Until further notice on perpetual semi-break. --Pjacobi 16:26, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Steorn

Re: reference to Pons/Fleischmann "being pilloried" on Steorn, I added that because it shows Steorn took a huge risk - they have gambled their career and the prospects of their business. They wouldn't take that kind of risk unless they were sure about it. Which goes on to show why these conspiracy theories don't make sense. Didn't make the reference to say that it's a similar claim (I was going to edit "similar claim" to "claim")--Orangehues 22:28, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's a very bad comparison for multiple reasons. Do I need to elaborate? --Pjacobi 22:29, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Please.--Orangehues 22:39, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed you immediately marked this article for deletion not long I created it. I've written a comment on the deletion page indicating why I think it should stay.

In case you are concerned, I am writing to let you know I have no connection to this device or the people involved. I am not a supporter of the device and am a sceptic.

My intention was to document the claims made about the device. If you look around on the web, rightly or wrongly it has started to gain some attention in recent years. I don't feel the best way to deal with dubious scientific claims is to erase them from history as they will ony resurface somewhere else.

I don't have the specific physics knowledge to be able to debunk this device with authority but I am sure others do and I am sure they will write their concerns in the article over time.

--User:kesfan 21:05, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Will answer later, logging off now. Please don't feel offended. Perhaps I was partly mistaken. --Pjacobi 21:32, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

--User:kesfan 22:06, 17 Septmber 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I'm just writing to acknowledge your comments on my talk page. I take that onboard. I guess I've just lost interest in this a bit recently. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

3RR Report

I realize that you are in the process of reporting someone, but could you please use the standard format listed at the bottom of the page? It really helps us a lot in reviewing the report and deciding what and if to block. Thanks so much! alphaChimp laudare 18:41, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The facts are clear as I'm the violator myself, so giving the diffs would only be tedious. It's a question of interpreting WP:BLP. --Pjacobi 18:45, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Causality article

Why did you delete the whole 'See also' section? I was just reverting some vandalism, and I noticed your edit there removing the whole lot - a lot of those were quite relevant (e.g. causality loop, if you don't want to sort through them all I'd suggest just leaving it as it is, otherwise it makes a lot of work for people to get it back again. Richard001 05:03, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If it is not mentioned (and by that occasion linked in the text), it's more often than not peripheral to the topic. I very much disagree with using "see also" to set up large topic maps, which often detoriate into a little "random article list". In an ideal Wikipedia, the "see also" would be holding place only for those links which are highly relevant, but you feel unable to integrate them into the prose or make them accessable by category or navigation bar. --Pjacobi 06:22, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Natascha Kampusch 1998.jpg

You marked this image with the following three templates:

  1. {{no license}}
  2. {{PUIdisputed}}
  3. {{PUInonfree}}

All three are incorrect.

  1. The image does have information on its copyright status, specifically it clearly says "This work is copyrighted and unlicensed ... released by Austrian police".
  2. and
  3. This file has not been listed on Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images, so I can't discuss it there.

The image is listed with a good fair use claim. It is the iconic image specifically released by the police in relationship to the kidnapping, specifically intended to be reprinted in the media. We're the media.

If you have issues with this image, you can actually list it on that page linked to above, and I'll be glad to discuss there. AnonEMouse (squeak) 13:06, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I can't edit long pages like Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images for some hours (and others only painfully). I'll put the relevant details on Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images as soon as possible. Yes, I've already noticed, that none of the boilerplate messages does fit will. --Pjacobi 13:09, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Board Election - help needed

I'm in the Board Elections as a candidate; I'm having some trouble getting a German version translated of my basic statement, to go on meta:Election candidates 2006/De. Volunteers are supposed to do this, but they seem to be tired ... and there is 48 hours to voting. So, I am going to ask some German speakers here. Charles Matthews 15:11, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd volunteer as last resort only. I donÄt have much time right now, an awful connection, and a terrible style in doing translations. These issues aside I'd glad to support you. --Pjacobi 15:41, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Problem solved by delegation. Thanks to de:User:333 and de:User:Hob Gadling. --Pjacobi 19:06, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks for the reply. I wasn't going to ask several people at once. Charles Matthews 19:24, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Caste

