German occupation of Luxembourg in World War I
I didn't delete your reference. I integrated it into the article using the appropriate template (Cite web), which - as you can now observe - has a function to link to both the original and archived versions. I very much appreciate your checking that link and finding the archive link for it. Bastin 11:01, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I had seen that you had used the "cite" template. No problem, but that was not the issue. Perhaps you had not noticed, but not only did I create an archive (yes I created it, did not just find it), but I also repaired the original link. Actually the repair was quite simple as all the site has done is changed the file type from .html to .php. If you substitute .php in your template you will find that the link now works. I suggest you still retain the link to the archive though, in case the site moves or changes the page again.

Spinningspark (talk) 12:57, 25 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I apologise; I hadn't noticed that. I've since noted it and changed it back to the original.  With cite, it is deemed superfluous to have an archive link when the current link works (even though there is a function to add archival quite easily, so I've simply changed it to the original using the link to the *.php page as you correctly noted is the now-live link. Bastin 17:04, 25 December 2007 (UTC)


 * - Don't you have some Christmas dinner to eat? Merry Xmas!
 * Citing sources encourages putting the archive URL in the reference. I certainly don't see anywhere saying it is superfluous.  Kind of makes it hard to find if you were to need it don't you think?

If the user adding the material to Wikipedia is the original author of the material, then they need to prove that (the instructions are here). If the copyright issue is cleared up then the material cannot be speedy deleted but we may end up at another deletion discussion if someone still doesn't think the festival is notable.

Ye Art Cordially Invited to the Annex
Hello, My good Fellow, listen and I shalt telleth Ye a Tale of a Wiki that well comes All Manner of Articles relating to Fiction. What is This wonderful Place of Fantasy, You ask? It is the Annex, Haven to All fiction-related Refugee Articles from Wikipedia.

Before nominating or proposing a fiction-related Article for Deletion, It is My sincerest Hope that Ye import It to the Annex. Why do This, You wonder? Individuals have dedicated an enormous Amount of Time to writing These Articles, and ’twould be a Pity for the Information to Vanish unto the Oblivion where only Administrators could see Them.

Here is a Step-by-Step Process of how to Bringeth Articles into the Annex:
 * 1) Ye shall need at least three Browser Tabs or Windows open. For the first Tab or Window, go to Special:Export.  For the second, go here .  (If Ye have not an Account at Wikia, then create One.)  Do whatever Ye want for the third.
 * 2) Next, open the Program known as Notepad. If Ye haveth It not, then open WordPad.  Go to “Save as,” and for “Encoding,” select either “Unicode” or “UTF-8.”  For “Save as type,” select “All Files.”  For “File name,” input “ ” and save it.  Leave the window open.
 * 3) Next, go to the Special:Export Window at Wikipedia, and un-check the two small Boxes near the “Export” Button. Input the Name of the Wikipedia Article which Ye wish to import to the Annex into the large Field, and click “Export.”
 * 4) Right-click on the Page full of Code which appears, and click on “View Source” or “View Page Source” or any Option with similar wording. A new Notepad Window called “index[1]” or something similar should appear.  Press Ctrl+A to highlight all the text then Ctrl+C to copy it.  Close your “index[1]” Window, and go to the Notepad “export.xml” Window.  Press Ctrl+V to paste the text there, and then save it by pressing Ctrl+S.
 * 5) Now go to the Special:Import Window over at the Annex. Click on “Browse…” and select the “export.xml” File.  At last, click on “Upload File,” and you are done, My Friend!  However, if It says 100 Revisions be imported, Ye be not quite finished just yet.  Go back to Wikipedia’s Special:Export, and leave only the “Include only the current revision, not the full history” Box checked.  Export That, copy the Page Source, close the “index[1]” Window, and go to the “export.xml” Window.  Press Ctrl+A to highlight the Code all ready There, press “backspace” to erase It, and press Ctrl+V to pasteth the new Code There.  Press Ctrl+S to save It, then upload once more to the Annex.  Paste   at the Bottom of the imported Article at the Annex, and Ye art now finally done!  Keepeth the “export.xml” File for future use.

