Disambiguation link notification for February 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Industrial Revolution, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Milling (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

June 2014

Thank you for trying to keep Misplaced Pages free of vandalism. However, one or more edits you labeled as vandalism, such as the edit at Economic growth, are not considered vandalism under Misplaced Pages policy. Misplaced Pages has a stricter definition of the word "vandalism" than common usage, and mislabeling edits as vandalism can discourage editors. Please read Misplaced Pages:NOTVAND for more information on what is and is not considered vandalism. I don't think that user Bobrayner, who has 47,000 edits, will be discouraged, but labeling edits as vandalism in edit summaries does not encourage discussion or collaboration. Thanks. – S. Rich (talk) 17:16, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

It is really censorship by a person with a bias against this theme. Actually that is worse than vandalism.Phmoreno (talk) 17:21, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

So work out an acceptable version on the talk page (as you are). Labeling edits as vandalism or bias or censorship will not help you win the argument or create consensus. If you feel this is a severe problem, go to the NPOV noticeboard. – S. Rich (talk) 17:31, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

Complaints to Noticeboards

Please note that notification templates to editor talk pages say "there is currently...." I suggest you start the discussion first, and then post your notices to the involved editors. Also, on the Misplaced Pages:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard (which deals with article content) and the Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring (which deals with active edit warriors and recent violations of the three-revert rule), be sure to follow the guidelines on the Noticeboards about how to use them. – S. Rich (talk) 18:37, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

I suggest you participate in some of the board discussions just for a bit of practice. Consider the comments, reply as you feel best, and then see what comes about. You'll get a better feel for how the boards work. You might also see why they are sometimes called "Drama Boards". (See: Misplaced Pages:Drama for more.) – S. Rich (talk) 20:30, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

Economic Growth Article

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.
Please take a step back and be careful not to exceed 3 reverts. SPECIFICO talk 21:10, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

I'm disappointed to see that you're continuing to edit that article prior to keeping your promise to read the Barro book. Nothing good is going to come of this. It's better to take an extra week or two and get it right than to continue the same contentious changes which remain unresolved on the article and talk pages.

Hot blast

I have to quibble with at least one of your recent changes; maybe it hangs on the meaning of "good quality iron", but it seems rather misleading to imply that hot blast enabled the use of coke as a fuel when Darby was smelting with coke a full century before Neilson developed the hot blast. Choess (talk) 15:42, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

Great, thanks. Have you ever read Gordon's "American Iron"? Fascinating book on the changes in American ironmaking practice pre-20th century and the frankly rather unscientific way in which the technology developed. Choess (talk) 21:29, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

Inappropriate ((disputed tag)) tags added to Crucible steel

I have removed several inappropriate {{Disputed tag|talk=Crucible steel#Not in agreement with other sources}} tags that you have added to Crucible steel. Information regarding the dispute should added to the talk page for the article. I've copied your text to there, but it does not adequately describe the problem, so you may want to expand on your concerns at talk:Crucible steel#Inappropriate ((disputed tag)) tags removed, discussion of ((disputed-section)) tags ("Not in agreement with other sources").

Your GA nomination of Industrial Revolution

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Industrial Revolution you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of 3family6 -- 3family6 (talk) 21:21, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

Compass and postscript

You added the |postscript= parameter incorrectly to cite web in the article. Per {{cite web}}, postscript: Controls the closing punctuation for a citation; defaults to a period (.); for no terminating punctuation, specify |postscript=none – leaving |postscript= empty is the same as omitting it, but is ambiguous.

Also, you did the quotation marks. Per MOS:QUOTEMARKS, use only typewriter, ie "straight" marks. Bgwhite (talk) 01:41, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Industrial Revolution

The article Industrial Revolution you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Industrial Revolution for things which need to be addressed.

