Klassieke Mechanica
Patrick, bedankt voor het zorgvuldig nalezen van grote delen van mijn tekst. Ik heb soms nogal de neiging om met A in lijn hoofd te zitten en toch B te schrijven. Dit is klaarblijkelijk gebeurd op verscheiden plaatsen van het hoofdstuk over "Centrale kracht", met de verwarring tussen parabool- en hyperbooltakken. --Huibc (talk) 16:45, 25 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Graag gedaan. Mijn complimenten voor je boek.


 * Wat betreft "de som van de twee massa's": als je die vermenigvuldigt met de gereduceerde massa krijg je het product van de massa's. Ik heb het kort opgeschreven omdat ik dacht dat je de uitleg voor de lezer er zelf bij zou willen zetten. Zeggen wat k moet zijn zo dat het precies klopt heeft mijn voorkeur boven zeggen dat het ongeveer klopt als de ene massa erg klein is, te meer omdat "G maal de som van de twee massa's" zo eenvoudig is.--Patrick (talk) 22:28, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Je hebt volkomen gelijk. Ik heb er ook mijn Goldstein nog eens op nageslagen. Ik heb het echter nog nergens in die vorm geformuleerd gezien. Groeten, --Huibc (talk) 10:52, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Gravitational potential equations added
Patrick, you added the following equations to Gravitational potential Thus we get:
 * $$V = - \frac{G}{R} \int (1 + \left(\frac{x}{R}\right) \ cos(\beta) + \left(\frac{x}{R}\right)^2\frac {3 cos(\beta)^2 - 1}{2} \ dm + ...$$
 * $$= - \frac{GM}{R} - \frac{G}{R^3} \int (\mathbf {R} \cdot \mathbf{x}) dm - \frac{G}{R} \int \left(\frac{x}{R}\right)^2\frac {3  cos(\beta)^2 - 1}{2} dm + ... $$
 * $$= - \frac{GM}{R} - \frac{G}{R} \int \left(\frac{x}{R}\right)^2\frac {3  cos(\beta)^2 - 1}{2} dm + ... $$

These equations seem to imply that $$ - \frac{G}{R^3} \int (\mathbf {R} \cdot \mathbf{x}) dm = 0 \. $$

I tried but I could not figure out why this is true. Could you explain how you got this result? RHB100 (talk) 23:07, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

 * To User:Patrick: I made the article better... cleaning up its format and adding some sources... but as it is a new film and does not yet have an English release, it will be neccessary to show Europen coverage in order to assert its notability.  I found what I could, but yes... it needs much more.  If you think that's enough... fine... but you might wish to request at the deletion discussion that it be userfied to you at User:Patrick/workspace/The Blonde with Bare Breasts for continued work.

Changing Template:Xsign to omit blanks
I have been asked by User:Xeno to remove the blanks from the username data in Template:Xsign. The problem has been the insertion of "&amp;#32;" before the username (such as: &amp;#32;XXX7) everywhere in the signature-line, as follows:


 * —Preceding unsigned comment added by &amp;#32;XXX7 (talk • contribs) 20:48, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Template:Country data Netherlands/doc
Hello, take a look at the recent change to Template:Country data Netherlands (that text was automatically generated). Does this solve your issue of not being documented as such? — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 18:39, 5 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, thanks.--Patrick (talk) 13:54, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Template:Flagc
What is the point of that? There is no need to link to an image description page from a 22 pixel icon. A flag gallery, for example, will use standard image syntax and thereby provide links to image description pages, but for icon purposes, that doesn't make sense. Further, it directly contradicts WP:ACCESSIBILITY principles, as icons would be read by screen readers like "flag of the Netherlands dot ess vee gee". This is precisely what the standard flag templates avoid through their proper usage. I don't understand what problem you are trying to solve. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 23:59, 6 August 2010 (UTC)


