Removing cleanup tag

On 4 February 2006 you placed a cleanup tag on the page Perceptual Control Theory. (Required parameters were added by others much later.) If you have no objection, it will shortly be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bn (talk • contribs) 05:24, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please Review

Hello, I am getting ready to propose 2005 Texas Longhorn football team for consideration as a featured article. The article has had one reveiw already and I believe all issues raised there have been addressed. I have also used the semi-automated review script to look for small things that need to be changed. The article is meticulously referenced with 121 in-line sources. It contains both free-use images and appropriate fair-use images. It attempts to follow the standards set out by the relevant wiki projects.

In watching the nomintaion of the OU football program, I see that the OU article has received some objections on the grounds of supposedly being overly positive and for listing too-many awards. I have reviewed the 2006 UT article in light of those objections and I am prepared to argue that every positive thing said is relevant and attributed to a specific source. As for the awards and accomplishments, I think all the ones listed in the UT article are notable and justifiable, but I'd like to get more feedback from other editors so I invite you to review the article if you please.

Thank you very much! I think you have some good points which I will reply to when I have a bit more time. Meanwhile, I have requested peer review here. Your wishes for 2007 are awesome - I share them fully. Have a Happy, Prosperous, and Safe, New Year! Johntex\^talk 00:22, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

These NFL guys need to get with it

I was thinking about trying to finish up the work to bring Vince Young back to GA status. I just realized that of 30 references in the article, 30 pertain either to his time at UT or to the draft. The NFL project has not managed to add one single reference to the article.

So I figured, well, there will be some references I can borrow from Tennessee Titans. Nope. Completely unreferenced. There is a page for 2006 Tennessee Titans season - completely unreferenced. Pathetic. These are not exactly obscure topics where references are hard to come by.

Not only are these articles supposedly watched over by the NFL project, they are tagged by the Tennessee wikiproject also. I tagged both articles as unreferenced and left notes for both WikiPorjects.

I was all fired up but now I am a bit discouraged. I feel the article may just fall back out of GA status once a new season starts if the NFL editors can't do a better job than that. I guess I'll wait a bit and see if my notices encourage anyone from those projects to help out. Johntex\^talk 16:31, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Aaron Sorkin article up for Featured Article status

Schm83x, I see you were instrumental in getting The West Wing article here at Wikipedia to featured article status... I'm trying to do the same with the Aaron Sorkin article. I would appreciate it if you could help peer review the article where it currently is in the process of vetting at the FAC page. The article is very comprehensive and it's unique in that there hasn't yet been a Screenwriter whose article has reached featured article status yet. I'm working from the nascent Screenwriters WikiProject Wikipedia:WikiProject Screenwriters to try and correct that.-BiancaOfHell 03:28, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image revert

Scm, I see that you have casually reverted the image of thermodynamic engine for that of a candle in the Template:Thermodynamics timeline context box? I don't exactly know what your motive is? A candle has nothing to do with thermodynamics. I have many history of thermodynamic books. Moreover, I've never seen you edit any thermodynamics-related articles. Please explain yourself? --Sadi Carnot 07:40, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Candle = fire = heat = thermodynamics... I'm not sure how much more obvious that can be. But that aside, a moving image in a box such as that only serves to distract from the content of the article. Also, I am a mechanical engineer with a particular interest in thermal fluids. It really isn't wise to assume that because I don't edit thermodynamics articles that I am ignorant of the subject. If I work with thermal fluids all day, what reason do I have to come home and do the same in my free time? — Scm83x ^{hook 'em} 07:52, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Let’s regroup for a minute. The image we want is such that it represents this article: Timeline of thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and random processes. Thus far our choices are:

				File:Gas-particles.jpg
Steam engine	Carnot heat engine	Candle	Engine	Gas phase

Now, as far is I can tell, in this particular article, or in the history of thermodynamics article, to which the template directly refers, there are no “candle experiments”. The candle did not play a significant role in the development of either thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, or random processes, except maybe for maybe as a reading light while the famous scientists conducted their experiments in the wee hours. I am certainly a flexible person when it comes to images, being that creativity abounds, but a candle is not a good representative of thermodynamics, heat, heat transfer, thermal fluids, etc. Please suggest an alternative if you object to the distracting-aspect of the engine. I will try to think of alternatives as well ... for example, I could scan and upload an old steam engine diagram? --Sadi Carnot 08:15, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I simply added the candle because a candle is a fire. I personally couldn't find any images that worked, because they are all in too much detail to be truly well displayed on such a small scale. I'm honestly confused as to why you don't see the logic in using something simple, like a candle, as the icon for this box. Combustion being an essential thermodynamic process and a single candle flame being the most simple representation of combustion I see a certain elegance about it. Especially considering the fact that those not well versed in thermodynamics certainly understand a candle, while most probably don't understand a triple expansion engine. In any case, the box is overall quite useless. It should be replaced in most cases with some sort of {{main|x}} link or removed entirely. It only appears in a handful of random articles anyways. — Scm83x ^{hook 'em} 08:22, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just modified and uploaded the original Carnot heat engine. I agree the template is rather useless; however, after seeing that "candle" on a number of articles lately, it has begun to bug me. When I think thermodynamics, I don't think candle, or visa-versa. When I see a candle, I think old-fashion night-light, reading light, prayer or religious symbol, some kind of Wicca thing, etc. I see your reasoning, i.e. flame = heat; but I take a certain amount of pride in the thermodynamics articles in Wikipedia and I don't think the candle is representative of either heat or thermodynamics. I apologize for my abruptness; however, I am just being frank. --Sadi Carnot 08:38, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

More suggestions

I'm commenting here at Sadi Carnot's request. It may be that I have more abstract sensibilities, but when I think of thermodynamics I think of equations and plots. I would use either Boltzmann's entropy formula, the partition function, or a plot of the Carnot cycle as an iconic representation of thermodynamics. Itub 10:04, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

File:Add			File:Add	File:Add
Add	Indicator diagram	Boltzmann's equation	Add	Add

I'm a math guy, so I think of plots and equations too, but I think an "icon" is appropriate here. A candle flame is not a good thermodynamic icon, a steam engine is, but an icon should be simple. More thermodynamic icons:

A piston in a cylinder
A thermometer
PV diagram of a Carnot cycle (mentioned above)

I also like the Boltzmann S=k ln(W) but thats probably too mathematical and not iconic enough. PAR 16:18, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree the candle is a little off... I'm fond of the gas particles, but a PV Carnot diagram may be appealing as well. --Falcorian ^(talk) 16:22, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just cropped and uploaded the Boltzmann's equation pic as well as started that article. I think that carved pic of his equation is a good representation of the bunch: thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, statistical thermodynamics, random processes, etc. I also added the indicator diagram per PAR's suggestion. It seems we are making progress. The stone-carved equation, though, is very "iconic". --Sadi Carnot 16:57, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Three votes, including myself, for the stone-carved Boltzmann's equation (as above). I will put this in. If we find a better suggestion, we can always change it later. Thanks for everyone's comments: --Sadi Carnot 17:52, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dule Hill picture on West Wing page.

I received this message regarding a Dule Hill picture I uploaded for The West Wing. I am unsure what the user is suggesting be done. I need and attorney just to use myspace anymore. If you could talk to this user and provide a rationale it would be great. Thanks BCV 04:10, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Dulé_Hill.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

School infobox proliferation

I was poking around in WP:SCH and noticed that there was a large number of overlapping school infobox templates, so I've been slowly working through them converting articles over to Template:Infobox School. (Part of the idea is to implement whatever features the variants might have added, so that no capabilities are lost in the process.)

I see that you've contributed Template:Infobox US school and worked on a number of schools using it. I'm starting to work on moving pages using that template over to the generic one, and when I saw the pattern it occurred to me that I should ask you for your opinion. Got one? Is there any reason why we need a separate "US" schools infobox template?

(I'll watch your talk page for a while, so you can reply here.)

Thanks.

Honestly, I find the first one sort of intrusive and obtusely large. I created the US one because all of the other ones I found were ugly. — Scm83x ^{hook 'em} 03:21, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In a quick review, I see that yours uses "90%" font size and so ends up a bit smaller. Are there other differences I'm missing? Perhaps simply proliferation of entries in the infobox, making it tall? If it's just a stylistic difference (like the font size), maybe we can get Template:Infobox School changed and get the less obtrusive look across the board.

