Hey N2e. I'm contacting you because you're involved in the ] in some way, either as a previous newsletter recipient or as an active user of the system. As you might have heard, a user recently anonymously disabled the feedback tool on 2,000 pages. We were unable to track or prevent this due to the lack of logging feature in AFT5. We're deeply sorry for this, as we know that quite a few users found the software very useful, and were using it on their articles.

We've now re-released the software, with the addition of a logging feature and restrictions on the ability to disable. Obviously, we're not going to automatically re-enable it on each article—we don't want to create a situation where it was enabled by users who have now moved on, and feedback would sit there unattended—but if you're interested in enabling it for your articles, it's pretty simple to do. Just go to the article you want to enable it on, click the "request feedback" link in the toolbox in the sidebar, and AFT5 will be enabled for that article.

== Mars 2 ==

Hello. Back in April you added the "Derelict satellites orbiting Mars" category to the article ]. I was wondering if you had a source that states that the satellite is definitely still in orbit, because I've been asked about it on my talkpage. Cheers, ] <sub>]</sub> 21:17, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

:Good question. For the Martian planetary ]s into ], at orbital altitudes well outside the 100-year altitude for an Earth orbit (where Earth has a much thicker atmosphere), the usual view of NASA and Roscosmos is that these will remain in Martian orbit for many centuries. Mars 2 was in an orbit of 1380 x 24,940 km when it ceased operation, an orbit that would not reenter Earth's thicker atmosphere for over 100 years.

:That said, it is doubtful that either NASA or Roscosmos has Earth-based sensors capable of detecting such a dead satellite on an ongoing basis, and I'm certain it would not be cost-effective to mount future science missions to scan Martian near-space to look for it. So I would be rather doubtful that anyone has really "known" precisely where it is since the time the satellite ceased operation. It's somewhat analogous to electron probability space around protons; we know they are there, but not precisely where. Feel free to ask over at ], where a fair number of spaceflight-knowledgeable folks hang out. They might be able to provide some better info. ] (]) 03:07, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

I've drawn up a couple of prototype launch articles to see if they are feasible. They're not finished yet, but could you possibly have a quick look at ] and ] and let me know what you think. --''''']&nbsp;]&nbsp;]''''' 21:03, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

:I like what you've done there. Good to see the progress on the basic infrastructure that will help facilitate any ''launch'' articles that get started following changes to ] have some degree of standardization.

:Here are some general comments:
:*is there a limit in the templates for no. of stages? or can you just keep using "| stage_n = ..."?
:*I'm not clear on how "Target orbit" would work in the templates for a wide variety of launches. I can see a singular "orbit" working when all (or the only) sats go to the same orbital regime, but it seems quite probably we'll be experiencing LEO dropoffs where the upper stage kicks to MEO or HEO or GTO.
:*I very much like how you are thinking about derelicts and debris from the get go. In general, I definitely think we ought to consider in advance how derelict upper stages that remain in orbit for more than a few days ought to be handled in these articles. Perhaps, these launch articles could be the place in WP article space where derelict stages are explicitly to be handled; perhaps not, in which case long-term derelicts would probably warrant a small satellite article of their own. From your LA draft, I'm thinking your are thinking the former; is that correct?
:*The LA approach for showing multiple "artificial satellites" per launch, including derelicts and debris, in a table rather than in an infobox template, seems to me to be the most flexible approach. Moreover, the LA approach seems best able to handle multiple orbital derelicts like the ] mission, which left both the 4th and 5th stages in long-term orbits, I believe.
:*If we do handle derelict upper stages and orbital debris in these articles, are you thinking that AstRoBOt could be modified to handle the orbital element updates?
:*In the LA "Payloads" table, I think it was a real good idea for you to add the ] column!
:*If satellite orbital lifetimes are typically published as part of launch documentation (I imagine they are required for launches licensed from the US, maybe ESA; not sure about Russia), and can be publically obtained, then maybe a column for planned sat orbital lifetime might be useful.
:*In the LA "Objects catalogued" table, I'm curious as to how much of such data might be able to be filled in by a bot? For example, I like the colored background scheme for presentation to the reader, but am wondering how easy it will be for articles to not get outdated if only manual updates are used to set/tweak the background colors, etc. Are the orbital object databases good enough/consistent enough that we ''might'' be able to pick up "type" from the database, along with "name" and the orb elements given either SATCAT or COSPAR ID?
:*I'm not very familiar with the WP articles that track all launches, but I know you and a few other editors do a great job in keeping them up. How much of this sort of summary of each launch might be able to be coordinated with, or bot fed from, the work that already goes into populating those summary articles with proper data?
:*It seems that the "Target orbit" info in the infobox of LA2, or at least the full six-element detail of it, will inevitably get confused with the info in the "Objects cataloged" table. In cases where they overlap, the data will likely be unevenly kept current, and therefore, would be better not to have two locations in the article for such data. So maybe lose the target orbit from the infobox?