 * It is intended for pages where the flag is information, not just decoration, but where there is only room for a small image. I know there are flag galleries, but this is for pages giving an overview of various info about countries, including the flag. The image description page provides a large version of the image.--Patrick (talk) 00:05, 7 August 2010 (UTC)


 * If your recent edit to List of countries and dependencies by population density is an example of that, then your interpretation is the opposite from consensus usage. Flags have nothing to do whatsoever with the subject matter of that page (population density), but serve solely as a navigation aid to help people find country names.  There is strong consensus to remove the links to the image description pages from flag icons, from past discussions on the project talk page etc.  — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 00:12, 7 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Perhaps the name of that page needs to be changed. It gives also the population, the area and the flag.--Patrick (talk) 00:18, 7 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Or, remove the irrelevant flags.... Population and area are used to compute density, so their inclusion makes sense. But in any case, your new template is an "accessibility disaster" to quote an old discussion at WP:WikiProject Flag Template. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 00:25, 7 August 2010 (UTC)


 * In many cases the flags are not really one of the subjects of a page. The "accessibility disaster" was about those pages. For pages giving an overview of various info about countries we should not disable useful functionality. If necessary we can make a separate page without flags.--Patrick (talk) 00:35, 7 August 2010 (UTC)


 * I improved accessibility in accordance with WP:ALT, using alt="flag".--Patrick (talk) 10:14, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Operation and operator
Could you explain the reason for your edit of operation (mathematics), please? It seems to me that the two operations on a vector space are addition and scaling, while there are usually infinite number of operators, which are simply maps between vector spaces. &mdash; Kallikanzaridtalk 14:48, 20 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Any function is an operation, so a function between vector spaces is a special case.--Patrick (talk) 17:46, 20 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I thought you get an algebraic structure by fixing a few maps from a direct product of a set with itself n times to the set itself and calling them operations, all other maps you don't consider operations. Say you have vector spaces U and V, and then you consider an operator $$U \times V \to V$$, how is that an operation, on what set is it an operation? I don't like asking it, but do you have a degree in mathematics? &mdash; Kallikanzaridtalk 19:03, 20 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I am referring to what the article says: Thus, in the most general sense given here, operation is synonymous with function, map.--Patrick (talk) 20:14, 20 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I understand. I don't think that this is a correct definition, I'll look into it. &mdash; Kallikanzaridtalk 20:19, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

High impact coded template
Patrick, could you review the code for Template:Automatic taxobox? The template will eventually be used on hundreds of thousands of wikipedia articles. It has been in development for the past few months. However, it has a few squirrely aspects still remaining. Due to the high impact of the template, it should be reviewed extensively by someone with good template coding skills. Xeno recommends I ask you and User:Wikid77.

Find the target of a redirect?
Hey, you seem to know a bit about coding, so I figured you might have an answer here. If I want use code to grab the target of a page known to be a redirect, how would I do that? Bob the Wikipedian (talk • contribs) 04:33, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:Df


Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. — This, that, and the other (talk) 07:10, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Purpose of Template:Do for every Dutch municipality code/short
Could you please document Template:Do for every Dutch municipality code/short? Its purpose is very unclear. If you no longer feel it is necessary, you might like to nominate it for speedy G7.

While you're at it, would you be able to document Template:Do for every Dutch municipality code? It is extremely long and complex. Thanks, — This, that, and the other (talk) 11:00, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Public transport in the Netherlands
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Public transport in the Netherlands, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Transport in the Netherlands. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot (talk) 06:34, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Cuddling


The article Cuddling has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * If a cuddling section is needed it should probably be in the Hug article.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

language template again
Hi Patrick,

There's still a bug in the template, and it's beyond me.

If there is no iso3 field, then Template:Infobox language/ref seems to set it to the string. It would be nice if it would just return null, but I don't know how to differentiate as a field and  as a string. — kwami (talk) 22:33, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Ah, thanks. I'd tried that in the subtemplates, but not in the main one. Seems to work now. — kwami (talk) 22:49, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
