Turns ratio

Regarding this edit, to which talk page discussion are you referring in the edit summary? I could not find the discussion, nor see the point, the link seems perfectly valid to me. SpinningSpark 09:10, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is there now. My apologies. Overjive (talk) 16:58, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I rewrote the target of the turns ratio link to describe the conflicting definitions, so the link is now back. Overjive (talk) 01:16, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Leakage flux of a transformer - diagram

Here is my quick attempt. A pro might be able to get the arrows and dash lengths right.

Update: the drawing has been replaced by a version with the arrow directions fixed.

Disambiguation link notification for September 17

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited High Energy Astronomy Observatory 3, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page TRW (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.

Nomination of Silent English alphabet for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Silent English alphabet is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Silent English alphabet until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. - BilCat (talk) 10:42, 15 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Overjive, I appreciate the time you put into improving the Silent English alphabet page and defending it (albeit unsuccessfully) from deletion. I am not much active here anymore, and I almost missed the whole event. Sorry to see your thoughtful work go to waste. -- Valli Nagy 00:10, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

Updating File:S and P 500 chart 1950 to 2016 with averages.png and other images on S&P 500?

I was wondering if you had code that was used to generate the images, which are a few years outdated. I'd love to help, and possibly get the relevant code added to the image description/summary boxes, so others could update in the future.

Let me know what you think! = paul2520 💬 13:57, 22 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Paul2520:

When I added those graphs, I updated the data while maintaining the same appearance as the previous graphs by another user. If I were to do it again I would eliminate the moving averages from the first graph to improve the visibility of the data: clarity seems more important than continuity of appearance. Also, the data does not include dividends and the captions should indicate that.

I took the data from Yahoo Finance, but that link needs to be extended to 1950. Yahoo used to generate a .csv file, but I do not see that option now. I notice that Yahoo shows price data extending back to 1929, and I don't remember why my graphs start at 1950. The likely reason is that the previous user's graphs started there.

I still have the Excel spreadsheet (.xlsx) which can be modified to manually produce updated graphs. I can upload that spreadsheet if that will help your efforts. If so, please let me know. Cheers, Overjive (talk) 07:07, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That would be super helpful! And thanks for the improvement suggestions, as well.

I would think you could just upload the spreadsheet(s) to Wikimedia Commons, and link them to the original images (or just share the link with me & I can do so). = paul2520 💬 02:10, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
