Maiorana surname

Hi User:DVdm, could you help me out by editing the Maiorana surname article? Such as researching it's origin, country, people (for example Norman people). I'm trying to get it back to a version similar to this: [1], where it says it means Mayor in Anglo-Saxon, unless the current article is more valid as an Irish name. Could you also add categories, such as countries, language, type of surname (for example occupational)and images, such as coat of arms (if possible). Also if you could add more famous people with the name and give it a name infobox. I would really appreciate your help. Cheers

Feel free to remove existing information and categories already there. --Emperorofthedaleks (talk) 22:11, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think you better go to the article talk page Talk:Maiorana. Not much going on there yet, but you'll find a pointer to Wikipedia:WikiProject Anthroponymy, where, if you are interested in editing surname articles, you can add your username. You might request for help on the project talk page Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anthroponymy. Google is another friend

Commas, not comma's

The plural of "comma" is "commas". without an apostrophe. It's not a possessive, nor an abbreviation. Agree? DOwenWilliams (talk) 15:45, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@DOwenWilliams: agree 100%. In Dutch the plural is komma's with an apostrophe. Immediately after that string of edits of my old cite templates I looked at my watchlist, and did a

Facepalm. It was too late

. Thanks anyway! - DVdm (talk) 16:13, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, that's a rather newfangled idea. SCNR :D Paradoctor (talk) 17:01, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proton radius

Hi! I ask your input about proton radius measurement details by scattering as mentioned on talk:charge radius and talk:proton.--5.2.200.163 (talk) 17:21, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Electron (ionic) radius

I ask you a similar input pertaining this time to electron (ionic) radius as mentioned at talk:point particle, talk:ionic radius and talk:electride. Thanks.--5.2.200.163 (talk) 17:32, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sulphur Hexafluoride

I modified this article to correct the reactions of SF6 (which currently does not have any references/citations) and you have reverted it back to incorrect information stating that I need to cite sources. As a chemist working with a very skilled Inorganic Chemist I know that I edited correctly but don't have citations. The current page doesn't have a citation so maybe the entire sentence should be removed? 31.205.3.72 (talk) 12:19, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please sign all your talk page messages with four tildes (~~~~). Thanks.

No, let's find a source for the changes. If you have doubts about the current status, you can add a {{cn}} tag to it. I'll see if I can find a source for either way. Please do so too? Cheers - DVdm (talk) 12:22, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

See, for instance, [2]: "Sulphur Hexafluoride is a very inert gas and is reported to not react wilh molten sodium unless it is boiling.'"" - DVdm (talk) 12:30, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I made a slight modification to the text, with source. See [3] - Cheers - DVdm (talk) 13:50, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Crowborough

See my reply on my talk page. Where is your source for the measurement of the area of the common used for golf as it is incorrect.Fragum1 (talk) 15:32, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The place for you to go, is the article talk page Talk:Crowborough. Good luck. - DVdm (talk) 15:34, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I assume you have removed the reference to Conan Doyle being a past Captain of Crowborough Beacon. If so why? I am still waiting for you to tell me where you got the information that less than 50% of the common is used for playing golf. You accused me of vandalism for amending and adding to the article about the club. Your vandalism is even greater by deleting the additional information I gave which makes the post much more rounded,Fragum1 (talk) 15:45, 2 February 2016 (UTC)factually correct and informative.[reply]

Dear @Fragum1: I have restored sourced content (removed by you), and removed new unsourced content (added by you). As I said, you really need to go to the article talk page with your remarks. You will find other contributors (like Ehrenkater (talk · contribs)) there with whom you can find agreement over what is to be done with the article. Try it, it will work. - DVdm (talk) 15:52, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It would be easier if you could just answer the question and not evade the question like a politician, or maybe you have made up the measurements. I cited the source for the measurement yet you still deleted it. The Defra letter source was cited yet you deleted that also. Do you have a grudge against the golf club? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fragum1 (talk • contribs) 16:13, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please sign all your talk page messages with four tildes (~~~~). Thanks.

