Pine

Hi Txinviolet - just to let you know, I've moved your addition at pine to plantation, as it is much better suited to that page. It included a fair amount of info that applies to all plantations (not just pine plantations), and which wasn't already at the plantation page (tho' I did trim it a little to avoid some duplication). I also removed the age bands, as those vary so much with climate and species as to be meaningless (some tropical trees, including tropical pines, can be grown on 10-year cycles, while in colder regions, trees may need over 100 years to grow to marketable size). - MPF 23:49, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Noel Hypothesis

A tag has been placed on Noel Hypothesis, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Copyvio - Article consists of nothing but a quote from the source, with no assertion of permission.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Kathy A. 21:52, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:SimulatedReality VoidInTheSimulation.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:SimulatedReality VoidInTheSimulation.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 20:23, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Latest Models of Tracer Guns

Hey Txin,

Saw your section on latest tracer gun models and was very intrigued -- with Rayline going out of business I would love to know where you found those models, as I'm desperately seeking an alternative to the standard tracer gun. If you could email me at cyrusjl@gmail.com, I'd be extremely grateful =) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.215.206.124 (talk) 21:15, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Peer review

Heavens, this seems remarkably thorough! I am not an expert on the history of sewing machines, but I will certainly take a look. - PKM (talk) 23:40, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Vibrating shuttle

Have you nominated Vibrating shuttle for Did You Know on the home page? I'd like to see of we can get it included. - PKM (talk) 19:54, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Not yet, but that's a good idea, I hadn't thought of that. But not yet -- I am still going through reference materials to see what else can be added. Txinviolet (talk) 19:03, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of YS Star

A tag has been placed on YS Star, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Hi Txinviolet, I have just started reviewing your WP:GAN, Singer Model 27 and 127. My comments can be found in, and are being added to, Talk:Singer Model 27 and 127/GA1. Pyrotec (talk) 15:18, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Nomination of Compulsive mechanical stimulation of nociceptor for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Compulsive mechanical stimulation of nociceptor is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Compulsive mechanical stimulation of nociceptor until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 16:35, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Reflection efficiency

The article Reflection efficiency has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This term really isn't used in this context in mainstream literature. The identical wording is used in totally different contexts (different fields) to express efficiency OF reflection (when reflection is desired!) so the word as defined here should really be called "transmission efficiency." But the concept has other problems: it only is quantitatively meaningful when the transmitter has a dynamic impedance equal to that of the transmission line, and in any case it expresses EXACTLY the same information as the SWR (which is not properly dealt with in the article) which IS a very standard and concise term. Better to pay attention to the SWR article, and provide a more thoughtful discussion of impedance matching in articles that link to this term. And note that "efficiency" isn't an appropriate term since it doesn't indicate loss of power in the general case, only "reflected power" which may get reflected back to the load, etc.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hi, please do not take offense, but be careful about introducing non-standard terminology, even if you read it in one RS or multiple sources that it might have been propagated to. Thanks, Interferometrist (talk) 13:47, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:SimulatedReality MormonPlanOfSalvation.jpg

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

If you are the copyright holder for 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 {{permission 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}} 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. Here is a list of your uploads. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. mattbr 08:36, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
