Wikipedia Puzzle Globe

Hello Waldir, thank you for your note alerting me to the Puzzle Globe and logo debates (and sorry for the delay in responding!) You are more than welcome to upload or evangelize any graphics to the commons, and it would be great to see someone building on the starting point that Hazard and I were piecing together. I'm quite busy right now, but if there's enough critical mass in a discussion where people are serious about getting linguistics and 3D experts together... I could be easily persuaded to join in with my 2 cents. (By the way, I just got a comment today on the YouTube video from someone who has done the same model, so perhaps he would like to contribute.)

Archimedes bridge

Hi, thanks for contacting me. I'd be glad to do some work on Archimedes bridges for you, I haven't covered them directly but I have recently finished a tunnel engineering module at university so I can answer a few of your questions and expand the article with a little research.

Your assumption in tunnel differences is correct, the immersed tube tunnels only differ in that they are placed just below original seabed level and then covered with concrete or rock armour to protect the roof of the tunnel from stray ships anchors or other hazards. The Archimedes bridge is assembled in much the same way as an immersed tube except that when they are pumped out less ballast is used so that they have approximate hydrostatic equillibrium (ie the tunnel is roughly the same overall density as water), whereas immersed tube tunnels are ballasted more to weight them down to the sea bed. This, of course, means that an Archimedes bridge must be anchored to the ground or surface to keep it in place (which of these depends on which side of the equillibrium point the tunnel is). Archimedes bridges are able to deal with seismologic disturbances easily (as they have some degree of freedom in regards to movement) but as mentioned they are rather vulnerable in regards to anchors and such necesitating restrictions on shipping or use in only very deep channels.

Hope that clears a few things up. I hope to improve the article (may have a go at Immersed Tubes whilst I am at it) tomorrow or Wednesday, thanks for bringing it to my attention. If there's anything else you want to know let me know and i'll hopefully be able to explain it, cheers - Dumelow (talk) 22:09, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Just a note to say I haven't forgotten about these articles, I am a little busy at the moment so they have been put on the backburner for a while. I hope to be able to contribute more when I get back to university and have direct access to the library again. I am still keeping my eyes open in the various publications and papers I receive though for any mention of these tunnels so hopefully we can get a few decent refs from there but I am unlikely to be able to do any more until mid January, cheers - Dumelow (talk) 11:51, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Check

Are you still on-line? Maybe you’d like to check this. I will be off-line in 5 minutes... :-( Ten Islands (talk) 12:50, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

O. K., but I will wait for the opinion of Tanketz first. See you! Ten Islands (talk) 13:01, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi there, Waldir! I’ve seen the changes on the article Fogo. I know that there is no Wikiproject Cape Verde in the English Wiki, but since you are coordinating the Geography theme in the Portuguese Wikiproject Cape Verde, I’d like to ask for your opinion. I was planning replacing the infobox in the islands of Cape Verde (which actually is an infobox for mountains) with this one (which is based on Template:Infobox_Island):

{{{name}}}
[[Image:{{{image name}}}|250px|]]
Geography
[[Image:{{{locator map}}}|200px]]
Location	{{{location}}}
Coordinates	{{{coordinates}}}
Area	{{{area}}}
Highest point	{{{highest mount}}} {{{elevation}}}
Administration
{{{country admin divisions title}}}	{{{country admin divisions}}}
Largest city or town	{{{country largest city or town}}} ({{{country largest city or town population}}})
Demographics
Population	{{{population}}} (as of {{{population as of}}})
Density	{{{density}}}/km²

What do you think? Ten Islands (talk) 10:32, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

As you know, I’m not an expert in creating templates, therefore it’s natural if there are some mistakes:

1. Yes, it could have “Administrative Division” as a title.
2. Oops...
3. I don’t remember. Either it is a reminiscence of the “Infobox Island” template, either it was to put Barlavento or Sotavento.
4. You’re right!
5. In the french Wikipedia, the infobox for islands calculates automatically the density. I don’t know how it is done, but it can easy the work, no need to do calculations...
6. Oops...

Ten Islands (talk) 12:19, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: Sorry

Hi Waldir, I am genuinely sorry for not replying sooner, and no, I promise you that you have not done anything to offend me! Most of the other questions I was asked could be answered very quickly in one or two sentences, but the suggestions you have made are good ones, but they would take a long time, so I said to myself "I will get to that later when I have more time", and of course I never did. I think I need to admit to myself and to you that I just simply don't think that I will have the time to implement them. So my next best suggestion is that the Can-We-Link-It source code is all open and available under the GPL, and there are setup instructions available, and that if you're looking for a project then the suggestions you made (e.g. date section linking, list of suggestions for disambigs) all sound like valuable additions to me. -- All the best, Nickj (t) 00:29, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Cape Verde

Hi I've replied in part on Fritz's talk page. The main task for Cape Verde is to add new infoboxes to replace the old ones which have locator maps. See below. Each place in Cape Verde should have its own infobox with a locator map and coordinates: Wikipedia:WikiProject Cape Verde/Infobox. -- ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 23:53, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

PASD08 (vandalismo)

Olá WALDIR, aqui fala VASCO de PORTUGAL,

Reparei que mandaste uma mensagem bastante simpática para o utilizador PASD08, oferecendo ajuda. Não me parece que vá haver muita sorte, e passo a explicar porquê. Este utilizador teve primeiro a conta PARARUBBAS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Pararubbas) que foi, após vários avisos, em Inglês e Português (eu também sou portuga e acho que esta pessoa também é, porque "colabora" exclusivamente em artigos de futebol(istas) portugues(es)), finalmente bloqueada indefinidamente (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Pararubbas#Blocked).

Depois o mesmo indivíduo abriu a conta PEP10 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Pep10), repetindo o mesmo padrão de eliminação sem justicação de LINKS, REFS, TEMPLATES e outros (por ex. as setinhas nas INFOBOXES que designam empréstimo (→)) e sendo também bloqueado (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Pep10#December_2008). O utilizador/administrador SATORI SON, que seguiu isto de bem perto comigo, fez um checkuser que resultou no referido bloqueio (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Pep10), sendo também de referir que esta pessoa (PASD08) "contribuía" com vários IP anónimos.

