History of Earth

Hi, Encyclopedist. I saw on your user page that you're interested in history; I was wondering if I could ask you to take a look at an article I'm working on. I've been writing History of Earth for several weeks now; I just finished working on the human history section—basically, trying to condense all of human history into a couple paragraphs. If you have the time and inclination, I'd appreciate if you would take a look at it. See Talk:History of Earth#Human history for more information. Thanks! — Knowledge Seeker দ 04:20, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Wow, I've had a bout of insomnia, so I got up and editted Misplaced Pages! Well, my first though on looking at the article was strictly on its vagueness. We are talking about the entire Earth - a planet that has existed 4.5 billion years! I think one article on it is just an invitation for ambiguity - maybe a fork article would be better. Also, I think this article could be largely confused with the History of the World and World history articles. Also, you may not be able to condense the broad term of human history in a couple of paragraphs!

You've written the article very well, and I think your work is excellent. But to be bluntly honest I would vote delete if someone added it to the VfD just for the reasons I stated above. Keep up the good work though!εγκυκλοπαίδεια* 06:33, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Broad articles on major topics are Misplaced Pages's weakness. It is easy to write detailed articles on very specific subjects, but to tie in overall themes to discuss a subject in general is quite difficult. For instance, there is a relatively detailed article on the drug metolazone (which I wrote), the article on the class of drugs, diuretic, is all right, and the broad group anti-hypertensive is little more than a list of lists. I think that just as an article on human history is needed to weave together the themes of these two hundred or so millenia, so needed sorely is an article weaving together the themes of these last several billion years of our planet. In fact, I was quite surprised not to find such an article here yet. Topics like Science or Human are incredibly broad and highly complex, yet serve to unite the various facets of their disciplines. They need not include all details; that's what sub-articles are for. We shouldn't shy away from tackling big topics just because they'll be difficult to write. Aside from deletion, do you have any suggestions for improvement? What do you mean by forking the article? I agree about history of the world and objected to that title on the talk page (I personally would call it Human history), but the editors there disagreed. I can think of no more appropriate title for this article with the possible exception of History of the Earth, which makes little difference. — Knowledge Seeker দ 06:54, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

My RfA

Military history of Mexico

Sorry for the belated reply. I found this which should be a nice enough primer for a general article such as Military history of Mexico. The best part of this is that it comes directly from the Army (SEDENA is the Secretariat of Defense back home). Of course it's all in Spanish, but you should be alright. Let me know if you need any help. ¡Saludos! -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ 00:19, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

My sweet dear Juan, I've been thinking to drop you a line here, but I think I'll rather write you an email instead. Have you ever felt like you wanna say a thousand things, yet, when the time comes, no words can actually come out? That's how I feel now - all scrambled up.

Hi

I took a look through your last few hundred edits. I don't see anything in there that would be a certain show-stopper, although edit summaries like won't be helpful. Since people will be scrutinising your "NPA slips" as you call them, I guess you'd have to decide what you think of this series of edits; they're suboptimal but not personal attacks. They'd be brought up in an RfA, but might not sink it considering the good work you do on articles. You have now a good edit summary usage (the new criterion a la mode) and, everyone already knows, a wide variety of experience and good familiarity with policy. From your Misplaced Pages: space edits, one possible criticism is that you sometimes seem to employ pure voting in AfDs, just writing '''Delete''' ~~~~, eg. many of those on Feb 8th. That said, every regular at AfD (and thank goodness we have some) has done a lot worse than that once in a while! -Splash 22:23, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, that would be a very clear assumption of bad-faith of a sort and I don't think it would be a reasonable thing to say. Good luck if decide to run. -Splash 00:25, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:OldCapitol.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:OldCapitol.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Misplaced Pages (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

I came here to comment on your "well argued nomination" tag line and was surprised to find that I'm not alone!

Three forms of mathematical induction

This article was intended to be comprehensible to all mathematicians.

It was not intended to teach mathematical induction. It was not intended to explain what mathematical induction is, nor how to use it.

What I see is (mostly) a bunch of non-mathematicians looking at the stub form in which the article appeared when it was nominated from deletion, and seeing that

• It is not comprehensible to ordinary non-mathematicians who know what mathematical induction is, and

• The article titled mathematical induction is comprehensible to ordinary non-mathematicians, even those who know --- say --- secondary-school algebra, but have never heard of mathematical induction.

And so I have now expanded the article far beyond the stub stage, including

• Substantial expansion and organization of the introductory section.

• Two examples of part of the article that is probably hardest to understand to those who haven't seen these ideas.

• An prefatory statement right at the top, saying that this article is NOT the appropriate place to try to learn what mathematical induction is or how to use it, with a link to the appropriate article for that. It explains that you need to know mathematical induction before you can read this article.

Therefore, I invite those who voted to delete before I did these recent de-stubbing edits, to reconsider their votes in light of the current form of the article.

(Nothing like nomination for deletion to get you to work on a long-neglected stub article!) Michael Hardy 23:22, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi again!!

Falar é mais complicado.

alguns erros: Ainda estou praticando ao espelho a cada noite. Talvez me ajude! Agora, posso ler a língua francesa um pouco também.

