A, do you suppose there's anything to that claim that Luv 1960 is used to define correlated color temp? Here is a source that says it's 1976 L'u'v'. You got anything better?

Thanks for being a good and cooperative editor, even if we do have a few little fights. Dicklyon (talk) 07:14, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Thank you, too. The articles are rapidly improving. I added a reference to the article. If you doubt its veracity, you can find the same thing in Schanda's Understanding the CIE System, pg. 67 which contains this quotation from the CIE definition (pg.67):

The correlated color temperature is the temperature of a Planckian radiator having the chromaticity nearest the chromaticity associated with the given spectral distribution on a diagram where the (CIE 1931 standard observer based) u’, 2/3v’ coordinates of the Planckian locus and the test stimulus are depicted.

Now if you look at the definition of the CIE 1960 color space, you'll see that u' = u and 2v' = 3v, so they are effectively referring to Yuv (not to be confused with the video YUV!). So really, there is not that much difference between the chromaticities of Luv and L*u'v'. Both sources are correct, in a sense, but it is more accurate to refer to Luv (CIE UCS, 1960) because it came first (CIELUV is from 1976).--Adoniscik (talk) 07:32, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Thanks, that sounds pretty believable. I have refs that say closest in xy space, too, but that's obviously not believable.  I was a bit surprised to find the one that said closest in u'v'; I presume it's just wrong, as opposed to an update. Dicklyon (talk) 07:38, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Radiometry
NB: luminance and illuminance are not radiometric quantities! They are photometric quantities. See Photometry (optics) for an explanation of the difference. --Srleffler (talk) 22:38, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

 * I quoted more or less from the book (which I'm staring at now, pg. 748). Given that I was merely trying to understand the concept myself, you are a physicist, and the book's author isn't, I'll take your word for it.--Adoniscik (talk) 22:43, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I see. These terms get confused a lot and usages differ between fields. It's probable that in photography and/or color science the terms are used the way the author says. The radiometry article at present introduces the terms using the optics definitions. It could be broadened to explain other usages, but that would require someone who knows more about it than I do.--Srleffler (talk) 04:31, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Actually, no, the terms couldn't possibly be used that way in another field, since it wouldn't make even dimensional sense. Two statements in Peres were simply misinterpreted and mangled together into one that made no sense.  The 3rd edition statement is more explicitly clear, and I found that first, so I used it to fix the article.  Then I found the 4th on Amazon.  It says "measurement of light in narrow bands", which makes sense, and implies radiometric measurement.  Then, a bit later, it says "the most common quantities measured are luminance..."; this latter really refers to a calculation more than a measurement.  That is, by measuring radiometric quantities in many bands, the instrument gets the data needed to compute those photometric quantities (by combining the measurements, not on a per-wavelength basis).  Sometimes one has to have a bit of understanding to interpret the sources.  Dicklyon (talk) 05:14, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Thanks for showing me the light :)

Just in case you really want to know the answer is to be found here. They're all abbreviations used in the biographical entries for Fellows of the Royal Society in its Sackler Archive. A previous editor (who i shall not name but you can track down through the diffs if you really want) had copy&pasted these from Karl Pearson's entry into the Wikipedia article for no apparent reason. I deleted the lot in my recent edit. Qwfp (talk) 23:10, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, guv. That article does need some formatting polish, but it's not in my field of interest so I'll leave it to someone else. --Adoniscik (talk) 23:42, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * [[Image:WikiThanks.png|43px|left|WikiThanks]] Thanks for changing your mind and revisting it despite that! I agree it needs in-line citations though they can be difficult to find unless you wrote that bit of text. It is in my field of interest and so I hope to revisit it one day but I'm a bit busy elsewhere just now. Qwfp (talk) 10:55, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) It does not refer to Encyclopedia ISBN 0028656938, but to an "Encyclopedia of Russian History, by the Gale Group, Inc." whoever it is.
 * 2) Wikipedia is not a repository of links to whatever is here on web. Wikipedia needs article text (referenced from valid sources), not just links to the whole wide world.
 * 3) All the more why would wikipedia promote a business which makes money on delivering information which it did not create. You have to provide direct links to the sources.

Thanks for your fixes on Omar Khadr, much appreciated. (70 centimetres? did I really type that...lol). If you've got a chance, I'd appreciate if you'd pop around to the talk page of the article where there are some ongoing disputes about what is/isn't appropriate to include in the article. Cheers, Sherurcij (Speaker for the Dead) 17:32, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Heh, I have a very obsessive personality - something can capture my interest for months and it'll be pretty much all I work on. Transcribing his letters to his parents, getting permission from the family to license photos of him, even phoning US Naval officers to clarify details that weren't clear in press releases - to quote, "It's not stalking, it's journalism!". I actually asked about the framed reference list on the IRC channel, because I couldn't find it on any other "large articles" (George W. Bush for example) where I assumed they'd use it. For now, I'll keep my fingers crossed that nobody complains, and if they do I'll just pull out an old "If we limited our actions so as not to outpace technology, we would only stunt our development. We must move beyond the limits of technology, forcing technology to catch up to us" speech. ;) Sherurcij (Speaker for the Dead) 19:31, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Not a problem, I measured my wish to see it featured on the front page with my wish for it to contain all information, and decided the latter was more important - so chose not to cut out large sections and remove detail from it - I must admit it's my most-worked-on article on WP in years of editing :) Sherurcij (Speaker for the Dead) 02:54, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Why not go all the way to 0 mireds, and go left-to-right? Dicklyon (talk) 21:20, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Are those “further reading” books and all those external links actually not useful/relevant? I think it’s okay to have links to simpler high-level explanations, but I haven’t really looked at all of these links specifically. I just don’t think they should be removed without being checked out. I trust you if you say they really don’t add anything.

