Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 02:42, 16 February 2010

In general, I prefer conversations about specific articles to be held on the corresponding article talk pages, so that other editors can follow them too.

If you are referring to a particular edit, it is best to use a diff link.

I usually reply here. I am often working on several things at the same time, so if I haven't answered yet even though I am online and editing elsewhere, please have some patience - if it is really urgent, prod me with a follow-up message.

Re:Quantum Mechanics - Theory Section

High on a Tree, I noticed that you reverted my minor edits of the Quantum Mechanics Theory section. Here's the relevant edit:

http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Quantum_mechanics&diff=next&oldid=275044825

First, I understand if you don't like or understand the phrase, "To wit" but it is entirely appropriate to use it in the opening sentence of this paragraph. The Wiktionary even has a reference to it that illustrates my point, "Originally that is to wit (that is to know), from Old English witan (verb) (to know, to be aware of)", and "(formal) That is to say; namely; specifically." This is an adverb that can be used both at the beginning, and in the middle of, sentences to specify something, as illustrated in the Wiktionary definition here. (http://en.wiktionary.org/to_wit)

Secondly, I'm curious to know why it's not acceptable to refer to the electron states in the note about spherical symmetry. Aren't we writing this for the uneducated reader, and not someone who will already know that implicitly? I have an extensive background in physics, but I am always interested in removing ambiguity from articles by stating some things explicitly.

I'd be interested in your thoughts, as I am somewhat new to the editing side of Misplaced Pages. Thanks.

Sincerely, Stentor7 Stentor7 (talk) 22:31, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello Stentor7. First, please note that I was mainly concerned with reverting the edits of User:Kroflin, not yours. But since your edit had already happened after those, I had to decide if I wanted to make the little extra effort to keep your edit or not, and mainly because of the "To wit" I didn't see it as an improvement. Let me explain:

I know what "to wit" means and I don't doubt that your use was grammatically correct. However, it always refers to what was said immediately before (the "That" in "That is to say"), and I could not see how the statement There are numerous mathematically equivalent formulations of quantum mechanics is a more specific version of the previous sentence (the last of the Quantum mechanics and classical physics section), which said that the laws of classical “Newtonian” physics still remain accurate in predicting the behavior . So "To wit" would have implied a relationship which was not there, confusing the reader.

As for the clarification "of the electron", I thought it was obvious that this sentence in brackets was still about the electron example described in the previous sentence - from the language and the use of brackets alone, without knowledge of quantum mechanics. But I don't have a strong opinion about this and if you still feel that this clarification improves the article, I won't object if you re-add it.

Again, I didn't see your edit as very problematic and perhaps I wouldn't even have bothered to revert it if it hadn't been mixed up with the other user's edits already (which I did find quite problematic, but that is another story). Since you say you are new to editing Misplaced Pages and seem to be a thoughtful and attentive person, I want to encourage you to read the beginning paragraph of Misplaced Pages:Be bold - if some of your edits get reverted, don't take it personally (it has happened to just about every Wikipedian; as long as you are prepared to listen to other users' objections and work with them toward consensus, you should be fine).

Ja Rule discography

About 60.240.30.161 he's been always reverting my edits putting in the wrong chart positions and the wrong sales/certifications. I even left a private note warning him to do so. He doesn't look at the history or pay attention to private notes, he keeps on vandalizing the page. Here's the link for the abuse report http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Abuse_reports/60.240.30.161, I'm asking you to investigate on the amount of times he's been vandalizing the page, and he will not stop doing so, even after your previous edit. He should be blocked right now. Hometown Kid (talk) 07:40, 13 March 2009 (ET)

Probably your report didn't get attention because it wasn't listed on Misplaced Pages:Abuse reports. But that is the wrong page for this kind of request anyway - it is concerned with cases where the ISP of that user should be contacted about abuse, not for simple blocking. For that, Misplaced Pages:Administrator intervention against vandalism is a more appropriate place.

These fakes seem to be a really common problem especially in hip hop related articles. I recommend reverting all changes and additions of sales/certifications which do not cite a reference - see WP:BURDEN.

For RIAA certifications, there is a little trick to get a reference link which can be verified directly instead of having to do a new search in their database: After entering album or artist name in the search form, the little link called "First" on the results page will give you a stable link to these search results.

