Thank you for removing registered and trademark symbols from the EnterpriseDB entry. I tried to adhere to Wikipedia goals and rules careful in redoing an old/outdated entry in June. To that end, I used almost all secondary, tertiary sources in the new entry yet no one has come along to evaluate the new entry against the new sourcing and remove the template. I cannot do it because I am with EDB and again, I respect the rules of Wikipedia. I think I have met the standard. Will you please take a look? And, my sincere apologies if my request is inappropriate. RenDag — Preceding unsigned comment added by RenDag (talk • contribs) 17:47, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
FYI, I am going to de-list your ESRI shapefile → Shapefile move request. The steps for requesting a page move were not followed so no one else had a chance to see or vote on the request. Those steps put the article in a category and make a convenient place to vote. Feel free to re-list the request. —Wknight94 (talk) 10:57, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
I was just cleaning out Category:Articles that need to be wikified at the time. I have never heard of subject of the article before, so the article must have been titled with the II at the time and I just went with it. Good that you caught this. HollyAm 22:23, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
you might want to take a look at some recent edits there. the new formula incorporating viscosity i know is incorrect, but right now i don't have time to sort through it and the other changes. :( maybe if you get a chance you can. tia, Lunch 02:11, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. An article you recently created, Thurber Engineering Ltd., has been tagged for speedy deletion because its content is clearly written to promote a company, product, or service.

Hi there. Do you have permission from the copyright holders of images including Image:UofC Coat.jpg and Image:Mcgill-logo.png to replace with SVGs?
You'll notice that {{logo}}, with which your SVGs, Image:UofC Coat.svg and Image:Mcgill-logo-w-moto.svg are tagged, is a fair use template. One of the restrictions placed by Wikipedia's Fair Use Policy is that images so used must be of low, or reduced resolution. I understand that you have traced these images using Inkscape: this does not vitiate the copyright-holders interest in them! — mholland 13:10, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Canada wordmark.svg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

I am one of the authors of the "soil inference system" paper. It has been reworded.
Hi Mwtoews! Before I changed the word abstraction in River, I checked with Merriam-Webster. That page doesn't indicate removal is a meaning. So I used the more familiar extract. But clicking on abstracting does indeed show that removal is the first meaning. Thanks for the education! Regards, —EncMstr 20:04, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
As a fellow hydrogeologist, I humbly requet your assistance to the soil page, as well as some other pages intimately involved in professional practice such as borehole, drilling rig, water well, etc.. These very basic articles could really use improved description, for the benefit of both the lay public and our practice as a whole.

Hi, I've noticed your edits in the groundwater related articles. However, they infringe on Wikipedia's no original research policy (especially since you tagged on the talk pages "This article was made by ..."). These articles include Watertable control, Groundwater model, Salinity control, and Cumulative frequency; as well as certain sections of other articles. I don't want to be a jerk and list you articles for deletion (some people here would do that .. but not me), as they could be used and merged among other wiki authors. Your contributions to the small niche of groundwater-related articles are certainly welcome, however you should first consider the policies of Wikipedia before investing too much time and effort.+mwtoews 18:03, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
My reply:
I am new to Wikipedia (a few days) and already in trouble. I have tried to do merging but was hitherto unable to do so (with 2 exceptions) because I felt there would be too much interruption of the train of thought in the pages visited. Yet, I will not rest, but continue to do streamlining.
I fear some misunderstanding might have been roused by the phrase "This article was made by R.J.Oosterbaan". Herewith I only refer to the entry in Wikipedia (a new page), not to new or original research articles. All information I give comes from old research and existing sources and I am just reporting, referring, citing and pouring available knowledge into a new format, hoping to provide useful information. I guess I am not expected to make contributions merely by "copy and paste" from existing material, omitting any writing and "glueing" on my part. In fact, I could not detect much difference between the approach to the subjects in the pages I viewed and my approach, although there may be a lot of difference in style and emphasis everywhere.
To avoid any more misunderstandings, I will remove the phrase, which was meant to assume some kind of responsibility for what I did and be open for comments. I might also adopt a fancy name (something like yours) to "depersonify" my contributions.
By the way, do you have some authority in Wikipedia and what do you mean with "here" in (some people here would do that ...)"?
Regards, Roland.

Where can I find the encyclopedia reference format?
Is it important to use it because otherwise the articles are seen as original/not verified?
Thanks. Sounds very logic. I will do my best to follow the Wikipedia guide. It may take some time. In several sites I included examples (illustrations) hoping they might draw the interest of the reader. Yet I see your point and the number of examples will be reduced.