Ideally, the article would have some section with the most important papers, or the best overviews of the topic, separate from the footnotes, so that readers who want a deeper explanation than the Wikipedia article gives, can know where to look, without looking through the whole list of footnotes. Maybe the current books in the “further reading” section aren’t really appropriate for that purpose. If that is the case, they should be replaced with something else, I think. —jacobolus (t) 04:26, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Philip Jones Griffiths
You seem to have a deep interest in PJG - I can't help being curious why? (I met him once or twice in Bangkok and Phnom Penh, he was a charming man, and very kind.

Your edits to Kruithof curve
Hi, this is a friendly note to thank you for your edits to Kruithof curve and to suggest it would be helpful to other editors if you could try to use edit summaries for all edits. Also, I'd like to ask why did you remove all mention of the Purkinje effect, leaving only a link to the article in a See also section? - Neparis (talk) 01:23, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

 * The paragraph had not been backed with a reference since last July, so I axed it. The Purkinje article already explains what it is, and has a similar 'see also' link back to this one. --Adoniscik(t, c) 01:30, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Ok. Perhaps you could use an edit summary like "rm text unsourced since July 2007", so other editors can understand your reason at a glance? I have a citation for the paragraph, which is notable and relevant enough to include directly in the Kruithof curve article. You're probably already aware of WP:MOS: See also links are to be avoided as much as possible, and should be moved into the text itself. - Neparis (talk) 16:57, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Sorry for the inconvenience. I have a rule of thumb not to spend more time writing summaries than I do editing, so I reserve them for major edits. I also militantly delete redundant See Also links, as you will see from my edit history. Thanks for co-operating! --Adoniscik(t, c) 16:59, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

What's going on in your head?
A, you've obviously got a lot of knowledge and sources, but I'm also often surprised by some of your off-the-wall suggestions and edits, like your latest merge proposal. If I knew more about you, I might have a better way to think about these things. So where are you coming from? What's your background? etc.; if you don't mind, I'd like to know. Dicklyon (talk) 17:57, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Post-graduate education in telecom, but drifted into film and photography (hence the interest in color science). The responsivity article already covers "sensitivity". Compare with spectral radiance and radiance, etc. --Adoniscik(t, c) 18:07, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I realize the spectral sensitivity article is new and flaky, but I've long felt a need for such a thing; I don't think the responsivity fulfills it, since that's basically an output-orient concept that includes the system gain, whereas the spectral sensitivity is usually more normalized, or with unknown gain, or a quantum efficiency; in a system such as a cone cell, where the response is very nonlinear, but the spectral sensitivity is perfectly linear, you really need to separate these concepts.  I think I goofed in using the term "responsivity" with respect to the cone cell plots a while back, since the curves are really about sensitivity, or how the first reaction of the opsins to light works, and not much to do with the response of the rest of the cell. Dicklyon (talk) 18:14, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

 * The thing is, "spectral sensitivity" does not apply just to biology, does it? Once you've generalized it, how different is the article going to look from responsivity? Or do you propose to use one for biology, and the other for machines? --Adoniscik(t, c) 18:19, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

 * No, it applies to film, sensors, all kinds of things. The generalization needs to not mix up linear combination of energy at different wavelengths with nonlinear response, as pointed out in Chesneys' Radiographic Imaging. Dicklyon (talk) 19:06, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Fethullah Gülen
Hi, I agree with your take on the lede in Fethullah Gülen. I tried to shorten and neutralise the current one; trying to respect as much of the ideas put forward as possible (to prevent edit wars etc.). I am interested in your view on my effort. Cheers. Arnoutf (talk) 17:42, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * It's an improvement, of course, but I fear that this article needs constant supervision if it is not to degrade to its former state. I tweaked your edit. --Adoniscik(t, c) 17:50, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem about the tweak, some more copy-edit is probably needed too. And yes I think this article will need constant supervision as some strong supporters who cannot take distance from thier POV seem to be the main editors. Arnoutf (talk) 17:53, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Re: Mediation Cabal/Cases/2008-07-16 Eastern Mediterranean University
Dear Adoniscik,

I think that I might have misunderstood the mediation process on this page, as it does not seem to go anywhere. In response to your post, I have mentioned again the verifiable sources that I have (aside for the Chronicle):

-	North Cypriot Newspaper, CyprusTuday, on May 31, 2008 (page 11), -	and [The same] June 21, 2008 (page 3).

But at this point the argument seemed to have been deserted and I didn't hear again from either you or mcyp.

In addition, I am disappointed with mcyp's continuous attempts to make the argument personal, and to initiate irrelevant discussions. I do not think that he realizes fully, that just because he has the best interest of his native university in mind (he presents himself as an ex-student), that all that is written about it must be praise. It must, however, be true, relevant and verifiable, which is everything that I've offered so far.

So what's going on? Is the mediation over? Are you involved in it (in what capacity)? Or should I go elsewhere?

Best wishes

—Preceding unsigned comment added by 2knowledgeable (talk • contribs) 08:08, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

I am not the mediator, so it has not even begun. I am merely an observer familiar with the university. Unfortunately I do not presently have access to newspapers from Cyprus, and they are not online, so I can not verify the references. I will take your word for it, but I advise you to use a full reference, including the name of the article and the name of the journalist behind it, in order to make it easier for people to verify the claims.

I think you should go ahead and add the sources. mycp has said he will not further edit the article. If he does, kindly point out that the criterion for inclusion is verifiability, not truth. --Adoniscik(t, c) 14:13, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Kenan Evren
Sorry to shock you on the tense change. Thought is was just a language problem with someone whose original language wasn't English!

