Derek Hall

Hello, I am Derek's grandson and I am attempting to update his page while I'm with his wife, Hilda, and his daughter, Sharon. The only proof or citations i have are those of his wives words, but I believe she is more reputable than any citation you may have.

Nailed Dead Risen

Hey about the section on "Nailed. Dead. Risen." I added cites so can you check it and tell me if its good enough now? Thanks buddy.

DRN Case

Hi Materialscientist, just wanted to ask if you will be participating (at this time) in the Health care in the US DRN case? You can opt in and out at any time, as participation is voluntary, but be aware that discussion may stall if you do opt out which will cause the case to be closed. Cheers, Drcrazy102 (talk) 04:10, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

No. I have no slightest interest in this topic, and don't know why I'm being invited there so vigorously. I do revert vandalism/spam/COI/etc. and fix references on a wide range of articles; this does not make me an active contributor there. My actual topical interest (in terms of article creation/expansion) is much narrower. Materialscientist (talk) 04:39, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
Apologies for any annoyance, but you were listed as an "involved editor" in the dispute case filing; hence the questions. With no replies, we asked again. Again, apologies, and I will remove you from the listings if you are agreeable to that? Cheers, Drcrazy102 (talk) 05:02, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

HBCU reverts

The content removal on the conference pages along with the two schools and the Florida Classic has been going on for a week most likely by the same person using various IP's. It started with User talk:98.254.46.182, which is currently blocked. I've just been doing a blanket revert of all edits each time and don't know how a complete block of this person can be done. Maybe the first half of the addresses can lead to a specific location that can be blocked. Here are all the IP's that this person has been so far to check the contributions pattern:

I just saw that you have already blocked the first two a few days ago and blocked the last one today. Thanks for the help. Msjraz64 (talk) 04:36, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Vandalism Edit War

Is it allowed for me to have kind of an 'edit war' if a user I've already reported to Misplaced Pages:AIV keeps blanking or vandalizing a page, then I revert his changes and he reverts mine and etc. Regards, Dat GuyWiki (talk) 10:59, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Three-revert and edit warring rules do not apply in cases of clear violation of more basic wikipedia policies (vandalism, spamming, removal of some maintenance templates, etc.). Materialscientist (talk) 11:03, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

69.118.199.174

This IP has a months-long history of making small changes to BLPs to insert unsourced dubious material, including recently adding the nickname "Wildy" to a BLP's article. The IP literally seems to do nothing else. You put an anonblock on it back in May, and the tag is still on its talk page, but it's vandalized several times since. valereee (talk) 12:49, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Mark Little (footballer)

Hi

There is no one documented source, the player in question hasn't been in the starting line up for a few weeks - the only way to source the information would be to link to the BBC website's report on each game. I was just trying to be helpful as I go to watch every game and see it with my own eyes.

Dear Materialscientist, many thanks for your advice. I will try to include more references with my article about horn furniture.

calcium citrate

I wonder if you could do a structure for calcium citrate (http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/zaac.201100088). The current one in the chem box is nonsense. Many thanks Petergans (talk) 07:07, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

I need a structure file in some form. Among Ca-C-O-H compounds we have only whewellite in our CIF database. I'll try to find it elsewhere. Materialscientist (talk) 07:14, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
Plotted, but the interpretation of bonding is not trivial. The structural images in http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/zaac.201100088 are also an interpretation. Materialscientist (talk) 03:30, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
Great! Thanks very much. The co-ordination around Ca is very unusual. The dimeric units are held together by 4 bridging oxygen atoms of carboxylate groups. One minor comment - a bond between the two Ca centres of the dimeric unit is very unlikely. Petergans (talk) 10:12, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for comment, I'll check this at work tomorrow. Bonds is drawn by software, and the operator has limited control over the bonding conditions. People who know the field, like the authors of 10.1002/zaac.201100088, tweak the resulting image (manually or via software options). I was concerned that my image is rather far from the cited article in many ways, and didn't think about the Ca-Ca bonding. Materialscientist (talk) 10:24, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
Yes, Ca-Ca bonds should not be there. Materialscientist (talk) 11:09, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Romanian-and-proud (talk) 11:01, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Why are they necessary?...

