[edit] Entropy edits

Hello - can you give a list of your changes and some discussion on the Entropy talk page? I'm quite sure that they will be reverted unless there is some discussion, since the changes are so many and it's a page that is closely watched by a number of people. Thanks - PAR 04:53, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Raelian embassy.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Raelian embassy.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may 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. Nv8200p talk 03:31, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gravitational redshift

I added some contents at the top to this subject to give a better overview. Could you look at it? Thanks --Homy 17:43, 7 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Rael

KMarinas, I know I should do it instead of asking you, but I'm somewhat busy with other things right now. I would appreciate it if you could put something in the criticism sections. The articles on Rael definitely need a series template (see the one on Scientology ) as well as a more balanced PoV. As it stands, the article does not convey the fact that this is still a sect (and by sect I define any religious/semi-religious organisation that asks you to give them x% of your income...). I feel it is unfair that the faults of other sects such as scientology (although I know the two are not comparable, to my knowledge Raelians are allowed to believe in medicine...) are brought to light, and not Raelism. I suspect you are a Raelian yourself, so if you feel you cannot do this, let me know and I will try to see what I can do. The links to critical websites will no doubt help you. If you go to the website of the Ministère de l'Intérieur, you can probably find reasons for scientology being classed as a sect in France. For the moment, I think neutrality warnings on the pages might be necessary as a temporary measure until we get both sides of the argument into the article. This is by no means a criticism of your writing: you have done some very hard work on this page, and with a bit more effort it could really be up to par. I will also post this message to your user talk page. Yandman 07:23, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photos

dear Kevin, if you need some official pictures, please let me know. Some of those ones you have 'grabbed' are outdated or were never intended for public promotion. Also, have you considered attending a Raelian seminar? I'm sure it would give you a clearer understanding of the philsophy. You may even change your mind about some things you wrote in the wiki. Thanks MrPeabody 12:44, 9 September 2006 (UTC) (Raelian Bishop)

I have in this past spring considered going to the Raelian Seminar in Las Vegas, however I feel that I should be able to finance my own trip as well as making my own independent choice to go. I've had driving experience for 1 year so far and a paying job for 9 months, so it's as if I was 17 instead of 20, it will probably take at least 3 years before I can make it on my own. I want to make sure I have some base before I take a trip to the capital of gambling.Kmarinas86 14:31, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Cool, no pressure of course. I think next year may not be in Vegas - time will tell. :)

[edit] Please do not use talk:cult and talk:sect for off-topic discussions

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Betty Dobson hugging one of her friends.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Betty Dobson hugging one of her friends.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles 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 fair use images 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.

[edit] Image tagging for Image:Infinitysign.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Infinitysign.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

[edit] Entropy

Would you please explain on Talk:Entropy the purpose behind the many edits you have done today and what your last edit comment "(this is where it was dozens of posts ago)" means. Are you suggesting that all recent edits have been worthless? I am far too busy organising a Conference that is on this weekend, but I will get back to look at this article. I will say one thing however. That is that the first para has indeed gone back to being totally unintelligable to the average reader as opposed to being only partly unintelligable. This needs to be addressed. The first para should give the ordinary reader a real idea of what the article is about and perhaps they will then delve deeper. --Bduke 06:35, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

"Are you suggesting that all recent edits have been worthless?" nah. of course not!Kmarinas86 14:22, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User page

Hi KMarinas. Would you mind putting the {{userpage}} template at the top of your user page? Your page will appear in a google search, and we're worried that the less computer-literate of our readers may mistake it for an encyclopaedia article. Normally, wikipedia guidelines state that userpages are not for publishing personal essays, however you are an editor in good standing, and the material is both interesting and unoffensive, so there is no reason to delete it if the template is up. Thanks a lot. yandman 08:09, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

template added ;)Kmarinas86 14:25, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks. yandman 14:34, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Entropy page restructuring

Your recent edits to entropy were certainly bold, and while I've no doubt that they were well intentioned, the page has been the subject of much editing and discussion by a number of editors. In cases such as this it is best to fully discuss and document changes: the restructuring is now under consideration at Talk:Entropy#Recent massive edits and it will be great if you can contribute to the discussion and to making this an excellent article. ... dave souza, talk 10:23, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Raelian Advocacy - There is NO GOD.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Raelian Advocacy - There is NO GOD.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 05:07, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Raelian embassy watermark.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Raelian embassy watermark.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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.