Anyway, it sounded like he was still president which (I believe) is a misapprehension.

Also, I have found that a high percentage of problems arise when articles are written in the present tense (in general). Wikpedia best reports the past and often has trouble with that! I try to reword all articles to past tense. I suppose I can find justification for it somewhere since there is a Wikipolicy for and against nearly everything. But in this case, "is" was definitely ambiguous. Sorry to annoy you. Student7 (talk) 21:13, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Operation Gladio
Great job on Gladio! May I just suggest you two things, so that your work doesn't disappear in edit-wars: if use of "ref name=..." is very good to decrease number of notes at the end of page, it might be a good caution to repeat each time the full reference (my experience with that article being that if one delete the first reference, all the other disappear, which makes it difficult to trace them back). The second one is: very good job for having found, again, the Statewatch document! I suspect, however, that Statewatch themselves asked the previous site to remove the copyrighted material. So I don't know if it will not happen again. Just make a personal copy (or a Google cache) for your use, and then, the copyright copy is still accessible, against some pounds of course! Cheers ! Tazmaniacs (talk) 00:30, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Just forgot, adding multiple references to one statement, if you can, is a very good way to protect the article. Surely you understand that initial reaction of most reader is total disbelief (one actually put a "hoax" template on it once!) Tazmaniacs (talk) 00:41, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Thank you; it took me all day! I noticed your good work on related articles today. After all that writing, I peered at the talk page and saw the hoax/Statewatch fuss. I hope the direct citations will help. I'm no expert on Gladio but I'm pretty good at tracking down information.

Eastern Mediterranean University
I am afraid that I can only accept your latest changes to the article, "Eastern Mediterranean University," in part.

First, you are right that the fact that the university does not employ Jewish faculty members was mentioned twice. But for some reason you deleted both instances… I reentered the statement in the beginning of the paragraph and left the second statement deleted. Perhaps this is what you intended to do in the first place.

Second, I changed again "Israeli" to Jewish. The fact is that these faculty members were persecuted because they were Jewish and not because they were Israeli. The second faculty member, teaching at the Architecture faculty suffered anti-Semitic remarks from his Dean, who came up to this faculty member's friends, saying "why do you hang out with this Jew"? What went on in EMU was anti-Semitism. Not that discriminating on other grounds is in any way better. But I rather call things what they are.

Third, I changed "used to be employed" to "were employed," since the expression you use bares the connotation of "no longer employed" which is euphemism for someone being fired. This is not the case here. Both faculty members resigned.

Finally, the documentation of departing faculty was already discussed by mcyp and myself at the mediation for this article. See point number 5 at part 7.3.

Best wishes,

2knowledgeable (talk —Preceding undated comment was added at 07:59, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

I created a new section and removed the unsourced paragraph. Please populate it with information on the faculty's composition in order not to give undue weight to the two measly members who happened to be Jewish. --Adoniscik(t, c) 14:16, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Changed Response
I left your change as is as to not to engage in an edit war. I am not happy about the change, and I resent your reference to the two "measly Jews" but I don't want to fight (however,please don't edit the section further). 2knowledgeable (talk)

Since this user will vandal again, they will be blocked eventually. But why are you in the same boat with this person? Are you, by any chance, also a ? --2knowledgeable (talk) 05:53, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Because your behavior makes me think you are closely involved with the incident. If Guliz manages to stay out of trouble for a while longer, she may provide some invaluable information. --Adoniscik(t, c) 06:03, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

SHE?? You know HER personally? Ooops. I think we are beginning to know a little more about YOU. Now who is in violation…. ? Are you NOT personally involved in this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 2knowledgeable (talk • contribs) 06:38, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Don't be daft. All I had to do was search Google for. --Adoniscik(t, c) 06:43, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

I am not disappointed that you reverted my changes (although it was your own statement that Gulizcik will produce "invaluable" materials that encouraged me). I was disappointed that you did not revert the user's changes when Gulizcik simply deleted the section, as well as the user's language ("bullshit") and recent views about "the Jews." There is a great deal of hypocrisy here, as well as in your attempt to explore my identity, whereas the other user is admittedly an involved party with a personal agenda (which, by the way, the user is doing his best to sabotage). I understand that you have your own agenda and views, but I think that some fair play is essential in order to keep the debate civilized. Something to think about?--2knowledgeable (talk) 13:16, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Neither of you have produced any reliable sources. I don't have an agenda other than making sure hearsay does not get into the entry. --Adoniscik(t, c) 13:20, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

This is not true. There has been an agreement about some of the sources. Now that the gulizcik person went on and deleted the entire section you condone her vandalism and pretend that the sources are not valid. It’s a wonderful collaboration between a vandal and Turkish nationalist administrator. Tell me that I am wrong about thisand that you are about to demonstrate some good faith. --2knowledgeable (talk) 13:42, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Take a look... she did it again. --2knowledgeable (talk) 14:12, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Great! You locked the article with the deleted section. Very cunning. Just don't tell me that you do not have an agenda here.

As required, I am informing you that I will take this abuse on your part to arbitration.

