Hello; this is a talk page. Please leave me a message! (I will reply on your talk page.) Also, insults will generally not be taken seriously. Instead, I will probably laugh at your poor use of capitalization, horrible spelling, and/or confusing grammar. I am active usually between 23:00 and 6:00 UTC, so if you message me outside of that time you probably won't get an immediate response. --M1ss1ontomars2k4 (T | C | @)

[edit] Old Forge-Taylor Football Rivalry

What other information could be posted on such a page other than scores? Do you know how hard it is to research this information on old micro-films? This was a concise, informative page for everyone ever associated with the rivalry. What harm did it do by leaving it alone? P.S. The scores are dead on accurate as I researched EVERY year personally. Lou72JG (talk) 19:36, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Upcoming template changes

Hi, I've just noticed that you recently left a templated userpage message. I'm just bringing to your attention that the format and context of these templates will be shortly changing. It is recommended that you visit WikiProject user warnings and harmonisation discussion pages to find out how these changes could affect the templates you use. We also would appreciate any insights or thoughts you may have on the subject. Thanks for your understanding. Best regards Khukri (talk . contribs) 14:19, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] November Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Admin Coaching (needs coaches!)
Admin Coaching needs coaches!!! If you are an administrator, or even a generally experienced user, do consider signing up to be a coach.

Admin Coaching, now being coordinated by HighwayCello, is a program for people who want help learning some of the more subtle aspects of Wikipedia policy and culture. People are matched with experienced users who are willing to offer coaching. The program is designed for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins.
What's New?
The Tutorial Drive is a new Esperanza program! In an effort to make complicated processes on Wikipedia easier for everyone, Esperanza working to create and compile a list of tutorials about processes here on Wikipedia. Consider writing one!
A discussion on how Esperanza relates to the encyclopedia has been started; please add your thoughts.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.
The last AC meeting (full log)
  • The list of proposed programs has been updated, with some proposals being archived.
  • There is now a new program: the Tutorial Drive! Consider writing a tutorial on something you are good at doing on Wikipedia.
  • The suggestion of adding a cohesive look to all the Esperanza pages is being considered; join the discussion if you are interested!
  • In order to make a useful interlanguage welcome template, those involved in translation projects will be asked what English Wikipedia policies are most important and confusing to editors coming from other language Wikipedias.
  • A discussion of Esperanza's role in Wikipedia is being held, with all thoughts of all Esperanzians wanted!
  • Shreshth91 informed everyone that he will be leaving the Esperanza council as life is rather busy; his spot will be filled by the runner up from the last election, HighwayCello.

[edit] WikiGuard

Hey, thanks for contributing to the article. I know it's small, but every little bit helps. If you think it's looking okay now, check this out. Image:WikiGuard.png. --Brad Beattie (talk) 02:22, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey, I just noticed that you offered to test, which is great! I have a sourceforge page with a bug and feature tracker running. Right now the app isn't fully functional as clicking either of the revert buttons doesn't actually revert as I've yet to write the code. I suspect I'll get that part up and running within the next 2 days. I'll point you to the download after that. Cool? --Brad Beattie (talk) 05:27, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, the screenshot isn't a mock-up or anything. That's the in-development program running. Still a few things to be polished up, but I'll get it to you within 48 hours. :)

Okay, I got the most recent version up. I was working on integrating the webview, but I had to scrap it for this release as the MediaWiki API isn't yet letting me programmatically submit changes to articles (meaning we can't yet easily have a one-click revert button). So here's what you do: go and download the most recent version. Load it up and go nuts. Gimme a call on Skype if you're running into any problems. Cool? --Brad Beattie (talk) 11:51, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Also, here's the bug tracker and the feature tracker. Upload some new ones if you see anything and I'm not online. --Brad Beattie (talk) 12:11, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

The toolbar bug you're seeing is the result of having a previous version of WikiGuard installed, I think. Just drag the default toolbar back onto it. That should solve that. As for the other bugs, I've put them into the tracker and I'll take a look at them today. Much appreciated! --Brad Beattie (talk) 01:48, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey, do you have one of the following through which we could communicate (in order of preference): Skype (bradbeattie), GTalk (bradbeattie@gmail.com), IRC (bradbeattie@freenode)? Just contact me on one of those if you can. Makes active chatting easier. --Brad Beattie (talk) 01:55, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

