Jami al-Tawarikh

Hiya, I see that you're the main editor on Rashid al-Din's work. FYI, I have just received via interlibrary loan, two books which could be useful sources to the article, Blair's Compendium of Chronicles and Gray's World History of Rashid al-Din. I only have the books for a couple weeks though, so I figured I'd mention it to you directly, and see if there's anything in particular that you'd like me to doublecheck while I have them. :) --Elonka 00:00, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

deletion of restored copyright-violating images

You have restored images that (a) do not belong in this article where they are placed (scroll down to appropriate placement of images of the medals already in this article) and, more importantly, (b) are currently marked for deletion because they have been lifted from a copyrighted website; please click on the image and see the problems by following the links to the image being marked for deletion page. Please read the article on Nobel Prize section on the medals, where such illustrations (which are not currently marked for deletion) are included. Thanks. --NYScholar (talk) 00:45, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Archeology articles

Hi Jheald. I noticed that you were involved in renaming articles to South Levant back in the day. There's a discussion over at something that started as Palestinian archaeology by a fine editor, Tiamut. I want to avoid an appearance of canvassing, but I would like to find out a bit about the history and logic of the naming dispute and how you all settled on South Levant. Thanks, HG | Talk 18:22, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 15:22, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

AWB sweep for multiple wikireferences

I agree with you. After using AWB for a bit, I noticed the "Alert" section in AWB that points out multiple links, and I decided to add cleaning up multiple wikilinks to the edits. I began going through the links it listed (I did go through each one manually on each article) and eliminating most (but not all) of the second and subsequent occurrences. However, after a few dozen of these, I came to the same conclusion as you that there are often valid reasons for multiple link occurrences and I was afraid I might be being overly aggressive in removing them. I decided it's not something I want to include in future AWB general cleanup as each case really needs closer attention. --MPerel 18:27, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Human genetics Wikiproject

I have signed up at the Wikiprojects page. I have recently edited several very obsolete or otherwise confusing pages (R1b, U, K) and I really hink it needs of this kind of group.

I nevertheless believe the project should focus specially in scholarly peer reviewed research and leave comercial testing in a second plane (and treat it with the due criticism it often deserves). I think the name of the project should be something like Human population genetics, rather than the ambiguous "Genetic History".

I have already some Wikiproject experience, specially in the Basque WikiProject. Alternatively a Task Force could do but surely this issue will draw enough people as to create a good WikiProject and even a Portal. --Sugaar (talk) 16:50, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I created a draft version of WikiProject Human Genetic History; feel free to go to it and flesh it out. Also, given that there has been some comments about starting a task force inside of an existing WikiProject vs. a full-blown project, I've started an informal poll on the WikiProject proposal page. – Swid ^{(talk · edits)} 00:25, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Black hole electron

Hi Jheald; I believe the Bh electron article now defines electron mass and Compton wavelength units with sufficient clarity so that units are adequately explained and defined. I would like very much to know if you agree that units used are clearly explained. There seems to be no end to this electron story but I know we should limit the article to documented information and facts that can be readily verified.

Please let me know if the present wording is adequate (your opinion) or if a better explanation of units is needed. DonJStevens (talk) 13:16, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

RE: WP:ANI Thread

I'm very sorry about that. I was using Lupin's Anti-Vandal tool at the time and I used rollback to revert what I thought was vandalism. The thing that came up was Line 380 - :'Forward 5′→ 3′: gcaacaatgagggtttttttg'- I immediately thought that this was vandalism, did one revert and moved on. I didn't look into the page history but my personal policy is to rollback once and then go to the revision history. I express my apologies to Aaronjhill. This was a complete misunderstanding. I had no idea what he was trying to do. When anti-vandalising, I come accross vandalism like that all time and I simply believed this was another case. Olly₁₅₀ 13:16, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

• That's odd. I actually saw the same line in Huggle. However I agree I've had an error of judgment here, and it's something I'm not proud of at all. I give my deepest apologies, this is most rare, I can assure you. Steve Crossin (talk) 13:22, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

"Where non-free content (i) is legal, (ii) is not in competition with the creation of any free content, and (iii) would add value to an article, then it's hard to see any useful purpose served by excluding it."

Use of {{lowercase}}

About that, when is it utilized for surnames? Best one I was able to find was this sample. Thoughts? Please reply on your talk page, as I'm watching it. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 19:03, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

There should be something in WP:MOS about this. As a counter-example, consider Van der Waals force. My view is that a prefix is not usually capitalised; but the first word of an article title is like the first word of a sentance, which is capitalised. So IMO capitalization of the prefix is correct. Hmmm. Time to look through WP:MOS... Jheald (talk) 19:08, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

This probably should be taken to Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (capitalization) for a definitive view. I haven't been able to find any specific guidance in WP:MOS, and I definitely think that there should be. Jheald (talk) 19:35, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello

I've seen your important contributions for the article Exact trigonometric constants.

