• 1b :I checked a couple of your edits, and many of them are indeed pointless and violating WP:MOS. Please get yourself acquainted with the rules before carrying out these kind of mass edits. Please use the WP:Sandbox for testing and not actual article pages. Thanks, Nageh (talk) 11:45, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Even worse, you are translating original-language book titles into English! What is going on in your mind? These are the actual titles. Nageh (talk) 11:48, 30 August 2011 (UTC) Argh, and you are even using machine translation! Nageh (talk) 11:50, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• 0bThere is locations somewhere in wikipedia which state the rules you refer to but somewhere else state also( or there-abouts)that these aren't absolute strict rules,

perhaps working outside these rules is helpful to some,(i.e. working from this second non-strict rules factor).

not really sure the edits to which your reference is made would be helpful if there were more details as to pointless comment so there could be some verification on my part,as there are a number of mistakes that have been made through tiredness which are in the large majority of edits rectified immediately,perhaps it was those to which the comment is made.Not read anywhere the criticism of pointlessness in wikipedia, surely a subjective/or personal judgement which isn't reflected elsewhere.(one man's meat is another man's murder)and scientific methodology doesn't support a small survey size(i.e.checked a couple of ) to great a conclusive opinion,would appreciate again your justification or opinion on this comment (as consensus is the rule)to arrive at a constructive and agreed conclusion.

The machine translations are to save time and did check the translation again once the article had been viewed,and Wikipedia is English language so the English version translation is a requirement.(c.f translating original-language book titles)Drift chambers (talk) 16:06, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• 1c :Ok, I will clarify what I meant by "pointless". Let's take these edits as an example. WP:MOS states that article titles and redirects to an article should be formatted in bold letters, not in italic as you changed it to. You changed an "and" into an "et" sign (&), which is discouraged by the MOS. Further below you moved the closing quotation mark towards the end of the first paragraph in the blockquote but it seems that the second paragraph would be part of the quote (actually, MOS states that no quotation marks should be used for blockquotes). It seems that I reverted some rightful wiki links in the process, which was not my intent.

Regarding your translations of book titles: If you simply replace the original language title with an English title then this is not the actual source an article may be based on, nor may there even be an English version of the book with that title. In other words, replacing the title is not helpful at all, and in fact misleading! If you really want to provide a translation leave the original-language title in place and add the translation within parentheses. Furthermore, if you don't know that language too well I suggest you to not rely on machine translations. Heck, even your recent reinstantiations of English book titles in Jürgen von Beckerath are inaccurate! But machine translation is cheap, right? Nageh (talk) 17:44, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• 0c was looking for the correct translation here but there isn't another apart from my own.If it is the case that they are wrong,there hasn't been an effort to correct this and accurate alternate provided by User:Nageh .think it better to make the article correct first before hurling your rhetoric towards myself,that is if your aware of the correct translations.otherwise when an english-language article is lacking anything other than german titles better to work through and create a close enough effort.Drift chambers (talk) 17:59, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• 1d  ::The lack of effort is on your side. You disregard WP:MOS, you disregard WP:Naming_conventions_(books)#Title_translations, which states that English translations should be provided for non-Latin book titles, you disregard my further explanations above, and you accuse me of hurling mere rhetoric towards you. Nice move. Nageh (talk) 18:08, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Though someone might consider sockpuppetry the challenge to be appropriate, there isn't any malice or hidden agenda to have these alternative accounts, infact there is another UA1high which is also a physics username,being used.Really considered too selfish on my part to hold, something like a monopoly of these physics username accounts,but having to learn about accountancy elsewhere as a subject did consider account managemnt as something must cut my teeth upon,and again was considering a query with the help desk as had proceeded from a clean-start situation to Neutralcurrent,to find making use of a number of physics named accounts would be of use to those analysts who would make sense of the editing patterns, so did so for dreasons of artistry.c.f PrometheusHe was a champion of mankind, known for his wily intelligence, who stole fire from the gods (Zeus) and gave it to mortals reference for this is There is scholarly thought that man already had fire, and it was taken away by Zeus.

• 1b:::I am sorry, but I have no idea what you just said. As you can tell from WP:SOCK#LEGIT, sockpuppeting is only allowed if you have a valid reason for doing so. I see edits 8 minutes apart at the Rachel Weisz article (1, 2). In the 666 (number) article, you were editing as Drift chamber. A bot then reverted you. You quickly login as Neutral current and revert the bot, and then right back in as Drift chamber and keep editing. These are just a few examples of many. That kind of editing is not okay!

