License tagging for Image:Inkeri.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Inkeri.png. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 14:11, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Your input requested
Hi. A proposal on the re-creation of WP:RUSSIA is currently underway at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Russia/Proposal. One of the main points is that we should have workgroups covering different topics. We are trying to ascertain the interest of editors in various workgroups under WP:RUSSIA, such as history, politics, biographical, etc; as your userpage indicates you are Russian or live in Russia, perhaps you can take a read of the proposal, comment on it wherever you have thoughts, and perhaps provide details of any Russian topics you may be interested and are willing to collaborate with other editors on? Your input is valued. Cheers. --Russavia Dialogue Stalk me 20:30, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
IRCd Operator abuse
I noticed your note in the html of IRCd. The Operator abuse section is valid but could be written better and certainly needs references. There were quite a number of operators who were sanctioned on EFnet in the mid to late 1990s over that sort of behavior (I actually could name names of a number of those operators but that might not be a good idea on wiki). There should be archived emails of this stuff still around, possibly on the EFnet website somewhere. Google should turn up something. Another place to check for archived copies of this stuff would be Google Groups usenet archives. A good bit of IRC admin discussion still took place on usenet and other stuff discussed via email listserv was often reflected to the IRC-related usenet groups.

Neptune's winds
I saw you made a change to the lead of the wind article. What is the source of your addition? It needs to be in the article below, using a cite nnnn reference, or someone could potentially send the article to FAR. Thegreatdr (talk) 22:12, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
- Nevermind. The information was already in the article below. When you work on an article for a few months, you can forget what you've thrown in there. Thegreatdr (talk) 22:13, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
- There is a lot of references in Neptune#Climate about velocity of that winds. I am not sure that namely these two planets have “strongest winds”. Should we mention only Saturn, if winds on Neptune and, possibly, Jupiter are stronger? I have no objections to throwing the mention of planets away. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 09:28, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
- No, we can't throw them out per the wind FAC comments, which forced their inclusion. What you did was fine. Thegreatdr (talk) 13:06, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
Alcohol abuse
I see that you have moved 'USA College binge drinking' back to 'Alcohol abuse'.
I agree with you that 'Alcohol abuse' is a serious, international subject. The content of the article, however, does not describe the disease or its effects in the world. The content describes the problems of college students in the United States.
Could I suggest that you undo the move and start a new article 'Alcohol abuse' with content about the disease and its problems in the world? A stub would be valuable as a begining. Thanks! jmcw (talk) 10:06, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

MAKS 2009
Hello Incnis Mrsi!
I want to state one question to you: From August 19th until August 23rd the MAKS Airshow takes place again in Zhukovsky, near Moscow. Do you have the time to go there in order to take a lot of photos? Would be unique contribution for Wikimedia. I hope your response is positive.

Your rollback request
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/df/Wikipedia_Rollback.svg/80px-Wikipedia_Rollback.svg.png)
I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback correctly, and for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. Arbitrarily0 (talk) 11:37, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
- Said what? I will use rollback, of course, at least for some years. Thank you very much and don’t remove anything from my rights, please ☺ Incnis Mrsi (talk) 18:43, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
2 ru interwikis at 1 page?
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Wikipedias&curid=6050087&diff=348177056&oldid=347013010 I don't think that's correct. --Obersachse (talk) 10:14, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
- Of course, I made it in a way which you don't like. You was welcomed to the discussion, but you recently declared something like “I want to eliminate links between different namespaces because such links usually lead to interwiki conflicts. But [my position] was fiercely attacked in en.wiki and now let him/them care about interwiki and incorrect links without me, as they are so smart”[1]. OK, I am so smart and I fixing the problem in my openly planned way, which appears to face no objections. Please, try to present your arguments for interwiki purism again in that already established discussion. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 11:11, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
- Your way (linking to more than one page of a language) causes interwikiconflicts. --Obersachse (talk) 15:46, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
Re: Counter-vandalism
Hello and thanks for the reminder. I am well aware that I sometimes miss previous edits in a series of vandalism but most of the time I actually check the page history and then take the last good version to reset the article. Moreover, I think rollback is rather impractical because a) it needs to be applied for, b) any coded tool is only as practical as the code applied and c) not all edits by the same editor in a row are likely vandalism. So I prefer to use the "undo" button for single edits or just to restore an older version from scratch. De728631 (talk) 21:43, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
Reviewer permission
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c7/Redaktor_Wikipedia_600px.png/130px-Redaktor_Wikipedia_600px.png)
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:18, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Time in Russia info.
My rationale is this: on March 27 this year, Russia will advance their clocks forward but it will not actually be daylight saving time, as they will be keeping "summer time" for the whole year. As a result, I reworded all mentions of daylight saving time, but, following March 27, I will advance the time offsets for all Russian time zones by an hour to reflect actual time usage. If you think this is presumptuous of me, then the reverts you have done are OK with me (except that the table for the tz database will need to be changed so that it is a bit more consistent), but I think that some sort of edit similar to what I have done should be performed after March 27 to prevent confusion. ZanderSchubert (talk) 10:42, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
Existence of free protons in ordinary liquids
Here I mean "ordinary" as on Earth at STP, not in the cores of neutron stars. No, free protons do not exist in liquids, since they always attach themselves to the electron cloud in the nearest molecule/anion, which is always available. There may exist free "solvated electrons" in liquids (like sodium dissolving in liquid ammonia to give a nice color), but electrons have sqrt(1836) = 43 times longer wavelengths than do protons, at any energy. A proton at room temp has a wavelength of 2 angstroms or so, which is far too small for them to sit in a cage between negatively charged anions and not be able to make a choice of which way to go and which to sit on, like the proverbial donkey starving between piles of hay. Protons have no reason to delocalize at room temperature.
Yes, I know the article on superacids talks about free protons in liquids, but it gives no references, and frankly I don't believe it. Ab initio QM calculations show protons hopping from anion-to-anion in the strongest superacid known, just as they do in water, via the Grotthuss mechanism. See [2].
So, some editor who claims to know what he's talking about, has reverted me on this point. There's my cite and there's my reasoning. Now, what have YOU got? And by the way, I'm going to go add a [citation needed] to the statement in superacids. SBHarris 00:36, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
"... think about what you upload into Wikipedia!"
I used to leave comments like that until I learned that insult and arrogance interfere with editing. --Smokefoot (talk) 18:52, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
Please, explain, what means this[3] edit. It is highly implausible that a very experienced user is not familiar with well known things about page moves and maintaining edit histories. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 11:06, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
- You may find it "highly implausable" that a highly experienced editor did not know there was a reason not to move a page by copy-and-paste, but this is the first I've heard of a need to preserve a sacrosanct edit history for copyright purposes. You'd think that with all the destruction of contested articles, that are eventually again started in another form or by another name (with no attribution to previous versions), and then kept, that somebody would have mentioned this potential alligator in the swamp. ;) Never have I seen a mention of it in the RfD wars. Nor did I know that non-admins can move a page using page-move. So, I learned two things. Next time, I'll do it correctly. Thanks for the lesson. SBHarris 18:11, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
Nomination of PNG Stereo for deletion
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5f/Ambox_warning_orange.svg/42px-Ambox_warning_orange.svg.png)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article PNG Stereo 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/PNG Stereo until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good 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 template from the top of the article. — Smjg (talk) 23:24, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
Redirect suggestion
For a relatively new editor, you certainly had a bright idea on the MOS (linking) page about redirects rather than # direct links. I never even thought of that. Brilliant! And well-explained to boot. Keep up the good work! Student7 (talk) 22:17, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
- I am not a new editor. I contribute since 2005 and have over 12,000 Wikipedia edits in various languages. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 12:26, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry. (I call everybody "young fellow" when they are younger than me! You have 1/4 of my edits!). Still a good idea though. Student7 (talk) 19:03, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

