User talk:AvocadoI'm no longer editing Wikipedia daily. Please do not be offended if I do not respond to your comment immediately.
Stub tagsAvocado - don't add more than one stub tag to an article. →Raul654 18:14, Apr 30, 2005 (UTC) This discussion seems to have run its course, so I have closed it and drawn conclusions. It seems most people agree with your proposal, so well done! If you need help implementing it, let me know please. Radiant_* 09:38, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
Asthma requestHey Avocado - As per your generous offer on the Pre-clinical project page, I was wondering if you could take a look at Asthma, which has recently been the medical COTW and let us know what confuses you. That would be really helpful! Thanks :) Mr.Bip 21:27, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
When math articles are incompressible...Hi Avocado. Thank you for your nice thoughts on the WikiProject Math talk page. I added the paragraph discussed there to meromorphic function. I have one request. Sometimes for us mathematicians it is not obvious when something is not obvious to others. :) One suggestion I have is that when you encounter such an article with lots of math jargon, it is good if besides posting a {{technical}} template, to also go to its talk page and write a thoughtful paragraph or two about what you would want improved. This can take time of course, but it will be very helpful to people willing to improve on an article but not realizing what is not clear. Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov 23:16, 11 September 2005 (UTC) WP:CPHi, you've reported copyright infringements to WP:CP in the last week, a new measure was recently passed to allow the speedy deltion of new pages that are cut and paste copyvios. Please follow these instructions if you come across this type of copyvio. Thanks. --nixie 00:17, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
North American area codesUncle G's major work 'bot is about to move another ... er ... small hill. But a consensus is required on the naming scheme to be employed. Please review Category:Greek Area Codes, Category:United Kingdom area codes, and Category:North American area codes, and then contribute to the discussion at Talk:North American Numbering Plan#US-centric_area_code_page_titles. Uncle G 21:11, 19 January 2006 (UTC) Hello. I noticed that you are a participant in the WikiProject Preclinical Medicine. The article Connecting tubule has been nominated for deletion. As this is an anatomical subject I was hoping to get somebody within the project to adopt the article for expansion. I could find no way to add the article to this project. I hope you or your fellow particpants would consider adopting this article to love.

To compensate you for your time, I am offering a reward of USD$10, either to you or as a donation to the Wikimedia Foundation. For more information, please go to the research home page. Thank you. --WikiInquirer 12:29, 3 March 2007 (UTC)talk to me Film templateIt's the template that need emending, not its scope. Please read the actual template (not the stub box) - the Filmmaking project has been incorporated into WP Films as a task force, while WP Films now covers all film topics. Girolamo Savonarola 14:43, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
Tap water campaignDo you think that tap water campaign should be deleted? After all, it's a stub, and the author hasn't edited since creating and editing the article. At least one of the external links are POV, in my opinion. Just want your thoughts. --Kannie | talk 20:38, 18 December 2007 (UTC) Thanks and Happy New YearFirstly, let me wish you a very happy New Year and thank you for all your help in the Milhist Tag & Assess 2007 drive.
Secondly, although the Tag & Assess 2007 drive is now officially closed, you are very welcome to continue tagging and assessing until 31 January 2008. Any articles you tag and assess during this time will be credited fully to your tagging tally for further award purposes. Thirdly, if you can find the time, it would be good to have your feedback/comments on the drive at the Tag & Assess workshop Thanks again for your help, --ROGER DAVIES talk 10:48, 2 January 2008 (UTC) AWBYour application to use autowikibrowser has been been approved but please take care as you are getting used to the tool. Spartaz Humbug! 20:23, 11 January 2008 (UTC) GUCT A proposed deletion template has been added to the article GUCT, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the New! BCAD drive from MilhistCan I invite you to particpate in our new assessment drive? It's strictly for experienced wiki-gnomes and has a degree of friendly competition built-in. It involves re-evaluating around 3500 Milhist B-Class articles to ensure they match our new criteria. As ever, we're offering a range of awards as our way of expressing our thanks. The drive doesn't start until 18:00 (UTC) on March 10 but you can sign up in advance here. It would be great if you can spare the time, --ROGER DAVIES talk 05:33, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
News! Tag & Assess 2008 is coming ...Milhist's new drive – Tag & Assess 2008 – goes live on April 25 and you are cordially invited to participate. This time, the task is housekeeping. As ever, there are awards galore, plus there's a bit of friendly competition built-in, with a race for bronze, silver and gold wikis! You can sign up, in advance, here. I look forward to seeing you on the drive page! All the best, --ROGER DAVIES talk 10:58, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Unref taggingCan you please stop tagging articles with the {{unref}} template when there's no content that needs to be verified with public sources? This is stupid. Thank you. Tasc0 It's a zero! 03:14, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
(Asked to comment by Tasc0.) Please understand WP:V. Statements such as "X is an album by Y, released on DD-MM-YY" are unlikely to be challenged, and stubs containing that information do not need tagging. Nor should they be speedied, as you suggest. Please do not tag until you fully understand the policy you are tagging per. Thanks, dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 00:02, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Your js monoscript is on the unassessed bio list - why?Could you please take a look at the Category:Unassessed biography articles? Your javascript (monobook.js) is showing up on the top of the list for unassessed biographies. I have looked at the code in the link but can not figure out why this is happening. Please review it and get it off of the list. If you can not, please alert an administrator to take a look at it. Thanks, C.

