| == Why Did You ip Block christs college == | |||
| ==DYK reform== | |||
| I'm glad you removed the Ghumdan Palace article as I was thinking its time for DYK reform and has presented me with an opportunity to do so. This quality issue happens all too frequently and some of the articles going through are rather embarrasing. I've addressed it . As you know I am not at all phased by the DYK process but for the fact I enjoy collaborating with the others, like having a bank of half decent articles i can refer to and that some of the articles are looked over by yourself which is a positive thing as issues may be identified. I must admit that I personally ignore DYK on the front page unless I see an article which looks particularly interesting.♦ ] 11:49, 22 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
| :Most related discussions are localized at ]. My own attitude to DYK has changed over time and I'm spending time on other fronts (] is a recent hobby). What saddens me though it hostility, which is spreading from FAC to DYK - instead of working together and improve, more editors are enjoying scolding each other for any mistake they find instead of fixing it. The collaborative atmosphere of the old DYK is what is worth restoring. ] (]) 12:04, 22 July 2011 (UTC) | |||

| Yeah I agree. But something needs to change. If articles by the most active contributors frequently have problems then the likelihoods of new contributors getting it right is slim. The only value I place on DYK now is collaboration with the others and to just have a bank of articles I can refer to as half decent. Personally I would support scrapping the whole DYK scheme as as you say its not like it used to be, I think it could be replaced with some not too disimilar but much better. Anyway the did you know itself has become redundant as practically nobody is going to know (or care) about most of the hooks going through. If we don't change it we are increasingly going to get complaints and demoralising comments about it to the point that it will have to stop anyway.♦ ] 13:03, 22 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
| :Look at the pictured hook right now (mentioned above): for some people the fact will be all too common, but for others good to know. (The wording was changed, though, I wonder why, to "from text in " instead of "on text from". How can a chorus be "from text"? I am used to "opera on a libretto".) --] (]) 13:15, 22 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
| What did We Ever do ] (]) 06:25, 20 November 2024 (UTC) | |||
| Looking at it again, Ghumdan Palace does have a lot of problems so that was an appropriate yank. As to the shifting wind at dyk in general... The bitey tone of some bugs me. The "dull hook" comments bug me, too, as dullness is quite subjective. But a very positive side of dyk, for the writer, is the relatively fast feedback from a fresh set of eyes... the whole collaborative thing that turns me on. Unfortunately, there is burn out amongst the heavy-lifters. And we lack a mechanism of watching out for and mentoring the newbies. At one time, giving out cookies was a way to say thank you to dyk contributors, certainly a counter-weight to some of the demoralizing statements. --] (]) 14:51, 22 July 2011 (UTC) | |||

| The UN Space Treaty says: The Outer Space Treaty was considered by the Legal Subcommittee in 1966 and agreement was reached in the General Assembly in the same year ( resolution 2222 (XXI). The Treaty was largely based on the Declaration of Legal Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, which had been adopted by the General Assembly in its resolution 1962 (XVIII) in 1963, but added a few new provisions. The Treaty was opened for signature by the three depository Governments (the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States of America) in January 1967, and it entered into force in October 1967. The Outer Space Treaty provides the basic framework on international space law, including the following principles: | |||
| {{Cquote| | |||
| the exploration and use of outer space shall be carried out for the benefit and in the interests of all countries and shall be the province of all mankind; | |||
| outer space shall be free for exploration and use by all States; | |||
| outer space is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means; | |||
| States shall not place nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction in orbit or on celestial bodies or station them in outer space in any other manner; | |||
| the Moon and other celestial bodies shall be used exclusively for peaceful purposes; | |||
| astronauts shall be regarded as the envoys of mankind; | |||
| States shall be responsible for national space activities whether carried out by governmental or non-governmental entities; | |||
| States shall be liable for damage caused by their space objects; and | |||
| States shall avoid harmful contamination of space and celestial bodies. | |||
| }} | |||
| the Important part here is: outer space is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means; ... this means that as I am not a sovereignty, I can make claim. I have made claim. As I own the domain stating such, and I have publically announced it on facebook at a date prior to anyone else doing so. My claim is FIRST.

