Your recent editing history at Dog shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
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. --- Barek ( talk • contribs) - 17:36, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Per this edit and some others, there is a History of Maxwell's equations covering this somewhat. That and this source points out that James Clerk Maxwell's equations that showed mathematically that electromagnetic waves could propagate through free space were published in 1873.

Some of the additions to this article are really good. Some, less so. The myriad of minor improvements to gun cartridges would need to have some support that they are each truly historic, rather than part of a gradual evolution. MP3 isn't historic, its a bit of code amongst thousands of other bits of code, and which was outdated within a decade.

Yes, I should have used your talk page for my last comment, rather than the article talk page. My apologies.
I'm afraid I can't agree with your edits. I've read every report of the fight (bar one in French that I was unable to locate), and all the post-match exchanges. I'm satisfied that Heenan was close to victory when the ring was broken.
Yes, many English sources say that a draw was fair, or even that Sayers was on top. But no American source agrees, and there were English commentators who went on record to say that Heenan had not had fair play.
I believe that both articles should revert to what they were before you made your edits. Iain07 ( talk) 22:29, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
Link throws me a 404, but it sounds like someone was trying to make a gas-operated version of the Dreyse needle gun from the description. It's basically trying to make a gas piston rifle where the same structure is both the piston and the firing pin, and the cartridge case is also the piston shroud. Given the Dreyse had enough problems buggering up its pin when it didn't do that, it doesn't sound particularly practical. Herr Gruber ( talk) 16:48, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
In response to your recent talk page post, greetings, and congratulations on having a common interest in the history of electrical technology. Priestley around the 1770's charged a Leyden jar with an electrostatic generator and in its discharge made a fine wire glow incandescent. It is no surprise that a brief high current from a capacitor can heat up a fine wire. A Leyden jar in the mid 1700's could, for a very brief period, do whatever a battery could do sustainedly in the early 1800's. I will go back to Google books and try to find the exact reference.

Hi - first, you should never restore text deleted because it lacks a source. Yes, I know you thought you'd found one but that fails WP:RS. A shame as parts of it are good, but he's really not an expert in any case. If you disagree you can ask at WP:RSN. Secondly, my edit summary answered your question. However, I misread the section which isn't actually discussing long term storage but long or I guess medium term use. So that reason was wrong, but restoring material deleted for being unsourced or having an unreliable source is rarely a good idea in an encyclopedia which is meant to be based on reliable sources.

Hello, I noticed that you recently removed my inclusion of Green Eggs and Ham from the List of best selling books page, claiming that they were based on poor sources. However, the sources I cited were Huffington Post and ABC News. ABC News is specifically cited as a reliable source which editors are encouraged to use at Wikipedia:Suggested sources, and they are both cited in dozens of articles of varying topics across Wikipedia, including featured articles. I understand that 200 is a high figure, however these are both sources which have repeatedly been deemed to meet Wikipedia's standards for reliable sources. Vorpal76 ( talk) 11:07, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

And neither did Cavendish. The method of combining water with carbon dioxide was discovered by Priestley. It’s that that is referred to in the history section. He mentions Brownrigg in his 1772 paper, Dr. Brownrigg farther discovered that Pyrmont, and other mineral waters, which have the same acidulous taste, contain a considerable proportion of this very kind of air, and that upon this their peculiar spirit and virtues depend; and I think myself fortunate in having hit upon a very easy method of communicating this air (and in a much larger proportion than mineral waters contain it) to any kind of water, or, indeed, to almost any fluid substance.

Oops, I was thinking of WP:SEAOFBLUE, not WP:SKYISBLUE which is why the removal of the tag made no sense to me. Nevertheless, such claims are prone to nationalistic peeing contests, so having a reliable source is useful to editors who have to revert such nonsense without making them hunt down the source. Also, even common firearm knowledge probably isn't common to the general public. As such, I'm going to restore the tag. BilCat ( talk) 20:00, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
3O Response: (Also notifying BilCat) So far as "blue sky" claims, they are "blue sky" only until and unless challenged. If someone does challenge them, they aren't as "blue sky" as you thought, and regardless, if it is genuinely a well-known fact, finding a confirming reference should be trivial. Any statement which is unreferenced and challenged requires a reference as per verifiability, which unlike "blue sky" is a policy. It's also generally better to have these discussions on the article talk page where other editors can weigh in if they wish to do so. (And I have no idea whether that claim is true or not either, so I don't think it's really "blue sky" to begin with.) Also, "No one has said any differently" is not a valid source; a reference must affirmatively confirm the claim. Seraphimblade Talk to me 07:31, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
The reference I gave specifically talks about how the manufacture of gun cotton was an unsafe process and that these early variations were highly unstable. That's what that sentence describes, ("These substances were highly unstable and were not practical explosives"), isn't it? Pretty vague original sentence but that reference hits it bang-on, unless I'm missing something. The sentence that you said needed a citation doesn't even mention inventors, so why would its reference need a mention of inventors (In your revert, you wrote "None of the precious inventors of guncotton (prior to Schonbein) are even mentioned in this reference" fyi). Just thinking logically, my friend. Knightoften ( talk) 04:51, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Yes, many English sources say that a draw was fair, or even that Sayers was on top. But no American source agrees, and there were English commentators who went on record to say that Heenan had not had fair play.
I believe that both articles should revert to what they were before you made your edits. Iain07 ( talk) 22:29, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
Link throws me a 404, but it sounds like someone was trying to make a gas-operated version of the Dreyse needle gun from the description. It's basically trying to make a gas piston rifle where the same structure is both the piston and the firing pin, and the cartridge case is also the piston shroud. Given the Dreyse had enough problems buggering up its pin when it didn't do that, it doesn't sound particularly practical. Herr Gruber ( talk) 16:48, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
In response to your recent talk page post, greetings, and congratulations on having a common interest in the history of electrical technology. Priestley around the 1770's charged a Leyden jar with an electrostatic generator and in its discharge made a fine wire glow incandescent. It is no surprise that a brief high current from a capacitor can heat up a fine wire. A Leyden jar in the mid 1700's could, for a very brief period, do whatever a battery could do sustainedly in the early 1800's. I will go back to Google books and try to find the exact reference.

