Human Picture

Hi Rhetth, I think you should contact the individuals you're using as the prototype image for the "human" page. I'm sure they'd be flattered to know they have such a lauded place in the Wikipedia cannon.

Restaurant categories

edit

Hi, Rhetth! I noticed that you are doing some editing and organization of restaurant categories. The way categories work is sometimes non-intuitive, so you might want to take a look at Wikipedia:Categorization and Wikipedia:Category. Unfortunately, in the case of regional hierarchies (as you probably have discovered) previous editors have not always been consistent in how they are applied and in preserving a true hierarchy. As it is, if you add a more specific subcategory, please be sure to remove any redundant parent categories (e.g., if you add Category:Restaurants in Missouri, you should remove Category:Restaurants in the United States); and usually we do not add nonexistent (redlinked) categories unless they are going to be populated (e.g., Category:Restaurants in Kansas City).

I have also been working on categorization and recategorization of restaurant articles, so I'm sure we'll run into each other again. You might be interested in looking at WikiProject Food and drink and help me restart the project. Cheers, MCB 00:35, 29 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

User page semi-protection

edit

Hi, Rhetth - I have semi-protected your user page, which should help keep it from being repeatedly vandalized by what appears to be a spambot. You (and other registered editors) can edit it, but anon IPs cannot. After a while we can remove the semi-protection and see if the spammer has moved on to other targets.

Core

edit

Hi. I removed the core (anatomy) link you added to the disambiguation page core, on the basis that disambig pages aren't glossaries, but a way to distinguish information that exists on Wikipedia and which may be confused with each other. Before I removed the link, I did some searching to see if I could find some other anatomy article that talked about "cores" which we could use in the entry, but couldn't turn anything up.

If you know of an article that discusses the anatomical concept of core, or if you wish to write a stub for core (anatomy), I'd be happy to reinstate the entry. Sanguinity 20:57, 16 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Oh, good! I'm glad that we'll have something to link to soon. Thank you for taking that on. :-) Sanguinity 21:58, 16 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
There's some judgement call to it. The Manual of Style for Disambiguation pages has a discussion about when to disambiguate redlinks. If many articles already link to the redlink, then it's a good idea to disambiguate it. If nothing links to it, disambiguation is less important.
When I disambiguated all the links pointing to core, almost none of them had anything to do with core muscles, core strength, or related ideas. There are quite a few articles that could link to such a place, but no one was trying to. Personally, I would be okay with disambiguating that sense of "core".
As to how to disambiguate a redlink: it's bad form to have a redlink entry with no accompanying bluelink; it's bad form to have a redlink entry with a near-irrelevant bluelink, it's good form to have a redlink entry with a useful bluelink. Examples:
Moot point -- you've already populated the article! Sanguinity 22:36, 16 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Sirtuins and Sir2

edit

Hello, I see that you changed the Sirtuin redirect to a new page. Personally I'd prefer to have a single page discussing the sirtuins and Sir2 together, because almost all we know about sirtuins is about Sir2=SIRT1, the main study object of Sinclair et al. There are some other sirtuins, but comparatively little is known about them. The Sir2 article used to have an introductory sentence explaining that Sir2 is just one of the sirtuins, but that was recently removed and I just restored it. Your interesting information about sirtuin companies and history in sirtuin research could be merged with Sir2. Another option would be to merge both articles under the heading Sirtuin, which probably makes more sense since that's the larger concept. But of course it's your baby so if you prefer to keep them separate that's ok too. Cheers, AxelBoldt 18:02, 19 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

{{Exercise physiology-stub}}

edit

Hi - it has come to our notice that you have recently created a new stub type. As it clearly states at WP:STUB, at the top of most stub categories, on the template page for new Wikiprojects and in many other places on Wikipedia, new stub types should be proposed prior to creation at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, in order to check whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies, and whether better use could be made of a WikiProject-specific talk page template.

In the case of your new stub type, it is already covered by existing stub types, it is not named according to stub naming guidelines, may not reach the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, and is incorrectly formattd, with no dedicated stub category. Your new stub type is currently listed at WP:WSS/D - please feel free to make any comments there as to any reason why this stub type should not be proposed for deletion at WP:SFD. And please, in future, propose new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 23:26, 1 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

The 1/1 situation

edit

Since 1/6 redirects to 1st Battalion 6th Marines it seems to me that a redirect from 1/1 to 1st Battalion 1st Marines has that as a precedent. Do you want to change the redirect at 1/1 or would you like me to do it. --Drappel 22:15, 16 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

My feeling is that a simple redirect will be the easiest, while 1/2 1/3 and 1/4 1/5 have managed to generate disambiguation pages because they have more than two possible answers many other 1/? have only redirects. Some month/day or day/month combinations have disambiguation pages and some do not and some go direct to rather unexpected results like 5/5 and some like 10/4 go nowhere (10-4 gets to the expected page). Anybody that feels a 1/1 redirect upsets them can make it a disambiguation page. I am all for being bold but allowing 10 days from your first post for debate on the talk pages allows anybody to have a say. --Drappel 17:24, 19 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Image:Lordosis.jpg

edit

I've removed this image from Lordosis because the woman has not confirmed that she suffers from the condition (original conclusion), and she also has not given consent to act as a model for the condition (personal privacy).-Wafulz 14:59, 6 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Funny timing that. I just visited this page to say as follows:
Hi,
Thanks for uploading an image of Lordosis. I've deleted it though, essentially for the same reason as above -- we have got no actual evidence this subject has a confirmed medical condition, and whether they do or don't, we need to be very careful before putting images of unsuspecting subjects into Wikipedia as examples of people with medical conditions. Effectively you'd want a medical source, or a statement of permission by an individual who confirms they have the condition and are okay with being the model, or a completely anonymous, clinical-style picture that shows nothing beyond a clinical view, pretty much.
The assumption that this person has that condition also is not made by a reliable source -- the flikr page seems to be by someone who might not know a medical condition from an exaggerated normal stance. So on all these counts I've removed it from Wikipedia.

