Welcome to Mac Davis's talk page
Admin coaching, etc. - Virtual classroom update[edit]Are you ready to get started? The waiting time over at Admin coaching is long (some people have been waiting in line since July). I'm an admin coach with the project, and for my students I set up a group discussion page so that we could all learn from each other. The scope of this concept has expanded into the Virtual classroom, which is an open forum for the teaching and learning of advanced Wikipedia skills. Anyone and everyone is welcome to participate, as a student, as a coach, or both. Every week or two a new major topic of discussion or classroom assignment is introduced, usually with a guest writer who presents his or her expertise on the current subject and who remains on hand to answer questions. Everyone is encouraged to participate in the discussions, such as sharing your expertise, asking and answering questions, etc. The current topic of discussion is vandalism, and our guest writer is Budgiekiller. All discussions are open-ended, so all previous discussion topics and classroom assignments are still there for viewing and further participation. There are also sections for posting miscellaneous topics and questions, requesting coaching assistance, etc. In addition to inviting those who would like to learn, I routinely invite experts from all over Wikipedia to come and contribute for the benefit of all. The VC is rapidly turning into a clearing house of the best resources, methods, and techniques known for working on Wikipedia. You are cordially invited to participate. Here's an announcement box which you can place on your userpage or at the top of your talk page for keeping up to date with classroom assignments. I hope to see you there. Sincerely, The Transhumanist 08:33, 12 December 2006 (UTC) Getting you an admin coach[edit]Hi Mac Davis. According to our request page, you are at or near the top of the list. Would you still like a coach? If so I will match you with one. Please let me know. Thanks! --Fang Aili talk 18:24, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
Concordia is currently trying to relaunch. I, and all the members of the ex-council, wish to welcome new members to the group. We are a group who aim to promote remaining civil, in an environment where messages can easily be interpretated wrongly. Help out now![edit]
We are a community, so can only work though community contributions and support. It's the helping that counts. Decision Making[edit]The council expired one month ago, but due to the current position of the group the current council will remain until the position of the group can be assessed, and whether it would be sensible to keep Concordia going. For most decisions, however, it will be decided by all who choose to partake in discussions. I am trying to relaunch because of the vast amounts of new members we have received, demonstrating that the aims are supported. If you wish to opt of of further talk-page communications, just let us know here. - Ian¹³/t 20:29, 13 December 2006 (UTC). Kindly delivered by MiszaBot.

Editwaring over it is rather pointless, especially if the user is indefbanned anyway. Agathoclea 15:16, 30 December 2006 (UTC) Monobook[edit]I've erased it now. The problem I was having a few weeks ago was getting anything to work properly. I was cutting and pasting from one of the pages (don't remember which one now) but without a lot of success. Basically, what I'm looking for is a rollback-type feature and other RC Patrol and anti-vandal type stuff. --Duke of Duchess Street 04:08, 31 December 2006 (UTC) All of it would be great. How do I actually paste it in properly? --Duke of Duchess Street 04:12, 31 December 2006 (UTC) Ok done, can you see if it looks the way it's supposed to on the page User:DukeOfDuchessStreet/monobook.js? --Duke of Duchess Street 04:14, 31 December 2006 (UTC) Ah, ok, I see the revert tool now. Great! I'm not really getting any popups - I thought I was supposed to have something that would show me the diff just be rolling over a link but all I get is the name of the page. --Duke of Duchess Street 04:20, 31 December 2006 (UTC) No change. --Duke of Duchess Street 04:29, 31 December 2006 (UTC) Thanks. The "subst:Revert tools" one hasn't expanded. Is that a problem? --Duke of Duchess Street 04:40, 31 December 2006 (UTC) Hm, doesn't seem to be any different. Maybe it's my browser? I'm going to try it again tomorrow. Thanks for the help, I might bug you some more later:) --Duke of Duchess Street 04:42, 31 December 2006 (UTC) Tried that and just tried putting them on different lines. Is there an instruction page I can look at? Maybe it needs an underscore or something?--Duke of Duchess Street 04:45, 31 December 2006 (UTC) Esperanza![edit]MAAAC! They... the deletionists.. they...

