User:Derek Ross

My name is Derek and I was born in 1958 which makes me the right age to have lived through the 1960s and to remember it. I lived in the town of Arbroath on the east coast of Scotland for twenty-four years but moved to Calgary, Alberta at the beginning of 2003. More recently I have moved to the South Shore, Nova Scotia.

I have a wide range of interests and regularly used to travel abroad on business. In February, 2002 I visited Hungary for a week. In mid-April I went to the Empty Quarter for three weeks. I was in the Algerian central Sahara from mid-August until September and again in early December. In October 2004 I visited the city of Daqing (pronounced Da tshing) in Northern China for a few weeks. During 2005 my trips have all been to the southern United States. However from late 2005 until 2016, I spent most of my time in Calgary. In 2016 I moved to the South Shore of Nova Scotia where I am now ensconced for the foreseeable future. Aaah, life is good!

Thus although I have contributed regularly to the Wikipedia since mid-October 2001, as an IP user for the first few weeks and as a named user from mid-November, there are times when I haven't contributed as much as I would like.

Note that I no longer subscribe to the Wikipedia mailing lists, nor do I use IRC or any other off-wiki forum. I just don't think it's worthwhile and in any case I don't have the time. So bear in mind that I'm only aware of discussions that take place on Wikipedia talk pages (and not even most of them). As a result bang goes my cabal membership! But it doesn't bother me: some people like the community; some prefer the encyclopedia. I'm one of the latter.

I've started a whole lot of articles, including some whose earliest history has unfortunately been lost -- the Anders Hejlsberg article is was one of those -- but I don't see any point in putting down a big list here. We've all written plenty of stuff after all. Most of my work tends to be stubs, spelling, grammar and formatting changes since, sadly, I'm too lazy to like the effort involved in writing "big" articles. However I do sometimes forget myself and write a lot when I find a subject that I really like.

Strange but True
It is possible to edit nearly every day since 2001 on Wikipedia and still be an unknown to other contributors (well, most of them but not the fine people who have given me an award).

Don't know what I did to deserve this but, hey, I'll take what I can get.

Thanks, Amir!

It's usually seen as poor form to edit another editor's user page, but hey...

Gosh, it must be Christmas! Thanks, Jim. You might be surprised at just how pleased I am to be given one of these. It's funny how such a small gesture can have such a big effect. Cheers!

All Too Familiar But True
A little bit of truth disguised as a poem

 * No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
 * (So Shines a Good Deed in a Naughty World)
 * by Franklin Pierce Adams

 * There was a man in our town who had King Midas’ touch;
 * He gave away his millions to the colleges and such;
 * And people cried: “The hypocrite! He ought to understand
 * The ones who really need him are the children of this land!”

 * When Andrew Croesus built a home for children who were sick,
 * The people said they rather thought he did it as a trick,
 * And writers said: “He thinks about the drooping girls and boys,
 * But what about conditions with the men whom he employs?”

 * There was a man in our town who said that he would share
 * His profits with his laborers, for that was only fair,
 * And people said: “Oh, isn’t he the shrewd and foxy gent?
 * It cost him next to nothing for that free advértisement!”

 * There was a man in our town who had the perfect plan
 * To do away with poverty and other ills of man,
 * But he feared the public jeering, and the folks who would defame him,
 * So he never told the plan he had, and I can hardly blame him.

Machiavelli with Scientific Research and Laughs
If you want to Rule the World but fell asleep while reading The Prince, try this. It's entertaining and gives you the tools to identify the useful fools minions Loyal Followers that every Evil Overlord needs; tools to identify worthless do-gooders and the amoral, manipulative, lying scum trying to drag you down your competitors; plus handy guides to what can go wrong with this world-dominating lark, including useful tips on achieving Nuclear War, Global Warming, Overpopulation etc. Or avoiding them. Whatever floats your boat. The Actual Case Studies were very informative. Warning! May cause paranoia in those of a pessimistic nature.

The rumours that I am actively trying to take over the world and only edit Wikipedia as part of my nefarious plan have been much exaggerated. However it just so happens that -- for no particular reason -- I came across yet another excellent work on ermmm... practical politics. No really. It's been out for a while but I've just read it and found it entertaining and informative. It explains a lot. Definitely another strong recommendation for those who might wish to rule their local parish with an iron fist! Here's a review from the Guardian -- The Dictator's Handbook.

