Hi, sorry to contact you like this it's just that i know no other way to get a hold of you. I'm a bit "new" here when it comes down to wiki edits, i'm only doing this for a few months now, and mostly only contributing with minor edits, i know Wikipedia has a lot of rules, it's really hard to learn and memorize all of them, especially the "bbcodes" rules.
I'm no vandal or anything like that, i'm just trying to show my appreciation to Wikipedia by trying to expand some of its articles that i know a thing or two about, i know i still have allot of learning to do, but i can just hope i'm contributing more to the community then hurting it. Sincere respect for the position you occupy on this site and the patience you have for giving a helping hand to new guys like me. Rain 1911 (talk) 20:49, 2 April 2013 (UTC) |

Hey RJFJR :). It looks like with this edit you accidentally removed the infobox too; this is quite possibly a bug with the new editor. After you'd removed the cleanup template, did the infobox still appear before you hit 'save', and then get lost? Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 23:23, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

You welcomed a new user
Hi. I see you welcomed new user Nicolodeonicx. I don't know if people who welcome new users follow them up? This user is, so far, problematic; please see his/her talk page. Thank you, --Hordaland (talk) 16:11, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
- I just went through the user's many contributions of the last couple of days. S/he has made a great many errors, changing a correct preposition to a wrong one, changing verb tenses incorrectly, adding "the" where it doesn't belong, etc. I think that English must not be her/his mother tongue. I've fixed the errors, but may not spend much more time on this user. S/he will do a lot of damage if this keeps up. --Hordaland (talk) 03:18, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
Help, please?
I am looking for an WP-experienced editor/admin to help me with a problem related to changes I made on the Federal Assault Weapons Ban article. From reading old talk pages, I see you've helped before and I hope you can help me!
My changes were to: replace three occurrences of the term "cosmetic features" with one "some features" and one "features"; remove POV word "mere"; replace "extract" with "eject"; replace vague "former U.S. law" with its common name; and tighten up two redundancies.)
When I made the changes, another user undid them. I undid his "undo," which he then re-did. At that point I decided not to undo again, because obviously this was going nowhere - and I found a message he'd left on my talk page. After reading his message, I replied that I would read-up on WP:CONTENTDISPUTE and decide what to do next.
Maybe it was a bad decision, but I decided General advice might not work because nothing about firearms these days seems like "small content issues." I skipped the Third opinion option for the same reason. I chose to Request community input, and wow! It has been a nightmare (for me anyway) ever since. On the talk page section I started, other editors' replies to me seem unfriendly - one even hostile - and there seems to be a general assumption that I am not acting in good faith. (If the page seems choppy, I apologize. I'm not sure I'd ever participated on a talk page before, and I'm pretty sure I'd never started a talk section before.)
Can you please help me? Or do you know a good editor who can? If not, please let me know, and I will go back to step one and seek general advice.
Thanks you... sincerely, Lightbreather (talk) 21:49, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
n-body problem
I agree with your boldness: removing the FORTRAN computer program -- in the form it was present -- is good because it was an ugly looking thing. That said, FORTRAN code can be inserted into C++ and compiled (most older engineers know only FORTRAN). More important: the purpose of the code is to allow those interested to check not only the theory, but the example problem too (I'm still trying to finish uploading it).
With the Internet and especially Wikipedia, I can share this methodology (and more) with the entire world, not just a particular, say, Aerospace firm. The solution is entirely my own. I arrived at its solution while trying to distribute useful loads (body load, luggage, attached extra hardware, etc., to a basic structure) to the grid point (spatial points) of finite element models.
I. Bernard Cohen mentions Newton's opinion, given in Newton's book, in one of Cohen's Scientific American articles, which I referenced in the references.
I'm still checking for typing errors and trying to finish. If you have more questions please ask. Anyway, thank you for your help, I really appreciate it, and I hope you do more too.Rudrene (talk) 20:50, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Nomination of List of megaprojects for deletion
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5f/Ambox_warning_orange.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_orange.svg.png)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of megaprojects 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/List of megaprojects 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 notice from the top of the article. Gnevin (talk) 10:32, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

The article Russoft has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- no evidence of notability
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:43, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