--2knowledgeable (talk) 14:51, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

 * You owe me an apology because I didn't lock the article. --Adoniscik(t, c) 14:55, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

 * -) Since an appology is owed I am happy to extend it. But can we revert to the agreed version before we debate? --2knowledgeable (talk) 15:08, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

A Request
Can I ask you very nicely to stop encouraging Gulizcik (talk)? She is not a competent discussant, and she does not even have a hold on "the truth" as she keeps saying. Much of what she says are outright lies, and the rest is drivel. The truth, in this case, is actually with the newspaper (this also happens sometime). I don't even think that it's in the interest of Gulizcik (talk) herself to pursue this. --2knowledgeable (talk) 04:26, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I already did. --Adoniscik(t, c) 04:28, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Taner Akcam
I'm still unhappy with the article from a BLP perspective. If you could prompty withdraw the claims (even temporarily) or improve the sourcing that would be appreciated. Thanks, Andjam (talk) 11:38, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Suleyman Demirel University's logo
Hi, this is the logo of Suleyman Demirel University. Can you upload it to English Wikipedia? Thanks. --Ispartatalk 23:00, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

 * I went a step further and extracted a vector version from their brochure. Please download it immediately in case it gets deleted. If that happens we can try again with a better fair use rationale. Do you know if the school has released the logo into the public domain? That would help a lot if you could get explicit permission for Wikipedia. --Adoniscik(t, c) 23:48, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Use of Navigational templates
The navigational templates links a "series of articles" that are linked to each other by presenting "links". The article in question is not part of links of the template in question. The article also contains two navigational templates which "conceptually" and "physically (in the form of link)" links the article in question to other articles. --MarchSp (talk) 14:14, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi!
Hi there! I think you're wrong, the links in Hovhannes_Katchaznouni article are necesary and it is not mentioned in the Manual_of_Style_(links) that it is not; read the first point here. I reverted that edit so. --77.225.193.35 (talk) 15:59, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

 * That is indeed correct (you should provide links to articles relevant to the context, but you should also not repeat links that are mentioned in the article itself, per WP:SEEALSO. In plain English, the goal is to work into the text all the relevant links. The SA section is mostly for linking to relevant articles that are not mentioned in the text (a common situation if the article is a stub). Also note that the SA section usually comes before the References. --Adoniscik(t, c) 21:49, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Religion section
I have re-edited my version of the section, please add your comments on the Talk Page, whether you are in favor of my revision (hopefully), or the other after reviewing it, Thanks! Mohsin (talk) 18:59, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

 * I don't have much time for this right now. Besides, it looks like there are enough editors working on it. If anyone in the debate is reading this, my input is: we can describe the controversy without taking sides. I think we all agree there is a controversy. The revised version at the bottom of the talk page looked acceptable, judging by a very quick look. --Adoniscik(t, c) 22:03, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Please vote at the Religion (2) section of Talk Page of the article Turkey, viewing Version 1 (my re-edited version for a neutral prospective) and Version 2, and decide which is the preferred version for the Religion section of Turkey at the below of the page, Agree or Disagree for Version 1, Thank you!!! Mohsin (talk) 15:23, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Criticism
Yea that would be fine with me. The concept behind the template is sound, considering some of the unsourced interpretive meanderings I used to come across in literature articles, but it never quite caught on.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Taraf 17TRF01RIST.svg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Taraf 17TRF01RIST.svg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:19, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

November 2008
Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits did not appear to be constructive and has been removed.

We can fix the concerns in the article but you need to specify it first. Do not be vague.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. If you had read the article's talk pages, you would know that almost all sections of the article edited with consensus.

 * Thanks. I already saw your two botched attempts on my user page. p.s. Don't template regular users ;) --Adoniscik(t, c) 04:48, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Adoniscik. Just FYI, an IP is upset about your (wholly proper) reversion of vandalism on Color Temperature. I'm hoping my explanation ends the matter, but I have a nagging sense it won't. —Scheinwerfermann T·C 19:27, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Perihan Magden
What is your idea behind removing my comment on Mrs. Magden's 'not arrest'. This is a verified fact. If you own some other proof, state it. I consider it quite an improper behavior on this environment. I hope you will not continue removing it without any comment. If you insist on this misbehaving I will take the necessary steps. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.105.96.206 (talk) 13:18, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) The article is already corrected.
 * 2) I commented in the edit summary.
 * 3) If you insist on not reading the article I will not bother to respond.

--Adoniscik(t, c) 16:41, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

It is actually YOU who should do a better "reading" of the article. Simply do a search of the keyword "arrest" on the page. You will find out (two subtitles still contain it). Was there an arrest? no! So you better remove them. 144.122.42.221 (talk) 15:03, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

 * I have no vested interest in trying to defame Perihan. If the article is incorrect, please fix it; I'm busy. --Adoniscik(t, c) 18:45, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

What an interesting word that exposes a state of mind: "defame"! So, you mean correcting a "false" statement about an individual's biography is to "defame" her/him. ..That is interesting :)) [BTW: Perihan is an old and beloved friend of mine!, the last thing in my mind iwould be to "defame" her] 144.122.42.221 (talk) 13:23, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Yes, making a false statement would be defamation. Reread my sentence. --Adoniscik(t, c) 16:35, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I also responded to this anonymous edit on my talk page. As I stated there, there is a question on whether or not the article's subject was arrested. Since there is a question of this, I'm fine with leaving the language as is. However, this insulting and attacking attitude is not acceptable. All this started because the anonymous editor deleted and changed information without explanation or citation, leading other editors to make a good faith evaluation that this was vandalism. I'm going to warn the anonymous editor not to keep attacking people over this or he/she risks being blocked.--SouthernNights (talk) 00:30, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Reflist
Which number of references MOS considers as "lots"? - Darwinek (talk) 15:52, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Can you give me a link to specific quotation about this? If the MOS is not dealing specifically with the number of references needed for use of reflist, I will consider your edits as stalking and revert them. - Darwinek (talk) 18:07, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

 * The burden of proof is on you. You have not contributed to the article, and I have. --Adoniscik(t, c) 01:07, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Doesn't matter, your behaviour violates WP:OWN. -- Darwinek (talk) 13:05, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Turkish Scienists
why are you deleting the categories and why are you removing category tags from related scientists? don't you consider discussing first? Try to fit in.

