== Thorium intro ==

Somebody complaint about the lead of the thorium article, which was a nuclear energy advertising part. I cut out most and created a little more from the article for the lead. Can you have a look as you contributed a lot to plutonium and uranium. Thanks! --[[User:Stone|Stone]] ([[User talk:Stone|talk]]) 08:17, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
:Will do. I plan to bring that article to feature level. Californium is first though. --mav

== Mount Fee ==

Mav, this is totally out of the blue, so please ignore if you're not interested.  I'm reviewing the [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Mount Fee/archive3|FAC for Mount Fee]], and I'm finding it a bit hard going, but I'm not sure if this is because I know so little about geology, or if the article is really not very smoothly written.  It's the third nom, so I hate to oppose unnecessarily.  I know you've taken geology articles to FA, so I was wondering if you'd be willing to take a look, and either review it yourself, or just give me a bit of feedback about your impressions to help me assess it.  Thanks -- and as I say, if you don't have time, no problems.

I noticed the Californium FAC got archived with no consensus.

The '''[[Mono–Inyo Craters]]''' are a north–south-trending volcanic chain in [[Eastern California]] that stretch {{convert|25|mi|km}} from the northwest shore of [[Mono Lake]] to south of [[Mammoth Mountain]]. The chain is located in [[Mono County, California|Mono County]] in the [[U.S. State]] of California. Eruptions along the narrow fissure system under the chain began in the west moat of [[Long Valley Caldera]] 400,000 to 60,000 years ago. Mammoth Mountain was formed during this period. Multiple eruptions from 40,000 to 600 years ago created Mono Craters and eruptions 5,000 to 500 years ago formed Inyo Craters. The area has been used by humans for centuries. [[Obsidian]] was collected by [[Mono tribe|Mono Paiutes]] for making sharp tools and arrow points.[[Mono Mills, California|Mono Mills]] processed timber felled on or near the volcanoes for the nearby boomtown [[Bodie, California|Bodie]] in the late 19th to early 20th centuries. Water diversions into the [[Los Angeles Aqueduct]] system from their natural outlets in Mono Lake started in 1941 after a water tunnel was cut under Mono Craters. Mono Lake Volcanic Field and a large part of Mono Craters gained some protection under [[Mono Basin National Forest Scenic Area]] in 1984. Resource use along all of the chain is managed by the [[United States Forest Service]] as part of [[Inyo National Forest]].

== WP Elements in the ''Signpost'' ==

"WikiProject Report" would like to focus on WikiProject Elements for a ''Signpost'' article. This is an excellent opportunity to draw attention to your efforts and attract new members to the project. Would you be willing to participate in an interview? If so, '''[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Newsroom/WikiProject desk/Interviews4|here are the questions for the interview]]'''. Just add your response below each question and feel free to skip any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering. Other editors will also have an opportunity to respond to the interview questions. If you know anyone else who would like to participate in the interview, please share this with them. Have a great day. -[[User:Mabeenot|Mabeenot]] ([[User talk:Mabeenot|talk]]) 17:13, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
:Thank you for participating in the interview. The overwhelming response shows the excitement and dedication of the members at WikiProject Elements. I had to trim some of the interview to make it a little more manageable and to reduce redundancy. The responses to the first question and the "anything else" question were used in writing introductions for each member. I also cut an unneeded question. Please take a look at the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Newsroom/WikiProject desk/Interviews4|revised interview]] to make sure I haven't inadvertently changed the tone or character of your response. Also check to make sure I've used the correct pronouns when referring to you. None of these changes are set in stone and we still have plenty of time until publication in which we can tweak things. Pictures and a sidebar will be added closer to the publication date. Cheers! -[[User:Mabeenot|Mabeenot]] ([[User talk:Mabeenot|talk]]) 01:52, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

== meaowrrr! ==

Hey, I meant it when I said Californium was nice.  Was not trying to kiss up...or to soften a blow.

Of all my comments, the only one that I really feel hard core about wrt affecting a vote, would be getting the data in the infobox referenced (we just need to start doing that...other articles do, for instance biographies, species, etc.)  That's core Wiki principle (and useful to the reader AS WELL as probably driving us to spot some errors--on F, this was the case).