:Those are some initial thoughts. Let me know if you were looking for something else, or of course, if you want me to look more closely at some other areas, or other questions you have.

:BTW, if you would rather have this dialogue somewhere other than my Talk page, feel free to move the entire discussion elsewhere and give me a pointer. ] (]) 03:50, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
:Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to respond to all of your questions:
:*Stage lists: I've put six stage fields in for now, which covers every rocket I can think of, however it can be increased indefinitely should it become necessary to have more. In addition to these six fields, there is a separate "upper stage" field to handle launches were the upper stage is a distinct unit but still considered part of the rocket (e.g. Proton-M/Briz-M, Titan/IUS, etc) and "additional stages" to cover stages that are considered part of the payload.
:*Target Orbits: It wasn't needed in either of the examples, but the last field in the target orbit section is called "For". In cases where the rocket deployed satellites into different orbits, this can be used to denote which payload the data applies to - my recommendation is that it should be the last primary payload. In more complex cases, the section can be omitted entirely and mentioned in the body of the article instead. Although the section can display many different parameters, it is unlikely that they would all be present at once - different companies present their target orbits in different ways so I put in enough fields to handle all the regular combinations, but it is rare, for example to see SMA/eccentricity and apses in the same press kit - while it is easy to convert between the two, the idea I had with that section is that it would only show the data that was announced before launch.
:*Upper stages: I think it would be difficult to assert notability for articles about individual upper stages, and short of including a large amount of launch information or a long table of orbit data over time, it would be hard for these to ever get beyond very short stubs. Particularly interesting cases might warrant a paragraph in the launch article, and there's plenty of space to accommodate this. Otherwise the table gives coverage.
:*Automation: I'm looking into how AstRoBot would best be modified to accommodate updating the orbital elements in the table, but I fully intend to provide this functionality in an on-demand manner similar to how the bot currently updates infoboxes. There will be a global opt in for the whole table, with individual opt-in/out fields in the rows (e.g. a launch which placed one object beyond Earth orbit could be fully-opt-in with that one object opt-out, while a launch which dropped one satellite off in LEO en route to escape could just have that payload opt in. With regards other data besides the orbits, the colours shouldn't need to be changed too much - I wasn't planning to recolour payloads as debris once they become inactive. It might be useful to have a bot add new debris when it is discovered, however there is no way to query the HA and N2YO databases directly so short of trawling the entire sites page-by-page at the start of a run, I can't think of a way to find new data, and I can't really support over 75,000 pagegrabs before every run.
:*Orbital lifetime: I'm not sure where this information would be available - and for many satellites the value is more or less infinite - once satellites are high enough drag is so low that they will more or less never decay. To avoid a lot of empty cells it might be better to mention this in remarks rather than as a separate field.
:*List coordination: I think having some coordination between updating a) list, b) launch and c) payload articles would be useful - the problem with a bot is that there is no way for it to know which version is correct. There are plenty of sourcing problems on the timeline of spaceflight articles as well, which shouldn't really be allowed to propagate to the launch ones.
:There are still a few things that need to be ironed out, including:
:* naming the articles
:* what level of detail is required
:* how much of this is applicable to Space Shuttle articles
:* handling launches with thousands of debris objects (e.g. CZ-4B Y2, Kosmos-3M 47135-601, Pegasus F5, etc)
:* the best way to provide links to launch articles in payload articles, launch lists for that type of rocket and the timeline of spaceflight

