Template:WikiProject Polymers banner template

Thanks and well done for making the Template:WikiProject Polymers banner template. We will expand it when we get a chance to include article importance and rating. Right now, I plan on starting to place it at the top of polymer article Talk pages. H Padleckas (talk) 00:31, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 28

Hi. In your recent article edits, you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

List of chemistry mnemonics (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver)

Ionic polymer

First, thank you for your message of appreciation regarding adding the Polymers banner to many polymer article Talk pages.

Next, I've noticed you have edited the Ionomer article recently, and so you may be familiar with ionic polymers. Shall I move the Ionomer article to Ionic polymer, which is empty right now, or shall we keep Ionomer where it is and simply make Ionic polymer a Redirect to Ionomer? H Padleckas (talk) 04:35, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. I am a bit confused. IUPAC Gold Book has different definitions (link). I will quote them here.

Ionic polymer: Polymer composed of macromolecules containing ionic or ionizable groups, or both, irrespective of their nature, content, and location. Synonym: ion-containing polymer

Ionomer: Polymer composed of macromolecules in which a small but significant proportion of the constitutional units has ionic or ionizable groups, or both. Notes: 1. Definition same as definition 1.66, ref. [3]. 2. Ionic groups are usually present in sufficient amounts (typically less than 10 % of constitutional units) to cause micro-phase separation of ionic domains from the continuous polymer phase. The ionic domains act as physical crosslinks

So, it appears that all ionomers are ionic polymers but the reverse is not always true. Hence proceeding with making ionic polymers as main article will be more preferred by Wpedia, I think.Vanischenu m^Talk 08:12, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Re: Speedy renaming of a category

Hello, Vanischenu. You have new messages at Black Falcon's talk page. --20:44, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

warm wishes

i am using wikipedia for many years. but editing is very new to me.

i was studied in Town Higher Secondary School

when i saw the comment "This article is an orphan, as no other articles link to it." i felt bad.

so i added some info. but u ppl undo my data.

How to add colorful letters as u did for vanichenu talkm.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Srinivasan.smart (talk • contribs) 11:45, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

i have two doubts.

Are you superior than normal user?

Do you work for wikipedia? Srinivasan.smart (talk) 11:49, 18 July 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Srinivasan.smart (talk • contribs) 11:40, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind reply.

1) It is easy to add colorful letters. You can type like this <span style="color:red">I want to type in red</span> and the resultant text will be : I want to type in red. You may like to visit Help:Using colours to see more options.

Note: Do not use them on articles, except when they are necessary. Please read WP:Color to know more.

If you want to check what should be typed, you can click on edit article/section, and see what is the markup behind the output (do not click Save page in that case.

2) No I am not a superior user. I am just another user like you and every users in Wikipedia. There is no superiority in Wikipedia. But if you are asking about User rights, there can be different packages for editors. This does not mean one is special or superior to another. But they can experience some permissions. For example an administrator can delete a page but, at this time, both of us cannot.

3) I am a Wikipedian. You are another Wikipedian. see Wikipedia:Wikipedians. I do not contribute to get money. I am not a staff of The Wikimedia Foundation.

Again thank you for taking time to reply. Vanischenu m^Talk 12:55, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Article Feedback newsletter

Hey all!

So, big news this week - on Tuesday, we ramped up to 5 percent of articles :). There's been a lot more feedback (pardon the pun) as I'm sure you've noticed, and to try and help we've scheduled a large number of office hours sessions, including one this evening at 22:00 UTC in the #wikimedia-office ^connect channel, and another at 01:00 UTC for the aussies amongst us :). I hope to see some of you there - if any of you can't make it but have any questions, I'm always happy to help.

Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 20:48, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Do I need to change my habit?

