History of Hot Tubs, Water Filters, and Spa Filters

Consent Provided Response

Here you go... Okay, see if placed the statement/links at the bottom of this one correctly: http://www.spasnstuff.com/hot-tub-faq/hot-tub-history/anthology-of-the-hot-tub-a-brief-history-of-the-spa.html Please note the following is the source for both History of Water Filters and History of Spa Filters, so we only have the declarative statement once...Is that OK?): http://www.spasnstuff.com/hot-tub-faq/history-of-water-filters/history-of-water-filters.html

I am indeed the author of all three articles and was sharing the content - the release statement seems fine, but do I place it at the end of the article on the Spasnstuff.com site? Then when done - do you restore the articles - or do I place them again? just checking... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rwricker (talk • contribs) 06:00, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Ehrgeiz

I've responded on the talk page. If you could provide a comment on why the article shouldn't be moved, I'd appreciate it. The fact is that "God Bless the Ring" is a part of the games title. Calling the article simply Ehrgeiz gives it an incomplete title, which is why I requested the move. The Prince (talk) 21:49, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for closing the AfD on this article which I wrote.

I notice someone also put a COI tag on the page. I offered full explanation regarding COI on the Discussion Page of the article, but am unsure of the process for review (and hopefully removal) of the COI tag.

Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Help please

Dear Tevildo, With due respect to the deletion decision of the article Death and Adjustment Hypotheses, I want to request you to help me create an article on the book Quest for a New Death, the first book containing the hypotheses. Practically, I am the author of the book and it is really odd and tough for me to create a neutral article on it. But if it is worth it, I want that article to be created. Even I can supply you with the report from the Death Studies journal. Please try to help me. I will be glad if you reply me on my e-mail mohammadsamirhossain@yahoo.com .Shoovrow (talk) 14:12, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. If you see the following web page you will find some statement from Robert A Neimeyer of the University of Memphis, who is also the editor in chief of the Journal "Death Studies" - http://www.bircham.us/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=88&Itemid=109 Also the reference from McGraw-Hill is from a website that contains educational material for higher education courses from the part of McGraw-Hill itself. Could you pls help me write the primary structure of the article, so that I can add to it? Please try to help me at the primary stage, cause it is not pleasant to see the afd tag with any article. If you give me your e-mail address to mine mentioned above, I can mail you the full documents to write down the primary version. Please try to help me.Shoovrow (talk) 18:05, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Tevildo. I like the way you are proceeding. I should let you know that the first day when I found the MCGraw-Hill article was a bit confusing for me. I searched for the author of it by clicking its back links but they were all forbidden for the browsers. All I could find that it is purely a McGraw-Hill property. It seemed a bit funny to me finding myself so significant in McGraw-Hill educational material. Even I tried to verify the authenticity of the web page. But all I found was McGraw-Hill and the courses that it offers for higher education. Finally I accepted the truth and decided to use it as it is practically! Also I have another 3rd party reference to my book. It is the highest daily news paper in our country that reviewed my book. You can see it at http://www.thedailystar.net/story.php?nid=56607 . Here you will find the cover page photo of the book too. I am afraid there is no more first class 3rd party reference to the book as far as I can think. Let me know what further can be done. Oh! another thing. My second book, Human Immortality, containing the elaboration of the theory was published in 2008 and also got reviewed by the same journal (waiting for print) and that one is also under a review by the special interest group for spirituality at Royal College of Psychiatrists at London, but all theses are awaited for print.Shoovrow (talk) 02:02, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

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.

British Rail Class 04 hatnote

My apologies that this covers an edit from several months ago -- to regulate my watchlist I keep a number of articles on an 'off watch list', and check these weekly. I got rather behind with one of the lists...

OK, in this edit to the BR Class 04 article you added a hatnote pointing to the "Brush Type 4". I don't understand the reasoning for your addition. The terms 'class' and 'type' would never normally be interchanged in these contexts. For diesels, 'Class' always refers to the TOPS class, while Type 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 refer to groups of loco types arranged by power output. The Brush Type 4 is Class 47 and is never going to be mistaken for a Class 04 shunter... Could you explain please?