No seriously, why do you have to put all the others in "Romanian Armies in the Battle of Stalingrad"? Afterall, it's the ROMANIAN Armies we're talking about, and the article itself is dedicated to Romania. Why can't you let it be fully Romanian?...

Terbium

Hi Materialscientist, I know Terbium very good. I'm also the owner from different purities of terbium. None of a terbium sort are soft enough possible to cut it with a nife. Please can you me say the side from the CRC-handbook where I can read it. This: "soft enough to be cut with a knife" is nonsense. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 13:02, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

C.R. Hammond in "The elements" in the CRC Handbook says that terbium can be cut with a knife; he says the same for many other lanthanides. Of course this statement is not scientific, as it depends on the knife material and on the knife user (housewife or heavyweight weightlifter). I only worked with highly pure, but rather small lanthanide samples, and thus couldn't judge their hardness. Materialscientist (talk) 00:26, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

nu wa

i am sorry if you thought that my edit (about nu-wa being in popular culture) was not in good faith but it was 100% truthful and i was just writing to make this clear. please tell me what made it look untruthful as i feel if you had looked it up you might of found it too be true.

Quick block request

Could you block me indefinitely? I'm trying to test an interwiki thing with Commons, and I don't know if a self-imposed block would work equally well. I already tried it with my backup account, but it didn't work (even when the account wasn't blocked), so I'd like to try it with this account. I'd like an indefinite block so that I don't have to hurry; it would be annoying if I couldn't complete the test before the block expires. Please disable autoblock, and please use a rationale that makes it clear that (1) this is a block for technical purposes, and (2) nobody should complain when I unblock myself. Thanks! Nyttend (talk) 22:49, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Done (forgot #2, but should be Ok). Materialscientist (talk) 22:54, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
Thanks. Are you familiar with C:GR? It says If the replacement was done by a file mover or administrator (verify) according to our policies, do not block this user as it would be useless, but it seems to be wrong. I put c:File:Fnbosubgourodbwaofebosgosub foubug.png into my sandbox here, and after you blocked me, I moved it to c:File:Shorter title.png after checking "Try to replace usage immediately using your user account". You can see that the file rename didn't happen here; it stayed at the gibberish title. I then moved the image back to the previous title, unblocked myself here, re-renamed the Commons file, and it worked normally. Am I misunderstanding something, or is the bit about "as it would be useless" in error? Meanwhile, see ; it's possible to use RevDelete when blocked. Have you ever heard a discussion of whether this is intentional or not? Nyttend (talk) 23:04, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
Ugh, my brain is not awake enough to understand the problem :-). When I rename on Commons, the corresponding local rename on en.wiki is treated as my personal edit (not bot edit). This local rename would be blocked if my en.wiki account was blocked, no matter what Commons policies say. Materialscientist (talk) 23:13, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
That's what I mean — as I read it, C:GR is saying that blocking the en:wp account won't stop the replacement ("Unwanted replacement edits under user accounts other than bots might be prevented by using the AbuseFilter"), but in fact, the block really does stop replacement. No more comments from me until you respond, so that you can sleep and understand better :-) Nyttend (talk) 23:17, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
Well, there is this section at the bottom , which basically repeats my message above. As to the top part, C:GR can't impose rules for local wikis, such as blocks. Materialscientist (talk) 23:28, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

excuse me? and who are you? dont ever bother me again.

the danse society wiki page

hi Materialscientist i am the founder member of the band and continue to perform under the name the danse society.the page is very inaccurate and biased . i did not not leave the band walk into the sunset to leave the woman singer and her guitarist boyfriend to be the danse society and live happily ever after .unfortunately the truth full version of events keeps getting changed or vandalized and i dont have the know how to reference stuff.i would appreciate it. if may be you could help with this .there is alternate danse societys this one actually tours and records, owns the trademark and the ltd company .it has a web site face book page twitter and a new album out .wiki should not be used as battle ground to put out disinformation to the benefit of another,s agenda . the last version of the danse society split up and it was not unexpected .the person who edited this inaccuracy are the people in the other version of danse society which goes against wiki principles where any thing can be true and as it is seen as a world wide reference. it is wrong that it should be allowed to remain as unbalanced as it is. in someones favor.there is always two sides to a story , except i cant seem to get mine on wiki. yet i exist in the real world and play real shows un like the other version ..

