I know that this ought to be called Ellsworth's Paradox, but I'm hopelessly a humble pote, so I fall easy prey to an alliterative title.
This paradox is basically another form of Zeno's paradoxes. It has to do with, not just motion, but our "living movement", or in other words, our "motion through life". It divides time in much the same way that Zeno divided space in his "Achilles and the Tortoise Paradox".
“ | We are all born* into life at some moment or point in time. Then at another later moment, or another later point in time, we all seemingly lose our lives and become forever motionless.
Each and every day, every hour, minute, second, we approach nearer and nearer to that motionless point in time. Now each of our lives, our living-motion periods, can be halved, so that if we were able to know when that final breathless moment is supposed to take place, we would know the precise moment when we are halfway there. We each live to this halfway point in time, and then we continue on. At some point we come upon the moment that is exactly halfway between the middle of our lives and the end, and in a like manner we must always reach a point in time that is halfway between the previous halfway mark and the motionless end of our lives. Since there is always a new halfway point to live to, then there is no possible way we can ever arrive at the end. There is an infinity of new halfway points that we must continue on to, and therefore: We cannot die! It is impossible for us to ever reach that motionless point in time. Death is therefore an illusion, an impossibility. This proves that we are, all of us, immortal beings. |

If motion is impossible, then what about the flow of time? Excellent observation. :) Regrettably, your argument also means that we have never been born. ;) Paradoctor ( talk) 12:07, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I have figured out that the problem is with this template. Because the command at the end to add a hidden category to the article page is not within the <div></div>
tags, this causes the indent-following on any article page that begins with a
Wikilink. So the </div>
has to be moved to after that hidden category command. I have done this in the {{
Expand list/sandbox}}, so the code from that page can just be copied and pasted to the main template page. (The /doc page is included, and I've added the colon to indent the template as seen on the {{

The multiple images of the character do not convey any significant information. We need one image for the infobox, that's it. You can undo the change again, but I'll nominate them for deletion.

You might get a better response next time if you adopt a more conciliatory tone. Your posts on the Tesla talk page appear to be full of veiled accusations, whether intended or not. Your dismissive use of "overzealous Tesla fan" prohibits any argument, those not agreeing with you are only doing so because they are "overzealous" and can thus be ignored.
Why was it necessary to issue this warning "So please discuss it here and let's resolve this before reverting again"? implying, as it does, that you had already been repeatedly reverted. This was not happening, I personally had no intention of reverting you. Let me draw your attention to WP:BRD, if we follow that principle, you should have gone to talk on being first reverted. The fact that you chose to make the edit again without discussing first means that it was you who was on the edge of edit warring.
"If a RS can be found that tells us that Tesla was a most important "player", then the claim can stand as is." This would seem to have been a bad faith offer, you did not really mean it. Having gone to the effort of finding sources I then find that you dismiss them all as "I consider the book cited above and pretty much all of the links in the Google search to be fan-tainted". There are 512 results in that search, did you really look at them all, or are you, as I suspect, just dismissing them out of hand? What criteria are you applying to test for "fan-taintedness"? Do you have a reliable source which says Cheney has written an overzealous book? Did you ask at WP:RSN to get an informed opinion? Frankly, I don't believe you did any of this; of course you didn't, that would involve some real footwork. This would all have been rather less annoying if you had been honest up front and simply stated you were absolutely against the current article wording. If I had not thought you were open to persuasion, I would not have gone to the effort of finding sources and you owe me an apology for your gratuitous waste of my time.
You do realise that the Cheney book is already being used as a reference for the article and if this book is suspect then a lot more needs careful examination in this article than whether Tesla is "one of the most important" of just "an important" contributor. Are you going to check out the passages using Cheney as reference for "fan-taintedness"? I doubt it, any real work does not seem to be your forte, much easier just to decorate the articles with ugly {{
fact}} tags.

Hi,
I'm looking at a page of yours from 2009, that refers to Dell Publishing, Murphy Books.
I have naturally never heard of Murphy or of Dell being part of it.
When I run a websearch, I get only one hit, this page.
So I go in to blow away the IP vandal, actual surname Murphy, and I find you wrote that.
So, whuzzup with the Murphy business?

Keep. Please forgive me, because I find this to be a very useful reference, and I fail to understand how anyone can make such a sweeping statement as "Unused" without actually knowing if it really is unused. Seems like I'm always coming across REDIRECTs that need Rcats, and if I'm not certain which Rcat(s) is appropriate, I go directly to {{ R from}}, which redirects to {{ R help}}, to find out. I view this reference as a handy shortcut for Wikipedia:Template messages/Redirect pages, and this is why editor Dispenser created this page in the first place. His creation comment back in 2008 was "Should've created this a long time ago, would've made searching for the template much easier." Happiest of holidays to you all! — Paine ( Ellsworth's Climax) 03:41, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
In case I somehow misinterpreted you and you've somehow misinterpreted me: I took your comment negatively because, rather than answering my question, you seemed to indicate the answer was so obvious that I should have known it by reading a a low-level tutorial page. But maybe I rushed to judgment, and you thought you were answering my question. Or maybe you thought I wasn't asking genuinely. I don't know everything, and I expect sometimes you will know things that I don't. I hope you'll bear with me and help me by explaining them.
In any event, I do want to say that I don't by any means discard your answers; in fact, I listen very carefully to them, and learn from them. (For example, our discussion about R Help has made me realize that the corss-namespace redirect guidelines need improvement.) And I never discount someone with whom I disagree civilly in one discussion in all others. That wouldn't assume good faith, and it wouldn't be wise, because people who engage with me on the issues on which I work are often very thoughtful. I hope you won't ever think it not worthwhile to discuss something with me. If I can't change that, let me know, and I'll try to avoid prompting you. -- Bsherr ( talk) 15:21, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
Paine, I'm not your pupil. We're all equals on Wikipedia. I expect you may think the way you choose to "educate" is fine, but I feel it demeans its recipient by suggesting he or she is wrong for asking questions because, if he or she had only thought about it more, he or she would realize it's a stupid question. I hope you'll reflect on whether you think you'd be grateful to be responded to in the way you respond to me. If, upon reflection, you understand why I might believe that, and decide that it's better to talk in a direct and forthright way, I am willing to be approached. But it's unfair to criticise someone as being unwilling to listen when, actually, the person is only unwilling to be demeaned. I'm here and at TfD if you change your mind. -- Bsherr ( talk) 18:39, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
I undid your edit to the move request at Template:R help. {{ Requested move}} should be substituted, and was. It produces a transclusion of {{ Movereq}}. Your edit mistakenly substituted that. -- Bsherr ( talk) 16:34, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

