Free energy car article

This article: Magnetic air car, describes a 'free energy' vehicle (ignoring the absurd air system) powered by a 'magnetic motor' (an electric motor that with no input power generates output power). It describes the vehicle pretty much as though it exists without allusion to its pseudoscience origins. I've done a bit of googling and haven't found any RS that calls it "bunk". Any suggestions?

Another article motor was changed to a redirect to induction motor. I kind of think it should be left as an article with it clearly marked as hogwash. Opinions? Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 04:03, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

I've redirected magnetic air car and weakly support keeping redirect on magnetic motor.

Re: April 2014 - Paris climate box edit

Hi Materialscientist,

I've edited the climate box as one of the numbers (the May average high) was incorrect. No big deal compared to the edits you've just did (including the new mayor!), but I think such a high-profile article should also have exact weather stats. I'm a newbie, but I'd like to edit it back.

Since you're a Materialscientist, do you think things are really made of strings, or that it's just a model, or that it doesn't matter either way? Also, do you reckon it's possible for a place to be somewhere far away where entropy goes in reverse, or even a place where entropy itself is evenly distributed relative to time (things can be un-born, un-evolve)? THNX!!!!! Also, you really seem to enjoy issuing schoolblocks, could there be a possible personal grudge behind it, e.g. do/did you hate kids who are loud in class?

hi there, i am the manager of this artist. i have written the following paragraph and would like to enquire as to why it has been taken down;

"Born in Manchester and raised in Handsworth, Birmingham. Call Me Unique AKA (Callmeunique) has sung from a very young age but picked up the guitar at 16 years old and ever since has been travelling around the Europe, often solo but occasionally backed by Birmingham based band; Elements Of Sound.

Renowned for her love of scatting and impromptu performances, whether it be a bus shelter or a stadium of 1000's, she has always aimed to portray an honest and heartfelt performance to any willing crowd. "Call Me Unique" has had the opportunity to play at such well known UK festivals as Glastonbury 2013 and even European Festival's such as Music Camp 2013, supporting Polish superstar Bednarek.

The LG Forum at the LG have had Call Me Unique as one of their regular's, opening the LG Arena Forum's for international artists such as Rihanna, Beyonce, Nicki Minaj, Jessie J and many more! Along side being heavily backed by the support of BBC 1XTRA's DJ Target and the 1xtra team as "1 to Watch" and has been playlisted as TRACK OF THE WEEK with her signature single; The Wife by BBC INTRODUCING.

Analgesia versus Anesthesia

I recently made a change to a page where the term Analgesia was described as the elimination of sensation by a drug, but Analgesia is not the correct term for the elimination of sensation. Analgesia is the term used to describe a reduction in pain without numbness or elimination of sensation (usually by reducing the emotional component of pain). Anesthesia is the correct term for the elimination of sensation and creation of numbness by a drug. The two are very similar as Analgesia usually accompanies Anesthesia. I cite — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.206.28.177 (talk) 23:59, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

You don't speak Russian, do you.

The changes I made to Russian jokes were perfectly constructive. Are you just going around reverting whatever you don't understand? Because I do speak the language.

"Dusha moya" (душа моя) is the phrase alluded to in the text, but not supplied, that literally means "my soul" and that is a term of endearment as well.

"Хуй" (penis) is not transliterated by "huey". The X is voiced, like the ch in Scots "loch" or German "ich", and for which the best standard transliteration is kh. My minimalist change improved the translit, but I should have taken out the e as well since there's no e in the original and "khuy" would have preserved pronunciation just as well.

/*Editing Ryan Benesch*/

        Hello, Mr. M. Scientist,

 You sent me an E-mail/message today, stating that I have violated Wikipedia's
Terms of Use upon me editing Mr. Ryan Benesch's page. You also stated that 

Wikipedia has a very strict policy on editing pages concerning living/deceased

people, and I am okay with that. As a result, I wanted to tell you that 

although I have not stated my source on this info I have put into the page, I know (no offence whatsoever, merely stating a fact) more about Benesch than most

people who think they do, or do not.

  1.) He has played almost his entire NLL (National League Lacrosse) career 

with the Minnesota Swarm. He has become an easy fan favorite.

  2.) I am an indoor lacrosse player as well. I also play in Minnesota, as
Benesch used to (until he got unfortunately traded to the Buffalo Bandits of
the National Lacrosse League in the summer of last year [the 2013 NLL league
draft]). I am a goalie playing in the Elite U15 league in the metro MN area, a
team called the "Junior Swarm. We travel around Canada and the US. Mr. Benesch
was the coach.
  3.) I am good friends with Mr. Benesch, as he holds many camps during the 

lacrosse season in MN as well, and I have gotten to know him quite well; we are

great friends. Whenever he scores a goal, the stadium (Xcel Energy Center, St.
Paul, MN) plays Elton John's "Benny in the Jets" song. Even the Toyota 

Professor, the man (I know him quite well also; he who explains official/referee

calls, rules, goals and other miscellaneous material to the fans), sings along
 merrily, while the fans (along with the boisterous announcer, laugh and join in.

