Just to let you know that I've replied to your message on my talk page. My apologies for the delay in replying but I'm on holiday right now, and not supposed to be editing Wikipedia. But I obviously can't stay away from here.

Thanks for your message. May I give you an advice on how to edit in cases like these? Always try to add a comment, however brief, of what you edit and/or why you edit it. In this case, for example, something like "out of scope", "not a university at is time of founding" or "see for that List of oldest madrasahs in continuous operation" would do.

Physics is not one of my strengths, although it takes no Albert to recognize the usual tendentiousness. I believe Syncat or Athenean who are both interested very much in astronomy may be more competent to take a closer look. Saludos Gun Powder Ma (talk) 09:33, 30 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
Ok,Gun,thanks for your advice.I have already inform Syncategoremata about this article.Saludos y buena suerte!!--Knight1993 (talk) 16:43, 30 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
Una cosa más. In cases such as these, you may save time and effort by 1. posting only once a detailed explanation of your edit on some talk page like you did, and 2. then making a full text search in Wikipedia for further instances of that particular claim and 3. remove all of them by linking in the edit summary to 1. This is what I call working horizontally, and it is the most efficient method in dealing with the well-known multiplication method of the said user.

Hello, you are invited to take part in the following discussion on this topic. The discussion is about general ways to improve Wikipedia in terms of verfifiability of contents. Regards Gun Powder Ma (talk) 20:49, 4 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
User:Dbachmann might be interested in a crackdown; maybe Elonka or Durova or Jehochman might, they went after a guy who did pseudohistory on medieval stuff. WP:FTN also may work. In any case, you'll have to talk to Jagged or revert his edits to see what he does, ie, if he backs down or not. Or you could pack all these articles off to WP:AFD if they are based on a nonsensical basis and it isn't worthy of a topic. What articles are you referring to by the way?

Hi there.
I noticed that you have added a {{citation needed}} tag to the Perspective (graphical) article, but there is already a citation just where you added it. Do you think there is some problem with that reference or do you just think the claim needs a second reference? Let me know if you want any help with this.
If you are worried about the citation and whether it supports the claim or not, you can use the template {{verify source}} ({{Vn}} for short). See the guidelines on that template's page to see some recommendations on how to deal with this sort of situation.
By the way, if I put something on your talk page, you can reply to me here, as I always watch pages that I have edited. If you do reply here and think that I have missed your reply, you might then add a note on my talk page to point me here. It's usually better to keep the conversation on a single page, just to make it easier for us to follow.
And yes, I'll have a look at the Book of Optics page as soon as I can. I have all the material here to check the page, but I'm a bit caught up in other things right now. —Syncategoremata (talk) 16:46, 11 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi Knight, I noticed your edits at Cubic function. Good edit, but I had to add spaces following your punctuation (periods, comma's, ...), as is customary. Could you please keep this in mind when editing? Thanks and cheers - DVdm (talk) 06:35, 15 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
Just to second this Knight: I've just done a quick tidy-up on your edits at History of the steam engine: your space key does seem to be scared of punctuation. The additions look good by the way (though I've not looked at them in any detail.) Many thanks for your contributions here.

Hi Knight1993,
I see that you are relatively new to wikipedia and working to improve the Crop Rotation article. Thanks for your contribution, and keep up the good work.
I should point out, however, that your use of citation in that article is a problem. You added a citation for "Technology in the Middle Ages History of Technology", but this is not a complete or verifiable citation. Please read Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to construct citations that are complete and verifiable, an important concern as other editors need to be able to locate the source you have cited. If you have questions, I may be able to help. Just leave a note on my talk page.

