Notability of WYPS

A tag has been placed on WYPS, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Haemo 10:39, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

nuclear power

Hey man, thank you for the kind words of support that you left on my talk page. I was wondering if you could weigh in your opinion on the talk page of nuclear power to give your opinion about the inclusion of the material that I provided, but which mojo chan has consistently removed/censored. Seen as you are the only other active user from the talk page, I would greatly appreciate your help. Do you agree that the article should be returned to your last edit? because I do. Boundarylayer (talk) 18:50, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

I would prefer not to use skype

I understand your effective idea about a collaboration over skype, however I would prefer if we remained using the talk pages of our respective user pages, Is that ok?

Although there have been some edits since your 12 december 2012 edit of the nuclear power page, the material removed has not been replaced, nor has there been any concrete reason for its removal. Instead user: mojo chan has simply denied they were important edits(although what could be more important than the safety record of nuclear power in terms of lives life per unit of electricity delivered?), and Mojochan has displayed the unreasonable decision that everything positive about nuclear power could only possible be from industry shills'. With this term being used for the entire EU apparently, along with many independent universities.

Obviously this guy is not exactly playing with a full deck.

What's to be done? Boundarylayer (talk) 03:03, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

How did you start working for the Environmental Court of Brussels?

That sounds like a fascinating tale you could tell!

I'm all ears- as the saying goes. Boundarylayer (talk) 07:19, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

@Boundarylayer - Well, to make sure judges come from all political viewpoints, the political parties have to propose candidate judges according to the number of votes they got in the elections. So if there are 3 parties in a country - party 1 holds 10% of the votes; party 2 holds 20% of the votes and party 3 holds 70% of the votes - and you need 10 judges, then 1 judge will come from the list proposed by party 1, 2 judges will come from the list by party 2, and 7 from the list of candidates from party 3. Of course, if there are some candidates who have such a good reputation that they are even preferred over the own candidates, it is possible that the party 3 prefers to vote for a judge from the list of candidates proposed by party 1. I hope that's an answer to your question? Sincerely --SvenAERTS (talk) 22:44, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

Congratulations!

Congratulations on your appointment to the court Sven! Is it enjoyable work? I once voted for the Green party here in Ireland, but have since not voted again. What may interest you is I recently added a section quoting the OECD on the nuclear power page that may answer some of the initial Uranium resources questions you previously had.

I also added a section to the Life-cycle greenhouse-gas emissions of energy sources on the amount of CO2 emitted from nuclear power plants, that you might also find illuminating. Another document that I found particularly insightful was the ExternE pol studies conducted by the EU in partnership with the university of Stuttgart, it objectively analyzed all scalable energy sources and their impact on the environment. http://www.externe.info/externe_d7/

Having looked at your linkedin.com page I feel compelled to agree with you, in regards to the policy of expanding the use of all environmental and economically conscience technologies. I have helped review designs of local farmers plug type anaerobic digestors/biogas generators for agriculture in the past(all design and priming, no messy hands on work thankfully!) and we should endeavour to cut down on waste at every opportunity, but only when it's safe and economical to do so. Sadly however, there have been a number of deaths from falling into anaerobic/biogas pits here in Ireland, and for the energy produced, these deaths should have been entirely avoidable by using safer more reliable technologies, such as Wind and Nuclear power, I have since lost interest in helping review biogas plant design for this reason. As the farmers were not willing to fit the necessary safety equipment, because it would have cost them too much(A point that I agree with in part) What got you interested in nuclear power?