SF Authors that I like

 * Edgar Rice Burroughs -- Under the Moons of Mars
 * E. E. Smith -- Spacehounds of IPC
 * A. E. van Vogt -- The World of Null-A
 * Cordwainer Smith -- Norstrilia
 * Charles Harness -- The Paradox Men
 * Philip K Dick -- The Man in the High Castle
 * Ursula K. Le Guin -- Semley's Necklace
 * Stanislaw Lem -- The Cyberiad
 * Kurt Vonnegut -- Slaughterhouse-Five
 * Iain Banks -- Consider Phlebas

I'm not sure what they have in common but I love them all for one aspect of their writing or another. Each of them has written at least one story (indicated above) which is in a class by itself.

20th Century
It occurs to me that, whatever the calendar may say, the 20th century started in 1914 with the Great War and is still going on. I wonder what it will take to bring it to an end ? My guess is the coming Peak Oil crisis. (Almost right. Looks like the change is being effected by the ongoing Global Financial Crisis).

Yup. I would say the 21st century actually started in 2008. Not too keen on how it's going so far...

Hi, Could you recommend any further reading on the Raven Paradox? I'm an electrical engineer but ny knowledge of formal logic (that isnt boolean) is light.--Socrates6 (talk) 19:13, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi LC, I left a question for you at Talk:NP-Hard. AxelBoldt 22:01 Dec 18, 2002 (UTC)

Another issue came up at Talk:EXPTIME. AxelBoldt 18:59 Feb 9, 2003 (UTC)

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
 * Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
 * Multi-Licensing Guide
 * Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the " " template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace " " with "  ". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Formula for primes
(I left the following comment on another editor's page, not realizing you added the formula originally) Please see the Talk page, where another editor has removed your formula for primes. I tested it, and it seemed to work, but we both agree that a source would be good for the information. My quick check of the web didn't provide any results, and I was hoping you had a source to use. Actually it doesn't seem too hard to prove, but I think wikipedia's policy on original research would disqualify that. So, how 'bout it? Care to dig up the 'ol number theory books? — vijay (Talk) 01:10, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

 * There's now a proof on Talk:Formula for primes. —Lowellian (reply) 04:23, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia's Expert Peer Review process (or lack of such) for Science related articles
Hi - I posted the section with the same name on my talk page. Could you take part in discussion ? Thanks ARP Apovolot (talk) 21:26, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Your user talk page
Hi LC, I found your user talk page while checking out some old edits. I have history merged it, so all edits are now in one place. Hope you don't mind. Graham 87 12:47, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Suspension of admin privileges due to inactivity
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative privileges of users who have been inactive for one year, meaning administrators who have made neither any edits nor any logged actions in over one year. As a result of this discussion, your administrative privileges have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these privileges reinstated, please post to the Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts. RL0919 (talk) 21:47, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Like Newyorkbrad, I am thrilled that one of our earliest contributors may have returned - but as indicated above, bureaucrats must be reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised prior to undertaking a resysop request. Is there anyone still active who might be able to confirm your identity? Also - could log in from your home internet connection to certify your request? – xeno talk 02:16, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
 * As an FYI, your request was closed without action, pending your return and response to the unanswered queries. – xeno talk 18:23, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called LC. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name LC~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:15, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 15:13, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Invitation to join the Fifteen Year Society
Dear ,

I'd like to extend a cordial invitation to you to join the Fifteen Year Society, an informal group for editors who've been participating in the Wikipedia project for fifteen years or more.

Krzysztof P. Jasiutowicz - a busy GP and Wikipedian (admin).

I believe I can call myself one of the real old-timers with Internal ID number 11 and my first edit recorded by user edit counter statistics dated 2001-05-06 17:31 Some people call me a Wikipedia dino.

As far as I can remember I joined Wikipedia after a Nupedia mailing list announcement in Spring 2001. In 2001 I used to be quite active in Wikipedia (there was the only one English Wikipedia then) contributing and taking active part in discussions about shaping of Wikipedia structure and internals. But in September 2001 the Polish Wikipedia was born and I was busy with the budding project. Nowadays due to my lack of spare time I am only occasionally active in the English Wikipedia and I'm usually available on the Polish language version of Wikipedia and Wikivoyage. See my user page on the Polish Wikipedia and Wikivoyage.

User:AxelBoldt

My name is Axel Boldt and I teach mathematics at Metropolitan State University in Saint Paul, Minnesota. In addition to mathematics, I'm interested in molecular biology, theoretical computer science, physics, astronomy, free software, (political) philosophy, chess, and many other things. My home page is at math-www.uni-paderborn.de/~axel/.

