== Plague in Poland ==</math>
Hi!  Welcome to Wiki.  Noted that you reverted a [[Black Death]] entry by an anonymous.  Reversion is usually only done for vandalism or for vastly inappropriate information.  If you have a question or concern about the accuracy of information or whether it belongs in the article, the preferred practi[[ce is to move it to the discussion page along with your reasons for moving it.  Then the author, logged]] in or an anon, can respond.  I moved the paragraph below to the discussion page, so please add a comment on your reason for reverting/moving the info.     

''The exaple of Poland is especially notable, because it was the king Casimir_III_of_Poland goverment who stopped the spread of plague. The 40 day quarantine of foreigners and free distribution of food prevented black death from spreading in Poland.''

Thanks.  Look forward to working with you.  [[User:WBardwin|WBardwin]] 00:03, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

==50 and fifty are equally correct. Wikipedia is "correct", not necessarily "formal".==

You said "50 => fifty, spelling out words in a sentence is considered more formal" and changed "50" to "fifty".

[[Names of numbers in English]] says:

'''Whether to use digits or words'''

According to your friendly neighborhood copy editor and/or English teacher, the numbers zero through nine should be "written out" &#8211; meaning instead of "1" and "2", one would write "one" and "two".

    Example: "I have two apples." (Correct)
    Example: "I have 2 apples." (Incorrect)

After "nine", one can head straight back into the 10, 11, 12, etc., although some write out the numbers until "twelve".

    Example: "I have 28 grapes." (Correct)
    Example: "I have twenty-eight grapes." (Incorrect)

Another common usage is to write out any number that can be expressed as one or two words, and use figures otherwise.

    Examples:

        "There are six million dogs." (Correct)
        "There are 6,000,000 dogs." (Incorrect)
        "That is one hundred and twenty-five oranges." (Incorrect)
        "That is 125 oranges." (Correct)

Numbers at the beginning of a sentence should also be written out.

The above rules are not always used. In literature, larger numbers might be spelled out." [[User:4.250.138.13|4.250.138.13]] 09:34, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

==Edit summaries==
Hi, thanks for the advice. I do try and make edit summaries but only when I am particuarly angry (when I have deleted something that is '''obviously''' not suitable and that no-one else has deleted) or when I add a substantial amount of content to an article, like a new section or paragraph. I will try and fill out summaries every time in the future though. But out of interest, can you tell me which edit I made which prompted you to advise me? --[[User:Speedway|Speedway]] 16:43, Apr 24, 2005 (UTC)

== Page protection ==

I didn't protect the page, nor do I know who did I'm afraid.  The log shows my name, but I hadn't even looked at the page for some time.  I've unprotected it, anyway, as there seems to be no reason for it to be protected.

==[[copula (statistics)]]==

I think it's really inappropriate to have a section on copulas, in the sense in which that term is used in probability theory and statistics, within the article titled [[copula]], because it is not at all the same thing as what that article is about.  I've deleted the section and created a new article titled [[copula (statistics)]].  The article titled ''copula'' treats the ''usual'' meaning of that word rather than the one treated in [[copula (statistics)]]. [[User:Michael Hardy|Michael Hardy]] 02:54, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

==Comments==

Hi! Oh, i think you have the wrong impression about my comments on the John Kerry talk page. I am very cool. In fact, i am very happy to see that Rhobite (a biased editor from Amherst, Mass.) didn't get his way in trying to limit the information about Senator Kerry's admission to war crimes. I think it is Paul (Rhobite) who is upset as can be seen from his comments. I appreciate your care for my mental state however. I was indeed rather upset when Rhobite banned me for inserting the quote citing a 3-reversion rule which he, himself, violated (but didn't ban himself). Now that other editors were attracted to the issue and stated that Rhobite doesn't have the right to limit such vital information, i am very happy indeed. My personal message to Rhobite was the truth. He should not try to hide the flaws of his beloved Senator if he is to be a truly NPOV editor on Wikipedia. Wikipedia will eventually be taken more seriously as a source if editors like Rhobite learn to include rather than exclude. I come from China so i am very sensitive to people limiting information. Wikipedia should be about the truth. Don't you agree? So thanks for the attention! Don't eat too much ice-cream, it's bad for you, especially if you have diabetes :-(

Take care my friend!

