Ulam

edit

Hi

I have copyedited the Stanislaw Ulam article. I realise that you added a lot of interesting material and I have put it more in context with the rest of the article. I had to delete some of it as it was repetitions of previous paragraphs; such as "he realised ... chain reaction" etc. The best parts I kept though and moved them to the section on Manhattan Project to put it into context and in the right chronological order.

I hope you are happy that it is in better shape now and shows how ulam was responsible for the main ideas that both started the project and refined the bomb and its fission process. I have added a lot of citation tags as something as strong as "led to the ...projects" needs to be verified with a source.

I also noticed that you had done some work a few years ago on the One Thousand Children article which did not have inline citations. It is also normal that we do not write capitals into each word of a title or section header unless it is a proper name. "The History Of Ukraine" should be "The history of Ukraine", and "Lord Of The Rings" should be "Lord of the Rings" as it's published title was :¬)

If you want to add references to the articles it is best to not just ass the book at the end but to actually put a ref tag in which will automatically get listed in the "references" section at the bottom of the page.

If you have any questions by all means get in touch on my talk page and I will be more than happy to assist you in learning how it is all done or with any other query. Your additions were good, and I really liked the explanation of a chain reaction, although I had to remove most of it I am afraid as it was not really relevent to Ulam and was more along the lines of text from an article on atom bmbs or nuclear reactions in general.

Comments on Hidden Children article

Hello - I have left some comments at Talk:Hidden Children that you may be interested in. KConWiki (talk) 15:48, 1 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

THANK YOU VERY MUCH - I have dealt with them. And I greatly valued your suggestion to link with Children in the Holocaust

One Thousand Children

edit

Hi. Just wanted to explain the edits I did on One Thousand Children. While it's difficult to not admire the efforts of the people involved, Wikipedia must still try to report things neutrally, and let the reader decide what "most important". Peppering the article with statements like these is editorialising and should be avoided. Also use of words like "heroic" isn't a neutral tone. You also shouldn't put references on sections headings. It causes problems on things like screen readers for the blind and tablets. Hope I didn't mess any of the article up! --Escape Orbit (Talk) 22:22, 2 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

I understand about the adjectives.

I hope, when you removed references from a section title, you did always save the reference and simply moved it to the main text? It would be very bad if I lost the reference. (I may not even have a private copy of it.)

Yes. I moved them. You will also be able to see all your past edits in the revision history. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 22:54, 2 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of United States Committee for the Care of European Children

edit
 

Kacser reply - agreed. there is already a WIKI article U.S. Committee for the Care of European Children - of which I was not aware

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on United States Committee for the Care of European Children requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www2.gwu.edu/~erpapers/teachinger/glossary/uscom.cfm. 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 or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 "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. CrowCaw 19:34, 9 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

One Thousand Children, pt 2

edit

Hi Kacser, I copyedited the lead on One Thousand Children. Your own hatnote is unnecessary. Pointing to the article below is odd, since the lead is a summary of the article body. Giving praise to two websites is completely inappropriate. Echoing what @Escape Orbit: said almost three years ago, it's great that you're taking time to write so much about a topic like this, but please, take a moment to read the WP:MOS. If you need any help, feel free to ask me. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 06:58, 27 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Stuart E. Eizenstat, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Estée Lauder (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Fag, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Faggot. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:09, 22 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

SHORT DESCRIPTION - I HAVE MADE ONE FOR THIS ARTICLE, & I EXPLAIN HOW TO DO THIS GENERALLY

edit

Short description|CHILDREN BY SELVES FLEE HITLER TO USA WW2}

   I have added the short description "above."
   Earlier today, I had not read the long discussion on somebody's talk page about "short Descriptions." It was a good discussion that only came up FOR ME, when I made a change to the previous short description.
   Main point - short description has to make sense when truncated to 40 characters
   TECHNICAL - the instruction must be placed at very very top of entry, above all other "comments!!!!!!!"

instruction in code {{Short description|CHILDREN BY SELVES FLEE HITLER TO USA WW2}}

the instruction must be placed at very very top of entry, above all other "comments!!!!!!!"

Proposed deletion of "Don't Wave Goodbye"

edit
 

The article "Don't Wave Goodbye" has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Book does not meet notability criteria of WP:NBOOK. Furthermore, the article is written in a non-neutral and self-reflective tone.

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

Please consider improving the page 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. ... discospinster talk 20:39, 10 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on One Thousand Children. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. -- Asartea Talk | Contribs 18:21, 13 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule, as you did at One Thousand Children. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Bbb23 (talk) 19:16, 13 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
