Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Displacement Ventilation has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer be able to have them marked as minor by default. For more information on what a minor edit is, see WP:MINOR or feel to get in touch.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 21:20, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

OER inquiry
Hi, I'm sending you this message because you're one of about 300 users who have recently edited an article in the umbrella category of open educational resources (OER) (or open education). In evaluating several projects we've been working on (e.g. the WIKISOO course and WikiProject Open), my colleague Pete Forsyth and I have wondered who chooses to edit OER-related articles and why. Regardless of whether you've taken the WIKISOO course yourself - and/or never even heard the term OER before - we'd be extremely grateful for your participation in this brief, anonymous survey before 27 April. No personal data is being collected. If you have any ideas or questions, please get in touch. My talk page awaits. Thanks for your support! - Sara FB (talk) 20:49, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

thermal comfort
HI, you say "Removed sentences based on not high quality peer-reviewed journal publications"


 * https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0216362


 * https://www.researchgate.net/publication/280698071_Energy_consumption_in_buildings_and_female_thermal_demand

these publications are not good enough? --Vatadoshufrench 15:45, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi Vatadoshu, the effect of sex/gender on thermal comfort has been studied in hundreds of peer-reviewed publications. The selected peer-reviewed papers are just two of many. In these types of situations, it is good practice to cite a literature review or even better a meta-analysis if available. I suggest using: Karjalainen, Sami. “Thermal Comfort and Gender: A Literature Review.” Indoor Air 22 (2012): 96–109. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1600-0668.2011.00747.x. SSchiavon 09:14, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

the 2 i had posted are more recent (2019 and 2015). Ok, it is a but it is old (2011). And i don't think that because it is not a "meta analysis" that it has no value. If so, you shoyld suppress all the sources on ncbi study that are not meta analysis. So what i wait that one day a meta analysis speak about these recent studys...to post on wikipedia. i don't think it is in guidelines. Vatadoshufrench 14:11, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

today, the reference for women used for thermal comfort is a man of 40 years and 70kg https://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/04/science/chilly-at-work-a-decades-old-formula-may-be-to-blame.html?smid=tw-nytimes&_r=0&utm_source=affiliate&utm_medium=ls&utm_campaign=hL3Qp0zRBOc&utm_content=486358&utm_term=1&siteID=hL3Qp0zRBOc-MXrLVS9G_CJrvroO6YDyxg but thermal comfort wikipedia article indicate nothing about a reference range for thermal confort for women. there are articles and study. but just you need something that i don't have (a meta analysis). you prefer an article with nothing. continuing the error saying 20 degrees is enough for women. :( Vatadoshufrench 14:31, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi Vatadoshu, in science a newer paper is not necessarily a better one. One could argue that the opposite could be often correct. A single paper, if confirmed by others, would be valuable if there are not much papers in the literature on that topic. The meta-analysis or the literature review, if properly done, is superior to a single paper because it puts together the results from many papers. In the specific case, the article from Nature has been criticized and, even if properly done, is one perspective in the field. You can read something about it https://www.mcmorrowreports.com/ashrae-rebuts-original-study-nyt-story-about-why-women-are-cold-in-offices-in-the-summer/ and https://www.rehva.eu/fileadmin/REHVA_Journal/REHVA_Journal_2015/RJ_issue_5/P.12/12-13_RJ1505.pdf. You may also like the short post we wrote: https://medium.com/@tom.parkinson/are-thermostats-really-sexist-cd9c7dc2558a Peer-reviewed publications and conferences should be the best place where this issue is discussed and solved. In Wikipedia, it is better to mainly report the prevailing agreement. SSchiavon 00:54, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