I noticed your arguments against Dalitstan. Its not so obscure, infact the Indian government banned it, clearly showing its notoriety. The content matter is questionable, but the site can be used as a source for an example of anti-Hindu propaganda.Bakaman Bakatalk 16:45, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, as an example. But IMHO not representative for all Dalits. --Pjacobi 16:54, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Grigori Perelman

Please do not violate WP:NOR. If there is a good source that says that someone is Jewish, that is all we need under Wikipedia policy. There is no requirement for someone to be a practising Jew.--Runcorn 19:35, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The source doesn't say, that he is Jewish. It only says that his family is Jewish. Also, newspapers aren't good sources anyway. Waint until someone writes a biography. --Pjacobi 19:54, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Of course newspapers are valid sources. Are we not allowed to have an article about anyone until there is a biography? But I'll add another reference if you insist. Now please stop reverting.--Runcorn 20:00, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
A source stating, that he Perelman considers himself to a Jew? That would settle the issue. Sources of the same "quality" as your first source would not. --Pjacobi 20:09, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You may want to read Who is a Jew?. ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 20:10, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've read it carefully. It explains who can be considered a Jew for purposes of Rabbinic religion. I can also read the Nuremburg laws on the issue who was considered a Jew by NS Germany. Neither establishes an ethnicity label in modern scholarly use of ethnicity. --Pjacobi 20:15, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Two sources both stating unequivocally that he is Jewish.--Runcorn 20:12, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I won't revert anymore. But the sources only establish that they consider him to be Jew. --Pjacobi 20:15, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The sources say in so many words that he is Jewish. We go by what the sources say. Anything else violates WP:NOR. There is no requirement that someone must be a practising or self-identifying Jew to be described as Jewish. WP:AGF, I accept that you didn't realise that, but now you do. I do hope that this is an end of the matter.--Runcorn 21:12, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: We should remember that we are categorizing Perelman and not his family. Self-identification is, indeed, relevant to ethnicity. If Perelman says 'I am Jewish' then theres absolutely no problem or discussion even if he doesn't practice. The debate also isn't if someone is Jewish through the matrilineal line. 72.144.68.140 21:22, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Of course someone must consider himself Jewish at least in one of the meanings (religion or ethnicity) to be counted as Jew. I'm seriously disturbed that one can think otherwise. I thought that school of thinking was defeated 1945. --Pjacobi
When the life-long Lutheran Georg Cantor who never identified as a Jew is categorized as a "German Jew" you know this school of thing wasn't defeated. 72.144.68.140 21:32, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For the last time, you are in violation of WP:V and WP:NPOV. Wikipedia reports what reliable sources say, neither more nor less. There are plenty of reliable sources that say that Cantor was Jewish.--Runcorn 21:38, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah? Including self-identification? I don't think so. --Pjacobi 21:43, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

3RR

Re: Grigori Perelman. You have just crossed the 3RR line. Please do not do it again. You are alone in your arguments (not counting a novice editor and his sock puppets). Think about that first, please, before your next reversion. Rklawton 16:14, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've checked myself after the edit. I'm prepared to get my 24h block, no bad feelings about it.
But you are still wrong. Unfortunately the on en.wikipedia a lot of editors is firmly entrenched in ethnicity-centric thinking (what has to be called racism in severe cases), that I fear we can't get it right here. Fortunately, real enclopideas, like the Britannica, are with me and de: in this struggle.
Pjacobi 16:41, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Perelman, ethnicity-based thinking

