Since I am new to wiki,it would be great if you can take a look at mine and give me some feedback or improve the acticle.Spaceel 15:26, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Dioxin in incineration article
Hi DMahalko, Thank you for your knowledgable contribution on dioxin to the incineration article. I have edited your contribution somewhat to integrate it better with the existing text. I also changed the info on auxiliary heatersburners, as they actually only work as backups in modern plants, not as general temperature aid. I hope you agree with these edits.

Sincerely, Claus Hindsgaul

That is a spectacular find. Good work, man. I've commented out some of the more personal notes, though - such Mahalko-focused details are really only relevant in userspace. DS (talk) 14:28, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Hawkins Guide redraws
If you are not happy with any of the redraws, ie. if I've made something unclear or done it wrong, then please tell me and revert it back to the original etc. I don't really have any idea what I'm drawing, well I know enough to know that the direction of a coil is important etc., but not the specifics... so it's possible I have omitted something important or made something unclear... So just let me know :) Thanks -- Borb (talk) 14:55, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Enhanced Random Articles
In response to Village_pump_(technical)/Archive_76, I have created the following script that you can use, called Enhanced Random Articles, which skips disambiguation and stub pages: User:Gary King/enhanced random article.js. Gary King ( talk ) 23:04, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Thanks! I don't have much experience with Javascript, so how are exclusions specified? Are they inserted directly into the code, by replacing where you have "undefined" in there?

 * Also, is there a way for me to give the script a list of article title keywords to exclude?

 * Is this inserted into the monobook.js, or whatever it is? DMahalko (talk) 07:26, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Edit Special:MyPage/skin.js. Insert the following code:

The .showDisambiguationPages is set to false, meaning not to show disambiguation pages (change to true to show them). Same with .showStubs; false means not to show stubs, true means to show them. The .patterns line is to exclude certain keywords from article titles. This is done like so:

.patterns = ['(album)', '(singer)', '(song)']

Which would exclude article titles with those keywords, so The Beatles (album), Pink (singer), and White Christmas (song) are excluded. Gary King ( talk ) 19:09, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Dioxins
Hi, I noticed your recent edit of the dioxin disambiguation stub to move all information relating to dioxin toxicity and contamination incidents to the article polychlorinated dibenzodioxins. I have to say I do not agree with this decision as many incidents mentioned, such as the Irish Pork Crisis, or the Belgian incident are in fact incidents of PCB contamination, with PCDDs forming on a very minor part of the overall "dioxin like toxin" load. I think the way things are arranged currently is counterintuitive and in some ways in accurate. A discussion is ongoing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Medicine/Toxicology_task_force#Dioxin as to the best way to re-organise the topic in a more coherent and accurate way.Arthurbagwaste (talk) 08:37, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Your addition of 3D material at computer vision

Your addition to disk formatting
I reverted your addition to disk formatting because it is inaccurate when you consider all disk drive history - most media had to be formatted to be accessed by the system and it had nothing to do with the somewhat unreliable mechanisms of some disk drives. BTW you could not tilt the earliest disk drives. In essence your addition was a non-sequitor. Some disk drives had unreliable mechanisms but most did not. Your conclusion that "The initial purpose of disk formatting was therefore to compensate for these mechanism misalignments and drifting" is simply not true.

Hi, I was looking at the top 30 newsgroups in the article Usenet.. Since this comes from early 2008, it might be helpful to update it.

Video barnstar

 * I second this note of thanks. A video like Commons:File:Forage harvester - forage wagon 320x240.ogv is an excellent contribution to making Wikipedia's coverage of economically important topics what it should be. Everyone relies on agriculture and industry for their material existence, but many people do not work in those areas and are not raised by parents who do, so if we expect people to be informed/educated about these major aspects of the world, we need good Wikipedia content to help inform them.

 * 1. I have migrated all images over from the Commons to Wikia, citing the Commons page for each one, for source/attribution.
 * 2. Added References/Reflist to bottom. Where'd it go from the original?
 * 3. Converted article wikilinks so that they still point back to Wikipedia-en. Underscores are needed in place of spaces for the cross-wiki link to work:
 * Daytime running lamp
 * (Oh wait, maybe not. A lack of underscores is not breaking cross-wiki links for article: http://catalog.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_7400_series_integrated_circuits
 * The Wikia easy-editing GUI does not handle the display of reference tags properly, but it all works normally as on Wikipedia after clicking Publish. To edit references, and links back to Wikipedia, use the "edit as Source" tab at the top.

