My wheel-warring policy:

Admins: If you see me make a logged action that you think I should not have done, I will not consider it wheel-warring if you undo it without asking for my permission. However, if I marked the action as being done after running a checkuser query, or as part of a sockpuppet investigation, you should ask me or another checkuser before undoing it. In any case, if you do revert one of my actions, I would appreciate it if you tell me that you did so. Thanks!

Recent revert and vandalism accusation

In the article 'propranolol' i changed the blatently incorrect (if not vandalised) drug name "Avlocardyl mentally handicapped" to the correct drug name "Avlocardyl retard", but this change was reverted. The phrase 'retard' denotes long duration of action and has absolutely nothing to do with 'mentally handicapped'. The correct drug name can be checked in ten seconds on google. I feel leaving this drug name as 'Avlocardyl mentally handicapped' is not only a blatent error, but is also entirely misleading as to the nature of the drug. Perhaps if you checked edits in the context they were made this error would have been avoided.

Thanks.

Problematic editor - suggestions?

Howdy, JD. How might Wdl1961 (talk · contribs) best be guided towards coöperative participation? There've been one or two good additions, but mostly bizarre, random and/or abstruse entries on various talk pages, moving or copying entire blocks of text from one talk page to another, and repeated removals of valid templates (e.g. 1, 2). I've put appropriate and sequential warnings on his/her talk page in case it becomes necessary to put in for a block, but to try and avoid that I have also repeatedly tried to engage and coach this user (e.g. here, here, and here), with no success. I think English is not this user's first language, or perhaps there's some other impediment to effective communication. Have you any suggestions for how best to deal with an editor such as this? Thanks! —Scheinwerfermann ^T·_C16:31, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. I'm not really sure. I don't have a ton of experience mentoring users. I would say ask someone who is in MedCab or ArbCom. J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 18:23, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

University of St. Thomas

Hi J.delanoy, Can you revert back to my changes on the University of St. Thomas - Houston page if go back and list the edit summary for each change? I am from the University's Marketing Communication's Department and am trying to make sure the information on the Wikipedia page is correct. The updates are accurate as I am referencing the 2009 University Fact Book. Thank you.

I find it very hard to believe that someone from a university's Marketing Communication's Department would make an edit like this. J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 20:17, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct I did not make that change!!? I am making the changes from my office on campus, the same IP I am guessing that all the students use as well. Would creating a user name help make my changes creditable? Or what else do you suggest so that I may move forward and show my boss that my task of updating the Wikipedia page is complete. Thanks.

Well, the tool I am using undoes all consecutive edits made by the same user. I will change the article back to the version before the other person vandalized. That should will reinstate your changes. J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 20:35, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I went ahead and created a user name for my department so any further changes from Marketing Communications will not be mistaken for vandalizing. --UST MarCom (talk) 20:47, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dear J.Delanoy

You grassed me up for vandalising an article about Charles Saxe-Coberg Gotha, I posted a message telling people to stand up against the monarchy, this is not vandalism, I was merely adding a new opinion to a phenominally biased site.

Hey there...

I'm having some problems with an I.P user/Anon: 219.78.119.49. S/he keeps persistently harassing me, and reverting edits. Another user gave him a level 4 warning for disruptive comments and the person still hasn't stopped. On my talk page the person keeps leaving me taunting messages. What should I do? If I report the person, what should it be labeled as? Vandalism? In the history of my talk page: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Papercutbiology&action=history and some rude comments he made against me in the history of fourth dimension article.

Thanks, Papercutbiology♫ (talk) 12:32, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Help

Hi J.delanoy, I ran across the article Taylor Fawcett using Twinkle, I reverted vandalism to last version by ClueBot, and it still looked like junk. I added a delete tag (Twinkle again) and clicked ok. I opened the article back up to double-check, and see it has a history - I'm not sure what to do at this point, and since you had edited the article in the past, I'm coming to you with the "What should I do" question. Thanks. — Ched (talk) 20:32, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't look like you were online at the moment, I went to help desk to get it straightened out. Sorry to bother ya. — Ched (talk) 20:51, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ghostwriter

Why the revert? Of the three changes made, one was a non-controversial elaboration of the legislative correspondence process, another was a removal of John McCain's book from the list of ghostwritten books (the change was documented and justified in the talk page) and the third was citation requests for assertions that Presidents Reagan and Kennedy had used ghostwriters. I was a little sloppy on two of the edit summaries, I'll admit, but I'd hardly call these unconstructive edits. 131.96.47.8 (talk) 20:48, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Is it OK for a user to deny an unblock request if they know that they will not be unblocked? I dont think so, but it their request was "lol" or "b!@#$", etc. would it be OK? α§ʈάt̪íňέ-210 ^{discovered elements ∞ what am I?} 22:41, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If it's obviously vandalism, you probably could get away with it, but it may be easier to just let an admin do it. I personally don't see a problem with it. J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 22:43, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Other administrators do have a problem with it though, so it is best for you to just leave it to an administrator. NuclearWarfare _(Talk) 22:44, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lasers for Wireless Electricity Transmission

Advantages of Lasers for Wireless Electricity Transmission is a long pending discussion on the WET talk page. I think this is a great and sound technology to provide wireless power at large distances. Please counter as to why this is not so?

