Transponder

I could use your help editing one word in the entry for the film No Country for Old Men. There is a device called a 'transponder' that appears in the movie. I'm not sure if both the signal sender and the signal receiver should both be transponders.

Do you know?

Ring Cinema (talk) 05:04, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. It's a hard question for me.

Sailplane edits

I'd like to clarify with you so we don't get into an edit battle regarding spoilers on sailplanes. To clarify my position, I have a couple thousand hours of glider time, mostly instructing. I believe spoilers are only mounted on the top of the wing with a primary function to spoil lift across a section of wing and provide only minimal drag. A Schweizer 2-22 has only spoilers. Just a piece of aluminum that hinged at the front that tips up to spoil the lift with hardly any drag. Dive brakes, on the other hand, protrude enough into the airstream to provide drag as well as spoil the lift. Dive brakes can protrude just from the top also acting as spoilers. Or they can also protrude from the bottom. A 2-33 had dive brakes with only a spoiler on top (like the 2-22) but with another 'board' hinged at the rear and protruding out the bottom. Also, 'terminal dive brake' is a correct term though I suppose they should be called "terminal velocity dive brakes" and should not be deleted. The 1-34 has terminal dive brakes. See http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Schweizer_SGS_1-34 and http://www.skysailing.com/pages/theory.htm "Glide Path and Speed Controls" as a reference.

Let me know if you want to revert part of your edits or if you want me to.

AAH

Vernix caseosa was predicted in other aquatic mammals and found. JMcC (talk) 14:09, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Was this a prediction made because of the AAH? I don't think we can use a 2005 BBC audio play-back as proof of this, we need something published.

How about a new section after "Criticisms" Proof of the AAH - Almost no proof of the AAH has been presented and little can be expected; as Morgan says, it would be very difficult to look at the fossilised skeletons of an otter and a stoat and establish that one of them was aquatic.(p.174 of Scars) And theories need to make predictions to be of interest; it was already known that the Rift Valley fossil sites were wetter than today and that Lucy's almost complete skeleton was found amongst the remains of crocodile eggs, turtle eggs and crab claws. In 1985 a revisit of the Taung baby site concluded that it had been humid, not arid as it is today.(p.18 of Scars) Elaine Morgan might have predicted such findings, but wasn't asked, paleoanthropologists still work the same as if there was no AAH. MalcolmMcDonald (talk) 14:34, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Yes though it was the Attenborough and the BBC that initiated it. OK, add the section if you like, though there is a risk that the article becomes a debating forum, as it has before. The odd thing about fossilisation is that it often happens in sedimentary rocks and so almost everything looks aquatic! JMcC (talk) 16:07, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

I think we must have this in a written form somewhere before we can consider using it. MalcolmMcDonald (talk) 16:11, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

As a member of the Aviation WikiProject or one of its subprojects, you may be interested in testing your skills in the Aviation Contest! I created this contest, not to pit editor against editor, but to promote article improvement and project participation and camraderie. Hopefully you will agree with its usefulness. Sign up here, read up on the rules here, and discuss the contest here. The first round of the contest may not start until September 1st-unless a large number of editors signup and are ready to compete immediately! Since this contest is just beginning, please give feedback here, or let me know what you think on my talkpage. - Trevor MacInnis ^contribs 00:52, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

PROD on User:JamesBWatson/Alice Liddell

I see you have placed a PROD template on this page, with the reason "An unnecessary duplication by a new user. The main Alice Liddell article still exists". I agree that the page should go, and I have blanked it and requested a speedy delete under CSD U1. My original reason for creating this page no longer applies, so thank you for prompting me to deal with it. However, I thought it might be helpful to mention that "only articles, lists, and disambiguation pages may be deleted using the Proposed deletion process" (quoted from WP:PROD); it does not apply to a userspace page. Also I am not sure I qualify as a "new user", having been here since 1 August 2006. JamesBWatson (talk) 10:31, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

And Did Those Feet in Ancient Time.

I would welcome your advice. You joined in the discussion on Satanic Mills in the above article.

In the setion Dark Satanic Mills Cygnis Insignis keeps censoring the fact that one view of their meaning is the Church of England. I could simply revert again. But it seems childish

I have replied to him in discussion but to no avail. I would welcome your advice on how to avoid an edit war. Brixtonboy (talk) 23:02, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Is the onus on me to disprove accusations of censorship, POV pushing, vandalising or "instigating Edit Wars"? I will if you give this stratagem your tacit endorsement. Do you think the revision history and talk page will support Brixtonboy's version of who said and did what? Assume, if only for a moment, that these unverified accusations are the antithesis of my approach to editing and review the situation again. cygnis insignis 09:12, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

HI Jmcc150,

Is there a problem with using the convert template; you reverted just one of the instances that I added to the article? Your edit summary didn't quite make sense to me. Bleakcomb (talk) 13:00, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

I am not sure we are talking on the same frequency? Seeing that you have no problem with the use of the convert template, I have reverted your edit to put it back in. Thanks. Bleakcomb (talk) 01:10, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Pandy

I think youhave misunderstood my request. Pandy is the Welsh for fulling mill, so that the article on fulling mills should be there. There already is a disambiguation page Pandy (disambiguation). What I am proposing is that that page should be renamed to Pandy. This will mean that the article deals with these places, which is I suspectwhat you are wanting.

