Hi! As somebody who commented on a January proposal to place all articles related to homeopathy on article probation, I would greatly appreciate your input on a new proposal to help combat disruption that would scrap the probation and implement discretionary sanctions. I apologize for any intrusion, but this is to my knowledge the first time sanctions of this nature have been attempted to be enforced by the community, so I feel that a wide range of opinions is necessary. Thank you in advance for any comments you may make. east718 ( talk) 19:00, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
You commented on my talk page "So?"
"Dealing eleven identical hands in a row wouuld exceed Dembski's Universal probability bound." Obviously probability is not one of your strong points. •Jim62sch• 23:50, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
In response:
In the real world it is sometimes much harder to say what the laws of probability predict than in a coin-flipping experiment; thus here it may be even harder to define and measure order, but sometimes it is easy. In any case, with 1023 molecules in a mole of anything, we can be confident that the laws of probability at the microscopic level will be obeyed (at least on planets without life) as they apply to all macroscopic phenomena; this is precisely the assumption---the only common thread---behind all applications of the second law. Everything the second law predicts, it predicts with such high probability that it is as reliable as any other law of science---tossing a billion heads in a row is child's play compared to appreciably violating the second law in any application. One critic [Jason Rosenhouse, "How Anti-Evolutionists Abuse Mathematics," The Mathematical Intelligencer 23 , number 4, 3-8, 2001] wrote "His claim that 'natural forces do not cause extremely improbable things to happen' is pure gibberish. Does Sewell invoke supernatural forces to explain the winning numbers in last night's lottery?" But getting the right number on 5 or 6 balls is not extremely improbable, in thermodynamics "extremely improbable" events involve getting the "right number" on 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 or so balls! If every atom on Earth bought one ticket every second since the big bang (about 10^70 tickets) there is virtually no chance than any would ever win even a 100-ball lottery, much less this one. And since the second law derives its authority from logic alone, and thus cannot be overturned by future discoveries, Sir Arthur Eddington called it the "supreme" law of Nature [The Nature of the Physical World, McMillan, 1929].

The Russian author Alexey Melkikh critiques evolution in INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF ELEMENTARY PARTICLE AND POSSIBLE DETERMINISTIC MECHANISM OF BIOLOGICAL EVOLUTION Alexey V. Melkikh, (Ural state technical university, Molecular physics chair,) Entropy 2004, 6, 223–232
It was shown that the probability of new species formation by means of random mutations is negligibly small. . . . The problem is that the Darwin mechanism of the evolution (a random process) cannot explain the known rate of the species evolution. In accordance with the very first estimates, the total number of possible combinations of nucleotides in the DNA is about 4^(2×10^9) (because four types of nucleotides are available, while the number of nucleotides in the DNA of higher organisms is about 2×10^9). . . . Thus, finally we have P = 10^57000000. This figure is vanishingly small. Therefore, a conclusion may be drawn that species could not be formed due to random mutations.
If a molecular machine, which controls the evolution (with reference samples assigned a priori as thermodynamic forces), does not exist, then the Darwin evolution contradicts to the second law, since it represents a macroscopically oriented (from the simple to the complex) fluctuation.
Perhaps you could write a formal rebuttal to Melkikkh for publication in that peer reviewed journal Entropy on how neo-Darwinian evolution or the Origin of Life can be explained by the probability of selecting less than eleven prescribed card hands in a row! DLH ( talk) 15:00, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
I will note that this seems somewhat confused. The real mathematicians on which Dembski has based his work have reviewed it and stated that Dembski's work is complete nonsense and replete with errors. Also, numerical simulations of evolution seem to work fine; how could that be if they are so flawed and speciation is such an improbable event? In fact, many numerical techniques for solving engineering and applied mathematics problems are quite close to natural selection. If it is such a worthless principle, why is it useful for solving problems? How do you explain Prigogine's Nobel Prize by the way? And all the tens of thousands of professional thermodynamicists who seem to have no problem with the 2nd law and life?--

This is getting off-topic for AN/I, but what I said there is not relativism. I said: there's a difference between what I wouldn't do, and what I consider it unacceptable for others to do.
I would never order grapefruit juice with breakfast - it's disgusting to me. I would not support a law that others may not order grapefruit juice with breakfast. There are many social interactions that I would personally avoid, which I don't think it's wrong for others to pursue. There are ways that I would not put arguments, which I still think it's okay for others to articulate. I wouldn't sleep with your wife; I think it's just fine if you do.
If I left Wikipedia, I probably would do so quietly, but that doesn't mean that nobody can leave a statement explaining why they left.

