Talk:India national rugby union team

Untitled
I don't think teams that have never qualified for a world cup should have a page, 92nd in the world - we do not need 92 articles on national rugby union teams as the standard of play falls very quickly after the first 10. GordyB 12:48, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

It looks like I'm going to lose this. The difference between the Indian rugby union team and the Monaco football team is that 99.9% of Indians have never heard of rugby union where as in Monaco football is the number one summer sport and if there wasn't an article on Monagesque football there'd be no articles on Monagesque sport at all. I don't think it is possible to expand the article, the Indian rugby union don't have any staff at all and as a consequence have no website or press officers. I'd rather see one page with mini articles on 'minnow nations'.GordyB 21:37, 13 July 2005 (UTC) I'll remove the tag as I'm obviously on a loser. Don't see the point in waiting 7 days.GordyB 23:30, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep We have articles on every team in the NFL and NHL. We have articles on every national team the US has for every sport (whether they're any good or not). So no reason we can't have one for the Indian Rugby Team (though it needs work done on it to expand it). Ben W Bell 13:07, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Ben W Bell. Meelar (talk) 14:11, July 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - although possibly move to Indian national rugby union team as per all the other rugby union national teams. Sam Vimes 15:03, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and move to the standard name form. The world doesn't need Wikipedia, but let's try to make it as comprehensive as possible anyway. CalJW 16:45, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and move to proper name. We have an article on the Monaco national football team (and every other national football team in the world). I would love if every national team in every notable sport had an article on Wikipedia. -- Elisson • Talk 20:09, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment I've expanded the article a bit now, and as India's results improve, there's still more to beef it out with. Who knows, one day an Indian rugby fan will expand it even more. There are 13,200 players after all, some of them are bound to have computers. Although, if you wish to start an article on all the minnow nations and incorporate this content...Be bold! Sam Vimes 21:59, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

I didn't think a decent article could be made here but congrats to Sam Vimes. Not bad for a evening's work.GordyB 22:32, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Cheers. :) Just shows what a bit of digging at the IRB site can do. One of the most useful results databases I've seen an international board have - everything else was just rephrasing, really. Sam Vimes 22:37, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Sirin

Sirin is a mythological creature of Russian legends, with the head of a beautiful woman and the body of a bird (usually an owl), borrowed from the siren of the Greek mythology. According to myth, the Sirin lived in Iriy or around the Euphrates River.

History
The legend of Sirin might have been introduced to the Rus' by Persian merchants in the 8th–9th centuries. In the cities of Chersonesos and Kiev she is often found on pottery, golden pendants, even on the borders of Gospel books of the 10th–12th centuries. Due to this history, Russian culture has experienced a very strong correlation with the Byzantine Empire through its steppes, the Volga River and Dnieper River. Pomors often depicted Sirin on the illustrations in the Book of Genesis as birds sitting in paradise trees.

Later, in the 17th–18th centuries, the image of Sirin changed and she started to symbolize world harmony (as she lives near paradise). People in those times believed only happy people could hear a Sirin, while only very few could see one because she is as fast and difficult to catch as human happiness. She symbolizes eternal joy and heavenly happiness.

Folklore
This half-woman half-bird is directly based on the later folklore about sirens. She was usually portrayed wearing a crown or with a nimbus. Sirin sang beautiful songs to the saints, foretelling future blisses. The bird was dangerous. Men who heard her would forget everything on earth, follow her, and ultimately die. People would attempt to save themselves from Sirin by shooting cannons, ringing bells and making other loud noises to scare the bird off.

According to folk tales, at the morning of the Apple Feast of the Saviour day, Sirin flies into the apple orchard and cries sadly. In the afternoon, the Alkonost flies to this place, beginning to rejoice and laugh. Alkonost brushes dew from her wings, granting healing powers to all fruits on the tree she is sitting on.

Sometimes Sirin is seen as a metaphor for God's word going into the soul of a man. Sometimes she is seen as a metaphor of heretics tempting the weak. Sometimes Sirin was considered equivalent to the Wila. In Russian folklore, Sirin was mixed with the revered religious writer Saint Ephrem the Syrian. Thus, peasant lyrists such as Nikolay Klyuev often used Sirin as a synonym for poet.

