Hello Gentgeen, welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for all your contributions! Here are some useful links in case you haven't already found them;

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Angela 22:28, Oct 6, 2003 (UTC)

Hello! I've created Wikipedia:WikiProject years 'in science' (based on the pages you've created) to encourage people to edit the years in science pages and to finalize on the format. Maximus Rex 19:50, 24 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Great job on Pow-wow! --Menchi 10:23, 8 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Thanks.

No problem. You did a great job. Angela 11:04, Nov 8, 2003 (UTC)

Yes, the Pow-wow page looks good, and it looks like the links are straight as well. Good job -- Smerdis of Tlön 17:19, 8 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I caught your post on Angela's talk page. Here is the page where such copyright violations can be listed: Wikipedia:Sites that use Wikipedia for content. Unfortunately there are only very few people that actually go to the trouble of sending the appropriate emails to the copyright violating websites. You'll see that there are dozens such violations that we have found, which is most likely to be just the tip of the iceberg. --snoyes 16:50, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Hi Gentgeen. Thanks for spotting that. And thanks Snoyes for answering for me :) Angela 22:56, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Thanks for your edit on List of BSA rank requirements. I can't believe I missed that - I was writing straight out of my book. -Smack 23:29, 21 Dec 2003 (UTC)

I'm sorry I didn't see the Wikiproject discussion on Years in Science pages. I was removing the CE/BCE because they aren't used anywhere else in Wikipedia, that I know of - certainly not in any of the other "years in XXXX" listings. (e.g., 1st century BC) Should we just have them in this one category? If nothing else, can they be left out as long as the project just involves post-Rennaisance time, which it probably will for quite a while? - DavidWBrooks 15:42, 4 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Would you like to get some discussion going on Wikipedia talk:Wikiproject Games? -Smack 00:49, 7 Jan 2004 (UTC)


--- Hi! Thanks for your note about Golden Gate Park. I answered at my User Talk page so won't clutter yours. Wetman 21:00, 10 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Hi, Gentgeen. I noticed your good material on the Modoc War (which I had never heard about previously) and then noticed your interest in 19th Century California History.. Can I call your attention to History of California? It's quite a mess, filled with inaccuracies. The article needs TLC and I don't have time to do it myself :-( . It may be an ideal place for an clean overview, and links back to detailed articles that you've written. Just a suggestion. -- hike395 06:01, 15 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I might know your friend on GP-B. I think most of us should be working in the Hansen building in Stanford now; It's pretty small as the upstairs doesn't even have a bathroom. Who is the individual ?

As far as the number of people working on the project, I would guess after about 2 months from now it will only be a few dozen (at most). Off the top of my head, I can think of less than a dozen Lockheed people who will be continuing on in the project. -- Chongruk 01:01, 27 April 2004 (PDT)

I know who Ken is, he has the Van Dyke facial hair and is one of the main mechanical guys who was at Vandenburg. He left his console at about 9:20 pm last night to watch the GPB satellite overhead. -- Chongruk 03:45, 30 April 2004 (PDT)

Brilliant prose

Which brilliant prose nominations are you referring to? The only one I see where it applies that my objections have been addressed is Geyser.—Eloquence 00:43, Jan 18, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your work on Wikipedia:Wikipedia maintenance. I was hoping someone was going to add the Featured articles information. It's really helpful. Angela. 17:45, Jan 22, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know about the move. Forgot I had even posted that. Appreciate it. jengod 19:42, Jan 27, 2004 (UTC)

Deleting example recipes

Please stop deleting the example recipes from wikipedia articles. It's good to copy them to Wikibooks but that doesn't also require deleting them from the encyclopedia article. Jamesday 23:59, 29 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Please keep deleting the example recipes from wikipedia articles. It's good to copy them to Wikibooks which requires deleting them from the encyclopedia article because duplication is a bad thing. Not Jamesday 21:26, Jan 30, 2004 (UTC)

You must be feeling brave. That's probably one of the few recipes I wouldn't have objected to staying here, but... we'll see what happens. I expect Stephen and James might have a few objections. Angela. 09:31, Feb 3, 2004 (UTC)

Brilliant pictures

Hi Gentgeen, I didn't really understand your comment on Featured articles about merging the page with Brilliant Pictures. I'm not a regular reader of Featured articles... is there a big backlog at the moment? (I assumed the page was alway that long)  :) fabiform | talk 11:25, 4 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation, I feel like I'm up to speed now.  :) Your objection makes total sense too. Hopefully with the boost in traffic the brilliant pictures section will get a bit bigger (rather than the 7 nominations at present), so it would be best to wait a few weeks for featured articles to get back to its usual size first. Cheers, fabiform | talk 12:37, 4 Feb 2004 (UTC).

