I really like your topics, and the major edit or two I've checked, but the way you are editing in a series of "Peterdjones" has a cost that need not be bared. I'm not really sure if I have an actual complaint beyond this mention, but I am sure I'm writing to you in good personal reasoning.

The way I edit is preview alot, esp. near the aesthetic end-polish. But of greater importance is how I permit my browzer, through all manner of known constructive, destructive, and reconstructive computer-processes, to hold on for days unending, while others edit unbeknownst. I dislike edit conflicts, but I have actualized every type of possibility concerning the right kind of impact. — CpiralCpiral 18:28, 14 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Christmas beer

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Christmas beer, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Not a notable subject. Should be in the Beer page

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Is the Block universe theory the same as Eternalism (philosophy of time)

edit

Hello Peter. There has been a small dispute on the Eternalism talk page, which made its way to WP:AN3. Casting about for an experienced contributor who knew anything of these topics, I noticed you are the original creator of the redirect from Block universe to Eternalism. Is there any chance you could take a look at Talk:Eternalism (philosophy of time) and see if you could help sort this out? If you are too busy, no response is necessary. The dispute is apparently whether the block universe theory is the same as Eternalism. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 16:39, 2 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

I have heard of these things, since I am a highly experience wikipedia editor. I am also aware that lack of refs is not the same thing as OR, and I am aware that none of my material is novel, since I am also a highly experienced software developer.

Hi. Experienced developer you say? Well, I am Bill Gates himself, the best developer ever! See? Everyone can claim to be an experienced developer but the point is when you say "experienced developer", it means "I write from experience, not source" and that means original research.

Speedy deletion nomination of Fyfe Brewing Company

edit
 

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 Fyfe Brewing Company 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 an organization or company, but it does not 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 "Click here to 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

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. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 02:26, 13 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Intra-Wiki copying

edit

When copying text from one article to another, make sure to mention this in the edit-summary. Otherwise, it's a copyright-violation. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 16:19, 22 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Ah, I see that Diannaa also explained this to you, a few days ago... Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 16:21, 22 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
Please have a look at this edit summary as an example of how it is done. Please let me know if you still don't understand what to do or why we have to do it. Thanks, — Diannaa (talk) 11:30, 27 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

edit

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Self-refuting idea - request for input

edit

Hiya - you probably don't remember this, but you worked on Self-refuting idea back in 2007. One thing that stands out to me (that you pushed back against at the time) was the WP:FRINGE nature of the "Indirectly self-denying statements" section, which I have flagged. I feel it would be much better replaced by something like the self-stultification problem in epiphenomenalism (SEP link), but I'm sure there are plenty of other examples which would be more suitable too.

I just wanted to bring it to your attention in case you had some ideas of how to improve it, as I'm a bit rusty on my academic philosophy, unfortunately, so I'm not sure that I'd be able to do a particularly good job of it. Theknightwho (talk) 19:24, 31 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Platonia (philosophy)

edit
 

The article Platonia (philosophy) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No indication of importance or notability, just a concept in a popular science book

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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. - car chasm (talk) 07:39, 21 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Invitation to participate in a research

We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