Yes, I am familiar with the concept of verifiability, thank you. However the information you refer to is in the article's lead section which is intended to summarise the rest of the article. As explained in WP:LEADCITE it is not necessary to provide citations for information in the lead which is repeated in the article's body, as is the case here (in the "Terminology" section). The definition you added is also incorrect, or at least overly simplistic. The word "code" in the context of cryptography has a specific meaning, and there is far more to cryptography than codes (again this is explained in the "terminology" section). Hut 8.5 19:30, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop it, Drift chambers aka Neutral current aka furkhaocean aka furkaocean. If you have absolutely no knowledge about a difficult subject such as cryptography don't go ahead and google some wrong dictionary definitions (as you did so far in countless other articles) and insist on adding them. Hut 8.5 has already explained to you that modern cryptography is actually about ciphers and not codes; these are quite different concepts. Furthermore, cryptography is much more than the study of ciphers, but - as the article more correctly describes - the practice of hiding (and protecting) information from adversaries. Or, as Mihir (based on Rivest) has described it quite generally, "cryptography is about constructing and analyzing protocols which overcome the influence of an adversary". Your editing is contentious: please stop it. Nageh (talk) 08:25, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please discuss this on the article's talk page. Edit warring is considered disruptive and can get you blocked. Hut 8.5 09:49, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

c/o User talk:Nageh the following from the article ciphertext

In cryptography, ciphertext (or cyphertext) is the result of encryption performed on plaintext using an algorithm, called a cipher.[1] Ciphertext is also known as encrypted or encoded information.

this article doesn't reflect changes either,as there is no mention of modern cryptographyDrift chambers (talk) 10:08, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

the above reply is meant only as,for the attention of User talk:Nageh

i.e mea culpaDrift chambers (talk) 10:14, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This does not have an effect on the fact that a code is defined differently from a cipher, and even classical cryptography was not only concerned with codes. Concerning classical vs. modern cryptography, most of the article discusses modern cryptography. Nageh (talk) 11:07, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I noticed you recently created the article Antidorus of Cyme. I was wondering if you could help us out - the article currently links to three disambiguation pages: Peripatetic, Ergo and Cyme. Do you think you could point these to the correct articles? Sometimes it's difficult to know what the original author intended. This tool is very helpful. Thanks, --JaGa^talk 19:31, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I have a couple of comments on your recent edits of Shmuel Agmon:

• the Emet prize announcement is already cited in the article, so if you want to cite it once again, you can reference the same link (instead of adding the same ref. several times). The first time you cite a ref. you give it a name (e.g. ^[1]), and the next time you cite the same ref (e.g. ^[1]).

• Are you sure the "learning section" in its current form is in place? The article does not mention where Agmon studied, et cet, so the info seems to be out of context. Also, I think it would be more important to add at least a short paragraph about Agmon's work (unfortunately, I am not competent to do this), before adding more biographic material.

Best regards, Sasha (talk) 16:02, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed you worked on cleaning up some of the Egyptian mythology pages such as Anuket and others. You have been adding websites as sources for the articles. That is not the sources Wikipedia is looking for per WP:RELIABLE. The articles need to be referenced by either books or journals that are reputable and preferably peer reviewed. I have found that sometimes the fastest way to get the sources is to do a search on google books. It still requires some thought about which books are reliable and which ones are not, but often the name of the author gives a clue in that direction. Websites are almost never appropriate as sources, unless they are maintained by for instance a university (the one you have on the Edfu Project is excellent and should probably be added as a link in a section labeled External Links?). --AB (talk) 15:18, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am concerned about your edits to ancient Egypt articles over the past few days. Aside from the problem with reliable sources that User:AnnekeBart points out above, there are also formatting problems. The first word of each section heading is supposed to be capitalized, and typing "return" several times to create huge blocks of white space is not a good way to arrange the elements of the article. Plus, you include long quotations from ancient Egyptian texts. That's not absolutely wrong, but quotations from primary sources like that are supposed to be used sparingly. For example, there are dozens of spells in the Pyramid Texts that mention the Duat by name, but only the passages (not whole spells) that are most relevant to understanding what the Duat is should be quoted in article text. Moreover, recent translations of foreign language texts are copyrighted. If you're quoting directly from Allen's book, as you seem to be, quotations that are too long could be considered a copyright violation. A. Parrot (talk) 17:52, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fair Use The amount used isn't substantial in comparison to the whole content,the qoutes aren't from Allen directly ,instead quotes of translations of the original egyptian The Duat use is relatively long but without any use of comment by Allen (so the use is translation ),while the Aken quote is very short in comparison to the whole work,and the small comment used from Allen is significantly different.Copyright Act of 1976.So your concern is with the Duat usage presumably.

