Speedy deletion nomination of Chessplus


A tag has been placed on Chessplus, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. Oaktree b (talk) 00:16, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Wizard (chess)


The article Wizard (chess) has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Obviously non-notable"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Teahouse
Hey, MoH! It's great that you've discovered the teahouse; it's a great place for new users to ask questions. But as a new user yourself, you probably don't have enough experience to be answering questions there yet. It's better if you just read the questions and see how other more experienced editors answer them. Valereee (talk) 11:29, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

Nomination of Wizard (chess) for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Wizard (chess) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Wizard (chess) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished. JBL (talk) 17:39, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

Please be more careful at the Tea house
Hi, The Master of Hedgehogs, I think it's really great that you want to help out other users, by leaving responses to Tea house questions. And it was especially nice of you to leave a Talkback notice on the page of an IP user in this edit, to let them know their question had a response. However, unfortunately, you're sometimes giving incorrect advice, such as the ones about shortcuts, and vandalism, which later have to get corrected by other users. Please be more careful with your responses at the WP:Tea house, and research anything you're not certain of. Pro tip: be aware that certain words that mean one thing in English (like, say, vandalism, reliable, or notable, and many others) have special meanings at Wikipedia, so it's crucial to understand what Wikipedia means before you give advice using any of these words. The Glossary may sometimes be of help there. Thanks for your contributions at Wikipedia! Mathglot (talk) 19:05, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violating the non-free content policy, as you did at User:The Master of Hedgehogs.

 * TMoH, you should assume that anything you find on the internet is under copyright until proven differently. Wikipedia takes copyright violation extremely seriously, so "I didn't know that the file "Baba is you gameplay.gif" was copyrighted, okay?" doesn't fill us with confidence that you'll be more careful in future. What we want to hear is something closer to "Oh, shit, I had no idea! Sorry! Won't do it again!" Valereee (talk) 17:40, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

 * I’m not sure you understand copyright yet, particularly not as WP applied things like the Non-free content criteria. Courcelles (talk) 03:29, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

I think this request says most of what we need to hear, but I'd like clarification on one point: How do you plan to distinguish between files that are free to use and ones that aren't? -- Tamzin  &#91;cetacean needed&#93; (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 02:45, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

 * ... and? -- Tamzin  &#91;cetacean needed&#93; (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 17:34, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
 * ...and look at the "Licensing" section of the page.
 * - The (now exiled) Master of Hedgehogs. 21:35, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay. I see this as an adequate response to the reason for the block. Do you have any objections to an unblock, with an understanding that any future copyright issues will lead to a reblock? --  Tamzin  &#91;cetacean needed&#93; (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 08:06, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date).

Control of user talk pages
I saw your edit reversing an IP editor's blanking of the user talk page. Just so's you know, this is perfectly acceptable practice as outlined at Ownership and editing of user pages; when a user deletes those messages, it is deemed that they've read them. Even years' worth of "Stop!" warnings can be wiped away. There are exceptions with block notices and other administrative posts. Cheers. signed, Willondon (talk) 23:58, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Helpful illustrative images
Took me too long to put this together, but as promised on my talk page:

It's impossible (with how much and how often pages change substantially here) to find two images I'm looking for to illustrate the above; instead, I will do the best I can to swiftly provide you with a visual underscoring the legitimate use of the adjective "enormous" in relation to the Boss 429 engine's valve covers. It is a member of the "385-family" engine series, the successor to the "FE-family" of "big block" Ford V8s. I can't find any image of non-Boss 429s to demonstrate their relative valve cover size, or any in the entire 385-family, but here are two sample images that will demonstrate the disparity between a normal V8 valve cover and the Boss 429's:

That (on the left) is how narrow a typical head is, with a correspondingly narrow (chromed) "valve cover" that covers the head. The aluminum valve cover on the Boss 429 engine (which has a much wider head than any other 385-family engine, because of its racing-bred semi-hemi configuration) is easily twice the breadth and perhaps triple in "mass" (or volume) of a typical big block V8's. This is because it takes a much larger head to accommodate semi-hemispherical combustion chambers than typical flat-topped ones (think enclosing a row of four halved oranges, or grapefruits versus four flat tin can lids of the same diameter.)

As a result of its heads (and other features detailed at the article) the Boss 429 is literally an "extreme" engine, designed to challenge the dominant Dodge 426 Hemi (see image here) in NASCAR racing

In order to "game" the system (which all manufacturers did, and NASCAR depended on) extreme engines like it were built specifically for racing, but (to "pretend" they were still "stock engines" to qualify for what is still euphemistically called "stock car racing") they had to "homologate" them by rule...meaning the manufacturers had to sell a minimum of 500 examples to the general public to prove they were actually "street legal" as sold.