In popular culture

 * Alternative band Birds of Tokyo have a track named "Sirin" on their March Fires Album.
 * Author Vladimir Nabokov published under the pseudonym Sirin.
 * A Moog synthesizer uses the name "Sirin: Analog Messenger of Joy".
 * The Chinese Mobile game Honkai Impact 3rd features a Slavic girl from Belarus named Sirin, as one of the game's major antagonists.
 * "Songbird" Sirin is a female companion in the game Tyranny, who enchants people's minds with her singing.

Chuigushou

Chuigushou is a type of traditional percussive musical ensemble most often used at weddings and funerals by the Han Chinese, which usually accompanies a double reed instrument called a suona. This type of folk music is diverse, sometimes happy, sometimes sad, and often based on Western Pop music and TV theme songs.

Background
The Han Chinese, who make up some 92% of the population of China, play heterophonic music in which the musicians play versions of a single melody line. Percussion accompanies most music, dance and opera. Han folk music thrives at weddings and funerals and usually included a double reed instrument called a suona and percussive ensembles called chuigushou. The music is diverse, sometimes jolly, sometimes sad, and often based on Western Pop music and TV theme songs.

Instrumental pieces played on an erhu or dizi are popular, and are often available outside of China, but qin, pipa and zheng music, which is more traditional, are more popular in China itself. The qin is perhaps the national instrument of China, and its virtuosos are stars. These include Zha Fuxi, Wu Wen'guang, Lin Youren, Wu Jinglue, Wu Zhaoji, Guan Pinghu, Zhang Zijian, Li Xiangting, and Gong Yi. The zheng, a form of zither, is most popular in Henan, Chaozhou, Hakka, and Shandong. The pipa, a kind of lute, believing introduced from Arab areas during 6th century and improved, is most popular in Shanghai and surrounding areas.

Please limit your statement to 500 words

Summary: The main issue is that User:Alfrem constantly removes the words Political Philosophy from Libertarianism. We feel that he is POV-pushing and ignoring the other views and edits of other editors.

User:Alfrem constantly removes the words and wikilink "political philosophy" from Libertarianism. When he demanded evidence, this was provided in the form of a footnote: we reference the Encyclopedia Britannica, MSN Encarta and the opinion of Don Franzen, who wrote a review of "Neither Left Nor Right" in the Los Angeles Times Book Review Desk.

Several editors have asked him to provide evidence that Libertarianism is not a political philosophy, however each time Alfrem has apparently dodged the question. When I pointed out to him that we have sourced this fact, he replied that we have not provided evidence! The foonote is clear, however. Alfrem is well aware of the footnote, because he keeps removing it.

I put to the community that Alfrem's behaviour should have been accepted the first time he removed the phrase, this is only fair. However, many of us have left messages on his talk page asking for sources to back up what he is saying, and we have debated this with him considerably on the talk page, to no avail. Every time that Alfrem removes the wikilink to political philosophy, one of us has to put it back again, and this is highly disruptive to Wikipedia.

I would also like to raise the concern that Alfrem, when he starts to lose an argument, starts to call others "trolls". This is a personal attack, and ad hominem besides. Alfrem seems to have also expressed a desire "win" his POV by constantly reverting. He stated on the talk page that "Your edit war don't will get any end. --Alfrem 20:30, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)"''

Ta bu shi da yu 7 July 2005 08:48 (UTC)

There is lots of evidence (with links to specific diff pages) in Requests_for_comment/Alfrem. If asked, I will recopy them here. The "highlights" are that we provided him with at least twelve sources and he came up with zero, yet continued his revert war, and that he called me an "idiot," and my arguments "silly" and "bullshit". Nearly all of his edits have been POV warring on libertarianism and related pages (anarcho-capitalism], non-aggression principle, etc.) Dave (talk) July 7, 2005 13:08 (UTC)