In Portuguese you must not forget the accordance, that is: língua francês is not correct because língua is a female word. Francês is a male word. So, if you say: French, you say francês, but if you use "língua", you must say "francesa", because língua is a female word.

male words often end with an "o", female with an "a". for instance: A mesa (the table) O sapato (the shoe) O Sol (the Sun) A Lua (the Moon) A Terra (the Earth)

Mary is beautiful you must say: The (female) Mary is beautiful(female) A Maria é linda Paul is handsome: you must say: The (male) Paul is beautiful(male) O Paulo é lindo

In English you have a tendency to use "also" (também) in the end, in Portuguese that feels better in the beginning of the sentence. The best you can do to practice is listening to a TV programme or visit some place where the language is spoken. Congrat's! --Pedro 19:43, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Yep, you're right: I went back and changes things in the message before I pushed "save" and that was the bad thing to do...I am just sleepy today and I usually do better than that. I am actually ashame - but I must remember that I make mistakes in English. Como disse, tenho sonho - que vergonha! Usualmente não faço erros assim. Já falo espanhol, então, sei diferenças de palavras femininas e masculinas. Sei dizer língua francesa. Talvez não estava pensando :-(. Ainda não entendo ao espelho em vez de no espelho, mas foi meu erro. Me sinto como um fracasso. Que vergonha! Estou seguro que eu já fiz um erro como isto! εγκυκλοπαίδεια* 20:11, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Good articles

I wanted you thank you for tagging History of Earth as a good article. I realize it’s not the type of article you really feel belongs here, and that you would still tag it nevertheless is quite gracious. (I do realize that an article can meet the good article criteria and still be eligible for deletion.) I have to admit that I did have some doubts when I first conceived the idea, and I only wrote a couple paragraphs to give a sense of the scope/direction of the article before asking several people if they thought it was appropriate for Misplaced Pages—only after they responded in the affirmative did I proceed.

A little translation help, please

Hi D'Juan - I was just thinking about sending this message to you when I ran across your RfA. I think you should get through it ok. Don't get too nervous about it. Anyway, I see you speak Portuguese. I was looking at the Tupolev Tu-95 and I noticed that the same page on the Portuguese wikipedia (pt:Tupolev Tu-95 Bear) has 3 very good images (pt:Image:Tu-95h 1.jpg, pt:Image:Tu-95-2.jpg & pt:Image:Tu95ms001.jpg) that are much better than the one image that was on the English page (Image:Tu95.jpg - very poor B&W image). I downloaded them to my computer and uploaded them to commons (I used that same file names as was on Portuguese wikipedia), and added them to the English Tu-95 page. I was wondering if you could review the "DP-Soviético" license in those image pages and make sure that it is essentially the same as the {{PD-USSR}} license in English. Also, could you tell me what the text in the 3rd image Image:Tu95ms001.jpg translates to? Thanks, and good luck on your RfA. --rogerd 02:19, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

That RfA reminded me of why I left here in the first place.

Don't let a couple oppose votes get you down, man. You can't please all the people all the time. Yeah, I was disappointed by the six on mine, but I knew that getting 100% support is no small feat, especially now that the RfA process is getting tougher. You're going to encounter resistance. People are going to dislike you, or think you're not ready, or whatever. It's not something worth getting upset about. Just as not every person you meet is going to be your best friend, not all editors will like or even agree with you. Despite those few opposes you received, you have quite a fan base here (including me!) who were quite disappointed that you withdrew. I also was very, very saddened to see an essay I wrote (WP:ANOT) be used against such a fine editor as yourself in a RfA. Well, I respect your decision to withdraw it. Take it easy, man, and I'll see you around. If you want to contact me and let off some steam, there is a myriad of ways on my userpage. (If it's IMs you're after, be quick, I'm about to go to bed.) —BorgHunter (talk) 04:41, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I don;'t think I'll be coming back to Misplaced Pages, and I worsened my chances after spewing my thoughts out to that awful John Reid.

He has already created several sockpuppets and used various anonymous IPs such as

Sergeybakh, Markdanil , 88.152.186.13 , 88.155.49.240 , 88.152.104.167 , 88.154.8.154

to curcuimvent 3RR rule and restore his nonsense edits to

History of Russian military ranks , Air Force ranks and insignia of the Russian Federation , Army ranks and insignia of the Russian Federation

and various other articles. --DmitryKo 20:50, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Sockpuppet activity center

I suggest reporting any suspicious activity to User:Roitr/sockpuppetry so new bots and IPs can be tracked and banned on sight. --DmitryKo 23:15, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:James2.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:James2.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Misplaced Pages (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Shyam 20:53, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Another come back message

I don't really know you that well, but I hate to see you leave over something as trivial as one user's comments. You've contributed so much to the project. Would be great to have you back. -- Samir (the scope) 03:26, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #1

Military history WikiProject Newsletter, Issue I

The Military history WikiProject Newsletter Issue I - March 2006
Project news An independent military history peer review has been created for the benefit of the project. A number of articles have already been reviewed, receiving significantly more feedback within the project than they did on the generic peer review page. The project's Collaboration of the Fortnight got off to a great start with Ferdinand Foch and is now focusing on the military history of Spain. Two new task forces—dealing with warfare during classical antiquity and the Middle Ages—have been created. An effort to build a catalogue of high-quality maps for use in military history articles is now underway. The newly-formed translation department is looking for volunteers to help with translating featured articles from other-language Wikipedias.	From the Coordinators Welcome to the inaugural issue of the Military history WikiProject's newsletter! We hope that this new format will help members—especially those who may be unable to keep up with some of the rapid developments that tend to occur—find new groups and programs within the project that they may wish to participate in. Please consider this inital issue to be a prototype; as always, any comments and suggestions are quite welcome, and will help us improve the newsletter in the coming months. Kirill Lokshin, Lead Coordinator
Current proposals Proposed guidelines for categories of military people are currently being discussed. A number of issues have already been resolved, but the proposed scheme is still in draft form and further input would be very welcome.

Fake barn stars

Can you please confirm if you awarded User:The_Man's_Plans any barn stars. It is strongly suspected that he is misrepresenting himself.