Hi Haeb,

long time no see, un jetz hockste bei die Amis? Na aber und wie. Dicken Job gekriegt? Sag mal, du Vaterlandsverräter, könntest du nicht mal den NYT-Artikel helfen aufzupäppeln? In geschichtlicher Hinsicht meine ich. Und in der deutschen WP-Ausgabe. --Bonzo* (talk) 14:30, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

User:Gouryella block

Since you've been dealing with User:Gouryella as well, would you mind commenting at Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard#Gouryella_bad_images? I wonder if an indefinite block was too harsh. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 05:19, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

It seems the matter has already been reviewed and concluded by FisherQueen. Maybe a month would also have been sufficient (as the user did some productive article editing), but on the other hand these copyvio uploads have been going on for more than a year (I myself first warned the user in May 2008) and the optimal time for a mere warning block has long passed. Thanks for taking care of this situation. Regards, HaeB (talk) 22:44, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Doug McKenzie (magician) article

HaeB, I was wondering why you keep adding the advertisement and 3rd party reference tags to this article. The page isn't selling a product or service and does not attempt to do so. The sources cited in the article are also extremely reliable 3rd party sources. (Broadway's Playbill, IMdB, The Conjuring Arts Research Center - an extremely reputable and celebrated source in the magic world, and The Big Issue Scotland - with weekly readership of 670,000 people in a country with 5,000,000 people.) I don't understand your insistence. Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.190.247.10 (talk) 16:30, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Would you please habe a look at Talk:Kim Schmitz? Thanks. --78.34.4.52 (talk) 16:14, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Kim Schmitz Talk Page

Dear HaeB,

Further to your comments on Misplaced Pages entry for Kim Schmitz on 3 April, the content has now been edited section-by-section, input has been received during this process, and this has been taken into account in the version that is currently shown at the bottom of Discussion Page. As there have been no further comments since this version was uploaded, it appears that the editing process is complete. However, I appreciate that Misplaced Pages place an important emphasis on establishing consensus, so I wonder if there are any remaining steps to be taken prior to uploading the revised version to the main Article Page. I look forward to hearing your thoughts. --Tturner2009 (talk) 03:53, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

A note re: Talk:Rorschach test/2009 consensus review

Please be advised that I have recently conducted a review of the Rorschach test (formerly Rorschach inkblot test) talk page and archives. At some point, you have commented on the issue of the display and/or placement of the Rorschach inkblot image. Based on my understanding of your comment(s), I have placed you into one of three categories. I am issuing this note so that you can review how I have placed you, and to signal if this is an appropriate placement and/or to make known your current thoughts on this matter. You may either participate in discussion at the article talk page or leave a note at my talk page; but to keep things in one place, you should also clarify at Talk:Rorschach test/2009 consensus review/addendum. Longer statements may be made here or quick clarifications/affirmations based on several pre-written statements can be made here. Best regards, –xeno 14:55, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

• Further to the above, we would appreciate if you could briefly take the time to place yourself below one of the suggested statements here. If none of these statements represents your current position, please compose your own or simply sign "Not applicable" under "Other quick clarifications". Likewise sign as N/A if you do not want to participate further in this debate. If you choose not to respond then you will likely not be counted with respect to further consensus-determining efforts. –xeno 14:52, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Removal of PROD from Carplan T-Cut

Hello HaeB, this is an automated message from SDPatrolBot to inform you the PROD template you added to Carplan T-Cut has been removed. It was removed by Tetglawson with the following edit summary '(this is only a description which can be checked by the sources)'. Please consider discussing your concerns with Tetglawson before pursuing deletion further yourself. If you still think the article should be deleted after communicating with the 'dePRODer,' you may want to send the article to AfD for community discussion.

Signpost help

Thanks for expanding the upcoming article on Jimbo/Sanger/Calacanis. I'm not sure I've seen you around the Signpost much (though I'm pretty new myself) but your help is welcome. - Draeco (talk) 05:41, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Glad I could help. For a few years now, I have been submitting suggestions to the tip line and editing stories in preparation every now and then, but only in 2009 did I start to write a few stories myself with byline. - About the current article: I was not sure if the story is newsworthy enough to be covered in the Signpost, as there was not much new information about the controversy itself, but Calacanis' "Misplaced Pages worse than Manhattan" comparison makes it at least entertaining. I still feel a bit uneasy about neutrality here, as we are essentially only presenting the arguments of one side, but perhaps it is safer to err on that side in this case.

Hello HaeB, you removed this image from the Stanley Pons article, saying it was "used without a valid fair use rationale here".

Please keep your reverts apropos...

Reverting one cite may be OK, but reverting both seems a bit odd. Sukiari (talk) 10:07, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

I explained both in my edit summary. Please make sure that the sources you cite actually support the statement that they are cited for. See also Talk:Climatic_Research_Unit_e-mail_hacking_incident#Threats_of_violence and be aware that you are already in violation of WP:3RR.

What part of undue weight do you not get? 63.215.29.202 (talk) 19:11, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

You (or The Red Peacock) did not say anything about undue weight, you blanked the whole section and even the whole article without explanation - despite warnings on your talk page by several other users. You should explain your concerns on the talk page of that article.