Com a actual conta, PASD08 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Pasd08) isto continua: elimina o já referido, e ainda cola todas as frases numa só (esquecendo-se que há uma coisa chamada "parágrafos"). Lamento discordar caro WALDIR, mas ele não adiciona grande coisa aos artigos além das INFOBOXES (coisa que lhe disse várias vezes em PORTUGUÊS e INGLÊS que era atencioso da parte dele, e que não removesse o trabalho dos outros, por favor), muitas vezes adicionando verdadeiras mentiras aos artigos dos jogaodores, para engrandecer este ou aquele futebolista (exemplo aqui http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Jo%C3%A3o_Pereira_(Portuguese_footballer)&diff=prev&oldid=257327999, isto é totalmente falso), também disse que o Stélvio, um tipo que mal joga no Braga, estava na rota do AC Milan (http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=St%C3%A9lvio_Rosa_da_Cruz&diff=next&oldid=253870617, aqui com IP anónimo), etc, etc.

Porque é que eu te digo que não deve haver muita sorte? Porque ele NUNCA respondeu a uma mensagem (e como já disse, para o caso de ele não perceber Inglês, o que me parece óbvio pela maneira de escrever, já mandei msgs em Português), não sei se por não saber trabalhar com a "talkpage" ou não lhe apetecer, e NUNCA, isto após bem mais de 1000 alterações, se somarmos as três contas de que falei, NUNCA escreveu um sumário que fosse após fazer a sua "contribuição" (entre aspas, porque não me parece justo que apague o trabalho dos outros, isso não é contribuir).

O meu caro fica notificado, e ainda bem que estou a falar com alguém que também é administrador, porque isto é vandalismo.

Votos de bom trabalho e boa semana,

VASCO AMARAL - --NothingButAGoodNothing (talk) 22:54, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

PASD08 (vandalismo) - Parte 2

Respondendo à tua pergunta, embora já tenha detalhado tudo no texto em cima, repito: Não, nem PEP10 nem PARARUBBAS nem PASD08 alguma vez responderam, a mim ou a qualquer outra pessoa, a justificar esses comportamentos.

Abraços, votos de bom trabalho e boa semana,

VASCO AMARAL - --NothingButAGoodNothing (talk) 23:06, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

• Ah já percebi a confusão, a tua mensagem foi parar à minha conta anónima, apesar de eu ter enviado a minha original com a conta NOTHINGBUTAGOODNOTHING...Enfim, tecnologias, desculpa a confusão.

VASCO AMARAL - --217.129.67.28 (talk) 23:10, 17 January 2009 (UTC) (a conta anónima)

PARARUBBAS/PEP10/PASD08 (mesma pessoa)

Oi outra vez Waldir, VASCO aqui,

Na tua mensagem que foi parar ao meu IP anónimo, falavas na boa fé deste senhor, temo mais uma vez discordar. Eis exemplos para reforçar a minha ideia:

Dantes, ele limitava-se a tirar REFS E LINKS (exemplo aqui, em IP anónimo http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Carlos_Carneiro&diff=prev&oldid=244803642) mas, penso eu, à medida que foi ficando mais conhecedor dos meandros do espaço, percebeu que, por exemplo, removendo o REFLIST TEMPLATE, já não precisava de manualmente apagar a REFERÊNCIA inteira, apagando só esse campo, as REFS já não ficavam disponíveis. Foi o que fez nestes dois exemplos (http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Livio_Prieto&diff=prev&oldid=264727706 e http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Raul_Meireles&diff=263163234&oldid=262433421).

Boa fé? Não me parece mas, ainda que fosse, como é que se interage com uma pessoa que não o quer fazer (recordo, ZERO mensagens, muitas em PORTUGUÊS, respondidas, ZERO sumários escritos)? Ah, e ainda bem que estou a falar com um administrador, e MÚLTIPLOS IP anónimos, algo que já me disseram que é muitas vezes feito para evadir um bloqueio e que é inaceitável pelos padrões da WIKIPÉDIA. Já agora, também te envio "cópias" dos meus dois relatórios enviados à WP/ANI, onde também aparecem registados IP anónimos deste senhor que eu descobri (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive505#Likely_sock_of_indef_blocked_user). Estranhamente, não me "ligaram nenhuma", em 500 e tal exposições nos últimos dias, as minhas foram AS ÚNICAS que não foram dignas de resposta. Porquê, não sei.

Abraços, VASCO AMARAL - --NothingButAGoodNothing (talk) 01:44, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

PASD08/PARARUBBAS

Caro WALDIR, obrigado pela resposta,

Neste momento, para te elucidar, podes incluir-me ("no worries") no grupo dos que pensa que este senhor actua com má-fé, porque a única outra hipótese seria ele ser deficiente mental, o que não se aplica porque sabe trabalhar com um computador. Como é que se justifica a (não)resposta a nenhuma mensagem e igual número de sumários?

O facto de já ter sido banido duas vezes, uma das quais após intervenção de um administrador, mostra também um padrão, acho eu. A tua frase "No caso dele, ele podia ser um vândalo, mas o facto dele adicionar informações mostra que ele tem pelo menos uma réstea de boa-fé, que deve ser aproveitada. Se conversarmos com essa parte da personalidade dele, a parte má pode aos poucos se atenuar" mostra uma esperança inusual mas, meu caro, digo-te, nós não estamos a falar com ele, estamos a falar para o boneco...Ah, e adicionar inf.FALSAS (como exemplifiquei na minha outra missiva) não é adicionar, acho eu, pá.

Finalmente, digo que sei que és admin na Wiki Portuguesa não nas Inglesa, mas queria que me indicasses um caminho a seguir, como utilizador + experiente (e por favor sem contar a WP/ANI, lá só encontro "wiki-desprezo"). Talvez tu pudesses relatar ou pedir ajuda a um admin que conheças lá. O amigo SATORI simplesmente desapareceu, há semanas que não responde a mensagens nem edita.