We want free. We have chosen not to accept material that may be okay under fair use in the hopes of generating more free items. It has been proven that by removing non-free content, free material has been generated, which, in the end, makes Wikipedia all the better. We don't care if they "release it promotionally" because it's still unfree and in cases where it's possible to generate/replace with a free item, we can not accept it. Many users have trouble understanding this concept so don't feel you are alone. I too struggled with it until I realized that a fair use image only enhances an article at Wikipedia, but a free image enhances every re-use of the article. And shouldn't that kid in Africa be able to see the image too when she loads the "Wikipedia DVD"? MECU≈talk 12:34, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

When you move content around with <ref>-tags in it, be sure to check whether all references defined by name still resolve to the same reference at the new location. For example, in this diff the reference named "kandr" was broken. It's very easy to miss since the software doesn't give a clear error message. Take care, Shinobu 19:06, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
I have to disagree with your changes to the page which suggest hydraulic fracturing modifies permeability. The best way to look at HF is that it provides a conductive pathway or conduit for the reservoir fluids to move toward the well in and it exposes a large surface area to the lower producing pressure of the well. My point is that if you say HF modifies perm, or bulk perm or rock mass perm, then you can say drilling the well modifies the rock mass perm. Both of these statements are technically correct, but are not useful ways of looking at the technology or modeling the effect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.194.55.74 (talk) 04:47, August 25, 2007 (UTC)
Hello
Thank you for fixing that mishap. Interwiki bots currently cannot add interwiki links in the subpage of each template (not implemented). However they do add interwikis between a <noinclude> tags, Which is sub optimal. Due to that, Plus an other issue..I have stopped running the bot on the template namespace until these issues are sorted out. If you notice, These edits were a while back (no recent edits).

The reason behind my edits in putting the coats of arms into the logo line is in line with all other world universities wiki. For example, Harvard, MIT, Cambridge, Oxford, UA, UT and all BC public universities wiki displays their CoA.
Coat of Arms registered by either the College of Arms or the Canadian Heraldic Authority are public domain images.
UBC: I don't mean to be rude but what you do mean by "I doubt this is true"? The Coat of Arms came from a UBC University Counsel publications, it is a Coat of Arms registered in the College of Arms in UK and thus the image is copyright under the Queen. I had a link to the Coat of Arms information on the UBC wiki page which you overriden. NOW READ!
SFU:
Again, it's the same rationale as above and it was released with a press release.
In case you couldn't see properly, the new crest consist of three books instead of the 2 crosses and 1 book prior to 2007. I kept both images because they are both in use while the newer one will gradually replace the old one. But until then, they both officially link to SFU.
I will not revert your edits to the main UBC/SFU wiki page but I've reverted your edits to the images I uploaded.

CoA in Canada can be considered as trademarks under the Trade-marks Act. Pursuant to the Wikipedia:Manual of Style (trademarks), the logos can be displayed on wiki articles (but maybe as you say, as a logo rather than PD).
The SFU new CoA was taken from the SFU Press Release. Because it's an image made and published by the CHA, it is considered as the work of the Governor General and copyright held by the Queen:
The UBC CoA can be obtained from the UBC Visual Identity Guidelines PDF file --Cahk 08:04, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Mwtoews. I see you reverted my changes at HMS Beagle (disambiguation). You are of course quite correct that the guidelines, as they stand, expect all that extra stuff in the link displays. The guidelines were not designed with the specific vagaries of ship disambiguation pages in mind.

thanks for taking that on; and nice tidying job on the earthquakes. There's an issue with the further meaning of Haida Gwaii as including PoW Island, in the Alaska Panhandle; it has its own Haida name too, like Gwaii Hanaas (or is it Gwaii Haanas? aka South Moresby) but it's also part of Haida Gwaii; but not part of the Queen Charlottes.

Hi Mwtoew. I see you have undid my changes to Toronto Airport disambugation a few times. I see your point of directing it to the list of gta airports, but I think that it should be directed to the Toronto pearson page. More people will be looking for Pearson say from all over the world like Tokyo Airport which redirects to the Haneda page as more people will bel ooking for haneda than narita. Same logic. Anyway, most people don't know it's called Pearson and just assume its just toronto airport, so putting that confuses them. Thanks for your attention and please reply.

Hi Mwtoews, I noticed that you removed the wiz-attack (its an old (long way befor year 2000) attack performed to emails) entry from the disambpage. I put it there to write an article about that, and hoped that some else will give his opinion first.

