Trans fat

Hi Ken,

Yes, the fats pages aside from trans fat are not in good shape right now. My plan was to take on Trans and then move on to the rest, but I confess I'm a bit tired on that score. To answer your question, fully hydrogenated oils contain no double bonds, and are therefore a saturated fat (fully saturated with hydrogen). Trans fats have double bonds like all other unsaturated fats. It is only the conformation of the double bonds that makes them trans. Fully hydrogenated oils are not trans fat. The problem comes in interpreting labels which do not state 'partially' or 'fully', simply saying 'hydrogenated oil'. On these your guess is as good as mine, and likely depends on labelling laws in particular jurisdictions. There is a bit of information about criscio that alludes to some of this on the trans fat page, but I'll try and work in a little more. -- cmh^TC 18:56, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

merging

You just merged two articles. This should generally be proposed first with the {{mergeto}} and {{mergefrom}} templates. If a merge is necessary, an administrator should generally merge such merges to ensure that the edit histories are saved. If you need help orpoisng a merge, please let me know. Thanks -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 15:30, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I will go revert jamestown now. Actually, every edit ever made is saved in wikipedia and anybody can "revert" or go back to a previous version. You can click on ths history tab and then any revisions to see what has happened with an article in the past. That is why it is important to make sure merges are done properly. The work done here is under the GNU license or something. It is important to know who added what to the article, and when a merge is done improperly, it appears as though the person merging the article created all the content, when in fact they did not. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 16:51, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have to agree with -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider). Many of us in WikiProject Virginia have been working on Jamestown-related articles literally for several years now. Go to the Talk page if you truly wnat to contribute and want to collaborate with us. Thanks.

Mark in Historic Triangle of Virginia. Vaoverland 17:03, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comments on my Talk page. While I do not agree about separating history before 1699 and placing in Jamestown Settlement, my reason differs. My major concern is that "Jamestown Settlement" has been reused as the name for one of the major modern attractions there. (The attraction sponsored by our state is very nicely done; I am just concerned about naming confusion). Perhaps a new sub-article named "History of Jamestown" would be a better way to break out part of the article from the main Jamestown, Virginia article. That approach is consistent with WP hierarchy on other geographical articles. (ie see Virginia, West Virginia, Virginia Beach, Virginia, Richmond, Virginia etc. where we have done it that way.) And, lastly, I do agree with your thoughts that the lead is too long. Believe it or not, it has already undergone considerable condensation. Whatever is done, let's coordinate on the article's Talk page so no one is left out of the process. BTW, I am a WP administrator, so I can do the merge and/or move functions more smoothly if and when we do as -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) has suggested. Mark. Vaoverland 21:43, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jamestown proposal to improve

There have been many comments the Jamestown, Virginia article being just too big. After giving it a lot of thought, I think we could break out a major part of it into a sub-article, perhaps entitled "History of Jamestown Settlement", essentially covering the 17th century period, ending when the capital moved to Williamsburg. As a WP admininsitrator, I have the tools to do this and preserve the talk page and history, etc., but I surely do not want to move on it unilaterally. This is an important piece of WikiProject Virginia. Can we have some comments about this approach, please?

I would appreciate replies to be posted on this page: Talk:Jamestown, Virginia Thanks, Mark in Historic Triangle of Virginia Vaoverland 16:20, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comic strip see also

I'm not sure if "See also" is deprecated. If so, this page needs updating: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:GTL#See_also A different section of the same page has info on a deprecated use of see also.

The reason the categories were put in "See also" is because they were illuminating to the topic and a reader seeking basic info would be unlikely to check the categories. Perhaps the links can be worked into the text of the article.

Well, I'm looking at WP:GTL#See_also and Wikipedia:Annotated_article#See_also, and both state that we use see also for links to articles, which to me means not for categories. You're right that see also isn't being deprecated though. Now, a suggested compromise might be to look at the example of Cocktail and List of cocktails. What would you say to putting similar links at the top of List of comic strips? Would that square the circle? That seems a common usage of category links in articles. It doesn't appear to me that there's a consensus for category links in see also sections. I've been bold and made the edits at List of comic strips. See what you think. For what it is worth, I think most readers would know where the links to categories are. Off the top of my head I think in one of the skins they are at the top of the screen. Steve block Talk 19:54, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Ken, I switched the television programme text for the optheruses4 temp[late and placed that at the top. There's no real guidance on what goes in what order, but to me it feels better to redirect readers arriving at the wrong page first before launching into stuff related to the actual article. Hope that's okay. Steve block Talk 20:28, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Southern Unionist

Hi Kenmayer. You are off to such a great start on the article Southern Unionist that it may qualify to appear on Wikipedia's Main Page under the Did you know... section. The Main Page gets about 4,000,000 hits per day and appearing on the Main Page may help bring publicity and assistance to the article. However, there is a five day from article creation window for Did you know... nominations. Before five days pass from the date the article was created and if you haven't already done so, please consider nominating the article to appear on the Main Page by posting a nomination at Did you know suggestions. If you do nominate the article for DYK, please cross out the article name on the "Good" articles proposed by bot list. Also, don't forget to keep checking back at Did you know suggestions for comments regarding your nomination. Again, great job on the article. -- Jreferee ^(Talk) 17:10, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:42, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited List of Bob Dylan songs based on earlier tunes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Scarborough Fair (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.

Herodotus Book I

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Herodotus Book I, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.adudo.com/histories-herodotus/.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

June 2014

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Histories (Herodotus) into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:38, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've redirected that page back to the source article for now. I suggest that before splitting bits off from such an important article you consider seeking WP:consensus on the talk-page. In any case, please take care to provide attribution when copying text within Wikipedia. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:42, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your concern. It was not my intention to have the copied text just sitting there. I am incorporating Wikimedia assignments in an independent study class, and my student has been slow in fixing up this page and making it a useful and coherent part of Wikipedia. We anticipate doing a separate page for each book of Herodotus, correctly linked and structured so that they do not duplicate the main article. --Kenmayer (talk) 19:54, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bob Dylan singles not released on LP

The songs you added to this category ARE on LP. Perhaps Dylan B-sides or something? --John (User:Jwy/talk) 16:06, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I thought the songs I added were only on compilations like "Best of" or "Greatest Hits" but were never included in a canonical LP. Maybe that's a technical difference that doesn't matter? I started the list because I was shocked that I didn't have "Positively 4th Street" on my phone even though I knew I had all the Dylan albums from the 1960s. Turns out a few songs were missing, and that seemed important to me to find which ones those were. And I thought others would also find that info useful. Hence the wikipedia list.--Kenmayer (talk) 19:24, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure of all the wiki policies around categories, so I'm not sure whether your intent is one that is "within bounds." But if that's your category, the name is misleading - "Dylan recordings not on canonical LPs" is a bit awkward! (some of the songs were not even singles). An improved name and a short sentence on the category page describing it might do. --John (User:Jwy/talk) 03:28, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I totally agree. How about 'Dylan songs not on canonical albums'? As I said, I basically was looking for a list of the songs I needed to buy, looked for a list, and didn't find one. Thanks for your helpful suggestions.--Kenmayer (talk) 14:39, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