--Polysynaptic (talk) 23:52, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

i think you haven't noticed that all Turksh scientists aare in "turkish scientsits" category.

--Polysynaptic (talk) 00:10, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Suspect list
Hi consider this. I tried to test the template and the results are not so bad. However there is a great amount of info that needs to be added to the list.

Standard info on such lists are:
 * Name
 * Birth date
 * Death date (if applicable)
 * Arrest date (event start date)
 * Release date (event end date)
 * Occupation
 * Status (what happened to the person? Is he or she in custody, released, at large etc..)

I need help in gathering that info.

-- Cat chi? 13:28, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Good, but please separate the arrests into their respective "wave"s. Also clean up the stray opening section, which is now semi-redundant. I suggest you remove the Sources column for brevity and simply put the citation immediately after the name. I will not be contributing for a while, but I can offer sporadic guidance. I would appreciate if someone patrolled the Ergenekon- and Susurluk- related articles for vandalism as I will no longer be able to do so. --Adoniscik(t, c) 22:23, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I want to sort them by the date of the individual arrests (once I have the complete list of dates). It is a sorted list so you can sort them in any way you like :). I unfortunately lack a lot of the info on the dates of arrests and releases as well as dates of birth. -- Cat chi? 14:44, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Perhaps a separate column for the wave, then? Also, I think rather more important than the age is the charges on which they were detained. Thanks for maintaining the articles. --Adoniscik(t, c) 14:47, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

HSL and HSV
Hi Adoniscik – I know you’ve been active in color/color-science related articles around here. I wonder if you’d mind looking through HSL and HSV and sharing any impressions/comments/suggestions on its talk page. There was at some point a request for more input put up at the Color WikiProject, but it didn’t really get much attention. Feel free to get involved in the current talk page arguments or not, as you please. Mainly I think the article would just benefit from some more reader feedback about what in it is helpful/unhelpful, clear/confusing, etc. (And I’m sure any comments will still be welcome whenever you get back from your wikibreak – enjoy it!) Cheers, jacobolus (t) 06:29, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Lament of Yemen
When two articles on the very same subject are created the usual practice in WP is to tag one of them for merging. I don't like this approach. I think it's best to call the editors for collaboration.

Corrib gas project

The Corrib gas project (Tionscanamh Ghás Aiceanta na Coiribe) is a developed natural gas deposit located in the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 83 km off the northwest coast of County Mayo, Ireland. The project includes a natural gas pipeline and an onshore gas processing plant, which commenced gas production in 2015. During its development, the project attracted considerable opposition.

The Corrib field is Ireland's only domestic source of natural gas production.

History
The deepwater exploration licence No. 2/93 covering four blocks in the Slyne Trough was granted on 1 January 1993 for a period of 11 years to Enterprise Oil and its partners Saga Petroleum Ireland Limited, Statoil Exploration (Ireland) Limited, and Marathon International Petroleum Hibernia Limited. The licence was issued under the licensing terms for offshore oil and gas exploration and development 1992. The Corrib natural gas field was discovered in 1996. It was the first reported commercial natural gas discovery in Ireland since the Kinsale Head gas field was discovered in 1971. The first appraisal well was drilled in 1997. A number of consents and approvals to develop the Corrib Project were issued in 2001.

In 2002, Enterprise Oil was acquired by Royal Dutch Shell who took over the operatorship of the project. Development of the project began in 2004, but it was delayed in 2005 when locals opposed the project. Shell announced the suspension of the project to facilitate further discussions with opposing parties. For a year, independent safety reviews were conducted to address various safety concerns in relation to the project.

In 1999, Saga Petroleum became a part of a Norsk Hydro and in 2007 a part of Statoil. In July 2009, Vermilion Energy acquired Marathon Oil's stake in the project.

Until 2018, Royal Dutch Shell was the operator of the project with a 45% ownership stake. In 2018, Shell sold its share of the project to the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. As part of the transaction, Vermilion Energy became the project's operator and expanded its ownership share to 20%. In 2021, Vermilion acquired Equinor's 36.5% stake for $434 million (€382 million), becoming the majority owner of the gas field.

Development
Royal Dutch Shell proposed to develop the Corrib field as a sub-sea production facility with onshore processing. The project included development of offshore installations, including the wells and subsea facilities, construction of offshore and onshore pipelines, and construction of onshore processing plant at Bellanaboy.

Gas field
The Corrib gas field is located about 83 km off Erris Head in County Mayo, in an area known as the Slyne Trough in water depths of 355 m. Reserves in the field are believed to be about 1 Tcuft, 70% of the volume of the Kinsale field. The gas originates from a Triassic Sandstone reservoir 3000 m below the seabed. The natural gas in the Corrib Gas Field is a very pure form of gas, consisting of approximately 97% methane and ethane. The Corrib gas does not contain hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide makes up only 0.3% of the total amount of gas. There are five production wells at the Corrib field, drilled by Transocean Sedco 711 semi-submersible drilling rig. Each well has a "christmas tree" structure above it that contains the control and monitoring equipment. This subsea production system was constructed by Vetco, the offshore drilling and production supplier. Flexible individual flowlines will run from each well to a production manifold which will feed the gas into the main pipeline. There is no production platform installed in the field. Production at the gas field is remotely controlled from the Bellanaboy Bridge terminal.

Pipeline
The pipeline from the Corrib field to the landfall at Glengad is approximately 90 km in length. The pipeline has a diameter of 20 in and it operates at pressures of 120 –. Work on the offshore section took place in summer 2009 and involved over 7,000 lengths of pipe being welded together on board the Solitaire pipelaying vessel. The onshore pipeline is 9 km in length and runs from landfall to the processing plant.

