Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I'm sorry for doing this in this way... I'm a new Argentinian member of wikipedia and I don't know how to fix an error in one of its articles .. furthermore, my english is not the best..
Please, if you can edit "Helium".. it says :"the largest use (about 22% of the total in 2008) is in cryogenic applications" but there is a graphic that shows a cryogenic use of 32%... I don't know what's wrong. Thank you! SirLOGOS ( talk) 02:57, 2 July 2014 (UTC) |
You reverted 2 edits in the page Oommen Chandy. No content is added in the page but the category of Indian Christians is added. Is it necessary to give additional reference to add a category if there isn't any doubt. The person referred to in the article belongs to India and is a christian.

Hi, I am writing to ask for help on our Siberian Tiger article. 3 accounts, one registered and 2 IP addresses (one IP editor appears to relate to the registered one as they talked about the same Asian elephant article unrelated to Siberian tigers), continued to change the article to give readers a false impression that bears usually dominate tigers by selectively substituting or omitting the adverbs of frequency of occurrence and removing certain adjectives that define the conditions of the animals (e.g. age) from the sources. So common incidents became rare, rare incidents became common and incidents that have never happened appear to have happened after their problematic edits. Almost all existing sources in that article said otherwise (see talk). Also they gave undue weight to unimportant exceptional information about bears in the article. I raised that in talk but they don't listen. I just reached 3RR so would you please look into the issue and if possible put a semi-protection on it? I am one of the major contributors that work collaboratively to bring our tiger article into GA standard. Thanks! BigCat82 ( talk) 23:22, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

DMacks,
I was surprised to see you removed the reference to Volunteer Litter pickup in George Bush Park. This is not a promotion, my family adopted the buffalo bayou waterway in Bush Park over 4 years ago and are partnered with Harris County Commissioner Precinct 3 who maintains the park. We are the only entity performing clean-ups in this park and any interested individual or civic organization are referred directly to us by the Commissioner's office.

As far as most of us know, non-human animals don't seem to have spiritual lives, however many if not most humans are concious of a spiritual aspect to their lives. If I say "man is no more than an animal" then I think I am saying, I am not concious of the spiritual aspect of my life: in which case why even mention Spirituality under the heading of Naturist Ideals. If however I say "man is more than an animal" then I am saying humans do lead spiritual lives (unlike animals which as I said are not spiritual as far as we can tell). As wikipedians we should not be offering our own opinions on these matters, so it would be better is we could quote a source for these Naturist Ideals Wayne Jayes ( talk) 20:31, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
You are doing the World a great disservice by confusing the necessary benefits of Amygdalin (NOT to be confused with the similar synthetic chemical compound patented as Laetrile). Amygdalin is metabolized into three separate compounds, one of which is a cyanade free radical -CN which the body turns into Thiocyanate and is stored in the liver where it is picked up by white blood cells and turned into hypothiocyanate.
The lack of Thiocyanate in the human metabolic system results in Cystic Fibrosis! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.1.190.51 ( talk) 02:03, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

I was not attempting to vandalize the page. I wanted to clarify a common misconception concerning the hybridization of the cyclopropane carbons. The wikipedia article (as well as many things you find on the internet) would suggest that the hybridization is sp3, but due to the dramatic shift in bond angle and increase ring strain, you in all actually have a far higher contribution from the p orbitals, which the article somewhat vaguely alluded to. I added much more detailed reference to the structure and bonding of cyclopropane. The actual hybridization is sp5 (the ratio of s and p character) which can be determined by examine the coupling constants, and I further added a reference to Evan's physical organic chemistry slides that discusses this. I hope this clears everything up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.164.73.109 ( talk) 01:13, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for writing about this sort of topic! According to the chemistry set article, there were two different(?) companies with similar names ("Thomas Salter Science" and "Salters Science").

"Commonwealth of Kentucky" is indeed a common way to refer to the state when referring to it the first time in an article. Referring to it as a state later in the article would be fine. Your edit was basically on the level of something unnecessary and quasi-cosmetic on top of all this. The state is a Commonwealth. Articles should be educative. WP:SPADE does not apply.