This wasn't a capricious editorial decision because I didn't like the images, I was following policy. AniMate 06:05, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

You might get a better response next time if you adopt a more conciliatory tone. Your posts on the Tesla talk page appear to be full of veiled accusations, whether intended or not. Your dismissive use of "overzealous Tesla fan" prohibits any argument, those not agreeing with you are only doing so because they are "overzealous" and can thus be ignored.
Why was it necessary to issue this warning "So please discuss it here and let's resolve this before reverting again"? implying, as it does, that you had already been repeatedly reverted. This was not happening, I personally had no intention of reverting you. Let me draw your attention to WP:BRD, if we follow that principle, you should have gone to talk on being first reverted. The fact that you chose to make the edit again without discussing first means that it was you who was on the edge of edit warring.
"If a RS can be found that tells us that Tesla was a most important "player", then the claim can stand as is." This would seem to have been a bad faith offer, you did not really mean it. Having gone to the effort of finding sources I then find that you dismiss them all as "I consider the book cited above and pretty much all of the links in the Google search to be fan-tainted". There are 512 results in that search, did you really look at them all, or are you, as I suspect, just dismissing them out of hand? What criteria are you applying to test for "fan-taintedness"? Do you have a reliable source which says Cheney has written an overzealous book? Did you ask at WP:RSN to get an informed opinion? Frankly, I don't believe you did any of this; of course you didn't, that would involve some real footwork. This would all have been rather less annoying if you had been honest up front and simply stated you were absolutely against the current article wording. If I had not thought you were open to persuasion, I would not have gone to the effort of finding sources and you owe me an apology for your gratuitous waste of my time.
You do realise that the Cheney book is already being used as a reference for the article and if this book is suspect then a lot more needs careful examination in this article than whether Tesla is "one of the most important" of just "an important" contributor. Are you going to check out the passages using Cheney as reference for "fan-taintedness"? I doubt it, any real work does not seem to be your forte, much easier just to decorate the articles with ugly {{
fact}} tags.

Hi,
I'm looking at a page of yours from 2009, that refers to Dell Publishing, Murphy Books.
I have naturally never heard of Murphy or of Dell being part of it.
When I run a websearch, I get only one hit, this page.
So I go in to blow away the IP vandal, actual surname Murphy, and I find you wrote that.
So, whuzzup with the Murphy business?

Keep. Please forgive me, because I find this to be a very useful reference, and I fail to understand how anyone can make such a sweeping statement as "Unused" without actually knowing if it really is unused. Seems like I'm always coming across REDIRECTs that need Rcats, and if I'm not certain which Rcat(s) is appropriate, I go directly to {{ R from}}, which redirects to {{ R help}}, to find out. I view this reference as a handy shortcut for Wikipedia:Template messages/Redirect pages, and this is why editor Dispenser created this page in the first place. His creation comment back in 2008 was "Should've created this a long time ago, would've made searching for the template much easier." Happiest of holidays to you all! — Paine ( Ellsworth's Climax) 03:41, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
In case I somehow misinterpreted you and you've somehow misinterpreted me: I took your comment negatively because, rather than answering my question, you seemed to indicate the answer was so obvious that I should have known it by reading a a low-level tutorial page. But maybe I rushed to judgment, and you thought you were answering my question. Or maybe you thought I wasn't asking genuinely. I don't know everything, and I expect sometimes you will know things that I don't. I hope you'll bear with me and help me by explaining them.
In any event, I do want to say that I don't by any means discard your answers; in fact, I listen very carefully to them, and learn from them. (For example, our discussion about R Help has made me realize that the corss-namespace redirect guidelines need improvement.) And I never discount someone with whom I disagree civilly in one discussion in all others. That wouldn't assume good faith, and it wouldn't be wise, because people who engage with me on the issues on which I work are often very thoughtful. I hope you won't ever think it not worthwhile to discuss something with me. If I can't change that, let me know, and I'll try to avoid prompting you. -- Bsherr ( talk) 15:21, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
Paine, I'm not your pupil. We're all equals on Wikipedia. I expect you may think the way you choose to "educate" is fine, but I feel it demeans its recipient by suggesting he or she is wrong for asking questions because, if he or she had only thought about it more, he or she would realize it's a stupid question. I hope you'll reflect on whether you think you'd be grateful to be responded to in the way you respond to me. If, upon reflection, you understand why I might believe that, and decide that it's better to talk in a direct and forthright way, I am willing to be approached. But it's unfair to criticise someone as being unwilling to listen when, actually, the person is only unwilling to be demeaned. I'm here and at TfD if you change your mind. -- Bsherr ( talk) 18:39, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
I undid your edit to the move request at Template:R help. {{ Requested move}} should be substituted, and was. It produces a transclusion of {{ Movereq}}. Your edit mistakenly substituted that. -- Bsherr ( talk) 16:34, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
