Electron Mass
More facts have been added that support the concept that the electron is a gravitationally confined entity. I would like to know your thoughts about this. See: http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/discussionpost/Electron_as_a_ring_singularity_56595 DonJStevens (talk) 17:07, 22 January 2012 (UTC)]]

Hi. When you recently edited The Promise (2011 TV serial), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Friends of Israel (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

CGA representation of objects
I'm puzzled. In the lead of User:Jheald/sandbox/GA/Conformal geometric algebra, saying "the vectors corresponding to two spheres" could imply that a vector represents a sphere, because you have said nothing about the reprenetation yet. As I understand it, we have the following correspondence in CGA: CGA REPRESENTATION : GEOMETRIC OBJECT REPRESENTED vector            : a geometric point in affine space bivector blade    : a point pair (which could be considered a generalized 1-D circle) trivector blade   : a generalized circle (a line or a circle) 4-vector blade    : a generalized sphere etc.   ∧                 : the intersection of two objects ("meet"?) ∨                : the conformal object containing both objects ("join"?) I think it would be important in this article to make this correspondence clear, perhaps before the mathematical detail. I find the explanation on quite intuitive; I have not read your references. My question is whether there is more than one CGA in normal use (for example another where an object is represented by the Hodge dual of its representation in another, thus probably switching the uses of ∧ and ∨), or whether you are implying the Hodge dual (multiplication by the psuedoscalar) in "corresponding to". — Quondum☏✎ 09:27, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Alexander Suslin
Thanks for your restore, though it was reverted by a change to something with even less WP:RS support. Any suggestions as how/whether to proceed on this? In ictu oculi (talk) 01:20, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

WP:NOTBROKEN
Do not edit Wikipedia in such a way, especially making useless changes in one article several times. You may change links along useful changes in one edit, but not as a single purpose for an edit. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 16:31, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

The Promise
Jheald, some matters:

Firstly, on The Promise talk page, on the response to the Senate Estimates hearing, you wrote on 15 Feb “Until more reports emerge, for the time being I have cut it back to just the first sentence.” Can these paragraphs you removed be re-instated now?

Mr Ebeid revealed that SBS entered into a pre-sale arrangement with, and made an advance payment to, the producers of The Promise in full knowledge that the subject matter was going to be controversial and likely to be seen as racist by most members of the Jewish community. He conceded that SBS had formed the opinion that the series is not antisemitic without having consulted anyone in the Jewish community. One of the Senators who questioned him, Senator Helen Kroger of Victoria, subsequently issued a media release. [2] “SBS appears to have put a business decision ahead of independent assessments which determined that it was offensive to the Jewish community,” Senator Kroger said. Shadow Parliamentary Secretary for Small Business and Fair Competition Senator Scott Ryan rejected Mr Ebeid’s claim that because The Promise was fiction, it was subject to different considerations. “Some of the biggest slanders in history have been works of fiction,” Senator Ryan said. “Depictions in the series include Jewish children stoning Arab children, blood-thirsty soldiers, conniving double-agents and members of an extremely wealthy, cosmopolitan family. Like it or not, these three depictions are antisemitic stereotypes that are at the same time old, but also reappearing today.”[3]

Secondly, on my user-page you state that “we really do need to rely as far as possible on published third party accounts, and the balance they strike.” I note removal of most of my quoting from Stepan Kerkyasharian’s letter, yet you allow extensive quoting of Hal Wootten’s article. Where is the balance there? Surely if Wootten’s article is allowed extensive quoting, then why not Kerkyasharian’s?

Thirdly, I’d like to add in quotes and references to media articles on the Senate hearing. Can I do that now?

Hello!
Nice to meet you earlier today - do drop me a line on chris dot keating at wikimedia.org.uk and I'll see if I can put you in touch with the people who might be able to help with the topographic maps! Regards, The Land (talk) 16:51, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

Non-coder question about Ordinance Survey conversions
Being a non-coder, I have no idea how the replacement values in GeoHack are generated. Are my results here a function of this or something else? Any insight you can provide — since I have no insight at all — would be appreciated. Best regards, TransporterMan  ( TALK ) &#124; DR goes to Wikimania! 17:12, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_comment/Muhammad_images
Jheald, I wanted to make sure that you saw my question on the talk page relative to the Muhammad images. I was hoping to get your opinion on one of the proposals being proffered on the discussion page.--- Balloonman  Poppa Balloon 14:29, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

1870s Cambridge albumen album
This research you've done is simply awesome. Are you connected to Cambridge University or do you live in the area by any chance? If so, you may be interested in the WP:Cambridge University Wikipedia Society or the upcoming Cambridge meetup. Deryck C. 13:06, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

The Project
I notice that the Wiki page on The Project is just a stub. It is the first element of the trilogy of films I made about New Labour, (The Government Inspector and Britz being the other two), and is  the second I made with Leigh Jackson, (he died shortly after it was transmitted). It caused a real rumpus at the time and began my very difficult relationship with Alistair Campbell. Quite a lot is written about it. It took the lid off some of the shadier practices of New Labour en route to power. I wonder if you would be interested in expanding the page after the wonderful job you have done with The Promise and STK? Peter Kosminsky (talk) 22:30, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Liverpool Care Pathway
Hi, I'm concerned about some NPOV edits to Liverpool Care Pathway for the dying patient that I see are already being used as polemic fodder. I'm not sure whether it's bad enough to remove (or move to talk page or whatever), but I see you've done extensive work on the article so far, so presumably have a better understanding of the subject.

I would favour follow-up on your proposal. To talk and then not act is to encourage the trolls. There seems to be only one fly in the ointment; I don't know how much that weighs.Chjoaygame (talk) 00:49, 17 December 2012 (UTC)Chjoaygame (talk) 02:23, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