Non-free use disputed for Image:SumiDas.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:SumiDas.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:57, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

Replaceable fair use Image:Cch pounder.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Cch pounder.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy.

Image source problem with Image:Allen Eagles logo.png

Image Copyright problem

This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Allen Eagles logo.png. 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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Image Question

I was looking to edit some articles on a couple TV shows and was not sure about using photos. I saw that you added some pictures to the The West Wing page, specifically Image:West wing cast.jpg. Are there any sources that are better than others for using images? I'm a little unclear on fair use still and am afraid to use protected images. Any advice?

Questioning minor 1st paragraph edits?

Re: John Roberts, John Paul Stevens, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, David Souter, Clarence Thomas, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Samuel Alito, Sandra Day O'Connor
This is a small matter. I don't understand the reasons for Sjrplscjnky's recent minor edits of articles about each of the Justices of the Supreme Court. After some time, there has been no response to inquiries posted on this editor's talk page nor has there been feedback from similar postings on the talk pages of each of the nine articles about a sitting Justice and the one about retired Justice O'Connor. Rather than simply reverting this "improvement," I thought it best to solicit comment from others who might be interested. I found your name amongst others at Talk:Supreme Court of the United States.

I'm persuaded that Sjrplscjnky's strategy of introducing academic honors in the first paragraph is unhelpful in this narrow set of articles -- that is, in Wikipedia articles about Justices of the Supreme Court. I think my reasoning might well extend as well to others on the Federal bench. In each instance, I would question adding this information only in the first paragraph -- not elsewhere in the article.

In support of my view that this edit should be reverted, please consider re-visiting articles written about the following pairs of jurists.

A1. Benjamin Cardozo
A2. Learned Hand

B1. John Marshall Harlan
B2. John Marshall Harlan II

The question becomes: Would the current version of the Wikipedia article about any one of them -- or either pair -- be improved by academic credentials in the introductory paragraph? I think not.

Perhaps it helps to repeat a wry argument Kathleen Sullivan of Stanford Law makes when she suggests that some on the Harvard Law faculty do wonder how Antonin Scalia avoided learning what others have managed to grasp about the processes of judging? I would hope this anecdote gently illustrates the point.

Less humorous, but an even stronger argument is the one Clarence Thomas makes when he mentions wanting to return his law degree to Yale.

As you can see, I'm questioning relatively trivial edit; but I hope you agree that this otherwise plausible "improvement" should be removed from introductory paragraphs of ten articles. If not, why not?

Would you care to offer a comment or observation? --Ooperhoofd (talk) 19:41, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:Pshs logo.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Pshs logo.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Amador Valley High School

Hi Scm83x, I'm leaving this message on your talk page because of your work on Plano Senior High School, the only public non-magnet high school that has reached FA. I am an editor of Amador Valley High School and am looking to raise the article to FA as well. If you have time, I would appreciate your opinion on how to make the Amador Valley High School article meet the standards of the Plano Senior High School article. My main worry is that the article is not "comprehensive" enough in certain sections. Also, some sections, particularity the lead, are a bit choppy. Thank you, Deltawk (talk) 17:33, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:West wing cast.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:West wing cast.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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 23:24, 2 August 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ejfetters (talk) 23:24, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Suspension of admin privileges due to inactivity

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative privileges of users who have been inactive for one year, meaning administrators who have made neither any edits nor any logged actions in over one year. As a result of this discussion, your administrative privileges have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these privileges reinstated, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Proposed deletion of Bugger (disambiguation)

The article Bugger (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

DAB page with only two blue links.

While all 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.

Notice of change

Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that you will not longer be able to request restoration of the tools because of your prior inactivity. You have until December 30, 2012 to request restoration or else the policy will prevent you from doing so in the future; you would need to seek a new WP:RFA. Until December 30, you can file a request at WP:BN for review by the crats. Thank you. MBisanz ^talk 04:22, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Dr pepper ballpark logo.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Dr pepper ballpark logo.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F10 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file that is not an image, sound file or video clip (e.g. a Word document or PDF file) that has no encyclopedic use.

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".

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Dr pepper ballpark logo.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Dr pepper ballpark logo.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement.

Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
