Zotero integration in Wikipedia

I was wondering if you'd obtained any result in producing an export that is compatible with wikipedia templates? I'm relatively experienced (with fitting references in templates, that is), so I can try to help if you want me to. Circeus 20:49, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

No, but I'd love to help. I ended up spending my time putting COinS tags in our citation templates instead, which is kind of in the opposite direction. But it would be very convenient if Zotero generated ref tags. Did you see the thread on the zotero forums from a while ago? — Omegatron 20:55, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

I saw it, and it's what prompted me to ask you about it. I do think you forgot to add COinS tags to {{cite encyclopedia}}, though. Circeus 21:44, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I just did book and journal for now. I want to look around for complaints or praise before going further. Most people don't even seem to notice it, though. — Omegatron 21:45, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

I suspect if word got around that Zotero can export in Wiki-format, it would create more use of it in the community, and hence, more demand for use of zotero-comaptible templates. Circeus 22:13, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, definitely.

Ok, so I keep staring at [1] and [2] and [3] and [4] and I can't figure out where to start. Do you know?

I did add COinS to the bottom of the "Cite this article" page, though.  :-) See this, for example. — Omegatron 01:31, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

They already added it to the new beta![5] You can currently export citations to a text file with citation templates, and in the next version you should be able to copy and paste them directly. — Omegatron 15:06, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Actually, many fixes are needed (for example, the dates in cite journal show up as 1984-11, and it ignores the presence of a URL), but it's certainly a good start we can build upon. Circeus 19:52, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Yep. And there are fields missing and patents should be {{US patent reference}} instead of {{cite}}, and so on. I think we could either ask for trac logins or just start a new thread in the forums to report all our bugs in. — Omegatron 21:19, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

I just started a thread on the dev mailing list. — Omegatron 14:49, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Binary Prefix Chronology

Regarding Talk:Binary prefix#History

I put a {fact} on the 360/30 core memory addition to the chronology since this appears to me to be a current (2007) description and not how this memory plane was described in 1964 or whenever it was sold by IBM. Shouldn't we be careful to assure that all our quotes are time period appropriate?

On a broader subject, isn't the issue really when did the OS's start using prefixes in a Binary Sense? Most of what we have in the chronology so far is evidence that there is no reason to use prefixes in a binary sense since these examples of main storage were not binary in nature.

Yr thoughts?Tom94022 16:34, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

My goal is just to figure out the usage and meaning of the various terms over time in as factual and neutral a manner as possible. Software, marketing literature, scientific papers, etc. The earliest uses of "kilobit" (which probably predates "kilobyte", since "bit" predates "byte") I could find on Google Scholar are just as ambiguous as modern usage; one refers to a memory device which is binary in nature, and one refers to a data rate which is decimal in nature. — Omegatron 20:08, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

My goal also, but I would state it as figuring out the common usage over time to describe main storage in the computer industry. In other technologies it's mainly all SI and where it isn't, the conversion likely occurred much later than in main storage. It's pretty clear today, that when you see M or G with regard to main storage they are binary. The question is when did this become common? We may never find a day but we should be able to locate a decade. We got started on this when I objected to the assertion it started in the 50's and 60's - so far, the evidence points to the 70's or 80's.

Do we agree that it has to be clear what is the date of the reference? For example, u still have posted the 1964 reference to the S/360M30 core plane, but to me it appears that the language is a current description of a 1964 artifact.

Do we agree that what we are looking for are sizes of main storage described with the unqualified use of k, K or M as a prefix to bit or byte where the preceding decimal number is a natural binary number greater than 16 (rounding makes 1,2,4,8 and 16 ambiguous) AND there is additional evidence that the actual size is a natural binary number, i.e., 2ⁿ

One last thought, is this original research that is inappropriate for Wikipedia?Tom94022 16:34, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

So from what I can tell, they were originally just explicit; saying things like "1024 words" and "60,000 characters". Binary computers tended to have power of two storage, both in electrostatic/core memory and drum memory? Decimal computers tended to have decimal-based storage.

Then they started using the "K" notation, like "60K" to mean 60,000. It was used decimally, as evidenced by the use of "65K" to signify 65,536, which rounds to 65 with two significant digits, but which we would normally call "64K". The K stood for "thousands of words", though, not bits or bytes, since words were 36 bits or so.