At the top of the page you have asked to click on Save page, but, I personally use Alt⇧ Shifts, do I need to change my habit? :-) BTW, I have replied to your post here --Tito Dutta ✉ 08:48, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Of course not! It is me who is going to have a change in habit. From now on, I will switch from mine to yours :) Vanischenum^Talk 19:41, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Ya, keyboard shortcuts are great. I use mainly a) [ctrl shift S for save] b) [ctrl shift p for preview] c) [...L watchlist] etc. But, there is trouble too: a) I can not mark minor edit by keyobard shortcut, b) When I try to write edit summary using shortcut <alt><shift><|b|>, the text gets selected automatically, so I have to press right arrow once before writing edit summary. Another problem is there is not any shortcut for last change (Twinkle options -->Last (change)

Fun facts, in some system you can save a change more quickly by pressing Tab Enter. Using Facebook, Google Plus, Twitter or Gmail, you can use Tab Enter to quickly post a wall comment/email. 2) after writing edit summary, when the cursor is in edit summary box, just press "enter", it'll be saved. --Tito Dutta ✉ 10:25, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Check my talk's recent history and then Special:Contributions/Teelosdomain. Note reply particularly this topic in this page, not my talk page, or your talk page may be attacked too! --Tito Dutta ✉ 12:15, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank you so much! I have started using them; very helpful for a slow computer like mine which takes time even to scroll up/down. Plus, my mouse's scroll key is not working and I am (was) using pressed-central button to scroll. Now I replaced them with these shortcuts making the contributions fast along with keeping away such distractions :).

Sorry for calling it in a misleading way (outdoor watchlist!!!). Actually, what I meant by it was the watchlist using Special:Recentchangeslinked.

We have aother kind of watchlist at toolserver as external watchlist. That had a replication lag of more than 500 thousand (5 lakh) seconds! And has a limited usage (needs a banner or use only things of a particular categories and not its subcats). The so called outdoor watchlist was made by the following two simple steps,

• Created a page containing only the desired pages to watch. (With wikilnks) (See here)
• Then used Special:Recentchangeslinked (Special:Relatedchanges) with that page as target. (See here)

Isn't it better to welcome vandals to attack talk pages, so that we can catch them early and before doing any harm to articles? But the problem, I think, is we may not notice their attack on us.Vanischenum^Talk 02:12, 23 July 2012 (UTC) modified 09:13, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Which OS you are using? Uninstalling unused/unnecessary software some times help!

Arrow keys in keyboard

Position in your keyboard

If scroll is not working, arrow keys might be helpful! Some people (if, no one, then at least me) suggest to press arrow keys like this

← Fore finger (index finger)

→ Centre finger (middle finger)

↑ Ring finger

↓ Little finger

If it does not help at all, it creates a fine rhythm at least!
--Tito Dutta ✉ 18:41, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. But it has another, though minor, problem - it relies on the position cursor. So if I had put the cursor somewhere, say at the bottom of page, then I will go directly to the bottom itself. Also it has a constant speed. However, pressing the non-working scroll wheel of mouse puts a special navigational aid, whose scroll-speed can be increased by moving away from it. It also allows horizontal movements if the page is wide. But this cannot be used in pdf files where it has to be pressed for ever. Then I have to rely on the arrow keys.

Yeah, I have removed unwanted software, all at once (around 20 GB hard disk space attained). It has improved the speed quite well. Thank you for your kind help. Vanischenum^Talk 01:48, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

When I am editing

• I do not need to keep on pressing arrow keys, press and hold arrow keys (eg.↑ ↓), it works very fast!
• When I am editing (the cursor is in the edit text box), I can press this keyboard combination (little bit difficult: to go to top of the page Tab ↹Tab ↹Home bottom of the page Tab ↹Tab ↹End (this tab key can do lots of things including save page, preview page)
• When I am editing (the cursor is in edit box), I can press CtrlHome and CtrlEnd to go to starting or ending of a line.

When I am not editing

• When I am not editing (the cursor is not in edit box), I can press Home or End button to go to top or bottom of the page

I'll be glad if any of these helps somehow! --Tito Dutta ✉ 06:12, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Yes they worked. But with some little changes. I cannot go bottom or top of a page without pressing ctrl. I must press CtrlHome and CtrlEnd.

In the editing mode with cursor inside edit box,

Home - goes to the beginning of the line where the cursor is placed.

ctrl+Home - goes to beginning of edit box.

Tab ↹Tab ↹ctrl+Home - goes to beginning of page.

When not editing

Home - goes to the beginning of the line where the cursor is placed.

ctrl+Home - goes to beginning of page

But it doesn't matter as it is easy to press ctrl

Thank you so much for this. It is very helpful!

