Because they are dead. Doesn't matter how shallow the after is, this aircraft didn't land, it crashed hard into the water. The body picture shows clothing ripped off except underwear and that is evidence of aerodynamic forces rippin clothes as a body enters free fall. Re: inflight breakup probability very high. Regardless, no one survives a crash like this one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skrupp1015 (talk • contribs) 23:49, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Can you cite a source for those deductions/conclusions? Remember, seemingly obvious conclusions by WP editors have no place in the articles. Why don't you express your opinions about this on the article talk page? That is where discussions leading to a consensus take place. Thanks. Layzeeboi (talk) 23:56, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Again, welcome! Iryna Harpy (talk) 04:34, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I could not find a link to report a problem with page indexing. Here is the problem that I noticed: A search for "Kapitza resistance", an important issue in low temperature physics, redirects to its discoverer Pyotr Kapitsa (note the alternative spelling). This is presumably because the term "Kapitsa resistance" appears appropriately in that article (I made it a link). Nevertheless, I think that search term should directly point to Interfacial thermal resistance, where "Kapitza resistance" appears explicitly in the first sentence as a synonym. Is the usual solution to this to create two redirect pages called "Kaptisa resistance" and "Kapitza resistance". Or is there another solution to alternate spellings? (I checked the FAQs without success.) Thanks!

I'm looking into this, will have a more complete response shortly.--SPhilbrick (Talk) 22:38, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The redirect of Kapitza resistance to Pyotr Kapitsa was created in 2007. (Sometimes, it is helpful to talk to the editor who created the redirect, but the editor has edited since 2009, so that is unlikely to be helpful.)

Interfacial thermal resistance was created in 2009, long after the original redirect.

I agree that Kapitza resistance should redirect to Interfacial thermal resistance. Do you want to do it, or do you want me to do it?--SPhilbrick (Talk) 22:41, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm happy to do it, if you confirm my supposition about the need to create a redirect page for every alternative spelling.

Layzeeboi (talk) 23:05, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There's never a need to do anything:), but redirects for plausible alternative spellings are allowed.--SPhilbrick (Talk) 23:44, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Indonesia AirAsia Flight 8501, Self-published source?

Yesterday, you inserted a paragraph in the Response section of this article in which pilots described the nature of thunderstorms. The source was a forum by and for professional pilots. In general, Internet forum postings are not acceptable as Wikipedia sources because (a) they don't have independent fact-checkers and (b) we don't accept just anyone's PoV. See WP:BLOGS. I have flagged this paragraph and its source. --RoyGoldsmith (talk) 22:58, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Teixobactin

I responded to you on my talk page :) Mythomane (talk) 07:48, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your opposition to the nomination, if I understand correctly, seems to be an opposition to the wording of the blurb, not the importance of the discovery itself. I suggest you propose an altblurb (just edit the section and add it to the template) or let me know if you need help. If you simply oppose the story altogether, then don't worry, but even then, you are still entitled to propose a more appropriate blurb, in case the nomination passes. μηδείς (talk) 22:03, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We have now removed the claim altogether from the Teixobactin article, because we were unable to find a correct statement about "25 years". Please see the continuing conversation on the talk page for that article. Layzeeboi (talk) 22:19, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nice try, but on WP:Antibiotic, we read: "Antibiotics or antibacterials are a type of antimicrobial used specifically against bacteria, and are often used in medical treatment of bacterial infections." Although the term "antibiotic" is usually used in a medical context, there it is used as code/slang for "approved antibiotic drug". But it's exact meaning is as above. Chlorine bleach is an antibiotic. There must have been many new exotic chemicals synthesized recently that kill bacteria, but can never become a drug because they're toxic to mammals. Maybe you can find a less careless source saying something like "If Teixobactin were developed into an approved drug, it would become the first new antibiotic drug to be discovered in 30 years."Layzeeboi (talk) 17:15, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the first words in the article are "Teixobactin is an antibiotic". And I haven't seen any source that refers to Teixobactin as anything other than an antibiotic, so...? --AmaryllisGardener ^talk 17:18, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, our article is correct, but your sources are careless. At the moment, Teixobactin is not an antibiotic drug, only an antibiotic, like chlorine bleach (except it has been shown to be non-toxic to mice, although not yet to humans.) And your sources are misleading, perhaps for the sake of hype, because they entice the reader to assume "approved antibiotic drug" when they read "antibiotic". (In fact, your quote does not appear in the Bloomberg article, only its headline, which was probably written by someone else.) Layzeeboi (talk) 17:25, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And I worded it as it was an "antibiotic", not an "antibiotic drug". --AmaryllisGardener ^talk 18:45, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
We don't seem to be understanding each other. That's precisely what makes it incorrect. There have been lots of non-drug antibiotics in the last 25 years. Please carefully read my item on the article talk page. Layzeeboi (talk) 19:08, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