Then I bet "KB" evolved after they settled on 8-bit bytes? I'm going to add a bunch of stuff I've written down to the timeline. — Omegatron 23:21, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

On a related topic, your graphical additions to the Binary Prefix article are great! FWIW, I really haven't found much usage of binary SI prefixes in OS's prior to MacOS. When I have time I will add such to the timeline.Tom94022 17:34, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

A screenshot of an old MacOS showing binary prefixes would be good, too. — Omegatron 18:05, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

how about this?Image:Apple_Macintosh_Desktop.png

My problem is I think but cannot prove that the K is in binary sense. I thought the first Mac FDD's (same as Lisa 2) had a 400 KiB capacity based upon the unformatted 500 kB capacity of the Sony SSDD 3.5" FD.Tom94022 21:33, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

That's good, but we need a reference for what the K means. I'm sure there's documentation for the OS floating around. — Omegatron 23:00, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Omegatron. I've used a png image of yours as the basis for an svg version of the same subject. How would you like to be attributed? As Omegatron? With a link to your User page? Thanks. -RCS ^talk 03:08, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

That's fine, yes.  :-) Which image? — Omegatron 03:16, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Just Image:Resistor_symbol.png at the moment. Nothing too amazing. :-) -RCS ^talk 07:24, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh. I don't think something like that can be copyrighted anyway. You could release it under whatever license you want, and don't need to attribute me.

A lot of schematic symbols already exist; see commons:Category:Electrical_symbols, especially commons:Category:Resistor symbols.

We're also trying to create a standard set of symbols to use for drawing schematics in Inkscape. See commons:Image:Electrical symbols library.svg and commons:Category:Created with electrical symbols library. Maybe you could help us draw more symbols for that? — Omegatron 14:28, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Floating quickbar

Hello there. I tried to apply this application to my wiki browser, but after editing it in my User:Kawaputra/monobook.css it kind of worked except that the tabs ("user page", "discussion", "edit this page", "history", etc.) seem to disappeared and no where to be found. which seems fatal. i copied followed the instructions in http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:User_style/floating_quickbar. except that i did not turn off the logo (i dont know how to do this). Any idea what went wrong? kawaputra^tok2me 08:22, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

BTW, im using Mozilla Firefox v.1.0.7 kawaputra^tok2me 08:24, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Did you install both the CSS and javascript? The javascript changes the article tabs (edit,history,etc.) so that they scroll with the page instead of being attached to the sidebar and hidden underneath the article. (In a pinch, use the keyboard shortcuts like Alt+E to edit and get back to the normal configuration.)

I added the logo removal code directly to the CSS. — Omegatron 13:33, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

OK. It works perfectly now. Thanks! :) kawaputra^tok2me 03:36, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Block quoting examples of output

You're quite right - I'd never though of it like that. Thank you. Andy Mabbett 14:26, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

We should really have a template for things like that, though; where you want to show an example of a program's output or the like. It should be a blockquote inside a box of some type, I think. — Omegatron 14:47, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

New ISBN template

I just noticed this: {{ISBN-13}} - Andy Mabbett 01:23, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

It just "calls" the regular ISBN function? — Omegatron 01:43, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

JEDEC Dispute in Binary prefix

Hi: Just in case my recent edit in the Binary Prefix JEDEC Talk got lost in the blizzard of commentary I have reproduced it below.

If I agree? Wha? What do I have to do with this? — Omegatron 17:57, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

It appears that Omegatron added the JEDEC section on 7 April. On 12 April Sli flagged it as POV; to which I agreed. Sli has already given his permission to remove the POV. I'm not sure exactly how Wikipedia would want us to adjudicate this issue, but I think if Omegatron agrees to my proposed changes (or something similar) then we can move on.Tom94022 16:35, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

BTW, thanks for the edit on image width, I didn't realize it was set in my preferences. Tom94022 16:49, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh. I guess I did technically add it. I was just moving it out of mebibyte, though. I figured binary prefix was a more general discussion and a better place for it. I agree that it would be better as a subsection of the computer memory section. — Omegatron 16:53, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

HHO

Thank you for your efforts regarding the technology in question. You have broken the list down very nicely into concrete claims, and reasonable aspects of the technology, while showing the BS that many people purport. My opinion is that any claim about extraordinary properties is complete BS; the technology is a fuel enhancer, nothing more, nothing less. Noah Seidman 07:03, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Good.