Pjacobi - thank you for your edits to the Perelman article. I happen to agree with your perspective, and with your comments above on bona-fide encyclopaedias. It is a relief to find somebody to talk to around here. Bellbird 19:13, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Incidentally, I have just started a discussion topic in the village pump, under "tagging living people as Jews". Care to join it? Bellbird 10:27, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Pjacobi:

it seems the compromise you are suggesting is not being accepted. At any rate - isn't _defining_ him (in the first sentence of his biography!) as "from a Jewish family" the same as tagging him as a Jew? Aren't we, furthermore, imposing a tag on his family members, and determining that Jewishness is something passed by the blood? Bellbird 16:33, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also - for what this is worth, I have no sockpuppets. Bellbird 16:33, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Incidentally - it seems apparent that some of the chaps on the other side are using sockpuppets. (Many of the recent edits are from very new editors (newer than myself!) without even user pages.) Do you know how to verify this? I would not like to make charges willy-nilly. Bellbird 16:57, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What is wrong with this image? Why to delete it? Is'nt it a fair use? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JollyTheRoger (talk • contribs) 20:25, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  1. There is no fair use in Austria. Do you want to be sued when traveling to Austria?
  2. And it even doesn't meet the requirement for screenshots, as it isn't used to illustrate an article discussing this specific interview and the ORF
Pjacobi 19:54, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point. Would it save the image if I move it back to the bottom of the article, where it does discuss this speciefic interview? JollyTheRoger 20:02, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not from my delete button. But I won't start a delete-undelete-war if a license knowledgeable admin undelete this the image. For this reason I'd suggest bringing the issue to WP:DRV. --Pjacobi

Knowledge techniques

From Encyclopedic Handbook of cults in America, by J. Gordon Melton. Page 143 and 144.

"These four techniques reveal the means of experiencing the divine light, sound, word, and nectar. To experience the divine light, one places the knuckles on the eyeballs, a process which produces flashes of light inside the head. To discover the divine sound or music of the spheres, one plugs the ears with the fingers and concentrates only on internal sounds. The third technique involves concentration upon the sound of one's own breathing. Finally, to taste nectar, the tonge is curled backward and left there for a period of time. Once learned, these techniques are practiced daily."

Good point: See : Talk:Blue energy, the point is also that the systems are not exactly the same in the DE and the EN version. Lets have a discussion on the talkpage reg. Mion 07:18, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Infoboxes

Glad to see that you have made a start removing those silly infoboxes. :-) While you are at it: Bunzil has not only inserted those infoboxes, but I found out that there are also several instances where he copied text verbatim from Nobelprize.org or other places; clearly a case of copyright violation. If you have a chance you may want to check that out as well. JdH 19:09, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Do you remember which articles? --Pjacobi 19:11, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
David Gross (someone else reverted that in the mean time)
Gustaf Dalén
Heinrich Burkhardt
Charles Glover Barkla (reverted by me to pre-copyvio version)
Johannes Diderik van der Waals (reverted by me as well)
Pieter Zeeman (also reverted by me)
There could very well be more instances; I did not do an exhaustive search. JdH 21:57, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Guys, my bad. It is true there are some pieces of prose as you say. It was a good faith intention that they were merely "place holders" waiting to be rewritten. It was not the intention leave copy hanging around, however I got distracted by more pressing duties. Go ahead and delete such prose if you wish. Perhaps a good solution is if you guys could help re-write those parts, then we could all get it done quicker? Best regards, bunix 11:08, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would like you to understand that there are no alternatives for the hard work required to write a good article or biography. It requires that you immerse yourself in the subject, read articles about it, and write it from scratch. The are no quick and dirty solutions, such as infoboxes or copy/paste or placeholders or whatever you call it. In fact, it only distracts, as it requires us to go back, correct the misinformation you put in, and take out to copyvio's. For that reason alone I firmly believe it is best to delete that silly Infobox_Scientist template, as it is entirely counterproductive. The best contribution you can make for now is to take out those infoboxes you have improperly inserted, and focus on writing good articles instead. JdH 16:22, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that infoboxes can be abused, just like people abuse articles by importing whole foreign articles into the Wikipedia, but that has little to do with the utility of infoboxes. Work with bunix to gently correct his over-zealeous tendancies. I like well-done info boxes because they allow me to focus directly on the piece of information that I am seeking. But other times, I too find them a distraction, particularly when I am more interested more in context than in a particular fact. Nonetheless, I believe that text and info boxes can legitimately co-exist. Bejnar 16:30, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Goodness gracious, Pjacobi. There is a reasonable request for you to desist from deletion until the TfD is complete. I admit that I would not have noticed the TfD if you hadn't deleted the infobox. However, I would have noticed the change a whole lot sooner (i.e. without historical digging) if you had simply placed a message on the talk page indicating that you believed that the infobox served no useful purpose. Bejnar 16:30, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

