Re: File:Drug_circle.gif - "My diagram of different drugs / I (Nasa-verve) created this work entirely by myself."
I am a little surprised that this diagram that you created entirely by yourself is so strikingly similar to this chart: User_talk:Thoric#Psychoactive_Drug_Chart. Perhaps more accurate is that your diagram is based upon mine? -- Thoric ( talk) 19:55, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
Thoric's diagram was removed from psychoactive drug per the discussion here. The same problems would, unfortunately, seem to apply to File:Drug circle.gif, and I don't think its inclusion in pharmacology, stimulant, sedative, depressant, drug, or psychedelics, dissociatives and deliriants is justified. Also, it is a classification of psychoactive drugs only, not all drugs (as implied by its use in 'pharmacology' and 'drug'). Let me know what you think. – Acdx ( talk) 00:33, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi,
As you have shown an interest in the subject in the past, I was hoping you could comment on the current discussion at Talk:MTV Generation. I am hoping to finally settle the validity of the topic of the MTV Generation for Wikipedia. There have been two previous nominations for deletion, here, and here.
Those discussions chose to keep the article, with the caveat that the article would have to be "cleaned up" and purged of original research. Coming up to four years after the original request for deletion, I see little evidence that this has been accomplished. The article is still rife with unsourced claims and speculation. MTV Generation is a term in use around the internet, but it is "not clearly definable, and has different meanings to different people," wikipedia's own description of a neologism, which it clearly says are to be avoided.
Based on my search of available internet sources, I cannot find any single authoritative definition of the term. I believe that the article currently fails WP:NEO. To quote: "To support the use of (or an article about) a particular term we must cite reliable secondary sources such as books and papers about the term—not books and papers that use the term. (Note that wikis such as Wiktionary are not considered to be a reliable source for this purpose.)
Neologisms that are in wide use—but for which there are no treatments in secondary sources—are not yet ready for use and coverage in Wikipedia. They may be in time, but not yet. The term does not need to be in Wikipedia in order to be a "true" term, and when secondary sources become available, it will be appropriate to create an article on the topic or use the term within other articles."
I have no axe to grind against this term, but I think it is high time that we included some actual sources to support its claims. I have made an honest effort to find some, that talk about the term MTV Generation, rather than simply mentioning it, but have failed to do so. If you can find some I would really appreciate if you could present some, as I would like to settle this issue soon. Otherwise, if you could simply comment on the potential for this article I would be grateful. Thank you very much.

I see you put a standard infobox into Moomin in place of the non-standard one that was there, and I thought I would let you know why the non-standard box was there. There was some time ago a spate of repeatedly replacing correct references to Swedish by incorrect references to Finnish. At least some of the changes were made by an editor whose edit history elsewhere shows Finnish-nationalist and anti-Swedish tendencies. A suggestion was made that this disruptive editing might stop if the Finnish translation were given some prominence. The standard infobox does not, as far as I know, have any facility for listing translations into two different languages, so a custom-made box was used. I never liked the custom box, and I also never liked the idea of giving special attention to the Finnish translation, which is no more significant than translations into any other language. Nevertheless, since the custom box was put in place the disruption does not seem to have continued. I propose to leave the (much better) infobox you have substituted for the time being, but if the trouble starts again I shall restore the custom box. JamesBWatson ( talk) 12:44, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:General Dynamics Logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk) 04:12, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on File:Laser-mic-diagram.gif requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. —/

You, and your alter-ego, Jonverve appear to have done most of the editing on the List of United States airmail stamps. We recently had some discussion here on the use of stamp catalog numbers, such as Scott or Stanley Gibbons numbers and the possible overuse that could be construed as copyright violations. This article was specifically mentioned and I had a look at it with the view of removing all the Scott numbers but due to the complex table formatting, and additional information under each Scott number, I though I would ask you to remove them instead of my messing up the tables or removing too much text.

Back in April 2011 I removed all the Scott numbers that you had added to List of United States airmail stamps following the consensus reached at the discussion about the extensive use of copyright numbering system as a copyright violation, but with this edit a few months ago, described in your edit summary as general cleanup, you added them all back appears to ignore the consensus on the matter. I removed them again today, so please do not readd them.

