Eustatius Med School

[edit]

Im an It person for the school and our wiki page is outdated and incorrect. Please get back to me about updating it correctly without getting wiped for vandalism again. Rtabph (talk · contribs)

OK. The problem with your previous edits was the use of possessive pronouns, and a strong emphasis on the positive aspects of the school. If you make any more edits, I won't revert them personally, and will help with the syntax (but as an IT guy, you won't find anything complex,) but if you don't adhere to WP:NPOV, somebody else might undo them. Thanks, Jamesx12345 13:26, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

How can you

[edit]

how can you see what I did so fast?

Wikipedia is heavily patrolled for vandalism. The very vast majority is removed within five minutes. Jamesx12345 15:34, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Masaru Emoto

[edit]

please look at this journal. I am trying to edit Masaru Emoto's page and it is my first time. Little confusing. http://noetic.org/library/publication-scholarly-papers/double-blind-test-effects-distant-intention-water/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by W00tb0ss (talkcontribs) 10:12, 11 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid that source would not pass the guidelines for finding reliable sources. To be used on Wikipedia, sources have to be unbiased towards any particular viewpoints, and the IONS is not by any means impartial. Peer-reviewed journals like Nature or Science, or books published by respected publishers such as CRC or CUP, are considered "reliable", and less good sources have to be carefully considered. Thanks. Jamesx12345 19:12, 11 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ok thank you. That makes sense. I need to read more about wikipedia guidelines. I was only trying to update the article to mention the new experiments and the seemingly honest attempt from Emoto to do another experiment after so long. I can not say the source is reliable but only a refernce for anyone interested, it would be nice to mention. There is a pdf at the link which contains some interesting information. Can you help please? W00tb0ss (talk) 02:33, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Raman Mundair

[edit]

Hello James - not sure if this is how you use talk pages but i'm writing to respond to your message - i updated Raman Mundair's complete page - I know her personally and checked info with her and she gave me updates on her work. hope that is ok? i tried to write thisn on th eidt summary but not sure if it save? just noticed that all my changes have gone. can this be restored please? thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lutrawest (talkcontribs) 14:23, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Since you are in a good position to improve her article, I've restored all your edits and made a few fixes. I'll keep an eye on it, but it is presently in a state of neglect and any work to improve it would be much appreciated. Just be neutral and cite sources using <ref> tags. Thanks, Jamesx12345 14:46, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Titan Clydebank

[edit]

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Titan Clydebank you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Cwmhiraeth -- Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:00, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I would also be prepared to review your Finnieston Crane article but even if I find they meet the GA criteria, you will still need to score more points by other means if you are to proceed to the next round of the cup. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:13, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I also have Sinclair Executive and Sinclair Sovereign awaiting review. They're quite short, but deeply boring, and I wouldn't expect one person to review them all. Thanks helping with this. Jamesx12345 12:32, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

VisualEditor newsletter—April 2014

[edit]

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has mostly worked on performance improvements, image settings, and preparation for a simplified citation template tool in its own menu.

  • In an oft-requested improvement, VisualEditor now displays red links (links to non-existent pages) in the proper color. Links to sister projects and external URLs are still the same blue as local links.
  • You can now open templates by double-clicking them or by selecting them and pressing  Return.  This also works for references, images, galleries, mathematical equations, and other "nodes".
  • VisualEditor has been disabled for pages that were created as translations of other pages using the Translate extension (common at Meta and MediaWiki.org). If a page has been marked for translation, you will see a warning if you try to edit it using VisualEditor.
  • When you try to edit protected pages with VisualEditor, the full protection notice and most recent log entry are displayed. Blocked users see the standard message for blocked users.
  • The developers fixed a bug that caused links on sub-pages to point to the wrong location.
  • The size-changing controls in the advanced settings section of the media or image dialog were simplified further. VisualEditor's media dialog supports more image display styles, like borderless images.
  • If there is not enough space on your screen to display all of the tabs (for instance, if your browser window is too narrow), the second edit tab will now fold into the drop-down menu (where the "Move" item is currently housed). On the English Wikipedia, this moves the "Edit beta" tab into the menu; on most projects, it moves the "Edit source" tab. This is only enabled in the default Vector skin, not for Monobook users. See this image for an example showing the "Edit source" and "View history" tabs after they moved into the drop-down menu.
  • After community requests, VisualEditor has been deployed as an opt-in feature at Meta and on the French Wikinews.
The drop-down menu is on the right, next to the search box.