• My hunch is that the claims about extraordinary properties are BS, but, as a skeptic and scientist, my official opinion is that I don't have enough detailed knowledge about chemistry or molecular physics to truly know, so I am reserving judgement. It sounds like BS, though; it definitely has that vibe.
• My opinion on the fuel enhancing properties is also undetermined. It seems reasonable that an injection of some type (especially something explosive) could increase fuel efficiency. However, if it really worked, with no ill side effects, everyone would be using it. Every auto company would jump on it immediately if it improved their gas mileage even a little bit with such a simple device, so I strongly doubt that it's actually useful for that purpose. Maybe, like water, it increases the efficiency, but harms the engine in the process. Maybe it's also just BS.
• Ultimately, my belief is that HTA sells gas generators for welding equipment. They use their claims of "special gas properties" to get an edge above their oxyhydrogen-producing competitors,[6][7] and use the water-fueled car myth to generate publicity for their company. I think that's all there is to it. — Omegatron 15:14, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

A reasonable analysis. I agree on all points, and understand your point of view. Noah Seidman 16:13, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Can you please either contribute or stop?

With all due respect, we're trying to finally get this resolved. Putting in a large paragraph of pure sarcasm doesn't solve a single thing. It's editing to make a WP:POINT. It's disruptive. It's intentionally non-constructive. If you aren't capable of maturely discussing things with people you happen to disagree with, then I'd respectfully request that you refrain from commenting at all. Disruption isn't going to solve anything, and, for the life of me, I don't know how you thought it was going to. Bladestorm 17:05, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm being disruptive? Non-constructive?? Look at that talk page. Hundreds of KB KiB kB of argument over something we've already decided and formulated into a guideline to prevent endless argument. Everything's already been said. Over and over and over and over and over again. And over and over and over and over. There is nothing to be "resolved" except for people to stop being disruptive and accept consensus.

And sarcasm isn't prohibited. Incivility is. — Omegatron 19:57, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Observations

You are moderating the HHO article extremely well. Is there anything I can do to help? I will not make any direct posts because they will be immediately attacked. I have 2 (1200 liter per hour) generators available, for demonstration of the torch applications, if anyone wants to come to NYC. Can we bring in the history of the gas, its origions with Yull Brown, and William Rhodes? If so, obviously there are a slew of company involved. Take a peek at my Industry page, it has a list of dozens of companies. The Industry. Noah Seidman 17:35, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Also, I think you understand this already, in no way can this gas be used to completely substitute a carbon based fuel. It is simply not viable, except in torch application. Noah Seidman 17:39, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

I will not make any direct posts because they will be immediately attacked.

Yeah...

its origions with Yull Brown, and William Rhodes

I wasn't aware there was any connection. The HHO gas article is just about HHO gas, not gas welding in general.

Also, I think you understand this already, in no way can this gas be used to completely substitute a carbon based fuel. It is simply not viable, except in torch application.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. — Omegatron 19:58, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Considering that electrolysis, on average, is 80% efficient it is more conservative to utilize the electricity directly as compared to electrolyzing water and then utilizing the produced gas. Noah Seidman 20:19, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh. Well of course. It will always be more efficient to run an electric motor directly off batteries than to put other energy conversion processes in between. — Omegatron 20:52, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

As a fuel enhancer it is viable for the same reason catalysts are utilized in chemistry; to reduce the activation energy. Noah Seidman 20:21, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

But does it actually increase efficiency? If so, is the cost of generating the oxyhydrogen lower than the cost of the gasoline saved? If so, does the injection have any harmful side effects on the engine that reduce the overall benefit? Internal combustion engines are only 20% efficient, so there's lots of room for improvement, but I'm not convinced that this is one of them. — Omegatron 20:52, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

A decrease in activation energy is equivalent to an overall increase in efficiency. You can take a peek at my propane enhancement research data if you'd like. I've tried to get it published to no avail, but its quality research Data. I would argue that the cost of generating the gas is less than the cost of the gas saved, which is supported by my research data, but this is not the point of the technology. Independent of whether there is cost savings, increasing efficiency, is increasing efficiency. The main effect of the gas, when added to gasoline, is elimination of carbon monoxide, a slight increase in carbon dioxide, elimination of particulate and smog byproducts, and a reduction in NOx emissions. This data is from Get Hydro Power Brown's Gas Enhancement Systems.Noah Seidman 21:33, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