Dick Morris

I removed that section because the link is dead. Showtime2009 (talk) 20:01, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

I assume you mean the Globe and Mail link, which is indeed dead (although it seems to have been alive recently - it still turns up as a Google search result). Thanks for catching that one. But The Globe and Mail is a printed newspaper, and a link to an online version is not strictly necessary to quote an printed article. See WP:SOURCEACCESS.

And what's more, the section that you removed cites two other sources which continue to be available online.

Ultra Records

Hi HaeB,

Thank you for your note re: Ultra Records. I'm not connected to them. I just started trying to contribute more to the site and figured I'd start with what I know best, which is dance music and, more specifically, their artists. I will definitely take a look at the links you sent over, though I thought any changes made were neutral and reliably sourced.

Regarding the mass add of ultrarecords.com, would it be acceptable to link to the specific artist page on their site rather than just the site in general, as that is one of the more reliably sourced and informative links (usually) for most artists?

Thanks for your time,

Mendle44 Mendle44 (talk) 06:37, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Mendle44,

thanks for your understanding, and you are welcome to improve Misplaced Pages's dance music coverage.

You may have noticed that another user has already removed most of the links that you mass-added.

But as I said on your talk page: If there is a subpage on ultrarecords.com with a substantial amount of good information about one particular artist, a direct link to that subpage (this is called a deep link) might be appropriate in the article about that artist. It is always preferably to directly add that information to the article though (citing the web page which contains it as a reference, like you already did with the DJ Magazine poll).

Recent Smarandache edit

I agree that removed material requires some explanation, so I agreed with your recent edit. Nonetheless, I reverted it (except the tag) because I think there is good reason to delete this particular material and I gave the reason in my edit summary. Phiwum (talk) 22:04, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Real Climate

What should I call the blanking of sections of sourced material if not vandalism? Please revert your edits they do appear to be in bad faith to me. (LVAustrian (talk) 19:10, 3 December 2009 (UTC))

Look, of course you have the right to disagree with Stephan Schulz' edit, but to call it vandalism amounts to accusing him of intentionally damaging Misplaced Pages, instead of merely holding a different opinion than yours. That is not acceptable. See also Misplaced Pages:Assume good faith and Misplaced Pages:No personal attacks. Regards, HaeB (talk) 19:15, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

You deleted the critical section. I restored it so the article as equal weight. I think your deletion may have been an accident.(LVAustrian (talk) 19:16, 3 December 2009 (UTC))

Misplaced Pages:Wikiquette_alerts#User:HaeB_-_edit_warring Gerardw (talk) 20:34, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

As LVAustrian's complaint seems to have been declined already, I'll just note here that his accusations of belonging to "administrators and or mediation cabal members", or having been involved for the article for two years, or having it made a "full time job is to watch climate change articles", or having a COI in this matter do not apply to me. I also find his vandalism accusations at Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/Edit_warring#User:LVAustrian_reported_by_User:KimDabelsteinPetersen_.28Result:_.29 quite unfortunate given that I had already asked him not to use that term for good-faith edits above. Regards, HaeB (talk) 01:43, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I didn't see anything there, as I indicated ]. I was just flagging it here because I didn't see evidence LVAustrian had notified you like the WQA instructions ask. Regards. Gerardw (talk) 01:56, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

RealClimate

I am quite familiar with weight policy. I will not edit the page again today, but if the concerns remain tomorrow, I will re-add the POV tag until the issues are resolved. There are at least 2 established editors who have aired this concern. My view is this: on the topic of political content of a blog, a Guardian opinion from a climatologist involved in the GW debate carries as much weight as a SA magazine award (which is, after all, an opinion as well). You may not share my opinion, but please do not insinuate that I do not understand policy. ATren (talk) 21:12, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi ATren, I was referring to your argument "as long as one view is included, we should not exclude the other", which in itself precisely ignores weight policy as it is explained on WP:UNDUE. The "after all, an opinion as well" argument that you are presenting now is also beside the point of that policy - of course they are both opinions in the end, but that doesn't imply that they must carry equal weight.

I disagree with your argument that a one-sentence remark in an opinion article by a former climatologist (who, according to the director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy lacks scientific stature and "has published little if anything of distinction in the professional literature, being noted rather for his shrill op-ed pieces ...") carries the same weight as the collective opinion of the editors of one of the oldest and most respected science magazines.

But as I indicated in my comment, I will respect the insertion of the tag if it is done with a justification that is at least formally in line with policy.