Um abraço, obrigado por tudo,

VASCO AMARAL - --NothingButAGoodNothing (talk) 17:15, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

• Ah meu caro, e sem querer "armar-me em esperto": Disseste também que muitas vezes, um vândalo se for atacado (muitas vezes é com razão, embora concorde que há formas e formas de o fazer), é provável que a sua reacção não seja muito boa. E então põe-se a fazer o quê? A remover LINKS e REFS sem dar cavaco? E repara também (apesar de eu achar que ele não pesca nada de Inglês, entre outras coisas), mandaste-lhe uma mensagem simpática, ele respondeu? Não, nem o vai fazer.

Dizia, se se põe a remover conteúdos sem dizer "água vai", arrisca-se (e muitíssimo bem) a ser castigado. Se continuar, arrisca-se ao alargamento do castigo. Outro exemplo de boa fé "ao contrário", e que me faz pensar que, tal como eu o sigo a ele, o oposto pode ser uma realidade: no artigo de Lisandro López, poucas horas depois de eu reverter as suas "coisitas" (colar as frases todas, remover PCUPDATES, inserir um TEMPLATE inexistente, organizar mal a secção de HONRAS, curiosamente, não removeu os LINKS, WOW deve-se ter esquecido), ele entrou e re-reverteu. Olha, eu também, assim que dei pelo caso.

Meu caro WALDIR, precisava mesmo de uma ajudinha neste caso, isto está claramente a ficar fora de controlo e garanto-te, boa fé não é, ou é falta de conhecimento técnico e se ele não fala com as pessoas não há nada a fazer, ou é de propósito (se calhar ainda se vem a descobrir um dia que ele fala melhor inglês que tu ou eu).

Grandes cumprimentos e bem-haja(s),

VASCO AMARAL - --NothingButAGoodNothing (talk) 18:44, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

PASD08 (+ mais uma tentativa)

WALDIR, cá está o "chato" outra vez (eu ;)),

Para não dizerem que eu não tento, vê bem a mensagem que mandei ao compadre: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Pasd08#Portuguese_Liga_TOP_SCORERS).

E + outro dado: MUITO antes de alguém (eu ou mais alguém) começar "a picar" com ele, ou mesmo só perguntar, acerca dos conteúdos removidos, já ele o fazia, portanto ninguém o provocou, foi sim o contrário.

Esperando que ele continue como nos últimos 10 minutos (a minha vida na WIKI tem sido isto e mais nada há um ano, já começa a cheirar mal), um abraço,

VASCO AMARAL - --NothingButAGoodNothing (talk) 19:20, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

WP/ANI

Olá WALDIR,

Obrigado pelas tuas palavras "sóbrias", dá sempre gosto falar assim. Em relação à sugestão que fizeste sobre reportar (coisa que já fiz com informação relativamente detalhada, mas pode ser que com uma abordagem incorrecta), tens uma "cópia" do relatório no ponto 8 desta tua "talkpage". Tens carta branca para fazer as alterações de conteúdo e abordagem que entenderes. Se houver problemas, contacta-me.

O "amigo" SATORI também me falou em bloqueios de longo alcance, que raramente são impostos para não fazer "os justos pagarem pelos pecadores". Conheces algum caso? Olha, eu cá nem me importava que um bloqueio dessa natureza me impedisse de editar, desde que resolvesse este (e outros) "affaire(s)".

Um grande abraço, boa semana (e wiki-semana),

VASCO AMARAL - --NothingButAGoodNothing (talk) 16:09, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

• Só mais um acrescento (estou a ficar, reconheço, um pouco chatito): repara neste exemplo, um pouco antigo Cristian Martinez; aqui (com IP anónimo, mas basta ver o TALK e a história de edições para reconhecer "padrões suspeitos") ele não removeu o LINK, ele adicionou!!! (http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Cristian_Mart%C3%ADnez&diff=257687055&oldid=247750013)

Fico confuso, e não percebo ao que é que este sujeito anda a brincar (sim, mas mesmo que tenhamos, e é real, é um "acrescento", uma adição, temos, para "contrabalançar", centenas, quase MILHARES de eliminações sem sentido, e por uma pessoa sem vontade de interagir). Acabo a missiva reconhecendo que sim, a minha mensagem ao compadre foi cordial mas sarcástica (não sei como comunicar com tipos deste calibre, mas não insultei e só pus em CAPS a palavra TEMPLATE), e reiterando que tens carta branca para alterar a minha mensagem no WP/ANI, contacta-me caso hajam dúvidas ou afins.

Boa semana, força na escola e afins,

VASCO AMARAL - --NothingButAGoodNothing (talk) 23:13, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Michael again

hi its me again i have read that you where an administrator could you tell me how to delete something or can only administrators do that

"Fala para aí...", diz alguém

Meu caro WALDIR,

Isto continua, mensagens sarcásticas, simpáticas, perguntas simples ou difíceis, vai tudo dar ao mesmo. Exemplo do dia de hoje: Pawel Kieszek (http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Pawe%C5%82_Kieszek&diff=265304604&oldid=260171242), LINKS fora, porque sim! Aliás, eu fiquei com a sensação que, quando ele meteu aquele template de MELHORES MARCADORES DO CAMPEONATO PORTUGUÊS em vários artigos, estava à pressa, e por isso não destruiu nada, ficou para depois, como se vê no exemplo.

Por favor, meu caro, faz qualquer coisa com os textos que te dei, como sugeriste, ou então, caso não possas/queiras, fala com alguém, este gajo não vai parar (aliás, nem quando esta conta (se for) for banida, limita-se a fazer outra ou a "editar" anonimamente, mas ao menos também devia ter algum trabalho e chatices, como nós)

Caso esteja a incomodar, apita,

VASCO AMARAL - --NothingButAGoodNothing (talk) 16:44, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

• Ainda assim, enviei um relatório à WPANI, onde enviei DIFFS, fui educado, e não usei CAPS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Disruptive_editors). Não estou à espera de ajuda, e o gajo hoje (20-01-2009) esta imparável!!!