[edit] Deletions from Rael-related articles

You seem to have been on a program of deleting material from Rael-related articles. You are giving no explanation for you actions, much less discussing them. I've reverted some of your editing, please don't delete material again without explanation. -Will Beback · † · 05:46, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Also, you're peppering articles with "<noinclude>" tags for no apparent reason. -Will Beback · † · 05:48, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Please explain the purpose of User:Kmarinas86/All-Rael. Are you planning to make it an article? The Rael-related articles do not belong to you, they belong to Wikipedia. If you refuse to give a reason for deleting large amounts of material from many articles then we'll have to find a way of dealing with that. -Will Beback · † · 05:56, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
I was fixing the articles. I was leaning them up. The information is still there, but I deleted the redudancies. The information is still all there. Should I say that again?Kmarinas86 05:57, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
No the information was removed. For example, here's what I reverted on one article: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ra%C3%ABlian_Church&diff=105510735&oldid=105510568. There had been numerous external links, when you were done there was one one. -Will Beback · † · 06:01, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
THE EXTERNAL LINKS ARE ON THE CATEGORY PAGE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Ra%C3%ABlian). THE INFORMATION - I REPEAT - WAS NOT REMOVED.Kmarinas86 06:02, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
External links belong on article pages. That's how it's done around here. -Will Beback · † · 06:04, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Ok. I'll try to make sure that there on the pages they use to be. But your reversions went further back than what was necessary.Kmarinas86 06:05, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
If you explain why you are deleting material then other users will be more likely to understand. We're not mindreaders. Now may I ask again what the purpose is of User:Kmarinas86/All-Rael? You're welcome to host material in your user space, but it should have all the categories disabled. If you want a compilation of all material it'd be simpler to cut and paste it together rather than transcluding. -Will Beback · † · 06:14, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
I love it when people understand me. ;) The purpose for it is for those who want to see the Raelian articles on one page to see how much has contributed to the whole subject. Thank you!Kmarinas86 06:18, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
That may be your wish, but please don't disrupt Wikipedia as part of the effort. As soon as you can, please de-activate the categories. They don't belong in user-space pages, only on articles. -Will Beback · † · 06:30, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks again for commentary which makes a lot of sense!Kmarinas86 06:31, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for fixing the categories. -Will Beback · † · 06:41, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Also, please use edit summaries to describe your work. Undescribed deletions are likely to be reverted. -Will Beback · † · 06:17, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template:TOChidden

Hi, thanks for your helping in trying to improve this template. Could you cease experimenting on it and rather do your experimenting on User:Netscott/TOC? As it was it was viable... the template is live now and it's best not to experiment too much on live templates. Thanks! (→Netscott) 23:01, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

I see you're still editing, is there a particular reason you're not abiding by my request? (→Netscott) 23:05, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Oh sorry. I edited it before seeing your message. my bad =PKmarinas86 23:07, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Cool, I see you've created your own. One thing to know that'll be good for future reference is that when you create a template (even experimental) it's best in the intial edit summary to indicate from where you're branching off on. Look at the very first edit on Template:TOChidden (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) as well as User:Netscott/TOC (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs). This keeps us in line with the GNU Free Documentation License. Cheers. :-) (→Netscott) 23:22, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
What's that about the closing <p>? (→Netscott) 01:18, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Have a look at the Muhammad article (this version - I've removed TOChidden there for now... it was not right at all). Something's not right. I encountered this before. (→Netscott) 01:39, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Hello Kmarinas86, I'm writing to you to let you know that I've added float options for TOChidden. {{TOChidden|floatright=1}} floats right and {{TOChidden|floatleft=1}} floats left. Cheers. :-) (→Netscott) 07:06, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