@Boundarylayer The whole discussion on the energy mix. In the European Union there we have a portal site where all the federation of energy technology providers and governmental research institutes come together and put the ball mark figures for their sector: https://setis.ec.europa.eu Also, I did my dissertation in the governmental research institute of the Belgian government / Flanders, where also the Belgian research institute on nuclear energy is hosted. I had the privilege having lunch and becoming friends with some of the "old generation" who were into nuclear power. These guys had a very "hippy"mentality. They really believed they had found eternal / cheap energy for all. A lot of the "Green" technologies were invented as spin-outs by those teams. E.g. imagine you have near to free abundant energy: why not put some in the ground layers some hundreds of meters below and pump it up again in winter? You could have greenhouses producing food just about everywhere in cold climates. Anyway, I ran into some discussions that with all the hunger for energy, and all the intentions to build nuclear power plants in China, India, Turkey, you name it, that there would not be enough nuclear fission material. So I was trying to find more info on how much uranium / yellow cake reserve there is on our planet and how fast we would burn through it, so to speak. I had hoped there would be more on it here on the wikipedia, but alas, nothing. :) I'll have to wait another couple of months or years. I only get into this tangentially professionally. I just know enough to know that the energy issue is worth a whole Directorate General in the EU and that it is a full time job to follow things, keep the ball mark figures in mind etc. I don't have that time. I'm into energy stuff, but another sub-section. :) --SvenAERTS (talk) 23:01, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

Economical reserves of Uranium, essentially limitless

Hello again, I was reading up on the economical uranium supply and learned of the leaps and bounds being made at economically extracting uranium from sea water made in the last few years. To find out more have a look at the references over at - Peak uranium

An appraisal of nuclear power by a team at MIT in 2003, and updated in 2009, have stated that:

Most commentators conclude that a half century of unimpeded growth is possible, especially since resources costing several hundred dollars per kilogram (not estimated in the Red Book) would also be economically usable...We believe that the world-wide supply of uranium ore is sufficient to fuel the deployment of 1000 reactors over the next half century.

OLPC in Afghanistan

Hi, I've tried to adjust your addition to the Afghanistan page to bring more in line with wikipedia policies, and to not appear to be criticizing the government by saying that people are needed to write letters to pressure them. I haven't been able to find direct support for the statements that you made in the citation about 5000 laptops and the anonymous donor, so could you please point to those more explicitly (perhaps on my talk page)? It also isn't clear to me whether the http://wiki.laptop.org site is one that anyone, even someone such as me, could edit; if it is, then it may be necessary (to avoid having the wikipedia information deleted) to get other sources as well, even simple newspaper articles. In fact, it would be good in any case to include something from independent sources. Best wishes, Sminthopsis84 (talk) 16:37, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi again. Thanks for replying on my talk page. The answer to your question about how would I would ever know is that I could remember to look at your talk page again a bit later to see if you had replied,

with the tens of things I am doing, I wouldn't be able to remember where I've been contributing or not. I'm not as smart as you. I need another solution.

or you could use one of the templates here that send a notification, such as {{ping|Sminthopsis84}}.

Aha ! I'm checking all the buttons in the edit mode, but can't actually find one that helps further an exchange like ours between 2 contributors. Am I missing something / a button? Ah found the nowiki button. Let's see what that does: ping|SvenAERTS

I've added a direct link to the video. That's a sad story that the success of the initial project was unassessed because of the conflict. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 11:59, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Well, you're contributing by helping me with the paragraph. But to second your reflection: Wouldn't it be so much more helpful if these presidents / ministers of education / military would answer why they don't want/can't invest 135€/xo laptop 30 €/PV panel=165 €/laptopschool. 7 yrs average life time = 23€/yrs.kid. The XO can carry 1000 ebooks, and the touch screen and trackpad are a substitute for paper. So you have ALL the books of a whole school career on every XO and hundreds of other useful books, e.g. on how to repair a bike, how to make a more efficient stove, use a car electricity generator to generate electricity via a little river, books on hygiene, etc. all that stuff is often made and available on websites of UNICEF, EuropAid, USAid, etc. 23€/yrs.kid = a couple of these big bullets, they're firing by the hundreds. Anyway.