Abraços, VASCO - --NothingButAGoodNothing (talk) 17:18, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

• Meu caro, desculpa também eu pela insistência. Em princípio as reacções foram boas, e obrigado pela ajuda no relatório. Como o tipo não vai responder como pedido, a conta vai ser bloqueada INDEF. Boas notícias? Relativamente...Se reparares, quando foi a conta PEP10 (juntamente com PARARUBBAS) bloqueada? 17 Dezembro. Quando começou a conta PASD08 a "trabalhar"? 1 Janeiro (fora os "feitos" anónimos), portanto duas semanas e volta tudo ao mesmo...Que grande imbecil! Isto não dá vontade mesmo de continuar no projecto, penso que se ele voltar "à carga", eu desisto (e com três contas, porque não a quarta?)! Já agora, há quase duas semanas que fiz um relatório no WPFOOTY (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Football#Disruptive_football_editor) e resposta ZERO, também muito agradável...Bom ao menos não fui repreendido.

Obrigado por tudo, responde só quando tiveres tempo, cumprimentos,

VASCO AMARAL - --NothingButAGoodNothing (talk) 00:44, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

O que é que é isto??

Meu caro WALDIR, fala VASCO,

Espero que esteja "tudo em cima". Como vi a tua contribuição neste artigo, e não sei fazer o que vou falar a seguir, peço-te o obséquio: por favor, alguém que apague isto tudo, que este jogador é inventado. Não é sequer júnior, pesquisei tudo no PORTO e PAÇOS F. nada, zero!

Cumprimentos, o nosso caro vândalo PASD08 (o PARARUBBAS) tem estado descansadinho aparentemente, mas sei que qualquer dia abre outra conta. Olha, se abrir, estou-me nas tintas, ele que se divirta, tendo em conta que já deve ser pelo menos um adolescente, se não consegue "ver a luz" numa coisa tão de somenos importância como um simples sítio da INTERNET (se bem que um dos mais, se não O MAIS completo), não sou eu que lhe vou ensinar.

Um abraço, resto de bom fds,

Hello, Waldyrious. You have new messages at Ferkel's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

He is back!!!

Oi amigo WALDIR, aqui VASCO (agora "vai" em inglês, porque este texto é copy/paste de uma "missiva" que enviei a um admin nessa linguagem, e como tu percebes o idioma quase como um autóctone, "no problems"...)

Do you remember PARARUBBAS aka PEP10 aka PASD08 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Pasd08#Sock_of_Pararubbas)? Well, the vandal is back, now with the account KAKD08 ("contributions" here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Kakd08).

The modus operandi is, unfortunately and obviously, the same as seen here (http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Vitorino_Antunes&diff=269312444&oldid=266434623). As you can see, now he is magnanimous enough to leave the EXTERNAL LINKS, but continues to "hate" REFERENCES and paragraphs, "gluing" all sentences...It's him, alright!!! I am tired sick of idiots like this, i am leaving the project for good but, before i did so, thought i'd drop you a line as you helped me (and the site ultimately) the other time.

Greetings, have a nice week,

• Agora na nossa língua: Ah, e sei também que a mensagem que deixei na página do estúpido foi tudo menos bem-educada mas, o que é que me vai acontecer? Bom, se calhar ainda alguém que soubesse português me reportava e eu é que era banido, uma questão que não se põe porque eu vou-me, tal como já disse, WIKI-pisgar.

Já tenho ouvido falar em bloqueios de longo alcance mas, aparentemente, um tipo que vai na quarta conta, sempre a fazer a mesma m... não é razão de peso para actuar. Pois bem, ele e os da sua laia que se divirtam que eu já não os aturo!!!

Meu caro WALDIR, prazer em comunicar contigo, se um dia vieres a BEJA apita, tudo do melhor, abraços

Removed category in redirect page

Hi, I noticed that you removed (again) the category tag of the redirect page for Epipolar line, and now with the comment that the category should be in the target article. Since the target article already had a category tag, I'm a bit puzzled by your edit. Is there some rule against having both the redirect and the target article in the same category? --KYN (talk) 21:30, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Razões para sair

Então WALDIR, tudo na boa?

Eu cá, WIKI-falando, na fossa. Disse que ia sair do projecto e vou (a única maneira de tal não suceder é um bloqueio de longo alcance neste pacóvio KAKD08, mas sei que não se vai dar porque ainda não se deu, ao fim de três contas) mas, ainda assim, tive "a lata" de reportar o caso à WP/ANI (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Disruptive_editor.2FSockpuppet). O que é que aconteceu? Pois pá, como diz o título, mais uma razão para sair, embora nada que me surpreendesse: eu reporto, nada, a rapaziada que reporta a seguir a mim, recebe uma(s) palavrinha(s) em questão de três, quatro, cinco minutos, e tem sido sempre assim, o que me leva a pensar: se a maioria das pessoas recebe "feed-back" aos relatórios (independentemente de este ser positivo ou negativo) em tão curto espaço de tempo, quer dizer que este campo está constantemente monitorizado, e portanto, se o meu caso não é abordado nem mal nem bem (e agora não podes dizer que estou a inventar porque não estou, em seis, sete casos, muito antes da gente se WIKI-conhecer, fiquei "a ver navios", nem uma linha tive de resposta) que posso/vou eu fazer?

Aliás, naquele caso que culminou na suspensão do idiota PASD08 (http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=prev&oldid=265562039#Disruptive_editors não serviu para nada mas tentou-se), tenho cá para mim que se não tivesses intervido, também não me ligavam nenhuma...Por isso, meu caro amigo, se pensas que sair do projecto é dar parte fraca, pronto, é uma opinião vinda de uma pessoa que já fez por merecer a minha estima e consideração, por isso, não me merece uma abordagem negativ(ist)a.

Bom então, como não pensas visitar o Alentejo nos próximos tempos, seria de esperar que "ficássemos por aqui" mas, como isto da WIKI é quase como se fosse (é quase NÃO, É :)) um correio electrónico, um dia destes escrevo umas linhas, a saber como vai tudo contigo, independentemente da situação do vândalo (aliás, como eu já suspeitava, ele não pára por nada, portanto a seguir à 4ª conta vem a 5ª, etc, etc, etc).