Hi,
Date linking used to be effectively mandatory. So it is not surprising that it was hard-coded into templates. Now many templates are being updated to remove the hard coding. This is being done in several ways:
If you look at the templates that I mention, you may get ideas of how the code works. I think I understand it but I am not a programmer so I am reluctant to make the changes myself. Regards Lightmouse (talk) 17:01, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi; I see you made {{BCGNIS}}, I'm wondering if I could indulge you to also make one for the Canadian Geographical Names Database aka Canadian GeoNames Database hmm their own page-title is just Canadian Geographical Names...anyway I just made Deadwood River and, as sometimes occurs, there's no BCGNIS listing and so known places still need a ref, and sometimes CGNDB is the only verifiable/official source vs tourism/hobby/community pages or commercial pages, even in some cases. this is the URL for the Deadwood River page although it has a unique identifier JBBPB which you can see is part of the URL. I'm sure you understand parsing such online databases better than I could ever figure out. I just think it would be handy; partly because CGNDB also has a map-generating feature which BCGNIS doesn't and BCGNIS pages don't have a re-search ability, i.e. links to anywhere else, though it's still the "prime source" for BC placenames....anyway, when you've got the time and inclination, just think it would be a good thing to have, as well as providing/genearting a standard formatting for CGNDB links when they're used in the same way {{BCGNIS}} operates....Skookum1 (talk) 01:08, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

What I'm starting to be concerned about is the probable prevalence of similar spam-links on foreign-language sites; I'm not aware of any Chinese-speaking WikiProject Canada people; perhaps there is a corresponding spam patrol on Chinese wikipedia, and re other language.

I notice that you added information for the "initial" release of Django as being in September 2008. While that was the date of the 1.0 release, the first packaged public release of Django was November 2005. Is there something I'm missing with respect to how Wikipedia considers "initial" releases?

Specific gravity is based on mass. If weighings are used they must be corrected for the buoyancy effect of air if true specific gravity is desired. It is the ratio of the masses (which, in vacuo is the same as the ratio of the weights. If weighings are used without correction then the "apparent" specific gravity is obtained. This is not the actual specific gravity. It's explained in the article.

Hi; had another template idea these last few days; initially I was thinking maybe of just parsing a given {{BCGNIS}} page such that the link "giving all locations within 5 km radius - actually within a one-minute "radius" square as you can see in http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcgn-bin/bcg05b?491800+1230500+490600+1224100. But there's no need to parse the source BCGNIS page; couldn't this be templated so that if you input the latlongs wiki-style the URL can be generated?; maybe that <bcg05b?> string indicates code/page issues doing this, it's just an idea. I was thinking on a given location page you could have a template/box saying "for a list of all gazetted within x minutes of latitude and longitude, see. The thing about this is it could be done for regions, at least quadrangular-shaped ones.Skookum1 (talk) 20:36, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

I've been meaning to raise this on CANTALK. I'm in touch fairly regularly with the one-person BCGNIS office and she's informed me that at some point BCGNIS links will stop working, right now there's a "File Not Found" followed by a redirect; the new system is BC Names. Item numbers are the same, the links will be different. I'm wondering about bot-changing/substituting the BCGNIS URLs with the new BCNames URLs, not sure there's any consistency. This is an example of the new URL, being the Queen Charlotte Islands item (NB the term "rescinded" no longer appears, it's now "not official"). After all the kerfuffle and utter useless of the {{BCGNIS}} v. {{cite bcgnis}} of last June - which was so nauseating and pointless and "let's make more work for editors" oriented and drove me away for quite a while - I don't want to get into suggesting there be a new template, which will take more time to fill out than necessary; since that warfare I've boycotted the template(s) entirely and just use straight URL-format, which is quick and dirty and, um, not a pain in the ass. How to adapt all the usages of {{BCGNIS}} and/or {{cite bcgnis}} to the new URLs can probably be botomated; "date accessed" is a pointless fields; these are permanent records, despite the new URLs/site. There's too many people moving and painting deck chairs on the Wiki-Titanic, and not enough people actually building any; anything that's too time-involving I start boycotting, and would rather just write articles than constantly have to fight with code-nerds "improving Wikipedia's interface" when actually making it more difficult and cumbersome to use. In any case, BCGNIS will stop working by summer; something will have to be done.Skookum1 (talk) 05:51, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi - the page has gone a bit back and forth - I didn't mean to start an edit war. In British English the word 'mean' is about miserliness - the American version of the Mr. Men book was released as Mr. Stingy. The disambiguation still includes a point on the use of Mean that is causing harm due to feeling angry, the American usage; I think that's more Wikitionary than encyclopaedic and an oblique connection to Anger. It seems inconsistent. I don't really understand why my edits were not disambiguation, but the above described point was left in the page. Alternative wording '* Mean is also descriptive of parsimonious behaviour. See Miser'?. Additionally special pages listing pages beginning with Mean, and containing mean, could tidy up the 'see also' section and prevent future problems with notability/edit disagreements. I saw that done on the Miser disambiguation page but I am not sure how to go about it and wanted to defer politely! Kathybramley (talk) 13:56, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi!
I would like to know if the dashed blue lines in the bottom figure of http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Acf.svg&page=1 are significance intervals. It does not seem so from their straight nature but the fact that the correlation maxima are the only points that are above those lines seems to suggest otherwise. I would very much appreciate if you could let me know, and if you know if the correlation maxima when searching for a hidden signal need to be significant to a certain confidence level I would very happy to know that too.
Finally my suggestion is to add that info to the plot so other users can see what the dashed blue lines mean. I could not find any caption for it.
thanks many!!!

