Just so you know, the way to add an article to a category is to type [[Category:Eponymous anatomical structures]] at the bottom of the article. —Brim 10:11, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd advise against starting a wiki page, unfortuntely -- it'll probably get deleted (see WP:NOR). But an article like "spiritual use of quantum mechanics" would be cool). Tlogmer 23:33, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Quantum Metaphysics and Mysticism

With all due respect... as a quantum metaphysicist that isn’t interested in Eastern mysticism one needs to define the terms appropriately. Mysticism is a new 20th century term from the insertion of Eastern philosophical ideas into metaphysics... regardless of individual interpretations the correct term for the last 3000 years has been metaphysics… and not pseudoscience and or mysticism. Pseudoscience has been used for those wanting to degrade the metaphysical investigations. Unfortunately, people with either agendas and or ignorance have muddied the meaning of the terms. Thanks for your comment H0riz0n 11:41, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Page move/rename error

Hello. I see you've moved/renamed Quantum mysticism/metaphysics/etc to a different page, but you seem to have made the same mistake as H0riz0n, by renaming via a copy and paste rather than a move page. (See User_talk:H0riz0n#Quantum_mysticism_move_error where I pointed this out to H0riz0n.) WP:MOVE explains how to move a page while retaining the correct history (which is required for copyright reasons) In the meantime, I'll try and get an admin to fix this again.

Australian sf project?

Hi Adam. I've been advocating wikipedia for a bit over twelve months, and I'm very pleased to discover someone else I know from the real world (you're only the second) who seems to have taken to it with gusto. I'm very interested in beefing up and organising the Australian sf information on here (although I've actually spent little time on it beyond Ditmar Award and its sub-page). Are you interested in trying to get some kind of project going?  JEREMY 15:05, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Great Wall

Regarding your comment on my talk-page: I am currently not able to access my rather extensive book collection on Central Asian history. IF I am not mistaken, the issue was discussed my Grousset in the book "history of central asia". It may also have been in Rasyanovsky (Russian guy who wrote a really excellent summary history of Genghis Khan. He even refers to an interesting hypothesis according to which Temujin was serving as a Chinese general while being allied with the Wang Khan, and that much of his sudden rise to power can be explained by him actually using Chinese units in defeating some of his enemies early on). Something like that it was. The point is that at the time of the Genghite invasion, the wall was not as extensive as it was later on. The Genghites actually expanded and completed it. There are actually two chinese walls, one much further north than the so-called "Great Wall".

Sorry not to be able to help out on this any more, it will be a long time before I have my library back. Dietwald 08:05, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New York

If this needs to be mentioned at all, it can be mentioned in the episode article itself as the city is only refered to in passing and is otherwise non-notable. (aeropagitica) 22:20, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm impressed by the speed of your response, but don't entirely agree - although it's mentioned in passing, I think it's notable, as it's the ultimate punchline to what's become a very long running gag in science fiction - the original sf notion of New New York evolving in various stories to New New New York etc. It'd be nice if Wikipedia made note of this, IMHOAdambrowne666 22:26, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't notable beyond the episode article itself. There isn't enough content to support an independent article, better to place the information in the New Earth article. Very few if any people would search for an article with such a non-intuitive title and fans of the episode are more likely to go to the extant article for information. (aeropagitica) 22:34, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, he doesn't say it's the "correct" name: he says that it's called "New New York", but that technically, it should be "New New New..." etc. because it's the fifteenth one. Later on, the police announce themselves as the "New New York" police department, so the longer name is not what the "correct" name is. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 22:49, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not so keen on including something that's a throwaway joke in the plot synopsis, particularly as people have already been complaining about length. That's why I deleted the addition in the first place. As a one-off joke, it's not really notable enough, in my view. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 01:17, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Quicky translation

here. Hope it helps, might turn it into article, if I ever get around to finding, selecting, and citing,references and so forth. Take care! ---Sluzzelin talk 00:31, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, I've always meant to share this with you, prompted by the image on your page. By mere coincidence of travel plans, I visited the Sedlec ossuary only three months after seeing the Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini. The Capuchin Crypt had been a borderline experience in sickly colors, I was reminded of all sorts of unpleasant WWII imagery, BBQs, and even imagined detecting a sweet smell. I felt nauseous and had to get out soon. I don't know how I was persuaded to visit Sedlec after that, but the experience was quite the opposite - a pleasant surprise of prettily prepared and serenely sculpted remains. ---Sluzzelin talk 03:00, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Council of Ten? I don't know a lot about 15/16th century Venice, but I admit your questions always make me curious about the wonderful Brownean world of fiction. Maybe some of the compagnie had political influence as well. The article I translated cited no sources.

Though I obviously didn't enjoy it, visiting the crypt was a memorable experience I wouldn't wish to have missed. Maybe it didn't help that on our way there, we happened right through a loud and aggressive Forza Nuova procession. Maybe it didn't help that I hadn't had breakfast. And maybe it didn't help that the employee's microphone was inadvertently turned on during the entire visit, even though she wasn't addressing anyone in the crypt through the speakers, but having (very) private conversations on her cell phone instead. :-| At any rate, my companion who dragged me to all these places (Parisian and Roman catacombs too) shares your fascination and remained in the tiny crypt for another half hour. It still resounds like an eery distant thud on an old drum, while I hear harpsichords when thinking of Sedlec. (too much Hollywood in my system, I know) ---Sluzzelin talk 02:48, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Judging from some books on Venice I looked at, the compagnie were part of nobility themselves. "Cultural clans" of "patrician youth groups dedicated to self-display and entertainments previous to their coming of age and entering the Great Council". So they were almost certainly interwoven with politics on one way or another. ---Sluzzelin talk 01:37, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, jeez - I hadn't heard of the Forza Nova - blissful ignorance. How depressing - how banal... I like the old drum and the harpsichords - your similes made me smile... Thanks, but I reckon the Council of Ten are the go - I just loved the term Eterni, and wanted to play with it - still, the Council of Ten is great too - Venetian history is so rich! so fantastical! If you're curious about my writing, I could send you some to your email - don't feel obliged to say yes, though - I know what it's like - life is full enough without having more to occupy you. Thanks yet again Adambrowne666 (talk) 18:27, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I would appreciate that a lot. I go nuts when stuck waiting somewhere without reading material, and I like printouts and other stuff that folds and fits in summer outfits. (In winter I'm able to stick thick books in my enormous coat pockets). So, if you please ... (Of course I'd still like to buy a copy some day, what with RD dedications and all) :-) ---Sluzzelin talk 04:42, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Screen Resolution

