WikiProject Bibliographies/Science task force

Many thanks for your hard work on this task force. I have send an email to User:APH who started the Science Pearls Project long ago. He has not been active for many years, but I thought he ought to know about it. I'm really still on holiday/wikibreak! --Bduke (Discussion) 08:01, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome, Bduke! As a WikiProject, it had a short revival, but it was long enough to save all those lists from deletion. Such a small WikiProject could not remain active, though. Now it has a good home. RockMagnetist (talk) 15:24, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cryometer

So you mean that the page has a subscription-only access? You can list it as a copyvio of the print dictionary, if that's what you mean. Nyttend (talk) 15:21, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I wanted to do, but the template only allowed me to give a url. RockMagnetist (talk) 15:24, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have modified it to provide the information on the talk page. Does that look right? By the way - this editor has several such violations, and I only tagged a small fraction of them. RockMagnetist (talk) 15:34, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hai rockmagnetist,Sorry for my copyright violations.i have no intention to violate copyright law.My only intention is to provide knowledge.you have the right to delete any copyright violated material.But before deleting consider to rephrase content to avoid copyright violation.It is my personal request.I have no access to computer.Only through mobile I do write.I rewrote the cryometer article .Please say your opinion about article on my talk page.So in future I can write articles in my own words. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jnanadevm (talk • contribs) 07:24, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you moved Counter (physics) to User:Jnanadevm/Counter (physics), giving an edit summary that said "Copyright violation (copy of entry in Oxford dictionary of science)". However, copyright infringement is equally illegal whether or not the illegal copy has "User:" in its title. Copyright infringing pages must be deleted: it is not acceptable to merely move it into userspace. JamesBWatson (talk) 17:42, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry - I was trying to encourage the editor to revise the articles. There are several more such pages created by User:Jnanadevm, and I have been hoping that some administrator would delete the rest without my having to tag them all. RockMagnetist (talk) 21:15, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Request

I am requesting user RockMagnetist to assess my article cryometer about copyright status.So in future i can rewrite my articles to avoid copyright violation.I am also requesting the adminstrators to make a mobile version of wikipedia which must be has all features like desktop version.curren mobile version has no editing,history features.Please reply on my talk page or article talk page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jnanadevm (talk • contribs) 06:42, 27 February 2012 (UTC) Hai,RockMagnetist thanks for your reply.You asked sources for some of my articles.treble (sound) is comletely my work and other editors.cryometer is written from oxford dictionary of science,1999,4th edition as source.photoablation is sourced from website jpslaser.com and another website.gobi manchurian is almost my own work.I am not a native speaker of english.i am from india.so sorry for my bad english.But I only contribute to enlish wikipedia.its my ambition.see my contribution history.I have reverted so many vandalisms — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jnanadevm (talk • contribs) 16:18, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Hai,rockmagnetist thanks for your complement and your hardwork of research.Google books is not working in my mobile.I am using only basic java phone(sony cedar).It is horrible task to type or search in mobile.It took 60 minuts to write this para in my mobile.I am also agreeing with you about the title change of article cryometer.After completing your article cryogenic thermometry you can redirect cryometer to your article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jnanadevm (talk • contribs) 10:47, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. It sounds like quite a challenge for you - I'm impressed that you keep contributing to Wikipedia under such circumstances. RockMagnetist (talk) 15:22, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject Geology‎ page upgrade

Thanks. That is beautiful. --Bejnar (talk) 04:46, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're very welcome, Bejnar! RockMagnetist (talk) 04:48, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ediacaran stuff in Cambrian task force

Hi I see you are adding a lot of Ediacaran biota pages to the Cambrian task force, for example Kimberella. Parvancorina is listed at the project page but not on its talk page. They were already in the Palaeontology project so there looks to be an overlap. I wonder why you have them in scope? Some of these have already met the task force target, so perhaps nothing will be done! I am not holding you back, I hope you can improve the articles. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:23, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Graeme. I don't really think of it as adding them to the task force. I just tagged the ones that were already listed in tables on the main page for the task force. I'm not part of the task force myself but I have been improving the WikiProject Geology site and thought the task forces should have the option of tagging their pages. However, I just worked on the ones rated C and above (I'm hoping someone else will finish the job). There is indeed overlap with Paleontology, but no redundancy - the Paleontology banners tag articles for the same task force! As for tagging articles that have already met the task force target - they still need to be protected from vandalism, and the task force needs to see what they have accomplished.

Thanks! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:14, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalization

"{{Cite" is a template's title, it's a programm. The programmers use capitalization to diferentiate it from the subroutine. The subroutine "title=" is written without capitalization, for instance. It's programmers syntax, discipline keeps the script code tidy. They keep a better overview this way. --Chris.urs-o (talk) 09:48, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Are you referring to a particular edit I made? RockMagnetist (talk) 14:37, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yup, plate tectonics, Revision as of 22:32, 15 March 2012. It doesn't matter much on en.wikipedia because wikilinks get the first letter capitalized always by MediaWiki. --Chris.urs-o (talk) 14:51, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That was the dab solver's work, actually. All I asked it to do was disambiguate a couple of links, but it tends to do a lot of little things I didn't ask for. But as you say, it doesn't matter much on en.wikipedia. Does it matter on other wikipedias? RockMagnetist (talk) 15:08, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If the first letter remains unchanged, then it'd be different, so red link. --Chris.urs-o (talk) 20:15, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Six-bar linkages

Thank you for the advice. I think this is just part of the Wikipedia experience for better or worse. I will add the links that you recommend. Prof McCarthy (talk) 16:52, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to help! RockMagnetist (talk) 17:21, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

SFD

Hello RockMagnetist

Thank you for all the tips re wiki editing.