  4.) I know the entire Swarm team up and down, and Mr. Benesch's teammates all
call him "Benny", the assistant coach, the Toyota Professor, and the announcer
who calls him "Ryan Benny Benesch!!" when he steps onto the field.

As you can see, I would probably get an "A" on my history paper, but, alas, I am

writing to you, Mr. M. Scientist. Say what you think of my statement, however I
do not care, as the fans of the Swarm all know Mr. Benesch's nicknames. Also, I
have no clue as to where the nickname "The Bullet" comes from, as I have never
heard anybody use it before. My points stands, and I strongly appreciate it if
you would be so kind as to put my edit back where it belongs, on Mr. Benesch's
page. He would enjoy that, too. Thank you. :)

Also, almost all of DrEdna's sockpuppets usually have "Edna" in the username, or mention "Dr Edna" in her harassment of other users, in addition to pretending to be an insufferably pompous "expert"--Mr Fink (talk) 03:57, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Removed links

Hi, can you clarify why the links I added seem inappropriate? They are similar in nature to some of the existing links. The links point to a site that allows people to run games related to Experimental Economics or Game Theory, which seem to me fairly relevant to the topics. Thank you.

IP vandal back with slightly new IP

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that the IP vandal you blocked last night, 113.193.150.84 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), has now resumed on a new IP adress , 113.193.147.5 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log). I believe they are the same because they make the same edit adding the name "Vipelo Swu" to different articles for example [3] (Champions League),[4] (I-league) and [5] (Premier League) for blocked IP and [6] (Champions League) for this new IP. Both have also edited articles like Brindavan College of Engineering. QED237 (talk) 11:55, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Image- Domestic violence

Hi. I see you removed the picture from the Domestic violence article. But this image is also used in other articles, such as honor killing. Is there anything wrong with it? If so, it should be removed from Wikipedia. 2A02:2F0A:506F:FFFF:0:0:BC1B:5046 (talk) 03:55, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

In ref to changes to The Bahamas - I would like to recommend changing the word "Black" to African as "Black" does to provide the valuable information needed to verify where most Bahamians originate...there are references to Asians from asia, why are the Africans not listed? In addition, why is it so important to make sure we know what color people are rather then their origins/ race...there is no country, continent or region called black (eg. Asian - from Asia or Chinese from China or indian from india)and this tells nothing of their heritage/ race/ origins as the color black is not a HERITAGE/ origin or race. It would make more sense and would be fairer to use all colors if this is the case eg.yellow for chinese, white for European, red for Indian, black for African. From my research, most if not all races with dark skin originate from Africa..and so lets call a spade a spade — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.144.157.170 (talk) 10:42, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

See WP:NOR. All those names are arguable and thus we go by reliable sources. Further, if the article is titled Black Seminoles, one should not try to change this inside the article (this will be automatically reverted), but instead argue on the talk page why the article title should be changed.

Room temperature superconductors edit deletion

Re. Room temperature superconductors, the hypothesis I posted has been discussed with two researchers in the field and both agree it is worth further study as such a mechanism could also explain other observed anomalous half lives in other lighter isotopes. Also possible relevance to small variations in half life of isotopes linked to solar neutrino flux but more plausibly explained by temperature fluctuations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.81.133.23 (talk) 13:55, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Bigfoot, Scott Nelson

Hello, Hope I'm contacting you in the best manner. I'm contacting you due to your removal of a small contribution I made to the Bigfoot page regarding Scott Nelson. I have been watching/researching Scott Nelson for some time and think it appropriate that he be mentioned on the Bigfoot page. I realize the Bigfoot topic is contentious, and I'm not saying I believe Nelson's work one way or another. Nevertheless, he is an active Bigfoot researcher and this can be substantiated by perusing the internet, late night radio, and YouTube. Please reconsider your decision to remove my submission, or, at least, advise on how to improve my submission in order to meet the standard. P.S. I'm not Scott Nelson, nor am I trying to self-promote a personal website. I have no connection to either Scott Nelson nor the website I submitted. Please see my Sandbox to assess the extent of research that I'm preparing on this topic. Thank you!

Additional information added to Herbalife.

I am afraid it is rather difficult to cite references for the additions I added to the page as it would be time consuming to filter through all the articles on the internet about Herbalife, many of which are biased and negative and I doubt that the information is actually provided on the fully public part on the company's website. Thank you for the politeness and clarity of your response to the additions I made. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.186.185.86 (talk) 11:40, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Squashing vandalism from my IP Block

Good day!