"In most cases" means in all cases where this list is linked in the text of a BLP ... Go to Category:Signatories of "A Scientific Dissent From Darwinism" and start clicking. I will copy here the wording used for the BLPs in which the petition is mentioned in the entry itself so you get an idea (Note that a vast majority only provide a category at the bottom and make no mention in the main entry):
As you can see in no other BLP do we claim that the "petition promotes intelligent design." The closest to this entry is that of James Tour, and even there it says that the petition "has been used to promote intelligent design." So where exactly do I have to run around changing things? PelleSmith ( talk) 12:57, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
The diff you posted on the arbitration committee page was your evidence of Cla passing himself off as an admin. I read it completely differently. He wrote, "...that uninvolved editors and admins like me have noticed...". You read this as meaning he was an admin: "that [uninvolved editors] and [admins like me] have noticed..." I read the subject of the sentence differently. More like "...that [uninvolved editors and admins] like me have noticed..." Meaning he's part of a group of uninvolved editors, some of which are admins, that have noticed a problem. Maybe he was missing a comma or two. I understand what I'm saying may not be clear, although I hope it is. Thanks, Jimbo. --

Hey there, I found your name under the category "Wikipedians who speak Latin". Anyway, I am in the process of working on an article about the Pont Notre-Dame in Paris. There is an inscription from Sannazaro under one of the bridges arches which reads: Jucundus geminos posuit tibi, Sequana, pontes Hune tu jure potes dicere pontificem See here and here for the original source.
Anyway, I don't speak Latin and cannot for the life of me figure it out...I was wondering if you could give me a translation if you have the time? Thanks much! 00:44, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
In case you did not see it, Jim, I left you this earlier: [3] Hope you see and enjoy it, cheers :-) Peter morrell 21:00, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Not funny, inflammatory, trolling. And having the chutzpah to post a link to my page. Shameless. Just because of that I will resume editing these articles. Happy editing. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 00:21, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi there, I see that you translate from Latin to English and was wondering if you could help me out with translating a motto whenever you have time. What do you make of "Nulli Expugnabilis Hosti"? Thanks. -- Gibmetal 77 talk 15:09, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

You should try to avoid using obscene language in your comments. Not everyone cares to read offensive language. These posting are available to the whole world, including children. -- Jagz ( talk) 10:07, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Jim, I'm not entirely sure what you meant by the question regarding "in most cases," but I wanted to clarify my point. I posted the following on the entry talk page. Regards. PelleSmith ( talk) 13:37, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
"In most cases" means in all cases where this list is linked in the text of a BLP ... Go to Category:Signatories of "A Scientific Dissent From Darwinism" and start clicking. I will copy here the wording used for the BLPs in which the petition is mentioned in the entry itself so you get an idea (Note that a vast majority only provide a category at the bottom and make no mention in the main entry):
As you can see in no other BLP do we claim that the "petition promotes intelligent design." The closest to this entry is that of James Tour, and even there it says that the petition "has been used to promote intelligent design." So where exactly do I have to run around changing things?

The diff you posted on the arbitration committee page was your evidence of Cla passing himself off as an admin. I read it completely differently. He wrote, "...that uninvolved editors and admins like me have noticed...". You read this as meaning he was an admin: "that [uninvolved editors] and [admins like me] have noticed..." I read the subject of the sentence differently. More like "...that [uninvolved editors and admins] like me have noticed..." Meaning he's part of a group of uninvolved editors, some of which are admins, that have noticed a problem. Maybe he was missing a comma or two. I understand what I'm saying may not be clear, although I hope it is. Thanks, Jimbo. --

[6] Is what I wanted to hear, and I'm glad to see it, we all get frustrated, I know more then anyone what that's about. As I keep saying, (but no one seems to believe me), I just wanted the attacks and the insults to stop, and your posting this goes a long way towards easing my concerns. SirFozzie ( talk) 22:21, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Here's your official warning. Stop the personal attacks. Consider this a final warning - if you feel you need secondary and tertiary warnings, that's your opinion. My opinion is that you've exhausted your privileges. Tan | 39 02:12, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi Jim, I don't regularly visit Intelligent design but noticed that some of your comments there were a little more sarcastic than necessary. That topic can get combative at times, so best not to turn up the temperature. Stay cool, man -- you'll score more points in the long run that way. Raymond Arritt 03:03, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
I just noticed your helpful edits [7] to the Guadalcanal Campaign article. I appreciate that. Cla68 ( talk) 02:38, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

I have nominated Noah's Ark for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. -- Vassyana ( talk) 15:35, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
Hi Jim. When you make reversions like this one to good faith edits, could you try to explain your reasons in the edit summary? I was trying to make the lead of Physics a little less wordy so it would read better, but if I cut something you think is important, maybe we can find a compromise. I don't want to let our past disagreements over the creation-evolution articles spill over to unrelated areas. Gnixon 18:32, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
The edit that you reverted rearranged topic order, added acupuncture, and separated phrenology from alchemy. I placed a talk page comment on each of the changes, and they were very minor. What is the complaint? Aside from adding acupuncture, these are not major changes. Likebox ( talk) 17:13, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
