Hi, I've responded to your concerns on the DYK page. The slumping technique is not localized to telescopy and has been used in e.g. pottery for thousands of years. However, the application to telescopy is quite new, especially the technique being used on NuSTAR. Astro interest (talk) 20:37, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Recreated article
Hi, I was looking at the articles at AfC, and I noticed that there is a draft of Santosh K. Mehrotra. It looks like it has the same problems as last time. I thought you did a good job on that article and still think the outcome should have been different. Despite my bad arguments. Anyway, it's there if you want to look at it. – Margin1522 (talk) 19:24, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh dear. Yes I think there will be the same problems again. I think the afd last time was unfair and some of the deleters should have been in my view more considerate. This seems a common problem those wishing to delete doing so not based on knowing the subject or evidence but as a reaction against autobiographical things. I was very disappointed with some of the contributors there and the deleting administrator. People are often reluctant to change their minds as they think it makes them look weak or something. I had a little draft of a trimmed down version but someone wanted it deleting. Anyway I don't know how to proceed. I guess the author of the draft won't engage with debates either and hasn't realised that a much terser article would have a much better chance of getting on. I think it is very funny how someone with the profile of Mehrotra doesn't get to have an article because of the self promotion/coi things and the difficulties with Indian sources. Best wishes, (Msrasnw (talk) 23:32, 8 March 2015 (UTC))

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Wushishi tramway, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mina.

This type of request should go at WT:PERM. But I'm here, so I can help you... you have been accidentally hitting rollback? I'm happy to remove rollback for you but I would like to first make you aware of confirmationRollback which is a script that requires confirmation before rollback is performed. This should alleviate the accidental rollbacks. If you still wish to have rollback removed, please confirm here and I will do it for you. Best &mdash; MusikAnimal  talk  23:05, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Louis Auguste Say
Hello. This page that you created Louis Auguste Say, is a duplicate of Louis Say. Both pages are terrible and I will try to improve Louis Say with in-line references. Since his company was named Louis Say & cie, I think we could drop the middle name, don't you think? Do we need to ask an administrator to merge the page you created with Louis Say so that there is a redirect? I have created redirect when the page did not exist, but not when it is already here. Btw, if you want to help me improve Louis Say, please feel free to do so. Please reply on my talkpage. Thank you.Zigzig20s (talk) 00:30, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

They have now been on Wikipedia for a month an if there was more info it should be there by now.

My suggestion is that they need to have done something more in their field than be hired by a Newspaper for a controversial study.RonaldDuncan (talk)

Hi have done a bit more research on both experts, and I think that Michael Ashenden could have an article, but it needs a few more sources. e.g. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-17586597 rather than your previous source linking back to the Sunday Times article you need to bring out he was on the UCI panel, and some of his other work. It may be best to refer to Robin Parisotto in a Michael Ashenden article.

Hubert Parry
After your recent excellent incursion chez Stanford I am emboldened to ask if you could be suborned into working on Hubert Parry's article. I had a go a few years back, and then a really excellent editor took the baton and made major improvements before the demands of real life obliged him to leave off. We are getting a lot of British composers up to FA, and it would be good if Parry could be got up to that level. Pray ponder. Quite understand if the answer is a firm No, of course, but nothing venture, nothing win.  Tim riley  talk    20:39, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Manchester SSEM circularity
I updated my comment here. I think yu can see my point, no? Is there a reason we should persist in this circularity, using a name that's used just because Wikipedia adopted it? Dicklyon (talk) 02:42, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

Dear Mr Lyon, I am afraid I think your whole line on this feels to me bit odd or over the top. And I don't see the circularity you see. That is I am not sure you have established that wikipedia is the source of this title rather than Burton and the www.computer50.org which seem to me fine as sources. "Baby" seems to me clearly a nickname, the Small-Scale Experimental Machine (SSEM) the standard "formal" name, and Manchester SSEM used in enough proper sources for it to be not only OK - but it also seems the most useful title. I am not sure why you are objecting so much to Chris Burton's role in the establishment of name. I have very little proper knowledge in this area but on reading the page in question I started, in my usual slightly shoddy way, the page on Geoff Tootill because it was missing (one of the few ways of improving the well written Wikipedia article on the Manchester SSEM that I could see was to add a page on him), have seen the rebuilt machine at MOSI (which is great) and had personal correspondence (on an unrelated issue) with one of the authors of the peer reviewed papers from 2014 that used "the Manchester Small-Scale Experimental Machine ('The Baby')" (cited to the www.computer50.org a completely reputable source which you also seem to object to.).

I think the wording in the policy on this Article_titles squares with my feelings about the issue: - I can't see there was a consensus building just rival camps lining up. - This seems true to me here - This does not seem to me to be happening - This is not really relevant but does seem to give some weight to the first major contributor to the article. And they went with the current name.
 * Changing one controversial title to another without a discussion that leads to consensus is strongly discouraged.
 * If an article title has been stable for a long time, and there is no good reason to change it, it should not be changed.
 * Consensus among editors determines if there does exist a good reason to change the title.
 * If it has never been stable, or it has been unstable for a long time, and no consensus can be reached on what the title should be, default to the title used by the first major contributor after the article ceased to be a stub.

In particular this strikes me as very relevent:
 * Debating controversial titles is often unproductive, and there are many other ways to help improve Wikipedia.

Anyway - my feeling is that your approach to this matter is a little unkind and any change in title as you suggest would not only not be detrimental but also result in more unhappiness. I think turning our attention to new articles/pages filling in more of the gaps in our encyclopdia would better. An exapnsion of the section on the replica of the SSEM might be nice or even a new page as it might make the article to big. But in any case best wishes, (Msrasnw (talk) 18:20, 27 May 2018 (UTC))

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Jasper Carrott, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Graywalls (talk) 13:45, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

 * No, it is about almost every single one of your edit. this for example is NOT a minor edit. Looking through your edit history, you have been marking essentially EVERY single edit you make as a minor. The default setting isn't "minor". I am wondering if you're using an external software or a script in making your edits... If you read the page Help:Minor edit, then it is very clear that a lot of edits you make are NOT minor. It seems like that the same reminder I left you this May was not getting to you. Graywalls (talk) 01:17, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

Sadly we have lost the sources referencing Carter himself. Perhaps a note in the linked to article. (Msrasnw (talk) 13:16, 29 November 2019 (UTC))