P.S.: if you are in contact with people at the OLPC wiki, you might mention that this page is sadly misleading, and OLPC XO-3 gets its information from there. It says that the XO-3 was cancelled, but there is apparently something called the XO tablet that is mass produced, as mentioned here and particularly here. It would be good to get pointers to the current model on these pages, rather than just "The XO-3 is a tablet by OLPC that was cancelled in late 2012.[1] The next planned OLPC hardware release is the XO-4 laptop, a successor to the XO-1.75 and due in 2013." Sminthopsis84 (talk) 13:12, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

I agree. I've added this to the reference:

" The tablet idea was not abandoned but taken further in another constellation. The tablet you now see that is promoted by olpc is this one: http://one.laptop.org/about/xo-tablet

"

So these kids in Afghanistan, they have regular XO-laptops.

ping? :)

) Yes, they have regular XO-laptops. They are mentioned in http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Afghanistan ping|SvenAERTS --SvenAERTS (talk) 00:25, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

So about wikipedia tricks: I have added your talk page to my watch list. Actually, I have set an option in Preferences (under the Watchlist tab) that every page I edit is automatically added to my watch list (then I have to take some of them off, or it becomes unmanageable). Sorry that my explanation of ping was inadequate. Have a look at Template:Reply to (which also goes by the name ping) and Wikipedia:Templates. Mostly, I think we learn these things by having seen them used somewhere, so learning speeds up as time goes on.

About the XO tablet, I've added some material at OLPC XO-1#XO Tablet, and added a redirect so that you can get there from XO tablet. I've also changed OLPC_XO-3 so that it the XO-4, which also ended, doesn't seem to be the only successor. (By the way, I mentioned this to a computer science professor that I know, who said that he believed that OLPC had lost momentum and been bypassed by the technology, so it seems quite important to make these little corrections in wikipedia.)

Education in haiti

Greetings. Just a brief comment to thank you for your contributions to WP, and to call your attention to potential spam in your latest changes. Please, take a look at these two links: WP:SPAM and WP:ES, and let me know if you have questions. I would like to work with you in improving Haitian articles. Thanks. Caballero/Historiador ^⎌ 16:23, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi User:Caballero1967 - no, I don't really see any spam issue. We do need to insert a link to the page with the original info? That's all I did? --SvenAERTS (talk) 19:04, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

First of all, I want you to realize that I am being sincere when I say that I appreciate your contributions and your interest on this type of educational program. But the information you included here, at least, in the way you presented it, is not material for an encyclopedia (WP:NOT). Actually, it is tantamount to advocacy (WP:ADVOCACY). I noticed you have been through several pages and doing the same things, which meets the traits of spam (WP:SPAM). There might be an article where this might fit properly, but not on these ones, and not in the way you include it. Moreover, including new information about what an organization's work and then solely citing the organization's own page is not good practice either. An encyclopedia relies on independent sources (WP:RS) and would cite the organization's page only if it is strictly necessary (e.g. citing or referring to the information from the cite like mission statements). If you find an article where this information could fit properly, however, then the organization's page might go in the external links section, but only if it is directly relevant to the article. This is not the case in none of the articles you added such info. Please, let me know if this makes sense. I would gladly hear and weight your arguments.

Asbergers syndrome

That edit you made there was highly offensive and will be reported to administrators Xx C00l G$Y x#^t@lk 03:42, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Dear Xx C00l G$Y x#, I've made hundreds of edits in the Wikipedia. They are always constructive. You're the first one to attack me the way you do and for what? 1. For adding that the UN has a commemorative day on Autism on the commemorative day itself - which was my way of contributing to the stigma around Autism and is certainly something that has its place in the page here. 2. I've made the edit in presence of a friend who has been diagnosed with Asbergers syndrome and was very happily surprised I informed him of it. 3. I don't see how adding that the UN has a commemorative day for Autism can be "higly offensie" ? Please explain.

