If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page, or place Thank you for the info. I think I've got my sig down now. --BirgitteSB July 7, 2005 18:48 (UTC) Talk in the bottomeditWhen using talk pages, please start new threads at the bottom of the page, not at the top. Tnx. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 7 July 2005 20:58 (UTC) VotingeditYou can place your votes by using four tildes ~~~~. Thanks for your support, though.

A tip - Leave four tildas ~~~~ and your user name plus a time stamp will be generated. Regards, lots of issues | leave me a message 01:25, 11 July 2005 (UTC) Polynesia mapeditI am working on it. Someone provided me a very large file, so don't worry about that task of the collaboration. lots of issues | leave me a message 02:30, 15 July 2005 (UTC) SignatureeditActually, the easiest way is just to click the "signature" box on the editing bar (the row of boxes that is above the editing space on the edit page, starting with a B for bold and an I for italic) - the signature box is second from the end. Otherwise, you should use four tildes: ~~~~, which will addyour signature plus the date. Cheers! -- BD2412 talk 18:19, July 18, 2005 (UTC) Please complete your afd nominationseditThank you for your efforts to keep transwikied source material off of Wikipedia. However, I must ask you to please read Wikipedia:Articles for deletion#How to list pages for deletion before making any more afd nominations. Since you've been missing steps II and III, nobody will see your nominations unless someone else finds them on Category:Pages for deletion and lists them for you (which is a very time-consuming process, even with bot assistance). This also causes the articles you're trying to get deleted to stay in Wikipedia for longer than they otherwise would. —Cryptic (talk) 16:38, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
wseditthank you indeed, the template is very useful; I was very unhappy with all the broken links generated by the split of wikisource into subdomains. I put the entire text of Hesychius on wikisource, but I couldn't find it after the split. dab (ᛏ) 17:14, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

2006editWhat is the contradiction you refer to? Choess 04:32, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
about gettysburg addresseditI think I put it in the right place in bulgarian sector.--Makedonas 02:31, 10 January 2006 (UTC) Thanks for informing me. Feel free to delete it, as I wouldn't know what to do with it, and at any rate, copyvios need to go. Have a nice day. :) Johnleemk | Talk 07:39, 20 January 2006 (UTC) ArbComeditI want to thank everyone who took the time to vote on my ArbCom candidacy. I have placed some thoughts on this matter on my user pageand would welcome your thoughts.--Edivorce 23:36, 23 January 2006 (UTC) TranswikieditThanks for the notice. I think it's because this is a step of the transwiki process that is commonly ignored due to obscurity. Johnleemk | Talk 04:03, 28 January 2006 (UTC) Source texteditActually, it's both a source text (the James Madison content) and a copyvio. Just Googled one of the paragraphs. :) - Lucky 6.9 04:33, 5 February 2006 (UTC) It's what I do. :)) Thanks for the nice words. Best, Lucky 6.9 04:36, 5 February 2006 (UTC) source stuffeditIf you find material here which is already on Wikisource, be bold. Don't {{prod}} it - chop it yourself and put in a {{wikisource}} tag. See Excelsior (Longfellow) and Barbara Frietchie by John Greenleaf Whittier for example. -- RHaworth 19:40, 5 February 2006 (UTC) Thanks for your understanding note on WikinomicseditThanks for your kind words. I like to share and wikipedia has been a great place for me to write articles on topics I am knowledgeable. I have met several interesting people working on articles together. I was a little shocked when as soon as I added my article on Wikinomics that it was marked for a "candidate for deletion" because there were less than 100 hits in Google. Seems somewhat odd. It would have been nicer to just suggest a different location. But what is still not clear to me is what if this is not original research? Could it just the application description of transaction costs to wikipedia, something anyone with a basic class in economics could do? Is that a valid article to write? Then to be told to put it back on wikipedia only created more confusion. I think your idea to put it back into wikipedia just just under a dry topics like "economics" and "transaction costs of shared knowledge systems" is a good idea. I can then talk to other people about it that care about those topics and we can all write a good articles together. There are plenty of good sources I can quote from my economics and knowledge managment textbooks. I am frustrated, but I understand that there really is not a place for collaborative discussion yet on new topics there people threaten to delete thoughtful work. The article was really part of an economics assignment for a class, but with all this moving back an forth I think that Microsoft Word is a good format also :-O. YIKES! Anyway, thanks again for your sympathetic note and your empathy. Nice to see that there is someone else out there that cares about my feelings. I just wanted them to be validated. OK, now I feel much better. :-) - Dan --Dan 18:04, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
