Can you do 1001-gon?
. Otimaomo24 (talk) 20:36, 13 March 2023 (UTC)


 * There are lots of polygon articles being deleted or redirected. But if you have source articles that explain its significance. I see 1001 is 13x11x7. Tom Ruen (talk) 00:24, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * So it is not classically constructible, if that's the question. —Tamfang (talk) 06:21, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring. Thank you. Sideswipe9th (talk) 21:21, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

Knock off the personal attacks
Comments like these are not acceptable, especially when dealing with a contentious topic. Focus on the content, not the contributor. You've certainly been here long enough to know how to edit civilly, so please do. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:24, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
 * When you see crap articles and the person defending them, it is hard. Ideologues are real people, and they have agendas. Denying that is hopeless. Tom Ruen (talk) 23:25, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Continuing personal attacks is not the way to proceed here. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:35, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Great job deleting hist versions of the article showing possible improvements. Tom Ruen (talk) 23:37, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

April 2023
 You have been blocked from editing from certain pages (Women's Declaration International) for a period of 72 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:33, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Now others can see the horrible article as undefendably bad. Tom Ruen (talk) 23:35, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
 * You can civilly discuss your objections and issues on the article talk page. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:36, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Great job deleting my edit revisions. We wouldn't want people to be able to look at possible improvements. Tom Ruen (talk) 23:38, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Revisions that contain copyright violations are routinely deleted. In fact, that is the first listed acceptable use of revision deletion. See WP:RD1. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:41, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
 * The only thing I added that could possibly be a problem was a list of Declaration items. I reduced to a single sentence to try to make it acceptable. Actually linking to the source is useful, unless you're an ideologue onyl writing content to demonize it. Tom Ruen (talk) 23:43, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Last warning on civility. Maybe take a break for a while, or have a cup of tea. You've been here for a very long time with a clean block log, and I don't want to sully it more than I already have. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:48, 21 April 2023 (UTC)


 * I saw the reason for blocking as unjust, so I spoke up as any self-respecting person would do. Tom Ruen (talk) 23:18, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

May 2023
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use an article talk page for general discussion, as you did at Talk:Martine Rothblatt. You have been on Wikipedia since 2004, which is before some of our other editors were born. You know how things work around here perfectly well. Your trolling was entirely deliberate. You have been blocked for similar behaviour before. I see no reason to make this anything less than a final warning. --DanielRigal (talk) 15:37, 28 May 2023 (UTC)


 * I know. Trolling truth is still trolling. Truth is not allowed for special people who have special protections against factual reality. The emperor may have no clothes, but no one but children are allowed to say so, and they will be properly punished. Tom Ruen (talk) 15:38, 28 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Are you really going to throw away your almost two decades old Wikipedia account by behaving like this? I hope not. That would be truly sad. You don't have to do this. Please, just drop the WP:STICK. --DanielRigal (talk) 15:45, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

Am I free to editorialize on my own talk page? I see you are allowed your gender-cult biases against reality. Tom Ruen (talk) 15:46, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Are you OK? You used to edit constructively but now you are making personal attacks and getting into trouble over complete nonsense in a way that you never did before. Back when you tried to get Women's Declaration International spuriously deleted I was moved to speculate on the AfD that maybe your account had been compromised. I now doubt that is the case as you are still editing your mathematical essays but clearly something has changed radically, and very much not for the better. Please ask yourself honestly, are you OK? A lot of people are not. Please seek help from appropriate sources if you need to. Your behaviour isn't helping anybody, least of all yourself. --DanielRigal (talk) 15:57, 28 May 2023 (UTC)


 * I've stayed the same. (Articles that can't be corrected for bias because cult editors have control are best deleted.) The cult thinking on Wikipedia and elsewhere in society is what changed. Of course there will be pushback when cult-beliefs take over institutions. And it is all dangerous, and the clarity for a NEED of pushback only increases every time we see censorship of facts is the rule. Groupthink is always bad, but worse when a group has social power to enforce it. Society won't survive these lies. Tom Ruen (talk) 16:01, 28 May 2023 (UTC)


 * I think it is pretty clear who is engaging in cult like thinking here but I'm fully aware that there is absolutely no way for me to persuade you of that if you are not willing to consider the possibility. If you will just lay off the personal attacks and disruptive editing then we can just leave it here. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia after final warning then you know what will happen. --DanielRigal (talk) 16:13, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Reality must be a cult then, recognizing biological reality matters and defending sex-base boundaries. But the troubled cult can only exist in people who deny reality and use their power to silence others who are not in the cult. It'll reverse eventually, but I'm unhappy how much will be destroyed because the left can't police its own cults. We can check back our mutual assessment in 2030. Tom Ruen (talk) 16:25, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

 You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for making personal attacks towards other editors. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