 * Also I see on some occasions, wikipedia Templates will need to be copied over to Wikia but it's a one-time issue, and they appear to work properly over there.

University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war  according to the reverts you have made on University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. -- Mesconsing (talk) 23:51, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.

 * It is on topic and relevant to the article. That article is about all types of spam, as it is simply titled "Spam". The article is not titled "Wikipedia:Article Spam".

 * If I were to follow your logic then the most appropriate action is to turn the article into a disambiguation page, and create two new sub-articles, titled "Article Spam" and "Editor Spam".

 * DMahalko (talk) 06:26, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

 * I think the confusion is that the page is NOT an article, it is a "project page," that is, a page about or for the benefit of the administration of the English Wikipedia or the community of Wikipedia editors. Despite the title, is not meant to be a compendium of all possible ways spam interacts with Wikipedia.  It doesn't deal with IRC-spam on Wikipedia IRC channels, for example.  If you really want to get it added to that page, you might try opening a discussion on Wikipedia talk:Spam and see what the community consensus is.  The article is Spam, which is about spam in general.  davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)  16:55, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Boston Post Road

Other Boston Post Roads
There are current roads in towns such as Amherst, NH in other states in the US called "Boston Post Road". Should there be any mention? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.98.6.230 (talk) 21:31, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * No.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 18:32, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Attleborough City
Where is Attleborough City? What city or town is it in? Attleboro is on the state line, so if it the Post Road passed west of Attleboro, it was still in Rhode Island. Similarly, why is East Walpole, Massachusetts, a red link, better than East Walpole, Massachusetts? Is East Walpole not in Walpole? If not, what city or town is it in? AJD 06:57, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Attleborough City is the settlement along 123 between 1A and the split with Old Post Road, inside the town of Attleboro. The Post Road did not pass through the densest part of Attleboro. East Walpole is in Walpole, but it is a separate settlement and will hopefully one day have its own article. --SPUI (talk) 07:52, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Looks like most maps don't show Attleborough City, so I've replaced it with South Attleboro, a bit to the south and also on the route. --SPUI (talk) 08:16, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

A National Auto Trail?
Someone summarily deleted the following text. If this text is not in error, it should be returned to the article. Wetman (talk) 11:19, 28 December 2007 (UTC): ''In the 1910s and 1920s, the Lower Post Road alignment (and realignments made to the route) was a National Auto Trail known as the Boston Post Road. ''
 * My understanding is that there was no Trail Association that managed the Boston Post Road and it also did not have any special pole markers, so in that sense it is not technically an auto trail. However, many automobile guidebooks do refer to the Lower Post Road, at least, as the "Boston Post Road" and that may have given the impression that it was an auto trail. It was simply marked in New England as a red bannered (east-west) pole route. --Polaron | Talk 13:27, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

User:GoingRampant

Hi, I'm an editor with a specific interest in Jewish history, antisemitism, and Nazi Germany. This will be my main focus as an adult Wikipedian.

I've been an editor since I was young and immature, and my contributions history has silly and sometimes insensitive crap I'm not proud of. Let the browser beware. I pretty much disavow anything from before 2022, when I figured out I could improve Wikipedia as a means of helping myself learn research. I can read Wiki articles about what I'm reading about in nonfiction books, make sure I understand things enough to talk about them, and then update the articles to incorporate the research. This helps me retain the knowledge and make the world's knowledge repository better.

Dark Water (2005 film)

Dark Water is a 2005 American supernatural horror film directed by Walter Salles and written by Rafael Yglesias. It is a remake of the 2002 Japanese film of the same name, which was inspired by the short story "Floating Water" by Koji Suzuki, who also wrote the Ring trilogy. The film stars Jennifer Connelly, Tim Roth, John C. Reilly, Pete Postlethwaite, Perla Haney-Jardine, Dougray Scott and Ariel Gade.

Dark Water was released on July 8, 2005, and grossed $44.4–49.5 million worldwide. It is a co-production between the United States and the Philippines.

Plot
Dahlia battles her ex-husband Kyle for custody of their daughter Cecilia, a five-year-old kindergartener. Kyle wants Cecilia to live closer to his apartment in Jersey City, but Dahlia wants to move to the cheaper Roosevelt Island, where she has found a good school.

