Electrification

I had a look at the work in progress- and see a little local difficulty. As far as I can ascertain in a GB context, the word electrification is limited to the phrase 'Electrification of the railways' and in the 1950 'Electrification' was a big issue, with the Electrification of the West Coast Main Line#Modernisation by British Rail. It affected the schools, where there were assemblies on how dangerous it would be to try and touch one of the cables. Bridges had to be raised to allow for gauge clearance.

I have done a quick google on History electricity Manchester and found this Wolverhampton article which is fascinating to read Electricity in the Midlands -nowhere is the process providing electricity referred to as 'electrification'! Doesn't prove anything but it is worth noting that the North Am usage seems broader, and that should be noted with possibly a {{See also}} template. I won't touch the text while you are working on it. --ClemRutter (talk) 01:05, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:Five dollar Banknote of Citizens Bank of Louisiana.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Five dollar Banknote of Citizens Bank of Louisiana.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

Nomination of Useful work growth theory for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Useful work growth theory 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/Useful work growth theory 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 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 template from the top of the article. bobrayner (talk) 22:23, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sources for Ayres–Warr model

When you say that the IMF "adopted [Ayers & Warr's] methodology" in the WEO 2012, I assume you are referring to WEO Scenario 3, in which the contribution of oil to output is considerably increased compared to their benchmark scenario. I wouldn't describe this as "adopted their methodology"; it is only an alternative scenario considered next to the main scenario. In relation to the question whether we have sufficient sourcing for the article Ayres-Warr model, this source qualifies as independent. I'm less certain whether it qualifies as reliable, but let's assume the IMF staff who worked on these scenarios are experts in the field. Then, still, I don't see significant coverage. The actual reference to the Ayres–Warr model does not go further than stating that they (and others!) "have argued that [the IMF benchmark scenario model] understates the importance of energy, including oil, for economic activity" and "have found output contributions of energy that range from 30 percent to more than 60 percent". The coverage in independent reliable sources should be such that one should be able to base the article on the content of that coverage; I don't see that here.  --Lambiam 01:50, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Thank you for trying to keep Wikipedia free of vandalism. However, one or more edits you labeled as vandalism, such as the edit at Economic growth, are not considered vandalism under Wikipedia policy. Wikipedia has a stricter definition of the word "vandalism" than common usage, and mislabeling edits as vandalism can discourage editors. Please read Wikipedia:NOTVAND for more information on what is and is not considered vandalism. I don't think that user Bobrayner, who has 47,000 edits, will be discouraged, but labeling edits as vandalism in edit summaries does not encourage discussion or collaboration. Thanks.S. Rich (talk) 17:16, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is really censorship by a person with a bias against this theme. Actually that is worse than vandalism.Phmoreno (talk) 17:21, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
So work out an acceptable version on the talk page (as you are). Labeling edits as vandalism or bias or censorship will not help you win the argument or create consensus. If you feel this is a severe problem, go to the NPOV noticeboard. – S. Rich (talk) 17:31, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Complaints to Noticeboards

Please note that notification templates to editor talk pages say "there is currently...." I suggest you start the discussion first, and then post your notices to the involved editors. Also, on the Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard (which deals with article content) and the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring (which deals with active edit warriors and recent violations of the three-revert rule), be sure to follow the guidelines on the Noticeboards about how to use them. – S. Rich (talk) 18:37, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you participate in some of the board discussions just for a bit of practice. Consider the comments, reply as you feel best, and then see what comes about. You'll get a better feel for how the boards work. You might also see why they are sometimes called "Drama Boards". (See: Wikipedia:Drama for more.) – S. Rich (talk) 20:30, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Economic Growth Article

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.
Please take a step back and be careful not to exceed 3 reverts. SPECIFICO talk 21:10, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm disappointed to see that you're continuing to edit that article prior to keeping your promise to read the Barro book. Nothing good is going to come of this. It's better to take an extra week or two and get it right than to continue the same contentious changes which remain unresolved on the article and talk pages.

I have to quibble with at least one of your recent changes; maybe it hangs on the meaning of "good quality iron", but it seems rather misleading to imply that hot blast enabled the use of coke as a fuel when Darby was smelting with coke a full century before Neilson developed the hot blast. Choess (talk) 15:42, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thanks. Have you ever read Gordon's "American Iron"? Fascinating book on the changes in American ironmaking practice pre-20th century and the frankly rather unscientific way in which the technology developed. Choess (talk) 21:29, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Inappropriate ((disputed tag)) tags added to Crucible steel

I have removed several inappropriate {{Disputed tag|talk=Crucible steel#Not in agreement with other sources}} tags that you have added to Crucible steel.

Your GA nomination of Industrial Revolution

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Industrial Revolution you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of 3family6 -- 3family6 (talk) 21:21, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Compass and postscript

You added the |postscript= parameter incorrectly to cite web in the article. Per {{cite web}}, postscript: Controls the closing punctuation for a citation; defaults to a period (.); for no terminating punctuation, specify |postscript=none – leaving |postscript= empty is the same as omitting it, but is ambiguous.

