Saxbe fix

I spent a few hours digging at the University of Chicago Law School today. Please have a look at the new content that I have added. I would like to renominate the article at WP:FAC by the end of the week, but it would be best if it is clean before it gets there.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 05:30, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

I will try to do something. Ruslik (talk) 19:25, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

After another research adventure earlier today, I think this will be up at FAC with the latest changes in the next day or two. Your continued participation in its improvement would be appreciated.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 08:51, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Commentary welcome at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Saxbe fix.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 23:35, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for lending your legal mind. Feel free to chime in on the Pete Williams issue too. I don't want to get between the legal cognoscenti on the minutiae.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 19:52, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Magnetosphere of Jupiter

Sure. I'll be doing some research for it as well, thoguh I'll have to wait until the libraries open on monday. Serendi^podous 18:14, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

The copyedit is going to take some time. I think I'll start tomorrow, if that's OK. Serendi^podous 19:33, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

a few questions

The magnetic field within it remains approximately dipole, because contributions from the currents flowing in the magentospheric plasma are small.

What are these currents, and why do they disrupt the dipole?

These are various currents including ring current, field aligned currents, tail currents, magnetopause currents and others. I will write about them in more detail in the dynamics section. Ruslik (talk) 16:46, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

a thick and cold plasma torus (temperature is 10–100 ev or 100,000–1,000,000 K)

I may not be fully up on my high-energy physics, but I've never heard one million kelvins described as "cold"!

The hot plasma in the magnetosphere has temperature more than 10 Kev (or 100 million Kelvins). So 10-100 Ev is a cold plasma. Another way to look at this temperatures is to compare them with the co-rotational energy. Near the orbit of Io the co-rotational velocity is 74 km/s. An oxygen ion (O⁺) moving with such a speed will have kinetic energy of about 500 Ev. So 10-100 Ev is again a cold plasma. Ruslik (talk) 16:46, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

A reference to the plasma temperature within Jupiter's magnetosphere should be made earlier in the article, to place that other temperature into context. Serendi^podous 16:58, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

If I'm reading you right, the northern lobe of the magnetotail flows towards the planet, the southern lobe flows away, correct?

I actually meant that in the northern lobe the magnetic field points away from the planet, and in the southern lobe the field points towards the planet. The magnetic field does not really flow. Ruslik (talk) 16:46, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

The plasma in the torus is not ideal and slowly leaks away from Jupiter.

Ideal in what sense?

The plasma is ideal if its electrical conductivity is infinite. The real plasma's conductivity is always finite, but very high. Ruslik (talk) 16:46, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

When you say the amin forms of escape are diffusion and inercharge instability, are you defining those terms in the next sentence?

Not really. However I admit they will need a definition. Ruslik (talk) 16:46, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

I get that "planetary wind" is an analog to "solar wind" but it probably needs to be changed, since planets already have atmosperic winds.

Planetary wind is an escape of plasma along open magnetic field lines. In this sense it is analogous to the Solar wind. This term is often used to describe the losses from magnetospheres including Earth magnetosphere. Ruslik (talk) 16:46, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Nevado

Sandy has (sort of per my request) restarted the FAC to save space. I think that we've resolved the last of the comments, so Buena suerte to us. Ceranthor 21:49, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Legends of the Mafia

I reckoned as an on-line game it counted as "web content" for {{db-web}}; it's also borderline spam as the author is the game's developer. As not-yet-released, it's certainly not notable: I'll go for a PROD, and probably on to AfD. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 19:34, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

PROD is the best way in this case. Ruslik (talk) 20:06, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Template:Nihongo

You did unnecessary line break. Plz, fix or rv. For example of inccorect working see List of Sekirei chapters Alex Spade (talk) 17:55, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

I removed line break. Ruslik (talk) 18:02, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Now, the spaces between (1) English title and "(", (2) between Kanji and Rōmaji are missing. Alex Spade (talk) 18:07, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Added spaces. Ruslik (talk) 18:21, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

My apologies for the problems. Thank you for make the original changes and cleaning up my mess. --Pascal⁶⁶⁶ 18:49, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for saving the article i created!! :) Macromonkey (talk) 20:32, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Unblock request of Amyseekuif

Hello Ruslik0. Amyseekuif (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), whom you have blocked, is requesting to be unblocked. The request for unblock is on hold while waiting for a comment from you. Regards, — Aitias // discussion 14:34, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Comment: User seems to request unblock in good faith. Also, they have promised not to violate the 3RR again. — Aitias // discussion 14:38, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Unfortunately, they were disruptive and had to be blocked again ... I added the 3 hours from the end of the old block onto a new 31-hour block. Daniel Case (talk) 03:26, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Disruptive generally ... reverting without discussing or providing sources when asked to do so, engaging in angry rants á la the current unblock request. It was enough for someone to file an AIV. Daniel Case (talk) 15:12, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Wessagusset Colony

I believe that I have satisfied your concerns, can you please take a look at the article and let me know if you desire further changes? JRP (talk) 06:07, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Thank you! This is my first non-biography article to reach GA and I am very pleased about that. JRP (talk) 14:38, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi,Ruslik0, The article Chiang Kai-shek

Hi,Ruslik0, The article Chiang Kai-shek, always Vandalism by some anonymous IP, so I think this article should became Full protection or Semi-protection over a long period of time. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.105.23.27 (talk) 07:01, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi, we're starting the discussion on A-Class here today, thanks for signing up! I hope you can present your views. Thanks, Walkerma (talk) 07:55, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Please unblock Dicklyon

Per WP:BLOCK, a block is supposed to be preventative, not punitive, and Dicklyon had already agreed to use the talk page in response to my warning. I asked for page-protection, and, while I was frustrated with his reversions, I had no intent to get Dicklyon blocked. THF (talk) 17:01, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

protection of Temazepam

Dear Ruslik, there has been a long discussion on talk:Temazepam, about the inclusion of (IMO spam for Mylan Inc.) pictures of nondescript pills. A reason, why this picture is useful or informative has not been given in this long discussion. Other parties of the discussion (user:St3vo) also can't see why the inclusion of generic product pictures is useful. We are in the opinion that this is a precedent for inclusion of non-notable brand name pictures (namely as commercial ad spam). A consensus was not reached, because the editors with this picture simply do not discuss, but repeat their initial standpoint that this picture is nice to have, useful and informative. The question why informative, why useful, for what etc. is all unanswered. Please review the discussion under that viewpoint. There is no progress. Removing the picture is not vandalism, but concern for the removal of commercial spam. For an example where this goes please see article Oral B, where one of the editors has placed a spam picture too. The whole article looks like an ad for Oral B now. 70.137.184.193 (talk) 18:28, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