CfD

Hi Pjacobi -

I will probably put several categories under "Categories for Deletion" quite soon - today or tomorrow. Your opinions will be appreciated. Also - there's the general discussion going on in the Village pump. Bellbird 14:17, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good luck, but it won't work here. --Pjacobi 14:19, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
What won't work? Also, do you know of some other people here who share our position (broadly understood)? Bellbird 14:25, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Generally speaking, I consider Wikipedia -- and especially en.wikipedia -- to be beyond hope. Except -- thanks to the GFDL -- for using it as a quarry for a more focused project. It's just too fat. Too many silly categories, lists, infoboxes, navbars, "X in fiction" sections, references allegedly sourcing an article by pointing to newspaper articles or worse.
More specifically, list and category building by ethnicity or religion on en.wikipedia is out of control. For now, we were able to prevent this on de:, but it seems unlikely to be able to rollback here. For example, see this CfD.
At Talk:Who is a Jew?#Who is a Jew for purposes of Wikipedia_articles, senior editor, ArbCom member, etc, User:Jayjg expressed some sympathy [6] for the German solution, but I don't think he'll be eager to actively advocate it.
--Pjacobi 15:40, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well - would you mind at least stating your opinion in the CfD page? I believe there is more support for what seems to be our position than you may think. Also - Wikipedia is becoming one of the main sources (alas!) that individuals have for information in the English-speaking world; this sort of issue is of importance.

Comment by Avi re Grigori Perelman

Your “position” happens to go against wiki's policy of verfiability and reliability. Information may not be removed because you just don't like it. That goes against WP:NPOV. -- Avi 15:21, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're wrong. For example every major article about a sciencitific subjects unfortunately attracts an "X in popular culture.." subject, naming every occurence of the topic in TV series and a every garage punk pank which had the glorious idea to use the name. Whether or not this can be sources, it can be removed because it is off topic. --Pjacobi 15:29, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But one's background is important, otherwise we should remove all bithplace and birthdate references as well. -- Avi 15:43, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In contrast to the purer stance of User:Bellbird, I'll tolerate a "Jewish family" in the "Early life and education" chapter. But not the category without any evidence of self-identification. --Pjacobi 15:50, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • I would rather have a smaller set of useful, verifiable (and verified), clean articles than a large set of borderline trash.
Oh, yes. Do you see any chance of making this policy ;-)

Pjacobi 15:52, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That is what I work for, but verified ethnicity passes my test -- Avi 15:57, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
There are two rather different arguments against that:
Pjacobi 16:03, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A wider change

Pjacobi -

what do you suppose we shall do? I don't have many edits to my name (and they are all on this subject!) - thus it is doubtful that I can get anywhere alone. See my proposal on SlimVirgin's page. Bellbird 17:37, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's hard to invest the time needed, if oneself assume failure nearly certain.
I'd suggest starting a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Categories (seems semi-dead as a project) or Wikipedia talk:Categorization. If a minimal crowd can be gathered, a well written proposal should be drafted. The use the mailing list an Wikipedia:Village pump (policy) to get more eyeballs. If at this point there still seems to be chances to succeed, add standard voting sections and transclude the proposal at TfD.
Pjacobi 17:56, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Incidentally: I cannot agree with your proposal to let "of a Jewish family" stand. Of course one's immediate family is a basic formative force. If we are speaking of, say, Akiva Rubinstein, and we are writing an extended biography of him, it makes sense that we mention that he was brought up in an intensely religious household, and that he broke with his father over his obsession with chess (over religious texts...). However, as a tag, "of a Jewish family" is simply a euphemism and a statement about bloodlines. As a sociological category, in and of itself, it is worthless. What does a "Jewish family" (if that is what it is) in Russia in 2006 have in common with an Orthodox family in Manhattan in 1920, a Communist family in one place or the other in the 1930s, a Reform Jewish family in Ontario in 1980, a Polish Catholic family in 1970 - one of whose founders, say, happened to be "born Jewish" - or a Sephardic family in Israel in 1960? They share neither experiences, nor creed, nor language.