Hi, coming to you because I recognized your name on the history at the TransCanada Pipelines article (advert), or rather where it redirects to....re this restructuring matter and that there were two companies rather than one (or ? I dunno it's confusing). The relationship to Kinder Morgan isn't in the article, nor is there one on Energy East pipeline (which shouldn't need that dab, as Energy East redirects to a page with a Spanish title and that's not PRIMARYTOPIC of "Energy East" IMO. This article addresses the restructuring issue re the NEB; corporate SEO and mainstream media mostsly working from corporate press releases means that's not in the first pages, if at all, in the googlesearch above. This article is only about their Energy East campaign but what it says needs to be somewhere and should be noted as a caution to watch for POV/COI activities on all connected articles. I'm seriously tired of political battles in Wikipedia and am trying to keep myself to geography and history articles and the like (in order to protect my aging health, partly) but wanted to field these to "someone who might care" as I venture that you might.Skookum1 (talk) 07:06, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Congratulations. The reason for this might have been right for mere formal reasons. But by erasing the only non-pop-culture reference you have (involuntarily?) confirmed the prevalence of ephemeral entertainment fads and trade marks over something that goes a little beyond John Doe's horizon. I understand the formal justification for the revert. But instead of thinking, let alone pondering the possible worth of the concept and possible ways to improve the article by careful modification, you have been reacting blindly. For quite a few people on earth today a random TV station broadcasting insipid shows might appear more fascinating than formal logic. Are you counting yourself amongst them?

Hi Mwtoews,
I had a problem replicating the figure you posted for the wikipage of Correlogram. You posted a R code that generates the figure.
x <- rnorm(100) + sin(2*pi*1:100/10) par(mfrow=c(2,1), mar=c(3.5, 3.5, 0.5, 0.5), mgp=c(2, 0.8, 0), cex=.7) plot(x, type="o", col="blue", main=NA) acf(x, 100, main=NA) dev.off()
So the data in the above figure in Acf.svg is 100 random numbers sampled from normal distribution plus a sine function. I then calculated the auto-correlation of these 100 numbers. But my figure is different from the below figure in Acf.svg. Sin function can be revealed but auto-correlation is not decaying to zero as Acf.svg showed.
Then I started to doubt the acf() function. Is it equivalent with the formula given in the section of Estimation (4th section) in the same wiki page?
Thanks!

Your recent edit to CDF is nice and simplifies things, but the way the Compound Document Format bullet now reads (without the secondary link to compound document) makes it seem redundant. I think it needs that link in order to illustrate what it is saying. The other option, which you overrode in an earlier edit, was to create a separate bullet for "compound document format," but (as you noted) that page doesn't actually mention "CDF" (and I do not think it should), though neither does the Comma delimited [format] article. Thanks for your diligence. Wikipedia certainly benefits from standardization work like what you're doing. Adam KatzΔ☎ 17:00, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

You previously caught me in "mid update" 3/19 when your reverted the section that didn't "work" thanks .
I thought the image I presented was a better demonstration of tab usage. In particular the use of 	 rather than 	 . As well as showing how a tabulated table appears.
Not sure how I got started one this revision but along the way I had a terrible fight until I remembered that the is case sensitive.
Notice that without <pre> the lines in which the source BEGINS with a tab do not render a beginning white space. In particular between the .01 and This as I would have expected.

Without the <pre> tag:
This line begins with a 	 1 10 100 .01 This one with a 	 instead 2 2 2 2.
These 2 lines are tabbed: 2009 This line uses a tab. &TAB;This line also uses a tab. This line does not use a tab. |

In the episode "Eagle Day" of Foyle's War, the Crown Film Unit is referred to as the "CFU".

Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