Please see Political subdivisions of Wisconsin. I personally feel it unneccesary to put orphan tags on articles about local units of governments. Thanks-RFD (talk) 21:59, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
[unindent] I've removed several kilobytes of community names. You may note that I've not removed any Maine communities, as Maine doesn't have any county templates (yet :-) Nyttend (talk) 14:10, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
[unindent] By all means, yes, please. Bibb City is an exception: I've looked at it before, and it doesn't get a template because it's part of another city. Nyttend (talk) 22:42, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
Winthrop, ME, etc.I'd advise just leaving a comment on his talk page: he's been around for two years, but all his edits (except two) have been made this month, so he's probably misunderstanding those templates — I myself don't view it as him just deleting templates, since the edits you showed me plainly demonstrate that he thinks he's deorphaning them. Nyttend (talk) 13:07, 29 June 2008 (UTC) MaineI've placed templates on all Maine communities that I can find, including all on the long orphans page that you've done so much on, and all that are on your page that you extracted for me. Since you said that you created that subpage for me, and since I have no more use for it, would you like me to delete it? Nyttend (talk) 13:09, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
OrphansSome articles are linked from List of New Testament uncials, and Categories of New Testament manuscripts, but this is another list, although looks like article. But article Codex 2427 is linked only from one list. Leszek Jańczuk (talk) 14:22, 14 July 2008 (UTC) On fr-wiki and ru-wiki one link is enough (someone removed tag, not me). On pl-wiki orphans are not marked. It is also good an opportunity to read an articles, if the subject is interessting for me, and improve language. Leszek Jańczuk (talk) 14:36, 14 July 2008 (UTC) Orphans, tooYes, it was me! Thanks a lot for your welcome message, anonymous Avocado!

RE:OathI thought I had replaced the stub tag with a more relevant one. My internet cuts out sometimes(thank you college internet access). It must not have saved my changes. Undead Warrior (talk) 21:37, 28 August 2008 (UTC) Re: de-orphaning Library of Congress listsI reverted those 5 edits. I'll put an exclusion in for pages starting with "Library of Congress Classification:". Are there other patterns also? -- JLaTondre (talk) 02:06, 29 August 2008 (UTC) Official Welcome :)Glad to see you're finally official! --Aervanath lives in the Orphanage 16:08, 30 August 2008 (UTC) Wisconsin townsHi- I was wondering if you came across any more Wisconsin towns articles that need templates. I came across the town of Waupun article-Fond du lac County that needed one. Also some editor redirected an article about the town of Hartford in Washington County, Washington to the city of Hartford article same county. I had to ask an administrator to revert that change. The ongoing problem is that people want to merge Wisconsin town articles with the corresponding articles about Wisconsin villages-cities. The Wisconsin towns are separate municipalities along with the cities&towns. If there is any Wisconsin towns that needed templates please let myself know. This is also includes articles about Wisconsin cities-villages-unincorporated communities. Again my thanks-RFD (talk) 13:58, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
Orphaned pagesThe reason why I removed to orphaned article template from the articles are listed below:-
Please could you respond to my usertalk page regarding what happens to articles which only link to one or two pages due to the nature of the content on the page. -Dreamweaverjack (talk) 21:00, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
De-orphaning library of congress, continued--Hey. I was just reading up on the Library of Congress, saw the tag about deorphaning the classification pages (like Library of Congress Classification:Class Q -- Science), and logged in (I try not to...too addictive...) to remove the tag because I can't imagine that there would be any reason for anything in the entire universe except the other Library of Congress classification articles to link to it. This is a very, very specific-purpose article. If there are some new rules about deorphaning that I'm not familiar with (possible), could you let me know? Because I think otherwise labeling these is counterproductive in that they'll never be cleared. Thanks. (I asked User:JLaTondre first and he suggested I bring this up with you.) 18:47, 8 October 2008 (UTC) On a BreakI'm going to be largely ignoring Wikipedia for a while, since I don't need the extra source of stress in my life. Please do not be offended if I do not repond to your comment immediately. -- Avocado (talk) 13:32, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
Hope you come backHey, we noticed you haven't been around en.wiki for awhile, so you've been moved to the WikiProject Orphanage Inactive list. We hope you'll come back, move your name back to the active list, and get back to de-orphaning real soon! Aervanath (talk) 18:42, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
I've sort of taken over coordinator duties of the Orphanage since Aervanath's departure. I too hope to see you add your name back on the active list. -- Ϫ 05:32, 6 December 2010 (UTC) You are now a Reviewer Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010. Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages. When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here. If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