AirAsia edit

Hi. I conceed that the 447 crash could be relevant. However, the other incidents on that page that I removed were not. Also, why remove the Ukrainian crash, as it appears to be the most simmilar incident involving a large passenger jet to this crash. I hope you'll consider my points. Thank you Aardwolf Nirvana (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 00:43, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your response. In regard to the possibility of engine failure, the information that we have at the moment does not seem to be consistent with a weather induced flameout, and instead strongly suggests a conventional stall scenario Aardwolf Nirvana (talk) 02:59, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for my use of words. What I meant by a 'conventional stall' was a purely aerodynamic one. Disregarding this, I do not reject that there is a possibility of there having been an engine failure scenario like that of the Garuda plane, but nor do I reject any other possible causes of the flight path for which no evidance released so far is suggestive. If we were to include the Garuda incident by this logic, then we would have to include all cases of engine flameout caused by bad weather, or indeed all cases of engine flameout full stop, as a failure could have coincidentally occurred in the storm and had nothing more to do with it, not to mention a multitude of instrument or flight surface failures. Time will tell which scenario was correct, and the Garuda incident could very well replace the Ukrainian tragardy. However, at least at the moment the latter is the crash with the greatest simularities while any relation to the former remains unsubstantiated.

Too much detail in Stellerator article

Hi User:Layzeeboi. You undid some of my edits on Wendelstein_7-X (specifically un-deleting the "microwave heating was applied for a short 1.3 MW pulse" bit). I think this is excessive detail about a single experiment in an encyclopedia article about a reactor. Richard☺Decal (talk) 21:13, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comment, User:Richard.decal. I don't feel strongly about this, but I have two comments. This wasn't just "a" single experiment, but a (long-delayed) major milestone on a 20-year billion-$ project. On the other hand, this detail illustrates to at least those with some technical background that it was a very cautious and limited first step, to avoid a perception of hype. Layzeeboi (talk) 01:21, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't keeping me up at night, either :) I would consider what you just wrote to be notable. However, saying "1 mg of He was heated with a 1.3 MW pulse" is alien-speak to a non-technical audience. How would you feel about something like, "On 10 December 2015 the project reached a major milestone towards becoming an operational reactor by superheating a small amount of helium gas to a 1×106 K plasma."Richard☺Decal (talk) 06:50, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that a non-technical audience will not benefit. But I assume that we shouldn't restrict all of our content to be accessible to a general audience. If we did that, much of the material in scientific articles would have to disappear, particularly in physics. I think for such material, we should try to include as much widely accessible information as is practical, but also include enough details to satisfy the needs of people with some expertise in the subject. In fact, probably most scientific articles reflect this, although some are still useful only to experts. (I do what I can about that. :) Layzeeboi (talk) 07:50, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to take a look at our first article

Hi!