All the rest of it is really stylistic input.  Obviously, I sincerely meant all I said, as ways to recommend improving the article.  Hopefully some was helpful insights.  But use your judgment on what will make the article best for the reader.

Again, outstanding article...I really got a sense of the element's personality from reading the Wiki article.  In a way, a bit similar to how Seaborg does in his book.  Kudos.  [[User:TCO|TCO]] ([[User talk:TCO|talk]]) 00:57, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

:Understood and thanks. :) My concern about refs in the table is the placement of the cites; having them right next to numeric data makes reading the table a bit harder than without them. I'll start to think about a way to make everybody happy. --mav

::I feel ya.  It is ugly to have number next to number.  A ref column after might work nice, like with [[State reptile]], because it will also drive a mindset of having to have the ref.  Alternately, you can do rows underneath.  Or even a final single row underneath at the very end with a "note" for referencing.  Then, when you click on the note it gives you all the details of what citation refs what property.  Sorta like the CRC has a discussion and list of refs after a table.  No biggie.  However you want to do it.[[User:TCO|TCO]] ([[User talk:TCO|talk]]) 02:38, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

== reviews needed ==

1.  This is sorta match-making (don't get the wrong idea though!), but I think it would be great if you could give a review for Manhattan Project, and the writer of that, gave a review for you.  The topics have some relation to each other, so each of you might find it interesting.

2.  How do I create a signature that has the "reviews needed" like yours does?  Will you do it for me?  Right now, I have a section on my page for reviews needed, but not sure if it is really pushing any traffic.  I do sometimes start little kerfuffles on Wikipedia space talk pages...so if I could drive some traffic to needed content, it might make a little more value out of the chit chat strategizing.

== fluorine protect ==

Hey, I don't want to over-react, but we had an IP (just one, just now) try to edit the article to debate fluorine for teeth (I hate it when the controversies stick their noses into our articles...glad there is no Middle East dynamic or British Isles naming issues).  I think it's fine, now, would not bother protecting unless we get issues.  Also, I may float the article past a couple of academics or industry experts.  In which case, they may have some IP edits that are additive.  So...kind of a wishy washy post, but might need admin protect in the future.[[User:TCO|TCO]] ([[User talk:TCO|talk]]) 18:50, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

'''[[Californium]]''' is the radioactive metallic [[chemical element]] with [[atomic number]]&nbsp;98. It was first produced in 1950 by bombarding [[curium]] with [[alpha particle]]s at the [[University of California, Berkeley]]. The element was named for [[California]] and the [[University of California]]. Two [[Crystal structure|crystalline forms]] exist for californium under normal pressure, and a third exists at high pressure. [[Compounds of californium]] are dominated by a chemical form of the element, designated californium(III), that can participate in three [[chemical bond]]s. The most stable of californium's twenty known [[isotope]]s is californium-251, which has a [[half-life]] of 898&nbsp;years; this short half-life means the element is not found in the Earth's crust. Californium-252, whose half-life is 2.645&nbsp;years, is the most common isotope used. Californium can be used to help start up [[nuclear reactor]]s, and is employed as a source of neutrons when studying materials with [[neutron diffraction]] and [[neutron spectroscopy]].  It can also be used in nuclear synthesis of higher mass elements; [[ununoctium]] was synthesized by bombarding californium-249 atoms with [[calcium-48]] ions. Use of californium must take into account radiological concerns and the element's ability to disrupt the formation of [[red blood cell]]s by [[Bioaccumulation|bio-accumulating]] in skeletal tissue.

== Privacy protection ==

Dear Mav, 

Some time ago I entered Wikipedia using my own name, which was a mistake. Now, due to the continuing smear campaign by the user Materialscientist, I want to completely withdraw from Wikipedia both my account an any mentions of my former relations to it. 
Now I know the identity of the user Materialscientist, and have proofs that he does not act as an impartial editor, but instead is involved in a conflict of interest with my group. Moreover, he uses every opportunity to attack my real name (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Boron#User_should_not_be_deleting_the_useful_references_from_Wikipedia). Personal attacks are unacceptable. In the above link, he explicitly lies about the content of my recent article, which other users found useful and wanted to cite, and turns it against me. You can read that article, and see for yourself where the truth is. 
I would like to ask you to take actions to protect my privacy, by unlinking my Wikipedia name ("luebuwei") from my real name ("aoganov") and forbidding user Materialscientist to discuss me on Wikipedia. Also, if all mentions of my name on the above talk-page could be removed, I would appreciate that a lot. Thank you for your understanding! 