It was all a dance. And resulted both in numerous valuable technological advances and some excesses that just made short-term money or gained fleeting prestige, driving the NASCAR addage "Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday" 2601:196:180:DC0:6CF9:C4BA:3B4:9DEB (talk) 15:21, 28 March 2024 (UTC)


 * I just took a moment to go outside WP to find an example of a non-Boss Ford 429 engine to compare valve covers with. If you click here you will see an example of the most rarified non-Boss 429-series engine, the "Super Cobra Jet 429".  Which even though the most powerful and expensive 429 made but for the Boss, was a purely "civilian-duty" true stock (i.e. legitimately "off the shelf") motor.  As you can see, it has a "tiny" (yet perfectly normal for a standard big block V8) valve cover compared to a Boss 429 because it had "normal" non-racing heads.
 * So long as I'm in this deep, I'll chance it's worth it to go the proverbial "extra mile".  The distinguishing aspect of "hemis" (that both makes them so powerful and expensive) is precisely their hemispherical combustion chambers, which allows a piston driven against it to ever more powerfully compress a combustible air-fuel mixture ever more densely into an ever smaller volume as it forces that mixture up into the ever decreasing volume of the "dome" of the hemisphere.  In contrast, a cheap, easy to build normal head has a simple flat combustion surface, resulting in a piston compressing the fuel mix into what amounts to the top say 1" of a coffee can, or soup can.  Which has no "dome" to concentrate the volume and density of the fuel mixture nor the power of its detonation.
 * Obviously, it is much more expensive to manufacture (or mill from billet) hemispheric recesses into a a very large piece of metal instead of what amounts to scoring plain flat shallow "tin can lids" (so to speak) as combustion chambers. And (you may be amazed to discover) it takes a much more complicated (and much larger) "valve train" to cope with valves placed along the radius of a hemisphere compared to those covering what amounts to just so many holes in a flat plane, with hemi head valve stems spread like old "rabbit eared" TV antennas when arrayed over a radius, instead of neatly vertical (and parallel with one-another like a row of sentries) on a standard head.  That's why the heads both get so much "thicker" (to accommodate 3-D hemispheres) and "wider" (to contain valves "splayed out" over a radius instead of a flat plane), and thus any valve cover enclosing the exposed top of a head gets proportionately larger...and, ultimately, enormous relative to one covering a non-hemi head (as in the picture linked in this latest post).
 * All this, over an oversensitive algorithm that (obviously) looks for words like "awesome" and "amazing" and "enormous" as red flag indicators of likely vandalism. Yours, 2601:196:180:DC0:6CF9:C4BA:3B4:9DEB (talk) 16:07, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the explanation! - Master of Hedgehogs (converse) (hate that hedgehog!) 16:31, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. A final word on the exceptional properties of hemi-heads (why they're so expensive, are so much larger, and perform so much better than "normal" flat-topped ones) is that the surface area (as opposed to volume, as discussed above) of a hemisphere is much greater than a flat plane (a circle, or "tin can lid") of the same diameter.  This allows for valves (arrayed radially, as above) over that curving surface to be much larger than those crowded within the confines of a simple flat circle.  This increases the engine's ability to "breathe", to "respirate" (very much as analogous to how a mammal does, rich air in, spent air out), enabling it to draw more volatile fuel mixture in, and exhaust it out (and restart the cycle) both more rapidly and in greater volume than normal-sized valves can, resulting in more power being created out of a given cylinder volume.
 * Combined with greater compression of that fuel mixture (resulting from being able to compress a similar volume of it into the ever-decreasing recess of a hemisphere's dome, delivering a more powerful detonation), the greater "breathing" of a hemi-head far outperforms a standard head. With a further potential enhancement, that much greater hemispherical surface area allows not only larger valves but more of them - as many as five instead of two (as geometrically you can actually get more total surface area (and thus a greater volume of gas passing through it) from multiple small circles than just two large ones), a combination of three intake and two exhaust appearing to a practical maximum (as other aspects of the "valve train" get correspondingly more complicated).
 * All of these benefits (and more) have been applied since the 1970s to downsizing engines without compromising power to both improve fuel economy (and thereby consume less contentious petroleum) and decrease pollution (helping minimize carbon footprint, atmospheric particulates, and all the rest). Once a very expensive "ego-driven" luxury, the hemi engine has become a very good friend of Man over time. 2601:196:180:DC0:6CF9:C4BA:3B4:9DEB (talk) 13:47, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

I notice you just undid my morning's work. Could you give me a quick pointer as to what I was doing wrong? For context, the previous version was based on a public domain book by Alan Fea published in 1908. The material I'm using is based on the research archive and published work of the late Michael Hodgetts who was unanimously regarded within the small world of Catholic Historians to be the authority on the subject. 62.31.29.48 (talk) 13:15, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Your warnings to IP editors
Hello. I've opted against simply using a template, but your warnings to editors are problematic, and your response to an IP editor here when they questioned your actions was less than ideal. The warning templates are generally unnecessary for those who have made good-faith edits that you simply disagree with, such as the above-linked IP, as well as 62.31.29.48. Finally, please actually read the warning messages you get from the edit filter. Your actions at User talk:121.55.229.30 were a clear violation of the userpage guideline, specifically WP:NOTWALLOFSHAME. Editors, even IPs, are fully allowed to remove any content they wish, at any time, from their user talk, and the assumption must be that they have read it (with limited exceptions as spelled out on the guideline page).