We are students writing an article on Colors of Biotechnology as part of our class Academic Discourse and Writing at Tec de Monterrey. Since you are an experienced Wikipedian and have interest in these kind of topics, we would like you to know if you could take a few moments to take a look at the article and give us feedback. Thank you for your time. --Nahomi Alonso (talk) 21:16, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi User:Nahomi Alonso. I feel that I don't have enough information about the criteria by which your article should be considered. For example, is the content or substance of the article intended to be WP:Notable by the standards of Wikipedia? Are the cited sources intended to qualify as WP:RS? If so, then I am skeptical about both. At first I had difficulty finding mention of these "colours" in the WP article Biotechnology, but then I finally found them in Biotechnology#Examples. But there are no inline citations there for sources supporting the statements about colours, so those statements should be challenged. Also, the WikiLinks that appear there such as Blue biotechnology are useless, because they merely lead back to the beginning of that article. I am a senior scientist (not in biology) who browses a lot of news sources, and I had never heard of these "colours". And the motivation for these colours seems weak. Isn't it just as easy to write "agriculture" as "green"? Then the readers don't have to remember what the colours mean. And anyway, "green" already is understood by many people to refer to environmental science and technology, often not involving agriculture. Lastly, you write "Biotechnology combines… It uses… ", which seems to be a gross over-statement. At most a small fraction of biotechnologists concern themselves with these colours. If some do, you need to immediately provide the context — which subset, and why only them? (Probably the rest are skeptical like me.)

I can make some comments about style. Most seriously, your citations are non-standard, and very difficult for the reader to use. I had to scan the whole list of References to find each keyword. Why not use the WP style? Then the numbering is automatic, adapting to any citation insertions in the future. (Other word processing systems offer a similar facility, which becomes essential for larger documents with lots of citations.) To see examples of how to do this, hit the "Edit" button while viewing the article Biotechnology to view that source text. (Just don't hit "Save"!) When you are citing a source with a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), such as your first source, then it is really easy — just paste the DOI into this form, and then copy and paste the result into your text where you want the citation to appear. If you need to cite the same source more than once, then you later paste in only the first bit with a slash: '<ref name="refname"/>' When the source doesn't have a DOI, you can follow these instructions. Or you can construct the whole template manually.

The lede (introduction), and much of the rest of the article, is a list of single-sentence paragraphs, which doesn't seem suitable for their content. Some are not even sentences. You should also use or pay attention to a spell checker. I recommend that you study the article Biotechnology to learn how to present information about this topic in a useful form (except for the section about "colours":).

I became curious about ITESM and the city of Monterrey, about which I knew nothing so I looked at those WP articles. Impressive! Also these articles seem good quality. If you decide that the "Colors" topic that you have chosen may not be convenient for your primary goal of developing your writing skills, then I suggest that you may consider writing about something you really know about. Those two articles contain many WikiLinks shown in red color because those WP articles do not yet exist. So one possibility is to choose one of those red topics, perhaps because of its relative importance or your personal interest, and create that WP article. You could first create it in a sandbox as you did for this "colors" article. If you did choose to do this, I would be happy to offer comments. Layzeeboi (talk) 06:19, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

February 2018

Hello, I'm Zefr. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Miraculin have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Zefr (talk) 01:29, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think your gross reversion is irresponsible, destructive, and lazy. Most of my additions are supported by impeccable (new) sources, including articles in scientific journals. If you objected to a couple of citations, why didn't you try to be more constructive, and address only them? Take a look at WP:PRESERVE to learn more about Wikipedia.

Colchicine

On my talk page, you said: I noted that you reverted (not my original addition) with the explanation "No regulatory approval for such use". Did you have some particular country in mind? In many countries, approval for some condition(s) implies applicability for (m)any off-label use(s).

There's no scientific evidence that would meet WP:MEDRS or regulatory approval by any country that colchicine is used to treat COVID-19 infections. I'll be fixing the article again, as this is preliminary research only, and is not encyclopedic content to indicate it is in routine clinical use. See research status here. Under WP:BURDEN, you - as the proposer of such information - have to provide the MEDRS source for this (which doesn't exist). Further discussion should go on the colchicine talk page.