I have a rhetorical question. Why do you think the gas companies put 10% ethanol in their gasoline? Its a fuel enhancer, allowing the gasoline to achieve cleaner more efficient combustion. How does the cost of the 10% ethanol compare to the cost of the 10% gasoline saved? I think ethanol is more expensive than gasoline at the moment. Noah Seidman 21:33, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

A picture of my propane fuel research before and after enhancement Image. Noah Seidman 22:07, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Of course your research can't be used as a source. I'm sure there's peer-reviewed research about hydrogen injection of gasoline, though.

The efficiency --> lower pollution relationship is a very good point. — Omegatron 22:42, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Just a quick clarification that most websites do not specify. Just adding any of the hydrogen gases (oxyhydrogen, pure hydrogen, Brown's Gas/HHO) to the gasoline does not increase gas mileage; it "ONLY" increases combustion efficiency. Gas mileage improvement is the direct result of re-flashing the ECU fuel maps, so the injectors actually inject less fuel into the cylinders. This is how the "GOOD" companies are able to guarantee gas mileage improvement. If the injectors are injecting 10% less fuel at any RPM, that is equivalent to a 10% increase in gas mileage. Noah Seidman 23:19, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

I think this is right; 10% less fuel injected is a 20% increase in gas mileage. I was thinking about this because 50% less fuel injected is a 100% increase in gas mileage. What do you think, is this right? The interesting thing is that automotive systems can tune for a particular %'age reduction in fuel injected, and then generate a quantity of gas that will prevent a lean condition from emerging by installing a temporary pyrometer. To avoid tapping the engine block, a baseline for the exhaust gas temperature at the tailpipe can be measured, and then hydrogen fuel can be added until the temperature of the exhaust gas, after adjusting the air/fuel mixture, reaches baseline temp.Noah Seidman 04:46, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Another popular misconception is regarding a "lean" condition. Because hydrogen has such a high flame velocity, the combination of the hydrogen fuel introduction and the reduction of gasoline injected into the cylindars results in the avoidance of a "lean" condition. 1 step at a time it breaks down like this: Injecting less fuel into the cylindars will result in a lean condition, but because of the introduction of the hydrogen fuel, and the associated increase in overall flame velocity, the exhaust gas temperature is actually less than if not equivalent to the normal air/fuel mixture installed by the factory. Heres an image from HTA of exhaust valves before and after fuel enhancement. HTA Exhaust Valve Pictures. Noah Seidman 23:41, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Zotero

So anyway, you seem to be the go-to guy for things involving Zotero and Wikipedia. I've just started trying it out (saw an interesting blog post on it, and a few minutes into using it, it caught a messed up citation of mine), but I can't seem to pull references from some articles where I know I heavily used references and templates in and should be able to; for example, Medici bank#References. Investigating, it seems the Harvard references template breaks Zotero because there's no Coin thing? Or is it my installation? If the former, I'd appreciate it if you could do whatever is needed to make it work. --Gwern (contribs) 04:32 18 April 2007 (GMT)

It's not "breaking" Zotero. The COinS tags have only been added to the templates listed on User:Omegatron#COinS, unless other people have been adding them. So only those templates will be readable by Zotero. I'm not a huge expert on the subject or anything; I just seem to be the only person adding them to templates. If you want to read up on them and start putting them in other ones go right ahead. I plan to eventually. — Omegatron 04:41, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

I see. So it's not a matter of breaking, just Zotero doesn't understand it. Guess I'll see how difficult it is to add this COinS stuff. --Gwern (contribs) 15:40 18 April 2007 (GMT)

Exactly. I see that {{Harvard reference}} is deprecated and replaced with {{Citation}}, which I was going to add COinS to eventually, but which is more difficult because it can be used for different types of documents, and the COinS needs to know if it's a journal, book, etc. So... Hmm.... — Omegatron 15:55, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

See Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Microformats#COinS_work — Omegatron 16:30, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Moved to Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Microformats#COinS_work. — Omegatron 06:18, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