AgeditRe your user page: Yeah, I know the anti-agriculture bias you are talking about. I think we can slowly counter that by using high-quality references to back up factual statements in ag related articles. It's frustrating sometimes to deal with the pseudoscience and rumors that some people take as fact.... ike9898 20:16, 1 March 2006 (UTC Thank you for clarifying that Birgitte and I hope you are not getting tired of all this. I have posted some comments to your explanation, along with a response to User:E Pluribus Anthony who had also responded on my sketch. I think you should read both. NikoSilver (T) @ (C) 12:07, 13 April 2006 (UTC) CopyvioeditYou stated that there was a copy-vio of the article on Phoebe Buffay's songs. Could you possibly state the URL for the copy-vio. Thanks, Kilo-Lima|(talk) 19:38, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
Your comment...edit(I mean this one), could it possibly mean something along the lines of: ?
I copied your comment here above for continuity, so let's continue in your place, not mine, if you agree :-). Ok, I sincerely think that with your proposal you have given an idea that will really help to end this bickering. My first impression would be that the most acceptable name from all sides, would be the one I proposed above. The quick reasons I can think of right now follow:
What do you think? NikoSilver (T) @ (C) 16:58, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
So, where were we Birgitte, before the phone rang? NikoSilver (T) @ (C) 17:15, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBoteditSuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun! SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping. If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker. P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 15:45, 29 April 2006 (UTC) Vorkosigan Saga InconsistencieseditYou might want to cast your vote on the new deletion discussion page. xompanthy 22:58, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
Wikisource inclusioneditI noticed you have recently tagged some articles for moving to Wikisource. I wanted to talk to you especially about the splitting off of data from and article and then tagging it for WS. The English Wikisource community has recently decided to exclude all data and reference material which is not attached to a larger work available on Wikisource. Although we have not yet deleted the material which currently exists at WS, please be aware this sort of material will no longer be accepted. --Birgitte§β ʈ Talk 03:52, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
Huh?editHi Birgitte, What article were you specifically refering to? Regards, —Khoikhoi 05:20, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
brigitteeditwow, brigitte, your name is so impressive !!!!! Unixer 11:20, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
TranswikieditArgh, that was my fault, sorry, I hadn't actually checked the history of the page; I'd just been checking WP:AFD/Old, and it was listed as a page that required moving to Wikisource (I did Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868), and I noticed the old AFD tag, and after checking the AFD to make sure I wasn't seeing things, removed it and added {{Move to Wikisource}}. I probably should've actually checked the process for transwiki for things that aren't suitable for Wikisource :-) Jude (talk,contribs,email) 12:18, 2 May 2006 (UTC) Migration to WikisourceeditI've completed migrating all of the articles on the list that you left me to Wikisource links (along with cleaning up the citations, etc, while I was at it). I'm not sure, however, what the issue might've been with Helaman, and I haven't seen you on IRC, so I thought that I'd leave you a message here to ask what the issue with it was. Jude (talk,contribs,email) 02:22, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Thanks for the post on my talk. I'm intrigued by your user page links! (e.g. I just navigated into Wheel Warring proposal) I'm out of wikiTime for the moment, RL intrudes, but I'll check back and give things a closer read later this evening. Thanks again, // FrankB 20:34, 26 May 2006 (UTC) Okay, I wadded through that, and even suggested to a few that they may want to look in... including a librarian friend who has been a great comfort and resource. Thanks and Best regards // FrankB 17:58, 30 May 2006 (UTC) ZechariaheditI