Image:AmateurRadioAntenna.JPG, inaccuracy in description

Your statement:"These kind of antenna's are today outdated and are slowly being replaced by digital stations working via satellite (Orbiting Satellite Carrying Amateur Radio);" is not quite true.

There are very few radio amateurs are involved in satellite communications, far less than those involved in HF or VHF terrestrial communications.

Most amateur radio activity is analog SSB or CW. In fact the most popular digital mode is Morse code (CW), which is usually sent by hand.

HF antennas are far from outdated. There are a few innovations being made in the field of HF antennas, and many HF antennas are in fact larger versions of VHF antennas. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rjairam (talk • contribs) 19:52, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:XOF.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:XOF.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. 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 Misplaced Pages (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 Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 00:09, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Spam in Guardium

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Guardium, by DarkAudit, another Misplaced Pages user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Guardium is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Guardium, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Guardium itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 21:14, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Oil pages

Just wanted to let you know that I'm having some connectivity issues this week, and dig in again on the oil page changes that you're interested in when I surface again. Waitak 13:30, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

-->OK, I'll hold off on uploading the changes unto the main wikipedia articles untill you get back.

--> I'm sorry but due to the long delay (almost 3/4 of a month have already passed), I already altered the oil pages. I'm sorry if I'm unpatient but I can no longer let those that may benefit from this (Penan) wait any longer. Perhaps silly because my post wont make that much difference but still, even if it accounts for just something i can no longer hold off.

CfD nomination of Category:Catapults

I have nominated Category:Catapults (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) for deletion. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at the discussion page. Thank you. Bencherlite 21:28, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Bash

Hello. I just want to verify that this edit http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Talk%3ABash&diff=156686174&oldid=138015246 by 81.246.161.84, signed KVDP, is by you? --82.182.37.3 (talk) 23:56, 23 December 2007 (UTC) -->indeed it is. If you wish to contact me about it further, look at my blog for contact details. Best regards, KVDP

Ecovillages, Eco municipalities, Sustainable neighbourhoods...

Hey KVDP, I appreciate your initiative in getting some discussion going about these various terms. However, I was dismayed to see that you had already begun to make some of the moves:"Eco municipalities" and "Ecovillage" --> "Sustainable neighbourhood." I note the following:

• The terms "Ecovillage" and "Eco-municipality" are both very well-defined terms, whereas "Sustainable neighbourhood" is not.
• There are ecovillages now on all continents and a Global Ecovillage Network.
• "Ecovillage" gets 287,000 Google hits; sustainable neighbourhood only 9,500.

Thus, I've restored the "Ecovillage" article and have undone your redirect of "Eco municipalities." The discussion at Talk:Sustainable city is an interesting one, and clearly we need to rationalize what we are going to do with "Eco municipalities," "Eco-town," "Ecopolis" and "Eco-city." Let's not forget that editorial decisions are made by consensus. Sunray (talk) 01:05, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

The Longevity Diet

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article The Longevity Diet, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of The Longevity Diet. Gwernol 09:51, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

As noted, you have 5 days to improve the article. This should be enough time to provide independent, published sources and to rewrite the text to avoid it sounding like an advert for this particular diet. Best, Gwernol 09:58, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Possibly unfree Image:Hauteville house comic.JPG

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Hauteville house comic.JPG, has been listed at Misplaced Pages:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the image description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

RE:List of most usable knots

I'm afraid this violates WP:NPOV. I'm afraid it's not up to Misplaced Pages to tell people what the most useable (and check your spelling) of anything is. I could write articles on what the most useable fridges, computers etc. and they would get deleted in an instant. I suggest you incorporate the information into knots while retaining NPOV.