 * Note: My above statement about "nearly all" of his edits being edit wars (while true if you look at his whole edit history since joining) may not be true of his more recent behavior, some of which has been constructive. He seems to have produced a few good edits to Anarcho-capitalism in recent days.  I would still argue that unless he significantly changes his behavior, he will remain a net drain on the project, however this change gives some hope.  July 7, 2005 13:21 (UTC)

 * As of this morning he's still reverting edits in Libertarianism and calling Ta bu shi da yu's edits vandalism, even thought they are just reverts, in his edit summaries. --Malathion 9 July 2005 13:06 (UTC)

 * His edits on libertarianism mentioned in the above comment included adding a politics template (which looked like this at the time) to the article to spite me. The fact that he immediately went back to removing references to politics means that NPOV is not his goal in this issue: stirring up trouble is.  Additionally, he reverted my actions on my talk page and reverted the template:elections talk page 4 times in 8 hours--which I consider vandalism.  Dave (talk) July 9, 2005 15:48 (UTC)

 * Concur with compaint. User:Alfrem is a reactionary reverter without providing ANY coherent justification for his edits.  Further, on his edits, he is either purposely attempting to stir up trouble or just does not understand simple things.  The other editors have information that seems to indicate a little of both.  --17:00, July 11, 2005 (UTC)  (note, this was written by user:noitall  )

Alfrem banned from Libertarianism
Enacted on 19:58, July 13, 2005 (UTC)

Pending resolution of this matter is banned from editing of Libertarianism. It shall be presumed that any user, such as who makes Alfrem's trademark edit, removal of the phrase "Libertarianism is a political philosophy," from the article is a sockpuppet of Alfrem. Such sockpuppets may be banned indefinitely if practical.

=Final decision = All numbering based on /Proposed decision (vote counts and comments are there as well)

Edit warring
1) Edit wars are usually considered harmful, because they cause ill-will between users and negatively destabilize articles. Users are required to respect the three-revert rule and to avoid edit-warrior behavior, and are encouraged to explore alternate methods of dispute resolution, such as talk page discussion, negotiation, surveys, then requests for comment, mediation, or, finally, Arbitration.

 * Passed 5-0

Reasonableness and disruption/Ownership of articles
2) Editors are expected to behave reasonably with respect to editing and dealing to other users. Editing practices that cause disruption to the normal functioning of Wikipedia—such as the persistant removal of a phrase or sentence, and the reversion of its restoration—will not be tolerated. In addition Wikipedia articles, do not have 'owners' or 'custodians 'who control edits to them. Instead, they are "owned" by the community-at-large, and come to a consensus version by means of discussion, negotiation, and/or polling.

 * Passed 5-0

Removal of references, sources, and explanatory material
3) Removal of references, sources, and explanatory material from articles without a compelling reason, especially when other users object, is generally considered inappropriate.

 * Passed 5-0

Conflict with other editors
1) has come into conflict with multiple Wikipedians over his edits to libertarianism, Template:Elections, anarcho-capitalism, and non-aggression principle. These users include, , and.

 * Passed 5-0

Inappropriate editing habits
2) has exhibited inappropriate editing habits on libertarianism, Template:Elections, anarcho-capitalism, and non-aggression principle, through a hostile attitude towards other users, the removal of endnotes and explanatory material, and many reverts.

 * Passed 5-0

Violation of official policy/three-revert rule
3) has violated Wikipedia policies and guidelines, especially as it relates to the three-revert rule. This has led to his blocking on several occasions.

 * Passed 5-0

Use of IP address to circumvent ban
4) has used the IP address  to circumvent a temporary Arbitration-ordered block on editing the libertarianism article.

 * Passed 5-0

Remedies
Note: All remedies that refer to a period of time, for example to a ban of X months or a revert parole of Y months, are to run concurrently unless otherwise stated.

Three-month ban on editing libertarianism-related articles
1) Due to a pronounced inability to work productively with other users, is hereby prohibited from editing libertarianism or libertarianism-related articles for three months. If Alfrem edits libertarianism or a libertarianism-related article, any administrator may block him for a period not less than one day and not exceeding two weeks. This does not include talk pages.