For all these reasons take down your complaint immediately. --SvenAERTS (talk) 05:21, 6 April 2016 (UTC) let me check my logs.--Xx C00l G$Y x#^t@lk 05:23, 6 April 2016 (UTC) Ok Your good sorry about that :-)--Xx C00l G$Y x#^t@lk 05:26, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited German colonial empire, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Nama and Herero. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Re: Import question

Hello, in this case since you created the redirect at "Earth Summits", it would probably be easiest to just translate the content on the French Wikipedia, replace the redirect with your translation, and use {{copied}} on the talk page of the new article to show where the text has come from.

See Also sections 1

Afternoon Sven, when adding "See Also" can you ensure the subject is not already linked within the document, and is not the name of the same article (i.e. don't link "Reparations" to "Reparations"). Koncorde (talk) 12:32, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Of course. Sorry missed that one. --SvenAERTS (talk) 13:16, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

See Also sections 2

Also, cutting and pasting the same "See Also"'s across several subjects as you did introduced a lot of duplicated or unrelated topics. War and Holocaust issues are distinct from Slavery, conflating the two is problematic.

War and Holocaust issues are distinct from Slavery of course, yet they share a common issue: reparation. The "See also" section is not the place to put these then? How about categories? Sincerely --SvenAERTS (talk) 13:16, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Linking to "reparation" and a category of reparation or similar is appropriate and I would expect all forms of reparation to be included within such a category if it existed, as all related matters should be associated with the category. The See also section is great for bringing in topics that could be within the main body, but didn't fit the topic enough to do so. So WW2 and WW1 is a good link, as would be similar post war reparations or outcomes of reparations. However slavery has a very distinct topic (it tends to be economic or social), I would say something like the Japanese use of POW and Comfort Women for instance would be a rare occasion where the two were linked vaguely. Koncorde (talk) 13:40, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

@Koncorde : As per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Contents/Categories "Categories (along with other features like cross-references, lists, and infoboxes) help you to find information, even if you don't know what exists or what it's called." I'd interpret that as being more tolerant towards the use of categories and the "See Also" section. Reparation is at the center of 2 decades we are living in 1: 2011-2020 http://www.un.org/en/decolonization/thirdinternatldecade.shtml and 2: 2015-2025 www.un.org/en/events/africandescentdecade/ . People are looking for arguments used in similar cases - s.a. the reparations the Holocaust victims won, the reparations by WWI and WWII victims/states. I'm involved in these issues as a judge here at the Brussels Court, so I know. So please put back my links and categories. SincerelySvenAERTS (talk) 13:57, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Please see WP:INVOLVED then please. I have not removed all your additions, only those that do not align with the purpose of See Also. I am sure there are plenty of categories that are applicable, or other See Also, but not the ones I have removed (which is likely why they were not there previously). Koncorde (talk) 17:18, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

See Also sections 3

Political Correctness is not related to reparations. One is a legal resort, the other something approached in terms of language to prevent disenfranchisement. Koncorde (talk) 12:32, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Political Correctness is not the same as but is related to reparations: reparations are one of the characteristics to determine Political Correctness, so that's why I think it is appropriate to link both via the "See also" section. Is the "See also" is not the place to put these then? How about categories? Sincerely --SvenAERTS (talk) 13:16, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Reparations are the (usually) financial compensations for some act. Political Correctness is not about reparations, and in fact requires no actions to have taken place (it's about language and social constructs). I would say something like Affirmative Action is the only element even close to being associated with reparations (but we should be careful with linking stuff like Holocaust with Affirmative Action).

Diannaa Corruption article: Again a copyright violation?

Hi D, things are not well. Now I get a message from you that you'll permanently block me - last warning etc.

1. 1. I try my best when I'm helping to improve articles. E.g. I document my changes just about always - here too: "Added numbers of the size of the corruption problem and link to the 9 december observance day of anti-corruption)". The article states "This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it." Adding a number on the size of corruption didn't seem like a bad idea. You erased it. Including where the number came from: the UN Anti Corruption unit. Quoting is ok - I read the guidelines on quoted. Where did I go wrong?