Hello, my name is Consulnico, from the French Wikipedia, where I've seen some of your edits today. You've put interwikis (i.e. a link to the same article in another language of wikipedia) in the bodies of articles, but you have been reverted, so I've come here to understand why. As I can see in your page of contributions, you're doing the exactly same thing, but it's absolutely useless because if you look at the left column in every article, you can see that there are links to the same article in other languages of wikipedias. If you click on one of these links, you see the article in another language.

So, you don't have to continue this, because these changes should not be accepted by the community. Regards, --Consulnico (talk) 22:03, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  For the third time, stop inventing magical new conventions. "use a referencing style consistent with the article or, indeed, Wikipedia as a whole" is not "alter all the citations" or "please, feel free to make up your own way of doing things used literally nowhere else". I'm not going to revert you, because it's getting to the point where there is edit-warring, but I have repeatedly brought up my concerns and you have repeatedly failed to discuss them.

• Firstly, the original format already contained the dates. Secondly, "ignore all rules" is "when a rule prevents you from improving Wikipedia, ignore it" - how does writing case citations ALL IN CAPS improve Wikipedia? Third, your article linked to two hidden journal articles, neither of which are accessible, rendering the references just as pointless, accompanied by a report from Australia that isn't even the case transcript! Understanding the cases' relevance and meaning is perfectly clear - when the article says "as in Ashdown v Telegraph Group Ltd, the courts "bear in mind that considerations of public interest are paramount". Because of this, there are many different things which enhance or detract from the "fair" nature of the dealing", it seems obvious to parse it as "Ashdown v Telegraph Group is a case in which the public interest was kept in mind by the courts".

Precisely what is your specialisation in English law? Ironholds (talk) 11:05, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• I agree with Ironholds. Your case citation style is bizarre, disruptive and certainly non-standard for Wikipedia (and what other institutions do elsewhere is irrelevant). Anyone who think that Ashdown v Telegraph Group had eleven hearings because it is contained in eleven different law reports probably ought not to be adding / editing case citations to legal articles.

Regarding your recent page moves: parenthetical tags are generally added to article titles only for the purposes of disambiguation; i.e., to distinguish between two or more articles with the same name. The current convention regarding geographical features (WP:NCGN) is to use the widely accepted name, and only add additional text if needed to distinguish between multiple articles that share the same name. If you want to change this convention to use parenthetical phrases for category navigation, can you propose the new convention at WT:NCGN, rather than make pagemoves that move certain articles out of step with established naming conventions? --Muchness (talk) 21:13, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your renaming of mountain articles to include a region, country or province. It breaks two of the five principal naming criteria at WP:TITLE, namely conciseness and consistency (as Wikipedia generally does not do this except where disambiguation is required). The moves should be reverted. If you wish to challenge the naming policy you need to discuss it first with the community e.g. at the Village Pump or the Talk Page of WP:TITLE. --Bermicourt (talk) 08:00, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm here to reinforce the comments of Cullen328 and Bermicourt. If there's any possibility of people disagreeing with a page move it's best to discuss it beforehand in an appropriate venue.   Will Beback  talk  20:00, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• I also am here to support the remarks of the editors above. Please stop this unnecessary renaming as it just causes more work for it to be undone. If you believe you have justifications for doing so, please discuss them first. Thanks. RedWolf (talk) 06:32, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please review WP:Minor Edit. You should only be claiming a minor edit when it is truly a minor edit (such as spelling corrections, obvious missed paragraph breaks, etc.). It should never be used when removing several sentences/paragraphs, nor any change in the content/meaning of a sentence or paragraph. All of these instances where you should not declare "minor edit" you have edits in your history in which you have improperly marked as "minor". — al-Shimoni (talk) 09:46, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

for my benefit, please state the instances/examples that caused this comment Drift chambers (talk) 09:52, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There are too many to list them all. :( Another user mentioned such a case in the section below. From a quick reglance at your contributions, there are examples such your "expanding article" labeled as "minor" but by the description alone shows that it is definitely not. Moving/retitling an article is never a minor edit, yet you've done that with several articles (moving articles is such a non-minor edit that most will get reverted immediately if there hasn't already been a consensus discussion about it first). Adding categories, again. Anything that adds, takes away, or changes the meaning of a sentence/paragraph/article is not a minor edit (reverting vandalisms is an exception).