 * Passed 5-0

MacInnes Chief
Hi, I read Sir Donald was the current MacInnes Clan Chief on said Clan's official site somewhere. I'm still trying to find the exact URL again. If it's wrong or there's some other listing that ought to be used, then certainly roll it back. --BenM 10:35, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Ah, cool, I think I might've mis-interpreted the head of the Association as also being the Chief. Whoops. --BenM 10:56, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Great Work, Mark...
Great picture of Lyon Grant, Mark. Thanks for putting it on wikipedia. Dave Boven 21:27, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I think that a Scottish Heraldry page would be great. All I've got to go on is Innes of Learney's Scots Heraldry.  For now, I'm just trying to focus on general heraldry pages.  Now, if Clan Nesbit were to get a private herald, I might be able to add a page for that officer.  Have a great day. dave Boven 08:52, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I also just noticed that the current Chief of Clan Nesbitt has no wikipedia page of his own. A travesty... --Boven 20:14, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Mark...I've started a page on Scottish Heraldry. It is very poor at present, but it is something to work from.  Mostly incoherent bits and pieces from my limited library.  Any help is greatly appreciated. DaveBoven 15:46, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Armigerous families
You're quite right about Scottish clans and armigerous families. I hadn't checked my facts about Veitch and Jardine - just knew that they werre both closely associated with my own Porteous family in Tweeddale and Annandale (along with the Tweedies) and made an assumption. So thanks for pointing out the error. Regards Bruce, aka Agendum | Talk 23:00, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Emmer in .ch
Hi, yes, I'm pretty sure Emmer is being grown in .ch (I live here). It's not exactly the most common type of wheat, but it is definitely there, and at least one of the largest food store chains (Migros) is selling Emmer bread as part of its normal offerings.

Untagged image
An image you uploaded, Image:Chiefarms.jpg, was tagged with the coatofarms copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as seal.

Fair use rationale for Image:Kamut.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Kamut.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 13:33, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Clan Naisbitt
Please see the discussion page.

I don't believe that the Naisbitt names are exclusively nor even at all 'Scottish', the name descends from Northumbria (which did encompass a small part of what is now Scotland) and the majority of the names descendants fell on the south side of the divide. This is another act of false popular belief. Garynaisbitt (talk) 06:33, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Hello again Mark, regarding the Naisbitt variations in England, you are right that the name does not appear on the census records pre 1701, which wa sthe first comprehensive census for Northumberland and Durham, no the wonder they didn't appear in 'England' before that.

Image source problem with Image:Blackdown.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Blackdown.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, 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, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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 Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See 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 uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 19:15, 21 July 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. OsamaK 19:15, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

Speedy deletion of Image:Hydrogen Density Plots.jpg
A tag has been placed on Image:Hydrogen Density Plots.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is a redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on  explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Depiction from File:Hydrogen Density Plots.png
This plot is a bit misleading and should be corrected. The plot is obviously a probability distribution (as subtitled) not a wave-function plot as titled. Title and Subtitles should be reversed. Furthermore, the gradient bar ranging from minus (-) to positive (+) is very misleading and confusing. A probability cannot be negative. It appears the intended range is zero (0) to one (1) [from black through violet, orange, and yellow to white]. It's a very nice depiction that is just in need of a little polishing. As it stands it's misleading students who stumble onto this page. Pnictogen (talk) 16:04, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Well, in my experience it's very hard not to confuse students to begin with, although I do agree there's room for improvement. Thank you for your feed back. I'll look into it. PoorLeno (talk) 10:59, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 22:21, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

You made an entry there in 2006. Could you go back and add more information - Such as "1 st russian ex-spies" - what did you mean by "st"? - or should it be run together to be 1st? Add the type of class you did this for to this entry. been a while, do you now think that was unique to that professor/ class / university, or do you realize same question used at other universities.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

Request for usurpation
Hello, Izitpajn. A request has been made via Changing username/Usurpations to usurp, or "take over", your username because another user would like to use it to edit. The changing username guideline allows a username that is not being actively used to be usurped if the user is given an opportunity to object and does not do so.

If you do not object to being renamed to a new username in order for another user to use the name you currently have, please log in and post a reply here saying so (you may also tell us what username you would like to be renamed to, or we will provide you with a generic one) or use Special:GlobalRenameRequest.

