earthquake prediction
This discussion is referring to User:Wikinaut/Moon-Earthquake-Theory, 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, 2005_Sumatran_Earthquake and Earthquake prediction.

Wikinaut, please don't add User:Wikinaut/Moon-Earthquake-Theory material to 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake or Earthquake prediction. There is no scientific consensus that astrology based methods can predict earthquakes. Furthermore, regarding the alleged prediction by Indian scientists, there is no mention of this in the general news media, apart from the one article in an Indian newspaper. There needs to be confirmation that such a prediction actually took place; so far there is none. -- Curps 03:59, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)


 * There are more references, see my permanently updated page and please study the older scientific papers in the second, more generally reference section -print them and study them, please. --Wikinaut 07:40, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Wikinaut, you need to provide proof that these guys actually made the prediction they claim to have made. You need to provide a reference to some magazine article or newspaper or Usenet newsgroup posting or something that constitutes a clear public publication of their prediction and proof that this prediction was made before the event and not after it. Anyone can pretend to have made a successful prediction, we need to see proof that they actually did so.

If this can't be provided, the whole claim of prediction is unsupported. Please don't try to add the material back unless you can provide a footnoted reference or link to where this alleged prediction was published.

I have looked at the links you posted, and there is no satisfactory proof of any kind. Supposedly a report was presented on December 22 to the "Department of Science and Technology, New Delhi"... this is very vague. Was this the department of some university, and if so, why is no university named?

Why have the big reputable Indian newspapers not picked up on this story? Say the Times of India for instance. Does the University of Madras geology department endorse or support these guys (I don't know, the university website seems to be down)?

I think the story about an alleged prediction is simply not credible. -- Curps 08:26, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)


 * I have also found this http://www.12thharmonic.com/wordpress/index.php?p=577 about their publication in the 12hharmony blog, which was copied by someone not me from http://astroturf . uni. cc/ (read this too) to that blog. I am not a blogger, so I did not know, how to use or trakc these blogs - I found the 12hharmony posting by a google search yesterday. --Wikinaut 08:28, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)


 * I agree with you, that we need some proof, that they really have sent to USGS and NASA and the others. But the published article "Planetary constellation.." was published in spring of 2004. --Wikinaut 08:30, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)


 * Wikinaut,
 * Sorry for not replying sooner. You say you have a copy of the letter that those guys claim to have sent to the USGS and NASA and others.  But with no acknowledgement from USGS and NASA that they received such a letter, there is a big problem with knowing if it is genuine or not.  -- Curps 08:53, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Thirteen years later (and Curps is long gone), but in light of your recent edit I will again ask you: please don't add User:Wikinaut/Moon-Earthquake-Theory material – or links to it – to any article. Your theory is entirely fringe, and does not belong on Wikipedia in any place. Ping me if you have questions. ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 00:58, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

I support you Wikinaut !
Knowing Curps and his protective nature on his site, I fully empathise with you as Curps has been unkind to me too. kenkam 04:32, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Bug reported for ownCloud android app
Hi, I don't know if you are the same Wikinaut who has reported a few bugs on GitHub for the Android app for ownCloud, but that user has no contact info in their GitHub profile so this seems to be my next best hope. I just wanted to tell you that my experiences with the trunk/development version of the Android app have been very bad (I can't speak about the server, I've never used anything but the latest patched stable version). What's more, as the app has been further "developed" in the last month in particular, it's only gotten worse. I have been maintaining my own fork on Gitorious, and I worked on it extensively during the month of June, and got it vaguely to where I wanted it and to where it didn't have stupid crashes and bugs in it. A week or so ago I tried to merge the upstream development into my fork, and ended up failing miserably. After I tried doing that, I tried using a pristine copy of upstream, which has only gotten worse. I have tried reporting a few bugs regarding the most egregious errors in the app (such as the fact that, until a few days ago, you couldn't re-download updated files from the server), to make the merge burden on my fork lighter and generally be a good open source citizen, but of the three bugs I reported, two have been ignored and the third the developer claimed that he had fixed when he had not. I've more or less decided to maintain my fork mostly independently and stop bothering with upstream, given the caliber of code that has come out of there recently and their attitude towards bugs filed.

If you are interested, my fork is on Gitorious, and my username is ~andrewjamesbarr. I make no promises, but at least for now, it seems to be doing what I need it to do. 24.58.147.197 (talk) 14:57, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes. You can contact me personally by mail. --Wikinaut (talk) 15:11, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