"name = equation"...
Cheers - I did try that when I created the account and started on wikipedia but it didn't work. I'm not sure if it really matters; the caret-wedge shape symbol ⋀ and the cross-times symbol × are both used for the vector product of two vectors, so its not completley unrecognizible. Thats whats in the formula - the vector product of velocity v and magnetic field B. The process of changing names seems lengthly and involved, somehow, and you need to see Bureaucrats and all that. I would rather just stick to the current name and continue to edit - but thanks again =) Happy New Year! -- F = q(E + v × B) 17:25, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

(Assertive?) reply from Dirac equation (section)
Please excuse this intrusion, but you've got it all wrong, Incnis Mrsi. I never become insulted, or look for credit becuase I'm so self-obsessed with my edits, or any of that crap. All I ask for is feedback on my edits, becuase I really would like to know if people think mine are really bad, and what other editors prefer instead (whenever I appear to be "insulted", although not). I really don't mind if others obliterate my edits in place of better content (also - the point of Wikipedia would defeated if this were not so).
Of course: anyone may assume what they assume, but thats the truth. It just becomes irritating when a statement like that is made without reason. -- F = q(E + v × B) 20:00, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Datagram vs. Virtual circuit
Datagram
- Connectionless
- Every packet is processed independently
- Each packet (from the same message) can be transferred through any reasonable path as long as they are going closer to the destination mentioned in each packet's info
- Packets can arrive in a different order
- Packets can get lost
- It's the receiver's job to "order" the missed packets and organize them in a proper order
Virtual circuit
- Connection-oriented
- Before sending each message the path is decided for every packet
- Connection is request- and accept control-packets (handshake)
- Instead of destination info, each packet has a description of its own virtual circuit
As you can see, datagram and virtual circuit are indeed opposite of each other. I am returning my edit to both articles.
If still in doubt, please don't change the articles any more, but:
- read some books (like the Tanenbaum's Computer Networks).
- create the open discussion and tell me about it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mixer (talk • contribs) 21:59, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
Center of mass
Regarding your recent revert with the comment to "please, walk through average and arithmetic mean links to verify that such definitions are inapplicable to most bodies. the only relevant case would be a body composed of several *identical* particles":
Please note that my wording was "average location of all the mass", not "average location of all the particles". If the mass is unevenly distributed at different points, the average location of the mass will reflect that. This is in agreement with the average of a function:
Make it a triple integral over the entire body or set of bodies, define f(x) as the mass density, and you have the average location of the mass, which is the mass center. MarcusMaximus (talk) 21:08, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
- Indeed, I have the mean density. And what do you have? Incnis Mrsi (talk) 05:36, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
My mistake in defining the integrand. I should have defined f(x)=x*ρ(x), which is a generic position vector x multiplied by the density function ρ evaluated at the position x. The integral is taken over all the mass, and the leading factor is 1/mass. Now the result is the center of mass, right? MarcusMaximus (talk) 04:20, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Changes to Absolute Value page
Incnis Mrsi, While I agree with your reasoning for reverting the absolute value page as you did, I think it was rather clumsy of you to undo a change several edits back without more careful examination of the content.

Delete key edits
Hello Incnis- I saw your edits to the Delete key article, partially reverting my previous ones, and wanted to let you know that the way I changed the lead sentence did in fact retain the article title as its subject. The construction "performs a function...which is to discard" is quite awkward English, which is why I changed it. In addition, I believe it is preferred practice on WP to use italics in lieu of double quotes for presenting terms the way del and delete were in the last sentence. I don't want you to think I made my edits without considering well what I was doing. I think your addition of the delete key "x" symbol is an improvement, though this imageis more representative, I believe. I hope if you consider what I've written, you will agree that my edits were improvements to the article intro. Regards, Eric talk 23:03, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
My research found MANY Paul Dohertys just in the UK. There is a scientist, a (I believe) footballer or some such sport, and there is a musician, and then there is another writer, and then the author in the article. There are several also in Ireland and the U.S. These are just the FAMOUS ones. Mugginsx (talk) 11:36, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
- Although I gave you a chance, you did not present any other Paul C. Doherty, famous or not especially so, but anyone (but the author) who could meet WP:BIO. Just one concrete objection, and I would stop. Since your adding of "(author)" appeared to be redundant, I reverted it. You did not discuss you move (which was made against guidelines), so I did not announce my revert, which rectified the page title according to a guideline. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 14:12, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
- Incris Mrsi, Would you please tell me what or why you did this?
- (Move log); 10:50 . . Incnis Mrsi (talk | contribs) moved page Paul C. Doherty to User:Mugginsx/Paul C. Doherty without leaving a redirect (kicking off a meddled redirect created by two hasty and reckless page moves – unfortunalety I have not a sysop to suppress)
- It looks like you tried to move the entire article to MY talk page?
For the record, I did not interfer with your changing of the article name in ANY way, though I disagreed with it and moved the explanation for my disagreement where it should have been discussed in the first place, i.e., on the article talk page. This is perfectly acceptable Wiki practice. Mugginsx (talk) 13:43, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
- Nope. It was a side effect of a WP:MOR. If you do not like that pages in your user space, use {{db-u1}} on [4][5]. And move a page once next time. Unlike edits, a page move is a resource-consuming operation and should not be done hastily. First think, then move, not versa. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 14:12, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

