Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! -- samtar talk or stalk 08:39, 13 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Final warning edit

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Wikipedia:Reference desk. If you alter the formatting at the Reference Desk again, you will be blocked from editing. Consider this your final warning. Softlavender (talk) 12:49, 16 July 2016 (UTC)Reply


Sorry, but I reject, because you are ordinary user. Reputation? -- See Mr. Robot season 01 episode 05 time 8:15-8:35 . So, please, never mention about reputation. Username160611000000 (talk) 04:55, 4 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Talk page formatting edit

Help:Using_talk_pages#Indentation should get you started on how to format discussions on Wikipedia. The rest of that page and Wikipedia:Talk_page_guidelines provide more details if you need them.--Wikimedes (talk) 15:12, 12 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Reference desk questions edit

I'd like to remind you of the warning messages posted above. Please do not use frames or other non-standard formatting on the Reference Desks. I've changed your recent posts to use the standard Template:Quote template. Please also remember to sign your posts by typing four tilde characters (~~~~). Thank you for your cooperation. Tevildo (talk) 23:36, 5 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Ok. But Quote template is no different from the usual format. So how do I distinguish between whether the text is an excerpt of the source or the comment?
  • And about tildes, there is the robot that auto-signs comments. Why is it so important? Username160611000000 (talk) 04:42, 6 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
For a more distinctive quotation template, you can use Template:Quote frame or Template:Quote box. For signatures, see WP:SIGN - SineBot only automatically signs postings from unregistered users and users with fewer than 800 edits, and it may not catch some edits if the page is changed frequently.

WP:COPYVIO edit

See here, I have proposed your sample question be removed as a copyright violation. μηδείς (talk) 23:34, 25 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Feynman lectures are published at the public domain: www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu . The Exercises are published at the public domain: scribd.com/document/183140523/Feynman-Exercises-Volume-1 Freedom of panorama
According to Nimur (talk) 19:04, 2 October 2016 (UTC) the author copyright expired.
According TRIPS the publisher copyright = 50 years (expired).
According to [1] for educational purposes the parts of the protected work can be published.
The Solutions was published in 1965 by Nauka publisher (USSR) and are now at a public domain [2]. The Solutions was made by unnamed group of teachers of MEPhI (see preface of A. Levanyuk).

The source you have noted gives Addison-Wesley the copyright, it is not an original work of Nauka, which, in any case, did not recognize capitalist copyrights being a state organ of the USSR. The source you quote saying that the material is released to the public is in Russian; but original and derived work remains the property of the original creator, regardless of Soviet knock-offs. We need a statement from Pearson PLC itself saying that they, as the parent company of Addison-Wesley release it or derivative works. Freedom of panorama is irrelevant; it applies to building facades and publicly displayed artworks, not texts.
Can you not simply quote part of the question, rather than give the entire exercise? That would solve the problem.
You should respond at the ref desk talk page where I linked above. The matter will either be resolved there or at a higher level. μηδείς (talk) 16:53, 26 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
I do not quite understand is the problem in publication on Reference Desk the solution or the link to the statement of an exercise. If problem is in solution, then it is work of MEPhI, not Feynman, or any American publisher. Username160611000000 (talk) 17:36, 26 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
In my post there are
- link to pdf-file with exercises from theswissbay.ch (original author is Caltech)
- link to image with exercises from html.scribd.com (original author is Caltech)
- Russian-English translation of a solution from MEPhI own work (original scans).
Which one causes a complaint? Username160611000000 (talk) 19:21, 26 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Escape velocity edit

I'm way behind on a slew of "Real World" projects, and really shouldn't be spending any time on Wikipedia at all ... but I am still intrigued by your question. I've added User talk:Thinking of England#Direction matters for you to chew on. Honestly, I've not had a chance to read your recent calculations, but I will try to look at them soon.

At this point, my goal is to try to distill the contradiction down to its essence, and if it still not obvious why the naive energy balance approach is the wrong approach, then pose as concise a question as possible on RD/S.

I apologize for dragging this out for so long. -- ToE 12:45, 8 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