The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.
If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room.
When: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Where: The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC

Seeing how you're a chemist that has a superior chemistry knowledge to me I was hoping for your help on the chirality of
File:S-fluoxetine-3D-balls.png. I was wondering if the phenyl ring has a higher priority than the ethyl(methyl)amine substituent according to the CIP rules. I think it does because on the carbon directly bonded to the chiral carbon, for the phenyl group it is bonded to carbons three times (counting twice for the single double bond connected to it as part of the phenyl ring) whereas on the ethyl(methyl)amine substituent it is joined to carbon once (which is the next carbon in this chain) and hydrogen twice. I ask because if this is true one would find that this molecule is in fact right-handed i.e., (R)-fluoxetine, not (S)-fluoxetine.

Hi DMacks,
Thank you for your direction to the conflict of interest and WP:Paid pages. I am being quite transparent about the fact I work for the company that Alon Shtruzman works for (hence offering my email address) so in that sense I am disclosing my "conflict of interest" to you. I would like there to be factual piece of information about the exec in question added to the site. I am more than happy for you to work on our proposed text so that it meets with your requirements in terms of impartiality. I can also provide back up information to prove any claims made within it, which mostly relate to Alon's career history.
Please can we have a dialogue about this and find a solution?
Thanks Laura

Hi DMacks,
I published an article "PDF file writer c# library" on Code Project website. The code is open source and it is totally free. It was published on April 1 2013. It won "Best overall article of April 2013" and "Best C# article of April 2013". It is rated 4.96 out of 5 by 202 members. It was viewed 250,000 times. The code was downloaded 45,000 times. You can view it
here.
I want to add it to "List of PDF Software", section Microsoft Windows, and subsection Development libraries on Wikipedia.
I tried three times yesterday without success. You block my account. I want to do it right this time.
Looking at other entries in this article they all consists of a link to an existing Wikipedia page about the product, a description and a reference. I think that my problem is that I do not have yet an entry in Wikipedia for my program. I wrote one but it will take more than a month to review. I cannot imagine that the description or the reference is the problem.
Can I make an entry in the List of PDF software without an article in Wikipedia?
Is there another reason why my entry was rejected?
Can you give me some guidance?

In my view, if someone posting the winner of a song contest early makes you think a semi-legal threat is appropriate, there is no reason you should be allowed anywhere near articles like where that editor was going. -- Ricky81682 ( talk) 07:38, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
Greetings!
Sorry for the last minute update, but our friends at the DC Historical Society have scheduled a Battle of Fort Stevens Edit-a-Thon to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War battle fought in the District. The event will last from noon to 2 PM on Wednesday, July 30. Hope you can make it!

Greetings DMacks,
I'm new to Wikipedia. I have edited many articles and I have recently created 3 articles Rashi Khanna, Naga Shourya and Akhil Akkineni. Today I was surprised to know that Naga Shourya and Akhil Akkineni pages are deleted. May I know the reason please.-- Limelight753 ( talk) 16:36, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
I'm just copying below what i got when i checked for Naga Shourya.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited ANA773, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Roche. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

As far as most of us know, non-human animals don't seem to have spiritual lives, however many if not most humans are concious of a spiritual aspect to their lives. If I say "man is no more than an animal" then I think I am saying, I am not concious of the spiritual aspect of my life: in which case why even mention Spirituality under the heading of Naturist Ideals. If however I say "man is more than an animal" then I am saying humans do lead spiritual lives (unlike animals which as I said are not spiritual as far as we can tell). As wikipedians we should not be offering our own opinions on these matters, so it would be better is we could quote a source for these Naturist Ideals Wayne Jayes ( talk) 20:31, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
You are doing the World a great disservice by confusing the necessary benefits of Amygdalin (NOT to be confused with the similar synthetic chemical compound patented as Laetrile). Amygdalin is metabolized into three separate compounds, one of which is a cyanade free radical -CN which the body turns into Thiocyanate and is stored in the liver where it is picked up by white blood cells and turned into hypothiocyanate.
The lack of Thiocyanate in the human metabolic system results in Cystic Fibrosis! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.1.190.51 ( talk) 02:03, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

