User talk:ZFT

Welcome

Hello, ZFT, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} and your question on your user talk page, and someone will show up shortly to answer. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Moonraker12 (talk) 10:23, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Indian princely states

I noticed your questions at Talk:British Raj and Talk:Princely state but didn’t get round to answering them, though I see others have already done so.
On the point about Pudukkottai state, though, the map you mentioned does, in fact, show it as a native state. It’d be the area in yellow next to the "M" in "Madras Presidency" (south of what was then Trichinopoly).
I hope this, and the comments at Talk:British Raj have clarified the issue for you. Moonraker12 (talk) 10:32, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

PS: It isn’t really a good ides to delete comments from a talk page once they've been posted (see the talkpage guidelines on this); it’s better to strike them through with a comment if you need to (“not relevant now” or “changed my mind” or somesuch). Just a tip for the future! Happy editing! Moonraker12 (talk) 10:38, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

February 2013

Hello, I'm Jschnur. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Fonuafo'ou, with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, I restored the removed content. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Jschnur (talk) 04:49, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Budweiser (Anheuser-Busch), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pledge (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.

Lake Balaton

Hi ZFT, I was just answering you when I found that you had reverted your question. Here is my answer, just in case it's useful to you - delete it if you prefer.

Lake Balaton?

What about the Lake Balaton rift?ZFT (talk) 18:16, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's not actually clear that Lake Balaton is a rift, although the Pannonian Basin as a whole is certainly a result of crustal extension, but I can't find anything definitive about the lake itself. The Pannonian Basin was not formed in a similar way to the ECRS, being a result of extensional collapse of the Carpathians aided by roll-back of the subducting slab [1].

Crowned republic

Just because an editor adds text which is not supported by a reliable source to one article, that is no reason to propagate it through Wikipedia. To add information to Wikipedia which has been challenged the burden is on you to come up with a reliable source that supports the information. Also this is not something that needs to go in the lead, but needs first to be added to the body of the articles and then summarised in the lead. -- PBS (talk) 22:29, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The text was added to Stadtholder by Fastifex (see Revision as of 17:47, 26 February 2006). Fastifex is still active so you could enquire of Fastifex if there is a reliable source for the information. -- PBS (talk) 22:47, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Sideband

ZFT, I would suggest that you give up on the conversation at Talk:Sideband. I'm not sure that we can help you any further and the page is meant for discussing improvements to the article, not to help you understand. We have a science reference desk where knowledge questions can be asked. But really, you need to work through the mathematics before you will get a true understanding of what is going on. As I said in the previous conversation, it is much easier to see intuitively that the signal is composed of three frequency components by looking at it in the form of a phasor diagram. See this book page for that. Vector addition of the three components just results in a single vector changing in length (ie a single frequency changing in amplitude).

Novella

According to the cited source, a tad under 20,000 words is a novelettes, and tad over 50,000 is a short novel. In between the two is a novella.

Hi ZFT, per WP:INTDAB, intentional links to disambiguation pages should always go through an article title that contains '(disambiguation)', even if that is a redirect.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Wikipedia talk:No original research, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting.
