The Towering Inferno

Please refrain from accusing me of 'vandalizing' a Wikipedia page in future. I am not a vandal. I only make changes when I notice a error in spelling, punctuation or a fact I know to be incorrect. Other than that I leave as is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.66.35.14 (talk) 06:55, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Yes, it is clear to me that your edit was not vandalism, but please note that use of BLOCK CAPITALS is discouraged here in Wikipedia. It is regarded as SHOUTING, and we try to co-operate here, not shout at each other. Please continue to correct errors when you find them. Best wishes. Dbfirs 07:29, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

How do we get Modelbane_europa

Hi

We have an issue that this wiki site creates a unmanaged site on Facebook. We have our own site, but this one creates another one that we cant respond to any messages, or change opening hrs...

We have this site

https://www.facebook.com/ModelbaneEuropa/?fref=ts

And want to delete this site:

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Modelbane-Europa/1492390437693290?fref=ts

Facebook isnt to much help one this on.

Kind regards

Ca you please delete user-account "Stefano Gatto 11" I created by mistake?

Ca you please delete user-account Stefano Gatto 11 I created by mistake? I did not change anything in Wikipedia under that account so there isno problem of leaving orphan changes behind. I use Stefano.Gatto instead, which I created years ago. Thank you. Stefano — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stefano.gatto (talk • contribs) 16:07, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

@Stefano.gatto: Because Wikipedia content is licensed under the GFDL and the CC-BY-SA, all edits must be kept for attribution purposes, and so your account cannot be deleted. You do, however, have the right to vanish, which you can exercise by (1) requesting your user page (found at Special:Mypage) and subpages be deleted, by adding the {{db-userreq}} template to them; (2) requesting to change your username to something that is unconnected with you (possibly a random collection of letters and numbers); (3) never logging in to your account again. The "right to vanish" does not mean anyone has the right to a fresh start under a new identity. Anyone who wants to continue editing should request a change of username instead so edits can be reattributed.  Seagull123  Φ  16:58, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Book Creator

I am finding Wikipedia so confusing and hard to use when I work in Book Creator. The Help information for beginners does not help with this.

I have created a book of 330 pages on Earth and Space Science. There are other related topics that I would like to create separate books for. Example: A book on scientists that collects pages of scientists throughout history. I cannot figure how to create a new book. Whatever I try to do, goes into the Earth & Space Science book.

The other thing I find frustrating is finding my book on Earth and Space Science. When I log on and click on Book Creator I can't find a link to my book. I have to hunt for it. Today it showed all the 330 pages in the book and at the top of the page said the book had zero pages.

So I am just completely confused and frustrated. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MactheTeach (talk • contribs) 16:08, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi @MactheTeach, for reference, I believe User:MactheTeach/Books/Earth & Space Science is your book. As you can see at the top of that page, "The Book Creator software has had significant limitations since it was rebuilt in 2014", and there are certain problems with the book creator. I also believe that there is some help available at Help:Books/Feedback. You could make it easier to find the book by creating a link to it at your user page. For your other problems, someone who is more knowledgeable technically will probably have to help you, and if you don't get any more help here, try asking at the technical village pump.  Seagull123  Φ  17:05, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

how to do attached

Wiki I am not sure how to make contact and how or if we can do something good, I hope spectacular. I have many innovations (new concepts) that are not included in Wikipedia, but which have in places Major import and impact. I have not published for fame nor fortune so these are not well known and I am being urged to get wider dissemination before I die (age 81). My health is failing.

These have been presented from about 1980 to 2002 in a series of seminars at Uiversidad Nacional Major de San Marcos in Peru (the premier University in this hemisphere founded 1555) and I hold a permanent Professorship and Nacional gold medal awarded in 2002 for that series of presentations, with many repeats on virtually all topics at other institutions such as Universities and Institute for Advanced Studies.

I am planning to try to re-do an record the most important concepts as there is a new audience now and having DVD’s will allow fast widespread dissemination of the concepts.

This is online at www.nexit.org.

I have past two innovations in Scientific Method (with 3 more in progress) and am the only living person to make contributions. I will provide you with my 7th draft of the expanded scientific method if you wish to help with a final edit clean up for inclusion in Wikipedia. A formal bi lingual release (with recording) is planned in Peru as soon as is practical, it is winter there while not extreme compared to USA my hyper sensitivity to cold is a problem.

Cyclic History (three cycles);; a 700 yr rise and fall of all (many 150) civilizations;; 45 yr cycle of innovation alternating science and humanities (links to 45 yr major war cycles in science part of cycle going back 5000 years;;) and science innovation ~22 yrs; fallowed by Humanities ~22 yrs innovation and third a decade cycle (years ending in 9 are usually lead in USA into depressions). Having these three cycles converts history into a predictive science. Better yet it is a framework against which to learn a unusually coherent and complete picture of ALL history but in micro detail. It is learning tool that should allow fantastic knowledge of 150 past “civilizations and what to do AND WHAT NOT TO DO to stabilize and do away with such negative factors as War (the scourge of mankind) and social extremisms. I think I should propose allowing WIKI to publish edit an index more or less the whole compressed version now at www.nexit.org to make this widely available.

There are several “Progressions” (things that follow one another) a new way of thinking which also lead to finding innovations. Again these can be edited and presented as a new formal was of thinking allowing good choices and avoiding bad to catastrophic ones.

And Physics: There are 7 major and more minor discoveries here that will not be known if we follow the 45 year cyclic pattern until 2135 AD. Yes I have been living and thinking in things normally in the future.

