Please consider adding assessment templates
Sure. I mean, adding stuff like now at Talk:Dragonriders of Pern (video game). It is quite important for various other tools, like Article alerts. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; talk to me 16:45, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
 * For adding them, I do it manually. By now I remember most code, but you can easily check a related page and copy the code from there. It is usually . For WPBIO replace |importance by |living=yes/no. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; talk to me 17:16, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
 * No, there's no DYK specific assessment tags. I am pretty sure I meant talk page assessments I noted above. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; talk to me 18:49, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

SFN Templates
What are those? None of the citation templates I have seen have all the "bugs" out of them yet, and still produce some odd outputs that do not fully correspond to any bibliographical style guide I know. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 21:29, 6 January 2012 (UTC). Okay, I took a look at them, and there are critical errors still inherent including using commas instead of periods to separate sections or tracings, something that was changed 30 years ago in reference cataloguing, as well, the same butchered APA style is still being used, which does not accommodate multiple authors well, or later editions, or ... and on and on. I have still to be convinced that the template designs can't be changed but no one seems willing to take that on. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 21:37, 6 January 2012 (UTC).

See Canadian Parliamentary Motion 37/1-1205
Hi M, sorry to drag you into this sordid mess, but the comments made by one of the participants have now "gone over the edge" and are very similar to the mIckMac syndrome of another Wiki editor. This is now beyond WP:Tendentious editing and is symptomatic of an uncivil editor, who needs at the very least, a "slap on the wrists." A number of ANIs have been started but various admins have shied away from the issue of conduct because of the "positive" record of contributions, yet, the editor has left a illuminating record of confrontations and arbitrary actions that belie this contention that a valuable contributor is at work. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 15:43, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
 * To be more specific, the editor in question has previously derided other editors who opposed his/her actions with comments such as others "just show up and scrawl an X with a crayon", and was asked to moderate his comments, then continued with calling out those that opposed the arbitrary merge and move actions as "cranks." I know this sounds petty but the MO revolves around similar behaviour as well as triggering a number of ANI requests. FWiW, the issue is not the content canard, it is WP:Uncivil conduct. Bzuk (talk) 18:54, 12 January 2012 (UTC).
 * I've crossed paths before. But I prefer to interpret this as "amusing grumpiness" as opposed to "disruptive badass". That's because I hope people return the favour! Maury Markowitz (talk) 21:14, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I think you're right and I construed a lot of the diatribe as being convoluted and disingenuous, more tactics than outright nastiness. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 21:46, 12 January 2012 (UTC).

Re: Confused about this...
Hi there,

It's nothing to worry about really - it's just that once you have had five articles featured on Did You Know, you are required to review another nomination each time you nominate one. As you've had less than five articles featured, you didn't need to review another nomination - so I thought it was best to mention this in the review in case another editor swung by and thought you'd missed reviewing another article (thus delaying your nomination by mistake).

Hi, in response to, no. The "Incomplete DYK nomination" notification above refers to the fact that you neglected to transclude your nomination of Lange (ski boots) on Template talk:Did you know. I've done it for you now, but please remember to do it for any further nominations. Without doing so, no one will ever see your nomination, so it can't be approved and promoted.

Replaceable fair use File:Spademan 900 ski boot.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Spademan 900 ski boot.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 01:09, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

nForce
Hello. You asked a question about nforce chipsets on my talk page. HyperTransport is in no way deprecated. It's still used by the latest Athlon, Phenom, Sempron and FX (aka Bulldozer) CPU's. The 700 and 900 series chipsets for AMD are indeed a few years old, but they support the highest HT 3.0 bus speed of the latest AM3+ CPU's. For a new computer nForce + AMD CPU is still a good option. The latest AMD AM3(+) CPU's except Fusion are still 100% compatible with older chipsets going back to some nForce3 models, at least if your motherboard and BIOS support the CPU you want to use. Fusion CPU's only work with special chipsets from AMD (A55, A75, etc. aka Hudson). I can recommend you the Asrock M3N78D motherboard, or M3N78D FX if you want to use an FX CPU. If you want to use SLI, there's the Asus M4N98TD series but they're a bit expensive. But of course other manufacturers have nForce boards as well.

nForce + Intel, however, is horribly outdated. After the Core 2 series Intel wanted to make all chipsets theirselves - that way nvidia could only produce chipsets for old LGA 775 CPU's. The DMI bus used by Core i (and Celeron/Pentium derivatives) is supported by Intel chipsets only. Fortunately AMD hasn't switched to a new bus. If they're ever going to do that I'm afraid nvidia will disappear from the chipset market. Since the merge with ATI, NVIDIA is a concurrent of AMD. Albert Pool (talk) 10:21, 28 February 2012 (UTC)


 * HT is the only bus that can be used to connect 754/939/AM2/AM3 CPU's to the chipset. It's used by all brands of chipsets, not just nForce, another way of connecting a chipset does not even exist in those CPU's. AMD might replace HT with UMI, which they have already introduced in the Fusion, but for Athlon/Phenom/Sempron this won't happen until 2013. But they'll also have to replace socket AM3 when doing so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Albert Pool (talk • contribs) 14:23, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

| Edit of Škoda 15 T
Hello Maury,

although your edit is useful and has simplified the text, I believe that essential information was lost - as regards the defficiencies of 14T and the pecularities of the tramway track, which led to the development of 15T. I don't want to start an edit war, hence I would like to ask you to re-edit it in a way that would re-introduce this information, without making the text too complicated as it had been before.