Ralph Doubell

Hi - any luck in using an alternative photo? One of Ralph? Or at least take the current photo down?

There are two alternatives on Getty Images that I imagine are also free. ] ]

No, these two are copyrighted. Materialscientist (talk) 05:33, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Right - so can we take the current picture down until we find a replacement?

Sure, but first, what it your evidence it is another person? Do you have an idea who that might be? Materialscientist (talk) 23:27, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

From speaking to my father - he thinks it is an amateur Tasmanian athlete that he couldn't name. My evidence would be all the other images of Ralph that are online. How might I be able to disprove the image? Or can you suggest where I would find an image that is copyright free? I tried to contact Athletics Australia and the IAAF but have not received a response.

That image comes from the 1968 Olympics, thus I doubt it is an amateur Tasmanian athlete - there were very few Australian runners there . I wonder if you spoke to your father, maybe you could upload a public-domain image of him to Wikimedia Commons? Materialscientist (talk) 23:15, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

This image definitely is not a member of the Australian '68 Olympic team. Certainly not of any of those listed in your source. Best guess is it's a South Australian Athlete called Chris Woods who came 3rd in the '65/'66 800m Australian Championships.

I will look to upload an image - but are you also able to see if you can find an alternative free one? I'm not familiar with copyright laws and not sure where to source them.

Covered up vandalism

Hello Materialscientist, thank you for fighthing vandals. Unfortunately, this edit only reverted the then latest vandal, leaving this previous vandalism in the version that appeared to be OK'd by you. I know, it's a pity that the easy reversion feature induces one to not look at the previous edits. — Sebastian 21:43, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Gallium nitride + water

Hi

There is an odd thing on the gallium nitride page. In the property table on the right it says that it reacts with water but on the bottom it says that bulk GaN is biocompatible. I don't see how that can go together. I think the reacting with water is incorrect, but I have never worked with the stuff, so I am not sure.

Thanks for the note on the Sustainability colleges page. I don't really know how to do what needs to get done to get the edits back on. The information is all from the Prescott College "Academics" page here. http://www.prescott.edu/academics/index.php

I'd be grateful if you could let me know what to do? In particular, I'm not sure what the proper protocol is. Do I revert the edits that were quashed and then add in the website? Is there a problem with citing the website as a source? Do I have to copy and paste the text? Thanks!190.121.93.230 (talk) 05:02, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Addition

Sir Yes sorry. I have arrest warrants. I will have to do some research on how to do this being new!

How is adding a space after a comma vandalism?

This is very insignificant but it is bothering me more than it should. On the page for "Noble savage," there is an instance where there is a comma with no space after it: "He is here denying the right of a prince, who is threatening him with death,to put him to death..." It made it hard to read so I simply added a space after the comma to make it correct. My edits were then reverted by two different users for not being constructive, and then I was told that what I was doing was vandalism. Why do people revert changes this small if there is nothing wrong with them? How does something like this warrant such swift and consistent confrontation? I guess I just don't understand Misplaced Pages

Cease your paid shilling for the Coal Industry at once!

This is a place of Truth, not for paid lies spread by Coal Industry Spokespersons. Thank you.

2600:1017:b429:1f5e:5cc5:cc13:5953:bd9a - Materialscientist is not a paid scientist for the coal industry. It is simply his Misplaced Pages username. Please remember to assume good faith; messaging users with "guns blaring", as you did here, is not a good way to inquire about Materialscientist's reversion of your content. It does not focus on content but instead focuses on the person, which is discouraged behavior. It would have been much better if you had just asked why he reverted your content. Please keep this in mind when you interact with other users. Thanks :-) ~Oshwah~ 12:18, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Re: Edit of Photoelectric Effect