For reverting vandalism to my user page. I appreciate it. --Guinnog 23:49, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] do you know, for sure that 24.80.106.240 editing Homophobia is not actually Supercraft99?

is that IP a known spoofer or sock-artist? just curious. i've seen people edit from an IP and sign their WP username and i've never seen this get blanked by someone else, except maybe in the Bogdanov affair. r b-j 00:44, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Well...I have some evidence both ways. 24.80.106.240 belongs to somebody in Canada, and Supercraft99 is, in fact, located in Canada. However, the IP is from Alberta whereas Supercraft99 is from British Columbia (according to his userpage). I don't really like impersonators, but perhaps I should have left this alone? What do you think? --M1ss1ontomars2k4 (T | C | @) 01:49, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
it's just that Homophobia is a really hot (as in controversial, perhaps i should call it "toxic" or "radioactive") WP article. it's been frozen since last month and, even with a mediator poking her head in, has had a lot of acrimony expressed in the talk page. if you know it isn't really Supercraft99, it should be removed. i dunno what to say if you have a good suspicion but not an air-tight case it is. the real Supercraft99 oughta be able to revert the deletion (hopefully logged in), but if the IP (or even someone else) reverts it, i would not delete it again, unless you know for sure it's a spoof. at least that's my judgement about it. r b-j 02:32, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello, it's Supercraft99 here. Sorry, I was tired and forgot to log in when I posted on the talk page. About the Alberta thing, my Internet Service Provider, Shaw, has it's head offices in Alberta. Supercraft99 04:38, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

I have encountered the article you created on IC 442. I found hardly anything on this galaxy in the scientific literature. As far as I can tell, it is a fairly uninteresting spiral galaxy.

[edit] Invitation

I've seen your edits to articles related to the Bay Area, such as Albany High School, so I was wondering if you'd like to join WikiProject San Francisco Bay Area. It's a WikiProject that focuses on improving Wikipedia's coverage of the Bay Area. If you'd like to join, just add your name to the member list. Thanks for reading! — Emiellaiendiay 08:18, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome

Hi, M1ss1ontomars2k4, and welcome to WikiProject
San Francisco Bay Area!

We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying, categorizing, and improving articles relevant to the Bay Area. Here are some points that may be helpful:

  • Our main aim is to help improve Bay Area-related articles, so if people ask for help with an article, please try your hardest to help them if you are able.
  • Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page. It is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
  • The project has several ongoing and developing activities, such as article quality assessment, which you are welcome to participate.
  • Our system for improving lower-quality articles is Jumpaclass. If you'll be editing stub, start, or B-class articles, consider using Jumpaclass to track your progress.
  • If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to our translation section, to help us improve our foreign Bay Area topics.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you.

Again, welcome! We hope you enjoy working on this project.


P.S. Right now we're focusing on tagging everything Bay Area-related. You can pitch in by adding {{SFBAProject | class=}} to the top of talk pages of articles. Think of anything Bay Area-related — it helps if they're obscure local articles no one else might think of. Click here if you need more information on assessing articles. Thanks!

[edit] Your screenshot of VandalFighter

On the VF page I noticed your screenshot of the application. When I run it, it doesn't use the OS X interface elements like yours, but instead has a nasty, grey, Windows 95 looking one. Are you doing anything particular to make it look like this, or is it an odd configuration on my end? Matt J User|Talk 21:10, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I just downloaded 3.3, and that has the OS X interface, I guess if I want to use 3.5, I'll have to bear the nastyness. Matt J User|Talk 09:38, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
I have further investigated, and it seems that every version up until the newest version in the 3.5 download page uses OS X widgets. Matt J User|Talk 11:07, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jumpaclass

This is an invitation to use WP:BAY's Jumpaclass option for improving articles. If you're working on any Bay Area-related stub, start, or B-class articles, simply add their names to the list, and if any of the articles improve a class within a week, you'll be recognized for your contributions. If you have any questions about how it works, post on the talk page or on mine. Thanks for reading! — Emiellaiendiay 21:31, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Transcription

A mutation within the protein coding sequence isn't generally expected to affect the synthesis of said gene's mRNA, but can certainly affect gene translation. If one considers the term "gene" to encompass all of the important non-coding sequences associated with each proteins's DNA coding sequence (promoter regions, splice sites, polyadenylation sites), then the answer is most certainly yes. -- Scientizzle 01:18, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