If a new ] that supports having launch articles under some circumstances, I believe the ''best'' place for the derelicts to be recorded on the English Misplaced Pages is in the objects table you have proposed for these launch articles. Having said that, I do believe that a long-lived derelict rocket body, orbiting in the near-Earth orbital area for years/decades/centuries is likely sufficiently notable not for a separate article but for making the ''launch'' article notable that would, ostensibly, include the derelict orbital elements, if they are known and can be cited.

::*On Target Orbits in the infobox. I'm ambivalent. Given the complexity of the various missions with diverse multi-satellite (primary and secondary) payloads, I'm thinking we may just be making a future cleanup mess by attempting to include the "target" orbits in the infobox. If I'm right, then would be better to allow the target orbit(s) to be discussed in article prose, and keep the launch infobox cleaner.

::Cheers. ] (]) 12:37, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
:::I would consider long-lived upper stages notable, but I think it would be difficult to convince the rest of the editor community of this, particularly those not involved in the field of spaceflight.

They will not stay "under the radar" forever.

== Lynx ==

N2e, if you could just hold back on trying to nail the article down to some fixed point, that would be great. Misplaced Pages articles change, they mature with collaborative input, they get better. The Lynx article has some major problems, particularly in sourcing, and we're going to fix them. I'm particularly heartened by the interest shown by '''all''' editors in improvement. Now, I try not to be wedded to any one viewpoint - none of us "owns" the article and if evidence or consensus moves away from my preferred position, that's fine. I'm often wrong. But the big thing is that we have robust, fact-based discussion, we play by the rules, we work together. It doesn't help us move the thing forward by being overly fixated on any one preferred version. I wasn't wedded to "concept", nor am I committed to "program". I'm flexible and I'm concerned that you aren't. That's not an attitude that can work in a collaborative environment such as Misplaced Pages. Attachment necessarily leads to conflict and unhappiness.

Certainly I'm playing devil's advocate here, but within myself I'm as big a spacenut as anybody.

The bottom line is that Misplaced Pages isn't about any one editor. Not me. Not you. It's about coöperation.

Lastly, let me commend to you the words of ]: ''Three things in particular patience teaches us, it seems to me: first, that you should be willing to bear cheerfully the ills that nature herself bids you bear unwillingly; second, that you should make those things that fate has decreed to be inevitable, agreeable to your own will; third, that you should turn any evil whatsoever into good, which is the office of God alone. in the first of these, patience requires you to oppose nature, in the second, to confound fate, and in the third, to raise yourself to the level of God.'' --] (]) 22:11, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

:Couldn't agree with you more, Skyring/Pete, patience is a virtue.

:I've been working on that daily for a couple of weeks now, endeavoring to be steadfastly ] with you, and constructive in working to improve the article content, despite your generally disruptive editing, your edit war on the first ], your ] (all of which have not been supporting either your specific edits, nor of your disruptive actions), your ] of a notable and sourced article (on which you received ''no support'' from over a half dozen uninvolved editors), and your repeated refusal to allow an article to rest in a base state (for the benefit of our readers, and also per ] process) during an active ] cycle on the Talk page.

