Hello,
I have completed a short assignment and have used your information on Stethoscopes as research material. Thank you.
May I have your surname and first initial for correct APA v6.0 referencing style? I wish to credit you properly.
I will understand if you don't wish to do this and I wanted to first ask before simply using the article name as the reference.

Hello SpinningSpark, I'm writing to you because you originally responded to a help desk query I had earlier. This is related but not entirely the same issue, but it is regarding the same article. I can't help but feel that certain experienced editors are being very combative as to my edits regarding a controversial article. My edits, which I feel are legitimate, are being reverted multiple times. I feel that some parts of my edits are definitely positive instead of controversial, but the whole edits are being reverted. When I discuss my edits at the talk page, I can't help but feel that these editors are ignoring a significant amount of my arguments. However, they band together to quote WP:BLP, WP:UNDUE and WP:CONSENSUS. Unfortunately, even for this controversial article, almost nobody apparently cares enough about the subject to comment about these issues; I posted queries on three message boards and only one editor responded. The few regular editors of the article, are often against me. In that case, I'll never achieve their idea of consensus. I'm really not sure how to proceed. I'm sure you'll be able to find out which article I'm talking about, but I'm not sure if you should intervene on that talk page yet. I was hoping to discuss my actions with you here, if possible, instead of you contacting the other editors. Thank you very much for your time. starship .paint ~ regal 14:15, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi there. I just received a message that you had removed one or more external links I added to the page Elastomer, because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. These are great technical articles that go in great detail about elastomers, so I am a bit puzzled. For future reference, I'd appreciate if you can let me know what was inappropriate about them so I am more careful when adding references or information sources.
Best regards,— Preceding unsigned comment added by JackieBM ( talk • contribs)
Thank you for the detailed explanation. Let me ask you, I see for example this link http://www.customadvanced.com/common-properties-of-rubber-elastomers.html under Elastomer. It is a commercial site. What would the difference be? or this one http://www.thomasnet.com/articles/plastics-rubber/liquid-injection-molding under Liquid Injection Molding. That is also a commercial site.
I would really appreciate the feedback since my intent is not to spam Wikipedia in anyway. As a matter of fact, I am one of the most loyal followers, reason I make sure I financially support it year after year. I am a true believer of what you do here. and that is the reason I take the time to add good content (or for what at least I believe to be excellent content)

That makes sense. Thank you for taking the time to explain. In that case, let me ask you another question before I make another mistake. I noticed in the Injection Molding section, there is a reference by Thomasnet.com It says (1) Liquid Injection Molding and it takes you to a commercial page where it has a button "Find Suppliers" and also an advertisement banner on the right (It says advertisement on top). Is that ok because it is a reference [1] inside the article posted in wikipedia?— Preceding

Thank you Spinningspark for taking the time to teach me the ropes. I will try not to make anymore mistakes, but please go easy on me while I learn. I will carefully read the content and post the articles as a reference if they make sense. For your edification, the articles I added were written by some of the best engineers in the industry. These articles are not scrapped. Each one of them takes over a week to write. Hours go into diligently researching and writing every single piece of content. Additionally, there are no "buy now buttons" or "get a quote" buttons. Nor are there any external links or advertisement. If anything, the only thing you will find is a link to a detailed guide on Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR), the material, the applications, and the process. Something that I can assure you, Wikipedia readers will find extremely useful.
Thank you for your patience and for taking the time out of your personal life to keep Wikipedia a reliable source of information. Now I know that my financial support is going to the right cause! JackieBM ( talk) 15:17, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

I had added Carol Baxter's account of the "Salt Hill" Murder of Sarah Hart by John Tawell, "The Electric Constable", to the bibliography, but apparently you saw fit to remove it (or to have it removed) suggesting it was a fictional account. Ms Baxter, a criminal historian from Australia, wrote a fully well-researched factual account in this book, and if you have doubts I would suggest you get a copy and read it. I would respectfully request to put the citation I had back in the bibliography.
Thank you.

Hello Spinningspark. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.
The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.
If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)
If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.
Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.
I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

Hi, I saw you undid my revision to the article on inductor— and fair enough. But I am confused about the use of the letter L. I understand that it means inductance, but on circuit diagrams I regularly see the letter L next to the symbol for an inductor (in the same way I see the letter C next to capacitors and R next to resistors) and that if there are multiple inductors (or capacitors or resistors) that these get numbered (L1, L2, C1, Q1 for a transistor, etc.). The number has nothing to do with the inductance, it is a way of distinguishing inductors from each other— because the letter L is signifying "here is an inductor." Am I not understanding that correctly? (I do not have an electrical engineering background, though I have built a few simple circuits in my time). Please clarify for me if you would. Thanks!

Hi Spinningspark.
Regarding your close of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of bus routes in Singapore. I find the outcome of no consensus surprising, given that admin User:slakr had made this comment, with which I would concur. Your close seems to have counted votes rather than giving due weight to policy-based argument. The keep !votes are mostly endorsing a couple of earlier "keeps" which themselves amount to little more than WP:Other stuff exists and WP:ILIKEIT. I would prefer that you self revert and allow another admin to deal with it.