Thank Ye for using the Annex, My Friend — the Annex Hath Spoken 01:43, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Duplicate images uploaded
Thanks for uploading Image:Combination Puzzle 7x7 sliding piece.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:7x7 Sliding Piece Puzzle.jpg. The copy called Image:7x7 Sliding Piece Puzzle.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads.

Black holes
Have you cleared up that doubt about the formation of black holes you said you had? The one that if black holes are constantly sucking matter but we, from our frame of reference, would see that matter just touching the event horizon forever, how can they actually grow? I'm wondering exactly the same thing. --Taraborn (talk) 11:40, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Not really, I might take it up with some of the editors who actually know about the mathematics of the subject one day. But for now I am staying away from the Helpdesk question as this discussion is not really answering the OPs question. Of course, none of this would exclude black holes being formed in some other way, it is only gravitational collapse of a star that is at issue here.  Sp in ni ng  Spark  11:55, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Your posting re Wiki Trust
Not sure why you commented as you did on my user talk page. Yes, I posted a link to the Wiki trust site, but I don't know anything about the "Wiki Trust Mailing Group" that you mention, and I'm not associated in any way with the work being done on this concept.

antilogarithm
antilogarithm should redirect to logarithm or to exponential function rather than to exponentiation, because it is the inverse to a logarthm, and the same thing as an exponential function, but Nth root is the inverse to exponentiation. Do you know how to fix the redirect? Bo Jacoby (talk) 21:35, 3 February 2008 (UTC).


 * Yes, I can fix it, but do either of those articles actually mention antilogarithms?  Sp in ni ng  Spark  21:44, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

1989/S Club
"Kind of almost an article" still isn't an article. The main point of the rule as I understand it isn't for verifiability reasons, it's to avoid a slippery slope with notability. Seeing as how there are even arguments not to allow every person with an article on the birth lists, letting those without articles is sketchy. Then there's the issue of how much about them needs to be in another article to qualify, which is subjective. Those lists are already quite long and will likely be trimmed in a couple years anyway. --TM 06:47, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply Could you have a look the formula on the root mean square page? I looked at it and thought I remembered it differently. And yes, it should have been P(av) I copied that out wrongly. I can't get the math symbols to work so I tried to put it in words. (They display fine, but if I copy them into something I want to post they disappear for some strange reason.) Thanks for clearing things up. Lisa4edit (talk) 14:43, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

From your message: The correct formula is;

P_{av} = V_{rms} \times I_{rms} \times \cos{\phi}

From root mean square

P_\mathrm{avg} = V_\mathrm{RMS}I_\mathrm{RMS}.\,\!

From my old notebook

P(effective) = U x I x cos{phi}

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:2-cube.png}
Thank you for uploading Image:2-cube.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:
 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Orphaned non-free image (Image:4-cube rotated to missing view.png)
 Thanks for uploading Image:4-cube rotated to missing view.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Re:Name changes
Hi Spinningspark - thanks for your recent note on my talk page (I have replied to it there). I'd like to talk to you about Mihajlo Idvorski Pupin, for which you reverted to the full middle name page title. Beyond what I explained on my talk page, there are several things that I'd like to point out in this particular case:


 * 1) The middle name is sometimes written as Idvorsky vs. Idvorski - choosing one in particular doesn't make sense, where a middle initial seems to be a better fit.
 * 2) The page here on the IEEE Edison Medal clearly uses a middle initial, not a middle name, as an initial is common for a U.S. scientist/engineer.
 * 3) Google hits for a full middle name "Mihajlo Idvorski Pupin" yields significantly less hits than the middle initial version.

Based on the reasons above, I'd like to move the page back to "Mihajlo I. Pupin". I'd like to hear your thoughts. Thanks! --Jiuguang Wang (talk) 20:18, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Math notation style
Hello. You might want to notice these differences: Generally in non-TeX mathematical notation, variables get italicized (but digits and punctuation don't) a minus sign differs from a hyphen, and spaces precede and follow "+", "=", minus signs, "<", etc. Hence n-dimensional, with n in italics, but 5-dimensional, with no italics. All this matches TeX style; in TeX it's taken care of by the software. (But "inline", as opposed to "displayed" TeX often is not a good idea in Wikipedia since it gets misaligned or fails to match sizes, etc.) See Manual of Style (mathematics).