I'm looking for the general (non-iterative) algebraic expression for the exact trigonometric constants of the form: ${\begin{aligned}\cos {\frac {\pi }{2^{n}}}\end{aligned}}$, when n is natural (and is not given in advance). Do you know of any such general (non-iterative) algebraic (non-trigonometric) expression?

• Let me explain: if we choose n=1 then the term ${\begin{aligned}\cos {\frac {\pi }{2^{n}}}\end{aligned}}$ becomes "0", which is a simple (non-trigonometric) constant. If we choose n=2 then the term ${\begin{aligned}\cos {\frac {\pi }{2^{n}}}\end{aligned}}$ becomes ${\begin{aligned}{\frac {1}{\sqrt {2}}}\end{aligned}}$, which is again an algebraic (non-trigonometric) constant. etc. etc. Generally, for every natural n, the term ${\begin{aligned}\cos {\frac {\pi }{2^{n}}}\end{aligned}}$ becomes an algebraic (non-trigonometric) constant. However, when n is not given in advance, then the very expression ${\begin{aligned}\cos {\frac {\pi }{2^{n}}}\end{aligned}}$ per se - is not an algebraic expression but rather is a trigonometric (non-algebraic) expression. I'm looking for the general (non-iterative) algebraic (non-trigonometric) expression equivalent to ${\begin{aligned}\cos {\frac {\pi }{2^{n}}}\end{aligned}}$, when n is not given in advance. If not for the cosine - then for the sine or the tangent or the cotangent.

Entropy

Hi,

There are a number of editors who are trying to bring a sense of order and structure to the various articles on entropy. Engaging in revert wars is counter-productive to this effort. The core problem is that the DAB page is fundamentally incorrect in what it states, and in particular, is incorrect in pointing to a "lead" article that provides an inappropriate/verging on wrong/ definition of entropy. Please do not interfere in the creation and maintenance of articles about topics in which you have no interest. Thank you. linas (talk) 19:09, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry I bit, I've been reverted three times today, and I view the first few as spurious and clueless. I'm rather loosing my temper in resolving what should be an easy and clear problem, with an obvious and immediate direct way forward.

The topic got pounded to death on the talk pages. There was (I thought) a clear consensus for the need for a general article on the concept of entropy, that wasn't strongly focused on thermodynamics. The obvious path from here to there was blocked when the page move went awry. The next step is then to create the desired, factually correct article on the general concept of entropy, and when its completed, take another shot at installing it as the "main" article. linas (talk) 19:25, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

E3b vs. E1b1b

Don't you think we should wait to see if the rest of the scientific community accepts this new nomenclature before moving the E3b page to E1b1b and changing all references? E3b has been used pretty consistently (although some of its subclades have been moved around a bit) for a while now, and I'm not sure it will be so quickly renamed. — ዮም | (Yom) | Talk • contribs • Ethiopia 21:28, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: Helmholtz free energy

I'm not sure what the best convention is. As I understand it, the chemists prefer A while physicists prefer F. Most textbooks I've seen (admittedly these are physics textbooks) still use F. I was about to start writing the up derivation of "A = - kT Log(Z)" and I tought "A = - k T Log(Z)" looks so strange compared to the usual "F = - k T Log(Z)", so I changed A to F. Anyway, I can change it back to A if that is what most involved editors want... Count Iblis (talk) 16:04, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I've more or less finished the updates to the article "Edward Wright (mathematician)" that I intended to do.

Coin images

Hi there,

I think you may misunderstand the non-fair use of currency images in general.

First, it is difficult (if not impossible) to determine if a currency image is free-of-use. That can change by the image of the currency and the country where the currency is issued. The euro coins dedicated to circulation, for example, are free-to-use copyrights; this has been checked several times with the ECB. The euro commemorative coins, which have not legal tender in the union, they may adhere to the laws of the issuing country. Same happens for other currencies of other countries, some countries' are free-to-use rationale some countries' are not.

However, even if the country says that they are not free-to-use (like England for example) they are under the fair-use rationale. For currency images that has a very specific meaning: the image can be use, as long as the image on the coin is used to be described or criticized. The image you removed was described in the article; hence it is in the fair-use rationale.

Maybe I am incorrect, what is your opinion?

Thanks, Miguel.mateo (talk) 07:30, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Septuagint edit comment

You left a comment on the 9th which I wanted to address.

