Speedy deletion of Sydney Hilton bombing/extracts

A tag has been placed on Sydney Hilton bombing/extracts requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. 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 as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

copied from article talk page:

This page is not a primary article (does not appear when searched for main article). Instead it contains extracts that provide references and citations for the primary article.

It is certainly not an infringement under any copyright laws. Extracts, properly cited and acknowledged, less than a chapter etc. are always ok under fair use. And I could probably get explicit permission from the newspaper. But the extracts are sadly not directly available on the web.

The fact that they are NOT in our words is the point, people want accessible reference material.

I could put them up on a private site, but it would be better to keep them all within the Wikipedia umbrella.

So, given that copyright is not the issue, what is the best way of doing this.

sorry, it is our policy not to include this material within WP, except in short quotations as relevant within an article. I've had to delete it. We are not a collection of sources, fair use or otherwise. Even if it were public domain, we would not include it. 04:47, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Hiltonbombing wideweb 470x314,0.jpeg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Hiltonbombing wideweb 470x314,0.jpeg. 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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 16:57, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Shell speeds do not make sense

I deleteted the following because the numbers simply do not add up. The muzzel velocity was 660m/s, so 10 seconds should give about 6600m, or 20,00 ft. Worse, the shell seems to speed up as the height and angle is increased. Tuntable (talk) 03:32, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

The shell took 10.1 seconds to reach 5,000 ft (1,500 m) fired at 25° above horizontal, 15.5 seconds to reach 10,000 ft (3,000 m) at 40°, 22.1 seconds to reach 15,000 ft (4,600 m) at 55°.[1]

Take a piece of paper and draw the lines at the degrees indicated. You will discover that at 25° the shell spends most of its time travelling horizontally and little vertically (i.e. long range at low altitude), wheras at 55° it spends most of its time travelling vertically (short range at high altitude). Hence at 25° it travels 11,831 feet in total in attaining 5,000 feet altitude (5000 / sin 25), while travelling 10,723 feet horizontally; and 18,312 feet in total in attaining 15,000 feet altitude at 55° (15000 / sin 55) while travelling 10,503 feet horizontally. This assumes the shell travels in a straight line whereas it actually travels in a parabola, the mathematics of which are beyond me, but the straight-line calculations are close enough. I have restored the original text. Rod. Rcbutcher (talk) 05:58, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

A belated welcome!

Sorry for the belated welcome, but the cookies are still warm!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Tuntable. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! JustinTime55 (talk) 16:56, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Space Race article

Hello. The Space Race article used to have a separate section devoted to unmanned lunar probes, and I see you've added a paragraph about unmanned probes to the "To the Moon" section. It has some problems and interrupts the flow of the article as it's now written, so I moved your paragraph to the article's talk page. Please join the discussion there as to whether or not, and how, to put unmanned probes back into this article, so that we can improve it by consensus. Thank you.

Hi Tuntable, could you please give references to the information you've added to great ape language, otherwise it will have to be removed. Cheers, Jack (talk) 10:19, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

References

You can learn here how to provide references. This -- WP:CITEFOOT -- is probably the easiest way to add a reference. The material you added to Joseph Stalin is contentious. You cannot remove a "citation needed" tag just because you don't know how to provide a citation. Please learn how -- it is very easy -- and remove the tags only after you have provide references to WP:reliable sourcess. Thank you. Ground Zero | t 01:36, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

November 2012

Hello, I'm ViperSnake151. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Windows RT seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Judging by a previous comment on its talk page, your edits are pushing a bias towards the restrictions of the operating system platform, which have already been mentioned elsewhere in a neutral format. ViperSnake151  Talk  22:23, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello. It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on biased users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. ViperSnake151  Talk  04:06, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

You're doing this again. It's needless and not appropriate to ask many editors on their talk pages into a dispute like this. Please stop. If you think there's insufficient commentary, start an RfC.--Jasper Deng (talk) 23:26, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Frederic Arthur Martens

The article Frederic Arthur Martens has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This does not seem to meet the high bar needed for including the wrongly convicted, per WP:CRIMINAL.

While all constructive 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.

Office 365

Hello, Tuntable

I received your message, which was an indicator of your passion. Nevertheless, I wish you had studied your own sources more carefully; the article too.

Problem: Your contribution to Office 365 is self-contradictory, contradictory and wrong. Self-contradictory because it says two opposite things. Contradictory because article already says something like what your contribution says and your contribution contradicts it. And wrong because nobody says "Office 365" to mean "Click-to-Play" or "Office Web Apps". These two are available outside Office 365.

There are many good unreferenced contributions out there. Yours is not one of them. Synthesis of multiple sources that implies what none of them say it is bad because it yields false results, not because it is against some policy. If you wish to resolve contradictions, I will gladly cooperate with you in the article talk page.