Talking with Epigraphist[edit]Hi! What do you want to talk about? X [Mac Davis] (DESK|How's my driving?) 04:35, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Epigraphist 04:42, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
That's okay. I just wanted to contact you because I read a messenge you left in the Talk section for a few of the revisions of that article. I thought you were contacting me! I guess I was wrong. Is this Wikipedia messenging or something? Epigraphist 04:46, 4 January 2007 (UTC) THANKS![edit]Thanks so much for being the first to take my test! I thought nobody would ever find it, and I'm constantly updating it, so feel free to try it again. Again, thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go custom signatures!FF7Freakzorz 01:35, 15 January 2007 (UTC) Medical advice[edit]The problem with talking about what it might be, or whether you should worry about it, is that this is giving medical advice. There's some ongoing discussion on this on the talk page. Anything that sounds like "don't worry about it" is IMO too close to saying "It's OK, don't see a doctor". All we want is "ask your doctor for medical advice, not us." Friday (talk) 20:37, 16 January 2007 (UTC) To expand on Friday's point, the most important parts of the discussion are at Wikipedia talk:Reference desk#Medical questions at RD: an analysis, which lists some of the reasons why we don't give medical advice, and Wikipedia talk:Reference desk#Dealing with medical questions which outlines a proposed process for handling these types of questions. I'm not trying to be an ogre here, but there's a lot of potential trouble that can fall out of medical advice. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 20:50, 16 January 2007 (UTC) Signature[edit]I was wondering why your signature has an "external link" in it. Really, it's an internal external link, because it's just linking to your talk page. It seems confusing, especially given that ex. links shouldn't be in signatures. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know... I'm not telling you to do anything with it. → JARED (t) 03:12, 17 January 2007 (UTC) Stop it.[edit]Please don't take your dispute with me to the main pages. Your attempt to prove a WP:POINT would be better served by discussing, not trying to draw me into unrelated conflicts. Hipocrite - «Talk» 15:34, 17 January 2007 (UTC) Your sig[edit]Hey Mac, Your sig has really confused me for a while, I keep thinking the X is a link to something (like on the refdesk, I think it's a source or reference or something). Per WP:SIG, you're not supposed to have external links in your sig. While this does lead to your talk page, I'm not sure why it's necessary (rather than simply a non-intrusive wikilink to User talk:Mac Davis. Are you doing it to save lines in your sig or something? Just curious. --Wooty Woot? contribs 01:40, 18 January 2007 (UTC) Orphaned fair use image (Image:DreamweaverMX2004MacOS X.png)[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:DreamweaverMX2004MacOS X.png.

Thanks, and happy editing! BuddingJournalist 07:42, 8 February 2007 (UTC) Dreams question[edit]Thanks for your contributions on my "waking from bad dreams question". Pretty cool... I thought people would think I'm nuts if I said I was consious in my dreams. Anyway, I've rarely had a good lucid dream and I always wake up right after realizing it's a dream. Sucks. I never actually controlled what happens, but now that I've found some information on this stuff I think I ought to experiment (if I remember to). I must say for some reason, I find it a little disturbing that people can have long-lived conciousness in their dreams control their dreams. But who knows maybe I'll get used to the idea. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.53.181.168 (talk) 02:56, 9 March 2007 (UTC). Re: Greenpeace Related[edit]Greenpeace-related[edit]Sorry to uh, be extremely late in replying! :) In my opinion, nuclear fusion power plants are the among the best possible sources of energy for the rest of human civilization—we know of nothing more powerful, safe, or efficient. Like eager publishers at a videogame convention, lots of sexy ideas float out there, tempting us with their merits. Hydrogen, biodiesel, hydro, coal, wind, tidal, geothermal... the list is endless. None of them seem to work so well, I think based on my research. Hydroelectric dams... according to a 2000 statistic, it would take about 2,600 square miles of deep enough water to supply enough power for Maryland. The fish don't appreciate it this very much either. However, I am skeptical, and haven't read up on hydroelectricity at all. But, I do believe it is rather difficult to find good sites for hydroelectric dams (they like special environments), and I find it interesting that no body mentions how any global reliance on this could disrupt the natural flow of water through the land, oceans, and atmosphere. There is also that idea about throwing linked buoys out over turbulent portions of the ocean, but that's kind of silly :) Solar power: Even assuming the sun is out, it's too expensive. I would put it as second best bet though if you had to pick from one of "the contenders." I kind of secretly like the idea of putting them on the moon and beaming down energy by MASER to ground stations on Earth. Fusion and solar, whether land-based or in some sort of crazy outer-space scheme are the kind of energy sources that I think are our best bets. Invest in fusion, and you will then have enough energy to export to the rest of the world, so we can invest in solar. I think people hardly know what