Also, you did the quotation marks. Per MOS:QUOTEMARKS, use only typewriter, ie "straight" marks. Bgwhite (talk) 01:41, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Industrial Revolution

The article Industrial Revolution you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold .

Defining technology

I agree with your January post on the lede and definition of technology, and would like to start suggesting some major revisions. But I'm intimidated by the wide use of this definition--it starts many of the articles in the Outline of Technology. I would propose an opening paragraph such as this--“Technology” comes from a Greek word often translated as “technique,” referring to individual knowledge and skill in some field. Today the word more often refers to one or more bodies of knowledge and skills possessed by a community. A century ago, it was called a “state of the industrial arts.” Is this talk page the place to do that? Or is there some more appropriate place to open that discussion? Thanks.TBR-qed (talk) 19:40, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Calling a plan good and constructive before circumventing it

At [1], you asked for recommendations from other editors to improve the article Technology, in part because "At least Productivity improving technologies (historical) discusses modern technology and shows how it affects our everyday lives" [2]. I responded to your request for a plan by suggesting that you "remove the (in my view, very misguided) mash-up of economic history and productivity from your creation at Productivity_improving_technologies_(historical) and use the remaining bits that deal only with modern technology itself to create a new Modern technology article that deals solely with modern technology." [3], and you called that plan "constructive" [4] and wrote "Your suggestion is good." [5]. However, instead of beginning to implement that plan, it seems like you've renamed Productivity_improving_technologies_(historical) as Productivity (economic history) [6]. Now, instead of having an article here that "discusses modern technology and shows how it affects our everyday lives" without a single coherent topic in violation of WP:SYNTH and WP:NOTESSAY, you seem to be doing the same thing without even having the word technology in the essay's title. None of this matters to me very much, but I am curious about it. At the moment, I'm just wondering what became of our previous plan. Did you change your mind? Eventually (probably soon), either me or someone else will bring your essay, regardless of its title, (and perhaps the others spun off from Productivity#Productivity_articles_with_a_special_focus) to WP:AfD for deletion. I just don't know if I'll be doing you, and more importantly, the encyclopedia, a favor by doing it sooner or later. Please let me know your thoughts about this. Flying Jazz (talk) 14:03, 6 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Flying Jazz: This is a matter of priorities because I will be unavailable for the next three weeks. The first priority is to address comments regarding the Productivity article, which I am trying to do. That requires the least amount of time and can get accomplished sooner. And time is needed for more time for comments at Talk:Technology. I have not decided to write a modern technology article or to reorganize any other articles at this time. That depends on the outcome of Porductivity.Phmoreno (talk) 15:30, 6 June 2015 (UTC

Motor control circuit in Automation

Apologies, I could have explained that better. I meant that having an external link "see this diagram" in the middle of a paragraph is useless to anyone reading the article offline, or in a printed paper form (cf. WP:CLICKHERE). It makes more sense as a reference, but perhaps a redrawn version of it could be added to the article, if it's particularly useful? Wikipedia:Graphics Lab might be able to help. --McGeddon (talk) 13:05, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Chicken typo

Cost of chicken in time worked

In the title in the accompanying plot "File:Cost of chicken in time worked.jpg", "by" should be "buy": "By" is preposition meaning "near" or "next to". This context suggests you want "buy", which means "purchase": "Hours of work to by a 3 pound chicken" may have some funny poetic meaning that escapes me, but I believe you meant, "Hours of work to buy a 3 pound chicken".

Beyond this, someplace I read that images submitted to Wikimedia Commons should generally avoid text to make it easier for others to use the image in articles of different languages. In certain contexts like bar charts or system diagrams, it may be best to ignore this rule, because it may decrease the readability too much to label individual bars or diagram features with numbers that are then defined in the description. If you look at my uploads, you'll see that I've done it both ways.

For your amusement, I just added a Spanish translation to the "Summary" for "File:Cost of chicken in time worked.jpg". This allows you to see how that works, if you have time and interest for that.

Economic Growth

What does that mean? I tried to click on that link it didn't work, if there was no link intended why was the link there in the first place? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guardian101 (talkcontribs) 00:54, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Guardian101: There is no link, unless you are talking about the reference, where using reference type Harvnb the link is optional. Regardless, just because you can't find a link does not permit you to remove the material.Phmoreno (talk) 01:47, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Don't you need a link or evidence to support information that you're adding to Wikipedia — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guardian101 (talkcontribs) 01:27, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Guardian101: Only a citation is required. Most references are not available online. This particular citation, Bjork 1999, is from a book.Phmoreno (talk) 01:34, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

References on article talk pages

Hi Phmoreno. When you add references to talk pages, you have to add {{reflist-talk}} or {{Sources-talk}} at the end of your post, otherwise the reflist floats to the bottom on the page interfering with other posts. Alternative, you can simply use URL links to the sources enclosed in square brackets.- MrX 18:28, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use talk pages for inappropriate discussion, as you did at Talk:Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections, you may be blocked from editing. Multiple editors have asked you not to use article talk pages as a forum. You don't seem to want to take that advice so now I'm formally warning you to stop disrupting Wikipedia and stop enabling trolls. - MrX 21:36, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