noticed this about two hours ago, but it was right before I went to make dinner, and as such I forgot to fix it! Bah! Thanks for reminding me, I'll go do that right now... Just to work out which script I need to run it through... Jude (talk) 11:41, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Ang.wikisourceeditHi! I didn't know that the Ang: wikisource had been created until you told me about it, so thanks for letting me know! I'll try to put up some things to the en: domain when I can, I'm just wondering if it's the right place to put documents in a foreign language (is Goethe in German or English there?). If there's any help or advice you could offer me on any of the ang: sites, please do! I'm always open to new ideas on wiki. James--66.177.127.7 17:57, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
In future... deletion... etc.edit... Sorry about that - it came out much more salty than I had intended. I don't fault any individual members, and have proposed an alteration to the deletion policy to encourage more contact effort before closing the deletion. I would very much appreciate it if you could restore the documents temporarily so I can grab the formatting, and I will do the work on the alternate sourcing (and Ideally get a GFDL-compatible license issued from the archives department at hte Baha'i World Centre on the other texts as well, if possible). Thank you so much for getting back to me, and please forgive my tone of frustration, which was in no way intended personally. (Guess I should apologize to zhalashar too. <sigh>) --Christian Edward Gruber 16:50, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
Please accept my apologies for my ignorance regarding Emerson's Self-Reliance. I will be more careful when tagging things in the future. --Varco 16:27, 16 June 2006 (UTC) It's been AFD'd from every project (besides Wikiquote, basically), with each vote saying that the page belongs on a different project; so I couldn't just re-add it to Wikipedia, and I doubt they are yet taking lists of victims anyways. Nobody has any clue what they're doing around here. Oh well. That was a waste of a good month :) — BRIAN0918 • 2006-06-21 22:10 Transwikis to WikisourceeditHi Birgitte, got your message about sending stuff to Wikisource. If there are some particular ones I've sent over that you want to review the copyright status, could you let me know? I might have overlooked a copyright check, or might have another reason or other. Thank you very much! TheProject 21:53, 22 June 2006 (UTC) Removal of Copyvio noticeseditWhen you remove a tag speeedy delete by reason of copyvio [1] , please list as a normal copyvio. Although a source is needed to fulfill the speedy delete criteria, the lack of one does not make it any less of a copyright infringment. Thanks. --Birgitte§β ʈ Talk 16:03, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Re:Wikisource accounteditThank you for the update. Can this be fixed?--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 19:07, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
TranswikiingeditThanks for pointing me to the transwiki instruction page--I should have realized there had to be more to the process than just copying and pasting. I'll get right on sorting that out. --RobthTalk 23:13, 24 June 2006 (UTC) Thanks for taking the time!editI hadn't noticed you'd also put a reasoned response on the RFA talk page at first. Cool. Thank you for taking the time to discuss things on the Sean Black RFA. People should do that more. Especially when they're being as logical and polite (which you are!) :-) Notice that I'm not saying that anyone is out for revenge or any such thing. Just that RFA is biased towards people who have had bad experiences with a candidate. I sometimes have a tendency to put things briefly and a tad crudely. Perhaps I have to be just a tad more careful, as it takes a lot more time to explain exactly what I meant after doing so. (It does attract attention of course, so it's a tricky tradeoff :-)) Kim Bruning 22:40, 22 July 2006 (UTC) I wanted to point out that I have come across many cases of clear copyright violations which do not qualify for the speedy deletion criteria. Generally it is because they are older than 48 hours; as I do not participate in RC patrol, I guess I don't find the new ones. However most of the violations I have found would also fail the "commercial" requirement even if they were new enough. With that in mind I find the advice to use speedy clear copyright violations misleading.--Birgitte§β ʈ Talk 21:20, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
HowdyeditHey Jen! Didn't hear from you: how was your dinner that night? We (the 10 of us) had pizzas in this Italian restaurant just off Harvard Square. Where did you go and with whom? You have to give me evidence, though - you've passed on your "show-me" disease to me ;) Cheers. --Filip (§) 19:36, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
