Sure, you cited it, but you are still plagiarizing, as when you say "It can be associated with either mean velocity components, internal gravity waves, or with turbulent velocity fluctuations. For turbulence, the momentum flux is also called the Reynolds stresses. For waves, momentum flux is related to mountain wave drag" and the source says "Momentum flux can be associated with either mean velocity components, internal gravity waves, or with turbulent velocity fluctuations. For turbulence, the momentum flux is also called the Reynolds stress. For waves, it is related to mountain wave drag." ] plagiarizes an article from the journal ''Applied Optics'' (actually it only plagiarizes from the abstract, which suggests you did not look at the actual article). There is also some copying at ], and in addition over there you have cited ] as a source which is not something we really do here. | |||
| You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your ] or on ]. | |||
| One of your sources for ] seems to be a blog talking up a software program called "Unit Converter EX" which does various unit conversions. In the context of basically saying "check out this product," the blog mentions some units which relate to volumetric flux, apparently, and then you mentioned those units in our article.

| As I said on ANI I consider this a major issue (i.e. articles based on copyvios/plagiarism) which relates directly to your fitness for adminship, a status which you have obviously recently achieved. I would ask you to consider the fact that, had the points I've raised here and on ANI been raised in your RFA, the odds are extremely good that you would not have passed. The fact that they have only come to light now is, in a sense, merely coincidental, and whatever happens now I hope you take the views of the community to heart even though the RfA concluded successfully (maybe I'll be the only one who sees a big problem here, who knows). Responding to me here on your talk page is obviously completely optional for you, but I would like to hear your rationale as to why someone who seems to have committed obvious plagiarism (I'm sure quite unintentionally) is a good representative, in this case an administrator, on a project that is writing an encyclopedia. I seriously hope that this does not come across as too harsh because I know you are very much a good faith and constructive contributor here, but I did feel it necessary to put these points to you directly. --] <small>| ] | ]</small> 07:35, 20 May 2009 (UTC) | |||

Unfortunately, my RFA was closed recently with a final tally of 75½/38/10. Though it didn't succeed, I wanted to thank you for your support and I hope I can count on it in the future. Even though it didn't pass, it had a nearly 2 to 1 ratio of support and I am quite encouraged by those results. I intend to review the support, oppose, and neutral !votes and see what I can do to address those concerns that were brought up and resubmit in a few months. If you would like to assist in my betterment and/or co-nominate me in the future, please let me know on my talk page. Special thanks go to Schmidt, , TomStar81, and henrik for their co-nominations and support. — BQZip01 — |

New Page Patrol survey
 New page patrol – Survey Invitation Hello FlyingToaster! The WMF is currently developing new tools to make new page patrolling much easier. Whether you have patrolled many pages or only a few, we now need to know about your experience. The survey takes only 6 minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist us in analyzing the results of the survey; the WMF will not use the information to identify you.

New deal for page patrollers
Hi FlyingToaster,
In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.
Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.
Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of John Turner (Texas politician)
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 John Turner (Texas politician) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. reddogsix (talk) 05:03, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ahistoricism
The article Ahistoricism has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
No clear topic. If converted to a dab, no clear alternate targets for the incoming links.
While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages 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 page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
