Patrick, bedankt voor het zorgvuldig nalezen van grote delen van mijn tekst. Ik heb soms nogal de neiging om met A in lijn hoofd te zitten en toch B te schrijven. Dit is klaarblijkelijk gebeurd op verscheiden plaatsen van het hoofdstuk over "Centrale kracht", met de verwarring tussen parabool- en hyperbooltakken. -- Huibc ( talk) 16:45, 25 February 2010 (UTC) reply

Graag gedaan. Mijn complimenten voor je boek.

Wat betreft "de som van de twee massa's" [1]: als je die vermenigvuldigt met de gereduceerde massa krijg je het product van de massa's. Ik heb het kort opgeschreven omdat ik dacht dat je de uitleg voor de lezer er zelf bij zou willen zetten. Zeggen wat k moet zijn zo dat het precies klopt heeft mijn voorkeur boven zeggen dat het ongeveer klopt als de ene massa erg klein is, te meer omdat "G maal de som van de twee massa's" zo eenvoudig is.-- Patrick ( talk) 22:28, 25 February 2010 (UTC) reply

Je hebt volkomen gelijk. Ik heb er ook mijn Goldstein nog eens op nageslagen. Ik heb het echter nog nergens in die vorm geformuleerd gezien. Groeten, -- Huibc ( talk) 10:52, 27 February 2010 (UTC) reply

Patrick, you added the following equations to Gravitational potential Thus we get:

${\displaystyle V=-{\frac {G}{R}}\int (1+\left({\frac {x}{R}}\right)\ cos(\beta )+\left({\frac {x}{R}}\right)^{2}{\frac {3cos(\beta )^{2}-1}{2}}\ dm+...}$

${\displaystyle =-{\frac {GM}{R}}-{\frac {G}{R^{3}}}\int (\mathbf {R} \cdot \mathbf {x} )dm-{\frac {G}{R}}\int \left({\frac {x}{R}}\right)^{2}{\frac {3cos(\beta )^{2}-1}{2}}dm+...}$

${\displaystyle =-{\frac {GM}{R}}-{\frac {G}{R}}\int \left({\frac {x}{R}}\right)^{2}{\frac {3cos(\beta )^{2}-1}{2}}dm+...}$

These equations seem to imply that ${\displaystyle -{\frac {G}{R^{3}}}\int (\mathbf {R} \cdot \mathbf {x} )dm=0\ .}$

I tried but I could not figure out why this is true. Could you explain how you got this result? RHB100 ( talk) 23:07, 4 March 2010 (UTC) reply

• To User:Patrick: I made the article better... cleaning up its format and adding some sources... but as it is a new film and does not yet have an English release, it will be neccessary to show Europen coverage in order to assert its notability.

If you think that's enough... fine... but you might wish to request at the deletion discussion that it be userfied to you at User:Patrick/workspace/The Blonde with Bare Breasts for continued work.

Yes, thanks.-- Patrick ( talk) 13:54, 6 August 2010 (UTC) reply

What is the point of that? There is no need to link to an image description page from a 22 pixel icon. A flag gallery, for example, will use standard image syntax and thereby provide links to image description pages, but for icon purposes, that doesn't make sense. Further, it directly contradicts WP:ACCESSIBILITY principles, as icons would be read by screen readers like "flag of the Netherlands dot ess vee gee". This is precisely what the standard flag templates avoid through their proper usage. I don't understand what problem you are trying to solve. — Andrwsc ( talk · contribs) 23:59, 6 August 2010 (UTC) reply

It is intended for pages where the flag is information, not just decoration, but where there is only room for a small image. I know there are flag galleries, but this is for pages giving an overview of various info about countries, including the flag. The image description page provides a large version of the image.-- Patrick ( talk) 00:05, 7 August 2010 (UTC) reply