This was getting a little high on the reference desk so, for fear of you not receiving the message, I have decided to continue this on your talk page. That being said, every GUI has a different way to change it's resolution. In Windows, this can be found in the Control Panel. However, if you are using a different operating system (which would insist a different GUI), do not know how to access the control panel, or have other questions, let me know.

Cecilia/Trudi

Thanks for pointing that mistake out Adam. Only happened because I arrived late and Cecilia signs with her initials (C intersecting a T). If you've knocked about the site for a while, maybe you could give me a hand with editing Commons:Category:Writers from Australia? I plan on going to the Romance Writers Festival this Saturday, and there is something like twenty authors attending. I haven't read any of them .___.

Cheers. Ottre, 11:56, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll do a bit of editing if you point me to some articles that need it - will be a sporadic process - just when I get time; I have no idea about romance writers either, but am happy to amend prose etc. So do you go to these festivals for that purpose? - you're very dedicated. Adambrowne666 (talk) 05:16, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey. Spoke with the organisers on Friday night, and they didn't sound very supportive at all -- even though I explained I was only interested in photographing the Melbourne writers, free culture, etc. Didn't end up going. I think I'll need to get a press pass from wikinews.org next time I want to do an entire festival.

In the meantime though... I could use definitely use your help with individual articles. Can you check this page once every fortnight? Ottre 12:41, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

I worry about that too: sometimes I write too technical. So I try to make it clearer. I thought here it's ok, because if it's unclear, people ask questions.

Apology

I didn't mean to come off so brusk at the reference desks. I was genuinely not understanding the nature of your question, and would like to be able to help, but I just needed you to provide more details about what question you needed answered. It is my fault for not understanding, and I am sorry that I came off the way I did. It was not my intent, and if I have caused discomfort, that is my fault and for that I am truly sorry. --Jayron32 06:12, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes I have to ask for help in tracing a post. If you will show me a diff for when I bullied you, I shall review whatever was said and give you my explanation. Otherwise I can't remember what exchange you refer to. Cuddlyable3 (talk) 07:17, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It was my interpretation of course, but that's how I felt subsequently; it was in the talk page of the Ref Desks - I'd complained about what I felt was a snippy answer from someone; you took exception - fair enough; in fact, I was mostly in the wrong - but then you attacked almost literally everything I posted in the discussion subsequently - it was shocking - your baneful, gimlet eye, the fine detail of your rebukes, your indefatigability - and your almost mad assumptions: I couldn't even make positive comments about others' responses without being castigated... I remember mentioning the piece of fiction I was working on; you mocked that too. I'm not going to look it up - you can if you like. Nevertheless, good on you for following this up; not entirely sure why you're doing it, but it's brave whatever the case.

Do you mean this discussion ? Cuddlyable3 (talk) 20:00, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

that's the one

Last year you posted this question at the Science ref. desk. There were six responders, all serious. Your complaint about Jayron32's responses followed. I have reviewed both sections and many volunteer's time has been spent answering you. This post on Jayron32's page and the florid polemic here are calculated personal abuse. As the receiving target of your abuse, I ask you to stop. Cuddlyable3 (talk) 08:57, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delirium Brownianum

Hello, Adam! I caught your note just now. Sorry for not responding sooner (and for not helping you one bit). I know I've tackled Latin questions at the language desk, but I remain a bloody, though enthusiastic, amateur. Fellow ref-deskians such as Adam Bishop, Angr, AnonMoos (and that's just the letter "A" :-) as well as several others strike me as quite a bit more knowledgable, and (as far as I know) are indeed scholars. The collective at the language desk will always remain your best bet for giving just the right mix of erudition and craziness required for your type of questions ;-). ---Sluzzelin talk 20:44, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Sluzzelin - no worries at all; the Ref Desk did indeed deliver, and I ended up with something I liked very much. Incidentally, I was looking for a title for the novel you and Clio and others helped so much with, so long ago; it's coming out at last in Sep 2012, including acknowledgements to you all. Thanks again, Adambrowne666 (talk) 21:37, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome news! If it's not too much to ask, I'd really appreciate the details by mail as soon as the book is out. I want to order it! ---Sluzzelin talk 14:11, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Of course! In the meantime, I've published a collection of my short stories on Kindle - Phantasmagoriana - in an effort to get my name out into the world a little before the novel comes out; if you're interested, it's only 99 cents, and you don't need an e-reader to read it; can just download the Kindle software (PC or Mac) and read it on your machine. If you enjoy the stories, I'd love it if you could send them around a bit to likeminded friends...

Proposed deletion of Dacianos

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

NN "caste," fails the GNG. Only coverage found (examining the sources in the article included) are casual mentions and namedrops. Notability tagged for over a decade.

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.