Your GA nomination of Industrial Revolution

The article Industrial Revolution you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Industrial Revolution for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

Defining technology

I agree with your January post on the lede and definition of technology, and would like to start suggesting some major revisions. But I'm intimidated by the wide use of this definition--it starts many of the articles in the Outline of Technology. I would propose an opening paragraph such as this--“Technology” comes from a Greek word often translated as “technique,” referring to individual knowledge and skill in some field. Today the word more often refers to one or more bodies of knowledge and skills possessed by a community. A century ago, it was called a “state of the industrial arts.” Is this talk page the place to do that? Or is there some more appropriate place to open that discussion? Thanks.TBR-qed (talk) 19:40, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Calling a plan good and constructive before circumventing it

At , you asked for recommendations from other editors to improve the article Technology, in part because "At least Productivity improving technologies (historical) discusses modern technology and shows how it affects our everyday lives" . I responded to your request for a plan by suggesting that you "remove the (in my view, very misguided) mash-up of economic history and productivity from your creation at Productivity_improving_technologies_(historical) and use the remaining bits that deal only with modern technology itself to create a new Modern technology article that deals solely with modern technology." , and you called that plan "constructive" and wrote "Your suggestion is good." . However, instead of beginning to implement that plan, it seems like you've renamed Productivity_improving_technologies_(historical) as Productivity (economic history) . Now, instead of having an article here that "discusses modern technology and shows how it affects our everyday lives" without a single coherent topic in violation of WP:SYNTH and WP:NOTESSAY, you seem to be doing the same thing without even having the word technology in the essay's title. None of this matters to me very much, but I am curious about it. At the moment, I'm just wondering what became of our previous plan. Did you change your mind? Eventually (probably soon), either me or someone else will bring your essay, regardless of its title, (and perhaps the others spun off from Productivity#Productivity_articles_with_a_special_focus) to WP:AfD for deletion. I just don't know if I'll be doing you, and more importantly, the encyclopedia, a favor by doing it sooner or later. Please let me know your thoughts about this. Flying Jazz (talk) 14:03, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

Flying Jazz: This is a matter of priorities because I will be unavailable for the next three weeks. The first priority is to address comments regarding the Productivity article, which I am trying to do. That requires the least amount of time and can get accomplished sooner. And time is needed for more time for comments at Talk:Technology. I have not decided to write a modern technology article or to reorganize any other articles at this time. That depends on the outcome of Porductivity.Phmoreno (talk) 15:30, 6 June 2015 (UTC

Substandard content

You and I apparently produce substandard content, according to a brilliant and collegial editor. I'm thinking of starting a club. Perhaps with intense reeducation and proper guidance we can meet that noble editor's unusual standard. Capitalismojo (talk) 15:33, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Motor control circuit in Automation

Apologies, I could have explained that better. I meant that having an external link "see this diagram" in the middle of a paragraph is useless to anyone reading the article offline, or in a printed paper form (cf. WP:CLICKHERE). It makes more sense as a reference, but perhaps a redrawn version of it could be added to the article, if it's particularly useful? Misplaced Pages:Graphics Lab might be able to help. --McGeddon (talk) 13:05, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

The other place for a link like this would be the "External links" section, per WP:ELPOINTS. They should not be used in the body of the article. --McGeddon (talk) 13:56, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Talk:Industrial Revolution/GA2

Hi. I've opened a GAR on the Industrial Revolution article for which you are a significant contributor. I have concerns that it does not quite meet current GA criteria regarding a number of issues, including layout, image use, and inline citations, and that length, prose, and use of external links also need discussing. Following the guidelines at Misplaced Pages:Good article reassessment, I'm letting you know in case you're interested in helping to resolve the concerns, though you are under no obligation to do anything. See Talk:Industrial Revolution/GA2 for more details. SilkTork 15:09, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Due to lack of progress I will close the GAN and delist the article in two days unless someone objects. SilkTork 13:16, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Please leave it open longer. I plan to address most of these issues but I have real world obligations outside Misplaced Pages. De-listing as GA will require some other reviewer to go through the whole process again.Phmoreno (talk) 13:37, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Still no progress on the article, so I have delisted. When the issues have been addressed the article can be nominated again. SilkTork 10:49, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
