Hi. Metalloendopeptidase ↗ didn't need the :Category:Enzymes ↗, as the "EC" category is a grandchild of that category. JFW&nbsp;|&nbsp;<small>T@lk</small> ↗ 08:02, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Did you know has been updated

Article Licensing



Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license ↗ all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons ↗ Attribution-Share Alike (''CC-by-sa'') v1.0 and v2.0 License ↗s or into the public domain ↗ if they prefer. The ''CC-by-sa'' license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL ↗, but it allows '''other projects''', such as WikiTravel ↗, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 ↗ Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at ''minimum'' those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "'''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>'''" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace ↗. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

:'''Option 1'''
:<nowiki>I agree to multi-license ↗ all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:</nowiki>
:<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>
'''OR'''
:'''Option 2'''
:<nowiki>I agree to multi-license ↗ all my contributions to any U.S. state ↗, county, or city article as described below:</nowiki>
:<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "'''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>'''" with "'''<nowiki>{{MultiLicensePD}}</nowiki>'''". If you only prefer using the GFDL ↗, I would like to know that too. ''Please let me know'' what you think at my '''talk page'''. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment ↗| talk)

Natsume Soseki


After seeing this: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Natsume_Soseki&diff=6818602&oldid=6566292 - I wanna tell ya that his name goes like this: Natsume, Soseki - Natsume is his family name WhisperToMe 17:04, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Ada



While it is true that Ada programming language ↗ is not an system it is however a programming languges designed for embedded system. Maybe you want to read http://www.adaic.org/standards/95lrm/html/RM-C.html Annex C (normative) Systems Programming ↗ ff. or http://www.adaic.org/standards/95lrm/html/RM-H-4.html H.4 Safety and Security Restrictions ↗ which are only two exampels.

Casino Category changes



Why would you want those casinos to not appear in the '''Casinos of the United States''' category list or the '''Casinos''' list? They are now 'hidden' in the '''Casinos of Nevada''' subcategory.Vegaswikian 07:55, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Spelling



Thanks for all the effort put into the articles relating to Las Vegas. On another note, ''property'' doesn't contain an '''I''', unless my California education fails me *Smile*. Guy M <sup>(Talk)</sup> 13:20, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)

CFD listings



Hi. Please remember to tag the categories you list for deletion or renaming. Please read ''How to use this page'' on Wikipedia:Categories for deletion ↗. Thanks. RedWolf 18:05, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)

James Dobson article categorization


You removed a link to a perfectly reasonable category: :Category:Child-beating advocates ↗, which can easily stretch to include all those who advocate beating children into submission. (Remember, ''authority'' is the person who is bigger than you, and has the gun/fist/iron bar). Which part do you not believe to be reasonable? As Dobson freely admits, he advocates the beating of children until they cry, followed, if necessary, by more of the same. Thus:
Which part of this do you not agree with? -- The Anome 14:41, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)

Geo-stub for Riphaeus Mountains ↗



Hi Hooperbloob - just in case any more of these turn up, places on the moon don't get geo-stub (that's for places on Earth). They get astro-stub! :) Grutness|<sup>hello? ↗</sup> 25px| ↗ 07:50, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
:Great, I had a nagging feeling about that. Thanks for clearing it up!--Hooperbloob 18:01, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Categorizing


You're doing a great job in categorizing articles. I haven't paid attention that Tetra Pak ↗ wasn't categorized as packaging! -- Svest 02:54, May 28, 2005 (UTC) <sup>Wiki me up&#153; ↗</sup>

I was just wondering: does your username refer to the Dr. Seuss character?--Joel 00:35, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

DB-9 aka DE-9 connector pictures



THere's some good pictures at D-subminiature ↗ - after I saw that article I thought there was no need for DE-9, DB-25, DA-36 etc. to have their own pages - among the things Wikipedia is not ↗ or ought not to be is a parts catalog. Anyway, I don't think DB-9 ↗ needs pictures. --Wtshymanski 02:13, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

"Articles needing images"