EdJogg (talk) 13:00, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

I see you're not currently active, so I've been WP:BOLD and removed the hatnote. We can replace it later if appropriate. -- EdJogg (talk) 23:30, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi there - sorry for not getting back to you earlier. I added the hatnote because I was reading an accident report from the sixties in which the loco in question was referred to as a "Class 4 CoCo". I suppose anyone who is in the habit of reading accident reports from the sixties would know that it should have been "[Brush] Type 4" instead, but I thought it was possible that someone would want to look up "Class 4" based on such a source; at the moment, they'll only get to the shunter page rather than the Class 47 page. Perhaps {{distinguish}} rather than {{See also}} might have been a better hatnote, but I agree it's not essential. (Tevildo not-logged-in) 80.254.147.84 (talk) 17:27, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Hmm, interesting. The accident report must have been pre-TOPS then, when classes came into existence. I had not come across such terminology before. Official accident reports are usually quite precise, and I would expect accompanying running numbers and even manufacturers to be quoted. As it is qualified with 'CoCo', any confusion at BR Class 04 would be short-lived, although I acknowledge that the reader would not know where to go next.

Tricky.

My gut feeling is to leave the hatnote off. The term 'Class 4' is not widely used (at least, not since TOPS was introduced), and the Class 47 page would also have to be modified to mention this alternative name -- at the moment it doesn't even mention "Brush Type 4" in the lede text. There is also the problem that the British Rail Class 50 could also be called a Type 4 (English Electric, in this case).

Looking at my 2 'Observer's' books, the 1961 version does not mention Type 1/2/3/4 at all. The 1966 version clearly refers to Type 1, Type 2, etc

If you have a strong feeling over this, I'm happy to get the matter discussed at the UK Railway WikiProject, where we could get a broader set of opinions.

and your picking up my obviously off-play and drifting-away second question : among french sexologists, an intercourse is said (or rather was said some 50 years ago...) to be "eupareunique" ("nice union" in greek) when physically and psy.lly satisfactory for both partners. As for "thanatophily" , I suddenly wondered if it is correct in english after having used it in the french meaning, as "cultural tendency to love (or not to be afraid of) death, as Mexicans and Japoneses are said to be" ; in french, having sex with corpses is called "necrophilie" .

Reference desk / Science

Please explain why you have hatted my comment at the "Converting motor to generator" thread on the reference desk. [1] The hatnote certainly makes no sense at all unless it is you that is the banned editor (which does not seem likely) and your edit summary makes no sense either, there is no user:WickWack and the IP did not self-identify. SpinningSpark 15:02, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

For WickWack's ban, see this WP:AN posting. The IP user you replied to is definitely WickWack (IP address, geolocation, writing style, subject matter), and I think it's more sensible to hide replies to illegal postings as well as the postings themselves. Perhaps it might be better to delete (rather than hat) WickWack's posting and your reply. Tevildo (talk) 15:36, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

I'm not particularly objecting to the post getting hatted (or even deleted). It is just that there was insufficient explanation for me to understand why it was happening. A link in the edit summary would have helped, or even a note on my talk page. I am enough of a semi-regular at the RD to realise that this sort of removal is a frequent occurence. However, the post was not obvious trolling and my reply was good faith. If I had been a newbie your action would have been quite disconcerting. SpinningSpark 16:02, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

I provided the first response to the Ref. Desk question and object to the hatting of subsequent comments because:

• it is done disregarding the OP's question and making no attempt to volunteer useful information. The stated aim of the "hat" is to stifle discussion of the particular motor shown, which will prevent the reasonable subsequent question by SpinningSpark being answered.
• a reference desk should respond with best-effort answers to questions and not entertain prejudice against real or imaginary persons.
• The post that mentions a squirrel-cage motor is coherent, constructive and compatible with my own post. It simply addresses the motor principle in more detail than I did. I do not appreciate having my posted answer now isolated as the "only acceptable" one of three but that is exactly what Tevildo's action does. 84.209.89.214 (talk) 19:46, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Those that troll and disrupt need to be stepped on hard, even when they have their "good guy" face on. "Good guy" is invariably followed by "bad guy". Banned by the community means you are not allowed to edit here - period. I have now deleted it altogether along with my own response. SpinningSpark 21:30, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Probably the best thing to do in the circumstances. I should point out that 84.209.89.214 is _not_ WickWack, and, if WickWack is reading this, all he has to do in order to be able to contribute is register an account. Tevildo (talk) 22:09, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

I suggest you look at users' edit histories and consider recent edits and blocks at the ref desk before you greenlight questions about "civilised congolese". Search my user page for "negress" and "congo" as well, and draw what conclusions you like. μηδείς (talk) 02:33, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Any suggestions I have in this area would violate WP:NPA. Tevildo (talk) 08:04, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
