Image:Radar Kub.jpg

Hi, I notice you have tagged Image:Radar Kub.jpg with a generic {{PD}} tag. Did this image come from a US military site? If so, could you please add the appropriate more-specific public domain tag. Could you please also do the same for any similar images you've uploaded and also provide the source URL in the image description. Thanks! David Johnson [T|C] 00:49, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Objecto-libertarianism

Please consider Wikipedia:No original research carefully. The term "objecto-libertarianism" does not appear in any dictionary, encyclopedia or web page I've checked, which suggests it is not notable enough to appear in an encyclopedia.

The material could belong to existing articles like objectivism and libertarianism, but "objecto-libertarianism" as a concept is as far as I can tell not treated by any secondary source we could use as an encyclopedia. Wikipedia does not promote novel ideas.

As it stands, this article would almost certainly be deleted if a vote were to be held on it. Consider if there's a better way to incorporate the information than a separate article. JRM · Talk 14:33, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've put a Merge tag on it suggesting it be merged with Neo-Objectivism which, from my understanding of Objecto-libertarianism as described by the article, is the vastly more common name for the same thing. I suggest further discussion of this be moved to Talk:Objecto-libertarianism. Kurt Weber 14:52, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Rafale and CVN 74.jpg again

Hi, I was wondering why you removed this image from the Dassault Rafale article and why you removed the copyright information from the image itself. The image is a nice addition to the article and the copyright seems to be in order [1].--Sylvain Mielot 19:03, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Image:Rafale and CVN 74.jpg again

Hi, The reason is that there is an image in Wikicommons with the same name, and I wish that picture to appear in the "Dassault Rafale" article, but there is simply no way to have it appear unless the picture in Wikipedia is *removed* first; And since there is no way to delete anything from Wikipedia (such as an image), the only it *is* possible to delete the Wikipedia image is to remove its copyright information and wait for it to be automatically removed.

Cool! thanks for the answer. --Sylvain Mielot 01:32, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Designation of USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63)

Hi I noticed that you changed the designation of USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) to USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63). While this really isn't that big of a deal, we have come to a consensus over at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (ships), to use the hypen in USN ships. This is basically to keep a standard format for the naming of ship articles throughout wikipedia. I have reverted your changes and if you still disagree then I'd ask that you or I start a discussion over at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (ships). Thanks -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 16:57, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

USS Ranger (CVA-61) vs USS Ranger (CV-61)

I noticed that you moved USS Ranger (CVA-61) to USS Ranger (CV-61). I reverted this move for two reasons:

this isn't the proper way to move an article. For more info please see Help:Moving a page
I'm not certain this is the most common designation for this ship. Since it was redesignated in 1975, that gives it 18 years under one designation and another 18 years under the other. If you still think it should be moved, add it to Wikipedia:Requested moves, and make a case for it there. Thanks -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 19:17, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to SS-1 (disambiguation)

Your recent edit to SS-1 (disambiguation) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles.

SS-1

I've fixed this. You seem to have moved SS-1 to SS-1 (disambiguation), then cut and paste the content into SS-1 (rifle), finally updating the disambiguation page. What this did was left the editing history for the rifle article with the disambiguation page. What I've done is move the disambig page to SS-1 (rifle) so it has all the edit history, and then create the disambiguation page as a new page. --pgk^(talk) 19:34, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Herzliya airport

Hi A.R.

You should not have moved Herzliya airport to Herzlia airport, as that spelling is inconsistant with the transliteration adopted for הרצליה - Herzliya (which you'll find that Herzlia redirects to). In the future, please try to investigate a bit more before moving pages, as it is slightly difficult to undo a page move. Thanks for your effort though, and keep on editing.

Its and It's

I'm pretty sure the first usage of its was grammatically correct seeing how it's is a replacement of it is. A good way to check is to see if 'it is' works in that case. "Despite it is wet climate" for example, which as apparent, doesn't work. Lily Towers^talk 06:34, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects

STOP!

Why are you creating all of those redirects? They don't seem to serve much of a purpose, and they're spamming the recent changes.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 09:00, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Designations for Soviet and Russian weapons

STOP!

Please, read Wikipedia:Naming conventions (missiles and unguided rockets): "Russian/Soviet missiles and rockets: Design bureau and number: Vympel R-37, Bisnovat R-40. If the name without design bureau is much more common, use that: S-200. The NATO reporting name, though not part of the official designation, are in many cases the name by which the aircraft is best known in the West, and can redirect to the article under the correct name. " Then answer my questions below.

Why are you constantly replacing official designationg used by manufacturers in names of Soviet and Russian weapons by their NATO reporting names? And why do you call NATO's designations "standard ones"? Should we use Soviet designations as standard for NATO weapons? It looks absurd for me. Look, for example, at Chinese weapons C-802, Silkworm missile, Taiwanese Hsiung Feng I, etc. - names, given by their manufacturers are always preferred.

By the way, why do you revert other additions without any explanations - like here, here, here, here, etc.? You dislike mentioning GRAU in the article - leaving e.g. a bunch of numbers 9К330/9К331/9К332 instead of proposed by me "GRAU designation of the earliest model is 9K330", like you did here? Or what?

WP:CFD

I've put two categories you created up for deletion here. I'm afraid I don't think them particularly useful, and Category:American Republicanists is not American, at least to my ear. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 19:16, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It would be a courtesy if you would at least read our articles before devising categories for them. There is no such word in American English as Republicanist; and James Madison, one of the founders of the Democratic Republicans, was never a Federalist; Patrick Henry, however, was. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 02:12, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me, Septentrionalis? Should I quote from the articles themselves? Here is a quote from the first part in the article about James Madison: "During and after the war, Madison reversed many of his positions. By 1815, he supported the creation of the second National Bank, a strong military, and a high tariff to protect the new factories opened during the war". These are absolutely, completely Federalist stances, especially the main issue: the National Bank.