Hi Nasa-verve, thanks for taking an interest in the article on the Tower of London. I wondered if you might reconsider using an infobox. They can be useful, but for a building of this type with such a complex history I'm not sure it can be condensed into a handful of infobox fields. The Tower's history goes back 950 years, with regular additions, renovations, and remodelling from its foundation until the modern period, so saying it was built in the Middle Ages doesn't tell the full story. Similarly, there are many architectural styles involved and to describe a structure built in the Middle Ages as an example of the Gothic revival is conflicting as it was only developed in the 18th century.
Then we have information on the Tower as a World Heritage Site. The field for criteria aren't particularly helpful as there is no explanation what they relate to. The fact it's a cultural site isn't particularly informative to someone coming to the article for the first time. Arguably it's worth including the year it was designated, but when writing the article that information was not considered important enough for the lead (though is in the main body of the article) so I'm not sure highlighting it in the infobox is worth the trouble. While the articles on the Palace of Westminster and St Margret's Westminster carry the same infobox, I would argue that they are similarly uninformative.
I'd like to remove the infobox because I think it ultimately oversimplifies things and promotes information which is not important enough to be at the top of the article, but I don't want to get into an edit war about this. There are some useful infoboxes out there, but the World Heritage Site one is amongst the least useful, and overall I don't think a building with as complex a history as the Tower can be satisfactorily reduced to the size of an infobox. What do you think? Nev1 ( talk) 18:29, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

File:Second-reality-screen.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a
claim of fair use. However, it is currently
orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed.
You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see
our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Werieth ( talk) 05:40, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Colleen Hartman, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page New Frontiers ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Dear Nasa-verve,
Thank you for doing a bunch of work making the Wikipedia better.
I'm a little confused about one recent edit: I see you slapped a bunch of {{ fact}} tags on the " line code" article.
Most Wikipedians use that particular tag when they find a statement so surprising that they suspect it is not true.
It seems to me that those sentences simply summarize the definition of channel (communications) and DC-balanced from the corresponding articles.
Do you think the definition in those other articles also incorrect? Or do you think their definitions are correct, but the line code article doesn't correctly summarize them?
Or have I completely misinterpreted what you meant by those {{ fact}} tags? -- DavidCary ( talk) 16:55, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
<ref>
tag and immediately before each </ref>
tag that I add to an article. I see that many people delete those carriage returns -- such as in the edit you pointed out.Is under a self-requested block until about June 18th. See User:Second Quantization Cheers Jim1138 ( talk) 21:14, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Finder (software) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Werieth ( talk) 13:49, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I saw that you

Re: File:Drug_circle.gif - "My diagram of different drugs / I (Nasa-verve) created this work entirely by myself."
I am a little surprised that this diagram that you created entirely by yourself is so strikingly similar to this chart: User_talk:Thoric#Psychoactive_Drug_Chart. Perhaps more accurate is that your diagram is based upon mine? -- Thoric ( talk) 19:55, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
Thoric's diagram was removed from psychoactive drug per the discussion here. The same problems would, unfortunately, seem to apply to File:Drug circle.gif, and I don't think its inclusion in pharmacology, stimulant, sedative, depressant, drug, or psychedelics, dissociatives and deliriants is justified. Also, it is a classification of psychoactive drugs only, not all drugs (as implied by its use in 'pharmacology' and 'drug'). Let me know what you think. – Acdx ( talk) 00:33, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi,
As you have shown an interest in the subject in the past, I was hoping you could comment on the current discussion at Talk:MTV Generation. I am hoping to finally settle the validity of the topic of the MTV Generation for Wikipedia. There have been two previous nominations for deletion, here, and here.
Those discussions chose to keep the article, with the caveat that the article would have to be "cleaned up" and purged of original research. Coming up to four years after the original request for deletion, I see little evidence that this has been accomplished. The article is still rife with unsourced claims and speculation. MTV Generation is a term in use around the internet, but it is "not clearly definable, and has different meanings to different people," wikipedia's own description of a neologism, which it clearly says are to be avoided.
Based on my search of available internet sources, I cannot find any single authoritative definition of the term. I believe that the article currently fails WP:NEO. To quote: "To support the use of (or an article about) a particular term we must cite reliable secondary sources such as books and papers about the term—not books and papers that use the term. (Note that wikis such as Wiktionary are not considered to be a reliable source for this purpose.)
Neologisms that are in wide use—but for which there are no treatments in secondary sources—are not yet ready for use and coverage in Wikipedia. They may be in time, but not yet. The term does not need to be in Wikipedia in order to be a "true" term, and when secondary sources become available, it will be appropriate to create an article on the topic or use the term within other articles."
I have no axe to grind against this term, but I think it is high time that we included some actual sources to support its claims. I have made an honest effort to find some, that talk about the term MTV Generation, rather than simply mentioning it, but have failed to do so. If you can find some I would really appreciate if you could present some, as I would like to settle this issue soon. Otherwise, if you could simply comment on the potential for this article I would be grateful. Thank you very much.

