[edit] Reason for my help request...

I'm sort of left in a quandary. In 1972 while I was a computer programming student we were assigned various exercises to help us learn programming and asked to find unique (our own) ways of solving a problem. I would hardly call this “original” research. But as a result some of us came up with some pretty unique solutions – some better and some worse than others. I came up with a way to sort numbers that was very, very fast and so no big deal I got a better grade but after that it just was put on the shelf. In all honesty I figured that I had probably just read about it in a book and while I was trying really hard to find a better way to do a sort that it sort of just took me in that direction.

Anyway to make a long story short I was going through old papers and programs to see if there was anything that other people might be able to use or enjoy that I could write up as a Wikipedia article and I recalled the Rapid sort. Actually I just named it so it would have a name that it could be called until I found where I had read about it or whatever.

So anyway I remembered different times like in 1991 when I built a hardware circuit based on the idea and it worked great and in 1996 when I published it on the Internet on my home page and so no big deal. I did get one email which claimed it was just a bucket sort but since it did not actually put the item to be sorted in the bucket it did not really seem to be that. Then recently when I was searching for a reference Mr. Black at the NIST said he thought it looked a lot like a counting sort but that it did have differences and so he was not sure. So I figured what the heck other people would probably find it interesting to say the least and when I discovered the article on sorting algorithms I thought gee this is the right place.

So after I wrote the article I started getting questions about why it had never been seen before and who the author was, etc. so I explained that although Mr. Black was helping me pin down whether it might be a counting sort or not. Then all of the sudden someone posted a deletion page and claimed that it was original research which I can not yet refute unless I agree that it is a counting sort but then of all the ironies, suspicious ironies I might add, the guy that wants to delete it because it is in his opinion original research also wants to delete it because it he thinks it’s a counting sort.

So quite naturally I am a bit concerned that his real motive may be jealousy rather based on really honest to goodness legitimate reason. I think original research is a bit far fetched and I also think that the sort routine falls into the category of an address sort because it is the only sort routine I know of that because it sends the data to be sorted to the address bus instead of the data bus and can be implemented in hardware.

So bottom line is that I don’t care if it is deleted but I sure think that deleting it will only deprive others of its existence and for that reason needs to be retained. So that’s the problem I need help with and thanks in advance for any suggestions you might have.. Thanks ...IMHO (Talk) 23:20, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Where? I can't find it? ...IMHO (Talk) 23:30, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah that helps. But It does leave me with another question. It seems like then that there is a double standard since images can be uploaded and published that are original and in fact have to be claimed as such. I mean it just seems a bit inconsistent if you know what I mean. ...IMHO (Talk) 23:39, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Chris

I've got an article to post at Wikipedia. I tried to post it but found out that its 152k in size. It's a series of blogs that were posted at the 1st Virtual Congress on World Citizenship and Democratic Global Governance now at http://www.worldcit.citymax.com/1st_Congress_Forum.html?page=3, originally at page 2 during the month of July 2006. The wiki directives to manage posting these blogs are too complicated for me to understand and, as one article, its so long I don't know what to do about it.

In my opinion the article (blogs) is an unprecedented insight into the Subud Organization and a revealing look into the nature of consciousness per se because of the widely differing styles of the two main writers, myself and Peter Womack. What can you do to help me get it ready for posting?

Best regards - Hadrian Judge

PS. Please contact me at hadrianjudge@smartchat.net.au as I'm afraid the architecture here is extremely daunting for me.

[edit] 66th Military Intelligence Group - Darmstadt, Germany

Hi, I see that you removed the category from this article. Please can you tell me which category it should go in? I do not like to see articles without categories as it prevents cross-referencing. If you remove the only category an article has, please add the nocat tag so that someone else may pick it up. Thanks Mallanox 13:21, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Added Category:Groups_of_the_United_States_Army to the article. Bjelleklang - talk 19:17, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Bjelleklang: I respect your accomplishments as you have stated them but you are making a mistake in editing the 66th Military Intelligence article. My friend, who is still my roommate did that article from the beginning and he knows the data better that you could ever hope to know. He was the Officer in Charge of those elements he stated. He is "first Hand" professional source, no one could know this better. He can prove it if he feels it is necessary.

Thank You

Hi.
In r+egards of the article, anyone who has ever heard about them probably knows more of them than me! The reason for why I removed the original category was because it was more or less claiming that the unit was an army group, which it was clearly not! I then later added a new category, and also removed unsourced material:
Many of the personnel assigned to 66th MI Group, Munich, were thought to have more than one stated duty position. This would make it possible to perform one activity "in the open" and another activity covertly.
If you or your friend can find a source for this, I will have no problems with it, but I'd object to including it without any sources whatsoever. Bjelleklang - talk 16:20, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] IRC

Can you make your java chat avilable for all wikipedia channels ? There is so many other channels but some users who don't know to use any chat client can't find other way to join that channels. Thanks --SasaStefanovic 23:04, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Replied here and duplicated on user talkpage.
I'm open to adding new channels to the whitelist, but as the client is primarily targeted against new users unfamiliar with IRC, I feel that adding too many channels to the list could confuse them. But if you have specific suggestions, please let me know, and I'll think it over :) Bjelleklang - talk 00:10, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Well, i'm from sr: wiki so i will ask you to add to "whitelist" channel #wikipedia-sr. Thanks --SasaStefanovic 00:24, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Bjelleklang, there seems to be something wrong with pjirc - it won't auto-join the channel selected on index.php, so the user has to type in /join #wikipedia-bootcamp manually, for example. Also, index-2.php has a <style> element right at the top of the page, when it should be in the <head> section. Please take a look when you have time.