Best regards,
Codename Lisa (talk) 08:27, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

I see that you are continuing to revive the personal attack in my talk page and revert to the version that you like, breaking BRD. Discussion seems not to be your priority. Personal attack and breaking BRD together are called edit warring. Although, judging by your edit summary, you already know it.

This is your last warning. If you continue this uncollegial behavior, you risk losing your editing privileges.

2014 Sydney hostage crisis

Hi there.

I saw your comments about the Sydney Hostage situation, where you were referring to the gunman Monis only actually killing one person, and the rest being killed by police. I had actually been told (back when I was following the case) that he hadn't killed anyone at all. Anyway, either way, I think that it is very relevant to the article, especially from a historical perspective, as it possibly indicates that this was a case of "mad panic when there wasn't any need for it", and that the deaths were caused primarily by the incorrect designation of this as a terrorist incident more than by the gunman himself (I am also unsure if "gunman" is the correct term - perhaps just "culprit" is better?) I am sure that 10 or 20 years from now people will be looking at this and saying "why on earth was this such a big story?" I mean, seriously, the very next day, in Sydney, there was a hostage situation that barely even made the news. Yet Wikipedia sees the need to name this one as the Sydney Hostage situation, and not the other one. Hostage situations, unfortunately, happen all the time, and they often aren't even newsworthy. The main reason that this was newsworthy was because it was an Arab Muslim man. For me, this shouldn't have had the level of publicity it had. Perhaps if it hadn't had this much publicity then nobody would have died. Oh, and around here we called it the chocolate shop siege, so as to distinguish it from all of the other hostage situations. It is pretty rare for someone to hold up a chocolate shop! It is not rare for someone to have hostages and lay siege to somewhere.

If you have any ideas for how to present this in a way that is fair and balanced, then we could probably get it put into the article. As it is a very controversial article, it is probably best to present it on the talk page first. Mister Sneeze A Lot (talk) 02:49, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Actually, cross that. I wrote this based on reading the talk page, not the article itself, and I now see that it has already been added to the article. Gah! It is in the lead paragraph, no less. I am still wondering, though, if it is good to use the term "gunman", given he only fired 1 shot. Perhaps the term "culprit" is better. What do you think?

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Both15cropped.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Both15cropped.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

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. Eeekster (talk) 04:16, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Sydney siege inquest split from 2014 Sydney hostage crisis

I loved your work on covering the inquest from the Sydney siege, and have copied and pasted it into its own separate article, at Sydney siege inquest with a link to it from its parent article. I think that there is enough consensus that this is warranted.

You are better at writing it than I am, and I'd like to encourage you to continue to contribute it. I am just writing to inform you of the new article. My apologies that your username isn't linked with the article.

I definitely think that a separate article is warranted, based on the quote from the reputable Sydney Morning Herald, who said "this is the most important report in New South Wales history". When they say that, it warrants its own article, for sure, and I see parallels between this and the Trial of Oscar Pistorius in terms of coverage. Mister Sneeze A Lot (talk) 13:52, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:2016 Test Results Graph 2016 v2.pdf. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy.

Hi Tuntable, thanks for your message. No worries about the grammar fixes, but I'm not too sure I can help re the formatting - I only have a very basic idea of what GUI even means, so no I'm not using anything like that. I am working on a computer rather than a mobile device, could that be the difference for how it is appearing for you? Your edits appear to me to have breaks in the middle of paragraphs, which I assumed was a mistake, but guess might be indicative of something else, but unfortunately I don't know what? I'm sure there are wiki-editors who would know much more than me about that kind of thing though. Melcous (talk) 08:44, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

Please attribute or claim media you uploaded or restored: File:DanmorePopulationDistributions.png

You uploaded or restored , File:DanmorePopulationDistributions.png, but for various reasons did not add an {{information}} block, or indicate your (user) name on the file description page. Media uploaded to Wikipedia needs information on the SPECIFIC authorship and source of files, to ensure that it complies with copyright laws in various jurisdictions.

If it's entirely your own work, please include {{own}} in the relevant source field, amend the {{information}} added by a third party, ensuring that your user name (or name you want used for attribution) is clear in the author field, and change the license to an appropriate "self" variant (if such a license is not already used). You should also add an |author= parameter to the license tag, to assist reviews and image patrollers. You can also add |claimed=yes and an |author=to the {{media by uploader}} or {{presumed_self}} tag if it is present to indicate that you've acknowledged the image, and license shown (and updated the {{information}} where appropriate).