Please stop contributing Survival Wallet relate links

Your username ( kdvp ) and the resulting url for many of your recent additions ( http://kvdp.blogspot.com/ ) indicate a clear violation of the conflict of interest policies of the wikipedia community. Please stop adding these links and assist in removing any remaining you may have entered. Once the survival wallet has been reviewed and suggested by 3rd party sources relating to the topics edited, it may /perhaps/ be added, by someone else. Until then, unless you are adding it to the Survival Wallet article, please refrain. Thanks for all your otherwise good contribs! ∴ here…♠ 05:09, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

October 2008

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Alternative medicine. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Please self revert and justify your changes on the talk page, as you have been asked. Verbal chat 12:59, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Body therapy

I have nominated Body therapy, an article you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Body therapy. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Fringe Theories Noticeboard

Hi, I've commented on your actions on the fringe theories noticeboard. This is a good place to discuss edits and new articles such as the ones you have created, and try to discern consensus. If you would like to justify your additions, this is a good place (as well as any AfD pages). Yours, Verbal chat 13:53, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Body therapy

A tag has been placed on Body therapy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Misplaced Pages:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 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 Misplaced Pages'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. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • 14:43, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Breathing therapy

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Breathing therapy, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Misplaced Pages:What Misplaced Pages is not and Misplaced Pages:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Misplaced Pages or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? QuiteUnusual (talk) 21:45, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Wind vane with compass?

I see you added this to the article Self-steering gear. I am aware of no windvanes that incorperate a compass, nor do I see how it would even work without some sort of electrical componant (such as when one uses an electric tiller pilot to drive a windvane on a compass course). Can you please point me to an example of such a vane? As I dont think they exist and am tempted to remove your edit, but am happy to be proved wrong. Russeasby (talk) 01:10, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Since you did not bother responding I went ahead and removed your addition. Russeasby (talk) 01:28, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Edits to Talk:Appropriate technology

Hi,

Recently you've added a number of suggestions to the Talk:Appropriate technology page which seem to discuss the subject itself, rather than how to edit the article. The comments made in this set of revisions in particular don't appear to discuss editing the article at all - rather, they speculate about different applications of appropriate technology. Per WP:FORUM, this isn't really what our talk pages are for. Please keep that in mind, as off-topic content may be removed from talk pages. Thanks.

Speedy deletion nomination of Comparison of personal aerial vehicles

A tag has been placed on Comparison of personal aerial vehicles requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Misplaced Pages:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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. 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 Misplaced Pages'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.

Removing Speedy at Comparison of personal aerial vehicles

Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles you created, as you did with Comparison of personal aerial vehicles. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please do the following:

1. Place {{hangon}} on the page. Please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag(s).
2. Make your case on the article's talk page.

Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 16:54, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

status

As reviewing admin, I in any case declined the Speedy, because it was not "a very short article lacking context to establish the subject of the article". If anyone wishes to have it deleted they will need to go to AfD, but it is likely that someone will. We have many articles "Comparison of ...", so that is not a reason for deletion. The basic idea for these pages is that the purpose is not to help someone choose, but to provide encyclopedic information as an overview of the subject. Take a look at some of the similar ones.

Comparison of gestures

Hi! I take it you didn't notice that there was a move discussion going on at Talk:Comparison of gestures when you moved it. Could you move the article back to List of gestures, please? I think we should wait for consensus to be formed at the talk page before moving the article. Thanks, Jafeluv (talk) 14:19, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

List of gestures was a WP:Stand-alone list, not a comparison. Please see my discussion at Talk:Comparison of gestures. Cnilep (talk) 16:43, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Please see Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Types of gestures for background on why an apparently duplicate page exists. Note that Types of gestures consists primarily of unique (albeit often poorly-sourced) information, while the former List of gestures, now Comparison of gestures, is a stand-alone list of links to other Misplaced Pages pages.

What's the plan on air coolers and such?