N-arachidonoyl-dopamine

edit

I agree that this topic deserves a page, as my understanding is that all neurochemicals are automatically notable. I think you may have actually returned the speedy deletion tag by mistake that I had just removed (see the page history for details). Anyway, I hope the article stays in place; if someone tags it again, I'll be looking for that. Accounting4Taste:talk 04:13, 15 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Yes, that was it; although I'd be hard-pressed to point to the exact policy statement, my understanding is that all chemicals are automatically notable, and certainly neurochemicals. The speedy tagger had attached ((db-bio)) to the article, which didn't make much sense. This seemed, and seems, like a reasonable stub article (which could probably use the correct stub tag, if you could figure out what that is and add it). If there's something further I can do to help with this article, let me know. Accounting4Taste:talk 04:20, 15 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Reference for Bolzano-Cauchy-Weierstrass definition

edit

You gave the page http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/Biographies/Weierstrass.html from the MacTutor History of Mathematics archive as citation for the authorship of the evolving epsilon-delta definition of continuity. But I don't find this mentioned in the MacTutor article: the names of Bolzano and Cauchy do not occur, and the only references to continuity are the mentions of Weierstrass's discovery of a nowhere-differentiable continuous function (a feat also ascribed to Bolzano in their Bolzano article) and of the fact that Weierstrass's approach still dominates teaching analysis today, mentioning the topic "continuity and differentiability" from his Introduction to the theory of analytic functions. Also, some "unreliable" sources like postings on discussion forums (see #9 here) appear to claim that in fact Cauchy's definition was less precisely formulated than Bolzano's.  --Lambiam 09:19, 1 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Charles Frederick Menninger

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Charles Frederick Menninger requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay.

Genome article

edit

Rhetth, Since I unintentionally reverted part of your contribution to the Genome article, I thought I'd look at the History page, and found out that the wording has made two round trips, from "a single set of the genome," to "a single set of genes, or one genome," to the 1st and then the 2nd again. I apologize. But let's work together in helping readers by discussing what wording would be best:

I'll start from your Edit summary, which was "(taking out 'gene' references to genome, since genome is genes + non-gene information (in eukaryotes))". Rhetth, what do you have against using 'gene' references... maybe you can help me by explaining what is wrong with it.

Yes, "genome is genes + ..." as your Edit summary says, and that is exactly the point of the Introduction defining what set(s) of genes the word genome is referring to. What is wrong with that? The readers certainly need a clear definition, right? Or several clear definitions, because "genome" is used in several ways.

Let's work together to improve the whole sentence, with [one genome] in place of our two wordings quoted above: "In haploid organisms, including bacteria, archaea, viruses, and mitochondria, a cell contains only [one genome], usually in a single circular or contiguous linear DNA (or RNA for retroviruses)." Here, what is a single circular or linear DNA? (a single DNA what?) Is it a single DNA molecule? (which would be a chromosome, right?) Or, should we call it a single DNA chain? Or what else could it be?

Now here is my reasoning: In this introduction part of the article Genome, we are defining the word "genome", and one of its definitions is implied in the above whole sentence. I hope you don't think it is already a good enough definition to help the readers?

In haploid organisms, a cell contains a single circular or contiguous linear chain of DNA (or of RNA for retroviruses), is that right? (I don't really know...) And this chain of DNA (/RNA) can be called a genome, is that right? Below, I'll assume it and I also assume you know this subject better than I do, so you get to reword the whole sentence to correctly define this use of "genome": (And I'll help you by giving a sample rewording that is very close to the current wording, as follows:)

In haploid organisms, including bacteria, archaea, viruses, and mitochondria, a cell contains only a single circular or contiguous linear chain of DNA (or else RNA for retroviruses), which is likewise referred to as a genome.

Please do use this gene-less version, or improve upon it, as you see fit, For7thGen (talk) 00:37, 16 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Bioacoustics

edit

I don't think the article about bioacoustics is the place for such a detailed explanation of the physics of sound. We have other articles for that, so it's better to just point the reader there via wikilinks. You should also keep in mind the conventions about writing style - you don't address the reader this way ("...if you are a person...") in an encyclopedia and rhetorical questions ("...where can they go?") also don't have a place here. — Yerpo Eh? 07:58, 11 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I agree the phrasing is a little un-encyclopedic, but I felt the topic had not been addressed in any other article (I couldn't find any other near field and far field explanations), and these topics are very relevant to biology, so I put the info in bioacoustics. Since there is no good organization for vibrational communication and the mechanisms involved, I put the info in bioacoustics under animal sound. So maybe this section can been seen as a 'starter' section, and down the line, when the section or topic is more mature, we can get away from the informality and introduce more formal grammar. This was my intention, and why I wrote it that way. In all other respects, I agree with you, and thanks for the notice. Rhetth (talk) 20:29, 14 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:Flop2.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Flop2.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 19:23, 25 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:40, 19 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Your draft article, Draft:Astaciculture

edit
 

Hello, Rhetth. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Astaciculture".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! Majash2020 (talk) 22:32, 19 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Carried Away (book) moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Carried Away (book), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Thanks for uploading File:Cover of book Carried Away by Alice Munro published by Everyman's Library.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:35, 27 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