Now I realize that scrolling by holding arrow keys is much easier. Earlier, I relied on pressing the scroll bar, which causes distractions and and occasionally goes out of control. Thank you. Also, I am deeply impressed with the function of tab button. While experimenting it I also noted that when the cursor is placed on the article title and tab button is clicked something similar to following appears,

Editing User talk:Vanischenu (section)

Jumb to: navigation, search

Yes tab is great. This was very much informative. I hope I can learn more!

What next? alt+⇧ Shift+p and then alt+⇧ Shift+s. Thank you so much. I'm now editing like a pro! :)Vanischenum^Talk 07:18, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Some people (if no one, then at least me alt+⇧ Shift+f to go to search box and alt+⇧ Shift+L to got to watchlist! BTW, I did not know we can write a combo key like this {{key press|alt|shift|p}}. I used to write like this {{key press|Ctrl}}{{key press|Home}}. Excellent! Thanks! --Tito Dutta ✉ 12:09, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Invitation to become Guest Reviewer

Currently I am reviewer of Talk:Independence Day (India)/GA1 for Good Article. If you have some time can you please join as a guest reviewer? It is not a difficult task. Read the article Independence Day (India) and if you find some problem, errors or if you have some suggestion/question, write in GA review page Talk:Independence Day (India)/GA1. I am doing main review work. Being a guest reviewer is not very difficult, I think! --Tito Dutta ✉ 15:32, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

I am willing to do it. Thank you so much for the invitation, but not sure if I qualifies for it. Hopefully, I will take some preparations and gain confidence. I attempted to find if there is any problems but only got a few which are listed here.

• Disambiguation needed for the word ramparts in the lead. (A little bit of strange word, so it may receive visits from the article).
• Muslim league has been linked in a section and its immediate subsection

Very minor problems that may not be even considered.

• Nehru, as you have pointed, is linked twice very closely. There is another nehru which comes first and just before the quotation but unlinked. Shall we move the two links to this or place them only at the quotation.
• The same problem is present for republic day (first unlinked but second linked, both very near)

In the mean time, I will try to find more. Thank you.Vanischenum^Talk 22:33, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Awesome, I saw this in dabchecker but, don't know how I missed. The article editors Please go ahead and add points in Talk:Independence Day (India)/GA1 (1) use level 3 (===Heading=== 2) You don't need to add those importance marker etc, you can write in plain words). --Tito Dutta ✉ 08:06, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank you.

When I posted this only ramparts was there. Now there is Muslim league who needs disambiguation! Vanischenum^Talk 08:16, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Comment

What about including a see also section and putting the Independence Day (Pakistan) in it. Since these articles reflects shares some history, a link to it might be helpful.

Redirects to Luís Capela

Thanks for mentioning these redirects at WP:RFD; as you may have seen, they were deleted some days ago. In the future, if you find a page that redirects to a nonexistent page, you can take a faster course than RFD — while there's nothing wrong with sending them there, you can tag such a redirect with {{db-g8}}, and it will probably be deleted much faster than if you'd gone through RFD. Nyttend (talk) 02:56, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for informing me about it. I have replied more on your talk page.Vanischenum^Talk 15:34, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

On another subject — could you modify your signature slightly? It's virtually impossible to go directly to your talk page; the link to email you (at least when viewed in IE 8) almost completely covers it. I can see the "talk" bit, of course, but the browser only wants to go to the email page. Nyttend (talk) 23:46, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

(talk page stalker)There is not any problem in (when viewed from Firefox). Most probably, IE8 is not supporting it (if IE8 does not support text shadow or CSS3, you'll face some trouble in my signature too). I can't check it since I do not have IE8. --Tito Dutta ✉ 23:57, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank you both for pointing it out. I am using Seamonkey, another version of Firefox; and in it it works the way I wish to. But in GChrome, (I switch to it for twinkle and popups - which sometimes does not load in seamonkey), it is slightly weird but still good. And hey, I checked IE8 by Softpedia and it looked perfectly aligned. And then I tried to click on it and found the real weirdness. Though it looks perfect in appearance, one cannot click it as the whole area is covered by the link to email.

NB: I am myself jaguaring this talk page, and wish to be tigering one day :)

AFT5 newsletter

Hey again all :). So, some big news, some small news, some good news, some bad news!