You seem to be in the middle of a big and somewhat controversial re-org. Can you say where the proposal is for this, so we can review and comment? Dicklyon (talk) 17:04, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

KVDP, are you done with your move project? There is material you bulk-moved with the air coolers section that should go back over to the absorption refrigeration section.... like the paragraphs and image specifically describing absorption refrigerators. If you are done, I will move the block back myself. DMahalko (talk) 13:11, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

How can he be done? He hasn't even pointed out a plan/proposal yet. Dicklyon (talk) 17:53, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Ok, for the plan: if we think logically about it, coolers and heaters are best categorised by type (eg solid, gas or liquid coolers/heaters; to the State of matter). An air cooler is a type of gas cooler. However, as they are so widespread still require their own article. The cooler operating by air (now mentioned under "air cooling) is basically a solid cooler. Indeed, in many dictionaries (including Merriam Webster, ...) the incorrect term where the cooling susbstance is used before ...cooler is often mentioned; yielding terms as air cooler, ... for solid matter coolers. However as this is an encyclopedia, we must use a method which works for all our articles.

Thus the solution is simple;

• move the now present air cooling article to solid matter cooler
• reinstate my info for air cooler
• keep the absorption air cooler article (as this type of cooler is very needed to explain air coolers often used in air conditioners, ...) As for the -refridgerator article; I was under the impression that the cooling cycle works both for the absorption air cooler and the refrigeratorn, no ? Keep as is. The absorption refrigerator simply describes the cooler with extra casing.

KVDP (talk) 07:54, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

You should mention the plan at the talk pages of affected articles. I'm pretty sure that that it won't fly at air cooling, where people interested in air cooling as discussed there aren't going to care much about your plans for what to do about cooling air. If you look at books that mention air cooling, none of them appear to interpret it as something that cools air. Dicklyon (talk) 08:09, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Move tag

Hi! When proposing a page move, please remember to substitute the template – use {{subst:move}}, not {{move}}. Also, remember to sign your move rationale with ~~~~ so that the bot can add it under the correct date at Misplaced Pages:Requested moves. Thanks. Jafeluv (talk) 10:27, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

• Hi KVDP. I've just now removed the entry from Talk:Bush airplane. I'm assuming that you used the {{move}} template or... something. Regardless, it was a mess, so if you really feel that the article should be moved then you should redo the movereq correctly (Note however that I don't see that movereq going anywhere. It's not up to me obviously, but I doubt anyone will support it).
  — V = I * R (talk) 20:32, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
  • (To Ω): If you see a badly formatted move request, just go ahead and fix it (the most common problems are missing "subst:" and missing signature). You don't have to agree with the request to fix it – you can oppose right after if you want. But please don't remove malformed requests just because you disagree with them.

    • I did actually try. After getting the edit screen though, I was just faced with... a mess. Essentially needing to delete it in order to recreate it anyway, I just decided to delete it and leave a message here instead. That was kind of lazy, I know, but to be honest while it doesn't actually bother me to do so I just don't see the point of going through the process on this one.

• (To KVDP): Please remember to leave a signed comment after the {{subst:move}} tag to explain why you want the page to be moved. I've added a signature at Talk:Bush airplane, so that the bot can correctly parse the date, but it's still missing an explanation why you want the page to be moved. The procedure is explained here. If you have any problems, don't hesitate to ask on my talk page. Thanks, Jafeluv (talk) 12:00, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Future aircraft developments‎

The article Future aircraft developments‎ has been proposed for deletion. The proposed-deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

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

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} 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. - Ahunt (talk) 15:04, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment - we had some discussion about this over at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Aircraft#Future_aircraft_developments and my aim on WP:PRODing it was to get it either fixed, redirected or deleted, since it isn't of much value as it is! - Ahunt (talk) 13:01, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

I will work on it but could you give some pointers on how I should alter it ? If I decide to move it into the suggested Aircraft design article, I'll need some other info I could use to inmediatelly have a bit of "weight" for the article. Alternatively, I'm also open for other suggestions.