Your Messages
Ok, first of all the date removal was a (minor) oversight on my part, I was contemplating moving the tag to try to encourage the much needed improval of that article, then reconsidered and the date was lost at some point. Just to put your mind at ease, I am well aware of the purpose and addition of date tags. As for the redlink, perhaps it could stay, it seemed a little messy at the time especially as a relatively small scottish firm, I judged that it would probably be better stylistically for there not to be a link. As a very very minor change with little consequence, I didn't write out my train of thought in the summary.

The purpose of a navigation template is to help people, well, navigate, around the articles.  It is completely useless to put anything in there that does not link to an article.

 * A patent in itself does not make it notable in the Wikipedia sense (but it helps). The Rubik cube is widely written about in the press, there are peer reviewed mathematical papers about it and there is a recognised sporting organisation.  Can you say any of that about Calender cube?  Can you point to a single newspaper article about it? (not adverts).  I still think that a mention in another article is better.

Alternative Userbox - User Exact Age
Hi Spinningspark, I noticed you commented on the talk page for the Template:User exact age template.

I have created an alternative userbox for the exact reason you had in your comment, which can be found at User:Relyimah/UserBoxes/User_Exact_Age. Feel free to use it. Cheers! &mdash; Relyimah(t-c-e) 01:42, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you for finding the error on my userpage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by InfiniteCenturion (talk • contribs) 00:50, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Murphy drip

 * Your Murphy drip article received more than 10,000 page views while on DYK. That's the fifth highest total this month -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Cbl62/sandbox3 .  The hook was a great one.Cbl62 (talk) 20:37, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm using the same User:Henrik view data you referenced. The chart that we've created is just for the month of June.  If we did one for May, I suspect your N-dimensional sequential move puzzles article would be close to the top.Cbl62 (talk) 21:51, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Number sign
"Number sign is not an article"

There is an article about the number sign. Your last revert was pointless as "mesh" is another name for the number sign (as stated in the article) --Btx40 (talk) 14:21, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Question
What is the OP? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.169.7.9 (talk) 07:15, 9 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I have no idea what your question relates to, but OP stands for Original Poster if that's what you meant. OP is the person who started a conversation thread.  Sp in ni  ng  Spark  23:02, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice
Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

I like what you've done...
...with the linked userbox directory or whatever you call it (first encountered on another's User page that led me here). I'm considering adopting & adapting it, if you don't mind, though am still thinking over the drastic change. Meanwhile, the infobox atop this page is so true...I hardly know whether or not to borrow it! Yours in solidarity -- Deborahjay (talk) 07:46, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for your help with Religion Newswriters Association. I didn't want to revert their changes myself since that would see like edit warring and article ownership. Keep up the good work. Steve Dufour (talk) 13:32, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Link
I posted this link in the Rubik's cube artcle because it contained info on Rubik's cubes. To view this information you do not have to register. Would you let me post a link directly to thread so you do not have to navigate to it. --Hunter209 (talk) 19:52, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for casing trouble and thanks for clearing up the rules--Hunter209 (talk) 22:29, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your contribution on a much-neglected area, but I left some comments regarding your DYK nom. Please visit the suggestions page. --BorgQueen (talk) 02:51, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Amongst Friends
As unlikely as it may seem, the details you questioned in the article Amongst Friends are directly supported by the source provided. "Shooting on location in the Five Towns, the crew was so strapped for cash that when Mr. Weiss opened a bag of Doritos for a scene in which he (in a brief appearance) smokes pot with a group of disaffected youths, he found little torn-up triangles of yellow cardboard. 'I was like, we're making a film, and you don't have enough money for a bag of Doritos,' he said." (see here). Alansohn (talk)

I think...
that the user: 24.62.205.66 (talk), is a disruptive user. If you look at the user contributions associated with this IP address, there is only this one disruptive edit to the article thunderstorm. I have left this user a message, and there is no reply, so I assume this user never visited Wikipedia again, and only came to make one disruptive edit. Do you think the same thing? -- IRP (talk) 20:31, 21 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, probably. There's a lot of them like that.  Forget about it and move on.  Sp in ni  ng  Spark  20:38, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