Featured article candidates

Hello, Gentgeen. In my "cleanup," I only removed one of the sections (which I felt was redundant), and deleted repeat entries. My efforts are complete, so you can continue with yours. -- Emsworth 17:18, Feb 14, 2004 (UTC)

Featured Article Voting

Yeah - I spotted that just after I posted. In that case my vote didn't matter anyway :) --HappyDog

Thanks for the help with the telescopes template. And regarding being a non-astronomer, most "real" astronomers would never bother working on something like Wikipedia--I'm in the process of becoming "unreal" myself, leaving grad school to become some form of educator--so your input is highly valuable. And all us scientists are notoriously bad at communicating, so who knows what we're doing here! Keep up the good work. --zandperl 21:48, 19 Feb 2004 (UTC)

1755

Hi Gentgeen! Thanks for the improvements on the earthquake. I'm just going to wait until i go home (where i have books on the subject) to make further expanding and re-nominate the article. Cheers, Muriel 11:24, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I understand this. Maybe I should've made it more clear in my postings that only Mav and I are really involved in the stylistic argument over the article. I understand that our disagreement centers on policy processes for the removal of articles. I don't mean to get into a revert war, but I guess that we do disagree over whether or not two policies are entailed and really nothing vis-a-vis the article's contents. I address the policy dispute in the first paragraph of my last posting on the talk page; the rest probably isn't pertinent to your concerns. BTW, I sincerely apologize for getting you caught up in my argument with Mav, which has been recurring for roughly a year and a half over a series of articles. In all honestly, my real concern is that the removal of this particular article will be read as a tacit sign that his stance is correct, which has far more to do with writing history articles than policies for the featured page. 172 12:45, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Whiskey pictures

I saw your post saying you'd requested some picture. Great - I think folks are correct that the article needs some. I have three that I want to add, but that were taken by a friend (who hasn't get answered my "gfdl?" email yet). They are:

  1. a handful of germinated barley in someone's hands
  2. the "brewing" room (I forget what it's called - the giant oak wart barrels filled with nasty barleybeer)
  3. a very nice one of copper stills (I think at Lagavulin)

Once I have permission, I propose to add a vertical bar to the article's RHS, and add these (and hopefully some more) in production-chronological order. I don't have decent photos of the distillery as a whole (well, I do, but they have recognisable people in them, including myself), malting, milling, bonded barrels, or a final product shot. If you've got, or can find, some of those then I think that would make for an excellent illustration of the "story of production". -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 17:31, 28 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Ah, permission received. I updated the article accordingly. Please feel free to edit as needed. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 22:02, 28 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Charles C. Boyer in years in science

Well, you are sort of the keeper of the "year in science" pages. But I would have thought that much of the point of such pages would be to provide a list of notable events to help orient the reader to the happenings of the time. True, Boyer himself is encyclopedic, by virtue of having written some widely-used texts; and we (rightfully) have an article on his achievements. But is his birthdate encyclopedic enough to mention in a chronology of science? Would you want to include birthdates of every minor textbook author in this way? Would the article then be better?

Best regards, UninvitedCompany

You didn't even get his name right. --Daniel C. Boyer 20:06, 17 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Chicken Madras

Hi Gentgeen, the consensus was to delete from en namespace and move to Cookbook. It's in cookbook. Any problem with my deleting the en version now? -- Cecropia 02:48, 25 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Sysop

It's nice to be back on your talk page six months after I welcomed you to tell you that you are now an administrator. Congratulations! You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. Good luck. Angela. 23:39, Apr 25, 2004 (UTC)

Congratulations, Gentgeen!! Cribcage 06:55, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Thanks everybody. I had no idea there was so much reading to do when one bacame a sysop. Gentgeen