Notice that you are now subject to an arbitration enforcement sanction

 * As you're already blocked, and I'm trying to let you edit areas where the are no issues I'll give you a warning rather than just blocking you for a longer time. Your topic ban applies to all edits anywhere on-wiki, including your talk page. Your post below is a violation of the topic ban. Hopefully this warning is clear enough. You cannot make any edit to any page that deals with gender related controversies or disputes anywhere on Wikipedia. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:38, 29 May 2023 (UTC)


 * That sounds fair. Does that mean the 7 day ban wil be lifted? If so, thank you. Tom Ruen (talk) 17:48, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
 * You have an open unblock request where you're referring to other editors as ideologues and have two topic-ban violating ChatGPT outputs that you posted after my warning directly above. There is no chance of an unblock while you continue personal attacks and flagrantly violate your topic ban. Additionally, due to your doubling down on topic ban violations three hours after you acknowledged the warning directly above I'm extending the block another thirty days. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 11:17, 30 May 2023 (UTC)


 * I've never seen such behavior. I see no personal attacks. I see opinions that should be reasonable to express. I don't see the purpose in this power you are exercising. Tom Ruen (talk) 11:27, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

Happy things
Weee! Congrats, Tom!

A present to you, another kitty, hope you have fun with him too, for your contribution for eclipse Articles

RazorTheDJ (talk) 20:58, 27 June 2020 (UTC) 

I hope you don’t mind me giving you some advice
I see that you have been blocked for making personal attacks, but that none of the admins involved has told you how you have been making personal attacks. This is in WP:NPA, which includes: There is no rule that is objective and not open to interpretation on what constitutes a personal attack as opposed to constructive discussion, but some types of comments are never acceptable: Abusive, defamatory, or derogatory phrases based on race, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, religious or political beliefs, disability, ethnicity, nationality, etc. directed against another editor or a group of editors. Disagreement over what constitutes a religion, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability or ethnicity is not a legitimate excuse. You have been referring to people with certain views on transgender matters as ‘cult editors’ and ‘cultists’. I am (very much!) not an admin, but I think that that is what got you blocked. You are now subject to a GENSEX ban. These are broadly construed – so do not mention anything to do with gender, transgender, sex, sexuality, sexual orientation anywhere on Wikipedia. This includes your own Talk page. Please don’t get yourself indefinitely blocked. Best wishes Sweet6970 (talk) 11:55, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Tom Ruen (talk) 20:38, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Solar eclipse of July 1, 2011


The article Solar eclipse of July 1, 2011 has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Although this is the closest we have to the start of a new sequence, this eclipse occurred only in the ocean and is therefore of no scientific value."

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. Q𝟤𝟪 23:41, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of February 1933 lunar eclipse


The article February 1933 lunar eclipse has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "The eclipse was too small to be of scientific interest."

 * Tomruen is currently on a temporary block so he won't be able to address these issues. Rather than put multiple of his articles up for PROD would it be possible for you to make a list of all the eclipse articles you think are not sufficiently notable (whoever made them) and put them all on a single AfD? That way it can be discussed by more people and we won't risk any possibility of valid or fixable articles getting deleted by default. Maybe I am being overcautious here but lets not risk it. --DanielRigal (talk) 00:01, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I was just about to say something similar. There's no rush on these, no BLP or promotional concerns, so I'd appreciate if you let it ride for a bit or bring them to AfD. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:04, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

File:Lunar eclipse from moon-2022May16.png
I reverted this file back to its previous revision for consistency. Per COM:OVERWRITE, a major change to a file should be uploaded as a separate file instead of a new revision. If you're unable to upload the reverted revision (as a separate file) I have it downloaded, so I can reupload it if necessary. IPs are people too 🇺🇸🦅 20:16, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

astronomical diagram request
Harmonic Convergence

Maybe I'm confusing this with another date, but: I remember cranks warning of super earthquakes because all the planets would be "aligned", and astronomers saying don't be silly, they're spread over like 150 degrees of arc.

Could you easily add to that article a diagram of where the planets were on that date? —Tamfang (talk) 00:18, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Tetrads in this century
Hi Tom

In your graph you show seven tetrads in the 21st century, but there are eight. See here. By the way, I just added a graph to Tetrad (astronomy). Eric Kvaalen (talk) 11:30, 25 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Graph from . I wonder if it is a technical limit of definition of shadow limit, total versus near total? 2601:447:CE00:89B0:451A:BD94:4E7A:249D (talk) 04:11, 26 December 2023 (UTC)


 * I've figured it out. According to Canon of Lunar Eclipses, 1500 B.C.-A.D. 3000 by Liu Bao-Lin, the catalog of Meeus (used in the link you provide) categorizes the eclipse of April 4, 2015, as partial when in fact it was total. So the tetrad of 2014-2015 was not counted by Meeus. And he has one too few total umbral eclipses in this century -- there are 85, not 84. If you reply, please Ping me.
