Current computer and video games events Hey. I hope you like the page. We just started it a few weeks ago, and I've been doing a lot of tweaking with it to make it look pretty ;) Anyway, feel free to add anything you see fit. Don't worry about making mistakes, they can be easily fixed! Cheers, Jacoplane 03:43, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Page Blanking On 11-Feb, you blanked Derivation of the partition function with an edit summary of "Deleted". Page blanking is not a means of deletion and is generally considered a bad idea. I've reverted it to the previous version. If you believe the page should be deleted, please follow the deletion procedures. Thanks! -- JLaTondre

Electron If you do not have a good grasp of the principles of physics, please refrain from editing the content of technical articles. Your additions on the subject of spin are very poorly informed and are not improving the article. If you still wish to make improvements to that section, please discuss them in the Talk section of the article first. Thanks. -- Xerxes 01:35, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Re: How to archive a talk page
(I came here via your comment on User:Jacoplane's talk page. Just thought would like to help him answer.)

To archive a talk page, just follow the instructions at this page. (Using subpages is the more popular and easier method.) Summary of the steps: Hope that helps. &mdash; Kimchi.sg | Talk 00:50, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) Cut out the text to be archived.
 * 2) Go to the URL of the new archive page, and click "create an article with this title".
 * 3) Paste the text into the editing box, and save.
 * 4) Add the talkarchive template to the top of the archive page.

P.S. I noticed you blanked your own talk page. It'd be nicer if you archive it instead. ;-)

Xbox 360
Hi there. I see you've done some unlinking of terms on the Xbox 360 article. I can see why you've unlinked some of it, but am unsure whether unlinking the dates is correct. The reason the dates were linked was so that the dates would be visible in the user's preferred format, often useful if user isn't from US/UK etc. More info at Manual_of_Style_%28dates_and_numbers%29. -- Oscar The Cat talk 07:59, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Got your reply. Hadn't know about the date linking thing myself until recently.  They do show up as links, which as you say, seems wrong.  I guess the wiki software can change if necessary in the future, to mark such dates as mere text.  I totally agree with the other links in the article though - makes it pretty unreadable to have almost every word a link, people go a bit overboard sometime.  The guide you pointed me at makes sense - just wants people to point non-regular terms and the link to other wiki articles.

Hope this works.. I've created a new article 'odontodes' it has a link from lungfish and panaque. I'd classify it as a 'biological anatomy' article. At present it's probably just a 'stub'.

Wii-vote
I don't want to start an argument here too. But I must point out that your resistance to voting on the external links issue is baffling. I set that up as a means to find out what people were thinking on the subject, not to start a whole other problem. I am at a loss about how you could have an issue with finding out what people think about an issue. If you don't want to vote, fine, but, please, I don't see how posting comments questioning its relevance helps anything. Honestly, are you actually trying to be difficult? Or do you really think you've been making any sense? Look at the discussion, it's not just me. Dannybu2001 20:54, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

RE: democracy comment on my talk page
I know. Frankly, I think it's kind of sad we even have to do votes (notice I added discussion sections), but as I said, the discussion on the matter was too cumbersome for anyone to make sense of (further complicated by someone archiving most of it (Archive #9) and then turning around and questioning where on earth this discussion took place.) The vote was meant to be a peaceable means to guage if it was just a couple of users or if there was a true consensus for excluding non-official links. And, actually there's no stone policy that non-official links can't be excluded. If we did decide to make it that way, it'd be okay. And that's what I was attempting to find out! There was no reason under the sun to make such a stink about it, as it wasn't even all about you, you simply made it about you. If you didn't like it, you should have stayed out of it. I thought there was one more user adding to the problem, but upon review of the archived discussion I cannot figure out who (another reason for the vote.) Ultimately, a certain non-registered user proved to be the only one who had a real problem with it (the same user that mainly inspired my questioning of the situation), your edits were simply ill-timed from my perspective and I thought you both were against it. Regardless, your opposition to IGN and Gamespot specifically was clear, as you kept removing them on rather weak, seemingly personal, not true policy-based reasoning. I'm not trying to be a jerk here, but they have merit, content, and precedent, among other things, backing up their inclusion. You just have personal opinion, whether you realize it or not.