:So I will continue to stay civil. And, as again today, I will refuse to edit war with you. But I will call out your repeated refusal to comply with standard BRD process, when you insist that your Bold edits should stay despite multiple other editors on the Talk page telling you they should not. I'm rather ], one article at a time, and ] appears to be a ''very'' active place to be doing that just now. Cheers. ] (]) 02:08, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

== Subscription template ==

Hey N2e, thanks for placing those Subscription templates, but note that you've been placing them ''inside'' the citation template. Might want to move them outside for display purposes, and so there's no potential muckups for future formatting. <span style="white-space:nowrap; text-shadow:gray 5px 3px 1px;">— ] <small>(] ] ])</small></span> 15:46, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
:Oh, bummer. I really tried looking up things like "WP:subscription required" and "WP:CITE" and "WP:citation templates" before I did that, searching for "subscription required" before I made the edits. Couldn't find anything. (which may be a deficiency worth fixing if you know how best to do such things...)
:In any case, I finally just located another use in some article of {{tl|subscription required}} and used that format. I also carefully checked my first use to ensure it looked okay in the article. All the changes I made seem to show the info about the paywall and subscription required just fine. Is there some bot that can detect whatever you think may be wrong, and do the magic to put the {{tl|subscription required}} info in the correct place?
:I'll be sure not to so locate them inside the ''cite'' templates in the future.] (]) 01:18, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
::P.S. Only after I started the updates to reflect that newspacewatch.com has gone to a paywall business model, only then did I see at least one instance somewhere (don't recall where) where someone changed a {{tl|subscription required}} inside a citation template to a <code>"|subscription=yes"</code> parm/value pair inside the cite template. Don't yet know if/how that is preferred to the {{tl|subscription required}} approach, but it looked promising if I ever need to do a bunch of these cleanups in the future.
::So net, there is a LOT I don't know about this. But I do think that any known paywall-source is worth noting, and maybe some archiving bot will figure out how to find the old sources through use of the wayback machine or some such technique/technology that I'm not particularly knowledgeable about. I thought flagging these was important, especially since I probably am the editor who added a lot of the newspacewatch.com cites to those many articles, as it's on my regular reading list, and for many months did not have a paywall in place. Unfortunately, with the paywall in place, I'm hardly ever sourcing anything to NewSpace Watch any longer as I don't think paywall sources are optimal for Misplaced Pages.] (]) 01:18, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
:::I completely agree...I won't be using that site again. It ''is'' rather on the fringe of awareness anyhow, with Space.com and NASA Spaceflight being far more prominent. As for the display issue, when placed inside the "cite ..." template, the tag gets stuck inside whatever parameter it was with. For example, placing it like "<nowiki>|date=2013-05-07 {{Subscription required}} }}</ref></nowiki>" renders as "Lindsey, Clark (2013-05-07 <small><font color="#666666">(subscription required)</font></small>)." However, I was unaware of the {{para|subscription|yes}} parameter, which after testing shows itself to be '''perfect''' here, since it includes a mouseover note stating that "Sources are not required to be available online." I would definitely recommend it in the future, and I'll go through and fix the misplaced templates now. <span style="white-space:nowrap; text-shadow:gray 5px 3px 1px;">— ] <small>(] ] ])</small></span> 04:09, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

:No, not an admin. But I'll try to get over there and take a look in the next day or so. ] (]) 15:11, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

:Hi, n2e. It's great to have someone with an econ background looking at the Suburban Express article. You've proposed some sensible changes. But, as you can see, CorpM has a very strong point of view. The Suburban Express story is about a 19 year old kid who attacked incumbent Greyhound, decreased fares, increased frequency, and decreased travel times and then weathered attacks based on regulatory capture, predatory pricing, and (not covered in any press) harrassment by the Chicago Transit Authority, which leased space to Greyhound. It is novel in that S.E. sidestepped economic regulation which was designed to ensure legacy carriers (greyhound, et al) a fair return on their investment but which had morphed into a system that supported inefficiency, high fares, and lousy service. Since you teach, I imagine you can appreciate the issues we have with students trying to get what they want, regardless of the agreement they have with us.

e have battled all sorts of fraud during the course of our history - people making fake tickets, tons of bad checks, people passing their receipt out the bathroom window to a friend who then tells driver he is getting back on, and so forth. Fraud has lead to collection action of various forms, and it recently got some negative press because a small handful of nasty little assholes decided to devote their lives to trashing us. Their actions have not impacted ridership, but they have frustrated my employees and I by trashing us online wherever they get the chance. My instincts tell me that the user who is most committed to injecting POV into the article was contacted by one of the haters, who works in PR for the university and has contacts in that world.