If it's not entirely your own work, then please update the source and authorship fields, so that they accurately reflect the source and authors of the original work(s), as well as the derivative you created. You should also not use a "self" license unless the work is entirely you own. Media that is incorrectly claimed as self or {{own}}, will eventually be listed at Files for Discussion or deleted, unless it's full status is entirely clear to other contributors, reviewers and image patrollers.

Whilst this notification, relates to a single media upload, it would also be appreciated if you could ensure that appropriate attribution exists for other media you uploaded, You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

It's okay to remove or strike this message once the issue has been resolved :).

Splitting up TLS

I certainly hope my reversions don't discourage you from contributing to WP, or even to the editing of the TLS article! That certainly isn't my intention. And yes, I'm aware you raised the issue of the article's length last September on the talk page. It can be difficult to get the many editors on this page to focus on broader issues, rather than narrowly editing a sentence or two or adding another row to a table. But I've had some success in the pass.

I'm sorry if I seem overly cautious in my approach to editing this particular page, but it does often get over 5,000 page views a day (more than 122,000 last month) and is therefore one of the most read computer science technical articles on WP. And thousands of edits have been made to it over the years.

Your proposal to move out the adoptions subsection is not a bad one, and if no one else strongly objects, then yes this section certainly stand on its own as its own page. But the TLS page will need a summary paragraph to be written that summarizes the info in the (newly created) main page for that section. You moved out the subsection but didn't supply readers with that summary. This is standard WP editing when a section reads "Main article ...". And the move broke a few internal references within the TLS article. The TLS adoptions page you created will also need a new lede to orient the reader and links back to the main article. But this wouldn't be a lot of work to pull together.

I recently shortened the security subsection and agree that it could do with a more editing as some of the info -- which was important breaking news when it was happening in 2013, 2014, etc -- now reads as a bit arcane. I'll try to get to this soon.

Are there other sections you think might stand well on their own?

Ways to improve Transport Layer Security Adoption

Hello, Tuntable,

Thanks for creating Transport Layer Security Adoption! I edit here too, under the username Bishal Shrestha and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:-

I recommend you to make appropriate changes (with title and summary) to Transport Layer Security if you want this page to stay. I will have to flag this one(Transport Layer Security Adoption) for deletion, if this article is just going to be another fork(and duplication) from main article.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Bishal Shrestha}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Temperature change in an ideal gas

Hi Tuntable. At Ideal gas you wrote “An ideal gas does not cool on expansion or heat on compression. …” See your diff.

This is incorrect. The situation is correctly explained at Joule–Thomson effect# The Joule–Thomson (Kelvin) coefficient (last paragraph) where it says “For an ideal gas, $\mu _{\mathrm {JT} }$ is always equal to zero: ideal gases neither warm nor cool upon being expanded at constant enthalpy.” (The bolded words are most significant. The bolding has been added by me.)

When a gas is compressed in a reversible adiabatic process its temperature and internal energy both rise. The increase in internal energy is equal to the work done on the gas during the compression process. This is true of ideal gases, and also real gases such as air. Identically, when a gas is expanded in a reversible adiabatic process its temperature and internal energy both fall. The fall in internal energy is equal to the work done on the surroundings by the gas. This is true of ideal gases, and also real gases. When a gas is compressed or expanded in a reversible adiabatic process, entropy is constant throughout the process but enthalpy changes. I will comment on the constant-enthalpy process in the next paragraph.

The situation which sees an ideal gas undergo an isothermal change is the throttling process or Joule-Thomson expansion. This is a change which is definitely not reversible; it is an almost-explosive decompression and it can be shown to take place with no change in enthalpy (but an increase in entropy). When an ideal gas is throttled to a lower pressure the temperature of the gas remains unchanged; unlike the situation with real gases where the temperature falls a little (except for hydrogen, helium and neon whose temperatures increase upon throttling.) The throttling process cannot be used to increase the pressure of any gas – that would involve a decrease in entropy and so would violate the second law of thermodynamics.

I’m happy to discuss further. Dolphin (t) 08:27, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:OASIA-KMIP-RSA2015-Booth.jpg

The file File:OASIA-KMIP-RSA2015-Booth.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Orphaned image, no context to determine possible future encyclopedic use.

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 files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --TheImaCow (talk) 18:10, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

February 2021

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:African Americans are for discussion related to improving (a) an encyclopedia article in specific ways based on reliable sources or (b) project policies and guidelines. They are not for general discussion about the article topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

Hello, I'm Shibbolethink. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to WP:YESLABLEAK appear to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. It is one thing to put a link to one's website on one's own User Page. it is quite another to go to several other users' essays and insert links to one's own personal website. This is grossly inappropriate and very likely a violation of WP:NOT. Please be careful and avoid promotional edits in the future. — Shibbolethink ^{(♔ ♕)} 21:11, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