And yes, you yourself added to the "difficulty" of the situation even before the vote. BUT, you weren't the only one, so stop taking this personally. Dannybu2001 18:32, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not censored, BUT...
Part of being WP:CIVIL with your fellow editors means trying your level best to keep profanity to a minimum. This edit and this edit suggest that I ask of you a little more effort, please. :)  Radio Kirk   talk to me  18:40, 23 May 2006 (UTC)


 * LOL, no, no profanity counter, but this edit showed up as part of this discussion, and that's the kind of thing that rings alarm bells among other editors who, despite WP:AGF, might wonder how WP:CIVIL you'll be when dealing with them. :)  Radio Kirk   talk to me  20:11, 23 May 2006 (UTC)


 * The blocking admin (not me) decided that certain edits merited an indefinite block. I won't judge either way; I will say that "indefinite" and "permanent" are not synonymous (some indef-blocked users have been able to come back and be productive). <tt> Radio Kirk </tt> <tt> talk to me </tt> 20:56, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Dry Ice Blasting
The dry ice suggestion from me (it was not my question) was inspired by a promotional video I watched that was being shown at a local hardware store recently. In this they were demonstrating the cleaning / degreasing of heavy factory machines, leaving a clean machine and a heap of dirt on the floor. It looks like it's supposed to be the enviro-friendly answer to toxic solvents and sand-blasting, and also suitable for electrical apparatus, as well as for "sensitive" surfaces. I have not googled much on it, but this site has some advert blurb. I believe it will become more popular in the future, with the number of service providers increasing, and therefore becoming more competitive. Regards. --Seejyb 21:37, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Re: Aeration - the page describes aeration as the dissolving of air in a liquid, which I think of as a chemical process.

Corydoras category
I guess we should determine what the maximum number of pages there should be in a category before it should be split because it has too many articles in it. I think that number should be around 50 or so, but we should discuss it. There are 48 corydoras articles, so on that basis, I think corydoras should have its own category.

 * Hello, got your message - I'm looking at the article and it's good, not sure how or if it could be improved - though personally I'd like to read more about it's habitat (in the wild or with reference to fishkeeping), also a bit technical but a link to an explanation of why the scales are brightly coloured/metallic would be very good. Hope it gets to be a featured article. (Also there is now a Category:Fish of South East Asia which I am currently starting to populate.)HappyVR 01:27, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

The Wii60 site (wii60.com) kind of showcases the level of fan anger that a significant portion of the community has over Sony's price point, so I think it's worth having in. Legend78

Re: Ps3 controller, and politeness
Nah, I wouldn't say you are a pain to discuss with. For the same reason I would have to apologize for trying to defend a point of view that would, in the end and for me, make the article slightly more complete according to WP:NPOV. I am not sure why you took those comments personally. Note that I have suggested before that we should include both points of view and let the reader make his own conclusions. If we have reliable sources with verifiable information, why hide it? By ommiting both Sony and Immersion comments, you are preventing the casual user from learning something we know that could be included according to Wikipedia guidelines and policies.

If you felt it was a personal attack, sorry for that. However, you are the one who thought a perfect edit was offensive, not considering good faith. You were taking a limited view of things, reporting only the result but not the well-known, verifiable and sourced controversy around it. The way you put it, it was as if Sony decided, free of will, that the control would have no rumble features, however that is not true according to the reliable links we have at our hand. In a previous situation, you felt offended immediately after I wrote a comment for which I apologized. However this time you continued discussing and decided to go back later to see what could be considered bad faith. Note that when I felt offended with the way you were indenting the talk, not respecting the talk guidelines, I said that immediately, not after the discussion finished. Removing perfectly verifiable and sourced information just because you don't like speculation downgrades the quality of the article, as it hides facts (the fact that Sony claimed the rumbling affected motion sensors and the fact that Immersion stated that 1. they have won a lawsuit that prevents Sony from using the technology if upheld and 2. they would help Sony to incorporate rumbling without interfering the sensors) from the readers. Remember that you do not own the article. As for the etiquette, could you tell me where you felt I did not respect it? Certainly you did not work toward agreement, but I did not assume bad faith in your behaviour, just pointed out you were coming back again and again to the starting point. Note that good faith is not a blanket you can use everytime you feel affected. Yelling "Assume Good Faith" at people does not excuse you from explaining your actions, and making a habit of it will convince people that you're acting in bad faith. You talked to me four times    before stating why you did not want that information in the article  Had you stated that from the beginning of the thread, you would have prevented misunderstandings. As an advice, next time go directly to the matter and state your point. -- ReyBrujo 18:05, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: English re:PS3 discussion
Please, no personal attacks. If you wish not to reply, I have no problems with that. However, personal attacks do not really help. I am guessing you are stressed with the recent vandalism that had happened in the PS3 and Wii articles, that is why I suggest to cool down and, if necessary, take a break. I understand about this, I have been wikistressed myself, and realized that taking a break really helps. Sorry for the misunderstandings, but know that attacking isn't the solution. -- ReyBrujo 18:35, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
