Japan/Costa Rica without army

I don't read Spanish, but believe your source is incorrect. Here's a link to the constitution of Japan, promulgated in 1946 and enacted in 1947, which abolishes any war-time force. http://history.hanover.edu/texts/1947con.html I can't find a source that compares the two directly, and am not that familiar with wikipedia mores to try an edit again. Can I entrust you with this one? I'll check back in in a couple weeks. Cheers. -Matthew —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.144.183.24 (talk) 07:23, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Thanks for droping by and clarifying. Indeed I will check the facts and make the correction if supported. My understanding is that Japan has a peace-time army for defensive purposes only, CR none, but sure I will check on that one, only give me some time since I am right now in the middle of something else.--Mariordo (talk) 11:35, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • • Wiki has this issue well documented, see Japan Self-Defense Forces, List of countries without armed forces, and particularly read Defence policy of Japan for the interpretation of the Japanese constitution you brought as reference. I hope these articles clarify the issue.--Mariordo (talk) 16:51, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • Hi, thanks for looking into it. For further clarification, I think there's absolutely an argument to be made that Japan today has an army. More precisely, the Japan Self-Defense Forces page states that in 1950 the government created a National Police Reserve, which could reasonably be called an "armed force." But it also states that after 1945, Japan had zero military capability, and as you know this was constitutionally prescribed in 1946. What I'm pushing for is that even if Japan recreated its army in the 1950s, the statement "Costa Rica was the second country to constitutionally abolish its armed forces" holds true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.144.183.24 (talk) 08:58, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        • You made a good point, but it is kind of weird because Japan was without army for only for 9 years, CR still does not have one today. A good solution will be simply to state that CR constitutionally abolished its army in 1949, and delete the "first" part. However, I think we should move this discussion to the CR Talk page to give other editors the opportunity to comment and bring more facts. I will do so copying this entire section. Let's continue over there.--Mariordo (talk) 13:19, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hong Kong

Hi, I did try to discuss Hong Kong in the talk section ages ago but no one replied. If you had looked at the table properly, you'd have noticed that Hong Kong was not removed, but rather moved to the "selected regional markets section" given that it's not a country but rather a region of China. It makes more sense for it to be there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.238.40.176 (talk) 04:56, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Cite tool

Hi, which cite tool do you use for filling refs with CiteWeb format ?. I use reFill when an article has 5-10 unfilled refs and if I have the time, but I would like a similar tool that fetches the ref data directly when adding content. TGCP (talk) 17:38, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi TGCP. Since I have been around on Wikipedia for several years, early on I made my own templates for the most used cite types on the default Windows Notepad (no format), so I do a manual cut and paste from this external file, and complete/fill as required. Any tip about existing tools is welcomed. Cheers.--Mariordo (talk) 14:33, 19 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I did that too but I am tired of it. I have installed User:Zhaofeng Li/CiteGen in FireFox. Just click on the {{}}-button in the menu line, and it makes a Cite from the webpage. It's not perfect, and I am still learning, but it seems to improve the process. TGCP (talk) 16:43, 19 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Best would be to simply use the mouse to drag a tab into the edit window at the precise point in the text, and a ref would be made with wikilinks to the article about the source. FX, NY times . Oh wishes. TGCP (talk) 16:46, 19 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tesla Model 5

Hi, just wanted to discuss the self-driving reference you're making. The Tesla Model 5 is a Level 2 vehicle which is incapable of self-driving. This is supported by Elon Musk, his directors, and all expert sources. Self-driving requires level 4.

Much of the media is either being sensationalist or is ignorant of what self-driving actually means. We should work to be specific on wikipedia. Thanks.

All the reliable sources say it was in self-driving mode when the accident happens, you are confusing autonomous driving with just level 4, there are four or five levels by official definition of NHTSA and SAE, check the corresponding section in autonomous car. The Model S is between level 2 and 3, as explained and supported by reliable sources in the Tesla Model S article, see section about Autopilot. Level 3 requires the driver attention. So please stop removing content supported by reliable sources and consistent with the technical definition of autonomous vehicles.--Mariordo (talk) 21:46, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edits to "electric car use by country" regarding Estonia

Hi, @Mariordo: really appreciate your hard work sir.