Can I ask why you reverted the changes? They did significantly expand the article. I've been following this anon, and while his writing needs polishing, that's no reason to reject it wholesale. Is it factually inaccurate? Yours, Meelar 00:32, 1 May 2004 (UTC)Reply

Latest comment: 21 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hey, Gentgeen! Putting a did-you-know tidbit about B.C. Highway 2 on the main page was just an awesome way of marking the completion of the 'B.C. provincial highways' series of articles. I managed to pull off writing all of those articles single-handedly, and that feat still amazes me right now, so that did-you-know line was very much appreciated. Thanks a bunch!!! ^_^ Denelson83 07:00, 27 May 2004 (UTC)Reply

How to add subcategories

How to Add Computational Chemistry to Category:Chemistry as a Subcategories

I wanna to do this, but i can't do it LiDaobing 08:35, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)

At User talk:80.131.87.92 you wrote "Any further posting of copyright infringements is grounds for banning editing from this IP address" after there had been two articles created by that IP, both apparently self-promotional. Please identify the part of the Wikipedia:Banning policy or Wikipedia:Blocking policy which you believe permits banning or blocking on the basis of just three (the existing two plus a new one) suspected copyright infringements. More generally, please remember that threatening people is generally not a good first move when explaining policy. Much better to tell them the policy first, then only consider doing more if they continue once they know what we're after. Jamesday 20:02, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Sysops may also permanently block user accounts that do essentially nothing but vandalism. This user's only contributions at that time were to add copyright violations to the 'pedia, which I consider to be vandalism. This was discussed on #wikipedia before I made the warning, and again after, and none of the other sysops at the time saw anything wrong with the warning. Gentgeen 03:31, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Possibly posting copyright infringements does not appear at vandalism and I doubt that a "spree" of vandalism would include just three articles. Jamesday 19:47, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I don't see what the problem is. The user hasn't been back after the last copyright violation post, which was before I left the warning. If someone has made both legit and non legit edits, then they should be treated as simply in need of coaching, but a user who has done nothing but violate international law, not to mention our policies, should not be treated with kid gloves. Gentgeen 04:00, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Arena football

How the hell is Arena football international news? It's a minor american league. EURO 2004 is vastly more significant internationally, millions of people watch the tournament.

Millions of people watched the Arena Bowl live on NBC. When there is a Euro chamion, then list it. Gentgeen 00:26, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Porphyrins

Hi Gentgeen, I need a chemist's opinion on this. Porphyrin has been categorised as an aromatic hydrocarbon. It is, as you will know, a tetrapyrrole and does not contain aromatic structures at all! Would you be able to suggest a better category? I'm thinking of making some subacticles on the enzymes and compounds of the heme synthesis pathway, and was wondering how to classify all these things. For the enzymes I'll use the EC number. JFW | T@lk 09:56, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Given that porphyrins are not aromatic, how would you propose it to be classified? I used to love organic chemistry, but I've forgotten too much... JFW | T@lk 11:45, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)

San Jose

Nice photos of San Jose. I never have time to get photos of everything that there could be photos of! So I'm glad someone else from the area is photographing. I have another panorama shot of the entire santa clara valley that I haven't uploaded yet because one of the shots is very differently exposed (dang cheap digital camera) and I haven't had the time to try to figure out photoshop enough to try to fix it. Elf | Talk 18:06, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)


Bull Riding

Hi Gentgeen,

I'm about to correct your modification to bull riding. The bull's testicles are not bound. Somewhere that myth got started, but it isn't true. You can confirm it for yourself by watching a bull riding on a hot day... the bull's scrotum hangs down about 10 inches and swings in the breeze while he is bucking.

Most folks that protest rodeo miss the mark. The rough stock events; bull riding, bare back and saddle bronc are the ones least likely to injure the animals. The timed events are the ones that do the damage: Calf roping and steer tripping are the worst.

