Word origins on disambiguation pages

Hello Epastore, Your addition to Matrix regarding the word derivations was very informative, however, since Matrix is a disambiguation page, it does not belong there, and I wanted to let you know why I removed it. Disambiguation pages are used to direct people to different articles when there are multiple uses for a word. Except in rare cases, only the links to the different articles are included. The Manual of style for disambiguation pages dicates the style of disambiguation pages. While your word origin information was certainly informative, it is along the lines of something that would belong in a dictionary, and remember, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. However, consider adding your information to Wiktionary, where I am sure it would be most welcome. -- Natalya 19:30, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox Pseudoscience

Thank you for your efforts with Template:Infobox Pseudoscience. However, some of the formatting you tidied up was deliberate (lists didn't display correctly otherwise). I've restored the parts that were needed, while keeping the other parts that you'd changed that didn't interfere with rendering of the infobox. Further information is at Template talk:Infobox Pseudoscience.

Happy editing! --Christopher Thomas 20:30, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

We've already gone through this as per Talk:OS X. When more information is available, editors will decide on what to do with the page. Right now, more editors want it to be a simple redirect, so we should feel lucky it's even a disambig page. Roguegeek (talk) 02:34, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You have already gone through this... but your edits are incorrect. In what way does a page from the manufacturer not constitute an official source?

Milk - emulsion or colloid

I'd like to discuss your edit changing the classification of milk to a sol colloid from an emulsion. Milk fat is a solid or a liquid, depending on the temperature. At the body temperature of a cow, milk fat is probably a liquid, or at least somewhere inbetween a liquid and a solid. Try leaving butter in your cupboard during a summer heat-wave! It is more solid at room and refridgerated temperatures. Not sure if this qualifies it as a sol colloid or not, but I don't believe the definition of an emulsion is contingent on it's physical state (e.g. liquid). Perhaps it fits both classifications, there is no reason that it couldn't, but it would depend on the temperature! Maybe the article should be written to reflect this, but some citations are necessary to back this up. I'm sure few people would disagree on the status of milk as an emulsion, and it is also a colloid. Here are some references in support of the definition of milk as an emulsion:

http://animsci.agrenv.mcgill.ca/courses/450/topics/2.html

http://classes.ansci.uiuc.edu/ansc438/Milkcompsynth/milkcomp_physicochem.html

I am changing it back to being called an emulsion, but adding that it can also be referred to as a colloid. If you want to add the sol definition, perhaps we need a little more than the sol colloid stub with no references to back this up.

Cheers, Halogenated (talk) 02:08, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That works for me... I just wanted to resolve the difference in articles. I've updated Colloid to match. — Epastore (talk) 02:27, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Boy, it would have been nice if some of this discussion had been placed in the colloid page. I just editted it back to sol, and now find this discussion here. Sigh. The discussion of butter is interesting, because of course the colloid page is quite comfortable calling it a gel, despite it being an emulsion at the same temperatures at which milk is an emulsion.

Perhaps the wise thing is to remove dairy products from the illustrative table; surely the table is meant to inform and not to include confusing edge cases. - 63.107.91.99 (talk) 19:36, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of American Society of Consultant Pharmacists Foundation

A tag has been placed on American Society of Consultant Pharmacists Foundation requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Fair use rationale for Image:R. Tim Webster.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:R. Tim Webster.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Proposed deletion of Adriel Hampton

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Adriel Hampton, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

does not meet WP:POLITICIAN, announcing candidacy on Twitter is at best one event only

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Surgeon General of the United States

42 U.S.C. § 207 of the U.S. Code specifically says, [t]he Surgeon General, during the period of [her] appointment as such, shall be of the same grade (O-9) as the Surgeon General of the Army. That means Regina Benjamin has to be commissioned into the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps which is why every Surgeon General since C.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