1. 2. When I want to check out what I did wrong, I couldn't see it anymore because you deleted my 730 character changes:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Corruption&direction=prev&oldid=791520750

I remember the article stating "This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it." I'm a judge at the Brussels Court. I'm working with the UN on #GlobalGoals16 Peace & Justice, so I know something about fighting corruption. I just added the estimated numbers on the size of corruption from the page . I understand you have to write stuff in your own words, but on the same time it is ok to quote according to the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Quotations. I think I do rephrase things, I understand it is ok to do quotes, and here in the article on corruption the part that I quoted could be considered minor as the article is long enough: I only added 730 characters in total . What happened to the wikipedia guideline of ""Be polite, and welcoming to new users", "Assume good faith"? As someone who has 500 edits on wikipedia, I feel being bullied and threatened rather than helped. So can you mail me the changes so I can go over them again to learn from my mistakes?

1. 3. Finally, I just added a link to the World Anti-Corruption day. What can be wrong with that? I mean, the wikipedia article on corruption has no link to the UN World Anti-Corruption day? Come on. You could at least leave that?

Sincerely & Peace - though I don't feel it coming from your side anymore, from Brussels --SvenAERTS (talk) 00:17, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi SvenAERTS. Your addition was flagged by a bot as a potential copyright violation and was assessed by myself. Here is a link to the bot report. Click on the iThenticate link to view the overlap. The material that I removed was 79 words copied verbatim from a copyright web page elsewhere on the Internet, without quotation marks to indicate that it was a direct quote. That's a copyright violation. Quoting this passage is not a good alternative, because it could easily be re-written into copyright-compliant prose. I have restored the part about the anti-corruption day, as that part was not copied. It looks like I removed a little too much; sorry about that. — Diannaa (talk) 13:15, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

Your account was created in 2006 – you've been editing here for over ten years and have nearly a thousand edits – it's not unreasonable for me to expect you to have familiarized yourself with our policies, especially one as important as copyright, which has legal implications both for yourself and for the website as a whole. You've received at least four warnings about copyright: February 2016, July 8, 2017, July 10, 2017, and July 20, 2017. Prose you find online is almost always copyright, and cannot be copied here; it's against the law to do so. There's more information about copyrights and how it applies to Wikipedia at Wikipedia:FAQ/Copyright. Copyright law and its application are complex matters, and you should not edit any more until you have taken the time to read and understand our copyright policy. Further copyright violations will result in you being blocked from editing. — Diannaa (talk) 13:15, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

Seryozha Aleshkov

Seryozha Aleshkov is famous for carrying the title of the youngest soldier who participated in the Battle of Stalingrad. He's often portrayed in his little military uniform at the age of 6 years in 1942. During a fight, he saved the life of a regimental commander and was rewarded the for combat service for his courage and bravery. His example continous to inspire numerous people today. Little Sergey was found walking in the forest by Soviet troops and got adopted by one of the officers. During battles he helped with bringing ammunition. Later he became wounded during Stalingrad battle and sent to hospital. He never went back to the fields of war. When he grew up, he became a lawyer. Sergey died in 1990, one year before Soviet Union collapsed. This is an assist for a kick-start article. I couldn't find one.

Uranium ore

Estimates of Available Uranium-235, an isotope required for the present world fleet of light water reactors, that is, not the uranium-238 feedstock needed for some breeder reactor designs, one of which was discussed above. Available U-235 estimates depend on what ore resources are included in the simple extrapolations. The squares represent relative sizes of different estimates, whereas the numbers at the lower edge give an estimate on how long the given resource would last at present U-235 consumption rates, a consumption rate based upon the unrealistic assumption that old LWR generation II reactors will still be operating after their lifetimes are up, 30 years from now, and that no Generation III reactors or generation IV reactors replace these less efficient reactors.
██ Reserves in current mines
██ Known economic reserves, a figure that has increased from 80 to over 100 years after this estimate was made in 2005.
██ Conventional undiscovered resources
██ Total ore resources at 2004 prices
██ Unconventional resources (at least 4 billion tons, could last for millennia)

Hey man, thanks for the reply...some crazy years later.