- Sure, this guy is so busy that removes a thing he just do not like from his user talk page. The censorship is a big busyness. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 17:39, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
- If there is some reason you cannot edit articles today I apologize in advance, but tell me, what is the point of arguing on Wikipedia instead of editing? If you do not know what article to work on there is a section entitled: Wikipedia:Articles for creation. At the present we are short on editors and long on troublemakers. This will surely give you something creative to do. Mugginsx (talk) 17:45, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
- I ever edited 1938 pages in en.wiki's main namespace, not counting contributions on Wikimedia Commons and Russian Wikipedia. When I do not edit articles, I spend my time fixing mistakes of Wikipedia users which have dozen times more hits to "Save", "Move" or "Delete" than distinct articles edited. Or, sometimes, arguing with them. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 19:21, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
- Well, you finally interjected some humor. While I have been editing articles, you have spent these hours looking at statistics to see what you could say about me. As I said, we are short on editors and long on troublemakers. Mugginsx (talk) 20:00, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

I could use a little more elaboration on what you think was wrong with the edit. Correctly replacing three hyphen-minuses with two minus signs and one en dash was correct in these circumstances. StringTheory11 (t • c) 18:41, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Article: "Boolean algebra (structure)": "Examples" diagrams
Regarding the three example Boolean logic diagrams (under "Examples"), the "and" and the "or" symbols need to be exchanged in their respective example diagrams.

Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors. Thank you. Your edit summaries come across as condescending and border-line personal attacks, and not least are pointy behaviour. Please refrain from hostile commentary within edit summaries. Please comment on content, not contributors, per Wikipedia guidelines. If you don't have anything good to say, don't leave a summary at all, that way you can't be accused of offending anyone. Such attacks may be reported as uncivil. Please respect other editors, and in return they will respect you. Thanks for your understanding. Ma®©usBritish{chat} 10:54, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
- Yet another personal remark without diffs (I mean the section #Proton above). One of things the most detrimental to the collaborative spirit is such ambiguous and imprecise accusations. If not on my personal talk page, I just ignore it. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 11:15, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
- what a crap?
- why do you think that U.S.Americans were always the first? "Early" actually means - →1941: . also, three different(!) misspells of "Ploiești" detected (sorry, can't fix "Polesti" because it is in a file name) – is it a record?
- MISERABLE_FAILURE
- I hope, there are many people in Engilsh Wikipedia who know when World War II was started
- Seems "collaborative spirit" is something which eludes you, given that these are just a few of your uncivil remarks in edit summaries. Your retort, however, carries no weight. Evidence does. Further attacks on editors such as this will be brought to admin attention. In short, stop being a WP:DICK by making obnoxious summaries to get your own way. WP:AGF is a core principal of Wiki. You seem to forget thet with remarks such as "what a crap?" as a summary. All the evidence lies here, Special:Contributions/Incnis Mrsi. You need not acknowledge that they are uncivil or not, as Wiki is not a place where you can judge yourself. Ignorance is what leads to people getting blocked, FYI, whether they be vandals, socks or hostile towards others edits. Ma®©usBritish{chat} 11:33, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
- All evidences? Do you speak about, possibly, a hundred or two hundreds of mistakes among more than four thousands edits? I do not see anything wrong with "what a crap?" and "there are many people who know" altogether, and consider "MISERABLE_FAILURE" an adequate description of the entire https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=First_period_of_World_War_II&action=history (although not good as an edit summary for that single edit). Sorry for "U.S.Americans were always the first", it really was an unjustified remark directed towards a certain part of users. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 11:45, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
- The purpose of an edit summary is.. oh, surprise.. to summarise the edit you just made. Since when does "miserable failure" ever describe any form of edit? Or "what the crap" for that matter? It was clearly an attack on the previous editors redirection which you strongly disapprove of. Furthermore, your opening of Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2012 September 9#.E2.80.A6 period of World War II without notifying editors in the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history#World War II started in.E2.80.A6 was nothing short of rude behaviour. When a discussion reaches no consensus, it is unwise to WP:FORUMSHOP until a result that suits you. In this case, you should have left a comment advising MilHist editors of the RfD, as a common courtesy, not dismissed their remarks to pursue your own avenues. And I agree that you should not be using remarks such as "hostile" and "clumsy" in an opening post to sway opinion, it results in an unbalanced discussion from the outset. As I said, it's a matter of being civil when a dispute arises. You need to tone down your attitude and be more objective, in order to achieve your goals. Call it advise.. bearing in mind that I'm not involved in the discussion, so I can't be accused of talking sides. ;) Ma®©usBritish{chat} 11:59, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
- A forum shopping? Please, try to understand better what is means, rather than to bog into such a dispute with (sorry) an experienced user. What we see with the redirects?
- I discovered that redirects and started a discussion.
- Andrew Gray (talk · contribs) reverted my edit with an unclear edit summary.
- The discussion on the wikiproject actually led to a stalemate with Andrew Gray on one side (who was willing to push his position in the article's space) and two users on another side (which were not willing to engage into edit wars).
- Henceforth, I passed the question to evaluation by a broader community.

