Slann (Warhammer 40,000)

It was probably an objectively good delete, but I was a bit puzzled at the sudden disappearance of 'Slann (Warhammer 40,000)'. I only noticed it when doing a watchlist-list (as it were), then spent ages trying to find out where it went. Wouldn't it have been more policy-compliant and more "least surprising result" to have listed it for on votes for deletion? (Might have helped straighten out which of the two is the correct spelling, which I'm still lost on...) Alai 22:28, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)

No problem. I'm still trying to work out if the two spellings have some distinction, are a result of fannish inconsistency, or the result of GWish inconsistency... Alai 17:58, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Rush medical college

Why did you blank your own article at Rush medical college? Thue | talk 08:26, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

The article should have been titled "Rush Medical College", not "Rush medical college". I re-submitted the article with the name properly capitalized; not knowing how to eliminate the previous article, I obliterated the text, in hopes that an administrator (such as yourself) could complete the job by eliminating the title.

OK :). Note that a better way would have been to register an account and then use the "move" button to rename the article. Thue | talk 09:36, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Speedy deletions and VFD

Hi. I would very much appreciate after deleting an article with a VFD notice, once the article has been speedied and meets the speedy criteria, that you go back to the VFD subpage and close the discussion of the debate.

Simply do these simple instructions:

Place the {{subst:vfd top}} above the section title.
Insert the reason why you are closing the debate: For example, speedy delete under speedy criteria #3
Sign your name at the top
Place {{subst:vfd bottom}} at the bottom of the page
Save the page.

{{subst:vfd top}} '''speedy delete''' --~~~~
== [[Article Name]] ==

Debate here

{{subst:vfd bottom}}

Your cooperation and assistance is appreciated. Thank you so much. -- AllyUnion (talk) 09:14, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Geology of the Himalaya

Hello,

I am the one who created the Wikipage on "Geology of the Himalaya" but also the copyright holder of the website [http://comp1.geol.unibas.ch/zanskar] and the PhD thesis from which it is derived: "Tectonic and Metamorphic Evolution of the Central Himalayan Domain in Southeast Zanskar (Kashmir, India)".

Please check my credentials as copyright holder by using the e-mail adress that you will find as a contact address under: [http://comp1.geol.unibas.ch/] or use the same e-mail that you will find on: [http://pages.unibas.ch/earth/tecto/Members/Dezes.htm]

I also thought that the copyright notice that I have put on [http://comp1.geol.unibas.ch/zanskar] would implicitly allow this kind of use (since reference was clearly made on the wikipedia page to the Zanskar page) but of course, I am not a lawyer.

With best regards

Deletion of name entry James Anderson

I am new to all this and not sure what it is you want.
I have done a number of other things but until recently did not use the middle initial or numerals. For example I have published a few short stories, worked as an announcer at JSC during shuttle launch, been in 5 feature films, and for a real job worked as a robotics researcher at Carnegie-Mellon and have code in such games as Xconq, Xtrek, Triad, various rogue versions and several compilers, to name just a few.
It is at least as significant as a few other entries I saw on here today.
I've lectured at as many as 50 conventions in one year on topics ranging from robotics to environmental sustainability.
If you do a net search without the intials and numerals you will find a lot more hits, such as my bio on the DragonCon website.

Anyway, I am not sure I understand the purpose of this effort if everyone is so quick to delete things.

We haven't deleted it yet.

I want specific claims of notability, in the article, so that when read the reader knows exactly why you are interesting in the big picture. The current article reads like the description of a person who has done a bit of everything but not done anything really notable (which may not be true), not an encyclopedic article of a notable person. Try putting in specifics that make you notable, fx areas of research you have published articles in, roles in movies, why you are a noted social activist, things that are significant for other people or in the big picture. Also consider Wikipedia:Autobiography, though I don't personally mind too much as long as the article is well written and the person is notable. Thue | talk 21:43, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

subst:

I always find it easier to note the deletion of large portions of text, so I find using subst: pretty handy. But it wasn't my idea to do it this way. You may have better luck discussion on Wikipedia talk: Votes for deletion. 82.172.23.66 10:41, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Since this policy seems arbitrary, and the person telling I should follow it couldn't say why, I think I will just not follow it for now :). Thue | talk 12:11, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Another thought, it would stop massive amounts of articles from being altered if the template was vandalised as using subst: would incorporate only the current template. Mgm|^(talk) 22:11, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)

Folketinget.dk

Hi,

thanks for your work in uncovering the exact licence of pics from folketinget's website. Do you think that we can assume that old pictures are also covered by the PD licence? For example, the older pic of Anders Fogh Rasmussen originally came from the website, can we label it PD?

PS. thanks for the encouragement you sent my way a month or two back! Thanks for all your hardwork.

