Nuclear power phase-out

Why do yoy propose these countries? They are not even considering nuclear phase out. --Trigor 08:47, 19 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Marcel Duchamp

Hey again Sparky. Just wanted to say your Duchamp article looks pretty good. Ben ^T/_C 05:56, August 18, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, Ben! It looks like it might be rather long. Though, I think I'll make a separate article for readymades. Most of the Duchamp images will likely be deleted from wiki soon, since they're on commons as public domain.

BTW: the "art factor" we discussed earlier... check out The Creative Act by Marcel Duchamp. (1957)

>>sparkit|TALK<< 17:38, August 19, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the link. I just read it. So it was "art coefficient" and not "art factor." I found the text at the installation in Yokohama a bit more inspiring than that text though.

I had some free time to thoroughly read the Duchamp article and some of the "sub"-articles (a lot of which you created I noticed). I had a very good time.

The article is not that long as you say. I saw you have still a lot of material you want to add about Chess playing, readymades, etc. I think it's only getting more interesting and if it gets too long that's what wikilinks are there for, right?

I found it extremely interesting to read about the speculations that his readymades were not really readymade. If that's the case and he didn't tell anybody then it's really a great joke! I put the image of Da Vinci's Mona Lisa next to his Mona Lisa in the Duchamp article. They differ a lot actually. Please do more readymade articles, if you can. I want to read about Mona Lisa (Duchamp).

BTW, please wikify your contribution page. You make it hard for people who actually want to read what you wrote.

Ben ^T/_C 05:41, August 20, 2005 (UTC)

Yes, there is a lot more to add to the article and readymades will definitely be a separate article. Thanks for your interest and support! >>sparkit|TALK<< 15:19, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

Nuclear energy policy

Hello

Thank you for your comment about Nuclear "phase out" copying to nuclear energy policy. First of all I would like to explain myself. All in all two paragraphs have been copied to nuclear policy article. One is part about Netherlands. I copied it because old one was just an old version of nuclear phase out paragraph that I updated and moved to policy page. I do believe that that article is good for energy policy. I think that that one is an exception. For example it would be wrong to move Sweden as article on policy page deals with several aspects. Not just phase out. I felt that Netherlands paragraph could be moved there.

Second one was about nuclear security. Security standard. Again it was copy of old version from nuclear phase out or vice versa. That one can apply to both articles. In other words arguments against phase out and for nuclear are more the less the same. Same goes for vice versa. That is not truth however for other parts of the article.

--Trigor 11:51, 22 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I see your changes make sense.

I am under pressure of people who want to merge and split the two articles all the time so I am very cautious to keep them apart a little, though they have to be written more or less in parallel, with different foci - not an easy task. My idea was to have all the info first in nuclear power phase-out and then move relevant parts to nuclear energy policy and summarize them in nuclear power phase-out. Ben ^T/_C 05:07, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

Hi Ben. I meant notify you about this the other week (but forgot) - Four Corners, a reputable Australian Broadcasting Corporation series, had a programme on nuclear energy, or specifically, the contrasting debates about it in Sweden and Australia. You should check the "Who's Afraid of Nuclear Power?" transcript. It might be of some assistance. Happy editing, --Cyberjunkie | Talk 06:38, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Karl Kraus

Hi! I noticed that the Karl Kraus english page is really poor, while the german one it way better. I think this huge author deserves more, can you translate some of it? I'm starting to work to the italian version, but I can't speak German. --Mauro 22:41, 11 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I put some more. Ben ^T/_C 18:25, 12 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

link to scale

At scale space you created one or more links to scale. Since scale is (as you would of course expect) a disambiguation page, it would be better to link to one of the articles listed on that page. Michael Hardy 23:18, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the hint. I changed the links so they point now to more appropriate articles. Ben ^T/_C 00:35, 20 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