I have no clue what happened there, why I got different results for the same search yesterday and today. Do you?
As an aside, it wouldn't have changed my !vote, as those citation data are way below the level that is normally judged to meet ACADEMIC (several articles with >100 citations, h-index of about 19 or more; lower for low citation fields such as mathematics or humanities, for the latter we often rely more on book reviews and such). -- Randykitty ( talk) 07:06, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

Greg caffrey ( talk) 13:45, 2 January 2015 (UTC) Hi Spinningspark. The page Hard Rain SoloistEnsemble was deleted. As a new user I'm a little confused about what went wrong and find it hard to cut through all the wiki jargon. I'd like to attempt to improve the article and get it to a point where it can be acceptable to Wikipedia. Perhaps you could send me the original article I posted so that I can amend as necessary and I would welcome any advice you can give as to what I might do, specifically, to make it fit for purpose.

Hello SpinningSpark, I'm writing to you because you originally responded to a help desk query I had earlier. This is related but not entirely the same issue, but it is regarding the same article. I can't help but feel that certain experienced editors are being very combative as to my edits regarding a controversial article. My edits, which I feel are legitimate, are being reverted multiple times. I feel that some parts of my edits are definitely positive instead of controversial, but the whole edits are being reverted. When I discuss my edits at the talk page, I can't help but feel that these editors are ignoring a significant amount of my arguments. However, they band together to quote WP:BLP, WP:UNDUE and WP:CONSENSUS. Unfortunately, even for this controversial article, almost nobody apparently cares enough about the subject to comment about these issues; I posted queries on three message boards and only one editor responded. The few regular editors of the article, are often against me. In that case, I'll never achieve their idea of consensus. I'm really not sure how to proceed. I'm sure you'll be able to find out which article I'm talking about, but I'm not sure if you should intervene on that talk page yet. I was hoping to discuss my actions with you here, if possible, instead of you contacting the other editors. Thank you very much for your time. starship .paint ~ regal 14:15, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi there. I just received a message that you had removed one or more external links I added to the page Elastomer, because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. These are great technical articles that go in great detail about elastomers, so I am a bit puzzled. For future reference, I'd appreciate if you can let me know what was inappropriate about them so I am more careful when adding references or information sources.
Best regards,— Preceding unsigned comment added by JackieBM ( talk • contribs)
Thank you for the detailed explanation. Let me ask you, I see for example this link http://www.customadvanced.com/common-properties-of-rubber-elastomers.html under Elastomer. It is a commercial site. What would the difference be? or this one http://www.thomasnet.com/articles/plastics-rubber/liquid-injection-molding under Liquid Injection Molding. That is also a commercial site.
I would really appreciate the feedback since my intent is not to spam Wikipedia in anyway. As a matter of fact, I am one of the most loyal followers, reason I make sure I financially support it year after year. I am a true believer of what you do here. and that is the reason I take the time to add good content (or for what at least I believe to be excellent content)

That makes sense. Thank you for taking the time to explain. In that case, let me ask you another question before I make another mistake. I noticed in the Injection Molding section, there is a reference by Thomasnet.com It says (1) Liquid Injection Molding and it takes you to a commercial page where it has a button "Find Suppliers" and also an advertisement banner on the right (It says advertisement on top). Is that ok because it is a reference [1] inside the article posted in wikipedia?— Preceding

Thank you Spinningspark for taking the time to teach me the ropes. I will try not to make anymore mistakes, but please go easy on me while I learn. I will carefully read the content and post the articles as a reference if they make sense. For your edification, the articles I added were written by some of the best engineers in the industry. These articles are not scrapped. Each one of them takes over a week to write. Hours go into diligently researching and writing every single piece of content. Additionally, there are no "buy now buttons" or "get a quote" buttons. Nor are there any external links or advertisement. If anything, the only thing you will find is a link to a detailed guide on Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR), the material, the applications, and the process. Something that I can assure you, Wikipedia readers will find extremely useful.

Hello Spinningspark. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.
The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.
If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)
If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.
Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.
I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

Hi, I saw you undid my revision to the article on inductor— and fair enough. But I am confused about the use of the letter L. I understand that it means inductance, but on circuit diagrams I regularly see the letter L next to the symbol for an inductor (in the same way I see the letter C next to capacitors and R next to resistors) and that if there are multiple inductors (or capacitors or resistors) that these get numbered (L1, L2, C1, Q1 for a transistor, etc.). The number has nothing to do with the inductance, it is a way of distinguishing inductors from each other— because the letter L is signifying "here is an inductor." Am I not understanding that correctly? (I do not have an electrical engineering background, though I have built a few simple circuits in my time). Please clarify for me if you would. Thanks!