"Kantor is not a reliable scholarly source; the LXX translates the Hebrew Bible, not just the Torah; and Aristeas predates the Talmud by 700 years"

• Kantor has actually spent most of last 15 years on compiling his books, and has been printed twice, having become a standard reference in the Jewish educational institutions.

• In the first instance the LXX as the Pentateuch translates just the Torah

• Aristeas pre-dates the Talmud by 700 years only if you date to closing of the Babylonian Talmud!!! However, the Talmud also includes the Mishnah which at its earliest is dated around same time as Aristeas--Meieimatai 15:43, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

WP:NOR and NFCC #8

Yes, that was poorly worded. I'll try and express my reasoning better in the future. -20:58, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

there may once have been a word ?

Keil suggests there may once have been a word raham (רָהָם) in Hebrew, meaning "multitude", even though it has not survived into any attested text. The word ruhâm has this meaning in Arabic. (K.F. Keil (1869), Biblical commentary on the Old Testament, vol. 1, p. 224)

Please, I do not mind discussing anything, but do not insult my intelligence. Even if some 19th century German linguist did suggest there may once have been a word raham (רָהָם) in Hebrew, the existence of a cognate in Arabic makes no difference to a text written in Hebrew, and deduced from Old Testament which was not written in Hebrew! In any case, IF you read the actual Hebrew, you will see its in the feminine addressed to Sarah, and not to Avraham! This is just another support to the Deuteronomy 7:3. There is no way Arabs can trace their ancestors to Abraham via this verse, and they know it, but persist--Meieimatai 11:06, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your participation, but bible and Quran are original sources and we should add secondary source. Please pay attention to these :

• Primary sources are sources very close to the origin of a particular topic...religious scripture[4]
• The sacred or original text(s) of the religion will always be primary sources[5]
• The Qur'an and the Hadith are considered to be primary sources, as defined in WP:NOR[6]

You make a good point. A point that was not made as succinctly in the IFD discussion. However, the image caption and the text did not tie together to make the image necessary. The caption simple says "Nanette Newman as the controversial "Carol Van Sant"." ("Controversial" being a description I believe is unsupported. See Cbradshaw's talk page.)

I restored the image. Please tie the image caption into the article as you proposed and we'll see if it flies. -Regards Nv8200p talk 19:30, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Image:BBCRMAcrobat.png deletion

Hi Jheald, I've added a closing rationale now (I missed it earlier with too many tabs open). Looking again it clearly, to my mind and those of most participants, fails NFCC#8. In my opinion it also fails NFCC#1 (as it is replaceable by text alone) and with the multiple uses of non-free images that are similar NFCC#3a. I invite you to view the article with NO images and perhaps you will see too that the Bollywood, Salsa, Skateboarders, Tango and others are adequately replaced by text alone. In the deletion discussion I can't see any convincing argument as to why this image is necessary while there are so many other non-free ones in the article - Peripitus (Talk) 11:45, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Sock puppet

I think one sock-puppet on Yahweh got through. Can we check Alleichem and some of his IP addresses? 143.53.7.18, 143.53.7.76, 143.53.7.171, 143.53.7.169. They are all from England.SkyWriter (Tim) (talk) 16:42, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Merge proposal

Please see WT:Only_make_links_that_are_relevant_to_the_context#Break 1 for the current discussion. I'm letting everyone know who has a comment on the relevant talk pages. Obviously, we're not going to push anything through without a full discussion of every issue, including whether to merge at all. My sense is that there's wide agreement on all the big points, but the devil is in the details. - Dan Dank55 (send/receive) 19:45, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi Jheald, thank you for your comments on my closing. To keep the discussion together I've responded here...oh for some form of threaded discussion extension to Mediawiki software - Peripitus (Talk) 04:24, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the support!

Thanks for supporting my successful Rfa! Hope to work with you more in the future!--Aervanath lives in the Orphanage 20:07, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Harry Potter influences and analogues

If I ever bring that up to FL review, the first thing everyone is going to as why it has no images. By the standards you established, I can't think of an image that could possibly be included. So could you let me know what images I could add? Serendi^podous 12:59, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Fair use

Only in articlespace. See WP:FU and Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria exemptions. Daniel (talk) 12:29, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Boltzmann distribution applies to entire microstates?

I see that you posted a comment on Talk:Boltzmann distribution justifying this sentence from the article:

Alternatively, for a single system (of particles) at a well-defined temperature, it gives the probability that one particle of the system is in the specified state.

Would you please provide a reference for this statement? I've posted a fuller explanation for my confusion on that talk page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Halberdo (talk • contribs) 05:44, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
