[edit] Source for Nanoscope image

You uploaded an image [1] for use in the nanoscope article. The source of the article is www.ils.ued.ac.jp/~dima/nanoscope.pdf, which is now a dead link. Is the original article your own work? If not, do you have permission from the author to publish it here? eaolson 15:16, 28 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] License tagging for Image:Surugabay1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Surugabay1.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. 12:07, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thin Disk Laser article

Hey! Just wanted to say nice job on the disk laser article! --Patrick Berry 15:38, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Applied physics B

A tag has been placed on Applied physics B, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because it is an article about a certain website, blog, forum, or other web content that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles, as well as notability guidelines for websites. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on Talk:Applied physics B. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Vox Rationis 03:02, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

I have dealt with the issue by rewriting the article (& combining A & B). You are perfectly correct that scientific journal articles should never be deleted, and there are a number of editors who will support this view very strongly--and so far, very successfully. But this requires the articles to be of a uniformly consistent standard in the first place to avoid attracting attention from those who do not understand. I've made a temporary fix, and I or others will upgrade further.

I hope you will add many such articles, but please examine the existing articles first to see what content is necessary. I'd be glad to help you as needed, and so would many of the editors of the physics articles. DGG 05:23, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Appreciate your help, DGG. Redirection is better. Thanks. 130.153.147.57 07:19, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Suruga Bay

Obviously, that photo was removed because of the nude women in the picture. Suruga Bay is not a Nude beach, and so the picture was not representative of the article. If you have other photos of just the bay, then that would be great. Otherwise, the ukiyo-e print works just fine. MightyAtom 04:31, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Rock Climbing" image

Hi,

You uploaded an image to the "rock climbing" article that doesn't really seem pertinent (it's a police officer in Japan scrambling down some rocks). Can you explain why this shouldn't be deleted?

Thanks,

 rob 
 Rob Cranfill 05:38, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Rob. This figure is important illustration, why the grade of a rock should coddespond to the grade and equipment of the climber. It is typical example of grade 3 rock. The police uniform shows the lack of equipment of the climber. He faces the cliff, ahowing the lack of skill. I consider to post it also at the Yosemite Decimal System article, but I have not yet similar pics of class 2, class 4 and class 5 rocks. What do other climbers think about? dima 12:33, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Smile

Srleffler has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing!
Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

I've just been working on cleaning up and copyediting some of the articles you've worked on or created. You have added lots of good content to the encyclopedia! --Srleffler 06:49, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New category for optics journals

Since we now have quite a few articles on optics journals, I have created a new category for them: Category:Optics journals. Please put articles about optics journals in that category instead of in any of Category:Physics journals or Category:Engineering journals. The new category is a subcategory of both of those, as well as a subcategory of optics.--Srleffler 04:14, 20 March 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Redirect

I have put a speedy delete tag on your redirect page to your user page as there is no need for there to be a page that does this. --Samtheboy (t/c) 12:58, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, Samtheboy. I had pressed the wrong key. dima 05:30, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright violation?

Was the text in these articles OCRed, or typed in verbatim?

"All the scientific journals should have mirror at Wiki." - Is this the fair-use rationale for posting scientific journal articles into WP?

I'm not asserting copyvio, but I want this discussed. --Lexein 07:55, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, Lexein!
You indicated the confusung sentence.
I just checked meanings of word "mirror", and replaced it to "short article".
dima 05:28, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Lexein, now I understand better your question. I do not use the OCR machine intentionally. Does OCR occurs each time when a scanner makes a copact PDF file from printed pages? Anyway, I almost never type in verbatim. If you see more errors, let us correct them. dima 00:21, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Yale

You added

In the archieves of the University, there are also important historical documents; in particular, those related to Andrei Sakharov and other human-right defensors (dissidents) in the CCCP. [1]