Hi Hooperbloob, I noticed you recently put some articles in the "Articles needing images" category. To make this easier, you can use the Template <nowiki>{{Reqimage}}</nowiki>, as this will automatically include it in that cat, as well as notify people that you would like an image. Also see: Wikipedia:Requested pictures ↗. Thanks. <span style="color:#FF0033;"><></span>Who<span style="color:#00Ff00;">?</span><span style="color:#FF00FF;">&iquest;</span><span style="color:#0033FF;">?</span> 05:24, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Incomplete VFD nominations



Please check WP:VFD ↗ at the bottom. You seem to be leaving out step 3 and no one will vote unless you do that step. Also, please check out the nifty template in step 2. Your nomination pages haven't been in the standard format (and it will look weird in the VFD list otherwise).

I fixed the clarion village ↗ and balefire (book series) ↗ nominations but the rest of your nominations should be checked to make sure they get voted on. If you go to the vote page and do a ''what links here'', there should be a link from a page link ''Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Log/2005 June 15'' that indicates step 3 was finished. RJFJR 16:39, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

I also fixed Adele Kupchella ↗ and General purpose computer ↗. RJFJR 18:47, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)


lots of edits, not an admin



Hi - I made a list of users who've been around long enough to have made lots of edits but aren't admins. If you're at all interested in becoming an admin, can you please add an '*' immediately before your name in this list? I've suggested folks nominating someone might want to puruse this list, although there is certainly no guarantee anyone will ever look at it. Thanks. -- Rick Block ↗ <small>(talk ↗)</small> 18:37, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

Composers



Hi there--noticed you'd taken out the "Composers" category as redundant in the Eric Qin article, as there was an "American composers" link there already. I've been making it a point to list new American composers in both categories as they're not mutually exclusive but I see your reasoning. One question, though: as every composer is from a particular nation, why does the "Composers" category exist? Only for composers whose nationality is not known? Hope you can fill me in on this. Thanks --Badagnani


Yes, completely. I'm actually doing my dissertation on an Egyptian composer (not ski jumper)! A lot of the new composers listed under "Composers" are mine, and can thus probably be removed from there as I think all of them were also listed under their nationality (no extremely obscure countries among them). One more question, as I'm fairly new at this: how do you all get your signatures with user page link, time, and date in your "Talk" postings? Mine always show up without this. Thanks again. --Badagnani


Martha Burk ↗



The page on Martha Burk ↗ that you created has been listed for speedy deleteion. Take a look on that page or on WP:CSD ↗ for more info on this process. --DES 20:18, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

Nominated Going off half-cocked for VfD



Thank you for this entry. Since it really belongs in Wiktionary, I created an entry there, using nearly all of your text, made the link from flintlock ↗ a transwiki and am now proposing the article for deletion on the grounds of Wikipedia is not a dictionary ↗. The only other reasonable option I see is to change it to a redirect, which I will do if the consensus is '''keep'''. Robert A West 22:52, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Same for lock, stock and barrel ↗. Robert A West 23:04, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Aircraf components category



Good call on this. I'd been adding stuff to configurations without really thinking about it for a while. I've switched a few to both categories - like the types of tails and landing gear. Anyway, glad you thought of it. -eric<nowiki></nowiki> &#9992; ↗ 07:08, 12 August 2005 (UTC)


Probably wouldn't hurt, although that's quite a bit narrower than the other existing categories. -eric<nowiki></nowiki> &#9992; ↗ 08:50, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

VERP



you took out the <nowiki>{{stublist}}</nowiki> tag in the VERP article... should I not have used that? the list needs contributions. Tcsetattr 04:01, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Stub article


Did you mean to remove the stub category from Jordan sunshine recorder ↗? I think it should be there. CambridgeBayWeather 21:40, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
:Oops, my bad, I've put it back - good catch. --Hooperbloob 21:51, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