Since I believe that "intellectual property rights" do not exist (as we mere mortals cannot arrogate the right to own parts of Plato's eternal heaven of ideas), every word I write is by default, and always, in the public domain.

Wikipedia writings

 * I oppose the image filter proposal.
 * I am against advertisements on Wikipedia.
 * I think that Wikipedia would be much improved if only people who have provided their real name were allowed to edit the encyclopedia. See real name proposal for the details.
 * Adding references to statements in Wikipedia, while useful, does not increase the trustworthiness of the encyclopedia. See References don't increase Wikipedia's reliability.
 * My list of usability problems in Wikipedia, partly addressed by the usability initiative of 2010.
 * I have access to electronic archives of most newspapers, magazines and scientific journals. If you need an article, [mailto:axelboldt@yahoo.com email me] and I'll send it to you.
 * Let's switch to the CC-BY-SA license. Done!
 * Notes for a talk about Wikipedia I gave in 2006: Wikipedia Talk.
 * How to let go and prevent burnout as a Wikipedia editor: An article is a collection of revisions.
 * The support software I endorse for editing Wikipedia: Support Software

Suggestion: Wikinator
With so many websites using MediaWiki, how about a version of reasonator that outputs in wikitext so it can be pasted in directly?

For example if there was a "fandom" wiki page for an actor people would be able to fill the information wikidata has for them.

This might also encourage people (as a starting point for creating a wiki page) to first gather the information into wikidata.

The idea could also be extended to other markup languages for example Atlassian (JIRA) Wiki (confluence) uses "markdown" Back ache (talk) 10:00, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

With so many wikipedia pages that'd benefit from an infobox, and the "spotty" support in infobox templates for wikidata how about a version of reasonator that outputs in as the wikitext for an infobox so it can be pasted in directly? Back ache (talk) 10:05, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I wrote something similar years ago, but it was difficult to adjust it to more case types, and I have not had the time to think about crowdsouring that aspect; I'll give it some thought. Thanks for the suggestion! --Magnus Manske (talk) 12:53, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Wikidata Tools
Hello! I noticed that some editing monitoring tools on Wikidata, User edits and WD edit stats, are malfunctioning. My name is Vicente Detoni, I am part of the brazilian project Mais Teoria da História na Wiki, and this year we are promoting an editing campaing in the Wikimedia universe called Mais Mulheres. We want to improve our mechanisms for evaluating the edits made, and the tools mentioned above could help us a lot with this. Could you investigate what might be happening? Do the tools have any documentation I could consult? Thank you in advance. Vsdetoni (Projeto Mais+) (talk) 13:17, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Hey, @Magnus Manske, when you get a chance, could you take a look at this for me? Vsdetoni (Projeto Mais+) (talk) 17:04, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi @Vsdetoni, I think my "herding sheep" tool might help you (this is us this month on Wikidata). You can set a project, a a category with users or a manual user list on that project, and a start/end time (optional). It will show all the edits, plus a summary.
 * QuickCounter was broken because some database tables changed, I fixed it now. Gives you basic statistics on a user.
 * UserEdits gives you edits on Wikidata for a specific user. You can filter on time range and actions. You can also give a SPARQL query, and only edits in one of the resulting items will be shown. This you editing research institutes.
 * You can also get a simple edit count for all users who edited items from a SPARQL query. This shows how often users edited research institutes on 2024-07-01.
 * SparqlRC can give you the same but with a lot more details.
 * If you need a bespoke tool, let me know what you imagine, I can probably patch something up. --Magnus Manske (talk) 12:42, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Cat-a-lot
Hey! I'm not sure if you still deal with Cat-a-lot, but if you do, could you take a look at this? It may have also been reported back in February, but it doesn't look like anyone knows how to fix it at the moment. If you happen to know how to, it'd be greatily appreciated, since there are a ton of categories and files to recategorize at bs.wiki, and Cat-a-lot is truly the easiest way to do it. All the best, – Srđan (talk) 14:37, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Quick Intersection down?
Hey, I believe that your tool Quick Intersection is currently offline. Is it a bug or did you stop to support it ? Thanks in advance, 🐢 Monsieur Tortue (💬) 16:29, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I thought I had replaced this years ago with PetScan? Could you give me the URL where you found Quick Intersection? Thanks! --Magnus Manske (talk) 12:42, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Here are some search results. I'm not seeing anything public-facing. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:58, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