I see you put a standard infobox into Moomin in place of the non-standard one that was there, and I thought I would let you know why the non-standard box was there. There was some time ago a spate of repeatedly replacing correct references to Swedish by incorrect references to Finnish. At least some of the changes were made by an editor whose edit history elsewhere shows Finnish-nationalist and anti-Swedish tendencies. A suggestion was made that this disruptive editing might stop if the Finnish translation were given some prominence. The standard infobox does not, as far as I know, have any facility for listing translations into two different languages, so a custom-made box was used. I never liked the custom box, and I also never liked the idea of giving special attention to the Finnish translation, which is no more significant than translations into any other language. Nevertheless, since the custom box was put in place the disruption does not seem to have continued. I propose to leave the (much better) infobox you have substituted for the time being, but if the trouble starts again I shall restore the custom box. JamesBWatson ( talk) 12:44, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on File:Laser-mic-diagram.gif requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. —/

You, and your alter-ego, Jonverve appear to have done most of the editing on the List of United States airmail stamps. We recently had some discussion here on the use of stamp catalog numbers, such as Scott or Stanley Gibbons numbers and the possible overuse that could be construed as copyright violations. This article was specifically mentioned and I had a look at it with the view of removing all the Scott numbers but due to the complex table formatting, and additional information under each Scott number, I though I would ask you to remove them instead of my messing up the tables or removing too much text.

A tag has been placed on Dynamism (company) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

Hi, could you please delete or otherwise cleanup User:Nasa-verve/Template:HD 128311/doc/doc? It appears to be unused, and is cluttering up Category:Documentation subpages without corresponding pages. Thanks. Revent ( talk) 21:28, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
Back in April 2011 I removed all the Scott numbers that you had added to List of United States airmail stamps following the consensus reached at the discussion about the extensive use of copyright numbering system as a copyright violation, but with this edit a few months ago, described in your edit summary as general cleanup, you added them all back appears to ignore the consensus on the matter. I removed them again today, so please do not readd them. You are of course welcome to improve the list in other ways like cleaning up the other details that are still in the column you used for the Scott numbers. Please refer to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Philately/Archive 8#Catalog numbers as references. We don not accept copyright violations and the opinion of Moonriddengirl, who is one of Wikipedia's most experienced copyright experts should be enough for you. Good luck. ww2censor ( talk) 15:04, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited V. Trygve Jordahl, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Luther College and Evangelical Lutheran Church ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Hi Nasa-verve, thanks for taking an interest in the article on the Tower of London. I wondered if you might reconsider using an infobox. They can be useful, but for a building of this type with such a complex history I'm not sure it can be condensed into a handful of infobox fields. The Tower's history goes back 950 years, with regular additions, renovations, and remodelling from its foundation until the modern period, so saying it was built in the Middle Ages doesn't tell the full story. Similarly, there are many architectural styles involved and to describe a structure built in the Middle Ages as an example of the Gothic revival is conflicting as it was only developed in the 18th century.
Then we have information on the Tower as a World Heritage Site. The field for criteria aren't particularly helpful as there is no explanation what they relate to. The fact it's a cultural site isn't particularly informative to someone coming to the article for the first time. Arguably it's worth including the year it was designated, but when writing the article that information was not considered important enough for the lead (though is in the main body of the article) so I'm not sure highlighting it in the infobox is worth the trouble. While the articles on the Palace of Westminster and St Margret's Westminster carry the same infobox, I would argue that they are similarly uninformative.
I'd like to remove the infobox because I think it ultimately oversimplifies things and promotes information which is not important enough to be at the top of the article, but I don't want to get into an edit war about this. There are some useful infoboxes out there, but the World Heritage Site one is amongst the least useful, and overall I don't think a building with as complex a history as the Tower can be satisfactorily reduced to the size of an infobox. What do you think? Nev1 ( talk) 18:29, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see
our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

Looks like there were a few careless mistakes in edits where good images were removed along with deleted image comments. See this link. Please do not remove the following files, all of which you tagged with {{ di-orphaned fair use}} which no longer applies.

Dear Nasa-verve,
Thank you for doing a bunch of work making the Wikipedia better.
I'm a little confused about one recent edit: I see you slapped a bunch of {{ fact}} tags on the " line code" article.
Most Wikipedians use that particular tag when they find a statement so surprising that they suspect it is not true.
It seems to me that those sentences simply summarize the definition of channel (communications) and DC-balanced from the corresponding articles.
Do you think the definition in those other articles also incorrect? Or do you think their definitions are correct, but the line code article doesn't correctly summarize them?
Or have I completely misinterpreted what you meant by those {{ fact}} tags? -- DavidCary ( talk) 16:55, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
<ref>
tag and immediately before each </ref>
tag that I add to an article. I see that many people delete those carriage returns -- such as in the edit you pointed out.Is under a self-requested block until about June 18th. See User:Second Quantization Cheers Jim1138 ( talk) 21:14, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Finder (software) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Werieth ( talk) 13:49, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I saw that you
recently tagged
Semnul Rabia for speedy deletion under criteria
G1. However, this criteria (Patent nonsense) does not apply to non-English content: This excludes poor writing, partisan screeds, obscene remarks, implausible theories,
vandalism and
hoaxes, fictional material, coherent
non-English material, and
poorly translated material.
I have instead tagged the page for deletion under
A10 as a duplicate of
Rabia sign. Thank you.