Dear Materialscientist, I write in response to the talk about this edit. New to Wiki edit, I accidentally overlooked the edit summary part. Sorry for that. The edit concerned that as far as my limited understanding (I know you are a PhD in physics so let me be humble), in classical wave theory, the intensity of an EM wave depends on the amplitude of the electric field strength and magnetic flux density (to be more precise, either one only as they are related with a factor c 2 {\displaystyle c^{2}} ). We may also refer to the expressions for the energy densities of EM waves in terms of electric field strength and magnetic flux density, i.e. u = 1 2 ε 0 E 0 2 + 1 2 μ 0 B 0 2 = ε 0 E 0 2 = 1 μ 0 B 0 2 {\displaystyle u={\tfrac {1}{2}}\varepsilon _{0}E_{0}^{2}+{\tfrac {1}{2\mu _{0}}}B_{0}^{2}=\varepsilon _{0}E_{0}^{2}={\tfrac {1}{\mu _{0}}}B_{0}^{2}} . The expressions show that the wave intensity does not depend on frequency or wavelength. In fact, this webpage explicitly says that photoelectric effect is not expected to be varied by a change in wavelength/frequency in classical wave theory. Please let me know if I have made any mistakes. Thank you so much.

hello. i made a small chaqnge in the page listed above. i changed what type of insturment the air horn is, since trumpet is NOT a group of insturments; i read about it on wikipedia and found out what it was. i changed it to that because i would like to help edit that page. if this wasnt the edit you were talking about, i remember the page i did research on i also edited it, though it was probably alright as it already was.

non:contructive edit

Materialscientist (talk) 04:38, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

Material scientist: I fail to see how it is not constructive. the edits in question clarified that the Church based in Rome is not the only Catholic churches and is lead by the pope. Lutherans, Anglicans, Orthodox and many consider them to be a catholic church even though they do not follow the teachings of a bishop in Rome. Whilst I don't intend to argue the reformation ( :) ) I do find it helpful to clarify (and Educate) for others the common ground and that the Catholic church extends beyond the monocracy in Rome. Of course I recognize that many who follow the bishop of rome, may disagree and have for many years tried to persecute protestants, but don't you think its time to get us all together and recognize the commonality of the judeo/christian/muslim faiths?

Hello Materialscientist, no I don't think you've made a mistake. I'm new here and do not yet understand functions like sandbox or where to write if I find a page problematic without changing it. Yesterday I found the page Culture of Quebec to contain information about the many culturally important anglophone Quebecers & therefore was unsure if it was not erroneous to preface a link to such a page as French. It was for this reason that I reconstructed the page to reflect a more precise description of the page linked within. Leifou (talk) 17:40, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

Sorry about posting my report on the wrong page. Noticed that you spotted it straight away. Cannot work out how I did that. Used the Twinkle drop-down menu. Cheers! — | Gareth Griffith-Jones |The WelshBuzzard| — 09:36, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

Edit

Hello there's a edit is like to make on a welding page. Adding a image could you help me out and explain how I would add a image onto the Misplaced Pages welding page? Andthenew16 (talk) 10:16, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

Start by reading WP:IMAGES.
Note that the main thing about adding images to articles on WP is that the image has to come from Wikimedia Commons, or Misplaced Pages itself (I would strongly recommend Commons instead). You can't embed an image that's out on the web, the image must be hosted by Wikimedia.
There's also the question of image copyright, which Wikimedia takes very seriously. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:03, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Hey, I see you reverted my edit on Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Thanks for that, I see I made an oopsie and somehow restored content with my rollback on Huggle. JQTriple7 10:58, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

Game Corp DX was removed, and you talked about a reliable source.

RfA nomination Qed237

Hi.

I write this message to you as you are one of the administrators that I come in contact with on a regular basis.

The reason is this nomination at my talkpage from a editor that I dont have talk with very much, but I see him/her editing the same articles. I have been nominated by others before (never nominated myself), but in those cases I withdrew immediately, before voting started, because I did not feel ready.

Now I wonder if you, as an administrator, have any comments regarding this nomination or perhaps even questions? Do you think I have any chance of becoming an administrator and that I should move on with the nomination or should I withdraw? What is my next step?