:I agree with you that any information deemed vital should always be included if true.  However, information, while true can be presented in a misleading manner in such a way that people form the wrong impression because something is taken out of context. You do have to understand though that in a community where people are working together towards the same goal, name calling and verbal abuse are very disruptive to the process.  Your opinions about other people in this community should be left in your head, not on talk pages.  If you disagree with someone there are ways to deal with that. Just in the future, try your best to make this a place where people feel that they can exchange ideas freely, without being singled out or called a name.  Oh and please leave your signature whenever putting personal messages on talk pages, it's good [[Wikipedia:Wikiquette|Wikiquette]].&mdash; <span style="color:#cc0000;">''oo64eva (AJ)'' </span><sup>([[User: oo64eva|U]] | [[User_talk:Oo64eva|T]] | [[Special:Contributions/Oo64eva|C]])</sup> @  16:10, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)

::I don't disagree with you my friend. I really tried not to present it in a biased fashion. I was only including the information relevent to the war crimes issue. But the full quote is better if people are sensitive to my edit and i have always welcomed people to insert the full quote. I am very pleased to see it. I didn't insult anyone except for perhaps "tree-hugger" but that was meant to be an exaggerated joke. Sort of like calling a little girl a nazi for not sharing her toys. It was a joke and i meant it that way. It's hard to tell peoples' tone from words though. Sorry for the confusion. What i said to Rhobite was just the truth and i hope he takes the advice so he can better his own bias and make Wikipedia a stronger community. I am not sure how to leave my signature so i will just add my online name.

Hello. I'm going round thanking everyone for voting for me, in accordance with wiki-tradition, so I'll start here and say thanks for the nomination, I really appreciate the support.

== Be careful! ==

The decay energy of [[tritium]] is 18.6 keV, not 18.6 MeV!  Fortunately it was in the article.  But if you did other isotopes, you should probably go and double-check the decay energies, because that's a pretty nasty error - it's actually not a totally unreasonable value, but it's definitely wrong. --[[User:Aarchiba|Andrew]] 03:22, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC)
:Thanks for the heads up.  I did in fact know that it was 18.6 keV.  What happened was I made it easier on the person entering the data so they wouldn't have to type MeV, the table would generate it since so many radioactive isotopes decay in the MeV range.  What happened was that when I was actually entering the data, I forgot it would come out to MeV.  Thanks for catching that, definatley good we have many editors. &mdash; <span style="color:#cc0000;">''oo64eva (AJ)'' </span><sup>([[User: oo64eva|U]] | [[User_talk:Oo64eva|T]] | [[Special:Contributions/Oo64eva|C]])</sup> @  06:38, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC)

== My RFA ==

Thank you for your comments on my RFA. Although the voting period just ended with a 14-8-2 vote, I will admit once and for all that I used it more as an evaluation of myself. Being promoted would have been a plus. I was more interested in who voted, when they voted, who would change their votes and when, and the comments I would receive. Hopefully I will correct the main weakness that was raised by those who voted oppose -- that I was too eager to put articles on VFD. Also, I will try to interact more with those Wikipedians who did not vote at all.

As for next month, I don't know if I will nominate myself again. I might not think about it until somebody else puts me up there on RFA at a later date. Eventually, I see myself as an admin, especially as the number of articles and users continues to grow. Thanks again and good luck at improving this vast archive of free knowledge.

Oooh, I didn't realize there was a full-fledged project. I just noticed that a few isotope articles had these ad-hoc html tables, so I replaced them with a uniform template. Feel free to edit it, of course - it probably needs spaces for the half-life, whether it decays alpha or beta, etc. Also I noticed that a lot of element articles like [[Uranium]] already had a table of common isotopes so I was wondering if that wasn't a better way to do it, rather than breaking it up into separate articles for each nuclide. BTW, is this the correct way to leave a message? --[[User:Keenan Pepper|Keenan Pepper]] 18:21, 14 May 2005 (UTC) (I think that's how to sign my name...)

Feel free to clean up the images I submitted for maps of the Chicago Community Areas; I wanted to fix them myself but it has been low on my list.

== Engineer without a map ==

As a Purdue Enigineering Alumni and current resident of Uptown, I have a small problem with your community area editing.

You are trying to be an engineer, right?  PLEASE learn how to read a map.  Buena Park is a neighborhood in the Community Area of Uptown.  Stop trying to change the boundaries of Lake View.  They are static and officially defined by the City of Chicago.