If you do nothing : the request may be filled shortly, and your account will be moved to a generic username. You may request that it be moved to a new username of your choice at any time.

If you object to being renamed : please log in and make an edit to this page clearly stating that you object to usurpation. Any objection on your part will prevent usurpation.

Please note that even if your current username is usurped, you can still edit and your data will not be lost; your preferences, watchlist, and other user settings will be transferred to a new username.

Thank you for your time. — k6ka  🍁 ( Talk ·  Contributions ) 19:15, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

Talk:PT-76

I don't know who wrote that the PT-76 was replaced by the BMP-1 but that's not the case. The two were designed for quite different missions and while some operators might have used the BMP as a light tank the Soviets didn't use it for that.

 * Wasn't the PT-76 replaced by the BMP-R in the reconnaissance role (the statement in the article is still wrong)? —Michael Z. 2005-07-13 14:25 Z

August Coup
I saw a picture of more than 15 of these going down Moswcow streets,but they could have been the BMP-1. Dudtz 7/20/05 2:19 PM EST

Plavayushchy or Plavuchii
Our article says "Plavayushchy Tank (Плавающий Танк)", but I have a published source that says Plavuchii Tank. Any idea which is correct, or if it even matters? —Michael Z. 2005-10-21 17:09 Z

"Плавающий" literally means "one that swims" (i.e. has one role and that is swimming), whereas "плавучий" is more like "amphibious". Hence logically, it would seem that the tank was called the latter but I have no certain information about this --72.137.194.104 00:09, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Volgograd Tractor Factory
I changed the factory's name which built the PT-76 but on the following website it states the vehicle wasn't built there until 1958. http://www.aeronautics.ru/archive/armored_vehicles/pt-76.htm

Ben Het
According to this the clash at Ben Het took place on 3 March 1970, not 3 March 1969. Meanwhile the of the destroyed tank gives the year as 1968. Which of these is correct? Drutt (talk) 07:05, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * On closer examination, both the 1969 and 1970 dates are stated by this source, so I'll assume the 1970 date is a misprint. Drutt (talk) 07:17, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Copyediting
I have just spent most of a weekend editing this article down from a massive 56000 bytes to a more managable (and comprehensible) 48000, a lot more could be trimmed I'm sure, but I'm not the one to do it; what is the optimal article length?

There are still some things that I don't understand. For instance, there are over 60 template and 9 category entries on the edit page. but I can't get at them. Don't they need editing as well? If so, how? RASAM (talk) 18:51, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Number built.
Hello, the data table says approximately 12,000 vehicles were built, but the service history mentions 5,000 with 2,000 being exported; is it possible to clarify the correct number please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.177.42.131 (talk) 19:33, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

"Its V-6 6-cylinder 4-stroke in line water-cooled diesel engine..."
"Its V-6, 6-cylinder, 4-stroke, in line, water-cooled, diesel engine..." The engine is a water cooled, 4-stroke diesel, and it has 6 cylinders, but is it a v6, or does "in line" describe the water cooling? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.185.65.202 (talk) 19:37, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
 * V-6 is the model number of the engine, which is a straight six - effectively half of the V12 engine that powers the T-54.Nigel Ish (talk) 20:14, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I rewrote the sentence so it should be less confusing. BP OMowe (talk) 19:54, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Came here due to my confusion from the infobox- trying to think of a concise way to improve the "engine" entry there. Perhaps "Model V-6"?

Iran
This source, which itself cites Islamic Republican newspaper, 10/3/90 (Solar Hejri calender), mentions "one GSP bridge company" participating in Operation Beit-ol-Moqaddas. It is apparently refering to the Zafar Company, 414th Combat Engineer Battalion of Ground Forces of Islamic Republic of Iran Army which participated in the operation. --Z 08:39, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

Issue with vane design description in 'Water Mobility' subsection
The section states "When not in use the trim vane is stowed in the front of the bow over the barrel of the main gun and serves as additional armor." It's talking about a slab of metal that assists in planing, called the 'bow flap' in the failed Marine Corps Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle. Even without looking at pictures of the PT-76, one has to think 'how in the hell would it fold over the barrel of the main gun?' Then looking at images of the tank it looks like it just folds about 10" over the lip of the upper glacis plate.