If you really feel the need to refer to immature comments such as "try to understand better what is means, rather than to bog into such a dispute with (sorry) an experienced user", to determine who is right, then so be it.
I guess actions do speak louder than words, and by your own flawed comment, I am more experienced. Kudos to your "logic", but your remark was as poorly thought out as your edit summaries, and an attack on my understanding of something I know fine well about shows that – you seem to enjoy provoking editors with that superiority complex attitude. Do try to learn from your mistakes, rather than compound them further. The only reason there is a dispute here, is because you're too egotistic to accept that you were in the wrong. Next time, I'll refer it to AN/I to resolve it.. seeing how you enjoy the drama. Conversation over. До скорой встречи. Ma®©usBritish{chat} 12:48, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
Mysterious blue line identified
Hi, re this edit - I've identified the mysterious blue line - it's the Euler line. Careful examination at high enlargement (800%) shows that the blue of this line is brighter and greener than the blue which is used for both the circumcircle and the perpendicular bisectors to AB and to AC (that perp. to BC being missing, as you correctly noted). --Redrose64 (talk) 18:54, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
Personal Attack
I don't know or care what you're beef with that guy is, but you're personal attack on Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2012 September 20#Inexperienced user was uncalled for. It's not relevant to the RFD discussion. I've removed it. To quote the personal attacks policy "Comment on content, not on the contributor". Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 07:28, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, there's more of this on my talk page as well. Jarble (talk) 14:49, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
- More of what? I claimed initially that Jarble makes some waste, and claim exactly this now. The rules of Wikipedia do not discourage to call a harmful product "waste". So, what should I say about a person who makes it in a such ratio? Incnis Mrsi (talk) 15:17, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
- Making that complaint about Jarble on an RFD like that was inappropriate, RFD is not Requests for comment. Our concern at that RFD is the redirect, not Jarble, i.e. the content, not the contributor. Beyond that, I can't offer much help. I'm really not the person to ask about formal dispute resolution stuff. If you're following Jarble around, don't do it in a way that would constitute Wikihounding, but again I'm not the person to ask about that kind of thing. Maybe the Wikipedia:Dispute resolution page would help. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 22:58, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
- I did not requested any help, and did not invite Emmette Hernandez Coleman to talk here (here is my talk page, not Emmette Hernandez Coleman's, can he feel the difference?). I only commented a baseless "there's more of this" accusation by Jarble. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 08:40, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
- Sorry if I offend you Incnis Mrsi, that wasn't my intention. Good thing you don't want help from me, because like I said, I'm really not the person to ask about Dispute resolution. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 09:00, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

and my replies to them can be found here
- "here is my talk page" – correct, but it is not a private corner for you to bully another editor, and if another editor has a concern about your attitude, they are free to express it. You do not WP:OWN this page, editors do not need to be invited to comment in every situation. The same applies to all articles, talk pages and anywhere open to edit, Arbcom restrictions aside.
- Your list at User talk:Jarble#Inexperienced user listed at Redirects for discussion is a failure to Assume Good Faith. Instead of politely pointing out a couple of minor mistakes – redlinks and typos, big eff'ing deal! – you were condescending in your approach to the point of making it a personal attack. Your repeated remark that he made mistakes and was aware of them, but failed to correct them, carries no basis and is totally subjective. That's what raises it from a comment on content to an attack on the contributor.
- Some of your edit summaries are still pointy. Even meant in good humour, this is the internet and comments do not always relay your sarcasm. Your edit summaries are often unprofessional making them seem condescending. E.g.:
- you are doing it wrong! – content not contributor!
- although I even briefly edited this about 9 months ago, I did not notice that the article is so poor – not aiming to make many friends here, are we?
- thanks for the bug report, but it is not an invitation for trolling – WP:BITEy accusation given that member is new (2 edits), the word "trolling" should not be tossed about so liberally.
I would agree that your finding and listing of User:Jarble's mistakes is Wikihounding and improper behaviour (NB: it takes far more time and effort to dig through individual edits than to scan through your edit summaries, so don't accuse me of doing the same), and believe EHC was right to notify of this. However, you do not appear to respect the status quo here on Wiki, and have a habit of attempting to claim that other editors are somehow inferior or inexperienced to you, as you did me and were quick to shut your face once proved mistaken. I would suggest, in future, you worry about your own edits, and stop dismissing other editors for their work, as continuation of this line of incivility is liable to lead to you being dragged to Dispute Resolution and sanctioned. Editors have a right to make edits without you policing their work and commenting, as you did. Note, "why they engage in wikilawyering instead of making THEIR OWN EDITS better?" – again, false. EHC is not wikilawyering by showing concern for your attacks on Jarble. You could just as equally be accused of "wikilawyering" by playing Sheriff and listing Jarble's "waste" instead of worrying about your own edits also, right? You listed four mistakes from his 9,000 edits (twice your edits), four... 0.04% of his edits are "waste" ratio? Now who was wikilawyering?
- So in direct answer to your question "So, what should I say about a person who makes it in a such ratio?" – absolutely nothing. You are not the person who sets standards here on Wiki and editors certainly are not expected to live up to your expectations. In future, either quietly correct their mistake without fuss, as thousands of other editors do per day, or drop them a polite note with a link to the WP:MOS if they are frequently doing something technically wrong. There is a difference between bollocking someone and advising them how to do it correctly. The only thing that is "waste" is your circular-arguments with editors who disapprove of your conduct. I suggest you step back, take heed from this, and try a different approach from now on.. going on the defensive makes you more unlikable. I don't think Jarble or EHC have enough of a case here to request dispute resolution, or admin involvement, but I suggest you draw the line here, cease provoking Jarble with remarks about his editing abilities, respect that EHC and myself do not find it appropriate, and stop it immediately. Then we can all get on with our regular content editing unhindered. Or you can kick up another example of your superiority fuss and we'll invite an admin to review your edits, and see how you like it? Which shall it be?

- I dismiss? Another empty accusation? These are not my opinions, they are supported by fact.. continue to dismiss them, I'm sure you'd regret it, if it leads to your being blocked for persistent incivility.