Alleged copyvioeditGreetings. You seem upset with me. It's a shame that dealing with the backlog at WP:CP is often such a thankless task. Wikipedia does try to respect the copyrights of other nations, in the sense that we consider works created in Iran to be copyrighted even though those copyrights are not enforceable here. But as Wikipedia servers are in Florida, we do not recognize the copyrights of works whose copyright is considered to have expired in the U.S, or works that are not considered copyrightable here. (Mexico, for example, protects works for 99 years after the death of the author, and France considers photographs of buildings to be violations of the architect's copyright.) This has been hashed through many, many times. See Wikipedia:Public domain for details. I removed the entries because they had been dealt with, not because I was trying to hide anything. All my actions are free for all to see, and I'm quite willing to answer any questions you have. But your hostile tone in talking to me about this issue has not helped the situation. All the best, – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 16:37, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
(several comments later. . .) Thank you so much for your kind note. Your kindness speaks volumes for you. I wish more people were like you. By the way, I think my user page might give people the wrong impression, so I'll reword it so as not to seem flippant. All the best! – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 11:52, 6 September 2006 (UTC) Re: WikisourceeditThanks, I didn't know that... Still, this leaves Xcopilot in an unfortunate condition: I feel that the how-to section does not belong there, yet it appears to be unsuitable for Wikisources. Is there any solution other than cutting it out? GregorB 13:03, 6 September 2006 (UTC) Lefebvre BiographyeditThank you very much for going to the trouble of finding this. JASpencer 17:29, 12 September 2006 (UTC) Estate of Martin Luther King, Jr., Inc. v. CBS, Inc.editThanks for your clarification to that article (and the speech article itself). My last edits to the article were based on news articles, which of course are never wrong! :-S Just a favor, if you could, would you look at the Desiderata article and see what you think? We have the copyright office saying that a court ruling in a similar "distribution without notice" case invalidated the copyright, and the text is in the article, but it also implies that the ruling isn't universal (support for which I haven't actually found). --Dhartung | Talk 17:18, 13 September 2006 (UTC) Lefebvre FootnoteseditThank you for the amazing amount of work that you have put into this. It really is appreciated. JASpencer 21:59, 16 September 2006 (UTC) English ManorseditBecause it's an essay, and not a Wikipedia article. In any case, it doesn't belong here. ♠PMC♠ 19:03, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
Pleaseedit...don't leave us over an edit war. An unfortunate fact of Wikipedia is that we sometimes get a lot of heated debate over some relatively minor issue. I hope you won't let it 'get' to you. I find that reading this tends to help at times. Have a good weekend! >Radiant< 08:13, 6 October 2006 (UTC) WP:VeditBirgitte, I'm sorry for the reverting back and forth at V yesterday. I think it was partly misunderstanding, partly frustration because the page needs to be stable, and partly me not paying proper attention. I hope you'll accept my apology and join us back at the page. SlimVirgin (talk) 10:56, 6 October 2006 (UTC) music notationeditSadly, GUIDO music notation doesn't appear to be an active project; their last update is 2003, which is about the last time I looked at it. I started using it briefly because I was looking for something that could represent a score in a way that could be manipulated by composition-type programs, while GNU Lilypond is more typesetting oriented. As far as I know the only commonly used and reasonably fully-featured computer score formats are GNU Lilypond, Sibelius, and Finale, and the last two are commercial software (and expensive commercial software at that). Short- to medium-term, I'd say getting some security-cleaned-up version of Lilypond is the only feasible option. In the long term, there's an MPEG working group trying to come up with a new standard, but I don't think that's very close to happening. --Delirium 23:29, 9 October 2006 (UTC) Hi Birgitte, thanks, that's very kind of you and I particularly appreciate it coming from you. It's been a very fruitful collaboration on that page; a model of how Wikipedia can and should work, in fact. (That's can and should work, not can and must. ;-D). SlimVirgin (talk) 21:54, 13 October 2006 (UTC) A panel about wikipedia - sister projectseditHi, I am assembling a panel of 5 that will talk about wikipedia in general. I am planing of making of covering it in 5 topics:
The panel will be a part of a more general Internet conferance that will be held 21-23 December 2006 in Ankara, Turkey. I am looking for a person to cover the "sister projects" topic. And I was told that you would be an approporate person for the job. --Cat out 21:16, 15 October 2006 (UTC) Policy debateeditThe first thing I have to answer is: "yet we are told that it is a widely held objection". Look back through the postings. Taxman, JzG, Andrew Levine—these are not casual, one-off editors objecting; if you think it's a problem now, imagine it becomes policy—believe me, you'd have your hands full with the objections. Part of my thinking has been how wrong it is that a party of people (you and me included) numbering in the single digits is going to "decide" this. We aren't—we can streamline what is, but new, radical innovations are not on the radar IMO (I do view the exception as "radical"). Even SlimVirgin (not to put words in her mouth) I see as ambivalent regarding, rather than truly in favour of, the pop culture exception. That off my chest, yes, maybe "accredited" is better. Jules is suggesting that people might read "professional" in the "I-get-paid-for-it" sense, but I don't see this; I only read "professional" that way when thinking of athletes and (maybe) of musicians. I read it in this context as "acceptable for a .edu or a journalism site"--i.e., regardless of whether you get paid, others (especially places of publication) would acknowledge your "credentials" and accept your work as "in the ballpark." I think through that...and, yes again, "accredited" is broadly what I mean. I just want to be able to say to a pseudoscientist, Nature wouldn't recognize you, even if you're "right". You just don't have the wherewithal to state "Z is A" in a general purpose work...(e.g., a tertiary encyclopedia such as Wikipedia). Our policies need to clearly say this. While on this topic, let me state that aliens and astrology were not meant to be glib—pseudoscientists will see through the slightest contradiction in policy and badger the hell out of you on talk pages. I don't want this exception b/c I can imagine, in a very practical sense, the shit it will cause. If perhaps we can agree on this adjective, be aware that others will scream bloody murder. Frankly, I think some just don't want a policy, or at least want a caveat within policy that would render policy moot. I believe (difficult as it's been) that you want clarity—good. I want clarity—a clear policy that speaks to most examples but doesn't pretend it can speak to every example. I don't want a page that says "here are the rules—and BTW if you don't like them, forget them". Marskell 23:31, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
ChalukyaseditSir, I have condensed the matter in Chalukya dynasty page as per your requirement.Dineshkannambadi 02:24, 23 October 2006 (UTC) Sorry!!editThanks for your time Madam. Let me explain what exactly i have done so it will be easy for you. The dynasty of Chalukyas starts with Badami Chalukyas. So I have given a brief detail of the overall Chalukya Dynasty at the header. Then I have gone in detail explaining about Badami Chalukyas on the same page since they are the "original" Chalukyas, created "sister pages" for Kalyani Chalukya and Eastern Chalukyas going into details in each of the sister pages. In the main page called "Chalukya Dynasty" I have elaborated on Badami Chalukyas as they were the first dynasty. If you still feel there is ambiguity of any sort , dont hesitate to let me know.

I noticed that the peer review discussion page has been archived. Did you have a chance to look at it? Please help me bring this article to featured article stage if possible.Dineshkannambadi 21:39, 7 November 2006 (UTC) ochseditThanks for your note - I don't really care much about that link - it wasn't my addition as I said. But I think that editor was high-handed and I don't appreciate being threatened - this link has been there for a while, and only came up because some anonymous person removed it without discussion. I was looking for some other opinions from editors of that page before a decision was made to remove it. Anyway, thanks for the pointer to the admin area. Tvoz 05:26, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
Óengus I of the PictseditHello ! A while back you commented on Óengus I of the Picts at peer review. I've tried to address a couple of the points that you raised by adding some background and another map. Just wanted to thank you for your helpful comments. The background won't really be fixed properly until I have written an article that can appear as a {{main}} thing at the top of the section. I've been doing that off and on for months, so it may take a while yet ! Thanks again, Angus McLellan (Talk) 00:34, 17 November 2006 (UTC) Featured ListseditHi ...

