Joseph Huber

Joseph Huber has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt this person might not be notable enough for an article. Please review Wikipedia:Notability (people) for the relevant guidelines. If you can improve the article to address these concerns, please do so.

If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the "prod" template, the article may be deleted without further discussion. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but if an editor is still not satisfied that it meets Wikipedia guidelines, it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

I removed the prod, because holders of chairs in major european universities are the equivalent of full professors in the US, and are consistently held to be notable at AfD. However the article needs major expansion. It is not necessary to explain the theories, but it is necessary to expand the biography and list key papers in major journals. It would be better not to start articles if you can't bring them up to standards,for they will inevitable be removed unless someone else does the work. DGG 00:07, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Bash syntax and semantics

Please also tell me if you prefer to be attributed in a different way. thanks NerdyNSK 05:56, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:Ethereal ip header.png

A tag has been placed on Image:Ethereal ip header.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:Ethereal ip header.png|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Sdrtirs (talk) 10:49, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Wikimedia Commons

Thank you for uploading images/media to Wikipedia! As you may know, there is another Wikimedia Foundation project called Wikimedia Commons, a central media repository for all free media. In future, please upload media there instead (see m:Help:Unified login). That way, all of the other language Wikipedias can use them too, as well as our many sister projects. This will also allow our visitors to search for, view and use our media in one central location. If you wish to move previous uploads to Commons, see Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons (you may view images you have previously uploaded by going to your user contributions on the left and choosing the 'image' namespace from the drop down box). Please note that non-free content, such as images claimed as fair use, cannot be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons. Help us spread the word about Commons by informing other users, and please continue uploading! Sdrtirs (talk) 21:26, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

RFC at WP:NOR-notice

A concern was raised that the clause, "a primary source may be used only to make descriptive claims, the accuracy of which is verifiable by any reasonable, educated person without specialist knowledge" conflicts with WP:NPOV by placing a higher duty of care with primary sourced claims than secondary or tertiary sourced claims. An RFC has been initiated to stimulate wider input on the issue. Professor marginalia (talk) 06:17, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Revisions

The revisions were not all by be and by undoing you deleted a mass amount of sourced and cited text, and restored the article to old text which was copied from Mousavi's website, which violates neutrality. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amir mousavi (talk • contribs) 19:14, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

I didn't know the old text was POV -- it certainly could be. I was just trying to follow BLP standards. Let's talk about it on the talk page. Jeff Carr (talk) 19:26, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

The Issue

I completely understand, and the issue is that the first article was using Wikipedia as a toll for his propaganda. This is a very important situation, and i tried bringing in facts such as the executions(which have been filed by Amnesty international and the UN(I also included many for it). Im just trying to keep this neutral and prevent this article from becoming a tool for propaganda(ex: the initial article kept describing him as a "Humble" man.). Undoing doesn't help, I would like you to help me since you know more about Wikipedia regulations, point out what needs to be fixed and ill gladly help.Amir mousavi (talk) 21:01, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Re:ITN for July 2009 cyber attacks against South Korea and the United States

The correct way to revert vandalism

Sorry this response is a little late. There are several ways to revert vandalism. One is to use roleback privileges which are given to more experienced users. The other is to do the revert manually and put in a description of what you've done. If you want to revert multiple edits by other users, you go to the history page, then, where there two buttons are to the right of "(cur) (prev)", you select the edits of the users that you want to revert (by selecting the buttons), click "Compare selected revisions", then on the next page press the undo link next to the current revision. On the edit page enter an edit summary and click "Save page".

As far as protecting pages goes, a good place to start is at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. Good luck!--Cdogsimmons (talk) 02:07, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Making the Egyptian Timeline pages easier to find

Timeline of the 2011 Egyptian revolution under Hosni Mubarak's rule and the Timeline of the 2011 Egyptian revolution under Supreme Council of the Armed Forces cant be merged due to the size of both article. We had to spilt both a while back to that issue but I think maybe we should rename Timeline of the 2011 Egyptian revolution under Supreme Council of the Armed Forces to Egypt under Supreme Council of the Armed Forces rule. Thoughts? As for the main article, we need to talk about it in the article talk page before we do anything -- The Egyptian Liberal (talk) 05:16, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Article A talks about the causes and give general background to the what lead to the uprising and its impact; Article B focus the event of the uprising under Mubarak; while article C talks about Egypt (or the revolution to be exact) under SCAF (Supreme Council of the Armed Forces). All of them are huge and cant be merged. I know people have a hard time finding the page and during the Nov. event, I asked for the SCAF article to be part of the main page as post it in the ITN section but it didnt have enough supporters. Anyways, This revolution is gonna last for a long ass time (5 to 10 yrs) so the article will get spilt as we go. I think the main article needs a lil bit more organizing. -- The Egyptian Liberal (talk) 16:00, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

2012 Constitution of Egypt move request

Hello. You replied earlier to the move request for 2012 Constitution of Egypt, so I wanted to let you know that I removed the request because the person who made the request impersonated me using my name without permission and pasting in a comment I made elsewhere. I did however create a new request, so feel free to comment on that one. Trinitresque (talk) 07:53, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

"ultra high energy cosmic rays"

Hi Jeff,

Last Aug you left me a msg re LHC that I did not see until now. Galaxies in the relatively nearby universe (< a billion light years) may well emit the ultra high energy cosmic rays (because as I understand it, they have difficulty propagating cosmological distances due to encounters with Doppler-shifted photons of the microwave background), and such "nearby galaxies" are only red-shifted << c. So the cosmological red shift only affects their energies by a factor of a few, < 10X.

I don't have time now to go back and work through all this again, but I did it once, and lots of other people have done it before me and since, so I think it is right. (Of course the LHC collides protons head-on, with gamma factors of around 7000 each, which is a big factor raising the CM energy beyond what it would be for a proton hitting a stationary target.)