Processing plant
Gas is processed at the processing plant inland, near Bellanaboy Bridge. The purpose of the plant is to dry the gas and remove impurities. The plant has a capacity of 10 million standard cubic metres of purified gas per day. Processed gas is fed to the Bord Gáis gas grid. The piping for the onshore processing plant was manufactured by Phoenix Pipes Limited in Slane, County Meath.

Controversy
Some opponents of the scheme cited concerns about the health, safety and environmental impact of the onshore aspects of the project. Others were concerned with alleged irregularities and precedents surrounding the project. Many groups, most notably the Rossport Five and Shell to Sea campaigns, opposed the current plans for the project, which they regarded as dangerous despite assurances from Shell. A contrary position is taken by the group Pro Gas Mayo.

A film about the project, The Pipe, was released on 8 July 2010 at the Galway Film Festival.

Pipeline route
The upstream high pressure gas pipeline connecting the wells to the inland processing site runs through the area of Rossport, close to local residences. A report by Dr. Richard Kupriewicz concluded that "the terrain makes escape routes for the clustered population essentially impossible in the event of a [pipeline] rupture".

Discharges from drying process
Broadhaven Bay is the proposed area to discharge waste from the refining process

Planning problems
Planning permission was initially refused by the board of An Bord Pleanála (the Irish planning authority). Senior planning inspector Kevin Moore's report stated in part: "It is my submission that the proposed development of a large gas processing terminal at this rural, scenic, and unserviced area on a bogland hill some 8 kilometres inland from the Mayo coastland landfall location, with all its site development works difficulties, public safety concerns, adverse visual, ecological, and traffic impacts, and a range of other significant environmental impacts, defies any rational understanding of the term 'sustainability'."

In November 2009, An Bord Pleanála ordered Shell to redesign the pipeline and move its route away from homes saying it posed an "unacceptable risk".

Tax
Claims of a tax yield of some €1.7 billion over the life of the field have been made by the Irish government, based on data about the field's size and 2008 gas prices. Until 2007, the Irish Petroleum Licensing Terms imposed a flat 25% income tax on gas production revenues. In August 2007, the top rate of tax on the most profitable fields was increased to 40%. The new licensing terms called for changes to the tax imposed based upon fields' profit ratios (equal to the rate of profit less 25% divided by the accumulated level of capital investment). Where this ratio is greater than 4.5, an additional 15% tax was imposed, where it is between 3.0 and 4.5 an additional 10% was imposed and where the profit ratio is between 1.5 and 3.0, and additional 5% tax was added. Less profitable fields were not affected.

Employment
The construction of the pipeline and plant was expected by Shell's economic consultants, Goodbody Economic Consultants, to create 800 temporary jobs and boost the local Mayo economy by approximately €181 million. The plant was expected by Shell to employ approximately 55 workers when operational.

Replaceable fair use Image:KMFDM2005.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:KMFDM2005.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria.

KMFDM
Hi, I noticed you had nominated KMFDM for good article. One of the auto-fail criteria for good articles is that they have inadaquate image tagging, and there are a number of fair use images in the article which lack good explanations of why they should be allowed specifically in that article, the logo lacks any explanation at all, and, (as you can see) I have nominated the publicity photo for deletion. On top of the image issues, I doubt that the article is well referenced enough for good article, but the person actually reviewing it will no doubt be a better judge of that than me, and will no doubt have some reccomendations for how to improve the article. Although I personally would say it was not ready, I think it is well on its way. J Milburn 20:45, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

USS Cascade

USS Cascade (AD-16), the only ship of its class, was a destroyer tender in the United States Navy.

Originally designed as a passenger-freighter, the Cascade was launched on 6 June 1942 by Western Pipe and Steel Company in San Francisco, California. The ship was sponsored by Mrs. Charles W. Crosse, wife of Rear Admiral Charles W. Crosse, USN. It was turned over to the Matson Navigation Company of San Francisco, California, for outfitting in October 1942. The Cascade was commissioned on 12 March 1943.

1943–1944
Cascade cleared San Francisco on 12 June 1943 for Pearl Harbor, where she began her war time duty of tending destroyers. As the war moved westward, Cascade followed, bringing her support close to the action areas. From November 1943, she was stationed successively at Kwajalein, Eniwetok, and Ulithi, while the ships she served ranged the Pacific, escorting convoys, screening carrier task forces, supporting invasions, and carrying out many other tasks with typical destroyer versatility. Cascade was the flagship of Service Squadron 4 in 1943.

In June 1945, Cascade sailed to Okinawa, where she endured the suicide raids and typhoon weather. She left Okinawan waters in September to serve in Wakayama, Japan and later at Tokyo, Japan, supporting the occupation until March 1946, when she sailed for the East Coast. Cascade was decommissioned and placed in service in reserve at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on 12 February 1947.

In the autumn of 1943 Admiral Nimitz ordered the creation of two service squadrons. These two squadrons would provide mobile service to the fleet as it moved across the Pacific — with one service as fleet base while the second remained to the rear. As the fleet captured new sites the rear squadron would move to the front and act as fleet base.

Service Squadron 4 was commissioned on 1 November 1943. The squadron was made up of 24 vessels and would be based in Funafuti Atoll. Cascade was the flagship for the squadron. The repair ships USS Phaon (ARB-3) and USS Vestal (AR-4) and 21 other ships comprised the squadron. On 21 November 1943 the Cascade arrived at Funafuti, where she remained until February 1944. During the stay at Funafuti the Cascade serviced numerous fleet vessels — including 10 destroyers and eight destroyer escorts.

