify the subject and tell you what it's about, so it falls just short of what A1 would cover. This is one of those articles that doesn't really fit well under any speedy category. I did list it for deletion though. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   06:20, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Deletion of a contribution
I am really surprised of what has happened. I tried to contribute to a page "Lean Six Sigma" which contained this message

"This article does not cite any references or sources. Please help improve this article by adding inline citations to reliable sources."

I tried to contribute adding a reference to a text on the subject published by a primary UK publisher: Gower Press.

Yes, it is true the book I referenced was written by me, but: 1. it was in response to a add a reference; 2. it is a primary text on the subject

If somebody else wants to add another text, it would be fine with me. But why to leave the item without any reference? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bnicoletti (talk • contribs) 20:20, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Deletion of a reference
Lean thinking was developed in the '40 of last century. Six Sigma was developed in the '80 of last century. There are certainly dated books on Lean Six Sigma, but it would not be beneficial to the users of Wikipedia (in order to answer to Wikipedia request for a reference) to cite a book of the '80s in last century. My books was published in October 2012. There must be some reasons why it was published by a British publisher. The reason is very simple is that it is a modern view of the subject. Yes there are other outdated books on the subject. The Wikipedia user can read them on the 10 pages reference list in the book I tried to reference. Anyway, I believe that it is debatable to leave the item without any reference. I will not suggest an outdated reference. It is against my principles. Bnicoletti (talk) 21:00, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Celestron
Hello Dawnseeker2000.

You reversed one of my edits and asked me to cite a source or discuss. I will do the latter, although a simple Google search will turn up many "sources". The focal length of a C8 Celestron telescope is 2032mm OR 203.2cm. The current article mentions the C8 as having an 8" aperture and a focal ratio of f/10. Eight inches converted to mm is 8" x 25.4mm/inch = 203.2mm. To calculate the focal length, multiply the aperture times the focal ratio, i.e., 203.2mm x 10 = 2032mm.

FWIW, I own such a telescope and can confirm that a telescope of this size has 10x the magnification of a 200mm camera lens, which is considered a medium focal length objective.

But this is rudimentary. I do not understand how you would ask me to cite a "source" when you change something back without yourself citing a source.

P&ID link removal
Dawnseeker2000 I appreciate the notification of the link removal. The link adds to the article in a material way because it is a free resource to students (primarily upper division ChemE students) who are the most likely audience for this page. Pages about diagramming are especially well served by external resources because it gives context to the article and gives the reader an actionable next step in the most likely of use cases that they are actually going to be making a diagram of their own. Lucidchart is a good candidate to be this resource because it is free for students and is web-based so it will work for the widest possible audience.

Question
You recently deleted a link I posted on the page, "list of environmental organizations." I think I figured out my fault - I made it an external link, whereas is should have been an internal link. If I go ahead and add organization back to the list, and make an internal link, I imagine that is fine?

Megathrust Earthquakes
Hello Dawnseeker2000:

You had said you had deleted something I wrote in the Megathrust article due to lack of citations and that you thought it was incorrect. I don't recall exactly what I wrote so if you could refresh my memory I would appreciate it. I do recall, however, that one thing I said was that in Southern California, the term "the big one" refers to a large Earthquake along the San Andreas. In that instance, I'm not sure you will find a more sound citation than straight from the mouth of a native Southern Californian, and that I am.

Here are some references though: http://www.sanandreasfault.org/BigOne.html http://articles.latimes.com/2010/oct/10/local/la-me-san-andreas-20101010 http://phys.org/news70114196.html http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1858700,00.html

Repeat vandalism
Shouldn't S.L. Benfica page be semi-protected. Almost every week someone vandalizes it. As it other clubs, I think it deserves a permanent semi-protected status. What's your opinion?--Threeohsix (talk) 18:41, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

I added a semi-protection request, I track the article for more than a 1 year and I think there is sufficient concern for a semi-protection. Unregistered users rarely do other thing than vandalize. Benfica as the biggest club in the country, draws alot of attention, why do you think the portuguese page is semi-protected, it's even worst there, when they can't edit in the portuguese page, they go the english one.--Threeohsix (talk) 19:02, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