P.S. I don't want to discuss the identity of Materialscientist on public pages, but will be able to discuss it and the facts I have by email. 
P.P.S. Concerning my account on Wikipedia, I don't have time to contribute to WP and did not write anything for a long time. I doubt that I will have more time for it in the future, and I certainly cannot spend time to read the rules and procedures of Wikipedia, which seem to be essential for avoiding trouble. As you can understand, experiences such as this one, are also discouraging. It would appreciate if you could delete my account. ~~  <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Luebuwei|Luebuwei]] ([[User talk:Luebuwei|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Luebuwei|contribs]]) 00:08, 9 April 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Wikipedia Stories Project ==

Hi!

My name is Victor and I'm a storyteller with the Wikimedia Foundation. I'm chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community around the world, including those from readers, editors, and donors. Stories are absolutely essential for any non-profit to persuade people to support the cause, and we know the vast network of people who make and use Wikipedia have so much to share.

Rob Lanphier suggested that I speak with you. You have been editing for quite a while!

I'd very much like the opportunity to interview you to tell your story, with the possibility of using it in our materials, on our community websites, or as part of this year’s fundraiser to encourage others to support Wikipedia. Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project.

Thank you for your time,

== Mt Tenabo NV-750px.JPG ==

Mav,

I was exploring historic Cortez near the incredible new Cortez Gold Mine at the base of Mt Tenabo in northern Nevada yesterday.  When I got home I checked Wikipedia for info on that area.  In looking at the subject .jpg on the page, I noticed that Mount Tenabo was identified as the tall mountain visible from Battle Mountain in the picture.  I believe that the peak in the photo is Mt Lewis in the Shoshone Range, south east of Battle Mountain rather than Mt Tenabo and the Cortez Mountains further south and east.

== Credo Reference Update & Survey (your opinion requested) ==

[[Credo Reference]], who generously [[WP:CREDO|donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts]] to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources.  Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most.  So, we put together a quick survey to do that:

* Link to Survey (should take between 5-10 minutes): [http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/N8FQ6MM http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/N8FQ6MM]

It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.

At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through [[WP:RESOURCE|WikiProject Resource Exchange]]).  

Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.

[[Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|48px|]]

The article [[Scribes (software)]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32; because of the following concern:
:'''Non-notable software, tagged with {{tl|notability}} since december 2007. The single review listed does not establish notability.'''

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Scribes (software)|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> [[User:Bjelleklang|Bjelleklang]]  -  [[User_talk:Bjelleklang|talk]] 22:02, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a [[WP:FU|claim of fair use]].

If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. [[WP:BOLD|You may add it back]] if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see [[Wikipedia:Non-free content#Policy|our policy for non-free media]]).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|my contributions]]" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any '''articles''' will be deleted after seven days, as described on [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Files|criteria for speedy deletion]].

== Mono Lake ==

Hi, I think I asked you a question or two about pictures of Mono Lake you took in 2009. Now I'd like to point you to [[:de:Mono Lake]], the German language article I improved over quite some time. It became "exzellent" (~featured) recently and some of your pictures might have helped. Even if you don't speak any German, you might want to take a look. Maybe you can get an idea you can use here too. And I'd like to point you to [[:de:Mount St. Helens]], another German language article mostly written by me and awarded as "lesenswert" (~good). You might check the chapter on "Regeneration von Flora und Fauna" (I guess you get that even if you don't speak the language) as this topic is sadly missing in the articles here, despite being the most fascinating aspect of the mountain in my view. Again thanks for your pictures of Mono Lake. rgds --[[user:H-stt|h-stt]] [[User_talk:H-stt|<small>!?</small>]] 14:43, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

== Hill 700 at Bougainville Island ==

I removed an edit you made nearly ten years ago in the March section of the 1943 article and the copy someone made to the March, 1943 article. The attack could not have happened on that date, since the campaign did not begin until November, 1943. Unfortunately, I don't know the correct date, so I was unable to move the edit to its proper place. If the subject still interests you, you may wish to do so. The full text was, "American forces were attacked by Japanese troops on Hill 700 at [[Bougainville Island]], in a battle that lasted 5 days."