Looking ahead:  A new, locally controlled menu of citation templates will put citations immediately in front of users. You will soon be able to see the Table of Contents while editing. Support for upright image sizes (preferred for accessibility) is being developed. In-line language setting (dir="rtl") will be offered as a Beta Feature soon. Looking further out, the developers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments. It will be possible to upload images to Commons from inside VisualEditor.

If you have questions or suggestions for future improvements, or if you encounter problems, please let everyone know by posting a note at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback or by joining the office hours on Monday, 19 May 2014 at 18:00 UTC. If you'd like to get this on your own page, subscribe at Wikipedia:VisualEditor#Newsletter for English Wikipedia only or at meta:VisualEditor/Newsletter for any project. Thank you!

[edit]

No problem at all re your message - just thought it best to undo my edits because of the ongoing GA discussion - I won't make any further changes to the article itself now, as I think it will probably just cause some confusion. --Bcp67 (talk) 20:15, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. There's no need for the nominator to fix the points raised in the GA review, but it is what tends to happen. Shudde should be more than happy for you to make any fixes you see. Jamesx12345 20:48, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Breadalbane Hydro-Electric Scheme

[edit]

Hello Jamesx12345,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Breadalbane Hydro-Electric Scheme for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Hisonjsph (talk) 18:57, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2014 April newsletter

[edit]

Round 3 of the 2014 WikiCup has just begun; 32 competitors remain. Pool G's Oh, better far to live and die / Under the brave black flag I fly... Adam Cuerden (submissions) was Round 2's highest scorer, with a large number of featured picture credits. In March/April, he restored star charts from Urania's Mirror, lithographs of various warships (such as SMS Gefion) and assorted other historical media. Second overall was Pool E's Smithsonian Institution Godot13 (submissions), whose featured list Silver certificate (United States) contains dozens of scans of banknotes recently promoted to featured picture status. Third was Pool G's United States ChrisGualtieri (submissions) who has produced a large number of good articles, many, including Falkner Island, on Connecticut-related topics. Other successful participants included Rhodesia Cliftonian (submissions), who saw three articles (including the top-importance Ian Smith) through featured article candidacies, and Washington, D.C. Caponer (submissions), who saw three lists (including the beautifully-illustrated list of plantations in West Virginia) through featured list candidacies. High-importance good articles promoted this round include narwhal from Canada Reid,iain james (submissions), tiger from Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions) and The Lion King from Minas Gerais Igordebraga (submissions). We also saw our first featured topic points of the competition, awarded to Nepal Czar (submissions) and Indiana Red Phoenix (submissions) for their work on the Sega Genesis topic. No points have been claimed so far for good topics or featured portals.

192 was our lowest qualifying score, again showing that this WikiCup is the most competitive ever. In previous years, 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) or 100 (2010) secured a place in Round 3. Pool H was the strongest performer, with all but one of its members advancing, while only the two highest scorers in Pools G and F advanced. At the end of June, 16 users will advance into the semi-finals. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

New editor on Chinese emperors

[edit]

His changes to Emperor Wen of Han were odd - made him 2nd Han Emperor when he was 5th, change some dates, wrote about "inca abilities", etc. Might be a problem. Dougweller (talk) 18:16, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Some unusual scholarship going on there. I don't think it's trolling though, and it might be a good idea to refer (him) to the Teahouse. Jamesx12345 18:20, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for the inconvenience I have burdened you two with but I just felt that my comments shouldn't be deemed incorrect due to the fact that I am new to my ipad and the auto correct created two words from the one "inabilities" I would appreciate the change since I am currently teaching a college course and the students have been confused when I tell them the current news however the outdated information contradicts what I have said to them.