Edits on NIF
Hi Maury,

I've seen your edits and generally do not object however I feel that the following two paragraphs you edited out really bring some interesting details. Could we put them back in? Thanks

Aneutronik (talk) 10:23, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

In a 2012 interview[105] Dr Mike Dunne, LLNL Director for Laser Fusion Energy acknowledges that the control of these hydrodynamic instabilities is key to the success of NIF, which he confidently predicts within 6–18 months of February 2012. These Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities have obviously been underestimated, based on the output of the simulations used to design NIF.

One must bear in mind that these experiments, where the surface layer of an ablator is sublimed by X-rays, is directly inspired by that of hydrogen bombs. In the case of a fusion bomb the thickness of the ablator is sufficient to mitigate the hydrodynamic instabilities but in the case of the NIF capsule the thickness is insufficient and hydrodynamic instabilities cause some mixing of ablator material with capsule fuel, which hinders ignition. Further in the memo, the reviewers suggest to increase the shell thickness, but this increases its inertia. To keep the required implosion speed, they request that the NIF energy be increased to 2MJ. One must also keep in mind that neodymium lasers can withstand only a limited amount of energy or risk explosion. Some reviewers question whether or not the energy of NIF is sufficient to indirectly compress a large enough capsule to avoid the mix limit and reach ignition. (Crandall Memo 2012, p. 5)

Hey Aneutronik,

I removed the first of the two paras because it basically said something that was no longer true - it was Moses' prediction of ignition in the short term, essentially just a progress report about the ongoing LIFE project at that time. If this was February then an up-to-date statement about the status of the effort is definitely worth including, but that was a better part of a year ago and the statement simply isn't true any more. Am I missing something here?

The second one has a single useful bit of information in it, the statement about the thickness of the ablator. This is now mentioned in passing in the historical section, see the new reference from Nuckolls. The rest of that para is not factual - the lasers do not risk explosion AFAIK, but etching, and whether or not the laser has enough energy is well covered throughout. I believe this para is also "out of place" and suggest a statement specifically about ablator thickness tradeoffs in the description area, far up the page.

Maury Markowitz (talk) 11:40, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi Maury,

Re: the first paragraph, indeed Mike Dunne's prediction did not come true and we are still to hear what the new predictions will be (or news that he and John Lindl are leaving NIF?) https://pppl-edit.princeton.edu/events/new-results-national-ignition-facility-dr-john-lindl-lawrence-livermore-national-laboratory Quite clearly the Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities have been underestimated but you may want to prefer to wait for the official announcement of failure in Deeney's report to congress Nov 30?

Re: the second paragraph is an attempt at explaining what went wrong on NIF. Here also you may want to wait for Nov 30 but in a nutshell: 1) Centurion-Halite said 10MJ (thick capsule) 2) this is unattainable with current laser technology 3) it was predicted that ignition would be possible with a thin capsule (and current laser technology) 4) this is obviously wrong due to Rayleigh-Taylor 5) so now what do we do with NIF?

So in my opinion the question of shell thickness is key to understand what went wrong, and why so much money was wasted.

By the way laser glass chambers do explode(or at least gets shattered into glass splinters), usually due to a default in the manufacturing but here this is the limiting factor in each laser power (using current glass technology)

Aneutronik (talk) 12:33, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

I take your point on the timeline. I need to take a bit of time to think about what's best and what to add (with minimal rewrite). If my edits have helped those who wonder why NIF did not work, I'm happy. If someone in the know knows better (and tells us) then I'm happy to be proven wrong. In the end we need fusion if at all practical: NIF, ITER or Z machine... What we do not need is politicians who manipulate data in order to raise big budgets and build large useless facilities. Not all real science experiments are multi-billion $

Drawing evidence for Me 210 vs. Me 410 differences
Dear Maury:

The PIPE Here again, after some years away (since the late summer of 2007!) from last contacting you !!

I compared the Wikipedia scale drawing at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Me_210_w_trzech_rzutach.jpg on the Messerschmitt Me 210 to a relatively GOOD one of the Me 410 Hornisse at http://www.airwar.ru/image/idop/fww2/me410/me410-1.gif, and the GLARING differences in the wing planform between the 210 and Hornisse, as I had mentioned to you from way back in 2007, are readily apparent when I saved copies of each wing planform on my hard disk and compared them to each other, within my copy of Corel Photo-Paint 12 earlier this morning.

This would be a perfect DesignCAD project for Wikipedia as it seems that it's never been seriously documented before, and as I already told you about how there had to be a similar wing redesign (but in reverse!) for the famous Ilyushin Il-2 Sturmovik when it became a two-seat ground attack aircraft versus the earlier single-seat design, I'd be doing a DesignCAD project over the coming weeks (or perhaps a month or two) to produce both an SVG file for the Me 410 based on the Russian scale drawing (but a bit different in how the aircraft's views are presented using DesignCAD for my own copyright on them, to be submitted to Wikipedia as my own work from the DesignCAD drawing environment) and a comparison file between the 210 and 410, to more clearly show that glaring difference between the Me 210's "rearwards" located aerodynamic centered wing, and the Hornisse's "more-forward" aerodynamic centered wing that led to its better handling.

I've just got to figure out HOW to easily produce a scalable SVG vector drawing file from the DesignCAD work, that's all...between my complete Corel Graphics Suite 12, the DesignCAD software, and whatever "open source" graphic software that might be needed to do it, I'm SERIOUSLY going to try to get those two SVG files for Wikipedia going over this winter, to finally lay to rest the doubt you seem to have had about the Me 210's wing being as different from the 410's wing layout from several years ago.

Hope to hear from you when time's available...

Template:Did you know nominations/torque amplifier
Maury, there was a problem with the length of the hook for this nomination when it was just re-reviewed—it was over 200 characters, which is a hard and fast ceiling. I've proposed a rewording that takes it down to 196 characters, but we need you to check it to be sure it's still accurate. Please stop by and let us know. Many thanks.