Vandalism: Hudsons Bay High School
I do not understand why you keep revising my post about the notable teachers, as well as the section about Mrs. Morrison. Why do you keep referring to it as vandalism. Everything there is factual. In fact, the quote about a student talking about Mrs Morrison IS ME!! It is quite aggravating as she was a very beloved teacher, and some other student are becoming stressed at the removal of said section. If you could please refrain from deleting it, that would be great as I see you having no right to do so at this point. Provide evidence that you were a Hudsons Bay student, and/or a student of gordon patterson or candice morrison, because if not, then you truly have 0 right to delete that section. All info must be from a credible source, and if you are in fact no an alumni and/or a student of either teacher, that makes you an non-credible source of information, at least regarding that section. Thank you for your time, you can reach me at my personal email at gemini52193@gmail.com or my phone 503-328-9146. Thanks again. -Rhandy Scott Cowley.

P.s. If you are who I think you are, I will consider taking out that quote, and coming up with a "class quote" to commemorate her. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.236.248.148 (talk) 22:55, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Port Dover Sailor Edits and Warning
Good Day Dawnseeker: Yes, I am new to the Wikipedia editing scene, the main reason I created an account was to help our fans find our "new" website and update old outdated information about our hockey club. Whenever anyone goes to Goggle and types in "port dover sailors" the site I'm attempting to edit is the first on the Google list. Almost all the information on the right hand page is incorrect, and thus another reason I was attempting to edit. I see our link at the bottom of the page being referred to as the "Sailors Webpage". Even if all we were able to do was to post this at the top of the page, or something like "Scroll to bottom of page for Webpage link" would be outstanding and allow our fans easy access to our hockey club. Here is the link to our team, and should have time to peruse it, you will see why I'm trying to make changes, all for the greater good:) http://jrdportdover.pointstreaksites.com/view/portdover Thank-you for your time in allowing me, a newbie to explain why and what I was trying to do.

Because the consecration of the sass queen was a formal matter, it should be treated as such, and not be constantly removed by those who do not understand the importance of the matter. Since you did not actually witness the ceremonies welcoming the new sass queen, you should not judge it as a joke and therefore should respect the fact that, yes, Mr. Bishop was in fact crowned the local sass queen by the student body and is celebrated as such.

Edits brought to the ONE DROP page yesterday
Bonjour!

Allow me first to introduce myself. I am ONE DROP's Contents and Publications advisor. Yesterday, I attempted to edit the ONE DROP Wikipedia page. (Now, I'm afraid I'm not very "Wikipedia literate" so you'll have to bear with me!) I was evidently not successfull in doing so. This morning, I was told that you had refused my edits, considering them to be too drastic. And I agree, they were. Here's why: ONE DROP has recently repositioned itself quite drastically. At present, we are working very hard to define our new wording. The new content I posted yesterday was much more alligned with our new orientations and the way we are willing to talk about what we do for now. Will you please allow the change?

Why do you censor other people?
Dear Dawnseeker;

Why do you censor other people's ideas and information. I believe you censored my edit of Bill Maher's attack on 911 truthers. You said that I didn't offer a citation, yet the citation already existed. You're censorship is not helpful, and is actually quite suspicious. Please apply the same standards to yourself, and definitely leave wikipedia. You are danger to free speech and also public safety.

Hi Dawn,

On Wikipedia's traffic page one of the links I tried to go to was 'not found'. I found the same article on another source and updated Wikipedia to reflect the new source. Since it is the same material that Wikipedia was trying to display I do not see how the new source is not relevant or on topic. Please explain so that I can understand for future edits.

Your inappropriate edit
Your inappropriate edit. I don't appreciate your deletion of all the hard work I made on consistency between variants of English spelling. As a linguist and philologist, I feel offended when all my work is reverted after I was working on what Wikipedia wants: consistency in an article. I looked at what the majority of the article's spelling was and changes all the other errors to that form regardless of the spelling I prefer. Please don't revert the work of another when all he/she is doing is helping out. And saying I "broke the page" doesn't help. Good day

Reversion on Recycling talk page
An IP editor asked for help with homework. As such a request is inappropriate for an article talk page, the reversion is warranted. I did leave a talk page welcome for the IP user, hopefully they will review that entry and note my suggestion to seek help at WP:RD for such requests in the future. I'm leaving you this message in the hope that in the future you will do similar, it lessens the reversion load in the long run, as new editors learn of assets available to them.