Umm, what? J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 05:04, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dear J.delanoy, The understanding of Lasers and Photo-detectors is based upon the Modern Quantum Mechanics. Both these phenomenon are not explainable using classical Electromagnetic theory. All of the other methods of Wireless Energy Transfer are based upon methods and techniques that lie within the framework of classical theory. It is quite hard for most people to grasp the principles of Quantum Mechanics which is observable only at the micro-matter level in nature. Or with experiments not common in nature. But, application of Quantum Mechanics always produces true real world result. The technology of using Lasers and photo-detectors for Wireless Energy Transfer is one such sound and clear application of Modern Physics. Could you please provide details on why you thought that "advantage of Lasers" is inappropriate for Wireless Energy Transfer page.

To add my two penn'orth-- I didn't see that section but I am not sure I agree with you. I work for a molevular modelling company writing computer software (www.accelrys.com) I do kinda know vaguely what you are on about. Lasers are not really part of quantum theory at all and quite well be described by classical physics, at least in the most part. I suppose if you go below atom level you would need quantum theory but not before then. The little buggers just bash off the walls of the glass and can't get out, not hard to describe physically.

BTW I have worked with laser and fibre optic guided weapon systems I am no expert but do vaguely know what I am on about.

I meant that I have no idea why you are telling me this. J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 14:43, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's good to know that you are closely linked with technology and science.

My main motivation comes because of recent highlight on Wireless Power sector. Most companies are trying to transfer energy wirelessly using methods of Electromagnetic induction and resonance that are quite straight out of Maxwell's equations. However, in Maxwell's equation there is no provision for band-gap in atoms upon which the whole concept of Lasers is based. Also photo-detectors would have to work independent of wavelengtha dn material of choice if it was not for Quantum theory. The concept of light quanta or photon is typically attributed to Modern Physics.

Check out my company's website at ^[1] This is not an advert but you can get a free copy and loads of information in the help text there.

This is not a commercial recommendation, just as a friend if you are interested you may find it helpful. The science goes above me a bit really I am just a techie.

Hey J.

User:70.240.205.50

I wasn't sure if you blocked this user due to my mistaken warning on the AIV page before I could remove it. Upon further investigation, the comment that I reverted (admittedly with Huggle) was just an angry reply to a good faith edit that was reverted by another editor on South Park Mexican. Although, looking at his other contribs, it seems that all of his other edits today were indeed vandalism, so the AIV warning was probably needed, just not the particular edit that i warned about... Sorry for any confusion this may have caused. I did leave a note on his page to create an account when he comes back... Pax85 (talk) 20:47, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mothstorm

Hi,

You've just speedy deleted the page Mothstorm that I created. I'm trying to sort out the mess that is this trilogy; I don't see that it's in any way advertizing. I intend to write some kind of plot summary, sort out the summaries in the other 2 (which look like copypaste), get a picture for this novel...sort the whole thing out. I've already fixed up David Wyatt.

I'm trying hard to improve the project here - I am in no way connected with the books, I hadn't heard of the things until earlier today when a fairly weak attempt at creating David Wyatt was speedied, and I decided to try and make a good job of it.

There's no advertizing at all going on here; just trying to get these books properly represented.

So...can I have the page back please, so I can get on with sorting the mess out?

i left an edit summary

i left an edit summary before, explaining my action. i was reverted and accused of not leaving an explanation. i reverted him and explanined that i had an edit summary, it happened again, with the user totally ignoring the fact when i left a note on his talk page162.84.134.46 (talk) 00:30, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"I used an edit summary" does not give you a carte blanche to unilaterally remove large sections of encyclopedic, cited text at a whim. Please discuss on the talk page first. J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 00:34, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

that doesnt give the right for users to accuse me of not explaining either, instead of trying to talk properly and figure out whats wrong, and explain.

just because something is cited doesnt mean its encyclopedic. it reads more like the anthropological sectiosn of encyclopedia britiannicca in the 19th century, as it treated africans more like zoo specimens than humans —Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.84.134.46 (talk) 00:42, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No it does not. It is a critical analysis of the physical characteristics of a specific group of humans. If you deny that there are distinct differences between what used to be termed races, you are either blind or are willfully ignoring your eyesight. And, as the text is neutral, well-written, and cited, the onus is on you to explain why the text should not be included, not the other way around. J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 00:46, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi J.delanoy, I think above user is referring to me. I did leave the user a template message [1] but I didn't accuse user of not leaving an edit summary.

Part of the template message says ‘please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary.’, which is not quite the same.

The IP user then left me a message on my talk page, to which I responded. Unfortunately it has resulted in this

Huggle-based comment

You're use of Wikipedia:Huggle to revert some changes to Pigeon (Pushing Daisies) was a mistake. Feel free to review the history of that article's edit changes if you disagree with my assessment. Thanks. 72.244.203.122 (talk) 01:13, 25 February 2009 (UTC).[reply]