| :I am learning myself (from editors like Quibik) and am confident in very few GIMP techniques (which are hardly helpful in this particular case). Here, the best cure is to reshoot the image, and I could give trivial advice on that. Is it possible? I also heavily use copy/pasting image parts, combined with healing by the plugin (my most powerful tool after FFT filtering and frequency (wavelets) decomposition). ] (]) 03:35, 28 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
| ::I do plan to reshoot it; this is just a placeholder. Next time will be with a 12MP camera and an empty station. | |||
| :::Resolution is not an issue in this case. Important is to have more light with less reflections and people around. Using a timer combined with a tripod or just anything to hold a camera will help. A DLSR camera would allow faster shooting (and thus less blurring and people around) because it is more sensitive than point-and-shoot cameras and allows to "manually" increase ISO (sensitivity) and open the aperture. ] (]) 04:39, 29 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
| ::I was more just curious on your technique. You claim to still by learning, but you're miles ahead of me. How do you use FFT filtering and frequency decomposition? (I've done FFT in calculus, but not in image processing...) ] (]) 17:01, 28 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
| :::There is no general technique - when you see an image you first evaluate what and how can you improve there. I often make mistakes even at this step and start "improving" what I can't :). ] (]) 04:39, 29 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
| Alright, that makes sense. The resolution issue is mainly to make small details on the sign visible, as I'll have twice the resolution, so with a steadier camera I can take full advantage of those 12 megapixels. | |||
| A tripod is unfortunately out of the question; the MBTA allows no-tripod pictures but a tripod requires a special permit. | |||

If you make steps in this direction, I will re-evaluate, with no obligations, as I can only offer my vote, and am keen to keep long-term harmony among editors (this is more important than one DYK nom). The major concern is self-published sources. They may be used for neutral facts (e.g. where there is no COI in boosting up own achievements). Try to find secondary sources wherever possible.

People don't need to be unwed to experience an unplanned pregnancy or it's consequences, it's just as stressful regardless of their marital status or their age. I hope you can understand.

| Hello. I have been attempting to get ] on board with ] for 3 weeks now, and no matter how many times they tell me they're "chagrined" (] and ] thread), they continue to misuse them and even replace ''good'' dashes with bad ones. I have asked nicely, asked less nicely and issued a direct warning that their continued misuse effectively constitutes vandalism (willfully editing contrary to consensus), but checking if the "sorry" in response to my final warning had meant anything useful, ]. A week after first discussing this with them, and being told that they'd fix their previous errors, I regex searched for their most common pattern, and put a decent amount of time into , but I was playing catch-up. I won't follow this editor around indefinitely fixing every case, so they need to be stopped, but I also recognise that this ignorance isn't blatantly malicious (they do enjoy inserting inappropriate flowery phrases here and there though, when plain English would have been obviously preferable) and they just need to be put straight by someone with some clout, since my efforts have fallen on deaf ears.

| I just wanted to stop by and give my gratitude for for some of the points you have given at the discussion board of DYK. Preparing the queues isn't as fun and easy as many may believe. For all the "hey the queues are running close to empty", it take more than the simple task of copy paste moving the prep to queues. The double checking of all the hooks, random verification of sources in addition to the hook, relying on those preparing the preps to have hopefully have done a double check on verifying the nomination also, copy editing both hooks and articles, searching through the history for the nomination discussion for possible problems, adherence to rules, etc, etc, etc. and then taking a beating for being human and missing something occasionally. I just want you to know I really appreciate your continued dedication to the project. I really keep trying to get back that joy I used to have working there, but it seems to be getting more and more bureaucratic and away from what purpose initially had been; to attract and retain new editors, encourage new material, bring that material to others' attention to help improve that material further, and bring diversity of subject matter to readers' attention. I will get back into the swing of it again in eventually (I hope :-) ) I see valid points raised by Sandy, Tony, and others; and believe they need addressed, but it seems things are coming to a loggerhead.