[edit] Wikipedia proposed deletion.

Hello Chris and thanks for your response to my help tag. I'm very new to this as you can probably tell. I submitted an article to wikipedia because when I searched for the topic there was no article, so I submitted mine. Now it has a proposed deletion thing on it and I don't really understand what to do next...can you advise me please? Many thanks, Graeme Sorry, I have directed this to the wrong person.Glassfeather 22:06, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] pjirc problem maybe

Hey Bjelleklang!

When using the pjirc it doesn't seem to log me into the #wikipedia-bootcamp channel, it just connects me to freenode (and I have to manually join). This is not good for people new to IRC. I tried with a registered nickname ("Commander_Keane") and a unregistered nickname ("CK_test_481") but the result was the same, I wasn't automatically placed in the bootcamp channel. Can this be fixed?

I did notice "join : insufficient parameters", I'm not sure if that indicates the problem. I am using Firefox 2.0/XP SP2. Cheers, --Commander Keane 01:02, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Problem fixed, just forgot to initialize a variable. Probably the move from the old toolserver to the new that triggered it. Bjelleklang - talk 13:30, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help

Hello Wikipedia guru, I have just created a page and it was deleted. The page was under Benjamin Robert Colman Wells. I think it may have been because of some false information. However, can I take the links off from the page and imply that what is wrtten is true. I am refering to the relationship with Adriana Lima. The picture provided was temporary as I didn't have one available at the time. I guess what I'm saying is that I want to make a serious page about myself. Other than this everything else is true and accurate. Could you please explain why my page was deleted and can I edit it; or could I make a new page with everything unlinked to internal or external sources. I await your response. thanks, Ben

Are you notable? It is a somewhat direct question, but Wikipedia requires that any person to be included must be notable in some way, especially when concerning a living person. I'd advise you not to write a bio about yourself, as this is very likely not to be objective enough, and also, if a person is notable, it is very likely that someone else will write the bio. Please see WP:BIO for more information. Bjelleklang - talk 11:22, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] wikipedia question from novice

How can I change the spelling of my username? I entered it as "Johndavenport". I would like it to be "johndavenport".

Incidentally: You have used so much jargon that I have had a hard time even getting to this place to enter a question. Too many slang terms known only to Wikipedia cognisgenti are just plain confusing to the uninitiated -- e.g., me.

Johndavenport 23:35, 24 November 2006 (UTC) I see I made a bad decision to use my real name! Is there any way to delete my original entry and let me start over with a fictious nickname account???!

There is a procedure for renaming accounts, but in your case, with only a few edits I'd just re-register with another account :) Bjelleklang - talk 13:00, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please review Green Line (Israel)

The article Green Line (Israel ) is not a NPOV article. I do not know if I should bother fixing it. Please read the article and the discussion I put on the article talk page. The article would be valuable if it was more on the line of Green Line (Cyprus). As it stands now the article is so POV that it does not belong in wikipedia.

Please give me some ideas on how to go about fixing it you agree with me.

Wmb1957 17:23, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Be bold and correct the things you feel is POV, if someone complains, raise the issue with them on the talkpage :) Bjelleklang - talk 17:26, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Green Line (Israel)

I would just change it to something similar to this:

The term Green Line refers to the 1949 Armistice Line. While specifically the green line marks the ceasefire line of 1949 between Israel and the West Bank, the green line is often considered the de facto borders of pre-1967 Israel.

Please let me know if this is suitable.

Wmb1957 19:18, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I wouldn't have any problems with this, but I'm not familiar with the article or the subject. I'd just go ahead and make the changes, and if anyone removes it, just ask them why in a friendly way :) Bjelleklang - talk 19:50, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks; and maybe we need a SQL queriable mirror for Wiki

Thanks for responding to my newbie question on the new contributor's questions page. Maybe we want to promote the idea of a mirror that is queriable, so we can grep for strings in edits in date ranges, or for strings from certain IP addresses; e.g. to watch for references to a commercial product coming from an address that appears to be promoting the product, or keywords from a date range when someone seemed to be trying to prosletyze an idea. Peter H. St.John, M.S. 04:28, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

It's not a bad idea, but we already have something similar ;) Have a look at meta:Toolserver. Bjelleklang - talk 04:40, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks again; I was looking at bots...maybe, a bot that takes a list of keywords provided by complaints (e.g., in todays complaints would be the word "satanism"), and compiles a list of edits with that keyword, on recent dates, or many edits by few IP addresses...) but I'll check out your link. --Pete P.S.

Yes. Please help. I am new to Wikipedia and saw that the list of Technical Emmy Winners for 2002 was not complete. Since I was on the Emmy Technical Committee that year I felt it necessary to correct the mistake. TM Systems was a winner for the development of its "Digital Solution to Language Translation, Dubbing & Subtitling", the first time such technology was recognized in this area of post production for television and motion pictures.

I continuously attempt to show that this company should be included and am always told that this company was not a winner. Well, Bjelleklang, that is simply false. Call the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. Ask for Exec. VP, John Leverence, and he will confirm. Go to the Variety website and google TM Systems in the winners list. If you have access to the Academy website and are a member, you can log in and get the winners list. You can also visit the TM Systems website at www.tm-systems.com or simply google 2002 Technical Emmy Winners and you will find all you need to know to prove this.

This has been a frustrating experience to say the least. I thank you for your interest and support.