Merger proposal at Bluffton Beavers footballHi Avocado, I see you're not especially active these days, but I noticed you tagged Bluffton Beavers football with a merge request almost a year ago without starting a discussion section on the talk page to argue the proposal. Are you still interested in seeing that merge happen? I'm inclined to remove such stale tags, but I wanted to first see if you wanted to carry forth with that one. Also, if you're interested, I'm trying to forge a codified approach to stale merge tags at WT:Proposed mergers#Proposals without discussion. Thanks! I'm with the new WikiProject Merge, and settling this general issue would go a great way to helping us manage our massive backlog. Best, BDD (talk) 23:33, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
Hi, Possible removal of AWB access due to inactivityHello! There is currently a request for approval of a bot to manage the AutoWikiBrowser CheckPage by removing inactive users, among other tasks. You are being contacted because you may qualify as an inactive user of AWB. First, if you have any input on the proposed bot task, please feel free to comment at the BRFA. Should the bot task be approved, your access to AWB may be uncontroversially removed if you do not resume editing within a week's time. This is purely for routine maintenance of the CheckPage, and is not indicative of wrongdoing on your part. You will be able regain access at any time by simply requesting it at WP:PERM/AWB.

Heaviside conditionGreetings. With regard to the Heaviside condition, it is a hypothetical curiosity that no transmission line has ever come close to meeting. It is one of my back burner projects to "fix" that article. R/L = G/C seems cool, except R and G are strong functions of frequency and L becomes a strong function of frequency if you add any magnetic material. It is simply impossible to meet the Heaviside condition over any appreciable frequency range. And then there is the problem that G/C is about 8 orders of magnitude less than R/L. You just cannot change any of these parameters that much. The following is copied from my sandbox: Loaded cable - Heaviside condition The loaded cable section discusses the Heaviside condition and shows approximations that are valid for cables operating under the Heaviside condition. However, no practical transmission line was ever operated under the Heaviside condition, hence the mathematical approximations are not valid for a typical loaded line. I intend to cut that section back to what is true. That means most of the section. The plot shows impedance ratios for a typical coaxial cable with three different dielectric insulations. The good curve is typical of modern high quality foam insulation. The medium curve is typical of gutta-percha. The low curve is typical of pulp insulation. The blue curve is the ratio R/(ωL). At low frequency, R is a constant dominated by the dc resistance, RDC. In the low frequency domain, R/ωL decreases as 1/ω. Around 100 kHz, skin effect becomes dominant and R/ωL decreases as 1/ω0.5 The red curves are G/(ωC). At very low frequency, G is a constant dominated by the dc conductance, GDC. In the very low frequency domain, G/ωC decreases as 1/ω. At some low frequency, which depends on the dielectric, loss tangent takes over and G/ωC→loss tangent, which is more or less a constant. The Heaviside condition is satisfied where the blue curve touches a red curve. Loading the transmission line increase inductance. The effect is to push the blue curve toward the left.

Italian LTAThere is a person using Italian mobile IPs targeting articles about towers and buildings who is engaged in long term abuse, they are not sincere, they frequently engage in vandalism with sometimes non-vandalism to confuse people. Every edit they make should be reverted. It's been almost daily for months. User_talk:93.147.210.61 first section they wrote. I agree about conversion to templates as it makes it easier to spot their vandalism, one of their favorite edits is removing those templates. -- GreenC 14:54, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