Shall we discuss the matter? I have seen that the habit of using such a phrase has been carried over to the German wikipedia. Perhaps a stricter policy has some chance of passing there? See the comment I recently left in SlimVirgin's talk page. Bellbird 20:42, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is a pragmatic decision of mine, shaped by what can be expected to gather consensus. --Pjacobi 20:46, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

KraMuc

IMO there is little doubt that 84.153.105.61 (and 84.154.94.153?) is used by KraMuc, and also User_talk:PaolaDiApulia appears to be a sockpuppet (but it may be wise to let that last line of communication "open" for a little while). Who should I ask to take action? Harald88 19:07, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

IMHO this can only be solved by more people watching the affected articles. Blocking a large variety of dialup IPs won't be done or will have too many collateral damage.
If the intensity of his actions becoms unbearable, I'll try to call together some admins for monitoring, but for now I'll message only the german and english physics projects and direct to discussion to the CH's KraMuc page if he agrees.
Pjacobi 09:10, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies for jumping in here out of the blue, but I have a personal interest, in that my name was mentioned by KraMuc in this diff. It's unfortunate and beyond my control that my name was mentioned, both in that diff and in a comment on this talk page which Harald88 graciously removed. However, both of you are complicit to some degree in this hideous piece of original research. This never was any such discipline as MGR, and both of you knew that it was just a code name for the deleted Anti-relativity, which was also, apparently, mostly original research by KraMuc. Until you are willing to propose and campaign for deletion of MGR, your pleas to take action against the antics of KraMuc could quite understandably be seen to ring hollow. Tim Shuba 03:42, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
@Tim: Strange things like modern galilean gravity exists, it got even its sort of journal Galilean relativity. Whether it's notable enough for Wikipedia is disputable. That it is totally out of contact with modern science is nearly indisputable (they've managed to get some papers accepted at arXiv, but that's not such a task). --Pjacobi 18:24, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I have reported the suspected socks at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/KraMuc (2nd). Unfortunately, despite diligently following the instructions (or so I believe), my evidence page was apparently too complex and the Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets has become slightly munged (the sections after the KraMuc case are indented one level too deep and I was unable to fix this). ---CH 04:51, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'll block on sight in the future, but it is hard to detect where he starts new fronts. --Pjacobi 18:24, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Did you get my email? I suggest that you and Crum copy User:Hillman/Dig/KraMuc to your own user pages, or somewhere in Wikipedia namespace, and edit that. Right now I think several possibly out-of-synch pages are preferable to one easily corrupted page. Therefore, I prefer to be the only user legitimately editing my dig usersubpages.---CH 02:40, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Here's one you may want to consider for your block on sight: Graf Grauenstein (talk · contribs) (after a TV actor?). Same thoughtprint, in fact first edit of this user is to comment on my comment on KraMuc's vandalization of User:Hillman/Dig/KraMuc, so I think it's pretty clear.---CH 07:59, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Done. --Pjacobi 08:27, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Thanks!
  2. Did you get any of my emails?
  3. Can you take a look at my 2nd case against KraMuc at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets? I did a heck of a lot of work and it seem to have been closed with a very odd comment almost immediately. Either I don't understand the purpose of that page, or else that user (not even an admin?) did something incorrect. Also, can you help me persaude them that they need to clean up their directions? In the case of a second nomination they are very confusing, although I almost figured it out by trial error. Also important: the directions should state that the evidence page should have such and such a format, because I didn't know that trying to construct a complicated case would confuse the templates. ---CH 01:05, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ad 3: Username block was done [7], the IPs will not be blocked (only for hours when reported right in the moment of vandalizing) as they are Deutsche Telekom dynamic IPs and will be switched often. If you mean the only one IP address had not made any contributions comment: it states that usefull contributions were done using these IPs in the past.