According to my 6/e Campbell, that stuff doesn't count as part of the gene, and our articles concur. Does that mean transcription would not be affected by a change in the genes? --M1ss1ontomars2k4 (T | C | @) 05:38, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
I haven't a Campbell laying around, but the gene article certainly lists the promoter as part of the gene, as well as the statement "Most genes contain non-coding regions that do not code for the gene products, but regulate gene expression". Truthfully, when most people say "gene" they really mean "coding sequence". A point mutation within the coding sequence on the DNA is fairly unlikely to cause a change in the transcription of that mRNA—but it's not impossible. We've only scratched the surface in terms of how expression is regulated. A point mutation may alter, say, a DNA methylation site (CpG site), changing the expression. (On a larger scale, see Fragile X syndrome). Some genes produce protein products that regulate their own expression and a point mutation altering the amino acid sequence could affect that interaction. If one does not restrict discussion to point mutations, but considers deletions, inversions, insertions and duplications, the odds are greater that a given alteration of the DNA sequence my affect transcription.
Outside of the protein-coding sequence, altering an initiation site, termination sequence, polyadenylation site or any number of regulatory, non-coding RNAs, could change mRNA expression of one or more genes. -- Scientizzle 20:58, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Why did you undo my changes (removed 'China totok' from transliteration list of 'Indonesian Chinese') on 31 May 2006? I explained the removal in the Talk page of that article. I've removed it again for now, if you think that is not appropriate, can you post a reason in the Talk page of the article? Thanks Benny Benjamin 14:24, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merck-information.com

Thanks for pulling me up on my 6+ month old edits! Looking at Special:Contributions/75.11.169.96 shows that they added a series of Google adsense links over a number of Merck articles. Merck-info is not an official site and the links added nothing over the official site already linked. It seems as though Merck-info has since lost their Google program though, probably for abuse, as there are no links any more! --Steve (Stephen) talk 04:34, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Help Vandalism

I am contacting you because you not only have edited the page Spells in Harry Potter, but are experienced in anti-vandalism. There is an IP that is continuously placing incorrect information onto the page (accidentally I think). I reverted this normally the first time, but when they entered in the same information, I reverted it as vandalism and gave them a substitute warning (which wouldn't format correctly for some reason). In the warning, I not only warned him, but explained calmly why their edit was incorrect. They then continued to edit the page, and I to revert it as vandalism. I gave them a more serious warning after this, and not long after, my user page was vandalized. I gave them a pretty serious attacking others warning (which I probably should have made less severe) and now I have no clue what to do. •Malinaccier• 01:43, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:CVU status

The Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to {{inactive}} and/or {{historical}} status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project. You have been identified as a project member and your input as to this matter would be welcomed at WT:CVU#Inactive.3F and at the deletion debate. Thank you!

[edit] Methylaluminoxane

Please explain why you restored an incorrect diagram for MAO? It's a poorly-defined substance, drawing it as a polymer is simply wrong. Iridium77 19:28, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi. MAO is a co-catalyst which is used to alkylate and ionize metallocene and post-metallocene catalysts. These are used to generate polyolefins, which is why it "shows up" in an article about polymerization. MAO can not form a polymeric structure - the electronics aren't right. Current best estimates are that it forms oligomeric structures, based around cyclic structures. There's a whole field of research trying to work out what the mixture of species in MAO solution are, mostly led by Tom Ziegler using DFT to investigate it.

MAO is pretty much a "black box" - it works, and that's all that really matters. It was discovered by accident when a grad student accidentally hydrolized TMA. The unpredictability of MAO is why most structural investigations into cation structure use perfluoroarylborate initiators instead of alkyl aluminiums.

If you want to see the evidence, read the Marks Chem Rev from 2000, or any of the more recent Ziegler papers discussing modelling. Iridium77 22:20, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Drug abuse ref?

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Usbovercurrent.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Usbovercurrent.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 20:53, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tiger for Intel

There's a MacBook in my household running Tiger as I type...--NapoliRoma 01:01, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Tiger was not sold in an Intel version, unlike Leopard
OK, I think I get it: there is a Tiger for Intel, but it was never sold as a separate product: it was only available as a preinstall on Intel Macs, since they were introduced when Tiger was the current release. Is that right?--NapoliRoma 01:16, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello there.