:Category:Puerto Rican people ↗



This category is being deleted as per WP:CFD ↗, please DO NOT re-add this category to articles. Thank you. <span style="color:#FF0033;">&infin;</span> ↗Who<span style="color:#00Ff00;">?</span><span style="color:#FF00FF;">&iquest;</span><span style="color:#0033FF;">?</span> 13:59, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
: Whoa! Are you sure that deletion of the actual category was the final concensus of the CFD? The issue being discussed was depopulation of numerous
articles that used it for no reason.--Hooperbloob 14:10, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
::Yes, I am quite sure. I have been doing CFD for quite awhile, and I'm one of the main maintenance editors. You can goto WP:CFD ↗ and look at to be emptied/moved ↗. The only things not being deleted, per consensus, are the sub-cats.

:::Hi, I just wanted to appologize if I came off a bit rash. Its difficult to do some of the mass re-cat's, and I try to do the best I can in proper cat'ing and fixing errors as I go. That particular CFD was not so cut & dry. We collaborated and thought it should probably be deleted, but I compared it to other cat's and kept it with its current config. Thanks for your input.

Minor edits



Remember to mark your edits as '''m'''inor only when they genuinely are (see Wikipedia:Minor edit ↗). "The rule of thumb is that an edit of a page that is spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a 'minor edit'." (Thanks for your contributions, major and minor!) -Willmcw 20:03, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Sports page articles



Thanks for the comment - I'd like to refer you to Wikipedia talk:Centralized discussion/Sports results ↗, where you'd see my arguments for the inclusion of these. I'd also like to point out that these articles will be merged into season reviews at some point later this year. Sam Vimes 18:00, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Lens categorization


I see you have been involved in the categorization of lenses. I have moved all of the photographic lenses (and :category:lenses by type ↗) to a new category, :category:photographic lenses ↗, to separate them from other types of lens and allow me to reduce clutter and better orgainize :category:optics ↗.--Srleffler 22:14, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
:Thats fine, and thanks for letting me know. However, I believe that :category:lenses by type ↗ should be positioned above :category:photographic lenses ↗ and below :Category:Lenses ↗ since this keeps them organized by their usage and application. We probably also need a lens type category for (opthamological lenses?) i.e. glasses, contact lenses.. --Hooperbloob 22:51, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

::I do not think there is a need for a "lenses by type" category between :category:Lenses ↗ and :category:photographic lenses ↗. Right now, everything in :category:lenses by type ↗ is a photographic lens. If this level of organization is not needed anymore, those lenses could all be moved up into :category:photographic lenses ↗, and the former category could be deleted. I assumed this category was created because there are a lot of different kinds of camera lenses, and someone thought it might be useful to sort or organize them by type, so I left the category alone. --Srleffler 03:09, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

::I have moved all the lenses out of :category:lenses by type ↗, to clear the way for deleting it. If it's still useful to organize lenses by type, I think it would be much better to make appropriately-named categories directly under :category:lenses ↗ (e.g. photographic lenses, opthalmic lenses, etc.), or under :category:photographic lenses ↗ (e.g. zoom lenses, wide-angle lenses, etc.) I don't actually think there are enough lenses right now to merit splitting up the categories. If the number of articles grows, it may be worthwhile later.--Srleffler 02:35, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
:::I was debating all this in my head the last few days. The reason the xxx-by-type was created was to separate the type of lens from the various models that the various fans write up. You can see how this is useful in helping to separate the various camera types :Category:Cameras by type ↗ from the numerous cameras themselves (:Category:cameras ↗). In regards to the lenses I can't really see anything notable about the specific lenses listed so they're probably due for deletion. This would render the need for :Category:Lenses by type ↗ moot for the time being. And yes, if it was to return we'd probably name it :Category:Photographic lenses by type ↗ to be more accurate. --Hooperbloob 02:59, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Cricketer category



Hi. You deleted the "English cricketers" category from Jim Parks senior ↗. The consensus in Wikiproject:Cricket is that there are separate categories for Test cricketers and for all cricketers from a country. I can see your logic that this is duplication, because it is, but maybe you should discuss on the Project talk page before making changes. And perhaps you'd like to join the project as a contributor. You'd be very welcome. :-) Johnlp 13:09, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for deleting my comment about Coleman and hot tubs; you'd think I would have remembered my comment since it finally inspired me to start the hot tub ↗ article, but I guess the old neurons are getting old! :-)

On User talk:Dino you note,

Oh, maybe I was a bit nasty. But a observation by one person slashdot? Shouldn't we use more solid references?