I like the integration of Wikipedia and Zotero, but it works only for the english Wikipedia. How can I add COinS in another Wikipedia (es.wikipedia.org)? -- Patora13 Patora13 12:03, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

It is controlled by the COinS tag in the bottom of the citation templates. For instance, {{cite book}} has a COinS at the bottom with the reference information. To make this template work on es, you would edit es:Plantilla:Cita libro, copy and paste the COinS tag in the equivalent place, and change all the fields, like {{{title}}} to {{{título}}}, and so on. — Omegatron 16:20, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

User:Ajuk's move of Muse to Muse (Greek mythology)

Your call for a disambiguation page for Muse has been answered by User:Ajuk's move of Muse to Muse (Greek mythology). I posted the following note; perhaps you'd pitch in too:

"Now that you have created the dozens of redirects for Muse links that intend Muse (Greek mythology), you might help rectify this disservice to the Wikipedia reader and the trouble caused for other Wikipedians by helping revise the double redirects that you have created. You will find them at Muse by selecting "What links here" in the left-hand table. This is part-and-parcel of a page title move. I have also posted this note at Talk:Muse (Greek mythology). Thank you." ...and thank you, Omegatron. --Wetman 18:19, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Taner Akçam

The page was protected because it has been "subject to vandalism which had severe legal consequences." You can read about this at Taner Akçam#Persecution and Talk:Taner Akçam#Arrest in Canada. I'm assuming DragonflySixtyseven did this on request by Mr. Akçam himself via OTRS. Is there any chance you can reconsider? Khoikhoi 18:37, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm aware of the incident, but I don't think the reason given is sufficient to protect the article. The vandalism occurred four months ago. If it's from OTRS, it should be re-protected with that cited as the reason. — Omegatron 18:52, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

ref patent template

Just been looking over this COingS thingy (or letters to that effect) that you were going to try to add to {{Ref patent}}. Looked good and I think you had it right. If you don't think it's worth carrying on when the template isn't used much, I won't mind. But it's a pretty new template so hasn't sunk into Wikipedia consciousness yet! GDallimore (Talk) 22:07, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

No I'm going to put it back in; just need to make each field optional, like the one in Cite Book. We should probably merge that with {{US patent application}}, though. — Omegatron 22:38, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure. The USPTO and espacenet databases have quite a few differences so merging could easily end up being messy. GDallimore (Talk) 23:29, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I saw you had a few disgussions at Template_talk:Audio. I made a few audio samples for Icelandic movie titles. But I think it's a bit ugly how it's put up. See When the Raven Flies.

COinS in Template:cite whatever

Given the number of places that COinSes are now popping up, wouldn't it make sense to generate them in a templated manner? I see you've updated several {{cite whatever}} templates and included a lot of explanatory text (a Very Good Thing!) which can expand a reference list quite a bit (a Bad Thing unfortunately). Perhaps we would be better served by something in {{cite encyclopedia}} less like the current:

I like the idea of templating the COinS, as it would save a lot of work and be easier to read, but all the fields are different from one template and OpenURL format to the next... :-/

Also, the comments don't appear in the final output of the article, so it's not adding to anything. The only time they appear is when you're viewing the source of the template. — Omegatron 20:36, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

The comments unfortunately contribute to the pre-expand include size limit. We went through several rounds of reducing the included size of the various {{cite whatever}} templates about six months ago and I'd hate to see that work go all for nought. There's pretty much no way to have them not count.

Too bad also about the OpenURL format being so unfriendly :-( RossPatterson 04:08, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

IBM 33FD v Shugart 901 FDD Capacity

Regarding your recent edit to the [Floppy Disk Drive] page, you have to be very careful in researching the capacity of these FDD's for two reasons. First, IBM discounts to net usable capacity whereas OEM's such as Shugart specify net capacity. There are also formatting differences. The first distinction is alternate (spare) tracks. This is an OS distinction and has nothing to do with the medium, drive or even the controller. The 8" SSSD product physically had 77 tracks, not just 73 as in the Engh quote. The difference is alternate tracks supported in certain IBM environments such as the IBM 3740 and S/34. Only IBM would have so much sparing. If you look at the Shugart 800 spec it gives the capacity with an IBM track format as "2.0 megabits" This is a rounded number, the actual gross user capacity with the IBM track format is 26 sectors/track * 128 user bytes/sector * 77 tracks/disk = 256,256 user bytes/disk or 2,050,048 user bits/disk. Shugart, all the other FDD OEM's and the controller OEMS's also supported other formats, for example, 8 x 512 byte sectors per track for gross user capacity of 315,392 bytes per disk. So what number do you want to put up there:

26 sectors of 128 bytes on 73 tracks = 242,944 bytes [IBM 3740 or System 34 Compatible]

26 sectors of 128 bytes on 77 tracks = 256,256 bytes [most common OEM standard, used by most OS's and advertised as such]

8 sectors of 512 bytes on 77 tracks = 315,392 bytes [another, higher capacity, OEM standard]

A SSSD 8" drive and has an unformatted capacity of 6.2 Mbits and can and did generate any of the above formats. It just depends upon the controller and OS.

Personally I prefer the middle one, since that is the way the industry went and represented the product. The other two could be footnotes. BTW, to the best of my knowledge, the capacity of these products was never represent by IBM or the OEM's with binary SI prefixes, so it is a bit inapposite to so list them that way - I think bytes or bits is more appropriate. I'll update the page if you don't object. Tom94022 06:19, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, there are a variety of numbers for the formatted capacity, with anywhere from 73 to 75 to 77 tracks (77 total, but only 75 used at one time). See Table of 8-inch floppy formats, which shows three such configurations. I haven't found anything that agrees with the 250.25 number, though. We might want to include the range of values, though?

I found 400 "K" for the unformatted capacity, including a document within 5 years, but not written by IBM, and I'm not sure what the K means in that context, so I didn't touch the marketed capacity column.

I'm not sure what you're referring to about binary prefixes. I updated the Memorex 650, for instance, to match the original literature. I couldn't find any for the 33FD. Later disks were advertised as "720K", though, and we need to write it exactly as they stated it; not with a lowercase k, and not with "KB" if they just wrote "K".

The formatted capacity column is for comparison purposes, though, so we should convert the typical, formatted, usable capacity into KiB. — Omegatron 15:19, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

77 tracks were always formatted - not every OS made them all available to the user! The [| Shugart SA800] OEM manual states:

"Capacity

Unformatted

Per Disk 3.2 megabits

Per Track 41.7 kilobits

Formatted

Per Disk 2.0 megabits

Per Track 26.6 kilobits"

26.6 * 77 / 8 = 256.03 which has rounding error. The 26.6 is actually 26 * 128 * 8 / 1000 = 26.624. Using the precise number gets you to 256,256 bytes. Note the SI usage of kilo and mega.

BTW, the 256.256 number appears at the bottom of Table of 8-inch floppy formats as a the DEC RX01 format. DEC and all the rest of the world adopted this format and I suggest this is the one value for the table.

Since the formatted capacity is for comparison purposes and since we all agree that when disk drive and media suppliers use SI prefixes, they do so in their conventional sense, then the column should be in units with or without k and M not Ki and Mi.Tom94022 16:57, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

DEC and all the rest of the world adopted this format and I suggest this is the one value for the table.

But that's for the DEC RX01 and not the IBM 33FD, right? For the 33FD row, we should either use the most popular format or specify the range of different values that were available ("237.25 to 296 KiB").

since we all agree that when disk drive and media suppliers use SI prefixes, they do so in their conventional sense

I don't think you'll find anyone who agrees with that.  :-) The field of floppy disks is the most inconsistent in their usage of units. Compare the 1.5 Mbit Memorex 650, the 360 KB floppy, and the 1.44 MB floppy.

then the column should be in units with or without k and M

Writing out the values without units is ok, but a little harder to compare. — Omegatron 18:05, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Aren't the questions:

1) From what perspective is both the marketed capacity and the user capacity to be stated, the medium, the disk drive, the controller or the system.

2) Do you have to be consistent over the time span of the table.

Depending upon where you stand and when you look you will get different answers for the same disk drive and medium.

To answer your question, the RX01/ Digital Diskette like the Shugart SA900/SA100 Diskette are all specified to be media compatible the 33FD/IBM Diskette Type 1, yet the available user data varies as reported at the OS level. We don't take away file system overhead from user capacity statements (boot sector and FAT in FD case) so why should we take away alternate track capacity as IBM chooses to do. If you looked at the 33FD/IBM Diskette Type 1 at its controller interface you would find 256,256 gross user bytes.

