Seeking support for proposed Wikiproject Quantum Mechanics

Hi, thanks for all your contributions! I'm reaching out to members of the community who might be interested in a Wikiproject dedicated to QM. The goal is to create articles which can be read and understood by laypersons but that also thoroughly present the technical details of the subject. As it stands now, too many QM articles feature ledes filled with jargon and lack introduction or overview sections.

I hope you'll support the proposal and contribute as a member when the time comes.

Thanks

Informata ob Iniquitatum (talk) 22:09, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi InformationvsInjustice - improving the quantum mechanics related articles is a worthy goal, and getting them pedagogically polished to the point they are understandable by the lay public is no small job. I generally support your effort. You may try posting your proposal to Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Physics, where other editors interested in physics content discuss issues and articles. Good luck. --Mark viking (talk) 22:29, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

@Mark Viking: That's been done. It's also been suggested that we form a task force, instead of a project. Here's the proposal forgot it earlier :-) Informata ob Iniquitatum (talk) 02:50, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Hydrogen-deficient star

Mark viking, how soon do you plan to return to this review soon to fill in the answers that you laid out in your reply to the reviewer's questions? Please respond there. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:03, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

Sorry about not being around. I have gotten busy with real life. I didn't realize going in that DYK was going to be a mini FAC and I just don't have time for that now. Let me withdraw my nomination. --Mark viking (talk) 21:25, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Not a problem, Mark viking. I'm sorry things are so busy now. Can I ask you to briefly post the withdrawal to the nomination template? I could reference this section of your talk page, but it's far better if a nominator posts an explicit withdrawal themselves. Thanks. (If you don't have time, I'll close it at the end of the coming weekend.) BlueMoonset (talk) 14:51, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

WikiProject Wikify: Current Backlog Reduction Plan

Hey, I noticed you marked yourself as a member of WikiProject Wikify and you are currently listed as active. I was wondering if you would be able to assist with our current backlog reduction plan. While traditional drives are more structured month-long sprints by WikiProject Wikify members, there is currently lacking activity within the project and in order to significantly reduce the incredible backlog, members are encouraged to review all articles marked with the Underlinked Template Message - {{underlinked}} - a list of which can be found here - to analyze the worthiness of the template message on the given article. Articles that have nothing to link or are have had wikilinks sufficiently added should have the template removed to clear the backlog and make it easier for editors to find articles in genuine need of wikification. This can be done by any editor; however, all editors should consider joining if they haven't done so already. Thank you!

Invitation to WikiProject Portals

The Portals WikiProject has been rebooted.

You are invited to join, and participate in the effort to revitalize and improve the Portal system and all the portals in it.

There are sections on the WikiProject page dedicated to tasks (including WikiGnome tasks too), and areas on the talk page for discussing the improvement and automation of the various features of portals.

Many complaints have been lodged in the RfC to delete all portals, pointing out their various problems. They say that many portals are not maintained, or have fallen out of date, are useless, etc. Many of the !votes indicate that the editors who posted them simply don't believe in the potential of portals anymore.

It's time to change all that. Let's give them reasons to believe in portals, by revitalizing them.

The best response to a deletion nomination is to fix the page that was nominated. The further underway the effort is to improve portals by the time the RfC has run its course, the more of the reasons against portals will no longer apply. RfCs typically run 30 days. There are 19 days left in this one. Let's see how many portals we can update and improve before the RfC is closed, and beyond.

A healthy WikiProject dedicated to supporting and maintaining portals may be the strongest argument of all not to delete.

We may even surprise ourselves and exceed all expectations. Who knows what we will be able to accomplish in what may become the biggest Wikicollaboration in years.

Let's do this.

See ya at the WikiProject!

Sincerely,    — The Transhumanist   10:22, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

UPDATE! Bay Area WikiSalon moved to June 6!

Please join us in downtown San Francisco!

Our apologies, but we are rescheduling to Wednesday, June 6 at 6:00 p.m. due to a WMF host scheduling conflict.

For further details and to RSVP, please see: Wikipedia:Bay Area WikiSalon, June 2018 (note: we are meeting at the new WMF HQ at 120 Kearny Street!)

See you soon! Niki, Ben, Stephen, and Wayne | (Subscribe/Unsubscribe to this talk page notice here) | MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 03:39, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Thank you very much

The RfC discussion to eliminate portals was closed May 12, with the statement "There exists a strong consensus against deleting or even deprecating portals at this time." This was made possible because you and others came to the rescue. Thank you for speaking up.

By the way, the current issue of the Signpost features an article with interviews about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.

I'd also like to let you know that the Portals WikiProject is working hard to make sure your support of portals was not in vain. Toward that end, we have been working diligently to innovate portals, while building, updating, upgrading, and maintaining them. The project has grown to 80 members so far, and has become a beehive of activity.