Sorry to bother you about with such a silly request. But it looks like that article was one of the rare gems among all that nonsense. Unfortunately, the pictures are gone now. Any way to get them back? Sebastian 09:13, 2005 Mar 16 (UTC)

The pictures were deleted because we could not verify that we had the copyright rights to use them. That is a valid concern, so if we want them back then we need to argue that we had that right first. If we did so, I don't know how we could get them back, as unlike text images are permanently deleted. But they were funny :). Thue | talk 09:50, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Inventor of the Knudsen number

Do you think the Knudsen number was originated by the Jens Martin Knudsen you knew? There is no link between pages. Pdn 04:48, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I don't know; I tried googling, but I can't find any references as to who invented the Knudsen number. Thue | talk 09:20, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

OK. Of course, I Googled, too, before bothering you with this. I have also been in touch with a professor at Manchester who wrote, finally, after saying he did not know who named it either but, writing to a colleague in Denmark, found it was seemingly not named after "our" Knudsen: "Here is the answer (in Danish). It means it was not the man you are thinking of. However, I am told he could have been a Norwegian man (like Ekman). Please inquire with somebody at Oslo University. You can also check out that the Mach number was introduced by Prof Ackeret in the early 1920s, when he developed his theory of linearised supersonic flow at Zurich. Nej. Knudsen tallet har ikke noget med Jens Martin Knudsen at gøre. Jeg ved faktisk ikke hvem det er opkaldt efter, men jeg mener det er en nordmand." Anyway, I am kind of out of steam on this one, other (non North Sea) fish to fry, but good try. I might work on Mach Number, tho. Later Pdn 21:49, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Images and media for deletion

I am contacting people who previously helped to vote to delete a generally objectionable photograph by a vote of 88 to 21, and who might be unaware that immediately after that image was voted to be deleted someone posted another which was very similar in content. My objections to this, and the previous image that was voted to be deleted might be based upon reasons far different from any that you have, but I do object to it, and consider the posting of such images to be acts of asinine stupidity, which burdens the project and its major educational aims in ways that they should not be burdened, and can be extremely detrimental to the acceptance and growth of WIkipedia's use and influence. Thus far those who I believe to be in the extreme minority of Wikipedians who would like to include these images, many who have been channeled to the voting page from the article with which it is associated have dominated the voting, 23 to 12 (as of the time that I composed this message). I would like to be somewhat instrumental in shedding a bit more light upon the issue, and if possible, helping to turn the tide against its inclusion. It might also be necessary to begin making an effort to establish an explicit Wikipedia policy against explicite photographic depictions of humans engaged in erotic, auto-erotic, or quasi-erotic activities. To my limited knowledge such images have not been accepted as appropriate anywhere else within this project, and frankly I can agree with those who are casually labeled prudes for opposing their inclusion, that they should not be. Vitally important information that might be unwelcome by some is one thing that should never be deleted, but un-needed images that can eventually prevent or impede many thousands or millions of people from gaining access to the great mass of truly important information that Wikipedia provides is quite another matter. There are vitally important distinctions to be made. Whatever your reasons, or final decisions upon the matter, I am appealing for more input on the voting that is occurring at Wikipedia:Images_and_media_for_deletion. ~ Achilles † 03:50, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Pesky Messages Left by Anonymous IP Addressees

From: Tom Nally, Steelweaver52@aol.com

Hi, Thue:

I guess we AOL users use a different IP address whenever we come on the 'net, and therefore the same IP address can be used by different users on subsequent occassions. Knowing nothing about TCP/IP myself, all I can say to that is "Oh. OK".

At any rate, I noticed quite some time ago that a Wikipedia person accused the holder of a particular IP address to cease and desist valueless edits on Wikipedia. I picked up the message to that address holder, since I was probably in use of it at the time. I reacted to it by creating a Wikipedia ID so that Wikipedia could recognize me as non-anonymous on subsequent occasions when I visited.

However, I suspect one is not automatically logged into Wikipedia when one visits, because I see more messages addressed to the IP address that I'm currently carrying (see below).

In the future, if I visit Wikipedia for a long time, I will log in. Otherwise, I'll probably just remain anonymous.

Copyright infringement

I am owner of that site and I am using summary of my own pages about Pahlavi Literature so the page 'Denkard' should not be a copyright infringement because I am the holder.

FAOC

Re your vote on styles. I understand and agree. But only casting one vote is effectively a vote against Alternative 1 because it means that less opposition is recorded against its nearest rival. Ireland uses an electoral system called Proportional Representation using a Single Transferable Vote. It works on the same principle as the one being used (only less complicated! I never thought I would find a system more complicated than PR.STV!) What you do is give your bottom preference to the people you want to defeat, and spread your vote in a way that boosts the rivals of the alternative you do not want. So if for example, you find Alternative 3 the one you least like, give it your bottom vote so that opposition to it is recorded. And spread the other votes to ensure the weakest get votes ahead of it. If for example in Ireland I want to ensure candidate 'x' of Fianna Fáil is elected, and ensure candidate 'y' of Sinn Féin is defeated, and there are 15 candidates, I give my number 1 to 'x', my number '15' to 'y' and spread my other votes to ensure that all other candidates beat 'y'.

