Flux (disambiguation)Re Talk:Flux (disambiguation), it would be much better if the article's lede was just improved and we could use the lede. I tend to mainly edit dabs and computing at the moment. It's not clear to me what you're referring to about an intensive property, or from your wording, intensive viewpoint? Widefox; talk 11:33, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
Undelete pleaseCould you please undelete, or move to my draft space, the just-deleted Christopher Freeze article. I put a lot of work into improving it for the deleted version I found, and would like to continue developing it some more, as it was my first article and the guy seems to be notable. Thank you for your time and consideration. Mrg00dbar (talk) 16:13, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Kedar JoshiHello. I'm just looking to inform you that I opened a 3rd deletion nomination for the article on Kedar Joshi. It has been previously deleted twice, and you seemed to be heavily involved in the last one. I suspect, strongly, that the current author is Joshi himself. The author has recently made extensive and frequent edits of several other Hinduism related pages. The content of which (specifically the page on Kali(Demon)) relying heavily on Kedar Joshi's personal beliefs. == Nomination of Kedar_Joshi for deletion ==  A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Kedar_Joshi is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted. The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kedar_Joshi_(3rd_nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines. Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

I propose to reorg this article, which involves the Ripple (filters) and Ripple current redirect pages. There's also a Ripple (electronics) page that redirects here that might need to be considered. This article is a union of two different topics with unavoidably the same name. Most of the info under time domain ripple voltage is covered (or will be covered when I'm done) under Rectifier#rectifier smoothing filter. It should be in one place or the other but not both. As discussed in the article, (time domain)ripple is uniquely associated with rectification. DC generator ripple can/should be discussed in the article (if any) about DC generators, since it is of a different form and has different implications. I propose the following:
Ripple current can be caused by non-linear devices other than rectifiers (transformer actuated triac circuits in Carver power amplifiers comes to mind), and I don't know where in the encyclopedia such info might be, but when it appears, the last link above can redirect there.

FWiW Bzuk (talk) 17:51, 23 December 2017 (UTC) Planar transmission lineI've been going through GAN and trying to do reviews of some of the oldest nominations, which includes planar transmission line. I took a look at the article, and would be willing to review it, but wanted to check with you first as I don't have the technical background to be of much use with the content. I'm fairly scientifically literate, and I'd do some reading to see how much I could understand of the material, but I would understand if you'd prefer the article be reviewed by a someone with more relevant knowledge. Let me know if you'd like me to do the review. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 17:14, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
GA Review Air StriplineHello! I took over the review of your article's GA process for the previous reviewer, Navinsingh133. That reviewer's input in the article's GA process was very minimal, whereupon a second opinion was called for by you and the reviewer himself. I began my review of the article in November, beginning with its 3 main sources. I submitted my review, and now await your return to the process. I've noticed that you've taken regular breaks from Wikipedia in the past, so that this is no different, although perhaps a bit longer than the other times. In any event, I do hope everything is alright with you, that you are well, and that we see you soon. Thank you, and take care Spintendo ᔦᔭ 02:25, 3 January 2018 (UTC) I'm fine (well I was undergoing surgery last year, but that's not the reason I've been away). I just lost interest in Wikipedia for a while, but I still check for messages now and then. I'll check out your review over the weekend.

Editing the bipolar transistor pageI'm sorry I do not know how to do all of this. It is my first time in here and there is a LOT of stuff about how to do all of this. I just cannot wade throught it all. But to my original point, I disagree with the use of "convention current" to explain how transistors work. I have been using negative flow all my life, since the CK722 came out. I never did like the idea of positive current. The figure in the bipolar junction article is OK except that the arrows on the wires should be reversed. The drawings inside the crystal are fine. I believe the entire article would be easier to understand if "conventional current" was not mentioned. Thank you for trying to help me sort this out. Lloyd Rice Lloydr (talk) 14:39, 13 February 2018 (UTC)lloydr what's this ???
Of course I have seen the continual emphasis on citing sources. My source about disregarding "conventional current" would be some old history about how dear old Ben Franklin made a mistake. That's no reason we have to follow, now that we know electrons have negative charge. This is not scientific protocol. It's common sense. And that's what makes Wiki articles understandable.

Deletion review for Research and Analysis Wing activities in PakistanUser:Ma'az has asked for a deletion review of Research and Analysis Wing activities in Pakistan. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. —Cryptic 18:23, 6 March 2018 (UTC) closing templatesBTW, there's an easier way to do what you did in this edit.