{{unreferenced}}

Thank you for adding a related book to article on Ukiyo-e, however, there is a difference between references - which as been used to provide facts for the article - and further reading, which has not. See Wikipedia:Cite sources for more information.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 03:39, 25 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comment, Piotrus. I am not sure, whether it is right to just search for some references (and on-line in amazon.com what is more) as I have done. However, the Wikipedia:Cite_your_sources guide is not completely clear about it. On one side (from the word) references are from where you cite. Then (on the other side), references are where other people can verify the information, similar to external links, but not the same (do you agree on the two meanings?). With this latter sense in mind I put the book as a reference. I also think I saw this practice with some other article (forgot where). A problem is, conceded, I don't know the book. But then, I think, the information in the article is general enough to be found in nearly any book on the topic (and the book I put seemed reasonable enough). What do you say? Ben ^T/_C 11:30, 25 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I admit I was once confused as well, and added sources to references without actually reading them. Now I know better, and I try to teach others that there is a difference. A source which may contain useful info, but has - to the best of one's knowledge - not been used in the article, should go either to 'Further reading' or 'External links' (or 'See also'). 'References' is only for sources that have been cited in the article, and the best practice is to link the relevant facts from main body to the reference via Wikipedia:Footnotes.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 16:01, 25 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Piotrus, you wrote:

A source which may contain useful info, but has - to the best of one's knowledge - not been used in the article, should go either to 'Further reading' or 'External links' (or 'See also').

Leaving the concrete case aside (where I even don't know the source), the guidlines in Wikipedia:Cite_your_sources are not that strict: (citing)

In general, even if you are writing from memory, you should actively search for authoritative references to cite. If you are writing from your own knowledge, then you should know enough to identify good references that the reader can consult on the subject — you will not be around forever to answer questions. The main point is to help the reader and other editors.

I don't want to argue about the specific article (ukiyoe), but I want to get this straight for me personally (and I think it is very important for your project also). I hope you don't mind my insisting. Thank you. Ben ^T/_C 17:31, 25 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I guess rules may need some improvement. My rule of thumb is if you are pretty sure it is a good reference, explaining most of the issues of the article, you can add it even if you had just read the abstract. Google Print is pretty helpful here. However, as I wrote above, what we should idealy strive for is referencing every fact with footnotes (but I realize it is quite impossible now, so I am adding this tag to the articles lacking sources, not those lacking footnoted sources). With educating you about our references and you adding this book to ukiyo-e, my effort has already paid off somewhat :)--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 17:47, 25 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm. I agree with what you said about footnotes. As for ukiyoe, I'll hope we'll find a book. I will search some more. I wish you success with the project. It is surely worthwhile. Thanks for the clarification. Ben ^T/_C 21:00, 25 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Neural Networks organisation

Hello there, I saw your edit and comment and so I was wondering what is your opinion on the current Neural Networks article. I made some improments (I hope) recently - and I added as extensive sections as I dared on neural networks in AI-related applications and on the modelling of real neural systems. Do you think I should remove some of the AI related stuff from this article and move it over to ANNs? --Olethros 23:37, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think the article should be not much more than a disambiguation between artificial and biological neural networks (the reviewer from nature was probably ignorant about wikipedia and the artificial neural network article, he was supposed to review instead). The article could contain something about the history of ANNs and a comparison between artificial neural networks and neural networks, nothing more. IMHO, the article now contains far too much technical information about ANNs that belong in the ANN article.

I think your edits were very helpful in clarifying the language, shortening the paragraphs, and adding references. :) --Ben ^T/_C 12:59, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Male1979. This is Male 1977 (older, so you better listen :) I have a question about this edit.

I see you got it from ja.wikipedia.org, but it would be better if you could state where they got it from. Most users on en don't understand japanese, so if you're able to get the authorship information from that site it would be a great help. Matt 11:07, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tanzania

Where'd you get the info on the history of Tanzania from? It seems like a huge addition to the main page. Most main pages of countries that I have seen have short history sections. I was just wondering if it would be O.K. to move the information to the History of Tanzania page. Thanks! Darth Panda 02:06, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, there are way too many images on the list and it's hard to verify each one, hence the request for the tag by the uploader. Again, thanks for your prompt reply. Tawker 05:44, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ben,

I was reading on nuclear powers where I saw you have contributed a lot and wanted to praise you for your good work, but later decided to delete it. Are you an expert on the issue? You seem like you know a lot on this subject.

I am new with Wikipedia, just learning, I would like to contribute also in some topics, will see.

Me.. I am a college student at the Georgetown Uni., living in Alexandria, Virginia, majoring International Business, you?

Keep up the good work.

Karl May

Interresting ... althaugh that is probably a question of the scope of that category.

Are you involved with the cs wiki? It looks like they have a lot of Karl May related pictures. Agathoclea 19:39, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

sensory substitution

It seems you originated the subject article.

A bit of history: in 1963 I worked for Carter Collins at the Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute as did a young (then) Dr. Paul Bach-y-Rita, whom you credit with the TVSS.