[[User:Jcrocker|J. Crocker]]

:I am always honored to meet fellow Purdue Engineering Alumni, so it is a pleasure to meet you and work with you on editing this wonderful encyclopedia.  I couldn't help but detect a certain distain in the context of your message.  As a resident of Uptown, your input is invaluable to helping accurately map the boundaries of the neighborhoods in the Community Area of Uptown. I am not a resident of Uptown, I live directly above West Ridge, so all I have to go on is a stack of Chicago maps and the help of others I know who live in those community areas. Several maps showed part of the Lakeview neighborhood to be in the bottom corner of Uptown. I also knew that Buena Park is an Uptown neighborhood, but could not find the exact boundaries, so I decided to leave it out of the image until somebody would come along and help me to place the neighborhood.  The Community Area editing I've been doing is a lot of work and I am very serious about accuracy.  My map reading skills have been called into question by you, so I would like further elaboration on what about my map reading skills are lacking?  I am always open to constructive criticism and correction, but please do it in a civil manner.

== fair enough... ==

Sorry to imply any sort of insult, but I am a little upset with the continual assault on my neighborhood/community area.  For years I've had to deal with people telling me that I live in some other neighborhood than Uptown when I am only a few blocks from "the uptown station".  Your misguided edit of the Uptown article is just the latest in these annoyances.

Neighborhood maps are created by developers to sell property.  Never trust that they represent anything other than the developer's own selfish interests.  Uptown has a negative connotation to many yuppies, and therefore developers will invent new names to avoid the dreaded "Uptown" label in order to sell their $300,000 condos.

The City of Chicago defines 77 Community Areas, and are the only officially defined boundaries of the city's cultural divisions.  Created in the early 20th century, there has been only one change to the community area map (Edgewater #77 was separated from Uptown #3).

The only area north of Irving Park Road that is in Lake View, is west of Clark street.  Park Place Tower, the tallest building in Chicago outside of "downtown", is a good dividing point between the community areas.  North of it is Uptown, south and including it is Lake View.


Furthermore I am a bit unsettled that my alma mater now accepts engineering students who don't know how to read maps.  I pray and pray that you are better at nuclear engineering than map reading, for if you are ever allowed near any large nuclear device it may signal the end of life on planet Earth.

I posted the above link to the community area maps for you, check it out.  Maybe I'll scan an image I have showing the "current" neighborhood boundaries within Uptown.  Most of them are obsolete, but they're still interesting.  No hard feelings... I'll refrain from deleting my talk page too.

== Chicago municipality infoboxes ==
Thanks, I'll be adding more here and there. Your city images are just great! Seeing the location adds a lot to the article. You may be right about the township affiliation; if so, listing one township is probably best, especially since the city/village is probably only slightly a part of another.

Just a question: I saw that you had changed a couple of population percentage changes compared to 1990. I'm not sure where the 1990 numbers are listed on census.gov, but [http://illinoisgis.ito.state.il.us/census2000/censusData/2000/docs/munichg.pdf here] is a document that would support the other figures. The Sun Times' website also lists these figures. Can you point me to the link where you were getting your numbers? [[User:HollyAm|HollyAm]] 03:10, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
:Exactly, not having the location mapped out in these articles definately lessens the significance a bit.

:About the percentage changes, that source you linked is great. I was doing the percentages by hand using the 1990 and 2000 populations from the census.gov homepage by typing in each city name.  I just figured out I was making a small mistake sometimes but not all the time. 
:The correct method to use (this was without the aid of your handy link) was (2000pop - 1990pop/1990pop) * 100.  What i was doing wrong sometimes was dividing by 2000pop instead.  I'll fix my mistakes.  Both of our sources are fine, I was just making unnecessary calculations leading to some errors. Thanks for pointing that out and keep up the good work. &mdash; <span style="color:#cc0000;">''oo64eva (Alex)'' </span><sup>([[User: oo64eva|U]] | [[User_talk:Oo64eva|T]] | [[Special:Contributions/Oo64eva|C]])</sup> @ 03:18, July 27, 2005 (UTC)

== Chicagoland ==
I can understand the possible desire to change the wording, and I see that Porter County, Indiana, is still listed on the separate Chicagoland page, but I am curious about why you (a year ago) edited the mention of Chicagoland out of the Porter County page, with your summary seeming to indicate that Porter County is not part of Chicagoland. [[User:IanHistor|IanHistor]] 20:01, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
:There is no standard when talking about the counties included in Chicagoland because Chicagoland is not a real place, just a conceptual name for the outlying communities of Chicago.  Everyone has a different opinion when it comes to what consitutes inclusion into "Chicagoland".  Talk to someone thirty years ago and they'll tell you that Chicagoland has five counties.  Two years ago, the [[Chicagoland]] article listed one county (Lake) in Indiana as part of Chicagoland. Last year the article listed two counties in Indiana that were part of Chicagoland. This year it's five counties.  Clearly as you can see, it's very debatable and technically you could call the entire midwest Chicagoland.  For the sake of uniformity, and my own personal definition, I believe that only Lake county Indiana should be included. &mdash; <span style="color:#cc0000;">''oo64eva (Alex)'' </span><sup>([[User: oo64eva|U]] | [[User_talk:Oo64eva|T]] | [[Special:Contributions/Oo64eva|C]])</sup> @ 04:37, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Very nice job on the chicago neighborhoods.  Would it be at all possible to have a map of all the numbered neighborhoods together at the top of the article?