- I used to read many amusing things about myself, but "DIVA" is one of the silliest ever. Absolutely not my case. I am just a person who helps English Wikipedia to become better, but not a diva. Assuming you really have a good faith, try to write less inappropriate things here please, because I will not spend much of my time extracting few scruples of truth from the flood of personal opinions. Unless you really want to become another ignorable personality. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 14:05, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
- You can ignore me all you like, no skin off my nose, as you're not very agreeable, and your attempts to turn tables on people is pathetic to say the least. However, you can't ignore AN/I or admin attention. AGF refers to contribs. not your behaviour. But your attitude shows a distinct lack of AGF.. you can't AGF when someone is clearly being a WP:DICK. Once again all you've done is praise yourself and refused to address your own lack of civility. You can tell a good editor by the praise/barnstars on their talkpage. You have one in 6 years. Perhaps not everyone feels you're helping en-Wiki become better, because your attitude to fellow-editors speaks more than your contribs which go unnoticed as a result. Shame.. As for DIVA, "A Wikipedia diva is a long-time user who believes he or she is more important than other editors, and who requires regular validation of that belief." You wrote, "I am easily insulted by such things as bulk reverts ... especially if such a revert removes some perfectly correct piece". But read back over this section, you'll find your comments match this description perfectly: "A diva rarely, if ever, admits to engaging in edit-warring, assuming bad faith, disruptive editing, making personal attacks or ownership; it is only their opponents who do this, and they do it constantly. A diva is so rarely wrong that their extraordinary 'specialness' means that no fault could possibly lie with them in a dispute". In fact, it's the only perfect thing I've seen you do.. not a very temperate ego, you haven't admitted to any wrong-doings. Read WP:LASTWORD before replying, the next response you give determines whether or not I visit AN/I.. I WP:DENY you of further responses from myself.

Another bad faith response from you, and don't blame being non-native English for poor choice of words. Did you treat your fellow-Russians like this at ru-Wiki before leaving them, because you refused to follow community policy other than your own?

However, you can't ignore AN/I or admin attention. AGF refers to contribs. not your behaviour. But your attitude shows a distinct lack of AGF.. you can't AGF when someone is clearly being a WP:DICK. Once again all you've done is praise yourself and refused to address your own lack of civility. You can tell a good editor by the praise/barnstars on their talkpage. You have one in 6 years. Perhaps not everyone feels you're helping en-Wiki become better, because your attitude to fellow-editors speaks more than your contribs which go unnoticed as a result. Shame.. As for DIVA, "A Wikipedia diva is a long-time user who believes he or she is more important than other editors, and who requires regular validation of that belief." You wrote, "I am easily insulted by such things as bulk reverts ... especially if such a revert removes some perfectly correct piece". But read back over this section, you'll find your comments match this description perfectly: "A diva rarely, if ever, admits to engaging in edit-warring, assuming bad faith, disruptive editing, making personal attacks or ownership; it is only their opponents who do this, and they do it constantly. A diva is so rarely wrong that their extraordinary 'specialness' means that no fault could possibly lie with them in a dispute". In fact, it's the only perfect thing I've seen you do.. not a very temperate ego, you haven't admitted to any wrong-doings. Read WP:LASTWORD before replying, the next response you give determines whether or not I visit AN/I.. I WP:DENY you of further responses from myself.

I've removed another personal attack against the same person (Jarble) on the same RFD. RFD is the last place you should be making personal attacks because our concern there is the redirect itself, not the creator. You especially shouldn't be making personal attacks against Jarble. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 19:46, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
- It is your concern the redirect itself. To me, I do not bother much about this one redirect while several redirects are created daily with such a high error rate. You and your correspondents ;) apparently think that you enforce The Great Justice. But it is not so. If there exists some thing you help to enforce, then its name is "irresponsibility". Think about your activity, such as refactoring my comments: how does it help Wikipedia to become better? Incnis Mrsi (talk) 20:07, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
- I'm a bit confused. Which correspondents are you referring to, and how would the removal of personal attacks enforce irresponsibility? Jarble (talk) 05:17, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
- The removal of so named "personal attacks" disrupts the communication. There are dozens of users which are more able in talk page flames rather than in content work. They eventually become discussion-centered, rather than content-centered. Then, they make various motions to "make talk pages better" without understanding that the discussion pages serve the content, not versa. The communication serves to improve the content, do you understand? It should not serve to users' ambitions or vanity (there is a lot of examples here, especially under {{hidden}}). But unfortunately, many content-creating users are prone to vanity, which opens many possibilities for discussion-centered users to push their understanding of "etiquette" and "civility".

ANI/I notice
Hello. There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Ma®©usBritish{chat} 22:12, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
- I made a comment there, and it seemed the guidance on the page called for me to signal that here. Eric talk 02:53, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
You only responded to part of the third part, and while I do sympathise with you about the nuisance that can be caused when an editor uses an automated process to make a lot of mistakes, I think you missed the first - and most important - section.
On the English Wikipedia, calling another editor anything uncomplimentary can be a breach of the policy on personal attacks and is best avoided. Sentences that start "you are a...." are not appropriate when uncomplimentary. If you feel a user is making bad edits - and it seems that you often have a point here - the way to express that is "these edits are not good because....(no source/misinterprets source/doesn't make sense/ect)." Discuss only what the content should be - make no comment about the competence, intelligence, motivation or attractiveness of the other editor, unless you want to say something nice about them.
So I suggest you stop saying that other editors are 'waste makers' or other such comments. You may consider it to be only factual, but it's coming across as downright rude. Elen of the Roads (talk) 22:16, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
WP: Manual_of_Style
Moved discussion to Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style#Attempted deletion of 2 commas by Special:Contributions/121.45.223.144 Apteva (talk) 16:20, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
Just a note to let you know this has indeed been deleted as not certified - the time limit was exceeded and the third party declined to certify [6]. I note that your recent comments to new users have all been polite and helpful (I didn't look back further than a couple of days, so maybe this has always been your habit). Please do continue such communications, there is no reason to stop. I don't believe there is a reason for you to stop communicating with other editors generally if you can modify your style. You know what constitutes a rude statement or a flame war - just avoid it by using different words. --Elen of the Roads (talk) 23:09, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
Em dash and two-em dash
Regarding your 19 September reversion [7] of my edits to the page '[Dash]':
- The character ⸺, the two-em dash, it is typographically and semantically distinct from two em dashes in succession (——). Two em dashes together were sometimes incorrectly used prior to Unicode 6.1, due to the lack of a dedicated two-em dash character. You also seem to have overlooked that U+2E3A is described in the article at the end of the 'Common dashes' section, claiming that it is "cryptic".
- The phrase regarding approximations is redundant; later in the same paragraph that information is presented more clearly with specific examples.
I'm going to restore my edits that I made, in light of these arguments. If you still feel that they are incorrect, we should discuss your objections in more depth. Thank you. Goldenshimmer (talk) 18:45, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