I'm afraid I don't have any knowledge about Chinese history, but you would be able to find help at the Reference desk (somebody could offer a quick answer to a question) or you could see WikiProject China, where editors with an interest in articles about Chinese topics can collaborate. Alternatively, the people at the Teahouse can help new editors. Thank you for not getting irate at the fact you have been reverted in several places - Wikipedia can feel extremely callous and impersonal if that happens.

Great to see the work you're doing on this page, and fascinating to watch the development of the various drafts. I've done the easy bit, adding a pic where before there wasn't sufficient space. Kim Traynor | Talk 10:29, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sir,

I made the change because there is no such thing as "U.S. Army Central Command." I work at the headquarters of U.S. Army Central (USARCENT or ARCENT), located in Patton Hall on Shaw Air Force Base, S.C. We fall under "U.S. Army Central Command," but that includes all branches of service.

VisualEditor newsletter—May 2014

[edit]

Did you know?

The cite menu offers quick access to up to five citation templates.  If your wiki has enabled the "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽" menu, press "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽" and select the appropriate template from the menu.

Existing citations that use these templates can be edited either using the "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽" tool or by selecting the reference and choosing the "⧼visualeditor-dialogbutton-reference-tooltip⧽" item in the "Insert" menu.

Read the user guide for more information.

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has mostly worked on the new citation tool, improving performance, reducing technical debt, and other infrastructure needs.

The biggest change in the last few weeks is the new citation template menu, labeled "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽". The new citation menu offers a locally configurable list of citation templates on the main toolbar. It adds or opens references using the simplified template dialog that was deployed last month. This tool is in addition to the "⧼visualeditor-dialogbutton-reference-tooltip⧽" item in the "Insert" menu, and it is not displayed unless it has been configured for that wiki. To enable this tool on your wiki, see the instructions at VisualEditor/Citation tool.

Eventually, the VisualEditor team plans to add autofill features for these citations. When this long-awaited feature is created, you could add an ISBN, URL, DOI or other identifier to the citation tool, and VisualEditor would automatically fill in as much information for that source as possible. The concept drawings can be seen at mw:VisualEditor/Design/Reference Dialog, and your ideas about making referencing quick and easy are still wanted.