Abraços, cuida-te e tudo do melhor,

• Desculpa meu, é que recebi uma mensagem útil enquanto mandava esta para ti: O utilizador User:BanRay sugeriu que eu contactasse um campo que, vendo o título, ainda me parece mais apropriado, SOCKPUPPET INVESTIGATIONS, e eu assim fiz, usando o mesmo texto que para o WP/ANI (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Sockpuppet_investigations#Disruptive_editor.2FSockpuppet), mas não estou á espera de resposta.

Okeydokey

Então WALDIR, como vai isso (e antes de mais, reparei que agora escreves em inglês; se achas que, por motivos logísticos ou outrem é melhor que eu o faça também, "it will be done")?

Sem problemas meu caro, não fiquei nada ofendido, as tuas palavras foram pelo melhor, é certo que quando se abandona o projecto por vandalismo, quem ganha são os "maus" não os "bons", mas é que custa muito (aliás o KAKD08 já voltou, após um dia de descanso, para ver se alguém se esquecia talvez?, ao "trabalho" http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Jos%C3%A9_Carlos_Fernandes_Vidigal&diff=269806802&oldid=259804600).

Estou desempregado há três anos, e pensei que isto era uma boa forma de passar o tempo enquanto não vêm melhores dias, e vêem imbecis destes "gozar com o pagode" (sim, porque já conseguiste ver que isto é mal-intencionado, e o que mais me deixa de boca aberta é que o tipo até faz coisas que podem ser catalogadas como "boas adições" - e continuo - mal-intencionado porque, mesmo que não falasse uma pinga de Inglês (e não fala, julgando pelos textos magníficos que insere), já se tentou falar com ele em Português (e primeiro bem))? Até a grande Cesária Évora se passava com isto!!! :) :)

O pior é que a WIKIPEDIA não é, como bem sabes, um sítio como qualquer outro, e dá uma sensação de poder, de pertença, de comunidade, precisamente por ser este "livro aberto sem palavras, a toda a hora, a qualquer altura". E digo "pior" porque já vi que me vai custar muito sair, porque ainda hoje, além de reverter as porcarias do vândalo, fiz umas edições suplementares. Acho que tens razão, quando se deixa o projecto ganham eles, mas eu encaro isto como uma empresa onde toda a gente trabalha para ser remunerada em saber mas, onde trabalham alguns colegas muito maus e, sendo assim, é melhor um tipo despedir-se...

Um abraço, ou "Cheers",

what did bubbledude do put a new LDC bullshit or something i just perfected a few things on the page (Questchest (talk) 16:40, 13 February 2009 (UTC)) have you seen Cape Verdean American page there are so many faults now thanks to unknown guest capeveriano check the history (Questchest (talk) 01:37, 14 February 2009 (UTC)) hi its me again check this out http://www.nytimes.com/ref/world/20070622_CAPEVERDE_GRAPHIC.html# i got it from new york times and sorry for insults i didnt understand any of it are they talking about cape verdean immigrant about 190 mil or something like that could you help (teach) me about that page

today if seen the cape verde page i think its a little bit to much on the external and the editor didnt even talk or got a talk page im asking you to check out even the population site has changed (Questchest (talk) 21:32, 17 February 2009 (UTC))

Cape Verde

Hi Waldir, read your msg on my talk page but realised (being new) I've no idea how to reply!! (LOL) Is this how you do it/where it goes?! I've really no idea :-/ If I've got it wrong please let me know/move my text. Went to your website (professional/stylish) but I couldn't find a means to contact you from it? Glad you like the CV work. I've got loads more planned, so I'll be seeking advice/opinions from the Wikipedia:WikiProject Cape Verde group. Oh and feel free to call me Marc, Wiki User 68 is too much typing! Wiki User 68 talk 13:00, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

AH! I see. You created a new section called <this> and simply pasted it. I assumed when I looked that the previous Cape Verde in your Contents here was related to your CV Section on my page, so that's where I stuck it! Now I see. I assume I only use a new section when starting a conversation on a new topic, otherwise I do as I've just done? Re my work so far; I've designed/built websites before but generally using GUI's for productivity purposes (yes I know it's bad) and now find myself paying for it on here (LOL). I do draw on the Wiki work of others for speed (codewise)but chop it to make it my own (is that naughty-laughter). Personally I don't mind people using mine whatsoever if it's for a good cause like Wikipedia. Plus it increases productivity with what little human resources Wikipedia has.

Cape Verde has a bright future, and I intend to bring together the information resources to assist CV in achieving that, among other projects! Ah, I'm required..BFN Wiki User 68 talk 14:42, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

I wonder if you'd be kind enough to view "too much" on my talk page. I'm not sure if you knew, but I had added extra external links to the bottom of the main CV page which I felt were relevant to that page. The copy on my talk explain what happened to them! I would be interested in your opinion. Many thanks, Marc Wiki User 68 talk 16:27, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

hey waldir i tought that the external links of wiki user 68 was to much and if you check correctly they where already on the cape verde topics so i cleared some things even portugal brazil or spain werent even there (Questchest (talk) 22:37, 18 February 2009 (UTC))

i just thought about something that only one thing is missing cape verde population clock i tought that the web site national statistics had that but then again is there a population clock for cape verde or can you find one in cape verdean i think National Institute of Statistics has that but i cant read cape verdean —Preceding unsigned comment added by Questchest (talk • contribs) 23:17, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Languages

Hi Waldir, hope you've had a good week. Started watching the video but got interrupted, so it's on my list. I've been reading your pages and noticed you only give your English abilities as Level-3!? You Are joking aren't you!? I'm a Native English speaker and believe-you-me you're easily ((user en-5))((clear)) and I think you should upgrade your User page accordingly(not with that fake link of course). To be perfectly honest, no native English speaker would ever know you weren't English! (LOL) Wiki User 68 ^{Blah Stuff} 14:00, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Trust me, the communication we're having through this medium IS professional level (and more)!! You're very lucky to be this fluent in Criolu, Portuguese and English. You only need Espanol and you've got the World covered!!(LOL) Mi Espanol es muy mal. Para mi, no pasa nada. Talking of languages...