The same problem exists in the 5 1/4" art. Apple using Shugart drives and media with a unique controller and format achieved higher gross user capacity than all other users typically achieved on the same drive and medium (the "famous" Integrated Wozniak Machine). But in either case the specification is gross user capacity with no allowance for alternates or system overhead. In this particular case, the SA400, both capacities should be shown, or alternatively, we could list the Apple drive as different than the Shugart drive even though the mechanics and media were identical!

The confusion goes away with 3.5" mainly due to the standardization of IC controller chips. Again no allowance for alternates or system overhead in specified gross user capacity at any level below the OS. The OS of course reports net user capacity, net of spares, file system, etc.

So my answer to the questions is we should make both columns consistent across time but with different but consistent perspectives, that is:

The user capacity column should be gross user capacity as determined at the controller level, without allowance for alternates, spares or system overhead.

The marketed capacity should be the unformatted number published by the media or drive manufacturer, or in its absence, the same number reversed engineered out of the medium.

In the case of the 33FD, neither number is published by IBM but can be reverse engineered from the compatible OEM's published numbers. At some point, when I have the time I am going to change the whole table into such a consistent format. I had it that way for the 33FD and am going to change it back, but I thought I would hear what u have to say before I proceed.Tom94022 01:15, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

What? — Omegatron 23:28, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

this. Exact lisenceing issues are delt with on the upload page. Wikipedia:Fromowner is mostly there as a kind of prescreening and should be as short as posible. Therefore will you please revert your edit.Geni 23:32, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry; I can't fathom why you would want to remove that text. — Omegatron 23:37, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Because it is redundant and fails the "do we really really need this" test for use on what is in effect an interface page. Fill the page with text and people will not read it. Keep it to a minimum and they may do so. The only task text on that page should be fulfilling is to try and make sure that only users who hold the copyright on the work click the link. Anything else should not be there since it reduces the effectiveness of the page (don't believe me how many EULAs have you read?). Additionally try looking at the page on a low res monitor. Note how much your edit has increased the level of suck for users with low res monitors.Geni 23:44, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

By that logic, the whole page is redundant to the upload form. If you want to make the page smaller that badly, reduce the font size or remove something inconsequential. — Omegatron 01:17, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

The inconsequential bit would be the text you just added since it is delt with rather better on the upload form a detracts from the primary perpose of the wikipedia:fromowner page.Geni 01:54, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment.

Why did you remove commas from the US patent template? — Omegatron 06:13, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

I removed the commas from the US patent template because they were unnecessary with the introduction of {{formatnum:}} in the wikimarkup which places the commas in automatically. And if the commas are removed from the input then we can use services like Google patent (and others) without creating our own parser. —Dispenser 13:56, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

PMID in cite journal template

Hi Omegatron,

I'm just coming to grips with citing in the wikipedia and started using citation templates. {{cite journal}} caught my eye since it includes PMIDs which I consider one of the best ways to quickly track an article online. Names and titles are often not specific enough in a search. PMIDs are also easier to copy/paste.

So, I got started with the template only to note that the PMID field I specified in the in-line citations was then ignored in the generation of the end-of-article reference section??? What's the point of having that field if it is not used? How can I make the PMID show up as a link in the references?

Hope you have some advice for me.

Best,

Jasu 14:32, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

It should show up. Maybe it broke. I'll look at it. Ask on Template talk:Cite journal too. — Omegatron 14:34, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

HTC Wizard discussion

I'm taking this to your talk page rather than the talk page on the article, since I don't want to debate around the issue there, as it were, and this is just mostly for my own curiosity.

Both yourself and 59.144.161.143 obviously feel that the content is appropriate, but neither of you have said why. I've cited various wikipedia policies, such as WP:NOT, WP:OR, and for the newest additions I would refer to WP:EL. In your comment, you said 'The content could be appropriate if worded correctly' - but I don't see how you can reword a guide on fixing a fault to be anything other than userguide content, and then it would still need adequate references from reliable sources. Why do you think that this isn't userguide content, or that WP:NOT et al don't apply?