You removed sourced content here: [4]. You added unsourced content here: [5]. Sticking something like "<ref>Extracted from archive records at Crowborough Beacon</ref>" to your text, is not even close to adding wp:reliable sources. Read about adding sources here: wp:Citing sources. - DVdm (talk) 16:32, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OK - I will rewrite the article with sources documented for every statement I make. Where the source is CBGC archives then a note will be added to say they are open to inspection on application. Please insert your source for saying that less than 50% of the land owned by CBGC is used for playing golf because I can't find any reference to this. Newspaper articles are often an unreliable source unless the information in their articles is confirmed by all parties mentioned in an article. Let us hope that by adding sourced material the article can be published with reliable facts and provide a source of information for the benefit of all. Several facts are mentioned in the Golf Club centenary book to which the club hold the copyright. If you wish to add any facts taken from that book then application to reproduce them should be made to the general manager. Fragum1 (talk) 18:28, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't open a new section for each message that you write on a talk page, and please indent your talk page messages as outlined in wp:THREAD and wp:INDENT. Thanks.

You can write all this on the article talk page and discuss with the contributors of the article. Good luck. - DVdm (talk) 18:36, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Govind Singh

I don't know how to talk or reply your message, if it is not right place than please remove it and i'm sorry about it. I removed some information from that page due to that was not authentic, I've mentioned proper references to political career. Private websites or news websites could not always authenticate data.Thanks. 122.175.141.231 (talk) 17:27, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, with this edit you seem to have added a reference without having added any content. Moreover, you added the reference to a section header, which is something we can't do—see MOS:HEADER. - DVdm (talk) 17:30, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
	Excellent work! Thanks for helping keep the place tidy :) — MusikAnimal ^talk 18:09, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My pleasure, so to speak. In turn, thanks for the often blazingly swift responses to some of my reports

Inertial frame edit

Please note the difference between the axis of rotation vs angular velocity vector. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriolis_force#cite_note-D.Hestenes-11

I believe my edit was correct. Cmfuen (talk) 15:59, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Re your edit [6]: please note: "The angular velocity vector Bv of a rotating object points along the axis of rotation."^[1]

Huggle patch

Hey, can you please send me your patched version of huggle to benapetr /at/ gmail /./ com? Thanks Petrb (talk) 13:27, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Petrb: Gmail seems to refuse the attachment, even without the compiled exe. Email sent and zipped source copied in shared dropbox folder, with an invitation. Let me know when you have it? Cheers - DVdm (talk) 14:14, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Petrb: I have left a new version 2.1.27.2 in the shared dropbox folder. This one traps the HTTPS warnings at an earlier stage, and thus for all the API-calls.

By the way, have you read the email and have you found the folder? - DVdm (talk) 09:39, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

speedy A7

With respect to Pratap Singh Khachariyawas. members of national or state legislative assemblies are notable, however incomplete or poorly written the article. I'll follow up with the new editor. DGG ( talk ) 16:18, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. But I remain skeptic about the future of this, ahem, article. Cheers - DVdm (talk) 16:26, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

HG

Hello, did u find a way to upload ur Version of Huggle 2.1.27? --Traeumer (talk) 12:02, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Der.Traeumer: no response on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T126357. As you can see above, I have sent one to user Petrb, but I have no idea whether he got it. Meanwhile I have a version 2.1.27.4 that's preforming pretty well. Perhaps you can ping Petr about it. Anyway, if you send me a valid email adress, I will invite you on that shared dropbox folder. You'll find a zipped source, plus a compiled exe. Whenever I have a new build, I will put it in there. Cheers - DVdm (talk) 12:29, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thx, my Email is der.traumer /at/ gmx /./ net . Regards --Traeumer (talk) 12:33, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation sent. Please let me know if/when you get it? Thx. - DVdm (talk) 12:39, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Im sry, spelling error. der.traeumer /at/ gmx /./ net. Pls try it again. --Traeumer (talk) 12:41, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation sent to new address. - DVdm (talk) 12:48, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, its working on german wiki too. I will test it later more. Greets --Traeumer (talk) 12:51, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Petrb and Der.Traeumer: new version 2.1.27.5 in shared dropbox. Caught another bug: stripping of html diff table is corrected. The original program counted on finding single quotes in result, but API returns double quotes. Removed a few dirty error traps. - DVdm (talk) 15:11, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Petrb and Der.Traeumer: there's one thing that I really have great difficulty with: in H3, when new entries are added to the queue, the user warning level (1,2,3,4) is correctly shown in the coloured blobs in the queue ^{(not in the strips or in the user windows, but that's an H3-problem).} Since quite some time, this does not happen in H2 anymore. I have tried to trace the reason for this, but I really can't find it... - DVdm (talk) 15:52, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