On the "big news" front; we've now deployed AFT5 on to 10 percent of articles, This is pretty awesome :). On the "bad news", however, it looks like we're having to stop at 10 percent until around September - there are scaling issues that make it dangerous to deploy wider. Happily, our awesome features engineering team is looking into them as we speak, and I'm optimistic that the issues will be resolved.

For both "small" and "good" news; we've got another office hours session. This one is tomorrow, at 22:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office ^connect - I appreciate it's a bit late for Europeans, but I wanted to juggle it so US east coasters could attend if they wanted :). Hope to see you all there!

Re: Drop by tee house

Hello! (target user name), you're invited to join other new editors and the friendly hosts in the Teahouse – an great place to meet people, ask questions, and learn more about Wikipedia. Please join us! (sign)

This is the format. Sorry if I am wrong, shouldn't we change "an" to "a" in "Teahouse – an great place to meet people,". Thank you. Vanischenum^Talk 01:37, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

'A' is correct. 'An' is used before a word beginning with a vowel or vowel sound. For example,'an hour' is correct because the h is silent in spoken English so hour begins with a vowel sound. 'A horse' is correct because the h sound is pronounced in spoken English. This is one of the oddities of English that make it difficult to learn.

Please create a userpage for yourself. User Pluma provided good instruction in his FUN STUFF page. Most important is to list the languages that you know using Wikipedia Babel. Your English is advanced, EN-3, but what is your native language? With what other languages can you communicate or edit in Wikipedia? Those who speak, read and write in multiple languages are extremely important to the Wikimedia movement. I hope you will provide information on the languages you can use. Take care, DocTree (talk) 02:22, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Ah! Sorry for providing insufficient info. What I actually meant was that the teahouse invitation is using the article an before the word great. Again sorry for not pointing it out. I know you have a number of teahouse invitation templates and the one I was referring to is what you placed on User talk:Nflemin2. To make it clear: that invitation is using "an" before the word "great" and I was proposing to correct it. I hope this helps you. Vanischenum^Talk 02:45, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

I understand now. The group at the Teahouse is experimenting with changing greetings and invitations. Current templates are at [Meta] for an experiment and Templates and Invite Guide and probably some other places. Thank you for pointing out my error. I will be more careful to check grammar and spelling in templates before I post them. The Teahouse is still an experiment to see if more personal help will retain more new editors. I was among those retained and hope to help them succeed. Take care, DocTree (talk) 02:44, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

New editor? Who? Vanischenu? Actually, he has another account from which he edits occasionally, see the account. Every account is special. --Tito Dutta ✉ 00:55, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank you so much. So, can I put 3 ribbons for this?

Yes Tito is correct; actually I has another account named Valchemishnu, which I had quit. (And I created this one on the next day.)

The main reason for the discontinuation was that I had a user page. My userpage was filled with some views of me about this world and wishes which may trigger anyone to think that I should be hospitalized immediately. (Actually there were many occasions in real life where some of my friends will tell me seriously about the same:). Also some of the edits I made were so foolish^[1] that I felt ashamed of me myself.

But months later, I came to see the sock puppet page, and wanted to take this account back. By this time I had forgotten my password. The email ID was a dedicated one - which I discontinued along with this. However I was able to secure the ID back and hence the account a week ago.

Then I tried to delete the userpage, first using an email to prevent it counting as an edit. I had done no edits with the former after the creation of this account (actually I did not even signed in). Then I realized that I should request it using the account itself, sacrificing the edit count and requested to delete the pages yesterday—just a few hours before dear Dwaipayan posted this comment.^[2][3] Today I saw your comments and went on to confirm both are the same (after having deleted one more sub page). (Look) Thank you. I hope this will also explain why I haven't created a user page yet :) Vanischenu^『m/_Talk』 09:36, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

He he. Then that means I would have to take them back into my watchlist :).

I think, unless making a special page for it, this tool would bring little help. WProjects desperately needs them^{Citation needed desperately}. So what about requesting the respective authorities to create one? Would that be technically possible? It's good to see that they have created 2 -probably unuseful- special pages for it. I think these two pages will have a reverse effect by decreasing contributions by making active editors more engaged in clicking Like and  Dislike on the feedbacks.