I was not attempting to vandalize the page. I wanted to clarify a common misconception concerning the hybridization of the cyclopropane carbons. The wikipedia article (as well as many things you find on the internet) would suggest that the hybridization is sp3, but due to the dramatic shift in bond angle and increase ring strain, you in all actually have a far higher contribution from the p orbitals, which the article somewhat vaguely alluded to. I added much more detailed reference to the structure and bonding of cyclopropane. The actual hybridization is sp5 (the ratio of s and p character) which can be determined by examine the coupling constants, and I further added a reference to Evan's physical organic chemistry slides that discusses this. I hope this clears everything up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.164.73.109 ( talk) 01:13, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for writing about this sort of topic! According to the chemistry set article, there were two different(?) companies with similar names ("Thomas Salter Science" and "Salters Science"). Do you know the relationship or timeline of them (was it one company that changed its name, or two chosen similar in order to compete, or...)? DMacks ( talk) 07:22, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
Look, please don't change TW's main page. First TW's is actor first and director and film producer. What is your issue? Sincerely, RR
"Commonwealth of Kentucky" is indeed a common way to refer to the state when referring to it the first time in an article. Referring to it as a state later in the article would be fine. Your edit was basically on the level of something unnecessary and quasi-cosmetic on top of all this. The state is a Commonwealth. Articles should be educative. WP:SPADE does not apply.

The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.
If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room.
When: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Where: The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC

Seeing how you're a chemist that has a superior chemistry knowledge to me I was hoping for your help on the chirality of
File:S-fluoxetine-3D-balls.png. I was wondering if the phenyl ring has a higher priority than the ethyl(methyl)amine substituent according to the CIP rules. I think it does because on the carbon directly bonded to the chiral carbon, for the phenyl group it is bonded to carbons three times (counting twice for the single double bond connected to it as part of the phenyl ring) whereas on the ethyl(methyl)amine substituent it is joined to carbon once (which is the next carbon in this chain) and hydrogen twice. I ask because if this is true one would find that this molecule is in fact right-handed i.e., (R)-fluoxetine, not (S)-fluoxetine.

Hi DMacks,
Thank you for your direction to the conflict of interest and WP:Paid pages. I am being quite transparent about the fact I work for the company that Alon Shtruzman works for (hence offering my email address) so in that sense I am disclosing my "conflict of interest" to you. I would like there to be factual piece of information about the exec in question added to the site. I am more than happy for you to work on our proposed text so that it meets with your requirements in terms of impartiality. I can also provide back up information to prove any claims made within it, which mostly relate to Alon's career history.
Please can we have a dialogue about this and find a solution?
Thanks Laura

Hi DMacks,
I published an article "PDF file writer c# library" on Code Project website. The code is open source and it is totally free. It was published on April 1 2013. It won "Best overall article of April 2013" and "Best C# article of April 2013". It is rated 4.96 out of 5 by 202 members. It was viewed 250,000 times. The code was downloaded 45,000 times. You can view it
here.
I want to add it to "List of PDF Software", section Microsoft Windows, and subsection Development libraries on Wikipedia.
I tried three times yesterday without success. You block my account. I want to do it right this time.
Looking at other entries in this article they all consists of a link to an existing Wikipedia page about the product, a description and a reference. I think that my problem is that I do not have yet an entry in Wikipedia for my program. I wrote one but it will take more than a month to review. I cannot imagine that the description or the reference is the problem.
Can I make an entry in the List of PDF software without an article in Wikipedia?
Is there another reason why my entry was rejected?
Can you give me some guidance?
Thanks, Uzi Granot UGranot ( talk) 18:52, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
I'm sorry you feel the link is spam. Wikipedia is a collection of facts and links to related content should be included. Preventing access to free energy and HHO research will not stop it from getting to the public, rather it will serve to speed up the desire to obtain information about this new technology. All funds from the website listed go into Stan Meyer research, it is not a spam link and directly relates to the Stan Meyer fuel cell. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Waterpros ( talk • contribs) 04:02, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