You're looking for information that changes all the time as new mines are discovered but check out the page I wrote [Nuclear power proposed as renewable energy-Fuel supply]. I think the type of information you're after is there, make sure to let me know on my talk page if it is?

& hey don't forget about the Irish people when you end up working for the evil-Eurocrats! :-)

Speedy deletion nomination of Jo Garcia

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Jo Garcia 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 real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Your contributed article, Multigenerational legacies of trauma

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Multigenerational legacies of trauma. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Transgenerational trauma. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Transgenerational trauma. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. DGG ( talk ) 17:16, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Jo GARCIA

Hello, SvenAERTS. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Jo GARCIA".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. DannyS712 (talk) 08:54, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

Categorization problems

I reverted the categories that you added to Learning styles because the categories implied that Learning styles is software, but clearly Learning styles is not software.

Then I looked at your other recent edits, and I am also reverting the categories that you added to Epistemology and Formal fallacy because it appears that you are overcategorizing (WP:OVERCAT) and not thinking carefully enough about the existing placement of the articles in subcategories. Per WP:CAT, articles generally do not go in a parent category when they are already in a subcategory. For example, Epistemology is already in Category:Epistemology which is a subcategory of Category:Philosophy via Category:Branches of philosophy‎, so it is not correct to put Epistemology in Category:Philosophy.

Dates

Common Era (CE) is a method used to identify a year. It means "a year in our time" (rather than a year for a very long time ago). It is the system for recording dates used almost everywhere around the world today: it is in common use. Cheers Theroadislong (talk) 15:22, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

Use of help templates

In a number of your recent uses of the {{help}} template, it seems that you are using the template in an inappropriate way, that is, not as a way to ask for help in how to edit Wikipedia. Further, some of your talk page entries seemed to verge on trying to use the page as a forum with the help template intended to attract attention of interested editors to a suggestion or query about a topic. Perhaps one of these would have been a proper discussion to hold on a WikiProject talk page, where less specific suggestions can be entertained; suggestions for new content on article talk pages should by quite specific, even if they are not entirely ready to insert into the article verbatim. There is also the Teahouse and the reference desk for more question and answer when an article talk page does not seem to be getting attention.

I hope you are finding your Wikipedia editing to be a satisfying and engaging activity. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 21:11, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

@user:jmcgnh| - Ah, so the help template is not for asking help to improve an article's content but only to ask help with editing & style features? Thy SvenAERTS (talk) 04:58, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

SvenAERTS, Well, that's a rather alarmist interpretation, but roughly speaking, yes. This aspect of the help template is not particularly well documented, but the template documentation does instruct you to use it on your own user talk page.

The restriction on using it for editing help as opposed to content suggestions is, I think, to direct the limited resources of admins and other helpers at IRC, who monitor the use of this template, to places where the help needed is about "how to edit". Discussions about content are extremely common and attaching the help template to every one of them would exhaust the helpers. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 07:47, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

@Jmcgnh: Makes sense. People interested in an article can subscribe to the talk page of the article and that's where a dynamic and speed-up can and should develop, right? Every article team of enthusiasts just have to find a way to promote popularity of their article and draw specialists to it, supported by the overal marketing of supporting the wikipedia to knowledgeable people, right? Well, wherever I go, including my work at universities, I do promote documenting research on the wikipedia. Thx for the chat. SvenAERTS (talk) 06:14, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

I turned off GoogleTrans when editing a page

Hi there,

Thanks for your email on this matter. I just turned off GoogleTrans when you are editing a page.