Your account appears to have been compromised since it just went on a rash of very uncharacteristic vandalism; I have blocked it indefinitely. If you want, you can establish your identity and we can unblock it. — Coren (talk) 20:46, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, its nothing personal. The relevant ANI post is at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Peculiar actions of apparently non-vandalist editor. Well, we're starting to think there's nothing wrong here and you should be unblocked whenever. In the mean time, you can create an alternate account to take part in the discussion (We are blocking you because we think your account is compromised, not because your a vandal or anything like that, so it's okay)--Phoenix-wiki (talk · contribs) 21:08, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
To the extent I was involved in setting off this unfortunate chain of events, I do want to tender my apologies. I knew just enough German to have been horrified by the articles' headers, but not enough Mozart to know that these were real pieces of music. I will point out that I did try to make sure that other editors were involved, in case it was my own ignorance at fault; and I didn't expect anybody to just jump in and block you right off the bat. I hope this has not interfered with your work in Wikipedia since (as I said) you have a good record here. --Orange Mike | Talk 21:31, 4 December 2007 (UTC) (a fellow Mac user, still running his tangerine iMac)

[edit] Speedy deletion of VectorMagic

A tag has been placed on VectorMagic requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, 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 indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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 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.

[edit] Featured sounds

I noticed that you have participated in Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates in the past. There are now two candidates and the project appears to be abandoned. If you could look at the candidates and vote it would be appreciated. Zginder (talk) (Contrib) 00:35, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Cpu-z.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Cpu-z.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 01:31, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] rollback

I have granted rollback rights to your account, because after a review of some of your contributions it appears that we can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended use of reverting vandalism: and believe you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Rollback feature and Rollback school. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Cheers, NoSeptember 19:27, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Template:User editcountitis

A tag has been placed on Template:User editcountitis requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).

Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 20:00, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User talk:76.19.82.136

Hi, I noticed this user's edits to Fluid statics at the same time as you but you made corrections before me. However, I do think that your comment on the user's talk page was way over the top. Assuming good faith (from what I can see the edit was correct) is, as I'm sure you're aware, a big part of Wikipedia. Berating a newbie for making what appears to be an honest mistake on their first edit is a sure fire way to put people off our encyclopedia! I apologise if I come across as a busy-body but I thought it had to be said. RaseaC (talk) 00:15, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Yes, I do care to explain

It seems that the "fourth Nelly Furtado album" is made up, and given an inappropriate name. As much as users might want to hear Nelly Furtado sing that, its not true. image:wink.png Nothing444 00:19, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] moved from archive 1

Erm...have no idea if this is the way to pass on a message, but I appreciate your bang-on-the-money moderation of my slightly (okay massively) daft addition to the wiki. Top marks.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.67.254.251 (talk • contribs)


[edit] Wafa Sultan

What I have reverted is a clear vandalism... I have removed bad references and added a good reference..... please read before you judge —Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.87.13.9 (talk) 21:13, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

The Time link that was removed .... it was part of the <!- > tag... it was a comment that does not show on the screen... also Sydny Times never syas she was sunni - so adding this is a vandalism --148.87.13.9 (talk) 22:37, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Please don't lie. The Jerusalem Post article says More sensational is the fact that the outspoken 49-year-old is herself a Sunni Muslim. Well, she was born and raised as one, at any rate. and the Sydney Morning Herald, at page 2, says The Syrian-born Sunni Muslim Dr Wafa Sultan has recently completed a visit to Australia. Your source cites Wikipedia as a source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.216.113.163 (talk) 23:05, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wafa Sultan vandal

Can you please report Special:Contributions/148.87.13.9? He won't stop. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.216.113.163 (talk) 23:22, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

No I think he's very familiar with how things go in Wikipedia. When someone removes sources from the Jerusalem Post and the Sunday Morning Herald and replaces them with a reference from some crappy website that mentions Wikipedia as a source, it is pure vandalism and not edit warring. Never mind, I'm report him myself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.216.113.163 (talk) 23:28, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Assume good faith

Are you claiming that I am a troll. I hope not. If so, you should probably look up what a troll is. - DiligentTerrier (and friends) 23:43, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Alright, so I wasn't trolling, I just apparently don't have a clue about Wikipedia's policy according to you. Now I get it. - DiligentTerrier (and friends) 23:29, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