On the other hand, you have a few edits which are correctly labeled as "minor" such as wikifying terms, punctuation, correcting bad grammar (without changing the intended meaning).

When someone sees a user's contribution list and sees that most of everything is labeled "minor," people get suspicious and start looking at your edit history. Usually the only time such a thing happens is when all that someone is doing is going around and correcting spelling and grammar for an hour; your edits are clearly not all that but includes clear content changes and article moves.

Not trying to be an arse, just trying to help you out with the side-benefit of you not having people getting irritated by your edits (some might interpret this as trying to sneak edits "under the radar"). :P

As a side-comment, I'm impressed by the amount of time you've put-in in an attempt to improve articles. Far more effort than I have put into WP. — al-Shimoni (talk) 05:52, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Wayne Horowitz, as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. In other words, there is no practical or realistic way in which all the edits you've made in creating that article could be considered "Minor". ClaretAsh (talk) 13:28, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(content is mostly book titles), A minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. > otherwise will review my understanding as suggested. Drift chambers (talk) 15:00, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The addition of this much content does not qualify as minor. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Addition, as with removal, of content are NOT minor changes. As myself and others have tried to communicate, marking edits as minor is not the default convention. The default is to NOT tick the "minor edit" check box when saving an edit. In other words, if in doubt, don't mark an edit as minor. ClaretAsh (talk) 00:23, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I see a total of four accounts: user:Furkaocean, user:Furkhaocean, user:Neutral current, user:Drift chambers. Do you have any others? Those four accounts have overlapping edits on 22 article pages. Multiple accounts are highly discouraged, and using multiple accounts on the same article is especially problematic. See WP:SOCK. Is there some reason you need to have so many accounts?

Academics/professors meeting any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, are notable. Academics/professors meeting none of these conditions may still be notable if they meet the conditions of WP:Notability or other notability criteria, and the merits of an article on the academic/professor will depend largely on the extent to which it is verifiable. Before applying these criteria, see the detailed Notes which follow.

1. The person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources.

2. The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level.

3. The person is or has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g. a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society) or a Fellow of a major scholarly society for which that is a highly selective honor (e.g. the IEEE).

4. The person's academic work has made a significant impact in the area of higher education, affecting a substantial number of academic institutions.

5. The person holds or has held a named chair appointment or "Distinguished Professor" appointment at a major institution of higher education and research.

6. The person has held a major highest-level elected or appointed academic post at a major academic institution or major academic society.

7 The person has made substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity.

8. The person is or has been the head or chief editor of a major well-established academic journal in their subject area.

9. The person is in a field of literature (e.g writer or poet) or the fine arts (e.g. musician, composer, artist), and meets the standards for notability in that art, such as WP:CREATIVE or WP:MUSIC.

Hi Drift chambers, I thought I'd drop a few notes on your talk page with some help on writing articles :o)

First of all, it may be best for you to do a bit of reading, starting with the Wikipedia manual of style, which will give you a lot of information about how Wikipedia prefers its articles to be written. It's not as hard to follow as it might look; quite a bit of the information there probably won't be vital for you at first.

Second, I recommend you make a user sandbox - which is just an area you can use to practise in, and to make notes in, and to get things ready in. If you click this red link: user:Drift chambers/Sandbox, that will let you create that page (it gives you an edit window to start work in). Anything, anywhere, on the help and information pages which gives you an example, try it out in your sandbox until you're familiar with it.

For your article, the next thing you want to do is start collecting as much information as you can about it. Google searches (particularly in Books and Scholar) will be your best friend for this! Once you've found the information, the next most important thing is to start writing up each fact in your own words (very important, this), and make a note at the same time of exactly where that information came from. Build in the references as you go along; I'm going to copy in, down below this, a whole heap of help on doing references, which was produced by one of our best teachers (Chzz).