I'm almost positive that's not right, but since I don't know anything about this particular tank I figured I would just mention it here. Some Soviet amor expert take it from here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SoLongSidekick (talk • contribs) 22:53, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Water "inlets" on hull
"There are also additional assistant water-jet inlets on both sides of the hull over the last road wheels."

From the following description of how the system works, those would appear to be the reverse flow outlets that let the vehicle reverse and take over the water flow when the main outlets are closed. I see no other openings our ports that look like they would work for that, and from the photograph of the swimming PT-76s, they are far too high above the water to function as inlets anyway. Maybe the editor just wasn't aware that "inlet" specifically means an opening for the entry of a fluid, rather than a general term for any port.

Although are we sure that those are actually swimming tanks in that photo? I didn't expect it to float anywhere near that high in the water. I thought they were just fording in that photograph. As far as I can tell that leaves more that half of the volume of the hull above water level, which is usual for an armored amphibious vehicle. I guess those hollow road wheels really help a lot.

Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Alfrem/Evidence

Anyone, whether directly involved or not, may add evidence to this page. Please make a header for your evidence and sign your comments with your name.

When placing evidence here, please be considerate of the arbitrators and be concise. Long, rambling, or stream-of-conciousness rants are not helpful.

As such, it is extremely important that you use the prescribed format. Submitted evidence should include a link to the actual page diff; links to the page itself are not sufficient. For example, to cite the edit by Mennonot to the article Anomalous phenomenon adding a link to Hundredth Monkey use this form:.

This page is not for general discussion - for that, see talk page.

Please make a section for your evidence and add evidence only in your own section. Please limit your evidence to a maximum 1000 words and 100 diffs, a much shorter, concise presentation is more likely to be effective. Please focus on the issues raised in the complaint and answer and on diffs which illustrate behavior which relates to the issues.

If you disagree with some evidence you see here, please cite the evidence in your own section and provide counter-evidence, or an explanation of why the evidence is misleading. Do not edit within the evidence section of any other user.

Be aware that the Arbitrators may at times rework this page to try to make it more coherent. If you are a participant in the case or a third party, please don't try to refactor the page, let the Arbitrators do it. If you object to evidence which is inserted by other participants or third parties please cite the evidence and voice your objections within your own section of the page. It is especially important to not remove evidence presented by others. If something is put in the wrong place, please leave it for the arbitrators to move.

Evidence presented by Ta bu shi da yu

 * 1) 03:56, 22 June 2005
 * Alfrem removes political philosophy and changes it to philosophy. I reverted this because the only edit summary is "-POV"
 * 1) 17:53, 22 June 2005.
 * Alfrem again removes political philosophy and changes it to philosophy with the edit summary "-POV"
 * Note: in the interest of fairness, Alfrem did comment on the talk page detailing why he removed the term. Time posted is 13:04, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) 23:05, 22 June 2005
 * Alfrem removes term again.
 * 1) 22:53, 23 June 2005
 * Alfrem reverts, removing term again
 * 1) 01:52, 24 June 2005

 * 2) 16:31, 24 June 2005
 * Term removed again by Alfrem.
 * 1) 16:50, 24 June 2005

 * 1) 02:47, 27 June 2005
 * Alfrem removes "political philosophy" again, replaces it with "Libertarianism is a anti-political philosophy". ref template is not removed, this still sources it as a political philosophy! This is disruptive: we look ridiculous because of it. Also, no sources are provided by Alfrem.
 * 1) 09:18, 27 June 2005
 * Alfrem removes term "political philosophy" again
 * 1) 09:19, 27 June 2005

Evidence presented by malathion
Since the arbitration was accepted and was temporarily banned from editing Libertarianism while the committee makes its final decision, he appears to be logging out so he can edit the article anonymously from a sockpuppet at.