Model of Photon : A photon consists of two “poles” which rotate about one another interpole distance ,d where 6 π 6 d = the wavelength of the photon, λ, and ~ 5768 d =λ The d is also the bond distance in molecules allowing precise stereo chemistry from the measured wavelength some 5768 times larger a “microscope of 5768 in the angstrom range. This shoud have been discovered and used the past Science Cycle. IT needs strong dissemination.

Mass is Quantized,  All known particles are composed of photons and only photons 

in specific resonance states Electrons are 3 photons in λ (wavelength) repeat mode;;; protons are 5 photons in d mode (two sets of two photons with matching opposed phases are two “quarks” making a slight revision to present theory) but this leads to precision calculatons such as Mp/me = 6π5 = 1836.1181.. vs 1836.152701 measured vs 1836.152701 * (For more precision Mp / me = 65 (1+{6/106}) = 1836.152719 adding in a correction from ST Quantum theor below). I list over 50 particles which are unstable but still “photonic”. Space-time is quantized" into discrete units named SPASONS. The spason is pure position in a four dimensional sense (including x,y,z, and t) and does not display the characteristics we call mass or energy, but its properties do give rise to mass and/or energy (force, momentum, and 5 angular such terms) in our macro domain. The spason expressed in space units, x, is about: x = 1.2737272175 x 10 -21 cm (or x 10 -23 meters)(eq 52) or in time units, T, it would be about T = 4.2486966942 x 10 -32 seconds (eq 48). Note the ratio of x/T = C, the speed of light = 29,979,245,619.3 cm/sec (eq 26). This is the boundary or the end of the domain where distance and time have meaning. Between roughly 10-15 and 10-23 meters it is improper to say that we are describing mass or matter, but rather the description of the universe and its properties must be done in terms of space and time variables and pure numbers. Below the domain of roughly 10-23 meters even distance, or time at less than 10 -32 sec. becomes irrelevant and we are forced to use just pure numbers

Cosmology  The initial creation of space-time itself happened 15.387 Billion years ago with first epoch a single Spason then a linear (one dimensional) Spason trail followed by two dimensional, and finally three dimensional Spason filling of a space-time Universe (which was without form and void). Then second epoch the Spasons paired up forming photons, which added to the filling of the space-time structure (“Let there be light”) This is seen by infra red glow about 13.82 billion years ago . Finally third epoch after 13.82 billion years ago photon conjugated to form protons electrons and later neutrons as hydrogen fused to heavier elements and mass = matter was formed which formed stars etc and there was something to be seen. Note Big Bang went away. Out of time and space domains. 

Multi Universe Theory (MUT) (Universes =closed -not open)(Total = D6 = 5.53972 x 10 62 but universes like ours Balanced = D3 = 2.35 x 10 31) TOE = Integrated Theory of Everything (no action at a distance, nor “Fields” =all interactions are local and direct; = and opposite)

Indexing Below space time only pure dimensionless number may be used to describe events-r requires new binary counting system a “natural binary system” where each number is 1 and only 1 binary bit changed from nearest neighbor. Tachyons All events at any specific time in our universe are connected related to all others, but changes happen with each unit of time. These are pure information, (ESP) not limited to C nor space nor time. I believe our mutual cooperation can have major social impact and bnefit. You can do things I cannot do and visa versa. Thus SOS please help me to help you making a major expansion in several branches of knowledge available and thus proving th corecness of the basic concept of Wikipedia free access to knmoledge ( I add in the best format to learn and teach knowledge Nexial techniques.. nexus = connecting things.

Hi @James H L Lawler: Please do not include contact details in your questions. We are unable to provide answers by any off-wiki medium and this page is highly visible across the internet. The details have been removed, but if you want them to be permanently removed from the page history, please email oversight-llists.wikimedia.org.  Seagull123  Φ  19:12, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi James. I'm sorry to hear about your health, but if I understand what you are proposing to do, please do not include any of these new concepts in Wikipedia. This is exactly the wrong place. Wikipedia, as an encyclopedia, is a compendium of articles on topics of knowledge that the world has already taken note of by substantive coverage of the topic in reliable, secondary sources that are entirely unconnected with the topic. Wikipedia is never a proper place for essentially first publication of anything. So, for example, if it was 1915, and Albert Einstein had just published his theory of General Relativity, Wikipedia would properly have no place for it. Because of the type of reference work an encyclopedia is, we forbid original research here. Only if people entirely unconnected with you publish material about your theories at some length in reliable sources, would an article then be warranted. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 19:18, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Also, while this looks very impressive, it seems that your work has not been published yet. This means it is unlikely to be notable, which is required for something to be included on Wikipedia. You may wish to read Your First Article which explains what should be included in a new article on Wikipedia. For your work to become notable, it will need to be published, and reported in reliable sources. I hope this has helped you, and other editors may also wish to comment here and provide help - but if you want any more help, you can ask here, or at my user talk page. I wish you the best of luck.  Seagull123  Φ  19:20, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Password Reset

Wiki Please help!

Hi, my wiki user name is User:Let us eat lettuce. I forgot my password or my password has expired, and cannot use the reset because I have no associated email address in my preferences. Can I have a temp password sent to my IP 72.228.136.47 talk? 72.228.136.47 (talk) 23:14, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

• Hello, unfortunately without an email there is no way to reset your password. Also passwords don't expire, so best bet there is to keep trying? Alternately, you could just create a new account with a similarly spelled name (I think "Let Us Eat Lettuce", for example, with capitals should be considered a different name)...

Hi, Thanks for the answer.. I figured it out!!! How do I associate an email address to my user name? Let us eat lettuce (talk) 00:01, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

@Let us eat lettuce: Go to preferences, in the first screen there is a place to associate your email.--S Philbrick(Talk) 00:12, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

got it, thanks! Let us eat lettuce (talk) 00:19, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
