[edit] PNC Debate

Mike, You voted delete at Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Template:pnc, but you expressed some optimism for a better version of the template, with a consensus at WP:N. I pushed this template really hard in order to generate some discussion. My experience is that unless something shows up in the actual text it just doesn't get real attention at the talk pages. The text as written is not specifically to my liking, but I feel that we now have the momentum to reach a consensus on the language, if we can preserve the concept of the template past this deletion process. Can we get your support for continued existence of the template by a Keep vote, or at least a neutral? Thanks! --Kevin Murray 03:02, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I voted a weak delete. I wasn't quite sure, I didn't like the current version. mike4ty4 23:24, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

I revoked the vote I put up just now, to neutral, with a leaning towards an extremely weak keep. It's the consensus that's the rub. mike4ty4 23:33, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copy of Matrixism

If you would like to see a copy of the deleted article for your reference, I can temporarily userfy it for you, provided of course that you understand it would be a temporary copy to be deleted once you've reviewed it to your satisfaction. Would this work for you? Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 20:09, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it would. mike4ty4 20:12, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Can find it at User:Mike4ty4/temp. When you're done with it, let me know, or slap {{db-userreq}} on it, and someone'll be along to delete it. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 14:46, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm done with it for now, so go ahead and get rid of it. mike4ty4 20:31, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] PORNBIO

You proposed merging PORNBIO into BIO. Nothing has progressed on this. Shall we move ahead? --Kevin Murray 13:33, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Maybe, but it should get consensus support first. mike4ty4 20:11, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks...

Appreciate your input here.

I think it improves the article from a physicists viewpoint on QM, but I was citing the use of the the Copenhagen Interpretation by proponents as an analogy, that analogy is made in the context of a "Consciousness causes collapse" interpretation.

The so-called "copenhagen interpretation" is not a single viewpoint, and CCC is a subset system within the larger set of interpretations.

So. if you don't mind, I'd like to cite CCC in addition to CI and restore the conscious observer language as such...

Thoughts?riverguy42 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 21:29, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Ah, alright, but it needs to be clarified that it is indeed referring to that "use by proponents", not asserting things about QM that are not accepted by the entire scientific community. Since it seemed to be declaring that QM was that way, I felt it needed a change. mike4ty4 (talk) 22:34, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks...In addition to being a gentleman and a scholar, you are also 100% correct here. I can see how your changes to my original wording were entirely warranted. I will make it clear that I am attributing the use of this analogy to the proponents, and make sure that it does not imply that the CCC "interpretation" is either the same as, or is the primary "Copenhagen Interpretation". riverguy42 (talk) 00:31, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Sounds like a good idea. mike4ty4 (talk) 07:12, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Follow-up...actually, after re-reading I think you improved my edit. I'm leaving it as is.riverguy42 (talk) 17:55, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh, you're the one who added the original text? Ahhh, I didn't know that. Well, that's good. I guess I made it better! You're welcome. mike4ty4 (talk) 20:53, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
