March 17: ONLINE WikiWednesday Salon NYC with Wikimedia Community Ireland for St Patrick's Day

March 17, 7pm: ONLINE WikiWednesday Salon NYC with Wikimedia Community Ireland for St Patrick's Day
Welcome to Wikimedia New York City!

You are invited to join the Wikimedia NYC community for our monthly "WikiWednesday" evening salon (7-8pm) and knowledge-sharing workshop. To join the meeting from your computer or smartphone, just visit this link. More information about how to connect is available on the meetup page.

We look forward to seeing local Wikimedians, but would also like to invite folks from the greater New York metropolitan area (and beyond!) who might not typically be able to join us in person!

As this WikiWednesday coincides with Saint Patrick's Day, we will have a guest speaker from Wikimedia Community Ireland, about Irish-language Wikipedia, the efforts of the community in Ireland, and personal work on historical biographies with a special Irish-New York connection.

This month will also include a discussion of Black WikiHistory Month in February and WikiWomen's History Month and Art+Feminism in March, and of course the great work that is being done in these topical areas throughout the year. If there's a project you'd like to share or a question you'd like answered, just let us know by adding it to the agenda or the talk page.

7:00pm - 8:00 pm online via Zoom (optional breakout rooms from 8:00-8:30)

(You can subscribe/unsubscribe from future notifications for NYC-area events by adding or removing your name from this list.)

Geckomatics

Hi, you removed Geckomatics reference but why? Cyclomedia is also a commercial company, so you should remover them too then. It is just an enumeration of companies active in the field. I see no reason why Cyclomedia is mentioned and no others. Best Luc 2A02:1811:2D20:B200:F4E0:DFC3:4CE7:7E24 (talk) 19:08, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Can you please send me a link to what you mean? Also, if you create a free Wikipedia account I can then ping you this reply directly. Thank you. FULBERT (talk) 22:51, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

I mean the wikipedia entry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_street_view_services This is a list of services. And Geckomatics is a (new) service as well as Cyclomedia is... I created a User page Lucdevos, sorry for the confusion but I am new to this in editing.

Best Luc Lucdevos (talk) 12:38, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Lucdevos, Good point; I put it back on. Thanks for following up. FULBERT (talk) 13:17, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Ok, thank you. Luc Lucdevos (talk) 13:27, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

WikiLoop 2020 Year in Review

Wikipedia mini globe handheld
Wikipedia mini globe handheld

Dear editors, developers and friends:

Thank you for supporting Project WikiLoop! The year 2020 was an unprecedented one. It was unusual for almost everyone. In spite of this, Project WikiLoop continued the hard work and made some progress that we are proud to share with you. We also wanted to extend a big thank you for your support, advice, contributions and love that make all this possible.

Head over to our project page on Meta Wikimedia to read a brief 2020 Year in Review for WikiLoop.

Thank you for taking the time to review Wikipedia using WikiLoop DoubleCheck. Your work is important and it matters to everyone. We look forward to continuing our collaboration through 2021!

Kelvin scale temperature

You reverted my recent edit to the Temperature page.

Above the section I edited, it discusses the Kelvin scale and refers to temperature in this sense as an absolute with one degree of freedom (because the denominator of the ratio of the two intensive variables making up temperature is actually a constant, 0K).

Conversely, temperature in the Fahrenheit or Celsius scale is a ratio of two intensive variables.

Thus, for the Kelvin scale, temperature is a ratio of one intensive variable and one constant. 71.135.39.16 (talk) 00:21, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Nice explanation. Will revert my revert. Thank you for following-up and explaining this. FULBERT (talk) 00:34, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
If you continue editing, Wikipedia, which I hope you do, you may want to create a free, personal account for editing, as that way you will get notifications when other editors make comments, such as this one I am doing. The best for for your future editing and contributions. FULBERT (talk) 00:35, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
Oh, no... most of my thermodynamic theories are not accepted on Wikipedia, despite the fact that they're bog-standard from-the-textbook theories without the misinterpretations that plague so many people... I've been shut down time and again trying to explain it, but it seems most can't grasp the concepts.
(For instance, the fact that photons cannot ascend an energy density gradient greater than the energy density of that photon, that a cooler object has lower energy density at all wavelengths than a warmer object, thus photons from a cooler object are not even incident upon a warmer object because the intervening space sets up an energy gradient that the photons cannot ascend... backed up mathematically and by other physicists, to be sure, but it seems the bidirectional exchange of energy model (which violates 2LoT in the Clausius Statement sense and Stefan's Law) is the accepted model here.)
For the Temperature page, you might want to include a blurb in my edit to the effect that because the denominator is a constant (0K), this makes thermodynamic temperature (ie: Kelvin scale) effectively an absolute... still a ratio, but an absolute nonetheless. 71.135.39.16 (talk) 00:45, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Wheeler High School (Georgia)

It was named for Joseph Wheeler who was an American military commander and politician. He is known for having served both as a cavalry general in the Confederate States Army in the 1860s during the American Civil War, and then as a general in the United States Army during both the Spanish–American War and Philippine–American War near the turn of the twentieth century.

Greetings FULBERT,

The above edit was made to Wheeler High School (Georgia) due to the incomplete listing the way it was before only citing part of his bio. The school was named for him due to his service to the United States of America both as a US Congressman for 18 years starting in 1880 and as a Brigadier General in the Spanish American and Philippine American wars 1898 to 1900. It can not be listed only as Civil War because that is not complete information.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:8190:7EE0:9D07:275E:B45E:6E52 (talk) 17:04, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply and for pointing it out. You may want to follow the link I provided in my edit summary, Please remember to cite reliable sources as evidence to support your claims per WP:VERIFY. In that link, it begins, "In the English Wikipedia, verifiability means other people using the encyclopedia can check that the information comes from a reliable source. Wikipedia does not publish original research. Its content is determined by previously published information rather than the beliefs or experiences of editors. Even if you are sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it.[1]" So, please cite some external, verifiable information to support the claims you are making in your edits. Those edits may be completely accurate, and citing verifiable sources helps to provide evidence for what you are saying. I hope this helps. FULBERT (talk) 17:17, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

Campaign for Real Ale : Don't understand your vandalism of my legitimate amendments, for vandalism it indeed is

I gave a link to the Book sale page of CAMRA for one as a comment

For the other

see

https://shop1.camra.org.uk/product/camras-good-beer-guide-2019/

Good Beer Guide coverage information

Why do people like you vandalise valid attempts to make Wiki more helpful and informative - makes peo;ple not want to bother

I think it would be helpful to less skilled users if you added any citation links from base information given

To clutter up simple statements of fact with footnotes that might and are often web links that expire when time superseded is just clutter

I look forward to seeing both amendments reinstated for the morning and any citation or footnotes you want to see added from the two links I have provided.

Thank you