Has the Pioneer anomaly been resolved?
(opinion of Suslin Disambiguator) As of Feb. 2014, Fernández-Rañada and Tiemblo-Ramos are NOT convinced the Pioneer anomaly is explained by the thermal model of Turyshev et al. Antonio Fernández-Rañada and Alfredo Tiemblo-Ramos propose "an explanation of the Pioneer anomaly that is a refinement of a previous one and is fully compatible with the cartography of the solar system. It is based on the non-equivalence of the atomic time and the astronomical time which happens to have the same observational fingerprint as the anomaly." http://www.nrcresearchpress.com/doi/abs/10.1139/p2012-086#.UtZzJxwhZPw Parametric invariance and the Pioneer anomaly - vol. 90, no 10, Oct. 2012, Canadian Journal of Physics "... the greatest source of uncertainty in the thermal model turned out to be due to the paint ... for which there is no literature on performance and likely degradation in the conditions on board the Pioneers" http://www.nature.com/nphys/journal/v8/n9/full/nphys2428.html "... and farewell to the Pioneer anomaly: Nature Physics" NO LITERATURE ON PERFORMANCE AND LIKELY DEGRADATION The uncertainty in the thermal model is based on surmise. I surmise that Milgrom is the Kepler of contemporary cosmology. If my surmise concerning Milgrom is correct, then any scientific paper that deals with gravity and ignores Milgrom is likely to be fatally flawed. I think that there 3 main problems with the explanation of Turyshev et al. of the Pioneer anomaly: (1) totally ignoring the work of Milgrom; (2) using an UNSUBSTANTIATED GUESS ABOUT THE PROPERTIES OF A PARTICULAR PAINT; (3) committing the fallacy of unjustified statistical precision. The computer simulation used by Turyshev et al. seems excellent, but their analysis falls short of high statistical confidence in finding an explanation for what they allege.

How do I find the page on which I commented
Sorry to bother you RJFJR but I got into making some suggestions to a page. Now response get notified in my e-mail. But I have no easy links to the _original article_ page whose talk page I edited. Without this reference making cogent responses is difficult. Powstini (talk) 04:46, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
Links to responses
Ooops ... don't get me wrong. I could be hasty but I am not computer illiterate, read threads etc ... Now I get an alert in my e-mail account where the first sentence of your reply is visible. When I click on "View Message" button I am on your talk page, but not led to your answer, only my contribution. Yes updated the page also. Could try going to history to see your response post, but why did it not come up by itself. Thanks for the tip about Contributions. It was not visible because it was collapsed under Tools. Apologies from a slow learner. Powstini (talk) 02:07, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Basic Wikipedia codes and tools
So I just wanted to ask you as a new member, what are some basic commonly used editing codes that may help someone like me? I would also like to know what useful tools are available for start-ups. One thing I am really interested in figuring out is how to put in references. Usually, I see it organized by author, time and date, but when I click the reference button in my tool menu, it only puts in the link. TheRealAfroMan (talk) 22:33, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Make decide to put in page about a superconductivity (April 24)
I think must be explain in page about a superconductivity thats, the fact of a superconductivity always is been a science electro-technical effect in a applied physics which effect, always has been a simple science base of all electronics and all microelectronics as why that a superconductivity was been scientifically discovered at first in a electro-technical engineering, but someone science always wanted a science as a superconductivity always was beenig a science of very colder melting of all metals. It always seems me that a superconductivity always been good as electro-technical effect in a applied physics but not it been as a colder effect, lets I always think it is been always science. Thanks!--Alex Sazonov (talk) 11:28, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

Edit-a-thon invite
Switchstance
Please remember to clean up the incoming links after your page move: links which previously led to the album should still lead there. PamD 08:48, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
- I've just found that there's an existing redirect from Switch stance to a section of Footedness (and I've made one from the hyphenated version too): perhaps a hatnote on the album article, and the album moved back to the undisambiguated title, would be the best solution?

amp always increase power?
An interesting and reasonable question... IMO the assumption is that the input impedance of the (voltage) amplifier is always greater than the input impedance of the load. Then even with equal input and output voltages (as in the case of a voltage follower), the output current is bigger than the input one and there is a power amplification.