I noticed Wiki's available in "simple english" (very clever) but more interesting than that, it's available in Volapük! Why is that interesting you ask? The reason is that there's less than 50 fluent speakers in the world...but I believe there's about 1.5 million...

Cape Verdean Criolu speakers in the world...You know what I'm gonna say next (LOL) I feel a project coming on (Ooo!) Yes, I can see the shear terror on your face, but truthfully, I ask you..Volapük!? Who has THAT much spare time? At least Criolu is an officially recognised language and with, well in not too distant future, 2 million speakers. If you're up for it, we could start with a Criolu version of Opera (the browser). We request the list of words from Opera software and supply them the results. I believe it's straightforward. One day it will happen on both subjects. The question is; Who will have the time for it...Wiki User 68 ^{Blah Stuff} 00:32, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Waldir, hope you had a good weekend. Glad I made you laugh! :-) Ok, where-to-begin...

What I knew re CVC - Different on every Island, with associated literature, but not Worlds apart considering. I personally believe it's very important for CV to...

a) Retain it's spoken/written use of CV creole (THE language AND its variants), note1

b) Not standardise the language collectively (ie. don't lose the variants) but either choose one variant as a standard National Form (as Italy did choosing Tuscan Italian over the other national variants in the last 100ish yrs - Yes, Italian is a recent language really!) or..

c) Scientifically make a variant that is a merger of the most common elements within the language {set}. That makes it not too alien to all.

note1 Retainment of CVC has cultural and commercial significance!

ie-It's a living medieval language and international tourism loves that!

Experience tells us that the Italian method works, whereas constructural methods have proven unsuccessfull...so far..(Esperanto, Volupuk et al)

I'll be honest, successfully standardising a medieval language on behalf of a sovereign nation, is definitely one to tell the grand-kids :-) But the truth is it's do-able. The secret is standardising the written/read language and allowing the variants to live freely in the spoken form.

I call it the Cake and Eat it theory...Why would I have a theory?...

While living abroad amoung many different Euro-nationals I came to realise that it is possible to construct a European language based on the most statisically used words across all the languages with a dual grammer system, ie house-white white-house etc. My scientific interest in languages goes back a long, loonngg way! There is even a reduced template of words (850) already in existence.

The one thing that is really important is that CV has to be a CVC and portuguese bi-lingual nation. That is a must in this World. The real question is what should CV's third language be...Wiki User 68 ^{Blah Stuff} 01:05, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Waldir, Marc here. Read your msg. I'm on Yahoo, Gmail, Facebook, Skype - I think that's it!? I'm just reading up on the historical development of kea. In short, it's going to be either Santiago kea (least work) or the former and Mindel kea somewhow seamlessly merged together (more work)...

Pro's for Santiago is it's the majority variant. Cons are it upsets everyone else. I don't know enough (yet) about the variations between the two prominent variants. In addition, who on the islands knows the most on this subject academically or would that knowledge reside in Lisboa? Whatever decisions are made and implemented in the "digital" and then used will have a Life of its own - errors, mistakes and UPSETS and all! It's gonna need thought and consultation, and statisically there's the possibility that someone's working on it currently - you made reference to recent government work?! Wiki User 68 ^{Blah Stuff} 20:20, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Waldir, just sent chat invite. I have questions: What variant do you speak? What variant is Asemana published in? What variant is most common with CV'ans abroad? How different is the CV portuguese from the European one? I know there are differences between the two, but not "by how much". You know the original variant is also the one spoken by the most people. Could be key. Wiki User 68 ^{Blah Stuff} 21:30, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

WALDIR meu caro, isto hoje vai em inglês, é "copy/paste" :)

Again!!! PARARUBBAS has opened a new account, now the gentleman's called MNHT08 ("contributions" here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Mnht08). He continues to glue sentences (Rio Ave FC) and glue sentences and remove links just because (Orlando Sá, Hélio Sousa, Bassey William Andem). I don't want to be intrusive or anything, but how about a long-range block on this idiot (although i know others would still "suffer", but being for the common good...)?

Kind regards, VASCO AMARAL, Portugal - --NothingButAGoodNothing (talk) 17:06, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

• Wow, Waldir (now i also write in English, but only because i am mentioning another user, in this case user/admin), i have really let myself go. First, i reacted poorly to Pararubbas' shit, and that's not how i am, i want to get along with everybody, this is really getting out of hand, help please, man... :( This leads us to the second issue:

User:EdJohnston saw my report (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:SPI#SOCK_vandal_.28and_counting....29), and was not happy at all with the outlook of it. I already asked for him to help, and also told him (and you my friend) that the use of caps will be avoided from now on, 100% guaranteed. Could you, having the report "copy" in "hands", also help in this case. You could also message Ed if you liked. If i have done something wrong (a very good chance i did, with all my good intention), maybe we could, as a team, make the report and request for block, better.

Kind regards, Vasco Amaral - --NothingButAGoodNothing (talk) 19:25, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Obrigado(s)

Olá Waldir, Vasco por aqui,

obrigado meu amigo, mais uma vez, pelas palavras sábias e ponderadas, tiveste razão em tudo. Reconheço que as minhas reacções por vezes não são as melhores, mas reconhecerás, espero eu, que atitutes como as deste tipo são de deixar o mais pacato (e eu admito que estou muito longe de o ser) com uma bebedeira de frustração difícil de ressacar. Ao fim de seis contas (e devem ser sete, porque não vai haver bloqueio de longo alcance), ainda não percebi muito bem qual é a dele...

Isso leva-me, antes das despedidas, a outro ponto. Os bloqueios de longo alcance (long range blocks). Já perguntei a cinco ou seis editores como funcionam, em que circunstâncias se aplicam, nem um teve a cortesia de me explicar. Será segredo?