:Rather that document all the schools in your area I would suggest picking a few interesting ones and seeing if you can come up with some compelling content for them first before starting on any others. Its much better to have a few great articles than a lot of mediocre ones.--Hooperbloob 07:04, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
Well, what i'm also hoping will happen is that it will allow others who aren't wiki-savvy to add in.
for those who are just popping in and want to see if there's something new with thier school, they wouldn't know where to begin in creating thier own article and stubs allow them to add on what they know. --&#123;&#123;User:Preschooler.at.heart/sig}} 17:50, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

:I thought about it, once, then found it more helpful to me to be without since it makes my id stand out in red in history lists - much easier for me to spot. Practicality trumps vanity as I mentioned to someone else. :) --Hooperbloob 21:42, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Noise subcategorie



You wrote:

All of your articles on noise weighting & measurement seem to be scattered across a number of noise & sound-related categories. I'd suggest creating a new category for them but I'm flummoxed as to an appropriate name for them that would properly capture their semantics. Perhaps :Category:Noise quantification ↗ ? --Hooperbloob 17:43, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

:I find that many many articles have no category or lack appropriate categories. I do not find categories very useful for searching, which is why I have introduced the Wikipedia:Root page ↗ concept, which 'ties down' a page to a central topic with easy navigation around the whole topic. Perhaps you would take a look at it - we need support to make it policy. I wouldn't bother with 'noise quantification', after all, most pages list multiple categories. The main one needed is Noise. --Lindosland 18:06, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

She is two of the three because of a marriage back into the same family. I'll double check and rewrite to eliminate the wrong one.

Please make sure your hyphenation makes sense



You added some hyphens to the articles Quarter-comma meantone ↗, Syntonic comma ↗, and Schismatic temperament ↗ that made no sense. Apparently you assumed e.g. "four fifths" meant the fraction 4/5 so you hyphenated it "four-fifths", but if you had actually read it and understood the context, you would have seen it meant "four intervals of a fifth", so it makes no sense to hyphenate it. No harm done, but please be more careful in the future. —Keenan Pepper 16:48, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Your recent removal of categories from Relief valve ↗



You recently removed :Category:Chemical engineering ↗ and :Category:Mechanical engineering ↗ from the Relief valve ↗ article because it was your personal judgement that they were not relevant enough. You are obviously not an experienced engineer if you don't know that 95% or more of the relief valves used in industrial plants are designed, specified and ordered to be installed by chemical and mechanical engineers. '''If you don't know that, then you should not be imposing your personal judgements as to the relevancy of categories in engineering or technical articles.''' If a category link is broken, or duplicated in a sub-category, or misplaced, or mis-spelled ... then by all means go ahead and fix them or remove them. But please stop imposing your '''unilateral''' personal judgements as to their relevancy. - mbeychok 04:47, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Do you have any proof that Cagiva own/ed no stock, because I have an interview with the younger Castiglioni from 1997 lamenting that TPG had misrepresented the transaction to the US media, that Cagiva still had 20 to 30 percent of the stock, and were still involved.

A request for assistance


Would you support the concept of moving the Earhart "myths" to a separate page or article? The reason for my suggesting this is that the main article should be an accurate and scholarly work while the speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding the disappearance of Amelia Earhart are interesting, they belong in a unique section. Most researchers, as you know, discount the many theories and speculation that has arisen in the years following her last flight. Go onto the Earhart discussion page and register your vote/comments...and a Happy New Year to you as well. Bzuk 03:02 3 January 2007 (UTC).

