Just out of interest, how much data is currently being stored on Misplaced Pages's servers, as well as across all the Wikimedia projects? ] (]) 16:18, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
:I'm not personally in a position to even be able to estimate it.

== NPOV as a system of communicating vessels ==

Hello Jimbo,<br>Sometimes I have difficulty deciding if some phrase about Misplaced Pages indeed appertaining to you or imagined / built upon by myself. Like with "]" (now in archives of this page, confirmed to be altered by me but overall yours ""Annoying user, good content").<br>This time I'm wondering if you ever compared ] and ]. Something like "one vessel contains a dark blue liquid, the other - transparent, connected together so mixed (] search) - light blue". Did you ever say anything like that or is it my own imagination? --] (]) 17:02, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
:Hmm, not that I recall. I'm going to think about this, though, and perhaps it will come to me over the next few days.
:I just read the entry on "communicating vessels" and it isn't really a mental model that I think fits NPOV. But it is, of course, a powerful idea (in plumbing if nothing else haha!) and I'm intrigued.--] (]) 18:14, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
::Oh, sorry then and the score in Thus Spoke Jimbo becomes 1:1 (this my miss - ]) :-) --] (]) 21:57, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

== AI generated text ==

Wired has an interesting article about the growing dangers of AI generated text possibly being used to manipulate online fora that would seem to be relevant to Misplaced Pages: . Of possibly useful note: "OpenAI and other researchers have released a few tools capable of identifying AI-generated text. These use similar AI algorithms to spot telltale signs in the text. It’s not clear if anyone is using these to protect online commenting platforms. Facebook declined to say if it is using such tools; Google and Twitter did not respond to requests for comment." ] (]) 18:40, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Happy New Year Jimbo!!! I hope all is well with you and your team.


Could you or your page watchers help me with ]? The draft has been declined and tagged up. It was then deleted years ago. I had it restored today after I came across one of his photos. I think he and his photography are fascinating for capturing aspects of New Zealand's transportation and industrial history. His work is in museum and library collections. At least one of his photographs has been used in a book. He photographed Maori sites.
Although Misplaced Pages relies on reliable sources in the news media, sometimes they are not forthcoming in politics-related subjects. I was interested in how the current rate of administering Covid-19 vaccination doses compared to Biden's goal of 100 million doses administered in the first 100 days of his presidency.


I'm sorry I haven't been able to work the draft up enough to get it admitted to mainspace. It does make me wonder about what we do and don't include, our notability criteria, Articles for Creation (AfC) process, and collaborative ethos. Thanks so much for any help or guidance you can offer! Have a great 2025 and beyond. Thanks again. ] (]) 17:57, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
I was able to determine the current rate from data at , which is the website of ] and uses a research team based at the University of Oxford. The data for the total cumulative number of doses administered can be displayed by deselecting "per 100 people" in the choices above the plot. The numerical information from a data point can be obtained by hovering the cursor above a data point on the plot.
:If Godber is not ], which is what the draft reviewers say, then Wikipedians can't fix that. ] (]) 09:37, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
::] is he "notable" and should we have an entry on him? ] (]) 17:26, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
:::I dunno, but ] wrote that the draft did not show significant coverage about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject at that point. ] (]) 19:37, 7 January 2025 (UTC)


== Just wanted to say ==
From the plot, the data for the recent trend of the total number of doses administered in the US up to a given date is: Jan 12, 9.33 million; Jan 13, 10.28 million; Jan 14, 11.15 million; Jan 15, 12.28 million. Thus the current rate of doses administered is 1 million per day, i.e. a rate of 100 million doses in 100 days. So at the current rate, in the first hundred days of the Biden administration there will be 100 million doses administered in 100 days.


You have created something valuable to everyone on the Internet. I'm sure you get this a lot, but thank you. <br>It may sound weird, but Misplaced Pages has helped me through some tough times. We can never thank you enough for this sometimes infighting, sometimes peaceful, sometimes divided, but always united community You are the backbone of the <s>cabal of editors</s> <b>thriving community</b> that is Misplaced Pages.
The 1 million per day rate is consistent with a statement put out by the White House Council of Economic advisers. "As of January 11, the US has delivered the first of two doses to 7.7 million individuals with a rate of administered vaccines now approaching 1 million per day."
I wish I could give you a BarnMilkyWay but no one's come up with that, apparently. (]) &#124; (PS: Have a good day) 00:49, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

:Ok. Not sure why that's relevant on this page, but it is interesting. I suppose if your point is that the 100 million in 100 days matches what is already being done under the Trump administration, it may not be as bold a claim as some think. I'm sure there will be sources to attest to that if true.--] (]) 17:50, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

    Happy New Year Jimbo!!! I hope all is well with you and your team.

    Could you or your page watchers help me with Draft:Albert Percy Godber? The draft has been declined and tagged up. It was then deleted years ago.