 * 1) 03:48, 13 July 2005
 * Leaves a comment in Talk:Libertarianism as an anonymous user stating "Ta bu shi da yu blocked Alfrem 48 h and runs riot in the article. I am not clear by which right."
 * 1) 03:50, 13 July 2005
 * Ambiguates the lead with weasel language. No edit summary.
 * 1) 03:57, 13 July 2005
 * Reverts back to his version.
 * 1) 05:10, 13 July 2005
 * Reverts back to his version.

Evidence presented by Harry491 (Dave)
I've never been in an RFAr, so please forgive any deviation from the norm in my presentation of this information. I've tried to follow the same format as the above users.

Elections template
 * 1) 04:42, July 8, 2005
 * Removes a link to Libertarianism from the list of "modern political ideologies" on Template:Elections.
 * 1) 06:43, July 8, 2005
 * After he is reverted, he changes "modern political ideologies" to "political and non-political ideologies"
 * 1) 17:49, July 8, 2005
 * I suggest to the editors of the template that, given my past experience with Alfrem and libertarianism-related topics, "the best solution is to keep reverting him" until Arbcom takes care of him.
 * 1) July 8, 2005
 * Alfrem reverts
 * 1) 18:06, July 8, 2005
 * I revert, warning him that deleting comments constitutes vandalism
 * 1) 18:10, July 8, 2005
 * Alfrem reverts, quoting "the best solution is to keep reverting him."
 * 1) 18:13, July 8, 2005
 * Alfrem reverts again
 * 1) 02:53, July 9, 2005
 * Alfrem reverts again (4th revert) and is blocked by Ta bu shi da yu for 3RR on another article.

Additionally, Alfrem begins reverting any edit I make to the libertarianism article, whether it supports his position or not:
 * 1) 18:03, July 8, 2005
 * Alfrem reverts my deletion of a redundant template (which was changing rapidly, but looked approximately like this at the time)
 * 1) 18:11, July 8, 2005
 * After I delete it again, explaining that "2 templates is bad, and libertarianism links to politics already," Alfrem reverts, quoting "the best solution is to keep reverting him."
 * 1) 18:15, July 8, 2005
 * I revert, asking "Alfrem, why are you putting a politics template on a page you don't think is political?"
 * 1) 02:59, July 9, 2005
 * Alfrem stops reverting the template, but instead rewrites the lead to say "The libertarian political idea is the rejection of politics. Therefore it is a political philosophy. Libertarianism is favoring personal and economic liberty..." and removed the footnote.

Edit wars on other pages relating to libertarianism
 * 1) 04:04, June 30, 2005
 * Alfrem starts an edit war on Anarcho-capitalism with User:Saswann and User:Rhobite by deleting an important paragraph. In fairness, he has since made a useful contribution to the article.
 * 1) 7:36, June 29, 2005
 * One sample edit from a revert war with Rhobite and Saswann over whether a Geocities reference is worth putting into the aricle on non-aggression principle.

 * -- I am a troll so I must say 'NO! 152.163.100.133 20:50, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

Neutral
 * 1) Neutral. In actually looking through his contributions, Essjay seems like a very enthusiastic person, so I will not oppose his candidacy. But since he is below my personal threshold of nine months of contributions, I cannot give him a support vote at this time either.  Denelson83  19:23, 13 July 2005 (UTC) (Comment from Redwolf24- I just would like to say that how long you've been contributing to Wikipedia shouldn't be a factor, because I could of signed up in 2002 and not done a thing til now, now couldn't I have?)
 * You don't need to make your text small -- you can be as open in your thoughts as you wish. As for why I have this personal policy, there is a comment on my user page that explains why I devised it.  Also, I prefer being consistent.  Denelson83  00:30, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