I moved on to the development of the RIAS (Remote Infrared Audible Signage) and remember our excitement at starting with what clearly was a flawed premise in the area of sensory substitution. There were numerous devices before and since all of which have a mistaken set of assumptions about sensation.

However from the POV of a wikipedia editor I thought you might be interested in that history.

Love.

Request on Zatoichi talk page for an explanation of your recent edit

I don't know if you're watching the page, but in case you're not, a user has [Talk:Zatoichi#his_trade|asked] for an explanation of why you changed "masseur" to "bone setter" in that article. Do you think you could pop over there and reply? — Haeleth Talk 12:09, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit on my User page

I appreciate the intention and I realize it was a tiny edit, but please do not make edits like that on User pages. It is permissible to do things like fix links. I sometimes will disambiguate a link or make a link direct on a User page, and a couple of times I have corrected factual errors involving me. However, in general, a User's page is their own, within broad limits. Rarely, users might post illegal things on their User pages or post attacks against other users or groups of people, and these have to be removed, usually by an Administrator. In the specific case here, I reverted your edit because an article can't appear on the Main page, they are too large, so only small entries from them or links to them appear. I note that your User page uses almost identical wording to that which you changed on mine, i.e. "the entry". Hu 21:24, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Untagged image

An image you uploaded, Image:Sofia gerb.png, was tagged with the {{coatofarms}} copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image.

If you have any questions, ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. -- 01:02, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Hitler and Siebengebirge

You're the one who worked on both Adolf Hitler and Siebengebirge. Can you answer a question for me? Do you know if A. Hitler ever attached significance to the Seven Hills near Linz, as a comparison to the seven hills of Rome? I've heard that he wanted to turn Linz, Austria into a new Rome and cultural capital of Europe. I'm trying to track down if there was a connection there. If you have any information on this, it would be appreciated..64.48.134.17 19:02, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're right that I worked on both articles, but if there exists such a connection that you describe, I have no idea about it. I can only point you to Welthauptstadt Germania as new German capital and cultural center. --Ben ^T/_C 22:55, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. That article is about Berlin, though, not Linz. The Linz article includes a couple lines about how Hitler wanted to rebuild Linz and make it into a cultural center. It doesn't mention the hills, though.

If Hitler could see that modern art museum at the bottom of the page, he'd probably spin in his grave. :)

Interesting fact about Linz. I couldn't care less about his ashes, though. --Ben ^T/_C 09:26, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

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 (or very recently had) 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, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.

For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 21:10, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Tokyo topo 1977.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Tokyo topo 1977.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to [e-mail], stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [e-mail].

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy.

Better source request for File:Tokyo topo 1977.jpg

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

• File:Tokyo topo 1977.jpg

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 03:09, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there M'79, AL from Portugal "speaking",

i "defend" myself: ideally, we should have just two main sections in a player/manager storyline. If you go with CLUB CAREER and INTERNATIONAL CAREER, then coaching stuff should be inserted in whichever is the situation (a guy could be coaching a club, or a national team).

You could, however, opt by going with PLAYING CAREER and COACHING (or MANAGER) CAREER, in that way we always have two sections instead of three. Regards, happy editing --AL (talk) 13:05, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Nautilus Pompilius (band)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Nautilus Pompilius (band) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 removed 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 deleting administrator.

Heute in Plankstadt

Hi, der Artikel um den es für :de geht, ist TOID, hat aber null Eile. Zu Loveholidays gibts bei :en noch keinen, insofern vermag ich nicht einzuschätzen, ob der auf :de die Relevanzhürde schaffen würde. Es gibt die Category:Hotels bzw Kategorie:Hotel und, nur bei :de, zusätzlich die Kategorie:Hotelbau. Mein Artikel zum einzigen Parish in London ist Queen’s Park (City of Westminster). Wenn ich es mal nach London schaffe, will ich mir das auch mal anschauen. Soviel fürs erste. Kallewirsch (talk) 13:04, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Normal conditions

The article Normal conditions has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Wikipedia is not a dictionary - there are no indications that this is any sort of well-defined concept in any field of study, "normal conditions" is just a phrase people like to use in a variety of different contexts.

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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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. - car chasm (talk) 06:23, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Very much appreciate the deletion. This was my attempt to see how effective the review process is. Ben ^T/_C 17:04, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