Regards,

lbmoore

Re: Chemicals category

A category of chemicals, that is the noun which can be made plural rather than the adjective of or having to do with chemistry, is one which contains substances used in or obtained by a chemical process, whereas a category of chemistry is one which encompasses the science of these substances and its application, including such things as the articles on CAS registry number and Crystal. - Centrx 04:12, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Yes, but CAS registry number does not belong in a Chemicals category; it is an identifier with an associated concept. crystal and liquid, for instance, also do not belong in a Chemicals category, for they are properties with associated processes. While an ion is a chemical, the article Ion might belong in the Chemicals category but the article is on much more than simply the chemical, it is an article on ionization and on ioniziation energies, just as crystal is also an article on the process of crystalization. The reason for this is because of encyclopedicness, closely related concepts and items go in the same article; they are related at length and stand on their own, rather than having an unmanageable and unreadable slew of repetitive, separate articles on similar things. For instance, there is no article on superconductor, because there is on one superconductivity which discusses all matters related to that, among which it also goes into the superconducting chemicals.
I see that my movement of some of the categories may have been incorrect, or at least not of sufficient onus that it warranted doing anything about. However, for instance, the category Explosives and the articles colloid, complex (chemistry), mixture, solution, and solvent, do not belong in the category Chemicals. The Explosives category contains numerous articles which are not about the chemical agents, but about for instance, fireworks in general and detonating cords. These do not belong in this category any more than, say, "dinner plate" by virtue of its make of porcelain. A colloid is a form of matter, a property, it is not a chemical. Mixture is in a similar situation. Solvent should be merged with Solution, and the article Solution does not belong in the Chemicals category. - Centrx 04:42, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Category:Locomotives

You seem to be categorising three different things under Category:Locomotives: individual locomotives (e.g. Mallard), locomotive classes (e.g. British Rail Class 53), and locomotive types (e.g. 4-6-2). It seems to me that these should all be categorised separately. —Morven 00:43, Aug 25, 2004 (UTC)

History of California

Hi! Looks like we crossed paths in edits this evening. I wasn't trying to be out of bounds in my year correction, and you are so right in stating the difficulty in getting a suitable ___location for CA state govt. to work in.

Exhibition games vs. friendly matches

The reason I put the separate article there is not because of the difference in British versus American English but because there's a (blurry) difference in the meaning. Exhibition games tend to be devoid of serious competition and preparatory in nature, where friendly matches generally refer to matches that can be competitive, they just don't count for anything. --DMG413 23:38, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

California important cities and towns

Thank you so very much for cleaning up this section! You treated the Antelope Valley with due respect as well - major kudos to a Northlander and Silicon Valleyite that cares about us Southlander inland desert dwellers! (very broad grin) Now I feel more like a Californian on Wikipedia, and less like an out of stater. (You wouldn't believe how many people I meet casually who erroneously think the California portion of the Mojave Desert is part of Arizona or Nevada. . .) And you did this edit without me updating the Antelope Valley article with a total population number (easier said than done). You (evidently) read my article, saw my edit about the two largest cities there, and proceeded to edit correct info about the AV. Bring on the Main Street Electrical Parade for Gentgeen - and make him the Master of Ceremonies! BTW, the San Diego info is looking better, too. --avnative 10:44, Sep 16, 2004 (UTC)

Yeah, it's too military-centric at Template:October 19 selected anniversaries .... Sorry, I'm slow... I'm still on October 13 ..... I'm working on it ..... I should get to the 19th soon ... Your help is appreciated on the item on Battle of Zama. You seem to be familiar with the battle. Could you possibly confirm the date and add it to the article, please ? Without the date mentioned in any of the linked article, I'd have to take the item off the template. Many thanks.

Why will the Special brownies recipe be "deleted in a bit?"

Not a straw man, not a rhetorical question. I'm assuming it's due to the fact that it calls for the use of a controlled substance as an ingredient, and that there's policy to the effect that recipes containing controlled substances are to be deleted. Correct? [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 18:22, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Bagdad 02Apr2003 L7 300px.jpg

Hey, just going through the disambiguating pages. Noticed your image right there. Just wanted to check with you, because I'm faiiirly certain but you never know. This is Baghdad, Iraq we're looking at, correct? Just wanted to make sure because you could be referring to the Bagdads in Arizona, Florida, or the one in Tazmania. If it is the one in Iraq, could you change the file name and link to Baghdad?

Thanks. I fixed the link, then remembered that the 300 px image was just a scaled down version of a larger image, from back when images couldn't be resized, so I speedy deleted as being redundant. Gentgeen 07:29, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hello, thanks for pointing out my error in "cut-and-paste" moving Victoria Falls, I only realized my mistake after I made the changes.