NML Cygni

NML Cygni is the largest known star with 1650 solar radii (1650 times larger than Sun). Since there was not any article on the biggest star, I have started the article stub. Though I have read few journal articles, still continuing it single handedly is not my cup of tea/coffee/milk/watre. Could you please help a little bit in this biggest star's article (if it survives)? If we can add some good content it'll be suer shot and one of the best DYKs pointing "largest star, 1650 solar radii etc etc)--Tito Dutta ✉ 03:14, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, I don't think we can take it to DYK status in next 2–3 days. Still creating the article on the largest known star is a joy, see List_of_largest_known_stars#List.

Sorry for the delay. –it took us only 13.75 ± 0.11 billion years to create an article on NML Cygni (of course NML Cygni was not born right after big bang, but, I don't know age of NML Cygni, so let' consider 13.75 ± 0.11 billion years (maximum). So, no worries if it takes some more time to expand it. If you are ready you can go ahead and copy paste the infobox. Else I need to provide attribution (since your post here is under CC SA etc etc). BTW, what is the constellation NML Cygni? --Tito Dutta ✉ 21:54, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

BTW, have you seen my new user page? No, it is not Sun, it is NML Cygni! , you can create a (similar/different) user page. Can you read Bengali? --Tito Dutta ✉ 21:57, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

It looks great! I shall also create one soon. (No, I haven't seen it. I missed it! A clear example that shows that I am not watching the watchlist carefully. I will give more attention from today onwards)

Malayalam (a Dravidian language) is my native language, and I have learned Hindi. The problem is that, I can write excellently (but with bad handwriting, of course :), read quite well, but cannot speak or synthesis sentences correctly (grammatically). I can also understand Sanskrit though not as much as Hindi. The alphabets of Bengali seems to, though slightly, different. I will be trying to learn them, definitely. I will also be considering Urdu. I have already started learning Hindi.

Constellation:Cygnus (constellation). This star is a variable star (named V1489 Cyg) and per Variable star designation, it should be named by the name of constellation. This is also supported by this on 3rd page (marked as 414), 2nd para, 3rd sentence.

Attribution? I didn't know that. Then I shall release my contribs in the PD, unless stated otherwise.

Did you know that.... RBI has decided to introduce polymer banknotes in India. See Indian rupee#Independent issues since 1949 (not new (2009), but interesting and I am hearing it for the first time. Please note: I am not proposing a DYK on this, but just commenting on an interesting fact.)

Polymer banknote will be very handy, but, I don't know when they'll introduce these in this country. When others are into 4G, we are just 3G beginner.

I am also interested in Google Fiber, these fibre cable internet connection claim to increase internet speed upto 100 times or more. Article shows maximum speed 1Gbps speed. I don't want 1 Gbps, if I get 1Gbps/1024=1 Mbps "constant" speed, it'll be more than excellent. See my average internet speed --Tito Dutta ✉ 13:04, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Yeah I am also hoping for one of that kind :) I am using an Idea edge internet connection, which shows a maximum download of around 275 kbps in statistics right now. (It shows in kbps and not in Mbps!). Most of the time, I cannot open Wikipedia (Network connection timed out- it says) But I can open all other WMF projects.I have already asked on it

(I cannot even imagine how it look like at 73.53 Mbps. It is harder than or at least comparable to the thinking of 4Ds and concept of multiple universes :).

• Correct Answer: You can not open Wikipedia because of a planning. Long story short: since you have joined Wikipedia, you are not visiting Yahoo answer. No one is there now to answer "My bird fell down, is he ill?" type questions! That's why Wikipedia deliberately creates problem in your Wikipedia loading so that you can not open Wikipedia.
• Incorrect answer Check manually if something is preventing your browser from opening Wikipedia. Don't know about Seamonkey, but if you have addons/extension in seakmonkey, try in safe mode. Search in Google with "Solve network time out problem <Your browser>", try those suggestions. Finally try a new browser. Are you using Wikipedia secured (i.e. https). Change to http. Still not solved? Disable WikiEd, ProveIt etc special gadgets (you can disable and check one by one). Have added some weird script in vector.js or commons.js page? Or is any error/script in that page taking long time to execute?
• No, Sir, I have not gone to Kerala. Most probably that is the only state in India which has something like this and maximum number of Sadhus (monks). In Kerala if in a house there are three people, first one will be mathematician, second person will be a Sadhu (monk), and third person will be a coconut vendor! Bad joke? :-D

I haven't quit, but now I am busy and will be back there one day. How did you find this?