Meu caro, votos de um ótimo fim-de-semana, e consegui, consegui, uma mensagem inteira sem ALL CAPS...Oops... :)

Abraços, Vasco - --NothingButAGoodNothing (talk) 16:44, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

• Ah, lembrei-me agora: em relação às linhas directivas da WP, quando não faço bem (por exemplo limitar-me a fazer copy/paste de um item que quero mostrar) é porque não sei fazer melhor (um pouco La Palisse eu sei), nunca me dei muito ao trabalho de aprender as "regras da casa", apenas faço tudo de alma e coração, pelo projecto. Quando reporto um vândalo com as armas que tenho e, ainda assim, consigo ficar mal na fotografia, acho um pouco (?) injusto. Também, tal como referi um pouco acima, sei que às vezes fui um pouco "acima da fasquia" na abordagem com os vândalos, mas só com esses, e esses merecem (sim eu sei, Don't feed the trolls) e, se um dia for chamado "à pedra" por comportamentos menos próprios, tentarei defender-me o melhor que puder.

De um wiki-amigo (sempre que precisares da minha modesta ajuda, apita), abraços. Também prometo que vou tentar (pela enésima vez) ser 100% educado e sensato com toda a gente, mesmo com os piores vândalos. É muito difícil...

Re: Logo questions

Hi and thanks for your message!

See my blog (http://bjornsmestad.blogspot.com/2009/05/on-wikipedia-logo.html) for what I remember on this story at the moment. In answer to your questions: 1. I don't think Nupedia ever used my logo. Another logo was selected from the competition and was used for Nupedia. Thus, when my logo was chosen for Wikipedia, it was not as the winner of the Nupedia competition. Probably, the other entries in that competition were more clearly "N"s, and therefore even less useful for Wikipedia... 2. As the Nupedia competition took place in 2000, it was already finished when ScottMoonen made those comments. 3. The two black vertical lines were included in an effort to make the logo seem like an "N". However, it is ironical that while I probably didn't succeed too much in making it appear like an "N", that may be precisely why it could be used for Wikipedia...

De boca aberta

Olá WALDIR,

só para te dizer que estou de cabeça à banda...O administrador Ed Johnston, que me tem ajudado também no caso do PARARUBBAS, ensinou-me a saber como saber em que país está a operar um endereço anónimo (para o caso de não saberes, é assim: vais a "contribuições" do endereço pretendido e, mesmo mesmo cá em baixo, tens duas hipóteses: uma é "WHOIS" e, mais infalível ainda, "GEOLOCATE"); bom, peguei em 5, 6 endereços anónimos do vândalo e...está em Inglaterra!!! Esta é que eu não estava à espera, obviamente pode continuar a ser tão Português como eu ou tu e, mesmo que seja Inglês, foi interpelado e avisado Q.B. nesse idioma...O gajo é um grande brincalhão mas é...

peer-to-peer cat

Hey, your category additions to peer-to-peer were reverted - though not by me, since I do think that they belong there. Categories are collections of closely related material, and those are certainly closely related. I've found that User:Kbrose, who reverted you, and then me when I put the categories back, often makes reasonably good contributions, but tends to flatly remove content that he or she disagrees with without explanation, and often without response to objections (which sometimes makes editing there difficult, since there are often few editors watching those pages). If you want to figure out why they object, you can do so, but you might also want to just put your changes back until they provide an explanation.    M   18:19, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Recently created

There was a recent discussion of this criteria on the policy page that probably explains it better than I could - Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion/Archive 36#R3 - why only recent?. Basically from my reading the rationale was that people felt that older redirects should go through RFD as speedy should be kept to limited cases, although there were others who felt the wording should be removed.

Pedobear

I have unprotected and restored the talk page since the history of the discussion might be useful. The history of the article remains deleted since there's never been consensus for anything but a redirect, as far as I can tell. I have left both the redirect and the Talk unprotected since there hasn't been any vandalism or edit-warring, but if either starts up and I don't catch it a request at WP:RfPP would, of course, be called for. Thanks for the heads up, I should have at least unprotected the Talk page when I recreated the article but I didn't think to look for page protection. Eluchil404 (talk) 23:25, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Couple of things

1. I don't know if you're familiar with the new "development" village pump. You might like to try it next time as the responses tend to me more considered and less reactionary.
2. I wondered whether you had considered putting yourself forward for adminship. You would seem to be an ideal candidate.

template:Chemical formula

Hi, I've been fiddling a bit with template:Chemical formula (see talk page) and used it on a couple of obscure mineral articles (Hisingerite, Hazenite & Brushite). I like the idea, but it do get cumbersome with non-simple formulas, but so is the  stuff. Problems include handling parens, commas and oxidation state while keeping track of even/odd positions. I'd be interested in your further thoughts on this. Vsmith (talk) 02:37, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Placement of hatnotes

Hi, I noticed you re-ordered the templates on Notebook here. In case you didn't know, WP:HNP states that "Hatnotes are placed at the very top of the article, before any other items such as images, navigational templates and maintenance templates (like the "cleanup", "unreferenced", and "POV" templates)". --NeilN ^{talk to me} 11:31, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Oh, thanks for pointing that out. My goal was to combine the hatnotes together, not necessarily under the maintenance template. I'll combine them over it, then :) --Waldir ^talk 11:37, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Editing comments

Hi,

please don't edit my comments like this. I don't use bold text in XfDs specifically because of an observation that some editors tend to simply read the bold text and then skip to the next line. I rather feel that participants in an XfD should be taking the time to examine the full content of people's replies. Thanks. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 10:42, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi! I noticed your improvements to the template code. At the moment, there is an update request pending (see Template talk:Drugbox#Styling update) which will undo your edit since the template's sandbox doesn't contain your code.