In the categories about "Federalists" and "Republicanists" I did not refer to the persons' party memberships (Federalist Party or Democratic-Republican Party), but to their ideas and the political acts they performed as a result of those ideas.

As to Patrick Henry, I admit I was indeed wrong; He was an Antifederalist and then became Federalist; Hence, he should be in the category "Both".

And about the word "Republican" versus "Republicanist": Firstly, "Republican" would mean, to a modern ear, a member or supporter of the present-day Republican Party. Secondly, "Republicanist" is on the same weight as "Federalist". If the word "Federalist" exists, so should "Republicanist". Even if it weren't so, the first reason I mentioned – to save Wikipedia users from utter confusion – is important enough, as I think.

Furthermore, an article named "Republicanism in the United States" is alive and kicking. That's exactly the ideology whose supporters are "Republicanists" (surely no one would claim that "Republicans", i.e. supporters of modern Republican Party, do all support "Republicanism").

Last words on the entire subject: the Republicanist-Federalist debate was one of the most important ideological conflicts in the history of the United States, the country that later became leader of the world. Issues related to central government's power and to constitutional law still make headlines today. So why not include a category that tells about the Nation's politicians back then and their stand in that crucial debate?! I think it is extremely important. A.R. 08:34, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notes

Howdy, I noticed your work creating redirects such as Fa (musical note). It is great work and much needed, I think. However I'm not sure it is best to send the redirect to the fixed-note which corresponds to it. Many people use a movable Do Solfege, with Do simply being the first note of the scale. What do you think of redirecting to the Solfege article instead? In any event, keep up the great work. Best, --TeaDrinker 08:36, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi TeaDrinker, thanks a lot. I personally think the following: 1. My current work is intended mainly for the musically-inexperienced, i.e. people that come into Wikipedia searching for the simplest understanding of the entire "notes" issue; 2. Yes, it is true that many people use the "movable Do solfege", but many others use the fixed note one, and by redirecting into the "solfege" page and letting the inexperienced musician "choose" which solfege to refer to, only utter confusion would be created; 3. For new guitar players, this makes the understanding of the way strings create sound and their harmonies a lot easier. Best regards, A.R. 08:46, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New SCOTUS categories

Have these new categories been discussed? I don't really have an objection to them, however, I would hate to see a lot of work go to waste. If there hasn't been already, there should probably be a discussion on WP:SCOTUS regarding new categorization schemes. Cheers. --MZMcBride 18:28, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have an objection to them: categories like Category:United States Supreme Court cases, June 1950 are far too specific—there is absolutely no good reason to group by the month they were handed down. Not only will the opinions decided within a month have no more of a relationship to each other than with those handed down the previous or subsequent month, but most months will be very sparsely populated. Furthermore, inclusion in any of the Category:United States Supreme Court cases by date subcategories will encourage people to remove them from the general Category:United States Supreme Court cases category (which you strangely have avoided integrating your new categories into). This will make it difficult, if not impossible, to find a case article by browsing (how often do you remember the year, rather than a party name), and alphabetical browsing through the category is absolutely necessary to find an article given the difficulty of remembering case names and dealing with the variations of abbreviations. It's far better to chronologically organize cases by using list articles, and this is already done in several forms. See the contents of Category:United States Supreme Court opinions by term, Category:Lists of United States Supreme Court cases (organized by case reporter volume), and Category:Lists of United States Supreme Court cases by court.

So please stop making these categories, and stop adding articles to them until this can be discussed on the Supreme Court Wikiproject. I can guarantee that, at a minimum, the month-specific categories will be deleted, so let's talk this out first before any further effort is wasted. Postdlf 21:22, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please discuss further here, at the U.S. Supreme Court WikiProject. Postdlf 22:01, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:NASA_Shuttle_Landing_Facility_aerial_view.JPG

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:NASA_Shuttle_Landing_Facility_aerial_view.JPG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ~ Wikihermit 02:10, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:NASA Shuttle Landing Facility aerial view.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:NASA Shuttle Landing Facility aerial view.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

Unspecified source for Image:AN_MPQ-53_radar_(b030310f).jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:AN_MPQ-53_radar_(b030310f).jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 15:22, 31 March 2008 (UTC).

Citation on Special K

You've provided a citation for the "Special K" quote, but this seems to be a live concert that you're referring to and not a published source. Do you have a URL you can include for this?

Notability of Metropolin

A tag has been placed on Metropolin requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Truthanado (talk) 21:09, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Metropolin requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion. If you can indicate how it is different from the previously posted material, place the template {{hangon}} underneath the other template on the article and put a note on the page's discussion page saying why this article should stay. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please use deletion review instead of continuing to recreate the page. Thank you. Truthanado (talk) 21:48, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Metropolin

A tag has been placed on Metropolin 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, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.

May 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Battle for the Sun, without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. We have some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. --IllaZilla (talk) 13:13, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow or move it unilaterally against naming conventions or consensus, as you did to Battle for the Sun. This includes making page moves while a discussion remains under way. We have some guidelines to help with deciding what title is best for a subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. See also WP:ALBUMCAPS --IllaZilla (talk) 16:10, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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. Courcelles (talk) 02:13, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cut and paste moves

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give List of Gravitational-wave observations a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into List of gravitational wave observations. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge.

File source problem with File:FIRECAN.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:FIRECAN.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Wikiacc (¶) 01:57, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Planck acceleration

The article Planck acceleration has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

A trivial bit of dimensional analysis, and a term not actually used in the physics literature to a sufficient extent to merit a dedicated article (mostly a viXra topic more than anything else).

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.