KVDP (talk) 13:11, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

To be honest the topic is so broad that I can't think of a way of making it into a useful article, other than redirecting it somewhere. - Ahunt (talk) 14:37, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi KVDP, I noticed that you copy and pasted the content from this article into the aircraft design article. I do not think that is a solution to the root problem; the problem being that the list is a selective, incomplete list that briefly covers many random topics with little rhyme or reason. There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Aircraft#Future_aircraft_developments, and I think it would be more constructive to discuss this there before any action is taken. Thanks, -SidewinderX (talk) 19:01, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Solar water heating image

Hi, I've taken a look at your image request, and now I have a few questions:

• How exactly is the circuit to the water heater tied in? Shouldn't the water heater be taking partially heated water from the solar or other system, heating it to the required temperature, and feeding the appliances?
• Seeing as we have a municipal water inlet shown, shouldn't the water outlets from the appliances also be shown going to drain?

My "mail me" link works, so drop me a mail to prod me on this one, and I'll do it over the weekend. --Slashme (talk) 17:15, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Move requests

Hi! When requesting page moves, like you did at Talk:Jibe, please remember to sign your request with four tildes ( ~~~~ ).

Human energy harvesting‎

The article you created Human energy harvesting from Energy harvesting contains a lot of non-human energy harvesting. It was easier to follow as it was before. A redirect from Human energy harvesting to Energy harvesting would be desirable unless you want to edit both pages. Thanks for understanding. --141.219.80.55 (talk) 06:21, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Exactly what in the article is non-human energy harvesting ? Allot of subdivisions are made (eg kinetic energy, ...) but they are all generated by a human.

DO NOT do this again. All you did was delete 99% of the information from Energy harvesting and paste it into your newly created article. Either use the move tab at the top of the page, ask an administrator to help, or discuss it at WP:RfD. Your move was very dubious and could be mistaken for vandalism by some editors.

Page move disruption

Please stop doing what you are doing by moving perfectly fine disambig pages to one with (disambiguation) tacked onto the end, as it is against guidelines. You only add it to the end of title when there is a primary topic. GraYoshi2x► 20:19, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Please don't rename articles without discussion

Please don't rename articles without extensive discussion and agreement, as you did with Battery (electricity). This causes extensive work by other editors and administrators to undo the change. --Wtshymanski (talk) 13:17, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure why you would need to revert this, the renaming made the article more cohesive and the name it had (battery (electricity)) wasn't quite good anyhow

Deletion and transwikiing

Hi KVDP - I commented on the deletion debates for Alternative ICE fuel generator & ICE fuel conversion. Unfortunately I don't think they meet Misplaced Pages's criteria in their present state. It's essential to remember that the importance of a topic is not the criteria that Misplaced Pages uses for inclusion (otherwise it would be bogged down in never-ending debates about what is important). If I haven't mentioned it already, see Appropedia:Project:Appropedia is different from Misplaced Pages.

If you want to develop these pages at Appropedia (which is probably the best idea) then the best option is exporting the pages with their history, via Special:Export. I've done this and saved the XML file. Then when imported to another wiki, the contributors can still be seen, since the original page on Misplaced Pages won't be accessible. An admin can import the page to Appropedia, so let me know and I'll do this if you want. --Chriswaterguy talk 02:32, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

I've closed the move requests you made at Talk:Rifling#Move and Talk:Rifled musket#Incorrection, as neither request gained consensus. You also proposed moving both pages to the same name.

Nobel Prize article

I saw that you made a contribution to the Nobel Prize article. It's very nice that you help in trying to make it better. But, I don't see that the section you added was notable enough to be on the main page. It also lacks references etc. If you still want it added feel free to discuss it on the talk page of the Nobel Prize. And please make notes of what you have done when you make an edit. Makes it easier for the rest of the editors to see what have happened. --Esuzu (talk • contribs) 12:16, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to the encyclopedia! In case you are not already aware, an article to which you have recently contributed, global warming, is on article probation.

Also note that the terms of some article probations extend to related articles and their associated talk pages.

The above is a templated message. Please accept it as a routine friendly notice, not as a claim that there is any problem with your edits. Thank you.

Thanks for creating the new article History of global warming, too. I'll add that to the probation. -- TS 17:46, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