radiation is, they just know it is bad. When you say "radiation," people think two things—Hiroshima, and Nagasaki. Well, not everybody even knows those. (Heh, Jaywalking on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno) Radiation is something we face everyday. When particle physicists in Canada were building the SNO, (ironically to detect radiation), they had major problems in radiation filtering. First, they had to dig a several-mile-deep, hole in the ground. Second, there could not be any dirt in the hole. So you cover the sides in concrete, and aluminum foil. Why couldn't there be any dirt in the hole? Well dirt is radioactive. Thorium-232 is found in dirt, along with Uranium isotopes. Their presence is over three times greater than lead's, and much more than gold or silver. It is not the toxin, but the dose, as toxologists say. What if the dose is a nuclear meltdown scenario? What is the worst ever? Chernobyl. The Chernobyl disaster in The Ukraine. Can you tell me how many people died of acute radiation exposure? Hundreds? Thousands? Millions? Between 28 and 21. 9 died from acute radiation sickness. (The figures normally fall between 20 and 75) The rest were accident workers, several died from accidents in cleaning up and the saving of lives. After 20 years, none of the expected increases in leukemia have been found in the population, nor the expected increase in solid, general cancer. Mac is reminded of [1][2]. Are nuclear reactors really that dangerous? Scaremongering by the news media has led many to believe that, but still, what went wrong at Chernobyl was not something that arose from an inherent flaw in nuclear power. It was the ignorance, stupidity, and carelessness of the Soviet Union that was responsible. Really! I'm serious! In the reactor's primitive design, there was already a dangerously large positive void coefficient. The RBMK reactor design was a light water reactor, meaning normal, real water is used to cool the whole thing down. The coolant gives the operators control over the reaction. Not only were the operators that night careless and violated plant procedures, probably applicable to their lack of knowledge about the reactor, several procedural irregularities contributed. There was a lack of communication between the safety operators and the operators in charge of a new experiment being run. If the coolant has bubbles (voids) of steam in it, the voids increase the amount of energy the reactor produces. The coolant is actually a neutron absorber, which sucks up radiation. Without intervention, the reactor produces more energy, creating more voids, damaging its radiation-sucking-up ability, becoming more difficult to control. The crew was not intelligible of this. Also, the control rods, another safety mechanism, was a more significant flaw. The control rod end tips were made of graphite, and the extenders (end areas above water surface, measuring 1m in length) were hollow and filled with water, while the balance of the control rod, the part that is the main controller, was made of boron carbide. For the few moments when control rods of this design are inserted into the reactor, coolant is displaced by the graphite ends of the rods. The neutron absorbing coolant (water) is replaced by neutron moderating inhibitor (graphite). For the first few seconds, the control rod activation increased the reactor's speed, rather than the desired effect. Ok, so what if, us Americans aren't smarter, and still hire high school kids to take care of the place? Pebble bed reactors are what many countries are investing in, especially South Africa, who is building two. Thorium, which is highly abundant in soil goes into these little carbon marbles (the pebbles), that, unlike traditional reactor fuel designs, don't decide to melt into the earth and spew radioactive clouds if no one is monitoring them. If you walk away from a pebble bed reactor, and let it do its own thing, it just sits there, and kills itself. It does not require dynamic active maintenance to keep safe, infact it requires dynamic active maintenance to keep it on. What about all those nasty eons of nuclear waste? Well that's something else that is new, nuclear reprocessing. Well, not really new, but a new way of thinking about nuclear fuel. Traditional reactors use 5% of their fuel, and the rest goes into 10,000 year storage. Yuck. What if instead you designed a system where you paid attention to the chain of nuclear decay, and reused the radioactive byproducts as fuel? This would be via breeder reactors, suitably poisoned and engineered to prevent easy and/ or hideable plutonium production. Such an exhaustive flexible fuel effort would use 90% of the fuel, and whatever remains has a half-life of mere decades, several orders of magnitude less. You could even, resuse recycle the waste we have sitting in nickele-isotope waste drums. Fuel shortages can be heard of nuclear, but there can't be any. Uranium and thorium, there is plenty of. Additionally, all of the uranium stores are not sitting in the wrong kind of countries we want to be funding, if you know what I mean. The U.S.A., for one, could become largely self-sufficient energy-wise. You could even use the waste as fuel. Just like in the breeder reactor which produces more fuel than it takes in, there are several other ways of transmutation. The Integral Fast Reactor was a proposed nuclear reactor with a nuclear fuel cycle that produced no transuranic waste, and in fact could consume it, to create more. It proceeded far in large-scale tests, but as with seemingly ever other large American science project, being