DLD - Digital Logic Design is a new educational tool to provide assistance in teaching those subject areas mentioned in the article. The references given in the article are related to those subjects which are using some old tools for teaching those subjects. Those tools are either outdated or no longer supported on new platforms. The research paper related to this new tool is under review process in some research journal and, as in most cases, will take around 1-2 year to come in print. I have included this article to provide a resource for the students and teaching community who come to wiki for this purpose and found outdated software links on this prestigious site.

Hi SS,
I get the impression from previous deletions of yours that any new editor creating pages like this are Tobias Conradi. But I don't know anything about the history of that user so I'm not sure. Can you glance at Time in Albania and Time in Austria and User:Marcus Az-Absent and confirm? -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 15:08, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for taking the time to write up a thorough and thoughtful close at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kedar Joshi (2nd nomination). That went above and beyond, and I appreciate it.

Hello, Spinningspark. I suggest an article FC Tosno be reassessed as it does not look like a stub — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.174.186.110 ( talk) 14:03, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
You are invited to join the discussion at
Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/CloseAFD. I am inviting you to try the improved script! It makes relisting and closing debates much easier and now works in
Vector. Support has been added to deal with some incompatibility it had with other gadgets (like
wikEd). It also makes use of the new relist count parameter in {{
Relist}} to make that process easier. Please do check out the description page and give it a try! Thanks. — {{U|

Hello, please check if Analogical models illustration now is ok. -- Krauss ( talk) 10:10, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
About vector images: can you produce a new one from (inspiration of)
my File:Blackbox3D.png, converting to a SVG like
File:Blackbox.svg (or updating it!)? There are more work to do at
black box article (and
Talk:Analogical_models)... --

Hi, you removed Oxygine again with reason "A7" but it is not true right now. Article was fixed. It is not article about blog or something else. It is article about free open source technology. And it doesn't have any copy pasted text from http://oxygine.org You could see hundred similar acticles on /info/en/?search=List_of_game_engines My fault that I didn't wait review and moved it from draft directly to articles because I saw warning that review could take very long time. I didn't know that it is forbidden. What I could do now to unlock it? Thank you.
Thank you
Hi Spinningspark.
Regarding your close of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of bus routes in Singapore. I find the outcome of no consensus surprising, given that admin User:slakr had made this comment, with which I would concur. Your close seems to have counted votes rather than giving due weight to policy-based argument. The keep !votes are mostly endorsing a couple of earlier "keeps" which themselves amount to little more than WP:Other stuff exists and WP:ILIKEIT. I would prefer that you self revert and allow another admin to deal with it.
Have a good festive season. Charles ( talk) 18:25, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
There's something weird here. If I just click the link on top of the AfD, I only get 3 hits, none of them ever cited. I thought that using the full first names was somehow limiting me, so I changed to "JW Diesel" and got the same result. Right now, I get 39 results for "John W." and 86 for "J W", which are the same results you get, I think... I have no clue what happened there, why I got different results for the same search yesterday and today. Do you?
As an aside, it wouldn't have changed my !vote, as those citation data are way below the level that is normally judged to meet ACADEMIC (several articles with >100 citations, h-index of about 19 or more; lower for low citation fields such as mathematics or humanities, for the latter we often rely more on book reviews and such). -- Randykitty ( talk) 07:06, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
The article
Henry Nock you nominated as a
good article has been placed on hold
. The article is close to meeting the
good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See
Talk:Henry Nock for things which need to be addressed. Message delivered by

The first sentence in this page says "In the context of vectors and phasors, the term phase angle refers to the angular component of the polar coordinate representation." I don't understand the reason for your revert. Brirush ( talk) 16:48, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
I saw your most recent edits, which clarify the article significantly. Thank you! Brirush ( talk) 16:55, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
I've passed Henry Nock as a GA. For some reason Legobot did not post the usual notification, but as far as I can tell I updated Talk:Henry Nock correctly, and Legobot has removed the nomination from GAN, so I think everything is OK.

FYI, your reverting of a linked citation to remove an erroneous credit killed the very citation link to support the edit. Therefore, I reverted the deletion and corrected the citation. BTW, I am the one wearing the capote in the article. Steelbeard1 ( talk) 12:03, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for message. I wasn't aware that the same content was at AFD, but I'm not clear what remedial action you are proposing I take. The main user page isn't the appropriate place for a draft article anyway, and you say it exists already in article space. Do you want me to restore the content in a user sandbox?

I don't see how one keep !vote out of five participants in this AfD makes a consensus to keep.-- JohnBlackburne words deeds 13:51, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Jeung Lai Chuen. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. JohnBlackburne words deeds 14:23, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Greg caffrey ( talk) 13:45, 2 January 2015 (UTC) Hi Spinningspark. The page Hard Rain SoloistEnsemble was deleted. As a new user I'm a little confused about what went wrong and find it hard to cut through all the wiki jargon. I'd like to attempt to improve the article and get it to a point where it can be acceptable to Wikipedia. Perhaps you could send me the original article I posted so that I can amend as necessary and I would welcome any advice you can give as to what I might do, specifically, to make it fit for purpose.