All it takes is one link to turn a page into a navigation page. If you click on that link, you've navigated to another page. Wikipedia is a hypertext publication. So absolutely YES it should include navigation pages, and every one of its pages should be (and is) a navigation page (that is, include links). At the same time, there are no purely navigation pages in the encyclopedia. They all contain other information besides links. Even the links themselves convey non-link information (in addition to being links, they are also topics - so links on Wikipedia almost always convey topical information. In addition to this, all articles, including lists, convey inclusion and relationship information, and may also include further descriptive information. Inclusion information tells us what topics belong to the current subject. Just being presented on the page (as a heading, a list item, or as the subject of a paragraph) can tell us that, or it can be covered more explicitly as prose (e.g., "cardiology is a branch of medicine"). Being included in the List of cats indicates that you are a cat. Relationship information shows how things within the subject are related to the subject and/or to each other. This type of information can be presented explicitly (e.g., "John and Joe are brothers"). Or it can be implicit in the structure of the article. Subheadings, indented list items, and so on, convey such information, like in a family tree. If a topic has its own heading, that shows one of its relationships to the subject is that it is a subtopic of it. That's a parent-offspring relationship. Further descriptive information is presented as prose, either in paragraph format (in regular articles) or as annotations (in outlines). For example, "Apples are not always red." All articles, whether in prose or list format are both informational and navigational. I hope the above observations help. Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 01:34, 15 March 2018 (UTC) 500 Crore ClubHey, if you've got it then take it and run. I got turned around and thought it was 500crore club which was deleted earlier today. For whatever it's worth, after being advised to do so, the author appears to have started a draft in their sandbox. So make what you want out of that. GMGtalk 19:46, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Hello, you recently moved a section in the Pocket Cube article and added an "unsourced" tag. I now completely reworked that section and tried to add some sources. Can you have a look at them? Should I remove the "unsourced" tag? Thanks for the help, I'm still a bit new to Wikipedia (and English is not my mother tongue). Judith Sunrise (talk) 15:02, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Hello. ThanksThanks for deleting that draft.

I have no idea what was the last version, but G4 wasn't applicable for deletion since it went through Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tim Jonze (2nd nomination), where you had supported redirect,[1] and the AfD resulted in "no consensus".

Here's your sandbox;
Not sure what your sandbox is doing, but it's not the same effect at all.

Mass deleted photos by TaivoDear Spinningspark, Sorry for late reply. I read your notice today. I sent the second reply to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Taivo This answer should explain the issue of laureates' photos uploaded as licence-free 'own work'. The unique photo of Zener is also explained; Professor Riviere is available by e-mail. Documentation, names, e-mails etc. can be provided for direct final verification. The issue of Koster is under negotiations with Max-Planck Institute in Stuttgart, Germany. Koster's photos were not available for long time for obvious reasons (NSDAP membership). The photo of Mason's was popular in academic community for long time (it was not provided by Mason's family). Thus the two oldest photos were not taken by a precisely identifiable member of the scientific community and/or family member. At the moment we are working to approach old Professors in MPI to obtain Koster's photo made after 1965. (His photo from 80' was used to produce the Koster Medal.; the original photo is lost). You may approach Mason's old colleagues from Columbia Univ. such as Dan Beshers (91 years old), Mason's family, or Prof. Elbaum. I was told that older generation (Mason, Nowick) from Henry Krumb School of Mines passed away. We do not have other Mason's photos. Our Mason's photo was copied from Nowick's lecture. The editor from German wikipedia has already explained that several references refer to bio of recipients rather, not to the Prize. This is why the references in German wikipedia has already been sifted by around 50%. I will try to help to delete such irrelevant references in short time (we were not aware about this problem). Information about the Prize exist in printed matters not available in internet. I understand that they started to publish announcements in internet pretty late. I agree that references were not properly selected to meet wikipedia expectations and requirements. Frankly speaking, I am embarassed that you classified, for example, Alfred Seeger as a non-existing person or faked reference. Such people like Zener, Seeger, Bordoni, Nowick, Granato, Ke etc. are well known scientists with significant contribution in materials science and physics. Photo of Seeger was taken before the Zener Prize Award Ceremony in Rome in the Concert Hall (courtesy of R. Cantelli). Let me first clean some reference. I will also prepare an answer to your post soon. With best regards, Andrew3789 (talk) 23:20, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Clydesdale Motor Truck CompanyHi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Clydesdale Motor Truck Company you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. Sentence spacingDouble-spacing sentences is not the "proper" way to write or edit at all. This certainly isn't standard in literature, academia or media writing, all of which fields I have worked in professionally as an editor. Nor do you have the right to take "ownership" of Wikipedia articles.