Hi Peter,
  1. Turns out that the email problem was at my end and I am getting it fixed. I didn't lose any email, fortunately, so we are still in email contact, hurrah!
  2. Have all the recently active registered users listed at User:Hillman/Dig/KraMuc been banned as socks for a permabanned user? I think the evidence is fully as clear as comparable cases I have seen. I recognize the difficulty of banning IPs and I wasn't suggesting that. I do think that recent instances of KraMuc as an IP anon should be promptly blocked for a few days or whatever. He seems to be such a pest that devising a special template a la bogdablock might be useful.
  3. Sorry, I still don't understand the comment in KraMuc (2nd). The problem appears to be that the Sockpuppet page desperately needs to more clearly describe the true procedure/policy/purpose of that page, e.g. clearly answering the question: where does one report a suspected sock of a permabanned user? I did a lot of work there and got a very garbled response, e.g. the commentator didn't clarify what IPs he was talking about, didn't look at the registered users, etc., didn't explain what he meant by "useful work". I see a huge disparity between the work I did and the apparent lack of work he did, and I am still not clear if he acted improperly in closing the case so quickly.
  4. I just left a relevant message in User talk:SCZenz. ---CH 20:51, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm logging off in a few minutes and will be offline one or two days.
The Sockpuppet page is a rather new invention and doesn't work that smoothly. Only post simple, short reports. Or post at AN/I, the Physics project page, an admin talk page you know.

Don't mess with Stuss

Since I have been banned from editing on de:Main_page for deleting nonsense, would you be so kind and check de:Kroaten from time to time? It appears that several people or sock puppets insist on the legend of the Aryan Croats from Persia. Fossa 19:56, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Based on the comments left on AN/I, I issued a 30 day topic ban to Mccready. (see Community probation log [8]) Discussion on talk pages is encouraged. Admins can enforce the ban if needed. Crosspost from AN:

Based on this discussion on AN/I [9] and the numerous comments on Mccready's talk page, Mccready (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) is issued a 30 day ban from editing all articles related to the Pseudoscience. Mccready is encouraged to discuss his ideas on the talk pages of these articles. The the suggested sanction for disregarding the article ban is a 24 hour block with the block time adjusted up or down according to Mccready's response. Admins are encouraged to monitor the ongoing effectiveness of this article topic ban and make appropriate adjustments if needed. FloNight 23:26, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Further discussion about the ban or request for enforcement can be made at AN/I or AN. FloNight 01:06, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Pentecostal Mission

Thanks for getting involved, I noticed it turning into a personal website advertising a church but wasn't quite sure what I could do about it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jason237 (talk • contribs) Pjacobi 17:50, 17 September 2006 (UTC).[reply]


Hey Jacob I have done this page from the scratch. I would like you to have a look at it and then may be you could do the necessary. Rencin Matthew.rencin24 14:06, 21 September 2006 (UTC) Here's the link to that page.[[10]]


Hey Pjacobi Help needed!!!

Hey this is Rencin. I worked in doing the page from the scratch. Now some unknown users are messing up the site please do something. I have just given them a warning. Will love to see you help in this page. have a look at this page.

User:Naina Kotwal

Can you please also revert all the edits that she has made [11]. She has left an abusive message in all the talk pages. It would be easier for you as you have the revert button. Tintin (talk) 11:47, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, some has edited (substed the template) after her, so it's not easy reverting. OTOH it seems, that all the accounts she left messages at, have zero edits. Perhaps someone is just stockpiling accounts? Also, what's the translation of her message? --Pjacobi 12:52, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
My Hindi is very weak, so I don't know meaning of the whole thing. But I can identify mention of a certain part of human body in the second line, which is a common term of abuse. Tintin (talk) 13:00, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Inline citations

Hi, I had a look at Wikipedia talk:Good article candidates, Wikipedia talk:What is a good article?, and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Good articles. There seems to be little discussion on mandating inline citations, and it seems to have been rushed before checking against consensus. --Kjoonlee 11:06, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