Any comments would be appreciated. Thank you. Qed237 (talk) 02:03, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

  • User:Qed237, if Materialscientist mislikes it not, your numbers look pretty decent--active on the boards, and you've created a lot of content. It's on sports, so it's boring biographies and stuff (haha), but something like this doesn't look bad at all. I have run into you here and there and I don't remember any bad experiences. Much depends, for an active vandal fighter like you, on article and content creation, and at first glance that seems to be OK. What I don't know is if you've done much of the kind of thing that I think admins should do as well, which is mediating, talking people off the ledge, so to speak. You should be the judge of that. Whether this person is the right person to nominate you, that's a different question. Good luck, Drmies (talk) 04:50, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
@Drmies: Thank you for replying. As you say, I have not been mediating that much. What I have done is mentoring a user that had a lot of issues and needed much help (I got several talkpage messages every day), but other than that not much mediating. I will think hard about this, but I feel no rush becoming an admin, as my main focus would still be on editing. What I could mostly help with is to block all vandalism only-account and IP's when following my watchlist as I spot a lot there. Also I could help at WP:RPP, specially under football transfer season, when editors change content in BLP's based on rumours. Now I just add requests all the time and about 95% of them lead to a protection. Qed237 (talk) 11:21, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Derrick Williams

As pertaining to your last edit to my edit of Derrick Willams, I have to respectfully challenge your editing. I am an expert on NBA and know wxtensivley about NBA drafts and prosepects. As major Sports talk shows, analysts, and NBA personel label Derrick Willaims a bust or a player that does not pan out in a draft, this is not a hurtful label to put on the man. He earned it and acknolowged it even in an interview. Please consider what I have told you.

Thanks and much regards, Ioxa

IP vandalism

An IP which has been blocked twice previously for disruptive editing, has returned a from a week-long block and is at it again: 1, 2. Would you be able to take a look, please? Cheers, Robby.is.on (talk) 04:41, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Well, that didn't take long: has been dealt with by another admin. So disregard. ;-) Have a good weekend! Robby.is.on (talk) 04:45, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

AntonKablak

You protected Satyendra Nath Bose against disruptive edits. This editor is making the same edits. Vandalism or WP:3RR? --NeilN 04:44, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Blocked for 31 hours. Don't know if this is vandalism, but it is clearly a disruptive edit-warring, boldly pushing their POV. Such major rewrites require a great deal of diplomacy, which AntonKablak showed none so far. Materialscientist (talk) 04:52, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Cui Yongyuan

I saw that you reverted a recent edit on this entry. Is it because of lack citations?

Yes, see User_talk:12.27.71.34. Materialscientist (talk) 05:51, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the prompt reply! I only noticed this for there is an on-going news story about Cui and given the controversy, i think most of the earlier edits are as neutral as it can be. I can help to add sources and citations as much as i can, and maybe others will chime in as well. But if it is still sub-par afterwards, please revert as you see fit, but at the same time, help guide us into better editing habits.

Appreciate your dedications and thank you for helping keeping Misplaced Pages the way it is.

Thanks

Thanks for blocking Andy Toes. He was trying to blank his talk page to hide the fact he was a vandalism only account. TF 10:52, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Gus (Psych tv show) edit

I'm not sure what citation you need. I gave you the season (8) and episode (5, "Cog Blocked") it which his alias, Denzel Diggs Underwood Morris Chestnut Washington. He is called this by the character, Emmanuelle. Jsricheal17 (talk) 12:43, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

I did not do the thing you accuse me of

Hello, I am fed up. I am accused by you of making text edits, which I have not done. I am also periodically blocked from making edits at all because I am accused of destructive editing. This is disgraceful. I have never done this. Occasionally I seek to update information on some of the aviation history pages where my own published books and articles, or those of others recently published, update information on Wiki pages. This is disgraceful too. I have NEVER made destructive editing, or edits aimed at attacking anyone, etc. When I queried this before, I was told my IP is shared by others. So what? This is 2015, you have the ability to identify individuals instead of a stupid, ignorent, block of hundreds of people on the same IP just because one idiot has made edits you don't like. You people on Wiki are sailing very close to a law suit here. It is at best disrespectful to accuse people like myself of distructive editing which I have never done, one day one of us who are totally unjustly blocked might just turn up with a lawyer. Think of that. I reserve the absolute right to be able to edit where my own research is incorrently inserted on your pages. For example, I wrote a book on the Ta 152. Someone mis-read what I wrote and put their misreading on your Wiki page on the Ta 152. Because at that time I was able to edit without your stupid block ban, I was able to edit and correct what had been said. When I am unjustly blocked I cannot make such a necessary corrction. Think of that too.
