Re:User talk:98.163.109.101: Difference between revisions

Hi Brianhe. The reason I made those edits to the MS Dynamics and Sage pages was because their pages had far too many listings on the ERP Software category page and it didn't appear very vendor neutral. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ‎ 98.163.109.101 (talk • contribs) 19:16, 16 February 2013‎

So you're saying WP:UNDUE should apply to category inclusion? That's absurd. Create a vendor-specific subcategory if needed. — Brianhe (talk) 19:57, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Motorcycle oil

Hi. Why did you revert my edit to the "Motorcycle oil" article? The text is somewhat misguiding and confusing. For instance, there is no such thing as a "weight" oil, the "W" in the SAE designation stands for "winter" and refers to the properties of the oil when cold. The description of the syntethic oil looks as if its for a single grade oil with properties that are described like the exact definition of a multi grade oil.

--83.178.226.202 (talk) 10:36, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

"Weight" and "grade" are described as interchangeable at Motor oil#Grades. If this is not so, please provide a source. — Brianhe (talk) 14:46, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

If so, why did you bother changing it, especially when it also contains a better description of the alternative of using multi grade oils?

I am aware that the SAE viscosity numbers are sometimes referred to as "oil weights" but the numbers are in fact based upon flow rate at cold(W) and hot temperatures and have nothing whatsoever to do with weight. My idea of this is that the "W" designation on the oil bottles caused a so called "common misconception" when it occured in the early 50's. It is in any case misguiding as the numbers have nothing to do with weight, so I choose not to use it.

I tried to post a link here, but the page won't save even if I write in the CAPTCHA correctly. Please google "sae motor oil standards" and you will find. Ideas4ag-ed dot com has an excellent article.

Why don't you create an account and make your changes to Motorcycle oil, with citations? Then discuss on the article's talk page. As you know from the prior revert, there are many other people who would like to collaborate on this. Also it's difficult to communicate with someone whose identity (your IP address) changes constantly. — Brianhe (talk) 19:46, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

By the way there is an answer to your question about your user name here: User talk:83.178.226.205. - Brianhe (talk) 20:05, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

• We really need to go ahead and merge this into Motor oil, as discussed. State what is different about it, and delete anything else. There shouldn't be any advice about what kind of oil you should use, per WP:NOTHOWTO. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 20:58, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

I don't have a strong feeling on merging the articles, but am coming around to your point of view on this. Are there any cars with shared transmission-engine lubrication? If not, this is probably the only unique element of the MC specific article, and it would be fine to have a subsection to cover it. — Brianhe (talk) 00:51, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

I can't think of any recent examples, but the BMC Mini and early Lamborghini Miuras come to mind. Sincerely, SamBlob (talk) 08:36, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Tower category renames

India was correct Saudi Arabia was a typo that I fixed on the page. These were listed correctly on the CfD page. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:33, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Actually I think there was a cut & paste error on several of the nominations. For example the Saudi entry says: subst:cfr2|Television towers in Saudi Arabia|header=Category:Television towers in Japan|Communication towers in Saudi Arabia|... Brianhe (talk) 02:28, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

FAM1885

I'm sorry I never responded, my English is not very good. I'm Italian. I hope I have made ​​mistakes but I tried to correct and align some information between versions of wikipedia Italian and English. There is no problem if you want to correct some things. hello and see you soon.Ciao!!!!!!!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.61.2.185 (talk) 07:00, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

You are being modest; it's surely better than my Italian. Looking forward to collaborating some more. — Brianhe (talk) 14:06, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your compliment. Are registered in Italy as FAM1885 wikipedia, I do not know if you can also register on the UK charts with the same initials. Ciao!!!! FAM1885 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.61.2.185 (talk) 21:49, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Actually, Wikipedia is hosted in the USA, where I also happen to be (not the UK). As for the user account, I believe you created FAM1885 at some point, as that account shows activity: Special:Contributions/FAM1885. you might also be interested in Unified login. — Brianhe (talk) 22:45, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Ok. What should I do to have a single account? If this is the best solution for better functioning of the database and not create problems for other users will. Also because so far the changes I made and maybe continue to do will focus on rumors regarding Italy. I've noticed that sometimes there are discrepancies and errors in some cases between the Italian voices and their voices translated into English. I hope it is considered a useful work from the community. FAM1885

I followed the unified login instructions in English and it worked perfectly. I think this is the same instructions in Italian. — Brianhe (talk) 04:23, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

I have to apologize for something that i did, moved by the enthusiasm without thinking i put the draft of the Moto Guzzi Stelvio page without thinking that it was a translation work done by another. Is my personal motorcycle. Sorry again!!!!!!!FAM1885

looks like it got sorted out. You might want to read WP:COPYWITHIN, if you haven't already. Brianhe (talk) 13:44, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

VFR1200

Hi Brian,

Thanks for your work wordsmithing the VFR1200 article. Sometimes it's hard to get perspective on things like tense when you read it yourself. It is probably still pretty far from GA but fortunately it is an article that can be covered thoroughly without having to be super long. If you have any suggestions for it maybe it could set style standards for other motorcycle articles to follow. I've mostly followed the conventions from automobile articles.

Garrett^TALK 16:00, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Hey no problem, I don't see this as "my" article at all (even though I did start it). Glad to pitch in. I haven't really looked at it as a gestalt for a while, I'll do so today and provide feedback on the article's talk page. -- Brianhe (talk) 16:20, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Opened discussion at Talk:Honda VFR1200F#Improving this article. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. -- Brianhe (talk) 23:25, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Re-review Common Bonds?

I did a lot of cleanup at Common Bonds, so I didn't know if you wanted to take another look to see if it passes WP:NFILM. I'm sort of hesitant because other than the Chicago Tribune link, the coverage is entirely local. It did screen at Sundance, but it didn't really get much attention there and it didn't win anything. I'm going to ask Schmidt to take a look at it, but I don't know that it passes notability guidelines even with the salvage attempt. It's kind of the "thin line" thing here.