Template:copied
Incnis, you recently editing {{copied}} under the assumption that a missing oldid means it's a new page. This is entirely, 100% wrong, and what a missing oldid means has been discussed in detail on the talk page - what it means is that many Wikipedians, including many with years of experience, are not familiar with oldids and diffs to put them in this template, and if oldid is missing then the text of the template should be changed so that the "with this edit" text and link doesn't appear at all. In short, oldid and diff should never be a mandatory part of any template, ever.

ANI
I noticed you removed the tag, so I know you are aware of the discussion. I would just say to be a bit more careful in phrasing so you don't give the wrong impression in your edit summary. This is one reason why edit summaries are terrible for communication and the talk page is much better. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 19:52, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
- I cannot remember to work together with Dennis Brown ever. Also, I do not remember any conflicts in the past. Which discussion? What phrasing? If you have some concerns about certain my actions, then say specifically, what was wrong and why. Otherwise, I will not guess how general communication philosophies should apply to me and how is it based on Wikipedia guidelines. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 20:43, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
You deleted a link to an ANI discussion [8]. The ANI discussion is here.[9]. The edit summary I am referring to is here. [10]. Once you delete an ANI notification, such as you did in the first link I provided, you demonstrate that you have read it, otherwise you wouldn't have known to delete it. Hopefully that will clear up any misunderstandings. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 20:48, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
- I do not see anything wrong with the edit summary →Alphabet: probably, that Jews do not know *all* of Russian language?, since the main point was the degree of competence of a Jewish-specific site in Russian phonology. If you have thoughts about the ongoing conflict in Russian alphabet and my contribution to it, then you can post those to talk: Russian alphabet such that other parties could evaluate it, not only me. I ever edited more than 2,000 pages in the main space (several hundreds were redirs and dabs, but the majority were articles, indeed). Taking part in various conflicts is not uncommon for me. Were each of these conflicts be discussed here, at user_talk:Incnis_Mrsi, this page would become very hard to browse. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 21:33, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
- The problem is not about Russian phonology, but about the form of your comment. With great frequency, anti-Semites will blame "the Jews" for anything and everything wrong with the world, and the kind of broad generalization that your comment appears to be making, that "the Jews do not know all of Russion language" can be interpreted as being anti-Semitic. It would have been better had you said "The website cited is not a reliable source for this information" rather than focusing on the ethnic identity of the source. It is a certainty that there are Jews who know "all" of the Russian language, perhaps even more than you do, and for those Jews who do not, their Jewishness has nothing whatsoever to do with their lack of knowledge.
Please be more careful with your use of the English language here on the English Wikipedia in the future. Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:51, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
- What Ken said. At ANI, essentially the admin assumed good faith, and just ask to be careful so there isn't a misunderstanding in the future, because the summary came across much stronger than you realize. This isn't a "scolding", it is a request to be a bit more careful. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 21:54, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
- Thirded. I too would have looked askance at such a summary, and would very likely have felt compelled to address it at ANI, or at the least would have started on a witch hunt to determine if there was more similar activity going on. Easy enough to make mistakes, and this is indeed one of the problems with the short edit summaries, but definitely worth being mindful of, given the number of people who will see such a comment show up in a Recent Changes patrol,such as via VandalFighter, etc., who will then question anything that seems to be at all racially motivated.
- Given that the first native Russian speakers I ever met were Russian Jews who spoke Russian just as fluently as Hebrew, and since there are many such families living in Israel and elsewhere around the world, I would say there's no reason "Jews" cannot know the Russian language as well as anyone else, unless there is some form of racial motivation implying they are inferior to the point of being incapable of learning or comprehending a language other than Hebrew. One might as well say, "No 'H' in Russian because they can't speak English."
- As above, I'm not trying to scold, and I hope this doesn't come across as such, only trying to explain why some editors were taken aback by such a statement, and why such language should be avoided in the future in edit summaries that are easy to misread, but should instead be made on the relevant talk page. besiegedtalk 23:48, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Hand-coding
Hey all :).
I'm dropping you a note because you've been involved in dealing with feedback from the Article Feedback Tool. To get a better handle on the overall quality of comments now that the tool has become a more established part of the reader experience, we're undertaking a round of hand coding - basically, taking a sample of feedback and marking each piece as inappropriate, helpful, so on - and would like anyone interested in improving the tool to participate :).
You can code as many or as few pieces of feedback as you want: this page should explain how to use the system, and there is a demo here. Once you're comfortable with the task, just drop me an email at okeyeswikimedia.org and I'll set you up with an account :).
If you'd like to chat with us about the research, or want live tutoring on the software, there will be an office hours session on Monday 17 December at 23:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office connect. Hope to see some of you there! Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 22:56, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Spinor
(From talk page) Yes, you are probably right. Whenever you are (or think you are) correct you become 100% rude. This time, your comment was only 78% rude. Thus it has a 78% chance of being correct. Actually, the chances that you are correct is slightly higher (99.9...%?) in this case. I have been working on an article about [Lorentz invariance in QFT]. I'd be happy if you could comment on that thing. It has become pretty huge in size, but I think that there are parts of it that can go into WP articles.