Deleting a previous version of a photo
Hello - I'm hoping that you can help me with this. I uploaded a photo to File:Linden Tree and Gravestones, Woodlawn Cemetery, Bronx, NY - September 16, 2012.jpg. It looked too bright, so I tried to replace it with a better (slightly darker) version. That worked, but the original photo is still showing up in the file history. I looked for instructions on how to delete the original, but the only instructions I found said to request a deletion of the entire file (both the original and the good photo) and upload another photo under a different file name. Is there any way to get rid of just the original (in this case the brighter one) and leave the better one (slightly darker)? Or do I really need to upload the better photo under a different file name and submit a request to have the existing page/file deleted? Thanks in advance for any advice/assistance. --Msact (talk) 00:16, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Help Desk Question
The original poster cannot be helped. I have very little patience with unregistered editors who make demands that registered editors help them do things that being autoconfirmed would let them do themselves. The IP changed between the two edits, which is common, although nearly all persistent IP editors know beyond certainty that their IP addresses are static and so they have a good editing history. (Either that, or they are trying to avoid accountability.) I have very little patience with unregistered editors who make demands that we help them. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:14, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
Lists vs categories
You nominated a list for deletion at AfD, with your rationale being that it would be "better served" by a category. Note the guideline WP:NOTDUP. Which states:
"It is neither improper nor uncommon to simultaneously have a category, a list, and a navigation template which all cover the same topic. These redundant systems of organizing information are considered to be complementary, not inappropriately duplicative. Furthermore, arguing that a category duplicates a list (or vice versa) at a deletion discussion is not a valid reason for deletion and should be avoided."
Epeefleche (talk) 22:42, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
- [moving comment here, so as not to bifurcate discussion -- makes it easier for readers to follow it if they do not have to go back and forth between talk pages ... Epeefleche]
- I read your post on my user talk page. Apparently you are referring to Talk:List of University of Pennsylvania people. That article has never been nominated for deletion. Nominations for deletion go to subpages of WP:AFD. What you seem to be referring to is a comment I made 4 years ago on the talk page that the list was very long and could we improve it. Someone else suggested splitting it (2 years ago). There has been recent discussion. No action has been taken to delete, it has not been formally proposed for deletion and no one is currently suggesting deletion. RJFJR (talk) 14:33, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
- You are correct that that what you wrote did not appear at AfD. But you did, clearly, suggest that instead of the list -- which exists -- we should have a category.
- You wrote: "This is a looong list. Would it be better served by a category?" And editors have been !voting on your suggestion.
- The above guideline is applicable. "It is neither improper nor uncommon to simultaneously have a category [and] a list ... which all cover the same topic. These redundant systems of organizing information are considered to be complementary, not inappropriately duplicative. Furthermore, arguing that a category duplicates a list (or vice versa) at a deletion discussion is not a valid reason for deletion and should be avoided." Epeefleche (talk) 17:57, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
Dear RJFJR, sorry for the trouble. Please, help me: a second article about RPD was put up for deletion. Sorry, I'm not very good at English Wikipedia, and bad know English. So I don't understand the exact, specific reason for the removal of the article, and can't find the talk page of deleted articles to write down the arguments for its preservation. Maybe it can be improved, modified, and save - or it is possible to make a small article, and make a link to current article, which has been upload to Commons as a PDF. Thank You very much. --AlexChirkin (talk) 15:27, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Hey RJFJR, I wasn't sure whether you were !voting in support of your own proposal here, or if you wanted to stay neutral on the issue. If you don't mind clarifying your position either way (or if you've changed your mind entirely) it would be appreciated. Cobblet (talk) 11:45, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Goods and Services Tax (India) Bill
Hi. Your suggestion that the article be renamed to Goods and Services Tax Bill (India) is a good one as the current name is very clumsy. I think we may be able to go one better. If we call it Goods and Services Tax (India) we would make the tax itself the subject of the article. The Bill is merely a parliamentary vehicle to get the tax into law. Then it won't matter how many Bills are needed to implement the tax and are needed to tweak its details later. Sound reasonable to you? Best wishes Guffydrawers (talk) 11:57, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Best Aquaculture Practices into Global Aquaculture Alliance. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. -- Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 23:14, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
Welcoming users
Just a note for welcoming users: Look first in the user's contributions before welcoming. You welcomed the user Mohammed Sameer Civil Engineer that has just only one edit. The edit that is on Wikipedia:Welcoming committee is even unconstructive, and I reverted it. Not a warning, just a reminder. Thanks! Pokéfan95 (talk) 03:30, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
A kitten for you!
Aw, thanks so much RJFJR!
I'll go run thru all the tutorials before I try editing again. Thanks for being so welcoming. I was honestly expecting to get chewed for doing anything at all!
Your warmth has melted my icy heart 😊

Thanks for your welcoming message. I am not new to WK, although I used to be a contributor to the Italian pages. But there is too much stupid patrolling around there, and I prefer a more relaxed environment.
I found it strange that there are no comments to my proposal of modification in the talk page of Uncertainty principle after 5 days... Cheers, Stiglich (talk) 17:08, 27 January 2016 (UTC) |

About the Küchük Muhammad page
I saw you changed the whole Tudor thing, and to my defense, I know it seemed like I was Vandalizing, but I wasn't, I took the Henry VII infobox from the infobox monarch or royalty and then copied everything from him and one by one I was taking things of and replacing it with new information, I only knew Kuchuk's reign and that he had two sons, while in the mid of these edits I was blocked for bad behaviour. I hope you understand that Alexis Ivanov (talk) 21:06, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