TranswikieditNo problem. I actually have no idea what I should have done to complete the transwiki procedure, I was already happy that I could do as much as I did :) But now that we're at it, could you clarify how the copyright status of the text in question should be sorted out? The points unclear for me are:

List of cetaceanseditActually I think most of the maps were done before i joined to project, but yeah, that's a good idea. I will have a look at that and try to get the Arctic and Antarctic species on polar projections. Chris_huhtalk 12:48, 23 November 2006 (UTC) This is what you wrote me for my peer request on the lei tai article: "I found this article hard to read beacuse of the "lightness" of the prose. Many areas end up just stating a fact and a source rather tham truly being written in prose despite being formatted as a paragragh. All the things on bullet points should be within a paragragh with more details as to why the idea is notable." Could you please pinpoint some of the areas that you found the most troubling in regards to your well appreciated comments? Thank you.

Kelly Martin (talk) 15:46, 6 December 2006 (UTC) TrollseditWe tolerate trolls too long - and they are the biggest source of busy work and negative productivity on Wikipedia. Personally, I have only called 2 people trolls, and both times I am sure they are. You are probably right that the truth is not a defense to a personal attack; however, we should not tolerate the activities of trolls, and here we are doing just that and wasting our time discussing their BS. --Trödel 03:46, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Your commentary on my talk pageeditAdmins don't have to be asked to delete some comments so I shouldn't have to ask that personal attacks against me be removed. There appears to be some bias by admins here. There are admins already involved who seem to 'conveniently' allow certain editors to do as they wish; if those admins won't 'protect' me I will be forced to do it myself. Be Bold !, you know?

Bot blockededitI have blocked your User:BirgitteSB-prod bot account for mass-prodding pages on the basis that they were unreferenced. Many, if not most, of these articles could be expected to survive an AfD request unanimously, if not be speedy kept. To quote from the proposed deletion policy, "This process should only be used for articles that are uncontroversial deletion candidates that obviously do not belong in the encyclopedia but do not meet the criteria for speedy deletion." Many of the tagged articles could not possibly have even been argued to come under this criterion. Please find some other means of handling unreferenced articles. Rebecca 01:18, 3 June 2007 (UTC) 
Block message: Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "BirgitteSB-prod". The reason given for BirgitteSB-prod's block is: "Mass-prodding pages at random for being unreferenced, many indisputable notable. Decline reason: You have been blocked directly as stated in your block log. Since you have not provided a reason for being unblocked, your request has been declined.

So how exactly did you determine I was prodding articles at random by a bot. If you looked at my talk page you would reallize I cannot even sucessfully program my own signature. I am signing off for the night but someone please copy this to Rebecca's talk page. Rebecca, you seriously need to think about what you are doing with the block button. You need to be certain you reasoning is sound and you need to know how blocking actually works regarding the IP.--BirgitteSB 01:56, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
I did not realise that it was a manually-operated account; I had assumed, based on the nature of the edits, that it must have been automated. Being that you're actually making these edits yourself, I urge you to re-read the proposed deletion policy, specifically "This process should only be used for articles that are uncontroversial deletion candidates that obviously do not belong in the encyclopedia but do not meet the criteria for speedy deletion." Your edits included a very well-known Australian massacre, the main street of a major city, a major railway station, an English town, a prominent Chinese Marxist thinker, a prominent Russian musicologist and a prominent Macedonian writer. How on earth did you get to the conclusion that they were "uncontroversial deletion candidates"? There is not a chance in hell that any of those I've listed would have been deleted via AfD.

