Image copyright problem with Image:TeslaEffect.gif

Hi GLPeterson!
We thank you for uploading Image:TeslaEffect.gif, but there is a problem. Your image is currently missing information on its copyright status. Misplaced Pages takes copyright very seriously. Unless you can help by adding a copyright tag, it may be deleted by an Administrator. If you know this information, then we urge you to add a copyright tag to the image description page. We apologize for this, but all images must confirm to policy on Misplaced Pages.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks so much for your cooperation.

Edit summaries, etc.

Hello,

I appreciate the efforts you're putting into improving the Wireless energy transfer article, but I have two gripes:

• Could you please use edit summaries!
• Could you please combine some of your many small edits into fewer, larger edits in the future, if possible.

Both of these are currently making it very hard for people who have the page on their watchlist to tell what's going on!

Best regards, Oli Filth 14:43, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Question about redirect page usage

Proposed deletion of Factor auctus

The article Factor auctus has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable product.

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. _matic 06:59, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

WTE article

In the WTE article (induction sec), isn't it structures ... s ... for the launching and receiver elements? If I am wrong, please restore. Thanks on you quality work though. --J. D. Redding 20:25, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Tesla beat receptor 02.gif

Thanks for uploading File:Tesla beat receptor 02.gif. 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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 06:21, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Non-free files in your user space

Hey there GLPeterson, thank you for your contributions. I am a bot, alerting you that non-free files are not allowed in user or talk space. I removed some files I found on User:GLPeterson/Beat receptor. In the future, please refrain from adding fair-use files to your user-space drafts or your talk page.

• See a log of files removed today here.

• Shut off the bot here.

• Report errors here.

Thank you, -- DASHBot (talk) 05:02, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

New Art of Projecting Concentrated Non-Dispersive Energy Through Natural Media

This is an automated message from VWBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of New Art of Projecting Concentrated Non-Dispersive Energy Through Natural Media, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.teslaradio.com/pages/teleforce.htm.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) VWBot (talk) 16:38, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of New Art of Projecting Concentrated Non-Dispersive Energy Through Natural Media

The article New Art of Projecting Concentrated Non-Dispersive Energy Through Natural Media has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Copyright violation (copied from http://www.teslaradio.com/pages/teleforce.htm).

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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Speedy deletion nomination of New Art of Projecting Concentrated Non-Dispersive Energy Through Natural Media

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 New Art of Projecting Concentrated Non-Dispersive Energy Through Natural Media requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Misplaced Pages takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Misplaced Pages to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Misplaced Pages:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

June 2013

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to World Wireless System may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 ""s and 5 "<>"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

• page_3601.html "Episode 126: Capacitance and the equation C =Q/V"], Institute of Physics website > Schools and Colleges > Projects > Teaching Advanced Physics > Electricity > Capacitors, accessed September 25, 2008</ref>

Transposer

Hi GLPeterson, thanks for expanding the article Transposer. However, I see that you have changed the word transposer to translator . As far as I know in professional documents the word transposer is preferred for ground station technology. Can you please check if the word translator has replaced transposer recently ? Thanks.

Article length at wireless power

We should probably not devote excess space in an article on historical dead ends tangential to the current state of the art. We probably don't serve the reader well with lengthy quotations from Tesla on how he thought the laws of physics worked, when these are (hem) at variance with the current understanding. The article wireless power is already far too long for its contents and needs to be a concise overview of the field, not just another place to trot out the same old tired fanboy claims (which are already lovingly and minutely detailed in the Tesla-specific articles), --Wtshymanski (talk) 13:42, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

When knowledge, facts, or solutions are sought, there are a number of techniques available from which to select.  These techniques can be ranked according to their effectiveness, from the most certain to the most uncertain.  At the top, or level one, is measurement; but even excellent measurements can be subject to small amounts of error.  Level two is cause and effect.  That's a rigorous deduction based on the laws of nature; on the conservation of mass, energy, and momentum; on Newtonian mechanics, Ohm's law, Charles's law, and all those kinds of relationships.  These techniques for solving problems are not error free, but they do provide reliable and repeatable results.  At the third level I put correlation studies.  These are statistical techniques which allow the drawing of general and reasonable conclusions, but imprecise conclusions.  An example of this is when you hear a conclusion such as 62 percent of the people who eat pistachio ice cream 20 or more times a week tend to gain weight.  The fourth level is opinion sampling.  Conclusions here can be useful, but they are often temperable and not repeatable. . . . — Neil Armstrong

OR and WP:NOTMIRROR

I have noted at Talk:Wireless power the problems with your edits re: drawing conclusions from primary sources and/or using them, or FRINGE writers opinions on them, as statements of fact in Misplaced Pages (see WP:YESPOV). I have also noted, (and noted before at Talk:Teleforce#Proposed Deletion) your ownership of the main sources you are citing, tfcbooks.com and TESLARADIO.COM, which, with wholesale quoting and paraphrasing of these sources, is getting to the point of violating WP:NOTMIRROR. I noted your use of Wikisource for this material. May I suggest following that line of editing for this material instead? Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 02:12, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

It's not getting us anywhere, just reverting each other's edits, and edit warring can get us blocked. I don't understand the rationale behind your edits. If we talk about this, maybe we can figure something out. --Chetvorno
