Do not move pages unilaterally
Hi Uncle Ed, good seeing you again. But you improperly moved a contentious page while discussion was happening about the title. Please don't do that. I'm going to undo the move. - Fuzheado | Talk 23:56, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, I was thinking "be bold" as in the old days with Larry Sanger. Next time, I will simply propose a new page title. Thanks for the undo! --Uncle Ed (talk) 18:44, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Hi, Back in 2010 you were asking what's visible from space. From the Australian astronaut came a story that he was told not to ask questions about the hole the crew sees north of Darwin every ninety minutes as they pass over it; it's the Grasberg mine in Indonesian administrated Papua. And unless you are employed as a miner or publicity creator (or Indonesian military) you are not going to get any other view of it; there's a 30 mile exclusion zone, and sixty miles away at new-port nobody approaches the coast without company permission. Which has been a major problem for scientists who've wanted to test the waters for copper, mercury and other signs of the operations. As for roads & walls, they are too small to be seen, you may see a difference in vegetation or landscape on either side, but the human eye can not distinguish structures unless they are miles across. And Grasberg is a hole where one of the planet's highest peaks use to be, so it kind of, stands out. Daeron (talk) 01:51, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

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,
BGerdemann (WMF) (talk) 19:27, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
Your thread over at Race (human categorization)
Hello Ed Poor, I'm sure you saw that I hatted your talk page appeal recently.
I personally am a cultural conservative and, too, have accordingly found the cultural (i.e. soft) etiology for racial gaps in test measures and lifetime outcomes an underappreciated paradigm.
One problem with this, however, is that – apart from some primary sources like Black Rednecks and White Liberals – there have actually been comparably few studies on this matter specifically. I could be very wrong about this as I'm no expert here. In any case, I'm sure nobody would mind you reopening that thread if you had more concrete ideas about sourcing and the like. Sorry if I made you feel unwelcome over there, Biohistorian15 (talk) 17:48, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