I am an administrator in the 131.137.* block, and I am interested in squashing any disruptive edits to this site that may reflect poorly on our department. I see you've blocked some addresses in our blk (which I certainly don't have a problem with) but this is a bandaid solution that doesn't do much to hold the individuals responsible for their vandalism to account. I'd like to know more about how to mount a more immediate reaction to violations originating from our group instead of subscribing to a few thousand RSSes for each individual IP. I can be reached at ncrinfosecur-securinforcn@forces.gc.ca for a more formal and private discussion.

Assistance regarding additional information to be added on Saffron article

Hi, I was wondering if you could give me some feedback on how and where to insert information regarding biosynthetic saffron. Would it be appropriate to insert information in "Types of Saffron" as well as provide chemical structure of artificial saffron under "Chemistry"? Thank you so much for your time!

Forouhi-Bloomer Dispersion Equations as a Basis for Characterizing Thin Films

Hello Materialscientist,

Thank you for reviewing my article. I am in the process of adding references to my article to show that the Forouhi-Bloomer equations are used widely in both the semiconductor industry and for R&D research (i.e. universities). Also I was going to add a section comparing it to other dispersion models (Sellimer and Cauchy).

Are there any other advice/comments you have to help improve the article for acceptance?

Open proxies

Hi, Materialscientist. How can you tell that 223.99.253.66 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) is an open proxy? Is it because of the "Recently reported forum spam source" comment here? (I don't think that was there when I blocked them for a couple of days — I only saw the "Network sharing device or proxy server" link.) I did suspect it was an open proxy, but when I've tried to indef IPs before, on the strength of being a "proxy server", I've gotten blowback because there are legitimate proxy servers. I wish I could identify open proxies so I could block them more efficiently. Have you got any tips for me? Bishonen | talk 12:53, 20 April 2014 (UTC).

In short, Google "proxy 223.99.253.66", this will give a hint whether this was/is an open proxy, and if it was/is, what was/is the proxy mechanism. In this case, Google will hint 223.99.253.66:81, meaning the proxy used port 81 for connection. Reconfigure network connection in your browser to connect via proxy 223.99.253.66 through port 81 ("Tools", "Options", "Netwokrk", "Setting" in Firefox), then access some IP locator like http://www.whatismyip.com/ and it will tell your current IP, in this case 223.99.253.66 (could be something else for "tunnel proxies"). We can't suspect and check all IPs for open proxies, but this editor gave up an easy hint by obvious socking from a Chinese IP (and then kept changing proxies). Cheers. Materialscientist (talk) 13:04, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

Thank you. I failed miserably at configuring my connection via that proxy (I would make a really incompetent vandal) — maybe it's not exactly the same path on a Mac — but I do more or less understand, and I'll get a family member to re-route me to it in a few days. Just to make sure I've got it: if I succeed in connecting through 223.99.253.66 by port 80, that'll prove it's an open proxy? Right? (And then I can vandalise Wikipedia? Ha! Or I could if you hadn't blocked it, of course.) Bishonen | talk 13:52, 20 April 2014 (UTC).

(talk page stalker) @Bishonen: If you want to go proxy-hunting you can check some of the proxy lists on the 'Net (such as this and/or this), to see if the IPs listed there have made unconstructive edits on WP. Or check if problematic IPs you encounter are listed there... Thomas.W ^talk 13:46, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

Have you had any luck with those lists, Thomas? And do problematic IP edits really prove an IP is an open proxy..? Bishonen | talk 13:52, 20 April 2014 (UTC).

@Bishonen: I haven't spent time with those lists since I wouldn't be able to do anything about it, if I found a proxy with problematic edits on WP. And problematic edits don't prove that an IP is a proxy, which isn't what I meant either, what I meant was that you, if you encounter a problematic IP, could check if it is listed as a proxy, and can be given a longer block than it would otherwise get.

external links removed

You recently messaged me that you removed one or more external links that I had added. After rereading the guide-lines on external links I think I see where I offended. I have added a link to search results from a vertical search engine that focuses on MSDSs. I see that's in the "Avoid" section of the guidelines and wont be doing that again. I wanted to touch bases with you and make sure that is the offense that you noted as well.

I am rather passionate about MSDS availability and I get very frustrated by broken links to MSDS. In particular, SIRI (siri.org) has hundreds of dead links on wikipedia and even more frustrating is that they have hundreds of thousands of dead links in their search results. They are by far the recognized leader in free access to MSDS but the site seems to be on cruise control and the driver has abandoned the vehicle.

Enough of my rant. Please let me know if I am on the right track with my mini-crusade to update MSDS info on wikipedia.