Regards, HaeB (talk) 01:43, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

HaeB, two points:

1. The text in question is about the political content of a blog. One source gives the opinion that it is objective, the other says it has political overtones. When judging political overtones, there is no special qualification that the editors at SA have over Michaels. In fact, by virtue of Michaels being more involved in this debate, it could be argued that he is more qualified to judge political nuance.
2. You neglect the fact that it was published as an opinion in the Guardian. The editorial board at the Guardian selected, reviewed, and approved this opinion for publication. That gives it weight. It's also worth noting that George Monbiot writes for the Guardian, and his criticism of GW skeptics is frequently quoted in the BLPs of those skeptics, despite Monbiot not being a scientist. I myself have supported the inclusion of Monbiot opinions in GW skeptic BLPs. If non-scientist Monbiot's opinion is sourced throughout multiple skeptic bios, Michaels' opinion should be usable here.

ATren (talk) 02:30, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Regarding your first point, I think most people would see it exactly the other way round - that someone who has been criticized by RealClimate is lashing out at them in retaliation is not surprising. An independent judgement by someone not involved in such a debate is generally regarded as more valuable.

Your second point is a straw man, the issue wasn't if the fact that Michaels had uttered this opinion was reliably sourced, but if it be should given equal weight with that of Nature etc.

It might be worthwhile to re-read WP:WEIGHT and apply your second argument to the example given there, the flat earth concept. There are countless highly reliable sources reporting that view. Take , for example - to adapt your argument, "The editorial board at the BBC selected, reviewed, and approved this opinion for publication". Still, that does not justify its inclusion in the article earth.

Regards, HaeB (talk) 12:09, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Global warming is not flat earth. There is a world of difference between scientific consensus and scientific fact, and the fact that pro-AGW editors continue to bring up flat earth perhaps reveals the root of the problem here. Yes, if this were a flat-earth discussion, I would agree with you on weight and fringe, but it's not. There are at least a half dozen ways I can show beyond reasonable doubt that the earth is curved. The level of validation for the AGW hypothesis, while compelling, does not begin to approach that. We don't see incontrovertible evidence of AGW during a lunar eclipse or in photographs from space. It rather involves incredible amounts of data, analysis and interpretation to conclude AGW. Apply the flat earth weight standard to GW is just as wrong as it would be to start adding extensive flat earth content to the earth article. There are shades of gray in controversial topics such as this, and we need to realize that. ATren (talk) 16:25, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Another straw man - of course I did not say that "global warming is flat earth". I just pointed out that your second argument above is flawed because it would apply to contemporary flat earth concepts as well. The reason I chose flat earth for comparison was simply that it is the example mentioned in WP:WEIGHT, not that the "pro-AGW editors" cabal told me to.

I think that to continue this discussion, Talk:RealClimate#notable_criticism is a better place, where Apis, Kim D. Petersen, Stephan Schulz and Nigelj have also tried to explain the flaws in your understanding of the weight policy.

Looking over your last 250 edits, it appears that since at least the end of September, your Misplaced Pages activity has consisted almost exclusively of fighting over climate change related topics. Being constantly involved in such conflicts may have strained your ability to assume good faith, still, I would like to ask you not to make unwarranted assumptions about the motivations behind my edits ("pro-AGW editors").

Regards, HaeB (talk) 18:41, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

I've clarified my statement which implied that you were "pro-GW". I've never said my argument should be applied to flat earth, only GW, which is entirely different. Flat earth is the strawman here. WP:Weight may use it as an obvious example of the policy, but it doesn't mean that the principle is always so black and white as with flat earth. Anyway, the discussion continues on talk if you'd like to add input there. ATren (talk) 19:07, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Regarding my editing statistics, I am more of a depth (as opposed to breadth) person. I don't generally like to get involved in topics until I really feel like I understand them. I've been watching these articles for several years now, learning about GW as I did, and lately I've felt more compelled to get involved with what I perceive to be widespread problems. I have no horse in the GW race; I truly don't care about the debate (though I do care about sustainability, so it's not like I reject the notion of GW. I just don't care about the debate because I'd rather focus on solutions). ATren (talk) 19:19, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Larry Page birth place

One unregistered editor has twice reverted your change of Page's birth place, putting in Lansing instead of East Lansing. Although when I reverted his change the first time I left a note for him to read the Discussion, he either did not read it or he ignored it without reading it. He then reverted again to Lansing instead of East Lansing, and I again changed it to East Lansing and added a note for him to refer to the Discussion page. Since you have taken a lead in editing this article, I am not going to make any further changes to it, so if the user once again changes it to Lansing without any note or discussion, I will leave it to you to decide what to do. Regards.~~Mack2~~ 01:02, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Nobody "owns" a Misplaced Pages article, I just happen to have watchlisted this one. But as I said on the talk page there, I agree that your research looks solid, and it should at least be addressed before making this change again. Regards, HaeB (talk) 16:33, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
