Proposed deletion of Orders of magnitude (momentum)


The article Orders of magnitude (momentum) has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Article with non-notable content, entirely based on unreliable open forum source"

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.

Heat death of the univ listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Heat death of the univ. Since you had some involvement with the Heat death of the univ redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon &bull; videos) 21:41, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of How to divide by zero
Hello, Eli355. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, How to divide by zero, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:


 * 1) [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit edit the page]
 * 2) remove the text that looks like this:
 * 3) save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Regarding the removal of "Largest possible momentum"
I removed the row for "Largest possible momentum" because the value cited was non-sensical and not supported by the referenced source, which only listed a mass of the universe. It appears you arrived at the value by multiplying the mass of the universe (6E52 kg) by the speed of light (3E8 m/s). This completely ignores the concept of relativistic momentum; one can trivially choose an inertial frame where a single stationary electron (relative to whatever you care to choose. Earth, sun, galactic center, whatever) has a a momentum higher than this value.

I appreciate your page Orders of magnitude (momentum)! BetatronRadiation (talk) 03:37, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

July 2018
Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Orders of magnitude (mass). Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. - DVdm (talk) 09:13, 26 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Although objects cannot move at the speed of light, objects can move arbitrarily close the speed of light, and this allows objects to have arbitrarily high masses. —Eli355 (talk &#124; contribs) 14:53, 12 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Obsolete concept. See Mass in special relativity. - DVdm (talk) 16:02, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
 * And of course, regarding your edit: there are no such objects, hence the warning above. - DVdm (talk) 16:12, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Your signature
Hi! I noticed all of the links in your signature start with a colon. This isn't strictly needed, because Wikipedia resolves internal links to the current wiki - i.e. the English Wikipedia. Enterprisey (talk!) 02:44, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
 * The colon was put in automatically when the  template was substituted. Each colon takes up 1 byte of space, so it is not such a big deal. Eli355  (talk  &#124; contribs ) 20:35, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Now my signature transcludes the templates. —Eli355 ( talk    contribs  ) 01:39, 26 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Hello Eli355, you may not use transcluded pages in signatures, please adjust as soon as possible. For information about signature guidelines please see WP:SIGNATURE. —  xaosflux  Talk 17:20, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
 * JJMC89 changed my signature to not include transclusions, and removed the emojis. Are emojis allowed in signatures?— Eli355 (  talk   contribs  ) 18:16, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Eli355, in general some emoji's in your signature are allowed, you should just use the unicode for them if possible. Basically, decorating your signature some is welcome and can be useful (easy to find you in a busy discussion page for example) - but adding lots of markup, symbols, etc tends to lead to it just being distracting. As far as I'm concerned your current signature is just fine, and if you wanted to replace "talk" and "contribs" with symbols while leaving your name spelled out it would probably not be any issue either.  Don't ever transclude in signatures - there is a pile of problems it can cause.  Happy editing, —  xaosflux  Talk 00:56, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

Please see WP:SIGLENGTH and WP:SIG regarding the length of your signature and the use of User:Eli355/signature. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 04:34, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

RfA questions
Uh...You do know that this isn't really the kind of question you're supposed to ask at RfA, right? SemiHypercube ✎ 21:54, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

Not only is it a totally inappropriate question for RfA, it's not funny, and it's the kind of thing that puts people off from running for adminship. IMO it's nothing more than trolling. Do you really believe that you are competent enough to be judging candidates for adminship? If you do, then please read this too. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:59, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
 * It is quite likely that Eli355 is trolling. A completely inexperienced user, posting the sole "oppose" !vote in a strong RfA (148 "support" !votes and counting... ), and basing his !vote on a lack on contributions to mainspace. Yet, when you look at the candidates impressive numbers, then the tiny fractions that this user has in comparison, you see that it can't possibly be a legitimate !vote. Did he post this "oppose" simply because he's so inexperienced that he didn't know any better? Or because he thought it would be 'funny'? One might lean towards the former, until they see the question this user posted for the candidate. Definitely the latter, or more likely both. A new user, posting nonsense in the middle the of a important process like RfA, for nothing more than his own amusement, who then refuses to respond to any queries directed to him, either at the RfA or on his talk page (despite being active on the project during that time) and yes... I believe we are likely being trolled. (Though I will try to AGF and wait to see if Eli355 responds). Either way, this is just another example of why changes are needed at RfA. JMHOs -  wolf  07:24, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Ah-ha! My AGF has been rewarded (partially at least). Eli355 has answered my question over at RfA talk; ":I feel this candidate will use the admin tools properly, and his mass creation of stubs is a separate issue." - Eli355.


 * That however raises an obvious follow-up question, and did an excellent job of posting just that, less than 20 min. later; "So why did you oppose !vote if you think he won't misuse the tools?" - SemiHypercube.


 * A response is still pending as I post this but, it seems that Eli355 is perhaps not trolling afterall, (which would be a good thing). We'll now wait to see if he answers the follow-up question. (I am again going with AGF here) Cheers - wolf  05:53, 18 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Whatever his motivations were for posting such a question, it  was totally inappropriate, a thorough  disregard for  the seriousness of RfA and an affront  to those who pose relevant questions. This coupled with the string  of AfD on his recent  creations, which  has sadly  led to    getting a hefty boomerang at ANI and stomping away  from Wikipedia in  a huff, demonstrates that  there is a problem of sorts. Nevertheless, the RfA is certain  to  conclude with  a well  deserved promotion and I  think  we can let  the matter rest. Thanks for your measured AGF - keep up the good work.

Participation at AFD
I suggest you read WP:USEFUL before mass commenting on AFD discussions using that rationale. Also, just because something is comprehensive does not necessarily mean it is notable and meets our inclusion policies and guildeines. Mkdw  talk 20:38, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

 * You must express why the subject is notable and should be kept. Something that is useful or could be improved are not valid rationales for inclusion. Mkdw  <span style="color: #0B0080;text-shadow: 4px 4px 15px white, -4px -4px 15px white">talk 20:55, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

March 5
Hello. I noticed that you corrected a capital letter on March 5's page. I don't understand why that "T" letter has to be a capital letter. Can you explain it to me, or give me a link about this? 95.253.203.9 (talk) 12:44, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi 95.253.203.9, This letter is capitalized since it is the first letter of a sentence. — Eli355 ( talk  •  contribs ) 00:21, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Well... I thought the reason was something more difficult to understand. Now I feel a little stupid! But there is a misunderstanding: that "T" is not the first letter of a sentence! Please check that page again to read the reason why I undid your correction. PS this whole thing has a very very very very low importance, so if you're sure that your edit is good, I'll have no more objections. 95.253.203.9 (talk) 10:08, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
 * @95.253.203.9: The item your refering to is this one:
 * 1824 – First Anglo-Burmese War: The British officially declare war on Burma.
 * "First Anglo-Burmese War" is not the first word in the sentence, it just introduces what the sentence is going to be about. — Eli355 ( talk  •  contribs ) 19:06, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Rollback granted
Hi Eli355. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3AEli355 enabled] rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback: If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Swarm talk  20:15, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
 * Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
 * Rollback should never be used to edit war.
 * If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
 * Use common sense.
 * Thanks — Eli355 ( talk  •  contribs ) 20:42, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