Thanks

Hello Jmcc150. Thank you for your edit here [1] that corrected the title of the music. I was just listening to that song on the Delerue Music from the films of Truffaut CD last night. I thought that was an interesting coincidence so I wanted to take the time to say thanks. Cheers and happy editing. MarnetteD | Talk 19:29, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi again. Thanks for your note. I find that very first ep of An Unearthly Child a remarkable piece of TV sci fi. Even all these years later it is fascinating. Those who saw it originally must have wondered what they had just experienced. Katy M is a treat. In her DVD commentary for the last ep of The Green Death she is almost in tears remembering how special her time on the show was. I don't know if you've ever seen Life Story. It makes the story of the discovery of the structure of DNA very exciting. The Delarue music is used twice. Once in the scene where Crick and Watson are showing their colleagues the finished model of DNA and again at the end of the film where it is played during the closing credits. I have never been able to tell for sure but I think that they recorded a new version of the song rather then just using the one from Day For Night. Though I could be wrong about this the play time seems longer - especially the time it is played at the end of the film - and is played at a slightly slower speed. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find it on DVD and my tape is getting older. Back in '06 it accompanied a set of film clips during the Academy Awards telecast and it was this thread at IMDb [2] that lead me to the CD. Cheers. MarnetteD | Talk 04:04, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Delerue Update. You may have already seen this but I wanted to let you know that "Le Grand Choral" is used at a couple of points in the recent stop motion animation film Fantastic Mr. Fox. Now this film may not be the kind of thing that you enjoy but I wanted to let you know about it anyway. Also, I enjoyed the the Ron Grainer quote about Delia Derbyshire and his Dr Who theme. There is a brief but nice tribute to him on the DVD set for the series Flickers. If you haven't seen it I can't recommend this series highly enough. It is about the early days of films and features Bob Hoskins and Frances de la Tour (who are marvelous together) and aired in 1980. Wikipedia does not have a page for it and even Imdb's page [3] is lacking in detail, including the fact that Grainer wrote the music for it. Hope you are well and cheers.

Personally, I don't have e-mail settings in my preferences since I'm very private with things like e-mail addresses. Even if I wasn't, I haven't had working e-mail from a provider since upgrading to broadband anyway. There are two other ways I can think of to do this. One is to make a copy of the article in your userspace, and I can come in and add tags; if this is your choice, see WP:CWW to check what attribution will be required. The other is for me to list where cites are needed on the FAR page. Please tell me which you would prefer. Sorry I can't be of more help on the e-mail front. Oh, and the extra code was in reference 56, not 55. My mistake. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 16:27, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 05:45, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

I am genuinely surprised by your response. It was not my intention to be aggressive and I still find it hard to see anything that contravenes WP guidelines. As I said it was just curiosity. I honestly thought that things had moved on and that zapping all unreferenced material in living biographies was now official policy. It seemed a shame and so I wrote.

NSRW on Birkenhead

Re: "Birkenhead" . The New Student's Reference Work . 1914. and "I don't see why a link is needed to an obscure reference work that does add any additional information."

It is a different point of view, from the U.S. 100 years ago. How it summarizes the information I think is interesting. There is an intermediate population figure which I don't see elsewhere. It is comforting that it confirms the trend noted in the History section. I don't think it is needed, but I think it is useful. The Wikisource 1911 Britannica has a Birkenhead article at this point (Encyclopædia Britannica (11th ed.). 1911. {{cite encyclopedia}}: Missing or empty |title= (help)). It is more elaborate, but it hasn't been proofread at this point, and I don't think it is ready for posting. And there is that big blank spot with no in-line links.

Speedy deletion nomination of Elizabeth Varley

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 Elizabeth Varley requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/1395970/Elizabeth-Varley.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 removed 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.

Deletion pending for File:LS40075.jpg

Hello, Jmcc150. Some time ago, a file you uploaded — File:LS40075.jpg — was tagged with {{OTRS pending}}, indicating that you (or perhaps the copyright holder if you did not create this image) submitted a statement of permission to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Though there is often a backlog processing messages received at this address, we should have received your message by now.

• If you have not submitted (or forwarded) a statement of permission, please send it immediately to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at the OTRS noticeboard that you have done so.

