[edit] Riane Eisler's Page

Hi Karuna8. I've noticed you keep reverting Riane Eisler's page to it's original. I am her assistant & have the authority to update her bio. I am new to Wikipedia & therefore I am unaware of many of its "rules", however I'm pretty sure I'm not violating any copyright issues. Please let me know what it is I may be doing wrong.

[edit] Helpme: Wikibooks Main Page

Someone vandalized the Wikibooks main page and managed to lock it out. Some admin please fix this.

Done. —Centrx→talk • 20:52, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Polyhydroxyethylmethacrylate

You wrote here (requested pictures) about this image. I'd help, but the image is saved as a JPEG, so it's hard to do much. Depending on limitations of the program it was generated with, perhaps you can save the image again as an SVG? If that isn't an option, saving it as a PNG or GIF would help. If it's in photoshop, the PSD or PDD version would be great. JPEGs are best for photographs of real world scenes. For line art, graphs, etc., PNG is best suited, GIF as a last resort. Do you have the image in another form? — EncMstr 17:05, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

I posted that picture to demonstrate the structure. All my .svg file would have are the letters. By the way, that's an 'n' in the bottom right corner- see Poly(p-phenylene sulfide) for an example of a well made polymer image. --Karuna8 02:51, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
I haven't drawn these before, so I might have missed major points—never mind the minor ones. Have a look at this and tell me what needs changing. I tried to make the default size bigger, but overlooked something. If you click on it (maybe several times) you'll eventually get a good sized view. — EncMstr 09:05, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
The full size image looks great, thanks. But the image did load at first being too small. Once that is fixed, can you add it to the Polyhydroxyethylmethacrylate page? I'll watch and learn how to add images. --Karuna8 15:20, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
I finally figured out the SVG image size tweak. I used Open Office Draw: All I had to do was decrease the layout page size to what was being used, not just the margins. Even as a thumbnail, it looks pretty good on the page.
I'm a little concerned about the carbon at the left (which links to the next n unit), shouldn't it have two more bonds on it? — EncMstr 18:03, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
Yes, sorry, the carbon on the left should have -H's on the top and bottom. I also used Draw, but couldn't get the bond lines to go in the right places. --Karuna8 18:33, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
I added an H pair. You might have to bypass your cache to see the change. I, too, wrestled with the bond lines for a round or two. They wanted to be too long, then too short. — EncMstr 18:54, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
Ok, we're getting closer. One more bizarre problem- from the article, click on the image, then on the .svg file, it gives a full screen image but the letters disappear on my computer.  ? --Karuna8 19:57, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
Hmmm, must be an effect of the Heisenburg Uncertainty Principle. :-) It happens to me to with both SeaMonkey and FireFox. IE doesn't have the first clue what to do with it. It looks like the Mozilla-family browsers don't fully implement SVG rendering. The browser Find with O, H or C finds them, but doesn't show where it did.... The extra click-on-image downloads the raw data. I'm thinking this isn't too big a problem since the thumb sized image is quite readable. — EncMstr 20:48, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi there

I read what you wrote on Talk:Oppositional defiant disorder "..ODD, like so many disorders that have been defined in recent years, is essentially a marketing campaign by pharmaceutical companies to sell drugs to children." I have held the same view for a long time and belive that this is the truth behind so many diagnoses. Cheers. Doctors without suspenders 23:48, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Don't forget to subst: templates!

Hi,

When using certain template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template.

Thanks! :)

[edit] Dichlor

Sure, no problem. The structures are indeed very similar — dichlor just lacks the 5-chlorine. I'll upload a diagram in a few minutes. Best, Fvasconcellos 00:35, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Glad to help. :) Fvasconcellos 01:23, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alice Miller

Thanks Karuna8 for your recent copyedit in the Alice Miller page. I’ve been very busy in real world and had no longer the article on my watch list. I hope however I can look at it once in a while. —Cesar Tort 21:23, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi again Karuna8.
Please note that we are not supposed to just remove our posts once they have been answered. They have to be archived. But don't worry: I will archive it for you :) —Cesar Tort 02:33, 24 March 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Thanks

for reverting in the Alice Miller article.

You know, I'm going for a long trip this Friday and will not be able to edit in WP on a regular basis. It's good to know that someone else has this article in her/his watchlist.

Cheers,

—Cesar Tort 17:57, 8 August 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Hello

I don't know if you care, but by chance I was given an ip you had sent a message to some 16 days ago I just thought it was funny 70.246.25.190 19:17, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edits to 8-Circuit Model of Consciousness

You just un-did a couple of my good-faith edits to 8-Circuit Model of Consciousness. I agree that it would be great to have a nicely referenced criticisms section for this article, but frankly it is such rubbish that I don't think any reputable person would ever bother to publish criticism of it. The entire article is lacking in references and needs a little skeptical balancing in order to be considered neutral. The criticisms section was not just one person's opinion; the first part of that section was already in the article. I just moved it to its own section and added a little bit of my own content. You removed the whole thing. You also removed the characterization as "pseudoscience", which I discussed in some detail on the talk page for the article. The theory clearly meets the criteria of pseudoscience. You might consider putting your argument against this in the talk page. If you think what I did is wrong, perhaps you have some suggestions as to how to improve this otherwise rather biased article -- I think it is important that Wikipedia not present unscientific rubbish as if it were credible science. At least there was one paragraph in there saying that scientists did not support the idea before I made my edits -- after your edits, there is nothing suggesting that anybody might disagree with this idea. I welcome your thoughts on how to correct that problem. Randall Nortman (talk) 19:46, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kettlebell Video Gallery deletions

Karuna8, Hello, I am rather new to Wikipedia and perhaps don't understand how everything works. But, I notice you keep deleteing my reference to the Kettlebell Video Gallery at http://www.liftkettlebells.com/videos/kettlebell-video-gallery.aspx

It appears that you are referring to it as Spam. I have to say that this is not spam, and probably the most useful piece of information on kettlebells for the entire wikipedia kettlebell entry.

You should know that all videos included on this site are displayed with explicit permission from the owners of the videos.

If you have any other concerns, please make them more clear. I would be happy to follow any specific wikipedia rules I may be violating... I am very new to all this. Jeff —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kbjeff (talk • contribs) 18:26, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wilhelm Reich

{{helpme}} We aren't able to edit the page Wilhelm Reich. It says that it contains a blacklisted spam site, which I was not able to find in the article. --Karuna8 (talk) 22:35, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

I've found it and removed the link so it won't trigger the spam filter. You can edit as normal again. :) Stwalkerster [ talk ] 22:49, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