Best of luck in all your future endeavours. [[User:Double sharp|Double sharp]] ([[User talk:Double sharp|talk]]) 04:39, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

:Thanks for the kind words. I have learned so much editing and writing for Wikipedia and had a lot of fun along the way, but I've had increasingly less time for Wikipedia over the last several years. Instead, I've been focusing my free time doing mapping for the [[Georgia State Defense Force]] (a volunteer part of the [[Georgia Department of Defense]] (GADOD), and updating OpenStreetMap.org using GPS traces I create during hikes and mountain bike rides, which feeds back into the mapping. If I had time, I would also be editing Wikipedia at least about the parks I'm GPSing in and articles related to the GADOD. --[[user:mav|mav]] ([[User:Mav/Reviews|reviews&nbsp;needed]]) 16:44, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

::Hi again. I did a first rewrite of [[thorium]] for you, given that you implied you wouldn't have time to bring it to FA in the forseeable future (if I'm wrong about that, my sincerest apologies!)

Dear members of WikiProject Genealogy, this will be the last newsletter for 2017, but maybe the most important one!

You can already now try out the demo for a genealogy wiki at https://tools.wmflabs.org/genealogy/wiki/Main_Page and try out the functions. You will find parts of the 18th Pharao dynasty and other records submitted by the 7 first users, and it would be great if you would add some records. 

And with those great news we want to wish you a creative New Year 2018!

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, '''[[:BATMAN]]'''. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – '''[[:Batman (disambiguation)]]'''. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for [[WP:A10|speedy deletion]]. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at [[:Batman (disambiguation)]]. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at [[Talk:Batman (disambiguation)|the article's talk page]]. 

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:BATMAN|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 deleted 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:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=BATMAN|deleting administrator}}, or if you have already done so, you can place a request [[WP:RFUD|here]]. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the [[WP:AFC|article creation process]] and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged.

== My edits on Grand Canyon geology ==

I just read a lot of your user page. I found you on a photo of the south flank of Kaibab Plateau—- actually the Walhalla Plateau. I am just saying hello. 

All the first geology // Mountain range edits::creations were with []User_talk:Mmcannis]]. Years later I am now [[User:McAnnis59]].  (( if I remember all the Wiki nomenclature)).  I was away for some years. ((( started as McAnnis49 on IPhone))) but had logging problem )))

When I worked on geology for the GCanyom. Paul H. A real geologist fixed up most of my articles. Like [[Unkar Group]] & its members. Or likewise [[Grand Canyon Supergroup]]. (His edits were as good as a Foreign Language)

I am retired; live in the Hot desert (Yuma AZ). So plenty of time indoors. 

I too have always engaged with the periodic Table of the Elements (being a Carbon-based being)

Try to make it real, Try to make it real, But compared to What. ( from a blues / jazz song ). Look at our American (planet. world. reality)

Thanks for a Wonderful explanation of your (Wiki) life experiences. (It’s) Nice to read something simple yet worldly and Honest.  Michael in Yuma [[User:McAnnis59|McAnnis59]] ([[User talk:McAnnis59|talk]]) 04:21, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

I just saw that a discussion topic was on the troposphere where we live. I have the book: Structure of the Stratosphere and Mesosphere. Here at YPG. Yuma Proving Ground they used to test ammo for the 5 inch navy gun. In the book — spheres were shot with that gun to test for ozone in the ‘70’s.

miss you --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt|talk]]) 07:02, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

Thank you today for [[Geology of the Lassen volcanic area]], introduced (in 2007): "Self nom. I've been working on this article off and on since I first visited the area in late 2003. So - what else needs to be done to bring this to FA standards? I'm especially interested to see if I got the balance right. For example, it would have been tempting to add a lot more detail about the 1915 eruption of Lassen Peak or that mountain's geology. However, this article is about all the geology on the lava plateau, which includes dozens of separate volcanoes."! --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt|talk]]) 04:39, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

The article [[:List of Intel processors]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32;because of the following concern:
<blockquote>'''This article is barely maintained, contains a lot of outdated information, many sections are missing, it's poorly organized and I see no reason for it to exist considering it duplicates other articles and does a bad job at doing that.'''</blockquote>

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:List of Intel processors|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> [[User:Artem S.