Here's another place that you'll find incredibly useful - citation templates which you can copy and paste into your sandbox, between <ref></ref> tags; you just fill in the blanks from your sources into the template, and you'll end up with nicely formatted inline citations :o) It all helps. Remember to add a references section to your sandbox (make a new line, and put ==References== on it, and type {{reflist}} on the next line, so that you can see how your citations look as you do them. Remember to save your page often! You don't want to lose your work.

Hopefully this will give you a good start and make life easier for you.

One last thing to keep as a motto: "It's better to write one good, well-referenced, nicely-presented article than it is to create fifty unreferenced one-line stubs!" Pesky (talk …stalk!) 13:30, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Simple references[edit]

These require two parts;

a)

Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref>  He likes tea. <ref> [http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com Tea website] </ref> 

b) A section called "References" with the special code "{{reflist}}";

== References == {{reflist}} 

(an existing article is likely to already have one of these sections)

To see the result of that, please look at user:chzz/demo/simpleref. Edit it, and check the code; perhaps make a test page of your own, such as user:Drift chambers/reftest and try it out.

Named references[edit]

Chzz was born in 1837. <ref name=MyBook> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009.  </ref>   Chzz lives in Footown.<ref name=MyBook/>  

Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result.

Citation templates[edit]

You can put anything you like between <ref> and </ref>, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look;

Chzz has 37 Olympic medals. <ref> {{Citation  | last = Smith  | first = John  | title = Olympic medal winners of the 20th century  | publication-date = 2001  | publisher = [[Cambridge University Press]]  | page = 125  | isbn = 0-521-37169-4 }} </ref> 

Please see user:chzz/demo/citeref to see the result.

For more help and tips on that subject, see user:chzz/help/refs.

You might want to consider using this tool - (tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/webreflinks.py) - it makes your life a whole heap easier, by filling in complete citation templates for your links. All you do is install the script on Special:MyPage/common.js, or or Special:MyPage/vector.js, then paste the bare url (without [...] brackets) between your <ref></ref> tabs, and you'll find a clickable link called Reflinks in your toolbox section of the page (probably in the left hand column). Then click that tool. It does all the rest of the work (provided that you remember to save the page! It doesn't work for everything (particularly often not for pdf documents), but for pretty much anything ending in "htm" or "html" (and with a title) it will do really, really well all by itself. For those it can;t do by itself, it gives you a pull-down (or up) menu of templates to choose from, which you can then fill in manually. Often the problem is "No title found" - sometimes the title is obvious (especially if it's a pdf), bit, if not, just open the page yourself and choose soemthing appropriate if there's not already a clear title there. Happy editing! Pesky (talk …stalk!) 13:30, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

Questionable WP:NOTABILITY; the two potentially-notability-generating refs, one has just a mention in a single sentence; the other is a brief odd textbook thing which, while suggesting she's a woman of achievement, makes no more claim of importance than that she went into the AI field. Other ghits and gnews hits aren't of sort that establish notability.

Just an FYI, with the addition of a section header "Introduction" to the Pope article, there is now no lead paragraph. It is especially vital for a lengthy, high-importance article such as this one to have one or more lead paragraphs which summarize the contents of the whole article, and such a paragraph must be placed before any section headers. See MOS:LEAD for more information. Elizium23 (talk) 22:14, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I just declined your request for creation of Category:Greeks who committed suicide because we already have Category:Suicides in Greece.

Response: Possibly not the correct choice though as;

Category:Greeks who committed suicide > people born to the Greece having then at some time committed suicide

I'd suggest we wait with populating Category:Greeks who committed suicide until after it has been moved to Category:Ancient Greeks who committed suicide; otherwise the work will have to be done twice.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that the page that you created was tagged as a test page and has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to 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 tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Drift chambers (talk) 21:12, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edit to Old World monkey introduced a large amount of whitespace.

I've put cleanup tags on some pages you've been editing recently, mainly because you've used strange referencing systems, introduced whitespace in lots of strange places (including at the beginning of articles??), and leaving lots of copyediting issues.

Hi Drift. I reverted your recent additions at Isaac Newton's religious views. I believe your recent edits have turned an article that was rated good into one that currently isn't. You are more than welcome to improve and make additions to the article, but it should not reduce the quality of the article, especially ones that have undergone a form of peer review. I would suggest you detail your changes at the talk page first. AIRcorn (talk) 02:20, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
