Your edits to ΔT

Nomenclature in Wikipedia follows that found in reliable sources. If you read the numerous reliable sources in the ΔT article you will see that the letter "T" in this expression is capitalized. Jc3s5h (talk) 15:12, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

http://www.periodni.com/international_system_of_units.html, And although you are correct in many cases it does not matter there is a difference and when doing calculations in thermodynamics manys times delta t and delta T will be used and if the two are switched or confused things manufactured for the space ship or airplanes well no one would like what would happen

I've taken the liberty of moving your response to the left margin; text entered into the Wikipedia editor should almost always begin at the left margin. I also used a colon to indent it.

The expert you cited, Eni Generalić, does not appear to be an expert in astronomy, so is not the ideal type of source to cite. Even if the professor is a suitable source, the web page states " Note that symbols for quantities are only recommendations, in contrast to symbols for units whose style and form is mandatory". Obviously the astronomy community has not followed the recommendation.

Another subtlety is that ΔT is the difference between terrestrial time (TT) and universal time (UT). For all practical purposes, the number of seconds in an interval stated in TT are SI seconds, but the number of seconds in an interval stated in UT are not SI seconds. So ΔT is a difference between a quantity measured in SI units and another quantity measured in non-SI units. Thus documents about SI are not especially applicable.

I apologize as i am new to this but what I am trying to state has nothing to do with UT and TT it is the title. You are correct about the UT and TT I am trying to say that if I search for ΔT as opposed to Δt I should find a page about the difference (drop or rise) in temp. Some things on the page such as delta T to delta t would or very least should be changed. If the title is not changed I cannot create a page named ΔT in regards to the diff. in temp associated with thermodynamics it would have to be named Δt. Any high school level physics student would immediately recognize this as difference in time and after reading the page would realize it had nothing to do with that! I will find something to cite as I am busy to prove that any scientist worth there skin would know if ΔT, and Δt were placed together in same article what difference would be and please feel free to find a source that will tell you ΔT means change in time not to mention the International standardized system of units, symbols, letters and there meanings will always state t=time.

I am honestly only trying to make a page ΔT about change in temp regarding thermodynamics that will not be confused with another wikipedia page titled same name speaking about Universal time. Honestly I have yet to find anything here at school that suggests ΔT in that form means time. UT or TT yes and also Δt. ΔT is different than Δt.

The title suggests change in temperature and the use of ΔT=UT-TT in the wiki is not really correct because the publishings you cite trying to explain difference in universal and terrestrial time (relative and the point)are although accepted scientists by themselves are not the BIPM or have standardized any units, prefixes or anything for that matter UT and UTC and TAI are accepted ways of expressing times http://www.bipm.org/en/scientific/tai/ http://www.bipm.org/en/scientific/tai/time_server.html As you will see in every calculation time is t not T (http://www.bipm.org/utils/en/events/iers/Petit_PP3.pdf) Please cite an accepted publication where ΔT=UT-TT is an acceptable equation like pythagoream theorem or d = vt + (1/2)at².

I am really only trying to get the title changed so if looking lor the defintion of change in time as opposed to change in temperature you will find either Δt OR ΔT respectively. But I would love to know if the astronomy community disagrees with the International bureau of weights and measures where nowhere does it say the web page states " Note that symbols for quantities are only recommendations, in contrast to symbols for units whose style and form is mandatory".

The sources in the article make it absolutely clear that ΔT is a significant term in astronomy, and that it means UT-TT. It is also important to bear in mind that Wikipedia is not a dictionary, so no effort is made to define every word and symbol. Certainly ΔT can be used to mean a difference in temperature, but it is not clear there is anything to say about it that isn't already covered at the Temperature article.

There is a note at the top of the article referring to the ΔT (disambiguation) page, which lists various other meanings for ΔT and Δt, and articles related to the other meanings. Jc3s5h (talk) 05:14, 2 November 2013 (UTC).

Assuming good faith is a fundamental principle on Wikipedia. It is the assumption that editors' edits and comments are made in good faith. Most people try to help the project, not hurt it. I after reading your page you hate being wrong. Well disambiguation links on wikipedia mean:

Disambiguation in Wikipedia is the process of resolving the conflicts that arise when a single term is ambiguous—when it refers to more than one topic covered by Wikipedia. (A "topic covered by Wikipedia" is either the main subject of an article, or a minor subject covered by an article in addition to the article's main subject.) For example, the word "Mercury" can refer to an element, a planet, a Roman god, and many other things. There are three important aspects to disambiguation:

Naming articles in such a way that each has a unique title. For example, three of the articles dealing with topics ordinarily called "Mercury" are titled Mercury (element), Mercury (planet) and Mercury (mythology).
Making the links for ambiguous terms point to the correct article title. For example, an editor of an astronomy article may have created a link to Mercury, and this should be corrected to point to Mercury (planet).
Ensuring that a reader who searches for a topic using a particular term can get to the information on that topic quickly and easily, whichever of the possible topics it might be. For example, the page Mercury is a disambiguation page—a non-article page which lists the various meanings of "Mercury" and links to the articles which cover them. (As discussed below, however, ambiguous terms do not always require a disambiguation page.)

Well 1- ΔT only refers to one page and only one topic as ΔT.

2- Your article doesn't have a unique title such as ΔT (Diff. in time) or (ΔT=UT-TT)

3- Although until now the page didn't require disambiguousterms it now does because it will have links to

Change in temp. in heat sinks, in ambient temp regarding HVAC etc, change in time for Velocity, for acceleration, for nerve impules etc.

Since you have not followed the rules of "disambiguation" at all and just changed your title or worked with me;

Making the edits to your so called correct ΔT site daily;

Doing anything I can to change the title without you and having you removed as a user but if nothing else;

Allowing my wife whose a journalist to finally write the article about how you cannot believe what you read on wikipedia because of people like you and if this what i once trused site goes to the wayside you and I will know why. Might not be overnight but you know same as I what made this smart, will make it "stupid". Irrelevant today

The policy for changing the name of a title is explained at WP:Article titles#Considering title changes. You would have to obtain consensus on Talk:Delta T before changing the title. Jc3s5h (talk) 16:43, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
