I found a citation that referenced a broken URL ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Air_Force#cite_note-AFcolors-4). I happened to know where the referenced site moved to (www.lackland.af.mil -> www.jbsa.af.mil), but I noticed the cite template had an archiveurl parameter but not a newlocationurl parameter. I added the archiveurl, but I wonder if the citation should just be updated to the new active site? -- Yoda of Borg ( talk) 05:40, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
Entry under my name "Alok Ranjan Jha" may please be removed altogether. It has sections based on unverified media reports. This has already caused me enough damage and emotional distress. The reproduction here on Wikipedia is only adding to it. It is absolutely criminal to be able to malign an individual in this fashion and not to be subject to defamatory litigation. I wonder how an unsubstantiated entry on an individual could be useful to society as large. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.100.1.9 ( talk) 06:04, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
Change in understanding: From Electric double-layer capacitor to Supercapacitor
Electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs), invented 1957, have seen a dramatic change in understanding of their capacitive charge storage from a pure physical function between Helmholtz double-layers to an additional pseudocapacitive chemical charge storage with redox reactions, electrosorption and intercalation processes. Because nowadays (2013) an electrochemical capacitor is not only an EDLC anymore the question comes up how to name this very special capacitors.
Generally in science publications all the different developments of the last years are united under the term “electrochemical capacitors”. But if a development gets a discrete component from a manufacturer, the names are manifold. Supercap, Ultracap, Goldcap, Greencap, a lot of manufacturer related names exist.
A look through the science literature of electrochemical capacitors shows, that roughly 70 to 80 % of the authors uses the term “ Supercapacitor”. (see: A Bibliometric Analysis of the International Literature in Supercapacitors, Francesco Lufrano* and Pietro Staiti, Int. J. Electrochem. Sci., 4 (2009) 173 – 186 PDF)
A google research gives 730,000 results for Supercapacitor, for Ultracapacitor only 363,000 but for Double-layer capacitor Google gives 1,540,000 results. (Date: 2013-05-07)
That means, that as of 2013 the term double-layer capacitor is used in public linguistic usage, the term supercapacitor in science publications. Because in the broad public knowledge the new development of pseudocapacitance is not known, otherwise the science results are clear and available, that every EDLC not only has a double-layer capacitance but also a pseudocapacitance and nearly all new developments are trying to enhance the properties of the capacitors by increasing the pseudocapacitance the term double-layer capacitor is not correct anymore.
This is the reason this article now use the term supercapacitor. The reasons why in the science the term supercapacitor is prevailed instead of the term ultracapacitor are surely first the respect for B. E. Conway, who coined the term supercapacitor, and the second reason may be that the often used term “ultracapacitor” is used by Maxwell, the market leader, like a trade name for their capacitors, and that smells a little bit like advertising.
Please help to better this detailed and bulky article, written by a German, by editing grammar, style, cohesion, tone, or spelling. -- Elcap ( talk) 07:35, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
[[Category:Sanskardham Gurukul]] is an article written in "Category space" if there is such a thing.
I can't move it to article space, and it needs a lot of work on it in any case. Could someone please move this to either a sub page of the creating editor, or article space, explain where it is to the user, and what needs to be done to make it an accceptable article. Thanks -

Hi
I creted the page Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Admiral Island
Since the page was not accepted as an article, I want to post it as a stub of type
My question is, if I change the article to a stub, must I remove the top AFC section, or must I resubmit the article for evaluation?
Thanks for the help.

15:07, 16 May 2013 (UTC)Hello there,
I am trying to add a parameter to a semi-protected infobox. Is there a way to overwrite or create a custom parameter only on the article page in question rather than having to edit the global infobox? If not, then can someone help me edit the global infobox? It is for the newspaper infobox and my rationale and reason for he edit has been posted as a request on that infobox's edit request page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.128.6.199 ( talk) 14:37, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi,
My name is Salvatore Inzerillo, I am continually being ostracized, losing employment and suffering humiliation in my professional and personal life by wikipedias page Salvatore Inzerillo. Several years back i made an attempt to create an alternate page to clarifying that i am an Artist and public figure not this person nor related to this person. I cited my credentials, personal details, professional life, actual publications celebrating my work in the form of published plays, nytimes articles, daily news articles, village voice articles, 4 London publications, web sites for my unions, company's i work for..the cites were endless. the page was deleted. at one point a link from my work at another wikipedia page : Jesus Hopped the 'A' Train was linked directly to this ganster, murderer, drug traffickers profile: Salvatore Inzerillo
after many emails, someone finally removed the link.
what will it take to remedy this?
I have bcc'ed both my attorney and my professional representation in the email form of this letter.
Please help me,
Thank You

There is a feature that one can turn on in one's Preferences to make available a list of standard edit summaries. My question has to do with the minor edit summaries. The standard list includes fixing spelling or punctuation errors or fixing style/formatting. The most common reason why I make a minor edit following my own edit is to fix markup errors, such as mismatched brackets. I usually select style/formatting, but would like a standard edit summary that refers to inserting or correcting markup. (Inserting markup normally is putting a word or phrase in brackets.) Correcting markup errors has to be relatively common, since there is a bot, User:BracketBot that looks for markup errors. Can markup be added to the list of minor edit summaries?

I've read the guidance on autobiography and changing your own entry, so am raising the issue here rather than try it myself. The entry is "Martin Uden" and in one sense I'm clearly not so distinguished that anybody has bothered to update it. There's nothing in the article I object to, except that I started a new job in the UN last December. The UN Secretary-General's notification of my appointment can be found at http://www.un.org/ga/search/view_doc.asp?symbol=S/2012/936, and my LinkedIn page is up to date showing this change. If I was getting more picky about the page, I'd include the book I wrote, and I wouldn't say I carried the Olympic torch "along with the Korean Ambassador" since it wasn't a two-man job. I carried it "as did the Korean Ambassador," if that's considered worthy of note, which I certainly thought it was. I'd be grateful if at least my new job could be inserted, if anybody thinks it's worth the time to correct this. Thanks. Hyegyong ( talk) 20:09, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

When I see someone with seven years of experience announcing they are leaving it troubles me. I haven't run across you before, so this isn't based upon my observation of your edits, more an observation of a possibly general problem. However, when I glance at the Arbcom case in progress, I am puzzled. You explain you are leaving because of months of harassment with no end in sight. Yet we seem to be about to open an Arbcom case that could resolve many of the issues. It seems like a curious time to leave.-- SPhilbrick (Talk) 11:28, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