Dahlia and Cecilia decide to move to an apartment in a dilapidated complex on Roosevelt Island, a few blocks from Cecilia's new school. Cecilia finds a Hello Kitty backpack near the water tower on the roof. Shortly after they move in, the bedroom ceiling leaks dark water. Dahlia finds the apartment above flooded and a family portrait of the former tenants, the Rimsky family: a mother, father, and a girl who is Cecilia's age. She complains to the manager, Murray, and the superintendent, Veeck, about the water, but they do nothing. She is intimidated by ghostly visions and a recurring nightmare in which the girl's mother warns her not to tell the police what she's done to her own daughter or else she will harm Cecilia.

Cecilia's teacher is troubled by her "imaginary friend," Natasha, and Dahlia catches Cecilia talking to Natasha as well. In the bathroom, Cecilia passes out as dark water gushes from the toilets and sinks. As Dahlia is busy meeting her lawyer, Jeff Platzer, Kyle takes their daughter to his home.

That night, Dahlia sees water spilling from the water tower. Inside, she finds Natasha's body and calls the police, horrified. Veeck is arrested for negligence as he was aware of her body. This was why he refused to fix the complex's plumbing problems. Veeck claims that Natasha's parents paid him to keep quiet about their willful abandonment of their daughter. Dahlia and Platzer discover that Natasha's parents had indeed cruelly abandoned her. Left to fend for herself, Natasha fell into the water tower and drowned, leaving her a vengeful ghost who is jealous of Cecilia because she has a mother.

Dahlia agrees to move closer to Kyle to make shared custody easier. As she packs, Cecilia asks her to read to her. When she hears Cecilia playing in the bathtub, she realizes that the girl is Natasha, who begs her not to leave and attempts to drown Cecilia until Dahlia promises to be her mother. Floods overwhelm the apartment and drown Dahlia, and Natasha and Dahlia's ghosts walk the hall together.

3 weeks later, Kyle and Cecilia pick up the rest of her belongings in the old apartment. Dahlia's ghost braids Cecilia's hair in the elevator, telling her she will always be with her.

Cast

 * Jennifer Connelly as Dahlia Williams
 * Perla Haney-Jardine as young Dahlia Williams / Natasha Rimsky
 * Dougray Scott as Kyle Williams
 * John C. Reilly as Cory Murray
 * Ariel Gade as Cecilia "Ceci" Williams
 * Tim Roth as Jeff Platzer
 * Pete Postlethwaite as Mr. Veeck
 * Camryn Manheim as Ceci's Teacher

Filming locations

 * Roosevelt Island, New York City
 * Toronto, Ontario
 * Syosset High School in Syosset, New York
 * Chandler Valley Center Studios in Panorama City, Los Angeles

Box office
Dark Water played in 2,657 theaters with a complete average run of 3.2 weeks. The film made $10 million, which is 39% of the movie's total gross, on its opening weekend. It went on to make $25.5 million in the US and between $18.9 million and $24 million in the international box office, adding up to a worldwide box office total of $44.4 to $49.5 million.

Critical response
Dark Water holds a 47% approval rating at Rotten Tomatoes based on 154 reviews and an average score of 5.54/10. The site's critics' consensus reads: "All the atmospherics in Dark Water can't make up for the lack of genuine scares."

William Thomas described the film in Empire as "interesting and unsettling, but never terrifying. Best viewed as a family drama-come-Tale Of The Unexpected rather than a full-on horror". For Rolling Stone, Peter Travers wrote, "A classy ghost story is just the ticket in a summer of crass jolts... Screenwriter Rafael Yglesias (Fearless) stays alert to the psychological fears that underpin the supernatural doings in the apartment upstairs. Connelly digs deep into the role of a woman with issues of abandonment and rage that slowly reveal their roots. In a movie with more subtext than Rosemary’s Baby, nearly everyone, including Tim Roth as Dahlia’s lawyer, harbors secrets. Salles unleashes a torrent of suspense for one purpose: to plumb the violence of the mind."

Todd McCarthy of Variety called it "well-crafted but thoroughly unsuspenseful" and said it "is dripping with clammy, claustrophobic atmosphere, but ultimately reveals itself as just another mildewed, child-centric ghost story of little import or resonance." From The Washington Post, Ann Hornaday described the film as a "tasteful but unremitting bummer and yet one more case of an Oscar-winning actress proving that she can still do the kinds of disposable movies big awards are supposedly meant to banish from your résume forever." For Slant Magazine Nick Schager wrote that the film improves on the source material characterizations, while over explaining the supernatural events. He concluded by saying, "this slick adaptation is also a moldy, third-generation retread of The Ring."