But could you, Gtwfan52, demonstrate #-links or WP:DIFFs next time, please, instead of verbal eloquences such as your comment on the q&a page about being careful with correspondents names, her original question. First, you are not God and you unlikely read all my correspondence in WP, on all numerous "q&a pages", about "being careful" (BTW it's one of my most recurring tropes) and in relation to all possible females. So, I have to guess to which exactly episode do you refer. Do you understand? Second, I just am not obliged to remember all my posts. This habit to say "you are so-and-such bad", but without a single diff is one of the most irritating (to me) features of English Wikipedia's culture. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 20:42, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry. I thought the quote would be enough to jog your memory, but I will be happy to provide you with a diff if I ever have to correspond with you in the future. After all, your time is so much more valuable than mine. How unclear is it when the heading is RE: Teahouse that the q&a forum I was talking about is the one at Teahouse?

European regions
Hello, I was wondering why you thought of me challenging you, by editing an article on European regions. I read you are against bigotry so I thought you may be interested in my article: http://liberapedia.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Marina_Moreau/Contemporary_European_geography --Martina Moreau (talk) 06:16, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
- Although I can realize how "against bigotry" and "LGBT rights" correlates, I am astonished that you relate "against bigotry" with "European geography". Could you explain this? BTW: if you want to earn a piece of my respect, then never make diagrams ans schemes in the JPEG format. Of course in Wikia, you can upload technical drawings in JPEG, portraits in ASCII art, and populate Kaliningrad Oblast with Germans, but Wikipedians do not like any of these.

We noticed though that when you edited El (Cyrillic), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ligature (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.

About my recent edits to Vapor-liquid equilibrium and your comments about those edits
Hello, Incnis Mrsi:
I had no intent to denigrate anyone and I apologise if you are offended. But the fact remains that the HTML equations had numerous formatting errors (not content errors). All one needs to do is print a copy of that section (as I did) before and after my revisions (as I also did) to see the extent of what was corrected. I am sure that, if you did that, you would see that I did not simply "baldly claim" anything. It took me about two hours to get the equations fixed and if I had to list and explain all of my fixes, it would have taken another two hours ... so I simply said they were "badly rendered with a number of errors". In hindsight,I should have made clear that the problem was in formatting ... not content.
Once again, if I have offended you, I apologise and it was not my intent to offend anyone. mbeychok (talk) 21:25, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

"drive-by replacement" of Perl
In regards to your request to stop "drive-by replacement" of Perl: I would be happy to use Perl instead, but the search indexes seem to fail to pick up on that when searching for "perl programming". Unless i am mistaken in this observation, the current actions are my only recourse. I will hold off for now until we reach an agreement and would ask you to extend the same courtesy to me. (On a sidenote, it would be appreciated if you'd asked why, before swinging your big bat and reverting.) Mithaldu (talk) 16:49, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
- I would also like to note that in some of the pages you reverted, the reverted form has worse grammar than my changed form. Mithaldu (talk) 16:59, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
- I do not understand how Mithaldu is involved in the incident. If needed, I can explain every my [rollback] push, which summarily were substantiated there, but if this a complaint about my action, then I can do it in details. But if you intend to drag me in a discussion about how to refer to Perl language in Wikipedia, then start a topic at WT:WikiProject Perl, please. I will not sustain it at user_talk. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 17:05, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
- I am the IP whose edits you reverted. I was not aware of my being logged out until the edit to the IP user page reminded me of it. This is not exactly a complaint and more of a request for information, so i can understand your position better and try to reach an understanding. As for explanations: Yes, i would appreciate them. If you wish i could also list the exact pages where i consider your revert to be directly decreasing the page quality from the level my edits put them at, as opposed to just contrary to my original intent. About WT:WikiProject Perl, are you sure? It has not been touched in almost a year now. Can you link to pages explaining the protocol of wikiproject pages? Mithaldu (talk) 17:11, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
- The protocol? There is no special protocol for using WP:WikiProject WT:-pages, but you can start a topic whatever you want.

- https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dup_(system_call)&diff=546325812&oldid=546320050 : reverted a breach of WP:LINKSTYLE.
- https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=LedgerSMB&diff=546325900&oldid=546322353 : the text «The system uses the Perl programming language» which stresses the latter concept with a wikilink could suggest that programming on Perl is a part of the system’s use (i.e. that Perl is used as an internal scripting language, which is quite plausible).
- https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_open-source_bioinformatics_software&diff=546325974&oldid=546322241 : reverted cluttering the table with an off-topical wikilink.
- https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Algorithmic_efficiency&diff=546326102&oldid=546321992 : the link «programming language» is already present in Algorithmic efficiency#Encoding and decoding methods (compared and contrasted) and has not a specific relevance to a Perl as one of examples; extra wording is also redundant.
- https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=SQL-Ledger&diff=546327012&oldid=546321900 the same as #2.
- https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Perl_virtual_machine&diff=546327344&oldid=546321858 : mistakenly removed both links to Perl (fix), but, like in #4, the «programming language» was quite redundant amid links to more specific concepts such as Interpreter (computing).
- https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Uuencoding&diff=546327421&oldid=546321648 : reverted a breach of uniformity in references to Python and Perl.
- https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=NOP&diff=546327589&oldid=546321576 – I do not insist, although it is not good that the link «programming language» appeared so low in the article, in a section without particular relevance. You can redo it if you want.
- https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Non-English-based_programming_languages&diff=546327630&oldid=546321521 : the «programming language» link was already very first in the article.
- https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Goto&diff=546327783&oldid=546321379 the same as #9.
- https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Client%E2%80%93queue%E2%80%93client&diff=546327886&oldid=546321068 : reverted an obvious degradation of the link usability.
- https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Open_(system_call)&diff=546332385&oldid=546319999 : imposed an uniform style: C language and Perl language.