The supposed "controversy" is a mish-mash of different issues that the haters are promoting, all rolled into one: 1) we filed 100ish small claims suits in a short period of time. the number was unusual because we had about a 2 year backlog of debts to collect; 2) A subcontracted driver was rude to a student who does not speak english. He was promptly reprimanded and we sought to apologize to the passenger, but did not succeed in identifying her. A loudmouth narcissistic attention seeking student who was on the bus posted the story to facebook from the bus and spent every waking moment posting the story everywhere he could. 3) This led to a situation on Reddit where the loudmouth and his friends were trashing S.E. as best they could and the moderator started manipulating the conversation, by deleting comments made in support of S.E. That got out of hand and our attorney sent a demand letter to the moderator. The moderator then exploited free-speech bloggers and caused the BIG STORY to spread. Self-interest came into play - Reddit is owned by conde nast. Reddit benefits from awareness of reddit. Reddit can only exist if users are free to say whatever they want. Conde Nast also owns Ars Technica. Ars Technica wrote several blog posts about how horrible SE is for trying to suppress free speech on reddit. See how this works? Downstream lower-quality blogs regurgitated the free-speech story.

Two of the haters, now armed with SOURCES, took to Misplaced Pages and transformed this https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Suburban_Express&oldid=542659074 into a very skewed mess. Then the problem became recursive - bloggers mentioned wikipedia, which led readers to trash the wikipedia page even more. Wiki editors cited the articles that cited wikipedia and the list of blogs that had covered the matter grew and grew. Now, the haters assert that the body of trash-news justifies giving the trash significant weight in the article - to the point where the real story of the company is pushed out. You can see this in corpm's proposed edit. He wants to remove from the lede the fact that the company was started by a student, and other key facts.

In any event, I applaud your efforts to move the article in a more academic direction, and I'm glad that someone with an econ background has arrived on-scene. You may find some stuff here interesting: http://www.toeppen.com

Hi @N2e:

I guess you think Tesla site

NACS adoption timeline

"...citation at the top of a table section is always out of date and fails to cover many subsequent edits..."

That's the whole point.  Tesla grants access to 5 companies currently.  We need to check with Tesla's source on top of the table against the other 5 companies to see whether there's any discrepancy. Tamnguyenrn (talk) 22:18, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

I don't know what you are talking about User:Tamnguyenrn. Can you provide the name of the article and some specific edit.
Obviously, Tesla can be a source. But the problem with that primary source, especially at the "top of the table" as you said, could be many things. Perhaps it not easily verifiable as to the date the previous editor checked it; or perhaps it is simply a better source needed situation. I'd have to know what article or edit you are talking about to be able to tell. N2e (talk) 02:14, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hi N2e. Thank you for your work on November 2024 Amsterdam attacks. Another editor, GrabUp, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

There is already another article about this, Jewish pogrom in Amsterdam.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|GrabUp}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

GrabUp - Talk 04:03, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Man @GrabUp:, I worked really hard to find another article first, before creating that one. I did over a half dozen Misplaced Pages searches, and nothing came up. So figured I'd just stub out a new article, following normal policy (notability, verifiability, nothing undue or too likely to show a POV, etc.)
Welp, the content will clearly have to be merged. But I think that the title I chose is the far more neutral one. N2e (talk) 04:42, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
Yes, I support your title. The article was created just 6 minutes before yours. GrabUp - Talk 04:59, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