Hello. Apart from the claim that George Brayton developed the first “constant pressure” engine, do you have any other objection to these changes to the article?. Regards. Mario Castelán Castro ( talk) 18:25, 29 August 2016 (UTC).

Hi - first, you should never restore text deleted because it lacks a source. Yes, I know you thought you'd found one but that fails WP:RS. A shame as parts of it are good, but he's really not an expert in any case. If you disagree you can ask at WP:RSN. Secondly, my edit summary answered your question. However, I misread the section which isn't actually discussing long term storage but long or I guess medium term use. So that reason was wrong, but restoring material deleted for being unsourced or having an unreliable source is rarely a good idea in an encyclopedia which is meant to be based on reliable sources.

Hello, I noticed that you recently removed my inclusion of Green Eggs and Ham from the List of best selling books page, claiming that they were based on poor sources. However, the sources I cited were Huffington Post and ABC News. ABC News is specifically cited as a reliable source which editors are encouraged to use at Wikipedia:Suggested sources, and they are both cited in dozens of articles of varying topics across Wikipedia, including featured articles. I understand that 200 is a high figure, however these are both sources which have repeatedly been deemed to meet Wikipedia's standards for reliable sources. Vorpal76 ( talk) 11:07, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

And neither did Cavendish. The method of combining water with carbon dioxide was discovered by Priestley. It’s that that is referred to in the history section. He mentions Brownrigg in his 1772 paper, Dr. Brownrigg farther discovered that Pyrmont, and other mineral waters, which have the same acidulous taste, contain a considerable proportion of this very kind of air, and that upon this their peculiar spirit and virtues depend; and I think myself fortunate in having hit upon a very easy method of communicating this air (and in a much larger proportion than mineral waters contain it) to any kind of water, or, indeed, to almost any fluid substance.

Hey saying accenture Irish is wrong it was founded in america in Chicago it just went to ireland to save some money. So it should have flagicon of both countries. Raj vijay shah.
Saving money means like tax money and it was founded in america and listed in NYSE and owned by majority of american investment firms like blackrock,Vanguard,capital group etc.So calling it irish is wrong.If thats the case then Bermuda and Cayman islands should be first which is not ,So accenture should have both flag icons ireland and usa.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Invention of radio, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page George Adams ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Oops, I was thinking of WP:SEAOFBLUE, not WP:SKYISBLUE which is why the removal of the tag made no sense to me. Nevertheless, such claims are prone to nationalistic peeing contests, so having a reliable source is useful to editors who have to revert such nonsense without making them hunt down the source. Also, even common firearm knowledge probably isn't common to the general public. As such, I'm going to restore the tag. BilCat ( talk) 20:00, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
3O Response: (Also notifying BilCat) So far as "blue sky" claims, they are "blue sky" only until and unless challenged. If someone does challenge them, they aren't as "blue sky" as you thought, and regardless, if it is genuinely a well-known fact, finding a confirming reference should be trivial. Any statement which is unreferenced and challenged requires a reference as per verifiability, which unlike "blue sky" is a policy. It's also generally better to have these discussions on the article talk page where other editors can weigh in if they wish to do so. (And I have no idea whether that claim is true or not either, so I don't think it's really "blue sky" to begin with.) Also, "No one has said any differently" is not a valid source; a reference must affirmatively confirm the claim. Seraphimblade Talk to me 07:31, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
The reference I gave specifically talks about how the manufacture of gun cotton was an unsafe process and that these early variations were highly unstable. That's what that sentence describes, ("These substances were highly unstable and were not practical explosives"), isn't it? Pretty vague original sentence but that reference hits it bang-on, unless I'm missing something. The sentence that you said needed a citation doesn't even mention inventors, so why would its reference need a mention of inventors (In your revert, you wrote "None of the precious inventors of guncotton (prior to Schonbein) are even mentioned in this reference" fyi). Just thinking logically, my friend. Knightoften ( talk) 04:51, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