It took me awhile till I felt comfortable with reviewing nominations against the various policies and guidelines, thru I wouldn't place myself as any kind of benchmark :) There appears to be always be room for the added double checking of previous verified nominations and assembled preps in addition to the queues, so I don't see myself ever leaving completely. ] ] 08:18, 31 July 2011 (UTC) | |||

- @Leo7510, the IP ban is listed as being issued for vandalism. This ban only applies to the IP address - not user accounts - and expires in 3 years. Synorem (talk) 20:50, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

If you have a moment...
could you perhaps look into what has gone on at the Enneagram of Personality page today, primarily in its History section? (Asking because in an earlier season, I was impressed by your work in various contexts.) We believe that the carte blanche reversion was too easy of a response, and threw baby out with the bath. We have no opinion on larger matters at that article—we simply found gross misuse of sources, and rampant WP:OR. We are now accused of editorialising, and of OR ourselves, which simply staggers us.
We won't further egage the reverting editor, as we see no point. But the article is not better for having been returned to its earlier state.
It is our view that the original edit, which was accepted by a registered editor—the article is protected, we do not know whom—should have been allowed to stand, and not reverted by a single editor objecting to the two of us. We suspect bias against us as a non-registered editor.
Surely, some editing of the product should follow. But reversion, so the errors that existed before our edit be returned—we suggest that pursuing that course was the poorest of options, for the sake of a quality article. The edits were not vandalism, were not editorial, and were not WP:OR (as claimed in the all too brief reverting edit summary). Cheers. 71.239.132.212 (talk) 05:26, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Sizo
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Sizo requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either
- disambiguates only one extant Misplaced Pages page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
- disambiguates zero extant Misplaced Pages pages, regardless of its title; or
- is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 15:13, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
Semi-Protection of Lil Dicky
You semi-protected Lil Dicky back in 2019. Now that five years have passed, would you consider lifting the semi-protection? 174.93.89.27 (talk) 17:45, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

IPv6 disruption at Talk:Datta dynasty
Hi, Material, merry Christmas! Could you maybe do a rangeblock that covers the IPv6's at Talk:Datta dynasty? It's getting ridiculous, and I started listing the /64's that would be needed to stop it (since that is the limit of my understanding of IPv6 ranges), but gave up. Perhaps a long page-block of a much bigger range would be the best? Bishonen | tålk 04:01, 24 December 2024 (UTC).
- I have blocked a short range, ping me if they resume. That region is notorious for their vast floating IP ranges. Materialscientist (talk) 14:05, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

Editor misusing dashes dismissive of requests to learn
Hello. I have been attempting to get Kencf0618 on board with our Manual of Style guidance regarding the use of dashes for 3 weeks now, and no matter how many times they tell me they're "chagrined" (1st and 2nd thread), they continue to misuse them and even replace good dashes with bad ones. I have asked nicely, asked less nicely and issued a direct warning that their continued misuse effectively constitutes vandalism (willfully editing contrary to consensus), but checking if the "sorry" in response to my final warning had meant anything useful, I found it had not. A week after first discussing this with them, and being told that they'd fix their previous errors, I regex searched for their most common pattern, and put a decent amount of time into correcting the many I found, but I was playing catch-up. I won't follow this editor around indefinitely fixing every case, so they need to be stopped, but I also recognise that this ignorance isn't blatantly malicious (they do enjoy inserting inappropriate flowery phrases here and there though, when plain English would have been obviously preferable) and they just need to be put straight by someone with some clout, since my efforts have fallen on deaf ears. Hopefully this is enough information for you to make sense of the situation, but please ask for clarification if needed. Thank you. Fred Gandt · talk · contribs 09:56, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

2600:4809:7270:F800::/64 removing pronunciations
Hi, yesterday you warned 2600:4809:7270:F800:B974:A7C9:5E41:9A03 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) that they would be blocked the next time they removed content. They have ignored that warning and continue to remove pronunciations, some of them obviously necessary like Gervis. Today's batch of edits are under the IP 2600:4809:7270:F800:F083:671:4921:D5B8 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). Can you do something to stop this waste of time for other editors? Thanks! CodeTalker (talk) 21:02, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
Old page move
Good day Materialscientist! Back in 2021, you moved Oshana Region to Oshana, undoing a 2009 page move. I cannot find any discussion about this. I would like to undo this, as a) all other regions of Namibia end in "Region", b) its name is so defined by the Government of Namibia, and c) "Oshana" means something on its own: it is a shallow flood plain after which the region is named. Please protest if you're not happy with this move. --Pgallert (talk) 07:55, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Trivial request, please?
Hi Materialscientist, I hope you are having a happy new year? An update template has just appeared on my userpage, and I have no idea of what update is needed, or of how to remove the template. I am not a techie - all my formatting has been learned by copying and pasting the formatting done by others, so that little trick won't work here. So please help? Thanks.