• If you have already sent this message, it is possible that there was a problem receiving it. Please re-send it to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at the OTRS noticeboard that you have done so.

If we don't hear from you within one week, the file will be deleted. If we can help you, please feel free to ask at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ninja Diannaa (Talk) 16:27, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Corgi.JPG

Thank you for uploading File:Corgi.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

ATTENTION: This is an automated, BOT-generated message. This bot DID NOT nominate your file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:00, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

August 2016

Hello! Thank you for your recent contributions to Schempp-Hirth Ventus 3. I did have one note for you. I am working on a maintenance project to clean up Category:Pages using infoboxes with thumbnail images. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this: |image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]], instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do: |image=SomeImage.jpg. There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!!

Auditory exostoses

Jmcc150, I'm trying to redraft the Aquatic ape hypothesis page and was checking the reference you added about them being found at Lake Ndutu near Olduvai. But looking at the book you cited, the only reference I can find in the Google version is on page 51, which is the section about the Ngandong12 specimen from Java. I don't have direct access to the book. Do you have a copy? If so, can you give me a page number for the reference to exostoses at Lake Ndutu. Chris55 (talk) 18:24, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply (on my page). I see that p159 of AAH talks of abnormalities "consistent with the diagnosis of external auditory canal exostoses". I'm not an expert so I can't tell whether that's a correct observation or not. But it certainly explains it. Chris55 (talk) 16:56, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

Probably / not probably

I was looking at the change to Birkenhead by the IP and thinking that while the edit summary was inaccurate, the change was actually not that bad.

Thermals

Before I re-instate my edit of the article that I took to featured status, may I ask you to state your qualifications as a glider pilot? There are places where the thermals will last for hours. May I suggest "flows"? My image of a bubble is a spherical object created by soap. JMcC (talk) 10:17, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

David writes: Thank you for asking. However, my qualifications as a pilot should be relatively irrelevant as I thought Wikipedia relied upon referenced materials like the related wikipedia article I referenced. In any case, I have nearly 1,500 hours of soaring in a dozen or so countries with hang gliders and gliders where thermals are a significant part of our flying phenomena. I teach advanced hang glider pilots how to soar thermals and in 1977 was the first pilot to teach leading Japanese pilots how to fly long distance, including their first formal use of thermals. I've even observed butterflies soaring a thermal bubble - not a stream (not yet published). (I see you are from UK, where I loved soaring Devil's Dyke !)

I can understand your concern when thinking of a spherical bubble shape as made by soap. Thermals are actually shaped much like a doughnut; a torus. However, pilots and aviation writers most commonly call them "bubbles."

The wikipedia Thermals article says it fairly well "Generally, when the air is cold, bubbles of warm air are formed by the ground heating the air above it and can rise like a hot air balloon." "Flows" can be accurate as can "streams" for well-developed specific (some would say excellent) conditions; and they can indeed last for hours. However, both terms ignore the majority of thermals which are bubbles that form, then pop off the ground and are fairly discrete and coherent - with no connection to subsequent bubbles formed from the same place.

An atomic bomb explosion is a weak example, but it it is useful by providing a dynamic visual depiction of how a thermal forms. The initial heat on the ground soon rises to make a mushroom cloud. Soon after the cloud becomes coherent and disconnects from its ground heated source. Even when normal solar-generated thermals are making streams or flows, they typically generate enough clouds that they cut off the solar radiation causing the thermals, until the clouds adequately dissipate and the cycle restarts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DDilworth (talk • contribs) 18:54, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Hang Gliding

Hi. You reverted one of my edits and I reverted it again. I've stated that Hang gliding is still Gliding.101.178.163.208 (talk) 06:36, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

If you look at the web-site of the governing body for air sports Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, you will see that there is a sport called Gliding, and another sport called Hang gliding. Gliding is a sport that uses sailplanes. Hang gliding uses foot-launched aircraft. These are quite distinct. They have their own championships at different places. The equivalent would be mixing Rugby League and Rugby Union in the same article even though they contain the same word, use the same ball and goal-posts. What links the sports, as well as other forms of flight, is that they involve Gliding flight. I think you are trying to show this link between the sports in the wrong article. You can see a comparison of the two types of aircraft in Glider (sailplane). I have been flying gliders for 36 years and I have written a book on the subject. Please acknowledge that there are people out there with more knowledge that you. The history on your talk page indicates that you find this difficult to accept. I have to preserve the quality of this featured article and so your reversion must be reverted. JMcC (talk) 08:52, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that there many people who know more than you and me. Thanks for that. You too need to acknowledge that people make good faith edits and that I was mistaken. I did take a look at the Gliding flight though. You are right; that article would be more appropriate and not the Gliding article. 101.178.163.208 (talk) 07:09, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