. But looking at the reference you provided, it seems that the Yale press is publishing the papers; it's not clear to me that they actually hold them. Are you certain? Are they held at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library? Sterling Memorial Library? - Nunh-huh 12:10, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Nunh-huh, you catch me! I was sure, the library shows the digital copy of their documents. Now I see, it may be just digital (may be extended) version of the book; then, the reference should be: [2]. While we do not know, I suppress the paragraph at Yale University. This book is very important; we should mention it in the Yale University Press. Stalinists pretend that there was no repressions of dissidents during the Brezhnev stagnation; stalinists are especially aggressive in the Russian version of Wikipedia. May be, you know Russian-speaking vikipedists, who still appreciate some democracy that you still have, they could help. Anyway, thanks; after your message I can improve articles that cite this book.dima 14:00, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Yes, looking at the finding aid in the Yale library, I suspect that the papers are elsewhere. (I suspected so, as I know more or less what they hold.) Perhaps the information would best be placed in Andrei Sakharov? - Nunh-huh 02:30, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
The originals are at Harvard University. I cite the book at Andrei Sakharov, have a look, please. Should we delete the suppressed paragraph at Yale University, or shoould we unsuppress and correct it, mentioning the Yale University Press and Harvard University there? dima 05:27, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
  1. ^ The KGB File of Andrei Sakharov. (edited by Joshua Rubenstein and Alexander Gribanov), http://www.yale.edu/annals/sakharov/sakharov_list.htm (English and Russian versions are available)
  2. ^ The KGB File of Andrei Sakharov. (edited by Joshua Rubenstein and Alexander Gribanov), New Haven : Yale University Press, c2005; ISBN 0300106815, Call number JC599.S58 K43 2005, http://catalog.library.georgetown.edu/search/o?SEARCH=57557418
    Web-version: http://www.yale.edu/annals/sakharov/sakharov_list.htm (English and Russian versions are available)
I would just remove the paragraph from Yale, and leave it in Sakharov. You could add some discussion of what is contained in the archives, and of their importance, in that article. - Nunh-huh 10:39, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
I did as you suggested. How do you like it? dima 17:41, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Nicely done. I made a few changes in spelling, and also took out references to Wikipedia (self-reference is considered bad form). - Nunh-huh 03:26, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, Nunh-huh! Should we do the same for other versions of Wiki (Russian, Spanish, etc.)?dima 06:08, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
You should go ahead if you have the language skills; I can't cope with either Russian or Spanish :) - Nunh-huh 12:25, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
OK, now you can see and cricicize.dima 10:05, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Brezhnev stagnation

Hi, it seems that you have left an unfinished sentence: [2]. Can you finish it, with reference? `'юзырь:mikka 16:43, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, mikka! I could not finish as I wanted, but I did my best.dima 10:05, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vladimir Bukovsky

Please do not undo edits as you did with Vladimir Bukovsky. Your version read like a computer translation from Russian language and made no sense in English. Please also do not remove statements which are neutral point of view, just because you do not happen to agree with them. I did NOT remove your links, including the link to the Bukovsky TV interview on Youtube, but merely moved them to the "References" section where they belong.

Hello, User:Shotlandiya. I see, you are new. Please, put tildes after your message, It becomes your signatyre. Please watch the movies recommended. (I hope, you speak Russian?)

Based on the the movies, I begin to resolve the discrepancy you mentioned. It refers to few sections, so, I need to save few times before ready. Then let us discuss. dima 09:36, 22 June 2007 (UTC) P.S. I correct misprint above; hope it is ok. In the article Vladimir Bukovsky I finished the urgent updates. Sorry for misunderstanding about ref. Let us continue the discussion at Talk:Vladimir Bukovsky; but if anything urgent, feel free to mention it here.dima 11:44, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:ControlFire.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:ControlFire.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. User:Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr) 19:40, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, Gay Cdn, for informing me. I see, many pics are removed from the article fire. (With pics, fire could be one of most spectacular articles at Wiki.) Some users dislike pics. Some users dislike the idea of big controlled bonfire. We need either to find some concensus (to avoid the edition war), or to prove that the removing is vandalism. If you can fight the "deleters", go ahead.dima 21:26, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Larisa Arap

A tag has been placed on Larisa Arap, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, 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 article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --62.105.155.114 05:44, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Dear 62.105.155.114: Frankly, I do not understand, what are you talking anout. Why deletion? The discussion page is empty; neither support, nor crytics. If you want to cricicise, but cannot find a weak point at the article mentioned, use the link at the bottom of the article, at that "wiki" the same Larisa is described from non-neutral point of view. dima 11:00, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Не имеет смысла беседовать с анонимом ;) Судя по IP он из России и решил прикончить статью в английской Википедии. RedAndr 15:26, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
RedAndr: I translate your comments for en.wiki users: There is no reason to talk with anonymous. His IP indicates that he is from Russia and wants to kill the article at en.wiki.
RedAndr: Thank you for the comment. According to publications, at least two doctors suspected in the psychiatric abuse, are women. They could dislike the Latin transliteration of their names. Perhaps, they read also our discussion here. Let us try to communicate them:

Dear Doctors. If you like other transliterations of your names, please say it. dima 01:39, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

P.S. Even if Larisa Arap is mentally ill, can Dmitri Tereshin (Дмитрий Терешин) get permission to withdraw Larisa from Russian Federation, in order to continie her treatment (if necessary) in another country? If the Russian authotrities indeed believe, that Larisa is mentally ill, they should be extremelly interested to deliver Larisa into the airport and say:"Here is your Larisa, take her out of country and treate her by yourself". If success, we add the last section, and nobody will have any reason to remove or vandalize the article. dima 01:39, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding further edits to Larisa Arap

Dear Domitori, I fully understand that you feel passionate about keeping this article, and I am doing my best to edit it to allow for readability, and to keep it from being deleted due to its current writing style. However, I would like to respectfully suggest that you refrain from editing the article further, as your English is not at the level that would help the article. Please do not take this the wrong way, as it is in no way an insult, but when an article like this is up for deletion review, it is best to keep it from being more confusing, especially as this article seems to have been translated by an artificial program, and thus, contained severe errors (which I've mostly fixed). I would suggest that you place your additional entries into the talk page, and either myself, or someone else can write them into the article using the manual of style guidelines. Again, please don't take my suggestion wrong, I know you're trying to help, and it is appreciated, but for example, your recent edit added the following:

"Dr. Reshet asked Larisa about her role in the article "Durdom". After to get the confirmation,"

And now I will need to go figure out what that means, and re-write it. I believe it is trying to say "In an attempt to confirm Larisa wrote it" but I'm not 100% sure, which is why we need a Russian/English translator on the project.

I'd appreciate it if you'd drop all the additions you have into the page's discussion page, and I'll promise that the items I can understand I will put into the article in English. Once the article's deletion review is over, and a translator can be found, it should not be such an issue. Would you be alright with this? Sincerely, Ariel♥Gold 23:46, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

ArielGold, you did well! The errors are not those of any authomatic translation, they are mine. Thank you for the correction. I like your idea about suggestions at the "talk" page. I am not sure it Larisa had wrote her last statements, she could just say them. We still have no biographical data. If someone brings them, it will be good. Thank you. dima 01:39, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
Good to hear back from you Dima! I promise I will check the talk page at least a couple times a day, and anything you add I'll do my best to incorporate, or as you can see, ask you to help with the translation (I have one item on the talk page needing your help)! And for not having it be a program, well wow, you did very well then! And, if you see anything that I mis-translated, feel free to holler on the talk page and tell me what it should say, Between the two of us, we can work it out! Ariel♥Gold 01:44, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Awesome idea

Excellent that you placed the "under construction" tag on the page while you're working on it! Good thinking! Ariel♥Gold 01:02, 12 August 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Redirect of IEEE J of QE

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on IEEE J of QE, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because IEEE J of QE is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting IEEE J of QE, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

[edit] 9/11

"Airplanes hit buildings; do not crush mislims yet"

Hi, could you please give me a more exact quote? I am interested by what you are saying, but I do not fully understand... — Xiutwel ♫☺♥♪ (talk) 19:11, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Xiutwel. Currently, I do not have it. Perhaps, we need to brouce the newspapers of that period. I expected the talk by President to appear at the top of the list of the references; it was first official announcement about the catastrophe. I listened it by TV, and I asked my friends and colleagues: "Why does he talk about muslims?", "What is relation between religion and the airplane accident?", and nobogy could explain me. I sent several letters to officials. The replies can be compressed to 3 sentences: "Thank you for your interest. We have a lot of such letters. We carefully investigate it, then we'll publish the results." Now I have no documents in my hands. I expected, some professionals carefully collect the references... dima (talk) 02:31, 16 January 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Your request

I'm only seeing your request now, but you have to let me know what's happening so I can help. I confess I can't see anything bad going on - perhaps because I only read English? - Nunh-huh 14:55, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
