Disambiguation link notification for October 1

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Arrhenius equation, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Reciprocal. 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.

Proposed deletion of The 11foot8 Bridge

The article The 11foot8 Bridge has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable bridge.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. reddogsix (talk) 03:51, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

Attribution when copying within WP

Hi Comfr. Thanks for adding the synthesis information to Pethidine. Please have a look at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia - when you do that, it is important to attribute appropriately in an edit note. I took care of that for you, but it is best when the person doing the copying does it. (Translation makes it a derivative work, and you still need to attribute) Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 19:35, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Quoin (printing)

Dear User:Comfr, congratulations on creating Quoin (printing). I have added a reference to the article for you, as well as an image. I would encourage you to add more information and references to the article. Have a great day! All the best, Anupam^Talk 22:47, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

Universal Numbering System

This edit: [1]. I don't understand your point. Which chart is the "chart to the left" that it's left and right correspond to doctor's left and right? As I can see every chart (table) and also the image (image of open mouth, it's visible on the right margin) are positioned the same way and patient's right teeth are located in the left part of table and image, too. Kaligula (talk) 17:42, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for quick reply and quick fix :) In the picture there are no designations (left or right) so the paragraph (IMO) can be somewhat misleading, compared to the description under the image. I prefered the previous state (before your changes), when the paragraph stated only about the charts below (but not the image) and the description under image described only image. But - as you prefer. Kaligula (talk) 21:50, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

Maybe The charts below represent "doctor's view", so patient's left teeth are listed on the right side of each chart; and right ones are on the left side.? If you agree feel free to edit the article. Kaligula (talk) 20:47, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

Well, I have to admit that this edit is outstanding! :D The only thing I could think of wondering if to have anything against is the title of your section – but eventually I would leave it as is :) Thank you very much for your patience! I wish you luck in future edits :) Bye Kaligula (talk) 22:47, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Dodi 8238.

Non-free use rationale and licensing information for File:Weathered condition of Digital DNA as it appeared in public in 2017.jpg

I recently edited the page for this photo in order to improve and expand the non-free use rationale. In addition, from what I can tell, the photo itself is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0, so I used the {{Photo of art}} license tag to differentiate the licensing of the photo itself versus the licensing of the depicted sculpture. I hope this is correct. --Elegie (talk) 15:33, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

Maryland shooting

Early reports often inaccurate. I.e, the 14-yr-old boy, hit in the thigh, according to witnesses, was surprised he'd been hit. It was like when non gang members a ways back from the scene have been hit by stray fire when gangs do drivebys on each other. How do we know whose bullet hit this 14-y-o the perp's or the officer's?

Hello, from the Portals WikiProject...

You are invited to join the effort to revitalize and improve the Portal system...

The Portals WikiProject was rebooted on April 17th, and is going strong. Fifty-nine editors have joined so far, with more joining daily.

We're having a blast, and excitement is high...

Our goal is to update, upgrade, and maintain portals.

In addition to working directly on portals, we are developing tools to make portals more dynamic (self-updating), and to make building and maintaining portals easier. We've finished two tools so far, with more to come. They are Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.

Discussions are underway about how to further upgrade portals, and what the portals of the future will be.

There are plenty of tasks (including WikiGnome tasks too).

With more to come.

We may even surprise ourselves and exceed all expectations. Who knows what we will be able to accomplish in what may become the biggest Wikicollaboration in years.

See ya at the WikiProject!

Sincerely,    — The Transhumanist   23:59, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of TheShop.Build

Hello, Comfr. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, TheShop.Build, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

1. edit the page
2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Disambiguation pages are for directing readers to the article they are actually looking for. Every single entry must have a blue link (existing article) that actually mentions what the subject of the disambiguation page is. In this case ICT. If it is a notable subject then write the article about it or include the ICT thing in another applicable article. Do not keep adding it without doing those things. What you are doing is disruptive. ~ GB fan 21:21, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

Nomination of Jonelle Matthews for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Jonelle Matthews is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jonelle Matthews until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

An article you recently created, Heinz Raether, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia).

Orphaned non-free image File:Bridge11foot8.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Bridge11foot8.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:31, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Bridge11foot8.png

Thanks for uploading File:Bridge11foot8.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. DMacks (talk) 06:24, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

There are some 24 published reviews of Weapons of Math Destruction listed among its references.

Scott Peterson

Hi. I have reverted your addition of a Failed Verification tag to the Scott Peterson article, because I double-checked the cited San Francisco Chronicle article, and it indeed contains the quote in question. Thank you. Nightscream (talk) 20:05, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

Please stop removing citations and other material from the Scott Peterson article wihtout a valid reason, as you did with this edit. The reason that Citation #5 in the article (which is of this San Francisco Chronicle article) was placed in the middle of the first sentence of the paragraph that begins Peterson's conviction being upheld by the Supreme Court of CA was placed there because that's the source from which that information came from. By removing it, you created the appearance that the next citation, which is of this East Bay Times article, supports that information, when it makes no mention of that.

Conversely, by placing that Chronicle citation instead at the end of the passage that first mentions the rationale for this (that jurors had been dismissed jurors without beasked if they could put aside their views on the death penalty), you give the passage that that citation is the sole one from which that information is derived, which is not the case, as Citations121 and 122 also support it, which is why all three were properly grouped together at the end of that following passage.

If you had a valid rationale for this, then please mention it in your edit summary. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 01:47, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of WateReuse

The article WateReuse has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No worries I would have thought that Cesium Telluride follows the conventional naming of inorganic compounds but Chemspider is a pretty good source, Couldn't find a CAS number though..anyway thanks for your kind words and keep up the good work. Hughesdarren (talk) 04:31, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

I added a chembox and a few properties. Please let me know if I have made any other mistakes. Comfr (talk) 06:18, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Maker Nexus

I reverted your edit to Maker Nexus because the subject is not notable. Chris Troutman (talk) 18:57, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi @User:Chris troutman, Thanks for new page patrolling, but I created this article less than 10 minutes ago, and I am continuing to work on the article. I have two more references from local newspapers, which have editorial control. Comfr (talk) 19:02, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Ok; I'll wait a couple days. Please label the article {{Under construction}}. Chris Troutman (talk) 20:05, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Injector

You asked here

After passing through the convergent "combining cone", the mixed fluid is fully condensed, releasing the latent heat of evaporation of the steam which imparts extra velocity to the water^[how?].

A good question: the answer is that it doesn't. As the steam condenses, its density increases enormously and the velocity of the mixture reduces! This causes an increase in pressure. All this happens upstream of the combining cone. (The latent heat is irrelevant, indeed a nuisance if the feedwater is too warm).

(I'm not sure if Kneass explains the working in this way).