Take a look at Outline of Perl instead, please, find missing or incomplete information and add to it. --Gryllida?? 22:20, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
Complex number fact tag
In the Complex number article, the {{fact}} tag reason you gave would have benefited from increased clarity. The reason ("the lowercase i, ORLY?") is not a proper sentence and uses slang. Proper sentences avoid ambiguity. By itself, there is not enough content to the tag to know what you meant and it can be interpreted in multiple ways. Further, slang like "ORLY" should be avoided: when used correctly (with a "reason=" parameter) fact tag reasons are reader-facing (as a tool-tip) and should be of appropriate quality.
I know now that you were specifically questioning the use of "i" for current. I would argue that this falls under "Subject-specific common knowledge". We can discuss it on the article's talk page if you wish. Just about all university-level introductory physics books (at least in the US) use "i" for current (e.g., the very popular Halladay and Resnick). Jason Quinn (talk) 22:10, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
March 2013
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would ask that you assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not on Electrically powered spacecraft propulsion. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. From WP:VANDAL: "Even if misguided, willfully against consensus, or disruptive, any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia is not vandalism. Edit warring over content is not vandalism. Careful consideration may be required to differentiate between edits that are beneficial, detrimental but well-intentioned, and vandalizing. Mislabelling good-faith edits as vandalism can be considered harmful." (emphasis added) Jeh (talk) 23:20, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
Alphabetised categories
Thank you for your diligence in your attempts to improve Wikipedia. Unfortunately, I must correct your specific comments.
You seem to be somewhat aware of the workings of Wikipedia, but allow me to explain where you have gone wrong. While it may seem like everything on Wikipedia is the result of discussion (and to some extent this is true), allot of the day to day proceedings are on the basis of precedent(or consensus). A precedent is a rule which tells an editor what the result of a discussion would probably be in a particular case. Sometimes a precedent will be written down, and become a semi-official policy. Other times a precedent will not be written down, and one has to ask the editors who work in a particular area how they do things. A precedent will sometimes arise as the result of discussion, other times it will be implied by commonalities in the behaviour of a group of editors; people will come to an agreement, not by discussing things out loud, but by working together and discovering a common method.
To use an analogy, a discussion is a group of lawmakers deciding on a set of laws, a precedent is the way judges enact that law.
If you are unsure of what the precedent is in a particular case, it is a good idea to start by checking the policies. (For example here this FAQ.) The precedent here is that for categories (other than categories for people, which don't have a strong precedent) is that:
- categories should go in alphabetical order unless
- one or more categories is very important to the page, in which case these go first.
The most common example of 2 is the key article of a category, usually an eponymous category.
Now you may think that this it is unfair that this precedent exists, you may have some other idea for category orders. The good news is that nothing on Wikipedia is set in stone. If you think that this, or any other precedent, in Wikipedia could be improved I encourage you to start a discussion. The best place to start in this case is Wikipedia talk:Categorization, there you will find editors who are interested in categorisation policy and will have something to contribute either way. One thing to be wary of before starting a discussion is that you may find that what seems to you an "obvious improvement" is opposed by other editors, so be prepared to make your case.
I have a couple of personal notes before I close. I encourage you to keep going with your script, this sort of thing can greatly improve an individual persons Wikipedia experience. But when providing evidence for your case a link to a discussion that you started on another editors talk page is not a good example of precedent, it is better if you can find points made by other editors (ideally a large group) and examples from article talk, category talk, wikiproject, and policy pages.
Hope to hear from you. --Andrewaskew (talk) 23:49, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi! I noticed you recently redirected Domain (mathematics) to point to the disambiguation page Domain. Please fix the incoming disambiguation links created by this change. Cheers! bd2412 T 02:54, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, I changed the target because it was incorrect. From your (formal) perspective, it is my change which “created incoming disambiguation links”. From my perspective, it is a consequence of two factors: mistakes of 2006–2009 and reluctance of editors in last 4 years to fix links through an unsafe redirect; see also my comments at WP:Village pump (proposals) #Deprecation of redirects. In any case I think that there should not be any rush and the problem does not belong to my talk page. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 05:04, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Dear Incnis Mrsi, go to the entry implication stricte, then go to afficher l'historique and click on (actu | diff) 15 février 2012 à 13:42 84.101.36.154 (discuter) . . (9 321 octets) (+8 461) (défaire). Thus, you'll get what I write about the three ingredients of implication stricte:(1) ~M (p & ~q) (2) Mp (3) ~p. M → M~q. The second ingredient Mp eliminates ~Mp; the third ingredient ~p. M → M~q eliminates Lq. Both ~Mp and Lq contains the first ingredient ~M (p & ~q)and the point is to eliminate ~Mp and Lq to obtain p ≡ Lq. ~M (p & ~q) alone cannot represent the strict implication of q by p, since clearly ~M (p & ~q) is compatible not only with p ≡ Lq but also with ~Mp and Lq.

Question
What was wrong with this suggestion? 94.116.38.81 (talk) 14:14, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
- Apparently, this user was identified as a sockpuppet of a community-banned user. I do not know whether s/he was really a sock, and I do not know anything about the community-banned user to whom this (allegedly) sock belongs. This is some older conflict in which I fortunately was not involved. Certainly, if I spot censorship attempts against a user who contributed to at least hundred articles (without causing disruption), I’ll interfere. But brand-new and suspiciously experienced accounts probably belong to banned users. I am not willing to involve myself in such matter except for possible mediation in order to lift a ban.

A Series of Unfortunate Events
7 May
06:08 Icnis Mrsi refers to "barely readable sequences like a*b*c* "
10 May
03:22 Mathsci asks "how can there possibly have been a sequence like a*b*c* in the article"
06:23 Clanclub quotes a line from the article with a sequence of that form
06:43 Mathsci removes Clanclub's post with the comment "this does not occur in the article"
06:52 Mathsci edits the article to modify precisely the sequence quoted by Clanclub
07:21 Incnis Mrsi replies to Mathsci posting of 03:22
07:46 Mathsci silently removes his posting of 03:22, making Incnis Mrsi's posting of 07:21 appear to be a reply to a different post
08:33 Mathsci tries to get Clanclub banned for making "a trolling remark about me"
An observer might suggest that the behaviour one of of these users has been disingenuous. Clanclub (talk) 16:44, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
- My advice: concentrate on re-integrating yourself into Wikipedia community, not on bashing Mathsci. Unless you settled your troubles, your influence will be insignificant. Guerilla attacks against certain “foes” amidst a free and democratic community is your way to nowhere, stop doing this. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 17:07, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks but other users in the same position don't seem to be having much success. Clanclub (talk) 20:51, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
- Once an obvious sock of Echigo mole has been tagged, probably the best idea is not to respond and to remove the post. They have now been blocked indefinitely following the SPI report. Cheers, Mathsci (talk) 18:46, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