built, funds were cut. (Ugh SSC!! Noooo!) In the first place, the whole idea that there is such a thing as "nuclear waste" is a bit of a misconception. More than 98% of the material in a spent nuclear fuel rod is being recycled in other parts of the world. About 97% of spent fuel is uranium: 2% is fissionable U-235 isotope, the fuel that powers the reactor and the other 95% is good old U-238, the same non-fissionable isotope that comes out of the ground. It can't be used for bombs. No, the isotope everybody really worries about is plutonium-239, which is formed when small amounts of U-238 absorb neutrons during the three-year cycle. It makes up 1% of spent fuel. Separating it and putting it back in a reactor as "mixed oxide fuel" (uranium plus plutonium) is no problem. Unfortunately, back in 1976, Jimmy Carter (I really didn't like him) decided that if we extracted the plutonium, somebody might run off with it and make a bomb. Therefore he cancelled fuel recycling. That created the problem of "nuclear waste." France recycles all its fuel rods and has never had any plutonium stolen. As for the remaining 2% of the fuel rod—the highly radioactive transuranic elements and fission byproducts—it is all stored in a single room in Le Havre. The real waste problem in this country is the 10 million tons of carbon dioxide we throw into the atmosphere every day from coal-fired electric boilers. That constitutes almost 15% of the world's carbon dioxide garbage, which environmentalists warn us is causing global warming. I personally think it ironic that the same people are also opposing the only technology that could conceivably replace those coal plants. They oppose them because they don't know anything about them. No, it's more than ironic--it's dishonest. In "An Inconvenient Truth," Al Gore lifts the "seven-wedge" approach to global warming from Robert Socolow, director of the Carbon Mitigation Initiative at Princeton. Mr. Socolow's main "wedges" are efficiency, conservation, fuel switching, renewables, carbon sequestration, reforestation—and "nuclear fission." Mr. Gore conveniently leaves nuclear out, an inconvenient truth. There have been theoretical studies involving the use of Tokamak fusion reactors being doped by small amounts of "minor" transuranic atoms that could be transmuted into lighter elements in the reactor, which would be used to create mass amounts of energy. Another option is to find applications of the nuclear waste, so we can reuse them. Already, cesium-137, strontium-90, and technetium-99 are extracted for use in radioisotope thermoelectric generator (the miniscule powerplants used for spacecraft) and food irradiation, to clean our food. Some people also object to this, but being scared of this is like being scared of soap, or heat, or UV-treatment. Of course it can kill bacteria, but we aren't bacteria, we are big strong humans. Humans, the toughest bastards on the planet (go humans!). Almost nothing can kill us everytime, not even a gunshot to the head, and if we had to, we could kill anything. The French and the Japanese are already way ahead of the USA in nuclear power. Like much of Europe, France produces 80% of its power by nuclear fission reactors. There is even talk of giving small, unhackable nuclear power plants to third world and second world countries: a form of economic aid, like building bridges or highways. All the benefits of cheap power for hungry growing economies, none of the geopolitical headaches of scary governments splitting the atom for who knows what purpose by themselves in secret. Many of the ideas coming from the West right now for dealing with Iran's nuclear ambitions center around variations of this idea: tying Iran's fuel supply to Western or Russian sources. You can't relate nuclear power to nuclear weapons like that. Nuclear power is used to produce electrical energy for healthy distribution, thermonuclear weapons are used to kill people, and to allow us speak softly while carrying a very very very big stick. Sorry for any insensitivity. Swimmer are you? I know a few swimmers that swim a few hours a day. I can't swim!

I disagree. The former is presented in an objective manner. I support the Reference Desks as objectively informative rather than providing a forum for speculative discourse. Further note: In previous discussions on removing vs. restoring comments on possibly "taboo" topics, I've gone on record as an "inclusivist" when it comes to what gets asked, because I think it's important for the lurking readers who've come to learn something on other people's queries. Where I would hold back is related to "prevailing community standards" that function in electronic communications venues as well as in Real Life. -- Hope that helps, Deborahjay 00:05, 27 March 2007 (UTC) TfD nomination of Template:Uganda topics[edit]Template:Uganda topics has been nominated for deletion.

Come check it out! Here!. Nominaladversary 03:36, 9 April 2007 (UTC) The rabbit[edit]Hi. I don't believe I understand your edit to Sumatran Striped Rabbit. I mean, it did have a source, and if the source says "may be" (I'm not sure if it does or not), why can't the article say that? Does even sourced info have to be 100% certain before it can be in an article? Should it be replaced by "probably" or the like? It there a policy that says sourced info must be certain? Still, wouldn't that be removing info from the article? Sorry if I sound like I'm conplaining, but please explain if possible. Thanks. – AstroHurricane001(Talk+Contribs+Ubx)(+sign here+How's my editing?) 00:07, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