Regarding Pinnacle brochure copyright, I am not sure what copyright applies to a promotional pamphlet that also has been entered as an exhibit to a lawsuit. You mentioned that I removed my comments on SFD talk page, I basically thought I was being too talkative in justifying changes whose merits would appear to be self evident.

Did you ever have a look at the NXT web page and their explanation of how SFD supposedly works ?

Best regards --Alik 72 (talk) 20:04, 25 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Alik 72. I haven't really thought about the issues being discussed - I was mainly looking at the talk page. Rather than being afraid of being too talkative, you should worry about not appearing to respond to any of the criticisms. So I think it would be better to restore your comments (but in their proper place, not at the top of the page).
If I have some time, I'll try to look at the page and the links. RockMagnetist (talk) 20:13, 25 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ferromagnetic coins?

Thank you for a correction in Magnetism. But the coins contain nickel for example. The nickel is ferromagnetic, μ >> μvacuum. The attraction (magnet-coins) is strong. So the coins are ferromagnetic (or ferrimagnetic a better term)? Sorry for bad English. Fizped (talk) 16:00, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Fizped. It is generally good practice to answer a comment on the same page, so the discussion is easier to follow. If I leave you a message on your page, I will be watching your page for a while. If you're not sure someone is watching, you can use the {{talkback}} template to notify them; I will put an example on your page.
I don't know about the coins in your picture, but recent U.S. coins are an alloy of 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper. Add any more than about 15% zinc to copper, and the alloy is no longer ferromagnetic at room temperature. RockMagnetist (talk) 17:58, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, RockMagnetism. I looked at the composition.
Fizped (talk) 19:59, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Quite different from the American coins! I suppose the 20 lipa coin might be ferromagnetic, but I doubt the other two are. I recommend you put this information on the description page for your image. RockMagnetist (talk) 01:10, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Macromolecular structure validation article

We appreciate your feeling it was ready to go live. However, one problem we'd meant to resolve before that was how to rename it to Structure validation (macromolecular), with a hatnote or eventually a disambiguation page. Most people who want this article will search using just "structure validation", and with the current title they don't get there at all directly. But many of the hits are to XML schema validation, which may eventually want its own page, and some are to mechanical engineering. Do you have advice on the most robust and feasible way to accomplish this?Dcrjsr (talk) 14:47, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I had no opinion on whether it should go live, but since My very best wishes chose to move it, I thought a link to the article would help others. RockMagnetist (talk) 14:59, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

PR comments available

FYI: I posted some comments at Wikipedia:Peer review/Algoman orogeny/archive1. --Noleander (talk) 20:42, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Noleander. I added a comment linking to them on talk:Algoman orogeny. RockMagnetist (talk) 21:14, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm glad I could be of help. It is customary for the nominator (of any review: GAN, PR, FAC) to be prepared to act on the comments of the reviewer. Otherwise, reviewers would stop doing reviews (because there would be no purpose to do a review if the comments were going to be simply noted & archived). Is it your intention to implement some of the PR suggestions? I don't mean to come across as hard-nosed; I'm just curious if you are familiar with the normal practices at PR. It would make me feel warm & fuzzy to see some of my suggestions actually implemented :-) --Noleander (talk) 20:03, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the slow response to your review. I agree that someone should work on your suggestions, but I wasn't expecting that it would be me. It happens that when I was reorganizing Wikipedia:WikiProject Geology/Peer reviews, I saw this request for feedback and thought that it would be a good test case for our new peer review process. However, I seem to have overestimated the level of interest that Bejnar had in this article. The article is well outside of my area of expertise, but I'll try to find some time to work on it. RockMagnetist (talk) 20:20, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I am humbled (and thankful) for the hours and hours of work to take "my" article to GA.Bettymnz4 (talk) 13:35, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You're very welcome! You did a nice job on the article, and it just needed a push to get it past the line. RockMagnetist (talk) 14:39, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

references

Good day

I have entered information on the wikipedia topic "Jeanne d'Arc Basin". It was considered a stub and requested more ino.

I am a first time contibutor to Wikipedia though I have published in peer-reviewed journals. I intend to add figures and core photos later.

I used the "sfn" code to produced a number list of references as I was trying to follow the format of the wikipedia page on "plate tectonics". However, I don't know how to link those notes to the actual references. Could you please provide any guidence on this topic?

Also, when I first go to the Jeanne d'Arc page it first shows the old stub page at the address http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeanne_d'Arc_Basin but if I click on the article tab, it switches to my contribution at the address http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeanne_d%27Arc_Basin The only difference between the adresses is the apostrophe ' is %27 Is this standard or is there something that I have done, have not done, should have done?

All guidence greatly appreciated.

Sincerely, GeoIainK GeoIainK (talk) 23:45, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, GeolainK, and welcome to Wikipedia! First, the page names. When I click on those links, I get two pages with different addresses but the same content and the same history (click on the View history tab). I think both addresses are pointers to the current version, which is [1] right now. RockMagnetist (talk) 00:29, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
As for the citation anchors, the bad news is that to make them work you have to use citation templates like {{citation}} with |ref=harv (see the documentation for {{sfn}}). I have modified the Howie 1970 reference to show you an example. Note that the normal layout for references includes a bullet. RockMagnetist (talk) 00:36, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I will put any further comments on the article on its talk page. RockMagnetist (talk) 00:42, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

History of the'Earth

I hope it will become a good article. I see you are doing a nice job, I tried but just didn't have enough time to scour through the entire article to tweak it and look for/fix all the refs. Good luck. Cadiomals (talk) 19:09, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Glad you like the changes. It is more difficult than I expected to find suitable sources for some of the material! Still, it seems that citations are the only thing holding this article back from GA. RockMagnetist (talk) 20:27, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