The second service squadron titled Service Squadron 10 was commissioned on 15 January 1944 at Pearl Harbor.

After the capture of Kwajalein in February 1944 the Cascade moved from Funafuti to Kwajalein. On 17 March 1944 Squadron 4 was absorbed into Squadron 10.

The Cascade remained at Kwajalein until May 1944 when she moved to Eniwetok.

Ulithi
On 4 October 1944 Service Squadron 10 began leaving Eniwetok for Ulithi. On 8 October 1944 Cascade sailed for Ulithi.

Following operations at Leyte, Task Force 38 arrived at Ulithi on 24 December. Cascade repaired the USS Buchanan (DD-484).

On 4 March 1945 the destroyers USS Ringgold (DD-500) and USS Yarnall (DD-541) collided while conducting night battle drills while en route to Ulithi as part of Task Group 58.1. Ringgold's bow was sheared off to frame 22 and she was extensively damaged to frame 26 port and 38 starboard. Yarnall's bow was bent to the right and upward; her bow broke off and sank during towing. Upon arrival at Ulithi the Ringgold went alongside the Cascade for installation of a temporary bow. In early April the Ringgold departed for Pearl Harbor for permanent repairs.

On 8 March 1944 the Commander Service Squadron 10 created the Mobile Fleet Motion Picture Sub-Exchange No. 1. The Prairie operated the north exchange and the Cascade operated a branch exchange to service ships in the southern anchorage of Ulithi. The program issued 100 35-mm films and 652 16-mm films per day during December 1944.

Court of Inquiry
In December 1944 a court of inquiry was held in the wardroom of the Cascade, at Ulithi, regarding the loss of three ships and over 800 men from the US Third Fleet during a typhoon. The Third Fleet was under the command of William F. (Bull) Halsey, Jr. during the typhoon in mid-December 1944. Admiral Chester A. Nimitz, CINCPAC, was in attendance at the court. Forty-three-year-old Captain Herbert K. Gates, of the Cascade, was the judge advocate for the court. Gates was an expert in mechanical and marine engineering.

Mediterranean, 1951–1974
Recommissioned on 5 April 1951, Cascade was based in Newport, Rhode Island, as tender for the many destroyers home-ported there. From Newport she cruised to the Caribbean and the Mediterranean to support the destroyers deployed there. During this time Cascade served as flagship, and carried the flag of commander, Service Force, 6th Fleet, and the flag of commander, Destroyer Flotilla 6. She also served as flagship for commander, Destroyer Force, Atlantic. She served in this role as flagship and tender up through 1963. From 1970 to 1974, the Cascade was forward deployed to the Mediterranean, homeported in Naples Italy. When was in the port of Naples Cascade was used even like a set for a scene of Italian Movie Polvere di stelle in 1973 with Alberto Sordi, Monica Vitti and John Phillip Law.

Decommissioning and sale
The Cascade was decommissioned on 22 November 1974 and struck from the Naval Register on 23 November 1974. She was subsequently sold for scrap to Luria Brother of Brooklyn, New York, and dismantled at the Gulmar Yard in Brownsville, Texas starting September 1975. The anchor, along with mooring cleats, ended up at the front entrance of Danville High School in Danville, KY. The anchor has become a symbol of stability and security to all Danville Admirals. It keeps school spirit from drifting and stands as a constant reminder of admiral tradition. The anchor has been on loan from the Navy to DHS since it was placed.

Awards
Cascade received one battle star for World War II service.

Kazimierz Skorupka

Kazimierz Józef Skorupka, codename: Dziad (February 18, 1901 in Warsaw – December 24, 1943 in Majdanek) was a Polish Scoutmaster (harcmistrz), Polish Army officer and member of the Polish resistance during the Second World War. He was murdered by the Nazis in a concentration camp.

Biography
Skorupka was born to a modest civil-servant family. After completing primary school, he attended the Chrzanowski Gymnasium, where on 2 July 1914 he joined the secret Tadeusz Reytan Scout Chapter (also known as 2 WDH); soon he went on his first scout camp.

In the summer of 1915, the town of Warsaw was evacuated. Skorupka and his family left to Russia, to the town of Klińce, near Homel. There he joined a Scouting unit secretly organised by Polish evacuees. Between 1916 and 1917, he took part in two Scout camps. In 1918, Kazimierz returned to Poland alone. He then studied at the Konarski Technical School, where he joined 10 WDH and achieved the rank of "Scout" (wywiadowca).

In August 1920, Skorupka was mobilised. In December of that year, he founded the 1st Kamionkowska Scouting Chapter in Grochów, which was joined by a platoon from 32 WDH, under the command of Janek Makowski. On 6 May 1921, the group was assigned the number "22" (which is the traditional number of the first Scouting Chapter in Grochów, founded in 1915 by Stefan Mikołajewski), as well as the patron Wladislaus the Short. Skorupka remained with 22 WDH for the remainder of his life.

In 1938 he was awarded the "Silver Cross of Merit" (Srebrny Krzyż Zasługi), for social work carried out under the Scouts. When the war broke out in 1939, he organised the Scouts from Praga (a quarter of Warsaw) for service on the "Scout War Medical Services" (Pogotowie Wojenne Harcerzy), also directing the "Scout Communication Services" (harcerska służba łączności). For his part in the defence of Warsaw, he was awarded the "Cross of Bravery" (Krzyż Walecznych). From the start of the occupation, Skorupka was the "spiritual leader", so to say, of the "Cospiratory Scouts" (konspiracyjne harcerstwo), the Szare Szeregi (Grey Ranks) from Praga. He proceeded to adopt his prewar nickname – Dziad ("Old man") – as his codename.