Sinn Féin and Fianna Fáil voters famously used to practice a 'first and only choice' vote by just voting for their own preferred candidate and then stopping. They eventually realised that they were wasting their vote because they weren't using it to block those they were most opposed to, or to build up the rivals to the candidate they were opposed to. To stop Alternative 3 winning, if that is what you want, give it your fifth choice and give your second, third and fourth choices to the weakest options.

Just be careful though not to copy everyone else doing it. If everyone gives the same other alternatives the same order of votes they may win. So if option 4 gets a lot of 2s, give it a 4. Doing a full vote right down the line will have the effect of strengthening Alternative 1 vis-a-vis 3 or whatever. Just voting for 1 and stopping actually weakens it against its rivals if everyone else votes down the line, because while their opposition to different alternatives is recorded, by stopping at 1 your's isn't. That is why though very popular Alternative 1 is being beaten. Remember the winner won't be decided by who has more votes for, but which faces the least opposition. By voting first and only choice you haven't recorded your opposition to the other options. Slán FearÉIREANN^(talk) 00:21, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Lolz Sauce Article

The "world renown" was actually a joke but the subject matter in the article is actually serious. Many don't realize the new internet cultures being formed as we speak and i believe that it is worthy of documentation. With the advent of new terms and recognized jokes unique to the internet community, i find it rediculous that anyone would dispute the legitimacy of a term they themselves are not farmiliar with. I intend to expand on the theme of that short impulsively-written article to include more information on the new culture of the digital age whether or not it is deleted. I'm not really mad about this but i do find it troubling that a product of this same revolution fails to recognize the significance of this topic.

Capt. Snuffy

Documenting emerging internet culture is a worthy cause - but it is not in the scope of wikipedia. Wikipedia is only for concepts which have already gained a following big enough to be well known by many people (Lolz Sauce is not well known judging by the number of google hits). See also the Primary (original) research part on the Wikipedia is not page for official policy:

Primary (original) research such as proposing theories and solutions, original ideas, defining terms, coining new words, etc.

Equality (nothing else)

I honestly don't understand your categorical dismissal of the value I create as "nonsense."

If you want to be helpful and friendly, and actually flow with the spirit of the community, then you ought not to make personal attacks against the expression of my waveforms, and, instead, you should say "Myth, you shouldn't do this, because it is wrong, and, here is why..."

That would be helpful. As it stands, all you have done is make a value judgment, a categorical generalization, and demonstrate to me, that you are a typical illiterate, pigheaded male, who, in accordance with the typical egocentric cognitive biases, has never stopped to ponder the words of Hayakawa, General Semantics, Korzybski, or Thomas Kuhn.

Since you persistently manifest a willingness to maintain your illiteracy, I curse you in the name of Belial, Keats, and The Ghost of John Milton is now in posession of all your ferral intentions, body odors, and enteric nervous system. Whether or not my words contain any potency, they are illustrative of the fact that you are given the opportunity to accept or reject all nocebos, placebos, etc. See: Adequate Consideration

Test

Do I discern a certain pomposity in your tone? I'm not sure my article was a test. The term "hornyming" is genuine, in widespread use in certain quarters, and was added to Wikipedia to consolidate this fact and to present it to the global community. Just as the term "ming" began somewhere (see under "etymology" on the Oxford English Dictionary website), so, too, must its derivatives. But I thank you for your misguided intervention, nonetheless. I have seen, however, just how "open" this open source encyclopaedia is, given that the valid contributions of one user can be rejected by the arbitrary interference of a third party.

I think I added the test message because you added "Chandler is the definition of the hornyming sufferer." to Chandler Bing, which struck me as a prank at the time; upon reviewing I can see you probably meant it as a genuine contribution. In any case I stand by the reversion and the deletion of the Hornyming article: "Hornyming" is a neologism with 1(!) hit in a google search, and using newly made-up words which very few people know what means is not appropriate in an encyclopedia. See Wikipedia:Neologism for the official policy page for that policy. In addition to being at odds with the neologism policy, the "Hornyming" article doesn't belong in wikipedia because Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary.

I just blocked it for a week more; the only reason I didn't make it longer is the chance that somebody else gets the IP assigned in the future. If he comes back and vandalizes just a single time more I think blocking for a month would be in order, again just based on the blocking policy, without the need for a RFC.