  • There is a new Beta Feature for setting content language and direction.  This allows editors who have opted in to use the "Language" tool in the "Insert" menu to add HTML span tags that label text with the language and as being left-to-right (LTR) or right-to-left (RTL), like this:  <span lang="en" dir="ltr">English</span>. This tool is most useful for pages whose text combines multiple languages with different directions, common on Right-to-Left wikis.
  • The tool for editing mathematics formulae in VisualEditor has been slightly updated and is now available to all users, as the "⧼math-visualeditor-mwmathinspector-title⧽" item in the "Insert" menu. It uses LaTeX like in the wikitext editor.
  • The layout of template dialogs has been changed, putting the label above the field.  Parameters are now called "fields", to avoid a technical term that many editors are unfamiliar with.
  • TemplateData has been expanded:  You can now add "suggested" parameters in TemplateData, and VisualEditor will display them in the template dialogs like required ones.  "Suggested" is recommended for parameters that are commonly used, but not actually required to make the template work.  There is also a new type for TemplateData parameters: wiki-file-name, for file names.  The template tool can now tell you if a parameter is marked as being obsolete.
  • Some templates that previously displayed strangely due to absolute CSS positioning hacks should now display correctly.
  • Several messages have changed: The notices shown when you save a page have been merged into those used in the wikitext editor, for consistency.  The message shown when you "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cancel⧽" out of an edit is clearer. The beta dialog notice, which is shown the first time you open VisualEditor, will be hidden for logged-in users via a user preference rather than a cookie.  As a result of this change, the beta notice will show up one last time for all logged-in users on their next VisualEditor use after Thursday's upgrade.
  • Adding a category that is a redirect to another category prompts you to add the target category instead of the redirect.
  • In the "Images and media" dialog, it is no longer possible to set a redundant border for thumbnail and framed images.
  • There is a new Template Documentation Editor for TemplateData.  You can test it by editing a documentation subpage (not a template page) at Mediawiki.org: edit mw:Template:Sandbox/doc, and then click "Manage template documentation" above the wikitext edit box.  If your community would like to use this TemplateData editor at your project, please contact product manager James Forrester or file an enhancement request in Bugzilla.
  • There have been multiple small changes to the appearance:  External links are shown in the same light blue color as in MediaWiki.  This is a lighter shade of blue than the internal links.  The styling of the "Style text" (character formatting) drop-down menu has been synchronized with the recent font changes to the Vector skin.  VisualEditor dialogs, such as the "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-savedialog⧽" dialog, now use a "loading" animation of moving lines, rather than animated GIF images.  Other changes were made to the appearance upon opening a page in VisualEditor which should make the transition between reading and editing be smoother.
  • The developers merged in many minor fixes and improvements to MediaWiki interface integration (e.g., edit notices), and made VisualEditor handle Education Program pages better.
  • At the request of the community, VisualEditor has been deployed to Commons as an opt-in. It is currently available by default for 161 Wikipedia language editions and by opt-in through Beta Features at all others, as well as on several non-Wikipedia sites.

Looking ahead:  The toolbar from the PageTriage extension will no longer be visible inside VisualEditor. More buttons and icons will be accessible from the keyboard.  The "Keyboard shortcuts" link will be moved out of the "Page options" menu, into the "Help" menu. Support for upright image sizes (preferred for accessibility) and inline images is being developed. You will be able to see the Table of Contents while editing. Looking further out, the developers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments. VisualEditor will be available to all users on mobile devices and tablet computers. It will be possible to upload images to Commons from inside VisualEditor.

Aerotoxic Syndrome definition

[edit]

You recently reverted an edit on the Aerotoxic page on the basis that "You are wording it as if it is medically recognised, in a way that defies consensus." Can you please expand on defies consensus, who's consensus? Also in considering the definition take into consideration the following information http://ashsd.afacwa.org/?zone=/unionactive/view_article.cfm&HomeID=1397 as one reference that clearly shows the concern of the US government FAA and OHSA on the health effects of exposure to bleed air in cabins. I do not consider the definition i put forward as claiming it to be medically recognised it is simply defining what the phrase Aerotoxic syndrome is referring to at no point does it claim medical recognition.I await your response — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.201.232.255 (talk) 16:12, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus generally means a broad agreement on what the content of an article should look like, but it is quite flexible. According to some quick googling, it is not a recognised medical problem, and you would need to find a number of good-quality sources to suggest otherwise. I won't make any more reverts, per a policy known as WP:3RR, but bear in mind that another editor probably will if you don't make your wording slightly more impartial.

Mads Mikkelsen's role in the short film 'Tom Merritt'

[edit]

Mads Mikkelsen does not play the title role in Anders Gustafsson's short film, 'Tom Merritt'; rather, that would be David Bateson. Mads in fact plays the role of Elmer Karr. This is all demonstrated in the credits to Gustafsson's film. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.132.72.83 (talk) 17:46, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, my mistake. Thanks. Jamesx12345 17:49, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Klein Bikes, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Washington and Chehalis (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

User talk:Hrudayaspandanafoundation

[edit]

A tag has been placed on your user page, User talk:Hrudayaspandanafoundation, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service, and which is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages; user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: Click here to contest this speedy deletion which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy deletion candidate). Doing so will take you to your user talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also edit this page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would help make it encyclopedic. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. 331dot (talk) 11:02, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