If your recent edit to List of countries and dependencies by population density is an example of that, then your interpretation is the opposite from consensus usage. Flags have nothing to do whatsoever with the subject matter of that page (population density), but serve solely as a navigation aid to help people find country names. There is strong consensus to remove the links to the image description pages from flag icons, from past discussions on the project talk page etc. — Andrwsc ( talk · contribs) 00:12, 7 August 2010 (UTC) reply

Perhaps the name of that page needs to be changed. It gives also the population, the area and the flag.-- Patrick ( talk) 00:18, 7 August 2010 (UTC) reply

Or, remove the irrelevant flags.... Population and area are used to compute density, so their inclusion makes sense. But in any case, your new template is an "accessibility disaster" to quote an old discussion at WP:WikiProject Flag Template. — Andrwsc ( talk · contribs) 00:25, 7 August 2010 (UTC) reply

In many cases the flags are not really one of the subjects of a page. The "accessibility disaster" was about those pages. For pages giving an overview of various info about countries we should not disable useful functionality. If necessary we can make a separate page without flags.-- Patrick ( talk) 00:35, 7 August 2010 (UTC) reply

I improved accessibility in accordance with WP:ALT#Captions and nearby text, using alt="flag".-- Patrick ( talk) 10:14, 7 August 2010 (UTC) reply

Could you explain the reason for your edit of operation (mathematics), please? It seems to me that the two operations on a vector space are addition and scaling, while there are usually infinite number of operators, which are simply maps between vector spaces. — Kallikanzarid ^talk 14:48, 20 December 2010 (UTC) reply

Any function is an operation, so a function between vector spaces is a special case.-- Patrick ( talk) 17:46, 20 December 2010 (UTC) reply

I thought you get an algebraic structure by fixing a few maps from a direct product of a set with itself n times to the set itself and calling them operations, all other maps you don't consider operations. Say you have vector spaces U and V, and then you consider an operator ${\displaystyle U\times V\to V}$, how is that an operation, on what set is it an operation? I don't like asking it, but do you have a degree in mathematics? — Kallikanzarid ^talk 19:03, 20 December 2010 (UTC) reply

Patrick, could you review the code for Template:Automatic taxobox? The template will eventually be used on hundreds of thousands of wikipedia articles.

The article Cuddling has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

If a cuddling section is needed it should probably be in the Hug article.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. N^oformation ^Talk 00:44, 6 June 2011 (UTC) reply

I don't know what happened, but it appears I stepped on your edits in space debris. Sorry! Maury Markowitz ( talk) 13:01, 18 July 2011 (UTC) reply

Dear Patrick! Please take a look at project:WikiProject User scripts/Requests#partial_link_substitution. I used [3] to manipulate the numerical links following "VIAF" at Gilad Shalit, Anton Sterbling, Richard Wagner (novelist). Thanks for any help in advance. Greetings from Munich

Please take a look at [4]. I was not active at bugzilla during last years. Do you mind to open a discussion / a bug report? Thanks in advance!

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Template:Location map Amsterdams metrostation. Since you had some involvement with the Template:Location map Amsterdams metrostation redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so). – droll  [chat] 20:35, 5 August 2011 (UTC) reply

I noticed that you worked on the current version of {{ Number table sorting}} (nts). I have a version that will sort negative numbers correctly in the template's sandbox and some test cases here. I would appropriate any thoughts. I'll watch the template talk page if you want to comment there. It will use more resources but I think it is worth it. If you think it might break some pages then maybe the template could be forked. I've asked MSGJ to comment as well. – droll  [chat] 01:28, 20 August 2011 (UTC) reply

Hi Patrick,

There's still a bug in the template, and it's beyond me.

If there is no iso3 field, then Template:Infobox language/ref seems to set it to the string {{{iso3}}}. It would be nice if it would just return null, but I don't know how to differentiate {{{iso3}}} as a field and {{{iso3}}} as a string. — kwami ( talk) 22:33, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply

Use {{{iso3|}}}.-- Patrick ( talk) 22:43, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply

Ah, thanks. I'd tried that in the subtemplates, but not in the main one. Seems to work now. — kwami ( talk) 22:49, 21 November 2011 (UTC) reply