If you did, any comments or suggestions would be welcome at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Oxidative phosphorylation. All the best, Tim Vickers 17:27, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
Chemiosmosis is the mechanism by which oxidative phosphorylation occurs. Oxidation is linked to phosphorylation by pumping ions across membranes and then letting them flow back across membranes, try to think about it like an electrical circuit - it's a remarkably accurate analogy. Tim Vickers 20:26, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
NOReditNo, thanks for calling it to my attention. I'll revert if you haven't already, Slrubenstein | Talk 17:42, 28 August 2007 (UTC) NOReditIt's been a long time since I worked on the main policy page. When I look at the edit differences you singled out, I have to say I am not mad about either version. Frankly, I prefer the version I last worked on: [2] - this is an edit change but just look at the section under Sources - I tried to be precise and keep it simple. It may be that my style is just out of sync with others. But I think all the more recent versions, in tryng to explain things, just provide vague or unclear examples that muddy the waters. Now, to address specifics:
These princples pretty much cover it for me. I think the simpler and more straightforward the policy, the better. My sense is that some of these conflicts come from others in the past having added examples and explanations that are vague or sloppy and invite confusion and dissent. Slrubenstein | Talk 23:24, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
As to primary and secondary sources, I have my own view and it is pretty simple (to me!). Primary sources are any recorded and verifiable documentation or source of information:
A secondary source is any verifiable source that analyzes, synthesizes, interprets or explains a primary source, or uses a primary source to analyze, synthesize, interpret or explain some phenomenon. In other words, it forwards a particular view of information, or uses information to forward a particular view. I would keep it simple and try not to add anything more to these, or as little as possible. policies should not themselves include explanations of policies and I think people kept adding their own interpretation of the policy into the policy and that is when things went south. Keep the policy as clear as possible. i know people thought that they were clarifying things by inserting explanations and interpretations of the policy, but what they added I think just confused people and created more controversy. Key to understanding these definitions is that the focus is on how they are used. So it is conceivable that the same document can be both a primary or a secondary source depending on how it is used. The Biblical book of Chronicles when it was written no doubt drew on a variety of sources and in its time would have been considered a secondary source. Today however it itself has been the object of scrutiny by clerics and theologians, as well as by literary critics and historians - in this context, it is a primary source. Capiche? Anyway, it now seems like there are two major sources of contention: what is the difference of primary and secondary sources, and should the policy privilege the use of secondary sources. Is there a third? A fourth? I urge you guys to settle on two or three clearly defined points of contention, create new sections for each on, archive the old talk, and try to lay out the arguments and alternatives systematically. The way the talk page is currently organized I can't see how any progress will be made. Slrubenstein | Talk 13:13, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
I've significantly revised my proposal, in an attempt to reflect legitimate concerns raised on all sides on the policy talk page. A major change is dropping the language discussing primary, secondary and tertiary sources. I try to rely on the "reliable third-party publications" distinction made by Wikipedia:Verifiability that has a clear and exceedingly broad consensus. Please take a look over the new draft and let me know your thoughts (User:Vassyana/Sources proposal). I'm interested in soliciting some feedback before submitting the revised proposal. Thanks! Vassyana 23:19, 30 August 2007 (UTC) please explainedit" don't know what you think I have been "contending"." - Brigitte, I do not follow you. Where do I say I think you are contending something? Slrubenstein | Talk 14:08, 30 August 2007 (UTC) When I ask if your position is under contention, I mean, are there people who disagree with you, who are contending your point? You seem to be defensive and I do not understand why. Have I in any way attacked you personally, or your position? Slrubenstein | Talk 14:10, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
please do not worry about it. We (dedicated veterans) have all had bad days here and you don't need to explain - I am just glad we could sort it out in less than 12 hours - in the past some times it has taken me weeks to work out the dumbest little things! I will check in on the policy when I can because I really care about it and I mean it, let me know what you think I can do to be more supportive and/or constructive. Slrubenstein | Talk 15:38, 30 August 2007 (UTC) Well-wisheseditI saw you note you were having a rough day and I just wanted deliver a few hugs, smiles and assurances that your presence is highly valued. Be well!!! Vassyana 21:51, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
