Hi Michael,

Welcome to Wikipedia. I'm fairly new here myself. I saw your request for help at Talk:Chemical Kinetics. You made no serious error. I just found out that the whole thing is a capitalisation problem. You tried to merge with Chemical Kinetics instead of Chemical kinetics. The old page is still at Chemical kinetics. Look here for an offer to help with merging while preserving the history of both pages. Happy editing! Jan van Male 14:11, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Netflix Denies Recommendations to Some Users

I have received no recommendations for months at a time, despite having rated over a thousand movies. In fact, I have found titles that were starred (should have been recommended to me), but Netflix was not showing them on my Recommendations page.

I have also read about this problem from several others on the Hacking Netflix blog. You don't have any just cause to delete a statement of personal experience. This is not opinion. They're denying recommendations to certain users. In fact, I have contacted them about this repeatedly and received no action whatsoever. Their form letter advice was to rate more movies.

Don't go around vandalizing other people's contributions when you don't even know what they're talking about. It's rather hard to "back up" statements of experience, but you can see others reporting the problem with recommendations if you do some searching.

One, I don't know who you are. Sign your post so i can write back. Second, it may be hard to back up statements of personal experience, but you have to back them up. You can't go around just saying "OH IT HAPPENED TO ME THEREFORE IT IS FACT." I searched Hacking Netflix and found that the bug you're speaking of is from April of 2005. A little outdated to say the least. So until you can provide something with more substance, I'm going to remove it. Secondly, the recommendation page is dynamically generated each time you view it, so movies that are recommended to you will not necessarily show up. --Michael 21:44, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