In a discussion someone told me– There are hundreds of pages about gurus and swamis nobody heard about outside India (or even outside Kerala), written in ...er... a very non-neutral tone.. Even in main Kerala article there are some conflicts for last few days/weeks. Recently someone asked me to check that article, I made some minor fixes, but, I don't think I'll be able do something until they finish the debate.

1) There are some people who try to prove Kerala civilization is 5000 years, 1000 years or older than that. And they bring some Matsya Puran etc to support these claims. According to them, God created the universe in 6 days. (Since creating the universe is a huge task), before that he was taking preparation in Kerala!

2) Napoleon told– the word "impossible" is not present in his dictionary. The thing he did not tell– his dictionary was printed from a press of Kerala, that's why the word "impossible" was not there. Everything is possible in Kerala!

3) Can you tell me any number larger than infinity? Well, yes, there is a number it is called NoCTiK. Can you guess what is this?

Answer
NoCTiK → Number of Coconut Trees in Kerala > ∞ Suggestion of the day If this ghost comes to you, don't ask to straighten dog's tail. Better ask to count NoCTiK!

--Tito Dutta ✉ 22:32, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

NoCTiK—that is absolutely a cool discovery. The article is great, but along with the humor, a moral advice was also given.

These people around Kerala are cutting down dogs' tails, so that might be their cultural heritage behind this cruelty..

Yeah, I saw the recent conflict. But I didn't want to involve in it directly as it was some sort of religious CoI. I just kept watching and then poured some water to take the flame out, though it got evaporated in the heat.

...creating the universe is a huge task Yeah! Very huge task indeed (2,658‎ bytes!!!). And took about 55 days

2)Don't worry, try Wiktionary. It has got the almost all of the existing and non-existing words including it.

• NML Cyg is a massive oxygen rich star
• is one of the most luminous hypergiant stars
• is estimated that this star has two discrete optically thick envelopes of dust and molecules.

Please list some more and decide which is the most interesting on.

Source and NML Cyg

Unfortunately the citation given on the article doesn't help as it is a link to abstract of a book. We need access to verify it. And they say,

The "Did you know?" fact must be mentioned in the article and cited with an inline citation since inline citations are used to support specific statements in an article. Many submissions fail to meet one or both of these criteria.

Alas! Really sorry for having this.

Further to this, there occurred a conflict, recently, between two editors on which star is the largest one. It is at Talk:VY Canis Majoris#Actual size. this reversion.

On WikiBlame, I searched for NML Cygni and 650. Though I do not know how to interpret it completely, I was able to note that this was added by this edit. Shall we contact the user to get some help?···Vanischenu^「m/_Talk」 21:05, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

If it is not the largest star a) you can hook anything else b) there is still nothing to care from non-dyk point of view, creating article on star is still a happy experience c) you can give it up dyk idea for now.

If you're looking for a NASA press release saying "NML Cygni is the largest star" then I think you'll be disappointed. It has ended up top of the Wikipedia list almost by default as other stars with larger estimated sizes have been revised smaller in new research. I just re-read the referenced paper and it doesn't even explicitly state the number 1650. Rather it derives the distance, angular diameter, temperature, and luminosity, but leaves the physical size unstated. So original research? The derived parameters have considerable quoted margins of error, but 1650 is the smallest value. Older references give much larger values, but highly uncertain. You may be able to download the whole PDF at:

http://arxiv.org/pdf/1207.1850 Lithopsian (talk) 14:35, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. But we need materials to support this claim as it is to be featured in the main page. Replied on your talk. Thanks. ···Vanischenu^「m/_Talk」 18:14, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

I appreciate your frustration. I have looked through journals for a solid explicit reference to the size of this star, but the only ones I can find are decades old and really not reliable. More recent papers just accept that it is one of the largest stars around and don't waste time trying to tie that down to a level that simply isn't meaningful. Zhang's paper summarises the current state of affairs, but it isn't much to base a claim to the largest star on. Schuster's paper (http://iopscience.iop.org/0004-637X/699/2/1423/fulltext/) has some images but again I don't know if they can be used. Public images will be rare because there isn't a whole lot to see. Lithopsian (talk) 19:49, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for being too much on it. I am so worried because this would be appearing on the main page, and would be very interesting for all kinds of people irrespective of ages, regions and education. And hence it would get a lot of attention. The problem is with "1650" and "the largest". I don't know what to do.···Vanischenu^「m/_Talk」 20:36, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Rare honour for Kolkata

A news has been published today in almost all West Bengal newspaper's front page. I hope it is more or less same in Kerala too. On 15th September (this year) president of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, US/International is coming to Kolkata to situate milestone plaques in respect of Jagadish Chandra Bose and C.V. Raman.