I made the edits to the electric car usage article because I believe the vocabulary was flawed, but found you reverted them in your later edit. You said "40 to 60 km or no more than 60 km are not exclusive" in the reasoning for your edit, which I fully agree with. The problem I have with what was\is written is the grammar surrounding the usage of the word minimum in the "at a minimum distance between 40 to 60 km" statements.

First, minimum truly means smallest value. One could legitimately say there is a minimum of "40 to 60 km" and mean there are two locations in the whole country separated by 40 or so km. Sometimes minimum does get twisted to mean "at most", and common sense suggests that must have been the intention by the original references and thus our text. But "maximum" or "at most" or "no more than" are much cleaner words to be clearer on meaning.

Even more vital, there really can't be multiple minimums, at least without some kind of explanation suggesting they come about in different ways. The minimum (and maximum) temperature today were a specific and single value. If there are different minimums in different places\situations (such as on major highways versus secondary highways), then that should be indicated, or the greater value should be used for simplicity (probably best given it's a big expansive article subject).

Just seeking to make positive edits and improve meaning where possible. I gave my best try at researching the intended meaning through additional articles and changing the wording, but I certainly don't know the true setup in Estonia well, so perhaps since you are avid in the electric car circle, you know it better, and can better clarify the language. But as it sits, I'm set that the meaning is hazy in the words used. If you are uncertain or disagree with my viewpoint, perhaps one of us can ask a question at English or ELL Stack Exchange for a wider opinion. Sorry to distract from your busy editing, appreciate the heavy work you do.
To God be all glory alone, thanks again,
Shane (JeopardyTempest (talk) 12:24, 7 November 2016 (UTC))[reply]

Coincidentally, the Electric Vehicle Network article uses the phrase "at intervals of no more than 60 kilometres", for what it's worth. I'm about precision. So if worst comes to worst, perhaps we measure on http://elmo.ee/charging-network/ to get the true value. Though there's probably better ways we could each use our time!
Thanks again,
Shane (JeopardyTempest (talk) 12:24, 7 November 2016 (UTC))[reply]

Go ahead and restore your edit, but please, rmv the source talking about 40 to 60 km, and add any additional sources you consider necessary. Cheers.--Mariordo (talk) 01:23, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

We need to talk

For some time now, I have been trying to combat bloat in numerous articles related to electric vehicles. Editors like @Wtshymanski: have recently been deleting a lot of the kind of material I have been flagging as being overly promotional and sales or shopping oriented, or simply overly-detailed bloat. It's obvious that most of this deleted content was written by you. But you have not participated in any of the discussions of this, such as when multiple articles were de-listed from Good Article status as a direct result of your additions. You don't seem to be aware that large quantities of text that you have added is being removed en masse.

It's time for there to be a discussion about this with you and several editors working on automobile and electric vehicle articles. I would guess that Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Automobiles or the WP:ANI noticeboard would be appropriate. Do you agree? --Dennis Bratland (talk) 04:36, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I opened a discussion in the talk, where it belongs, so consensus should be reached either way. And I am aware you are removing content in mass, I just do not think it is worthwhile to spend my time in Wikipedia arguing, but your last removal was too much. Just look how the article electric car use by country was badly chopped, with a lot of non-encyclopedic language and technical errors. Cheers.--Mariordo (talk) 04:40, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

3RR warning

--Dennis Bratland (talk) 05:22, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please engage the discussion in electric car, seek consensus for your interpretation of pricing, there is no need to remove content while the issue is being discussed, be civilized.--Mariordo (talk) 05:25, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Table in Electric car use by country