A new day at NOR TalkeditAs you see, I archived a good deal of the talk in an atempt to focus the discussion in order to resolve some issues one at a time. I hope you agree this is a constructive move. COGDEN recently restored over 180,000 bytes of talk I had archived. Even having archived, the talk page is rapidly reaching the optimum length for a talk page prior to archiving! I believe COGDEN restored archived talk in order to prevent a resolution of any conflict, because it would enable him to dominate the talk without actually reaching any agreement. I believe there are a few editors who have made it clear they simply do not support the policy. If they restore archived talk as a way of avoiding addressing the issues, I will rearchive it. If you object I would appreciate knowing. if you think this is reasonable, I would appreciate your keeping an eye on the matter too. Thanks, Slrubenstein | Talk 19:40, 31 August 2007 (UTC) I saw - thanks! I added my two cents. But perhaps I would insist that any thread re-introduced be relevant to what is now on the page ... or be defered until we resolve some issues, archive, and then be re-introduced. Slrubenstein | Talk 19:50, 31 August 2007 (UTC) Perhaps you are right. What I hsve seen has led me to question the good faith of some editors - but I could be wrong; I hope so. That a tak page shoul dnot reach seven or eight huncred kbs is another matter! Anyway, f you think you can guide people towards some sort of agreement, more power to you and I would be glad to see you succede. Slrubenstein | Talk 21:10, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
May be of interest to youeditDue to discussion with Slrubenstein, I realized I was making a somewhat novel distinction for reliable sources, though I believe such an analysis is firmly rooted in existing policy. I've raised those concerns about distinction at the appropriate place. Since my idea of those concepts was fleshed out based on ideas you presented, I thought the discussion might interest you. Cheers! Vassyana 21:43, 31 August 2007 (UTC) NOR and LighthouseseditA bit more on the lighthouse sourcing business: Both the Coast Guard pages and lighthousefriends are essentially of the "local historical society" ilk. Robert de Gast's book is really a work of coffee table photography, but the quality of background work has made it one of the standard references. However, all of these works have mistakes in them, and one simply has to exert some level of judgment in choosing which to believe. It's not entirely possible to avoid some level of synthesis in doing this-- the dreaded "original" of "NOR". As I said, I ran into some problems with the locations of these structures. The USCG site gives them descriptively; de Gast uses snippets of charts. Lighthousefriends gives lat/long coordinates, but in some cases these were inaccurate, and in at least one case they were just flat-out wrong. And since they only discussed extant lights, my choice for the destroyed lights was to work from charts and Google Earth (or something similar), or simply omit locations. We cannot justify including patently incorrect information. I checked LHF's coordinates because I could, and because I am conscientious about fact-checking. And since I could check them, I used charts and Google Earth to obtain coordinates for the destroyed structures as far as I could, approximate where necessary, but exact where the location could be exactly determined. I don't consider this "original research" in the sense that the policy was formulated to counter. Indeed, I'm starting to conclude that part of the issue is that people do not (for various reasons) understand what is and is not research. I have some further to add but my son is anxious for me to get him home, so I'll have to break here. Mangoe 00:01, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
NOR favoreditHi. I have created a new page, Wikipedia: Proposal to replace No Original Research. Can you go over the talk on the now too long talk page for NOR and identify any talk you think belongs with this nascent proposal, and move it to its' talk page? I will ask Dreadstar and Jossi to do the same. I have already done a fair amount of refactoring at the talk page, and given that I just created this new proposal page, I would rather trust someone else's judgement as to what talk, specifically, to move. Thanks, Slrubenstein | Talk 12:39, 1 September 2007 (UTC) favoreditSince others are taking stabs at rewriting this policy, I have decided to try my own.

Empress Gemmei Daijo Tennoedit
The first to style herself "Daijō Tennō" was Empress Jitō (持統天皇, Jitō-tennō) in 697. Also, Empress Gemmei (元明天皇, Genmei-tennō) abdicated and took the title "Daijō Tennō" in Wadō 8 (715). Neither women did anything post-abdication which turned out to be anything like the cloistered rule of Emperor Shirakawa in Heian era Japan .... In my view, it would be inappropriate to merge Cloistered rule and Daijō Tennō at this time. --Ooperhoofd 23:19, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