'''Oo64eva:

I noticed in the map of the West Ridge area of Chicago and others bordering it that the North Shore Channel is called the Chicago River in the maps.  This is not accurate, The Channel flows into the Chicago River, but is not actually the River. Because I do not have Macromedia I am unable to change it. 

Could it be changed?

Hi, I am researching the boundaries on Chicago Neighborhoods/Community areas. Specifically I'm looking at the "sides" (South Side, Central, Far North Side, etc.) and I was wondering how you developed the boundaries for the sides for this map, since you did the original version: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Chicago_community_areas_map.svg.

Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:US-IL-Chicagoland-Arlington Heights.png]]'''. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the [[copyright]] status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{tl|GFDL-self}} to release it under the [[GFDL]]. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]], and then use a tag such as {{tlp|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 media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too.

What's your Image:Hydrogen-2.png supposed to be? It could do with some explanation. Is it some sort of rearrangement of the periodic table? I've no clue what's it's supposed to represent.

== West Chicago Infobox ==

I recently replaced the Geobox in [[West Chicago, Illinois]] with Template:Chicagoland municipality, but I do not know how to generate the US-IL-Chicagoland-West Chicago.png file for it. I saw from some other articles that you are experienced in working with these, so I imagine you can help; what do I need to do? -[[User:Rrius|Rrius]] ([[User talk:Rrius|talk]]) 09:08, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I don't know how to edit the PNG, but I am perfectly willing to if you tell me how. Otherwise, Hinsdale and Batavia (which is Kane and DuPage) need pics, and Wayne will when I get around to replacing the Geobox with the Chicagoland municipality template. -[[User:Rrius|Rrius]] ([[User talk:Rrius|talk]]) 17:57, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

May you could help on this.  The problem is 4 townships in 4 different counties.  I just can't get it to work in the template, but it does work outside the template (e.g. on Talk page).  Any help would be appreciated.

==Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Mort Goldman.png==
Thank you for uploading '''[[:Image:Mort Goldman.png]]'''. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]].  This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free|image copyright tag]]; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images/media|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions, please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|media copyright questions page]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:No fair -->[[User:BetacommandBot|BetacommandBot]] ([[User talk:BetacommandBot|talk]]) 15:59, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

: I do have a question: how do scientists agree that an isotope is stable? I remember seeing this for some element (cadmium?) that ppl say there are x stabe isotopes and y more that are theoretically unstable but thier half lives has not been measured yet (i.e. is too long). how many of the elements today have isotopes that are theoretically unstable but are still unknown in practice yet?

== [[:File:Johnharris.jpg]] needs authorship information ==

<div style="padding:5px; background-color:#E1F1DE;">'''Dear uploader:''' 

The media file you uploaded as [[:File:Johnharris.jpg]] appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source),
or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media
clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided), authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

*If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which: {{tlxs|usernameexpand|{{PAGENAME}}}} will produce an appropriate expansion,</br> or use the {{tl|own}} template.

* If this is an old image, for which the authorship is unknown or impossible to determine, please indicate this on the file description page.

If you have any questions please see [[Help:File page#File description|Help:File page]]. Thank you. [[User:Sfan00 IMG|Sfan00 IMG]] ([[User talk:Sfan00 IMG|talk]]) 00:32, 1 January 2012 (UTC)</div><!-- Template:Add-author -->

*[[:File:Strikeitrich.jpg]]
is missing a description and/or other details on its image description page. If possible, please add this information. This will help other editors make better use of the image, and it will be more informative to readers.

If the information is not provided, the image may eventually be proposed for [[Wikipedia:Guide to image deletion|deletion]], 
a situation which is not desirable, and which can easily be avoided.

[[File:Copyright-problem.svg|64px|left|alt=|link=]]
Thank you for uploading '''[[:File:US-IL-Chicagoland-Frankfort.png]]'''. 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, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the [[:File:US-IL-Chicagoland-Frankfort.png|image description page]].

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a [[Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion|request for undeletion]] and ask for a chance to fix the problem.<!-- Template:You can request undeletion -->