This seemed like the thing to do.

Please tell me if this is working for you, and if there are any unintended consequences to this small change Endo999 (talk) 04:23, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi Endo, ah good you received the screenshots I've sent in our email exchange.

Yes, I turned it off in my page preferences/gadgets. That seems to be doing the trick.

When you write "I just turned off GoogleTrans when you are editing a page.", - you mean for you, right? Or did you change something in the coding of the gadget?

And of course I'll keep an eye if I see any unintended consequences.

Cheers, SvenAERTS (talk) 12:19, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

HB Antwerp

Hi there SvenAERTS, it's nice to meet you. I've been working on a draft for HB Antwerp, a sustainable diamond company based in Belgium which is currently mentioned in the Sewelo article. As a member of WP:MINING, I thought you might be interested in taking a look. Recent discussions have indicated that not all of the sources are easy to access, so I'm including the cached links to the relevant articles here as well for your convenience: [[1]][[2]] and [[3]]. Would greatly appreciate your feedback, and if you think it's ready to be included, feel free to move it to mainspace. Please note that I will be offline for a few days, so it may take me a little while to respond. Thanks again, Margxx (talk) 09:01, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi Margxx thy for contacting me - interesting article and reads :) give me a sign via http://www.linkedin.com/in/svenaerts ? ... and enjoy the holiday season :) SvenAERTS (talk) 22:37, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

SvenAERTS, thanks for getting back to me! I hope you too are enjoying your summer. I've been told that it's best to keep all discussion on Wikipedia itself for transparency, but would be happy to chat further if you have any questions or suggestions. What did you think of the draft? Does it seem ready for inclusion given the sources? Thanks again for your time! Margxx (talk) 08:48, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

yes - publish it.

I thought you knew about me because I've also been in contact with the Antwerp World Diamond Capital to make a CO2e certificate from reforestation of empty mines for example. Cheers :) SvenAERTS (talk) 13:30, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Oh, what a funny coincidence, I had no idea! My name is Margaux, it's very nice to meet you. Feel free to connect on LinkedIn as well, if you'd like.

I'm glad you think the draft looks ready, that's very exciting- I've been working on it for a few months now. I've been told that I should not publish it myself due to my conflict of interest, but if you'd be willing to move it to mainspace, that would be acceptable to the community.

Thanks so much for your help with this! Really appreciate it. Margxx (talk) 18:39, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis into Synesthesia. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 14:23, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi Dan, ok - thy - learned something new. I saw that you added the edit summary already. If I understand well, I could have just opened the article's summary and edit the comment I left prior to saving the changes? Ah, no - that's not possible. Wait, how did you do that? :) SvenAERTS (talk) 21:07, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

The {{copied}} template on the talk page is good practice, but the edit summary part is the only part that's required in this, and it's pretty simple – next time you copy text from one article to another, just use an edit summary like the sample one above. You can't go back and edit previous edit summaries, but in this case I made a dummy edit where I made a super minor change (that doesn't actually affect anything in the article) for the purposes of leaving that additional edit summary. Thanks, DanCherek (talk) 12:14, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

ok got it Thx ! :) SvenAERTS (talk) 00:51, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello there!

Hi, I noticed your recent minor edit to Indo-European languages, and I just thought you might find it interesting that barely more than a century ago, they were essentially the same field, where writing and speech were both equally parts of it—we often credit the Brothers Grimm as pioneers in comparative linguistics, but they were mostly doing philology, that's what they called it, it was a very German field. The English and French sort of split linguistics as we understand it off in the late 1910s and 20s, Ferdinand de Saussure is the poster child of that.

Sorry for the totally unsolicited infodump, I just mean to say that—when you said you weren't sure of the difference between philology and linguistics, no one was until pretty recently! I'm still not quite sure that I know the difference. Remsense诉 10:05, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