Comment



Please excuse me if I am editig incorrectly. I'm trying to respond (under "Torpex") to the question about the meaning of "Secondary Explosive":
High explosives are catregorized as "Primary" or "Secondary". Primary explosives are those that covert from "deflagration" (burning) to detonation with little or no confinement, while Secondary high explosives require a "primer" and/or "booster" to properly detonate. Mercury Fulminate would be an example of a primary while TNT and Glycerol tri-nitrate (Nitroglycerine) would be secondaries.

Judy Wood



The page I created on Judy Wood is not a Resume.

She is the ONLY 9/11 researcher ever to file her evidence with a court of law, and one of her court cases made it all the way to the Supreme Court.

See the references in the article if you don't believe me.

She is very notable, and she is fighting for ALL OF US. I cannot believe you call the article a Resume, when it is far from that.

You are doing a disservice to Wikipedia by trying to censor the amazing and important research of Dr. Judy Wood.

Please knock it off.

-Abe

Abraham Hafiz Rodriguez 05:33, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

:While we always appreciate new contributions on Wikipedia, your article in its current form reads more like a puff piece with dubious links to Judy's own website. You're going to face an uphill battle trying to maintain it as is. For example, just about the only relevant category that applies to the article is one you haven't listed: :Category:9/11 conspiracy theorists ↗. --Hooperbloob (talk) 05:52, 9 April 2010 (UTC)


Dr. Judy Wood Notability



Isn't this a notable secondary source though?

Dr. Wood was invited to present her research on the very popular radio show, 'We Ourselves', hosted by Ambrose Lane. The radio station is WPFW 89.3 - Washington, D.C. The interview is all over the internet, but a direct link to it is here: http://www.weourselves.org/wpfw/052308.html

Please let me know. Thank you.

&#39;&#39;&#39;Abraham Hafiz Rodriguez&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 00:43, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

:I would give Judy Woods a rest, seriously. Your own credibility over the topic has put her and you on the radar of a number of people and even if you came up with really good references from the NYTimes or Bloomberg you wouldn't be able to create the article anyways - the name is has been blocked for a while. If you really want to pursue it then I'd suggest creating a private page of your own to develop it. Nobody would fiddle with it and you can craft it until its acceptable. I could help you there. But the comments of the others are still very valid.--Hooperbloob (talk) 03:46, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

:: The two reasons given for the deletion of the content was: 1. She is not notable. 2. Copyright violation.
:: I have copy right permission from her personally, and I was going to have her email the permissions list until all this happened.
:: As for a notability, Dr. Wood is the only 9/11 researcher ever to file her evidence in a court of law, and her court case made it all the way to the Supreme court. She discusses her research and the court cases on the very popular Washington DC Radio Station WPFW 89.3, on the Ambrose Lane 'We Ourselves' show. There are many other places she has presented, but this is one of the most mainstream and credible places.
:: Considering that Dr. Wood has done more to bring about truth and justice regarding 9/11 than many other 9/11 researchers who are mentioned in the 9/11 Truth Movement, I think some information about her should be added to the 9/11 Truth Movement wikipedia page.
:: &#39;&#39;&#39;Abraham Hafiz Rodriguez&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 05:28, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
:::Ok, editing another article on the overall subject is a better place to start. Just be aware that print-oriented sources are preferred as these are much easier to verify - radio programs are ephemeral. Once an article grows too large then editors can agree to spawn off subsections into other articles. Just stay away from Judy Woods on her own for the time being.--Hooperbloob (talk) 14:45, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion ↗ nomination of :Category:Spacecraft decomissioned in 2009 ↗


48px|left|alt=|link= ↗

A tag has been placed on :Category:Spacecraft decomissioned in 2009 ↗ requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category ↗, a category redirect ↗, a featured topics category ↗, under discussion at Categories for discussion ↗, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by visiting the page ↗ and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines ↗. <!-- Template:Db-catempty-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">'''''L'''''iz</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">'''''Read!''''' ↗ '''''Talk!'''''</sup> 01:28, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