Skorupka then became completely absorbed with the resistance work, and he became the communications liaison to the commander of the "Home Army’s" Praga division. His ordinary job as a tram driver helped to cover his organisational work.

When asked by Stanisław "Orsza" Broniewski (successor of Naczelnik Szarych Szeregów) about how many Scouts there were in Praga, Skorupka replied that there were 3,000. When asked on what basis he arrived at that figure, he replied: "All I have to do is whistle and 3,000 boys will assemble themselves on the corner of Targowa and Zamoyskiego St. That is how many were in the Praga Chapter on 1 September 1939, nothing has changed here!". In reality, the actual number was far smaller.

On 17 August 1942, Skorupka was arrested by the Gestapo, having managed to inform those closest to him that the Nazis knew about his conspiratory activities. He nonetheless resisted the Gestapo's interrogation, and did not reveal the names of his co-conspirators. In early 1943, Skorupa was taken to a concentration camp in Majdanek. One of the last traces he left were documents confirming his arrival at the camp – which are currently found in the concentration camp's museum – on a list of prisoners kept by the camp's resistance section. On this list, he is noted under number 273: "Kazimierz Skorupka, born 18 February 1908, son of Adam and Elenor". The second trace of the last days of Kazimierz Skorupka are the testimonies of former prisoners who describe someone whose profile fits that of Skorupka. He was classified as a political prisoner and was often taken for interrogation. He would be taken in the mornings and return in the evenings, having been beaten, his health degrading progressively. One evening, he did not return to the prisoners' barracks.

In August, 1944 Kazimierz Skorupka posthumously received a second "Cross of Bravery" (Krzyż Walecznych), being promoted to "Second Lieutenant".

Predicament escape

A predicament escape is any form of magic trick or escapology stunt in which the performer is trapped in an apparently dangerous situation and is required to escape from it. Classic examples include the Table of Death, Houdini's Chinese Water Torture Cell, Princess Tenko's escape from an exploding boat and the Upside Down Suspended Straitjacket escape, in which a performer is suspended high in the air from a burning rope.

While many such feats are pure and simple escape acts performed for real, the predicament escape is also employed as a set-up or theme for certain illusions. These can end either with the performer emerging from the escape prop or appearing magically at another point in the performance space. Examples include a trick in which Melinda Saxe escaped from a tank filled with snakes during the 1998 television special The World's Most Dangerous Magic and a performance in the sequel show the following year in which the magician Margo was shackled in a coffin filled with rats and escaped to re-appear from behind the audience.

When performed by a female artist, these types of stunts sometimes involve aspects of the damsel in distress archetype, although with the damsel rescuing herself rather than waiting for a hero to come to her aid.

"Escape gone wrong"
One sub-variant, sometimes known as "escape gone wrong" tricks, are presented initially as escape acts but then appear to go wrong, giving the audience the impression the performer must have been killed or badly injured. The artist uses illusion techniques to re-appear unharmed. The Table of Death is sometimes classified in this way. Another example is a stunt performed by Paul Daniels in which he was placed in a crate in the path of a race car, later emerging as the driver of the car after it had smashed through the crate. The Drill of Death illusion can also be presented as an "escape gone wrong".

Another variant on the "escape gone wrong" illusion ends without the performer re-appearing. Such a trick was performed by Paul Daniels on the Halloween edition of his BBC television show in 1987. He was chained up in an iron maiden type device where a set of spikes were set to close on him after a timer ran out. The broadcast showed the spikes closing on him before he had appeared and then the titles rolled. It was only revealed later that he was alright and the intended effect of the trick had been to shock viewers.

Cabinet escape
The cabinet escape is the classic escapology trick, where the magician is trapped in a cabinet and required to escape from it. Often, the magician can be bound in handcuffs, rope and sacks before being placed in the cabinet. A cabinet escape involves the audience seeing the person come out of the cabinet unassisted.

Southern African Catholic Bishops' Conference

The Southern African Catholic Bishops' Conference (SACBC) is an episcopal conference consisting of all the bishops of the Roman Catholic Church in South Africa, Botswana, and Eswatini, and their equivalents under canon law (apostolic vicars, apostolic administrators, etc.). Founded in March 1947, it is a collegial body approved by the Holy See and has as its particular aim:

"to provide the bishops of the territories mentioned above with facilities for consultation and united action in such matters of common interest to the Church as consultation and co-operation with other hierarchies; the fostering of priestly and religious vocations; the doctrinal, apostolic and pastoral formation of the clergy, religious and laity; the promotion of missionary activity, catechetics, liturgy, lay apostolate, ecumenism, development, justice and reconciliation, social welfare, schools, hospitals, the apostolate of the press, radio, television, and other means of social communication; and any other necessary activity."

In recent times, the Conference's application of the revision of the English translation of the Mass liturgy has been criticized as premature.

Organization
The conference is led by a president and two vice presidents, each elected by an absolute majority of the members for three year terms. The members also elect chairmen and vice-chairmen for the departments of the conference. All office holders must be diocesan ordinaries; coadjutor bishops, auxiliary bishops, and bishops emeriti may not be elected. The president, vice presidents, department chairmen, and any Cardinals who do not hold a conference office form an administrative board which coordinates the conference's activities between its plenary sessions.

The Conference mandates a Secretariat to Coordinate Conference activities. The Secretariat is made up of Departments (such as the Justice and Peace department), Offices (such as the AIDS Office) and Associate Bodies (such as the Denis Hurley Peace Institute (DHPI). It has a 51% share in the Catholic weekly newspaper (since 2020 monthly magazine), "The Southern Cross".