Re: Histmerge help

Hi Waldir, I probably wouldn't have done the history merge if I were you. IMO history merges should *only* be used to fix cut-and-paste moves, not in cases where two articles were merged; the latter case causes confusing diffs, as you noted in the Actaea page history. I recently ranted about this topic at Talk:Biblical canon#Major surgery on the "Christian canons" section. If I were you, I would have just merged the articles by copy and paste with an edit summary like "merged with Actaea (mythology); that is sufficient attribution. Or you could have moved the old "Actaea" history to a title like "Talk:Actaea/Old history to preserve it, moved "Actaea (mythology)" to "Actaea", and merge it from there (noting where the old history was in the edit summary). Undoing the history merge should be relatively straightforward, if you want to do that, since not too many revisions are involved. Or I could rejig it for you. Graham87 13:47, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Done. I thought this was a good enough excuse for a dummy edit. :-) Graham87 14:11, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

I agree that it's not worth the effort to un-switch the histories. As for restoring revisions that were deleted through old AFDs, it's quite acceptable, and it's what this section of DRV is for. Graham87 15:05, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Also, your "un-history merging" of the Chitrakoot Falls page was fine. Graham87 15:09, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

OK, sounds good. I've restored the history. Graham87 03:28, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Cool. However I just noticed that in the DRV page that I just linked, it said "behind a new, improved version of the article", so I technically violated the rules of that page. However I would have done the restoration anyway. Graham87 02:43, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

No probs. Yeah, I think that was a good time for IAR; it was a less extreme version of my major goof-up at disability etiquette. Graham87 06:01, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Expand section

Nice edit summary here. :) Question, why did you added an option for 'small'? If I look at this template it should be and already is small. So why this extra option. Garion96 (talk) 13:20, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

That should teach me to use the sandbox instead :) About the parameter, I explained the addition on this edit summary. Case in point: P versus NP problem#Notable attempts at proof. Cheers, Waldir ^talk 13:45, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Since there was quite a long discussion about making this template larger (and there currently is again a discussion about this) which was rejected it would have been better to first discuss this change on the talk page though. Personally I don't really like it, I prefer keeping this template always "small". That said, if it only is large when used with other templates I also don't mind that much either. Garion96 (talk) 14:05, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

I am aware of the lengthy discussions regarding this template; but since I didn't change the default behavior, and the need for this change, in the use case I pointed (to align with other templates if there are any) is pretty uncontroversial, IMO, I thought it wouldn't be a problem. Besides, I purposely didn't include a mention of the feature in the documentation (but this can be added later if there's consensus that it would be harmless). --Waldir ^talk 14:12, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Template

Please desist from putting this daft template [2] om Mistress (lover). It serves no purpose there at all. In fact, it's hard to see what possible purpose it could serve anywhere; it is one of the most pointless and clumbersome things I have seen in my years at Wikipedia.  Giacomo  09:46, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

I don't understand what is the problem with the template. It serves the same purpose as the countless other navigation templates. Do you believe all of these are useless and should be discontinued? Otherwise, do you think this one is different from the other navboxes? If so, why? --Waldir ^talk 10:08, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

It is unecessary because it is peurile, a fool knows what a relationship is. It then goes on to list all form of relationship known to mankind and quite a few it seems unknown to mankind. If you must plaster these things all over pages, they should be discrete and at the bottom of the page, not distorting the lead and causing great white voids. I have devised templates myself (or to be precise had other people devise them for me) see Template:The Winter Palace, but that was to provide links to similar pages that most people really may not know existed or were connected. The most kind thing one can say about your template is that it is patronising to the reader.  Giacomo  10:30, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Feel free to convert the template into a standard {{navbox}}, but removing it altogether from the article for (1) aesthetic purposes ("distorting the lead and causing great white voids") –especially since layout often changes depending on the device used to read the article and there's no absolute way to ensure a pleasing visual structure– and (2) because it doesn't fit your definition of useful (which is personal; e.g. it fits my definition of useful – neither of us is "correct", because "useful" is a subjective concept) without providing any reason why this template is substantially different from the countless other navigational templates which are placed in the same manner (vertically, along the article, rather than horizontally at the bottom) is not imho a valid action. --Waldir ^talk 12:29, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

It is quite valid and I have no intention of converting it into anything, as there is no need for the great clumbersome thing anywhere. If you must have it somewehere, so and place it on a a page where the primary editors don't mind such distractions. Finally, there is no nedd to be keep templating my page with your talk back thing, I have you on my watch list.  Giacomo  13:36, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Well, we clearly disagree and I see no way to expose my points any clearer than I already have. I'll restore the article to its state before this discussion and request comments from other editors on the talk page. Cheers, Waldir ^talk 14:17, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

On a second thought, before doing a RfC, and since the template has been on the page for a long time without any complaints, I think your reasoning (even if I agreed with it) is not enough for removal (for the reasons I stated above). I'd suggest you to contact User:Stevertigo, who has been one of the primary editors of that template; he should probably have valuable input. --Waldir ^talk 14:30, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

• Well what a good job I finally spotted it and removed it from despoiling the page. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the subject and what clearly dreamt up by someone with far too much time on their hands. I have removed it. Please stop vandalising the text with it and place it somewhere more appropriate.  Giacomo  16:31, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

And in general, anything present in Extremes on Earth for which there's data available for the other planets. --Waldir ^talk 20:42, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Ok, body has been added. As for densest atmosphere, should that be divided by class of object, or just one value for the whole Solar System? (either just Venus, or Sun+Venus+Titan+Pluto) 76.66.203.138 (talk) 12:46, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Ok, perhaps it's time to take the page live? It's taking time to fill in the blanks, so moving it to article space with a {{listdev}} on it may be better.

Biased editing of Technological Utopianism by Loremaster.

Biased editing of Technological Utopianism by Loremaster.

Due to your past contribution to Technological utopianism, you may currently want to help editing the Technological utopianism article because currently only one editor is contributing to the article. The Singularitarianism Article could also benefit from your help.

I feel Loremaster is editing Singularitarianism and Technological utopianism in a biased manner in accordance with his Save The Earth propaganda. Loremasters's ideology seems to verge towards Neo-Luddism. Here are the damming facts Loremaster has stated in discussion:

Loremaster says he is:

"...critical of techno-utopianism in all its forms."

Loremaster wants people to:

"...stop indulging in techno-utopian fantasies... ...so that we can all focus on energies on saving the planet."

Loremaster sees his editing as a 'fight' and he states:

"Although I am convinced that the world is in fact heading toward an ecological catastrophe, I think it can be averted and my optimism makes me want to fight to do do just that."