Comments
 * Kate's tool is broken at the moment, but Redwolf24 counted my edits and informs me they are 2001 as of his nomination. -Essjay
 * Essjay has been a logged-in contributor since February 2005, and a frequent editor since early May. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 15:28, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Kate's Tool is running again! Click here to see the full summary; approximately 1500 edits. Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 19:29, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, it's still broken; 1515 was my total on Sunday afternoon, about 2:00 EDT. (I know because Redwolf24 & I were celebrating his 1000th and my 1500th) I'm at 2146 now. (Check Special:Contributions/Essjay and have it list by 500; you'll get four pages of 500 (2000) plus one page of 100 (2100) plus two pages of twenty (2140) plus one page with six edits (2146) by my count.) -- Essjay ·   Talk 20:38, July 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Oops, sorry! I was wondering why my edit count was at the same number... what's wrong with the tool? Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 22:47, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure; I hunted down an email addy for "Kate" (from the Kate's tool site) and emailed her him earlier in the week, but I haven't heard back. -- Essjay ·  Talk 23:24, July 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Kate is a he, I believe. El_C 11:11, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Oops, I guess I won't be getting his vote then... : - ) -- Essjay ·  Talk 11:28, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

 * Anyways, I think it's running now! (I hope this time I'm correct, he he) See here; approximately 2400 edits. Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 22:55, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Yep, 2387 sounds right to me; Jesus, I put in 400 edits yesterday, perhaps I need to consider a 12 step program! -- Essjay ·  Talk 03:24, July 15, 2005 (UTC)

 * I am not a registered user on Wikipedia; however, I do use the site as a research tool. I am generally shy about contributed to things online, but I really wanted to contribute to this request for adminship.  I have read several of Essjay's article on Catholicism and I am very impressed with how thorough and clear they are.  Many scholars try to be "thick" in their language, but not Dr. Essjay.  As a practicing Catholic, I try to study all that I can on the Church.  Essjay's contributions have been very helpful. Also, I identify well with Essjay, for I too am from the Campbell-Stone tradition (I am a convert!).  I find it interesting to find a fellow CS with a passion for Catholicism.  I just wanted to take this opportunity to tell the Wiki community what I think of the individual.  nd

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:

'''1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)'''

 * I do a fair bit of RC Patrol, particularly in the early morning hours (Eastern US); the rollback and block functions would be especially helpful, as it’s sometimes difficult to find admins at 3:00 AM EDT. Page protection could also be useful, as there have been some recent bouts of vandals targeting specific articles repeatedly (George W. Bush and Dick Cheney come to mind); I believe that if you can stop them from vandalizing for long enough (even if it’s just an hour) they’ll get bored and move on to some other site. I’m not particularly interested in becoming one of the VfD closers, but having the delete power would be good for CSD articles, as I run across a good number of those doing RC patrol. (I mean ones that have already been tagged as speedies, or are obvious vandalism; I wouldn’t speedy an article that wasn’t already tagged or obvious vandalism.)

 * Also, I tend to be around a lot, so I would be easily available to the larger community. (It’s sometimes difficult to find an admin who is around when you are.)

2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?

 * Most of my edits have been to theology related articles; I am a theology scholar after all. I’ve added a good bit of material to articles, particularly material related to Roman Catholicism. The only two articles I’ve created from scratch are Cathedral of the Assumption (Louisville) of which I’m rather proud, and Archdiocese of Louisville.

 * For the most part, I prefer to do peer review and/or add RC sections to existing articles. I’ve de-stubbed a few, expanded a lot, and created a pair; I feel well rounded. A list of my significant contributions is here. Also, I use the preview function extensively and I maintain several sandboxes where I prepare large edits; my article space edits are deflated (and my userspace edits are inflated) dramatically by this practice. I would estimate that if I didn't do revisions in my sandboxes or use the preview button, I'd have somewhere over 750 articlespace edits.

'''3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?'''

 * I’ve never been in a revert war, although I’ve been accused of it once (I thought I was reverting vandalism; darn those tricky vandals!) That particular situation upset me quite a bit, as I’d never been accused of any such thing in over 1300 edits. I’ve challenged a few anons to cite their sources, and I’m more than happy to provide mine. When I’ve been wrong, I’ve said so. I have a pretty tough skin when it comes to vandals and hostile editors; what upsets me is when an established user is uncivil or downright mean. I think that sometimes the long-established editors forget that there are newbies underfoot. My personal mantra is Don’t bite newbies, ever! and I am very protective when it comes to new editors.

 * I love being at Wikipedia; I’d like to be of more use to the community. I would never use admin powers in any situation where I wasn’t sure of what I was doing. I’m continually learning about the site, and I look forward to doing more in the future.