Using the monobook.css

Gentgee,

Thanks for you help on the TOC discussion. I am now trying to get to grips with changing my UI! I have read http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_styles which I think is the right page, but am not 100% sure of what I actually have to do.

It appears that I should create a page called User:Martin TB/monobook.css and then add the information to that page in order to make my UI change. Is that correct? I wanted to ask before I made any changes.

Thanks for your time. Martin TB 22:23, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I took the plunge and leapt right in :) Seems to have worked. Many thanks anyway. Martin TB 22:36, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

You weren't slow at all, I was impatient. I had read the Meta:wiki discussion a couple of times so I had the gist. I thought that I could always redo that page if I made a huge mistake :). Thanks again Martin TB 22:44, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Are you serious, man? You listed the article on cleanup? I've never been so insulted in all the time I've been here. I don't know what your problem is, but I think you should stop this silliness. Everyking 12:23, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I welcome others' input and contributions, but I won't accept significant removal of detail, not unless that detail can be appropriately moved to another article or unless it can be shown that we can say just as much in fewer words. And I won't accept the notion that the article is a "fanpage"—I'm surprised that you would say something so insulting, and I find it utterly incomprehensible because the article reads to me as a fair and neutral piece. It's loaded with negative reviews and criticism. So I think you ought to be very moderate and gradual in whatever you propose, much more civil, and agree to err on the side of inclusion. Everyking 12:53, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Relevance and perspective. I know what that's code for. I wrote the article; nobody's going to take it over and dictate how it will look without giving my opinions foremost consideration. Everyking 03:09, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I also want to say that you have insulted me beyond what I can accept both as a person and a Wikipedia editor, and consequently I won't discuss anything further with you except things strictly related to article content on the proper talk pages. Everyking 03:14, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public ___domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

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

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public ___domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk) 18:26, Dec 8, 2004 (UTC)

Each of them was listed by CheeseDreams. Your comments on whether I should do this would be appreciated. - Ta bu shi da yu 03:42, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Request

Hi, Neutrality and I are engaged in an edit war. He has also contributed to a request for arbitration (and RfC) against me. He has just blocked me.

Please note that the block occurred just after I had discovered a new RfAr against myself, and was starting to provide rebuttals to it.

I consider this an abuse of his adminship.

Could you look into this action, and consider whether un-blocking me is appropriate? CheeseDreams 23:14, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

CheeseDreams was being highly disruptive. See User talk:CheeseDreams#24-hour block and User talk:CheeseDreams#Category:Bible stories (by the way, he and I are in no way engaged in an "edit war," nor have I ever contributed to an arbitration request against him).

Thanks. After being warned repeatedly, he still recreated and repopulated Category:Bible stories. If there were any mitigating circumstances at all (like some sort of edit comment or talk page explanation for why he was recreating the category) I wouldn't have blocked him at all. But after he remade the category for the third time, I just got fed up. [[User:Neutrality|Neutrality/talk]] 07:36, Dec 11, 2004 (UTC)
1. He is in an edit war, see the items in Category Bible Stories
2. See Wikipedia:Requests for comment/CheeseDreams for his being part of the RfAr gang
3. See Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Bible stories where Aranel states it requires 2/3 to delete, requiring her vote, which was NOT given.
4. Mirv did not consider the act violated anything allowed for blocking on the Wikipedia:Blocking policy, and unblocked me.
5. In fact Use of blocks to gain advantage in an article content dispute is specifically prohibited.
6. Neutrality IS in volation of the naming policy, and the Wikipedia:Blocking policy states that a ban on Neutrality IS thus appropriate.

Offensiveness

Could you please take a look at these diffs, [1] [2] [3], particularly the third, and consider whether Lady Tara should be blocked?CheeseDreams 20:48, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Sock puppets

Hi, could you possibly take a look at this and see whether you think these are sock puppets? If so, could you consider banning them for vandalism (and the use of sock puppets), so that, by use of the autoblocking, it becomes possible to work out who they really are?

Blocking 4.37.73.58

Can you please get a block on 4.37.73.58? He's done nothing besides repeat vandalisms of articles. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Contributions&target=4.37.73.58

He is contributing nothing. Perhaps a weeklong or longer ban? His IP does not seem to be dynamic. --G3pro 15:35, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
