I think that, in the context of the article, the point of calling it a "major thoroughfare" is not to say that it is one of the biggest streets in Queens, but to say that in relation to the residential side street (Austin Street) it was a busier and more active road where perhaps help or safety could be found. Don't think of it as describing Lefferts in relation to all streets in Queens, but only about its relationship to the event taking place there at that moment.

hello epicgenius ! :)
please can we discuss.
you reverted an edit of mine, on 16-Oct at 16:44, page Hypertension - Signs and symptoms paragraph #1.
original text - "... A proportion of people with high blood pressure report headaches (particularly at the back of the head and in the morning), as well as lightheadedness, vertigo, tinnitus (buzzing or hissing in the ears), altered vision or fainting episodes.[3] These symptoms however are more likely to be related to associated anxiety than the high blood pressure itself.[4]"
my edit - "... These symptoms might be related to associated anxiety rather than the high blood pressure itself.[4]"
the problem - the cited article DOES NOT demonstrate it is 'more likely'. it suggests a possible relationship, without proving the relationship causality or % incidence.
your thoughts ?
snu7 :)
ps - there are other factors which can cause both hypertension and anxiety and the other symptoms (eg POTS/OI, causing increased epinephrine etc). there are other factors which can cause both hypertension and the other symptoms. i don't have proof of % incidence. i'm just pointing out that the relationship between hypertension, anxiety, and other symptoms, isn't simple.

I would appreciate if you would drop him a message in Chinese as per WP:ANI. I can understand his enthusiasm for something that he has probably devoted his entire life to, even though I don't share his interest in theoretical physics, so I would hate to see him get blocked for pasting his theories all over the place (I would have had no qualms about him getting blocked if it had been some nutty fringe theory in the fields of religion, languages, politics, UFOs or what have you, though, the kind of nuts that we usually see here, but scientists are usually nuts in an introvert harmless way, unlike the other ones...).

There is a serious problem with the line at the end of the section on Fascism, which stated: ""One may observe from photos, that Mary Richardson attacked a painting of a highly attractive voluptuous nude with a comely face; the exact opposite of her own unattractive straight body type."

Hi there. I see you reverted the addition of Janie McLure from the school's notable alumni. Her name was added yesterday, and I also nearly reverted it. I Googled her name, and sure enough she's a highly successful oil baroness from the town of Marianna. I agree that Wiki notability standards really are the best criteria for determining who gets onto a list, but I always find this a tough call, as she's probably someone they are proud of. If I have time I may write a short BLP for her and put her back on. Cheers! Richard Apple ( talk) 14:16, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your message. Unless there's a good reason, we don't normally link commonly known country-names, and avoid bunches of postal address locations, linking only the most specific item (which itself will have links to the broader geographical entities). "Geologist" just might have crossed over the line of acceptability, but certainly not "author". Please avoid what are called "dictionary links", since readers are expected to be familiar with English vocabulary.
I suppose the long and short of it is that rationing links strengthens the navigational system. You'll see undisciplined scattergun linking in foreign WPs that is not only an ungainly mess in appearance, but doesn't select (what editors judge to be) the most relevant and likely targets for clicking.
The soft evidence is that readers don't really click much on links at all. Tony (talk) 02:26, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
We were wondering why you deleted the Polybius photo contributions on the page. We (RogueSynapse) built the machine and submitted our own images/photographs. The cabinet is based on the oldest images on the net of the Polybius cabinet (from KLOV). I did a great deal of research before building the cabinet and designing the software on www.sinnesloschen.com as a Halloween release back around 2007. The images we submitted predate the Rob Sherman cabinet by 4 years and reflect the same cabinet seen on the build site.
The Sherman cabinet is not particularly accurate and, if it has any validity, it is because it was posted on wikipedia (rather than it being posted there on any authority of its own). I would be happy to see the KLOV version there instead of any other but we have no rights to that image. A great deal of work went into making ours as authentic as possible. Please either leave our images there, or remove all three (ours and Sherman's) and replace with the oldest known image (if within your power).
For what its worth, I own the trademark to the Polybius software and own Sinnesloschen LLC. I owned the images we submitted and made them public record in order to post them. A buddy recently pointed out the wikipedia post to me so I added to it rather than subtracting content. I have not posted before to Wikipedia as I have not seen the need. Please let me know if I did so in error or if there is some other way I can add to or correct this. You will find this content matches material found on www.sinnesloschen.com website which dates back to 2007 (predating the 2011 phot originally in place).

