User talk:Oysteinp

Welcome to my talk page!

If I initiate a conversation on your talk page, I will watch it (for a limited period of time) for responses. You can respond on your talk page and I will read it and follow-up there as needed. If you initiate a conversation here, I will respond here unless you specifically request otherwise. If you do, I will more than likely copy what you posted as well so that the conversation stays coherent.

Missing article

I see that structure factor is a requested article at Requested articles/Mathematical and Natural Sciences. I was planning to have a go at it myself but you may be better qualified. Alison Chaiken 02:03, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the vote of confidence :). I was planning to have a look at it at some point and I' try to get it done in the next couple of days. But if you want to do it go right ahead! O. Prytz 18:35, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Request for edit summary

Hi O. Prytz. I would like to ask you a request. It is good if you use an edit summary when you contribute, especially for big edits, or when you remove big chucks of text, like you did at Space group. Edit summaries are a way of documenting the changes in the history, and makes it easier for others to understand what you did and why. I hope you don't mind. :) Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 17:07, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't mind at all :). But as to the removal of screw axis and glide plane from the second part of the Space group article, I have commented on this on the talk page of the article. Also it was discussed on the talk page earlier. In the future I'll add an edit summary stating what I did and referring to the talk page if needed. O. Prytz 17:20, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You voted for Physical oceanography and this article is now the current Science Collaboration of the Month!
Please help to improve it to match the quality of an ideal Wikipedia science article.

Rollback of uncertainty principle vandalism

Your concern is noted, and believe me I do not take the heavy-handed use of admin powers lightly. However, that was an abusively-used sock puppet of a user who is now banned, and he was exhorting people to vandalize Wikipedia. Under the circumstances, I think a revert was very reasonable. You should also be aware that although it is beneficial in general to treat talk pages as free speech zones, they are not—they exist to serve the Wikipedia project, a purpose that was being totally subverted by the user in question. -- SCZenz 18:52, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I understand even though I might not agree. -O. Prytz 19:06, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Total re-write of the main Physics page is in progess

You might like to join us at Physics/wip where a total re-write of the main Physics page is in progess. At present we're discussing the lead paragraphs for the new version, and how Physics should be defined. I've posted here because you are on the Physics Project participant list. --MichaelMaggs 08:04, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Danras on Black Hole page

Thanks for reverting Danras's black-holes-don't-exist diatribe yet again. His methodology is pretty clear now;

Danras edits the article and inserts a contentious/fringe opinion.
A_User reverts to the canonical, calling Danras's edit OR and requesting a reference.
Danras reverts to his version, calling the original OR and requesting a reference!

I wouldn't be surprised that if you were to revert it more than twice, Danras would hit you with the three-revert rule...

I don't know what to do about the guy - he obviously has got it into his head that black holes can't exist (which is fine - he can believe what he likes) but has decided that Wikipedia is the place to inform the world. He won't debate the key point, that you can't put in OR, but instead points out what he doesn't like about the consensus picture and demands that all loopholes in current theory be explained to his satisfaction before he will allow them in. I've stopped arguing physics with him and now try to keep it entirely to procedure, where you don't need to know any physics to see he's wrong.--Oscar Bravo 12:17, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is a good idea, and most editors would see that it's reasonable to ask for a reference on something like this. I'll make sure not to violate 3RR. :) O. Prytz 12:24, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Electron diffraction

You asked for comments about Electron Diffration at my talk page. I think it is a great article, but it can only get a B-rating as long as it is not a GA. The biggest problem with the article, IMO, is the lack of references. You need to cite your references more explicitly, ie. after an interesting point etc. write the pagenumber and name of your reference. Eg. the article mentiones the wavelength of diffrent SEM's and TEM, but it does not cite its sources.

Is it possible to write this in traditional exponential form: relative errors less than 10^-3, I mean where the number 3 is raised?

But besides these points, I think it is a great article, so just keep up the good work! Snailwalker | talk 16:12, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank's for the tips, I'll look into adding more references! O. Prytz 17:39, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You'r welcome, I know how nice it is to get feedback on your work. I hope we will see an FA soon :-) Snailwalker | talk 23:23, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Physics participation

You received this message because your were on the old list of WikiProject Physics participants.

On 2008-06-25, the WikiProject Physics participant list was rewritten from scratch as a way to remove all inactive participants, and to facilitate the coordination of WikiProject Physics efforts. The list now contains more information, is easier to browse, is visually more appealing, and will be maintained up to date.

If you still are an active participant of WikiProject Physics, please add yourself to the current list of WikiProject Physics participants. Headbomb {ταλκ – WP Physics: PotW} 16:01, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Electron scattering all grown up

Hi Oysteinp,

I'm writing to you regarding the Electron scattering stub you created on the 31st December 2005. I am a 4th year student at the University of Glasgow, and as part of my 4th year project I had to find an article on Wikipedia in need of improvement, writing, or expansion and implement a more effective article. The article I chose to improve upon was your electron scattering stub.

As the person who initialized the stub, it would be great to have your feedback on how it has grown over the last couple of months with my input. I am currently expanding the "Types of scattering" section, so it is a work in progress. Nevertheless it would be great to get your feedback, and maybe some background on what drove you to write the stub in the first place.

Thanks, IndianFace (talk) 21:45, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Image-Crystallography-sketch2.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Image-Crystallography-sketch2.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Proposed deletion of File:Crystallography-sketch.jpg

The file File:Crystallography-sketch.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Orphaned image, a duplicate (fixed size, lower resolution) version was used on the uploader's user page. It was later superseded by File:Crystallography-sketch.png, which provided color-coding of the topics in the chart. Unlikely to have future encyclopedic use. WP:NOTWEBHOST

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Proposed deletion of Ingvild Julie Thue Jensen

The article Ingvild Julie Thue Jensen has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Promotional article about a non-notable academic created with a conflict of interest by a self-disclosed professor of physics at the University of Oslo. This article serves no encyclopedic value and instead only acts as a résumé written by someone close to the subject.