Hi, I noticed you removed the table in "Statistics" in Electric car use by country. In my opinion, data written in table format and editable graphs are better than charts in pictures, since numbers can be reused and they can be easily updated. Maybe it would be better to keep the table, update it, add an editable chart, and remove the pictures. What do you think? --Ita140188 (talk) 07:33, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, I will restore it soon. Just notice that this table has two types of info, the PEV stock and the market share, which btw duplicates some of the content in the table below (I will just update the table with the market shares). Thx for dropping by and cheers.--Mariordo (talk) 14:50, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Electric car

your revert was not needed, there article doesnt define why electric car is battery car. The definition at start isnt enough , if there is no explanation why electric car is battery car, we can use that electric car in other eletric car articles aswell, why battery eletric car has right to use that name only?? of course article needs explanation for that -->Typ932 ^T·C 15:19, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Typ 932. By stating that is an electric car with a plug (plug-in electric vehicle) it can only be a BEV. Check the definition of PEV. Cheers.--Mariordo (talk) 21:31, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Peace Dove Christmas

Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, peoples rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension.

Happy Holidays. ―Buster7 ☎ 23:29, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Plug-in electric vehicle into Environmental aspects of the electric car. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:46, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Diannaa, thanks for the reminder. I am the sole author of the text that was copied (with the intend of leaving just a summary in the original article which is too long). I indeed tagged the talk page anyway, check here. Cheers--Mariordo (talk) 21:51, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Electric car use by country table

Hello, thank you for your work on electric car use by country. If data is available, it would be interesting to add a column for PEV stock percentage over total car stock of the country. --Ita140188 (talk) 15:57, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I thought of that one too, but total stock for 2018 is not available for all countries, and even for the U.S. different sources report different values. Once finished I will try to do it at least for the larger countries. Cheers.--Mariordo (talk) 16:52, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Task force climate change

Hello Mariordo,

You are currently noted as a participant of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Environment/Climate change task force. With much of the activity in this task force about ten years ago, I think it's time for a revival. Global warming is getting a lot of attention in the media now and it's therefore important our articles are up-to-date, accurate and neutral.

I've updated the task force page and the to do list and invite you to have a look at the page again, add something to the TO DO list or start collaborating by improving one of our many articles. If climate change has lost your interest, feel free to remove your name from the participants list.

Proposed deletion of List of modern production plug-in electric vehicles

The article List of modern production plug-in electric vehicles has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Nowadays the list is impossible to keep up to date as there must be thousands of them. Even if you could keep it up to date it would be far too long.

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.

Tourism numbers

I see now that I have misunderstood your reference to page 8.

There is, however, a note at the number 89, stating that it is the number for 2018. So we do not have a 2019 nuber for France. Regards! --T*U (talk) 16:54, 27 January 2021 (UTC)C[reply]

Rejuvenate WikiProject Skepticism

Hello - my name is Susan Gerbic (Sgerbic) and I'm writing to you because at some point you joined Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism. This might have been months ago - or even years ago. With the best of intentions the project was created years ago, and sadly like many WikiProjects has started to go dormant. A group of us are attempting to revitalize the Skepticism project, already we have begun to clean up the main page and I've just redone the participant page. No one is in charge of this project, it is member directed, which might have been the reason it almost went dormant. We are attempting to bring back conversations on the talk page and have two subprojects as well, in the hopes that it might spark involvement and a way of getting to know each other better. One was created several years ago but is very well organized and a lot of progress was made, Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Skeptical organisations in Europe. The other I created a couple weeks ago, it is very simple and has a silly name Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Skepticism Stub Sub-Project Project (SSSPP). This sub-project runs from March 1 to June 1, 2022. We are attempting to rewrite skepticism stubs and add them to this list. As you can see we have already made progress.

The reason I'm writing to you now is because we would love to have you come back to the project and become involved, either by working on one of the sub-projects, proposing your own (and managing it), or just hanging out on the talk page getting to know the other editors and maybe donate some of your wisdom to some of the conversations. As I said, no one is in charge, so if you have something in mind you would like to see done, please suggest it on the talk page and hopefully others will agree. Please add the project to your watchlist, update your personal user page showing you are a proud member of WikiProject Skepticism. And DIVE in, this is what the work list looks like [1] frightening at first glance, but we have already started chipping away at it.

The Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Participants page has gone though a giant change - you may want to update your information. And of course if this project no longer interests you, please remove your name from the participant list, we would hate to see you go, but completely understand.

Thank you for your time, I hope to edit with you in the future.Sgerbic (talk) 07:17, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team