VisualEditor is still being updated every Thursday. As usual, what is now running on the English Wikipedia had a test run at
Mediawiki during the previous week. If you haven't done so already, you can turn on VisualEditor by going to
your preferences and choosing the item, "
MediaWiki:Visualeditor-preference-enable
".
The reference dialog for all Wikipedias, especially the way it handles citation templates, is being redesigned. Please offer suggestions and opinions at mw:VisualEditor/Design/Reference Dialog. (Use your Wikipedia username/password to login there.) You can also drag and drop references (select the reference, then hover over the selected item until your cursor turns into the drag-and-drop tool). This also works for some templates, images, and other page elements (but not yet for text or floated items). References are now editable when they appear inside a media item's caption ( bug 50459).
There were a number of miscellaneous fixes made: Firstly, there was a bug that meant that it was impossible to move the cursor using the keyboard away from a selected node (like a reference or template) once it had been selected ( bug 54443). Several improvements have been made to scrollable windows, panels, and menus when they don't fit on the screen or when the selected item moves off-screen. Editing in the "slug" at the start of a page no longer shows up a chess pawn character ("♙") in some circumstances ( bug 54791). Another bug meant that links with a final punctuation character in them broke extending them in some circumstances ( bug 54332). The "page settings" dialog once again allows you to remove categories ( bug 54727). There have been some problems with deployment scripts, including one that resulted in VisualEditor being broken for an hour or two at all Wikipedias ( bug 54935). Finally, snowmen characters ("☃") no longer appear near newly added references, templates and other nodes ( bug 54712).
Looking ahead: Development work right now is on rich copy-and-paste abilities, quicker addition of citation templates in references, setting media items' options (such as being able to put images on the left), switching into wikitext mode, and simplifying the toolbar. A significant amount of work is being done on other languages during this month. If you speak a language other than English, you can help with translating the documentation.
For other questions or suggestions, or if you encounter problems, please let everyone know by posting problem reports at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback and other ideas at Wikipedia talk:VisualEditor. Thank you! Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 18:39, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Why, when an editor changed the wording in the Aaron article in the christianity section, referring to Melchizidik as a person instead of a mystical figure did you change it back? Is it to do with the fact that he is a biblical only figure and therefore must be mystical? No offense intended or taken I am just curious. speednat ( talk) 21:05, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
Since the KML route map is replacing geocoords, it makes sense that it should go in the same place where the coords were, at the top of the article, and there is then no need to have to at the bottom as well. On the principle that wikicode should go near to where it's displayed on the page, please put the KML template at the top of the article, and mark it to display only in the title. Thanks.

You are in the middle of the nomination. You have added the FAC template, and are one of the top editors. The next thing you have to do is to go to Talk:7 Subway Extension and click the red texted "initiate the nomination". Click it and you're going to be lead to the nomination page. You have to edit the line "I am nominating this for featured article because..." only, other things will be done by default. In this line (or if you want to change it), you have to explain why you are nominating it for FA status. Once you give the reason, you have to add the following text to the top of the WP:FAC nominations, in this case above Paul Henderson's nomination: {{Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/7 Subway Extension/archive1}} Once this is finished 7SE will be nominated.

Hi there. I see you reverted the addition of Janie McLure from the school's notable alumni. Her name was added yesterday, and I also nearly reverted it. I Googled her name, and sure enough she's a highly successful oil baroness from the town of Marianna. I agree that Wiki notability standards really are the best criteria for determining who gets onto a list, but I always find this a tough call, as she's probably someone they are proud of. If I have time I may write a short BLP for her and put her back on. Cheers! Richard Apple ( talk) 14:16, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your message. Unless there's a good reason, we don't normally link commonly known country-names, and avoid bunches of postal address locations, linking only the most specific item (which itself will have links to the broader geographical entities). "Geologist" just might have crossed over the line of acceptability, but certainly not "author". Please avoid what are called "dictionary links", since readers are expected to be familiar with English vocabulary.
I suppose the long and short of it is that rationing links strengthens the navigational system. You'll see undisciplined scattergun linking in foreign WPs that is not only an ungainly mess in appearance, but doesn't select (what editors judge to be) the most relevant and likely targets for clicking.
The soft evidence is that readers don't really click much on links at all. Tony (talk) 02:26, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
We were wondering why you deleted the Polybius photo contributions on the page. We (RogueSynapse) built the machine and submitted our own images/photographs. The cabinet is based on the oldest images on the net of the Polybius cabinet (from KLOV). I did a great deal of research before building the cabinet and designing the software on www.sinnesloschen.com as a Halloween release back around 2007. The images we submitted predate the Rob Sherman cabinet by 4 years and reflect the same cabinet seen on the build site.
The Sherman cabinet is not particularly accurate and, if it has any validity, it is because it was posted on wikipedia (rather than it being posted there on any authority of its own). I would be happy to see the KLOV version there instead of any other but we have no rights to that image. A great deal of work went into making ours as authentic as possible. Please either leave our images there, or remove all three (ours and Sherman's) and replace with the oldest known image (if within your power).
For what its worth, I own the trademark to the Polybius software and own Sinnesloschen LLC. I owned the images we submitted and made them public record in order to post them. A buddy recently pointed out the wikipedia post to me so I added to it rather than subtracting content. I have not posted before to Wikipedia as I have not seen the need. Please let me know if I did so in error or if there is some other way I can add to or correct this. You will find this content matches material found on www.sinnesloschen.com website which dates back to 2007 (predating the 2011 phot originally in place).
Thanks (sorry about the length of the message)