• Nobel laureate Raman was an extra-ordinary scientist. After discovering Raman's effect he bought tickets to go to foreign and collect Nobel prize even before he was selected or officially announced by Nobel Committee. Self confidence!
• Acharya Bose was the first scientist who discovered plants have life (using Crescograph, he is also considered as the inventor (father) of Wireless communication (that means he is the father of today's all wirelss communication, mobile, wireless internet etc). But, he did not take patent, few hours later Guglielmo Marconi took patent and was awarded Nobel prize. But, still researches on the subjects like 1) Wireless communication (physics), 2) plant stimuli (biology/botany/bio-physics) shows his great range of intellect. He did many more researches which you can read Sir Bose's biographical article (link above), but, furthermore, apart from doing so many researches, he was a story writer too. And he was the person who wrote first science fiction story in Bengali (1896). I have not read this story but I have heard the story was about weather control. With only few apparatus, almost no advanced research facilities he had successfully done at least two international level or more than international level research.

Reading from the Wikipedia article–

Bose was not provided with facilities for research. On the contrary, he was a ‘victim of racialism’ with regard to his salary. In those days, an Indian professor was paid Rs. 200 per month, while his European counterpart received Rs. 300 per month. Since Bose was officiating, he was offered a salary of only Rs. 100 per month. With remarkable sense of self respect and national pride he decided on a new form of protest. Bose refused to accept the salary cheque. In fact, he continued his teaching assignment for three years without accepting any salary. Finally both the Director of Public Instruction and the Principal of the Presidency College fully realised the value of Bose’s skill in teaching and also his lofty character. As a result his appointment was made permanent with retrospective effect. He was given the full salary for the previous three years in a lump sum.

Now to honour these two scientist representatives of IEEE are coming to Kolkata. India will be third country in Asia and Kolkata will be first city in India to get this honour.

• Confusion (Correction?) I said above that Jagadish Chandra Bose invented plants have life– as you'll find in many web articles. But, as per "introduction" part of Bengali book "Abyakta" (a book written by Bose himself), he did invent it– plants of life that was not new at the time of Bose and which is accepted for many centuries ^{I am more interested to know more about it which is not available in introduction}, Sir Bose using crescograph proved plants life is similar to animal/human life etc! --Tito Dutta ✉ 00:11, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Same to you. You deserve it much more than me.···Vanischenu^「m/_Talk」 02:21, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Look at the graph. That article used to be visited by people even before it was created.···Vanischenu^「m/_Talk」 03:02, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Either that is a glitch or people used to click on redlink! --Tito Dutta ✉ 03:49, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Well, the DYK hook was very catchy, the largest star! So, no surprise!--Dwaipayan (talk) 05:02, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

A good number of people clicked on "Red supergiant" as it was linked before the hook in the sentence. See here. They should change the rule, like disambig page only the DYK article should be linked, or we need to be careful next time! --Tito Dutta ✉ 05:44, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

What's next we are going to explore? Weirdest animal of Africa? Mountain of Mars (really, there are some mountains in Mars) Unpopular Egyptian deity? I may try to find! --Tito Dutta ✉ 06:08, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

There is only Egyptian deity on whom there is not any article. She is Iat– minor goddess of milk and, by association, of nurturing and childbirth. She is mainly goddess of milk, since there are few more deities to supervise childbirths: Bes, Haqet, Meskhenet! So, not a good DYK hook. But, there are good number of uncovered mountains of Mars, see here. --Tito Dutta ✉ 06:19, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Both seems to be interesting. Greek goddess is a symbol of a particular culture and would be interesting.···Vanischenu^「m/_Talk」 14:46, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
