[edit] Notes:

  • Time offset EST=-5 and EDT=-4 from Greenwich Mean Time/UTC.
  • Creating a subpage is just like creating a any other page, using the "slash" character before the name of the subpage.
  • comment: <!--Comment text here-->

[edit] Wiki Style:

  • Decade style seems to be the 4 digit start year with an ' 's' ' appended, i.e. 1980s.

[edit] University of Cambridge Vandal

Introduced a number of what I call "mockpuppets". They are like sockpuppets without all the trouble of actually registering. The user entered edits in the form of [[User:Wanker|wanker]] 14:08, 12 May 2005 (UTC). One edit 13:20 12 May 2005 from 131.111.8.97 entered spurious "keep" votes from

Other activity on this page from the University of Cambridge included the following. 131.111.8.97 Blanked comment by Whimemsz 131.111.203.154 replaced entire discussion with "TESS LIKES TO WANK SMALL DOGS" 131.111.8.96 added more explicit raunch to the above. After the page was reverted, 131.111.8.96 added abuse to another user. And it has continued.

WCFrancis 04:09, 14 May 2005 (UTC) - date-time added to Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress.

In April someone at Cambridge was vandalizing own talk page 131.111.8.96 (talk · contribs) with "At Cambridge, we like to wank small boys"

  • Footnote of interest: Visiting here today I noticed all the User links here had turned blue. All of them have suspected sockpuppet tags on them. -WCFrancis 16:46, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
Further: Only edits on all seven were by User:Cool Cat placing sockpuppet tags, first edit naming suspected puppeteer/user, second edit removing name of suspect (in 6 of the 7). No link to evidence provided. No user contributions found, either, except for User:Large remis. On that account there were two edits, both vandalism. -WCFrancis 15:08, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Adam Stemple

Adam Stemple page needs work. 14:42, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC). VfD info I entered:

  • Keep with expansion. Co-wrote 9 songs with Steven Brust on Songs from the Gypsy, a Boiled in Lead enhanced CD. Boiled in Lead albums are available nationwide; my opinion that "local musician" understates the case. Singer of Souls Tor Books 2005 ISBN: 0765311704 is his first novel (although he has written two others with Jane Yolen). --WCFrancis 16:09, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
The CD above had the distinction of having the full text of Brust's novel The Gypsy, on which the songs were based.
Further info from Boiled in Lead web site: "The group and the individual musicians have won over 18 Minnesota Music Awards, and toured throughout the US and in Europe. (See Wikipedia:WikiProject Music/Notability and Music Guidelines.) the band Boiled in Lead has been around over 20 years. Perhaps what is needed is an entry for Boiled in Lead with redirect from Adam Stemple entry, he thought out loud. The previous group Stemple was in was Cats Laughing, which also included notable fantasy/sf authors Steven Brust and Emma Bull. His current group is the Tim Malloys. All 3 groups have common musical roots of celtic and rock styles. -- WCFrancis 20:41, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Note: Adam Stemple produced Brust's "A Rose for Iconoclastes" as well as performing on the CD. Source: Steven Brust's web site.

[edit] Mission: SPACE

[[1]] Mission: Space is destination for redirect from Mission: SPACE.

Not any more. I combined and moved text back to Mission: SPACE, put the redirect on Mission: Space. --WCFrancis 03:26, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sponsorship

Hewlett Packard's teaming with imagineers began in April 2000 and HP merged with Compaq as of May 2002. Statement that HP took over sponsorship when acquired Compaq appears to be incorrect. reference: [2]. --WCFrancis 02:39, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

See Talk:Mission: Space -- this may be HP spin since Compaq announcement was made in 2000. -- WCFrancis 03:26, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Anaesthesia

[3] has regional anaesthesia entries but not local anaesthesia, although it has entries for local anaesthetics.

[4]

Use of local anaesthetic solution(s) to produce circumscribed areas of loss of sensation; a generic term including conduction, nerve block, spinal, epidural, field block, infiltration, and topical anaesthesia.
The use of a local anaesthetic (usually injected into the tissue) results in a small region of anaesthesia (numbness). Lidocaine (Xylocaine) or (Marcaine) are commonly used.

[edit] Things to do Urgent

  • De-stub Brunswick stew. Avoid starting edit wars with Brunswick County VA and Brunswick County NC.--WCFrancis 19:17, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Glynn County State Historical Marker Located at the Glynn County Courthouse, Brunswick, Ga.

Glynn County, one of the eight original Counties of Georgia, was organized under the 1777 Constitution of the State of Georgia. IT was named in honor of John Glynn, a member of the British House of Commons who defended the cause of the American Colonies in the difficulties which led to the Revolutionary War. Glynn County contains the lands formerly included in the Colonial Parishes of St. David, St. Patrick, and St. James, which had been organized in 1785.

[edit] I'm SO ashamed

Stealth falsification: (vandalism) Hackathon 02:28, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

No one found it. I removed it a minute ago. *sigh* 17:08, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Winkler

From LaMotte description for DO kit:

"Oxygen, Dissolved: The azide modification of the Winkler method is a modified iodometric titration whereby oxygen, in the presence of a strong alkali, oxidizes manganese, which in turn reacts with iodide to form iodine. This is titrated with a standard thiosulfate solution in the presence of a starch indicator to enhance the endpoint. Azide eliminates nitrite interference."

Good thumbnail description. need to rewrite somewhat so it cannot be thought to be copywrong. wcf Facts are stubborn. Comments? 14:03, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