Hi, kindly explain your revert here. Thank you. I assume you read the source in the cited Gulfnews article, right? (Palm Deira project was changed to Deira Islands, so there is no 3rd palm island anymore). -- Nepenthes ( talk) 10:04, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Notification of good faith revert found Actually I wanted to revert the two previous edits in Angora that were vandalism, but some how just caught the last one. Thanks for cleaning it all up. Alandeus ( talk) 10:57, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
Per our working arrangement, I want to let you know that I moved Plymouth Church back to Plymouth Church (Brooklyn, New York), where I had moved it in May. I did this because we have two articles on other Plymouth Churches (in Shaker Heights, and in Seattle), so disambiguation is appropriate. Thanks, Beyond My Ken ( talk) 23:21, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

VisualEditor is still being updated every Thursday. As usual, what is now running on the English Wikipedia had a test run at
Mediawiki during the previous week. If you haven't done so already, you can turn on VisualEditor by going to
your preferences and choosing the item, "
MediaWiki:Visualeditor-preference-enable
".
The reference dialog for all Wikipedias, especially the way it handles citation templates, is being redesigned. Please offer suggestions and opinions at mw:VisualEditor/Design/Reference Dialog. (Use your Wikipedia username/password to login there.) You can also drag and drop references (select the reference, then hover over the selected item until your cursor turns into the drag-and-drop tool). This also works for some templates, images, and other page elements (but not yet for text or floated items). References are now editable when they appear inside a media item's caption ( bug 50459).
There were a number of miscellaneous fixes made: Firstly, there was a bug that meant that it was impossible to move the cursor using the keyboard away from a selected node (like a reference or template) once it had been selected ( bug 54443). Several improvements have been made to scrollable windows, panels, and menus when they don't fit on the screen or when the selected item moves off-screen. Editing in the "slug" at the start of a page no longer shows up a chess pawn character ("♙") in some circumstances ( bug 54791). Another bug meant that links with a final punctuation character in them broke extending them in some circumstances ( bug 54332). The "page settings" dialog once again allows you to remove categories ( bug 54727). There have been some problems with deployment scripts, including one that resulted in VisualEditor being broken for an hour or two at all Wikipedias ( bug 54935). Finally, snowmen characters ("☃") no longer appear near newly added references, templates and other nodes ( bug 54712).
Looking ahead: Development work right now is on rich copy-and-paste abilities, quicker addition of citation templates in references, setting media items' options (such as being able to put images on the left), switching into wikitext mode, and simplifying the toolbar. A significant amount of work is being done on other languages during this month. If you speak a language other than English, you can help with translating the documentation.
For other questions or suggestions, or if you encounter problems, please let everyone know by posting problem reports at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback and other ideas at Wikipedia talk:VisualEditor. Thank you! Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 18:39, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Why, when an editor changed the wording in the Aaron article in the christianity section, referring to Melchizidik as a person instead of a mystical figure did you change it back? Is it to do with the fact that he is a biblical only figure and therefore must be mystical? No offense intended or taken I am just curious. speednat ( talk) 21:05, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
Since the KML route map is replacing geocoords, it makes sense that it should go in the same place where the coords were, at the top of the article, and there is then no need to have to at the bottom as well. On the principle that wikicode should go near to where it's displayed on the page, please put the KML template at the top of the article, and mark it to display only in the title. Thanks.

You are in the middle of the nomination. You have added the FAC template, and are one of the top editors. The next thing you have to do is to go to Talk:7 Subway Extension and click the red texted "initiate the nomination". Click it and you're going to be lead to the nomination page. You have to edit the line "I am nominating this for featured article because..." only, other things will be done by default. In this line (or if you want to change it), you have to explain why you are nominating it for FA status. Once you give the reason, you have to add the following text to the top of the WP:FAC nominations, in this case above Paul Henderson's nomination: {{Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/7 Subway Extension/archive1}} Once this is finished 7SE will be nominated. Watchlist that page because it may be constantly edited. © Tbhotch ™ ( en-2.5). 21:43, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