It's really frustrating to be opposed by people who don't explain their rationale, and it makes it impossible to reach a meaningful compromise.

So I just thought I'd ask here, aside from the discussion on the article talk page, mostly for my own personal knowledge. Thanks. Wibbble 17:53, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Reverting my revert of a Tor exit node

In this change here you reverted my revert. The revert I did was done because the change was made by a known Tor exit node IP. You may not be aware but any edits by known Tor exit nodes are not allowed on Wikipedia and can be reverted without breaking WP:3RR. In future you may find this list of Tor exit node IPs helpful. Also based on previous experience I suspect the IP is another one of Sarenne's anonymous edits, you may be aware that Sarenne is banned from editing, hence any anonymous edits by Sarenne are also allowed to be reverted without breaking WP:3RR. Lastly, your change does not have broad consensus, as demonstrated by the three different editors who have reverted the text. Fnagaton 18:17, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

• I'm well aware that Sarenne is blocked. I tried to block him myself.
• Just because an edit is from a Tor node doesn't mean it should automatically be reverted, though. Only if it is a bad edit. If there is a policy that demands that all such edits be reverted, please show it to me.

WP:NOP "Users are prohibited from editing Wikimedia projects through open or anonymous proxies." and "Open proxies are banned from editing Wikimedia projects." Note the word ban, this is important because here it says "Any edits made in defiance of a ban may be reverted to enforce the ban, regardless of the merits of the edits themselves. As the banned user is not authorized to make those edits, there is no need to discuss them prior to reversion. Users are generally expected to refrain from reinstating any edits made by banned users." Those two policies therefore mean that I am correct in reverting those edits and that you are not correct to reinstate the edit by the known Tor exit node. Fnagaton 10:43, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

• You're probably right that these are his edits, so I've semi-protected the page.
• Your edits to the page are disruptive, however. Please revert to the version that represents consensus. — Omegatron 00:08, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Again you are wrong on two counts. My edits are made to revert the bad edits made by the open proxy (Sarenne's efits) and the bad edits by you that do not have consensus. I did actually revert to the version that has consensus, the fact is you don't agree but you are in the minority. Your edits are disruptive, not mine, the proof of that is not only me telling you that you are wrong but the majority of everybody else on the talk page. Do not push your point of view by repeating those disruptive edits on the project page. Your edits are disruptive because you made a change here without consultation and rightly so it was reverted. Then the Tor exit node reverts the edit. I then revert the banned user here. You then revert my revert of the Tor exit node to place back the text that you added in the first place, that is revert warring and is disruptive. All of my edits are made to revert the open proxy edits. You still owe me an apology for your misrepresentation, here and on WT:MOSNUM. I also think your actions demonstrate you should stop making changes related to binary prefixes on all project pages for at least a week until you cool down. This is because your changes are meeting with a lot of editors who disagree with them and you should step back to actually think about your actions. Fnagaton 10:43, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

So you could make an edit you didn't like from a Tor exit node and then revert it from your regular account, and I would automatically be in the wrong for reverting you, no matter what the merits of the edit?

Sorry, but that's not how it works, even if it says so in some policy.

You're wrong because you seem to have missed the bit where it says anonymous proxy users are banned so that is how it works. You were adding back your text that was already previously reverted, you are edit warring. Fnagaton 16:58, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Please show me some edits of mine on articles related to binary prefixes that were wrong or biased, so that I may consider taking a break from them. — Omegatron 15:57, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

I already have done in the links above. Fnagaton 16:58, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

You're wrong because you seem to have missed the bit where it says anonymous proxy users are banned so that is how it works.

Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy. If it was, you could make good edits from a Tor node yourself, revert them with your user account, and claim that the rules prevent anyone else from changing back to the good version. But the most important rules are WP:ENC and WP:IAR. If it hurts the encyclopedia, it's bad. If it helps, it's good. All the other rules are just clarifications of this principle.

You were adding back your text that was already previously reverted, you are edit warring.

Yes, I reverted to my version of the previous consensus once. You created a new version without consensus and then reverted to it how many times?

Again you are missing the point. The point is you were edit warring to replace your text you knew had already been reverted and you reverted an edit of a Tor exit node. Fnagaton 17:25, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

You created a new version without consensus and then reverted to it how many times? — Omegatron 17:31, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