I've got impetus theory on my list of things to look at. Last time I checked the Islamic contributions weren't completely over-stated (especially after Jagged's last round of corrections following my whine on his talk page). The impetus theory article is a mess but that's not necessarily an issue so much of accuracy as of bad writing. The other issue is that there are various bits and pieces of conflicting information on a great number of pages (as usual) so it would take a bit to track them all down and sort through them.
If there are any particular claims you are worried about, let me know, as I may well have the relevant sources to hand here to check them.
Well,the theory of impetus article is a mess,as you say.But the article that really bothers me is the Inertia article.I think the problems they have are similar.If you could check the problematic statements in those articles,it would be great.I have already spotted one:the article says al-Biruni was the first to state that acceleration is connected with non-uniform motion,but the source never say that he was thefirst.Maybe that idea was much older.There are many firsts in the islamic world section.And maybe even worse things.Thanks for all your help.All the best--Knight1993 (talk) 16:41, 30 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
I haven't looked at the inertia article recently: I'll do so this weekend. The exact priority of discoveries in this area is disputed, as far as I recall from when I last read about this, so it's not impossible that Biruni should have the priority; I'll certainly check though. The main problem with these articles is that they are written from a "presentist" viewpoint and tend to use anachronistic terms like "force" and "mass", when those concepts are the result of much later theoretical insight and thus inappropriate for describing what these earlier figures thought, whatever that was.

Many thanks for checking through the material on Avicenna's 'ontological argument'. I really ought to know that material better, so the references you found are very useful for me, as well as having improved the article.
All the best. –Syncategoremata (talk) 10:46, 24 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
Well thanks, Syncategoremata. The Avicenna section was, in my opinion, unfair, because it presented a minority view as a majority view. It gave Avicenna more importance than Anselm himself, who really deserves the credit for making the first ontological argument. If you want to improve it or correct any mistake, go ahead!--Knight1993 (talk) 11:06, 24 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

That may well be the case or not about that particular editor.. but it seems many statements are sourced in those two articles. He is not the only editor who wrote the article. So this is guilt by association for other editors who added and improved that article. So in this case, it is better to assume good faith and put a fact tag for sentences that you think contain weasel words and etc. In other words please do not just tag it without giving detailed reasons on the statements that you are incorrect. And then instead, it would be better if you took the time and effort to go through the article and put a citation tag for weasel words and sentences that need sourcing. Else many other articles could have been touched by possible problematic editors and that is not enough reason to validate a fact tag. Since your intention is good, I believe for the good of Wikipedia it is better for you to take the time and read the article. Then get rid of any weasel, wrong and unsourced statements as well OR and synthesis and etc. Thank you.--Pahlavannariman (talk) 17:47, 25 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Siege of Tyre 1187.jpg
Latest comment: 14 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
Thanks for uploading File:Siege of Tyre 1187.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 09:59, 5 June 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Theleftorium(talk) 09:59, 5 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi,
I understand your question, but the notion that the planetary orbits were eccentric circles goes back before Ptolemy to the time of Hipparchus (or earlier).
Here's a nice illustration of an eccentric circular orbit for the Sun, with the Earth at the center.
Here's an eccentric circular orbit with the Earth at the center and a planet going around on an epicycle,
And here's Kepler's diagram of a whole bunch of nested eccentric circular orbits with the Sun at the center following Copernicus's model.
To oversimplify, Kepler just transformed Copernicus's eccentric circles into eccentric ellipses. Hope this explains it a little. --SteveMcCluskey (talk) 02:59, 1 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

I think you're going in the right direction on your edits there, but the sources you're using are exceptionally weak. Although Cambridge University Press is a premier publisher, a book titled "Ernest Gellner and Contemporary Social Thought" does not seem like the best source on science in the Madrasahs. The article cites an essay by Harvard Historian of science, A. I. Sabra on "Situating Arabic Science" that is much more on target. I also like the works of Frankfurt Historian of astronomy, David King.
Finally, I wouldn't be so deprecating about Ptolemaic astronomy. It's really quite accurate, although it's cosmology and physics are both wrong. --SteveMcCluskey (talk) 04:28, 6 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:
tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

"Military history" is one of the most important subjects when speak of sum of all human knowledge. To support contributors interested in the area over various language Wikipedias, we intend to form a user group. It also provides a platform to share the best practices between military historians, and various military related projects on Wikipedias. An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Wikipedia. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at Talk:Discussion to incubate a user group for Wikipedia Military Historians.