Our two main goals at this time are to automate portals (in terms of refreshing, rotating, and selecting content), and to develop a one-page model in order to make obsolete and eliminate most of the 150,000 subpages from the portal namespace by migrating their functions to the portal base pages, using technologies such as selective transclusion. Please feel free to join in on any of the many threads of development at the WikiProject's talk page, or just stop by to see how we are doing. If you have any questions about portals or portal development, that is the best place to ask them.

If you would like to keep abreast of developments on portals, keep in mind that the project's members receive updates on their talk pages. The updates are also posted here, for your convenience.

Again, we can't thank you enough for your support of portals, and we hope to make you proud of your decision. Sincerely,    — The Transhumanist   11:10, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

P.S.: if you reply to this message, please {{ping}} me. Thank you. -TT

A page you started (International VLBI Service for Geodesy and Astrometry) has been reviewed!

Thanks for creating International VLBI Service for Geodesy and Astrometry, Mark viking!

Wikipedia editor Nick Moyes just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

I hope you can appreciate that I've merged all the content you created into the target page, and that keeping content together all on one page makes much more sense. It can always be split off gain if there's sufficient content that warrants it.

To reply, leave a comment on Nick Moyes's talk page.

Screening

Hi Mark, thanks for your response about the screening effect in the Wikiproject physics. I just wanted to ask you if you think I should wp:boldly do the merge? --MaoGo (talk) 11:30, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi MaoGo, with no other comments, I think you should boldly merge. When merge discussions like this happen at the wikiproject and not the article's talk page, it would be useful to put a short note on the talk page linking to the wikiproject discussion, just so page watchers know where this is coming from. Thanks for doing the clean up! --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 19:55, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Neuromorphic engineering and quantum computing

Thanks again for your help with the neuromorphic engineering article. I replied on the talk page to note the addition of the text "hideMarkup" to the article's prose, which should be removed. Also, on the off chance you're interested, I've submitted a separate request at Talk:Timeline of quantum computing to improve the timeline of quantum computing article. Inkian Jason (talk) 14:51, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Trovagene

Updated the copyrighted information on Trovagene so it's unique and still makes sense for the general populace. The tag can be removed at your leisure. Abattoir666 (talk) 23:38, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Thanks. Your edits still look like a too-close paraphrase to me. I will leave the copyright notice in place and let another editor decide whether the tag should be removed. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 02:40, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

PRODs

Thanks for helping on the PRODs. I have noticed a tendency for some anon IPs to PROD without checking much for sources whatsoever ... and I am more inclined to dePROD those. I'm inclined to add the Template:Old prod full to the talk page myself though it is a bit of extra effort and is optional. It may also be worth checking the Merge related templates on WP:MERGETEXT to check you are compliant with that .... I'm not totally expert in that area but I'd suggest you review. It may be useful to have that on the PSGI talk page as PSGI could becomee disambution page at some point. I've now become a little rushed so I haven't checked what I've said here a carefully ... so apologies for mistakes ... wrong info etc. ... thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 10:28, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for your message and for the reminder to use Template:Old prod full. I often forget that template, but it can be useful for other editors. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 11:08, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

Planar transmission line

Planar transmission line has been nominated as a Featured Article. Comments can be left on the nomination page. I am sending this message to everyone involved in previously reviewing the article. For those that are not familiar with the FA process, articles only become featured if multiple editors say they support its promotion, so your participation is important.

Arens square and Alexandroff plank

Hi Mark viking, Greetings to you. Could you look at the 2 new page articles above and let me know if the the topic is notable, the contain is correct (those formula/prove) and is contain claimed is as source provided in the articles. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 06:26, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi CASSIOPEIA--I looked for sources for both of the articles. Counterexamples in Topology is a well-known book in the field and generally serves as a secondary source for such examples. But I had problems finding other secondary sources for these two particular examples. The articles content itself for both articles looks well-written and and AFAICT summarizes what is the book and on topology websites based on the book. I'd recommend contacting the editor to see if other reliable sources are out there or perhaps adding notability templates to the articles. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 11:20, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Mark, thank you for the quick reply. Will check as review as per your comment and see if any other sources the author would provide. Thanks again for your time, collaboration and helping on looking into this. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 11:25, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi CASSIOPEIA, The content looks correct based on the three sources provided. A quick GScholar and GBooks search shows this to be covered in multiple secondary sources, so it seems likely notable. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 09:44, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

Working on Banners with Rater

Hey, I was going through the archives of Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biophysics looking for people to notify about some upcoming (potential) changes, and I saw your username. I checked to see if you are still active and on your user page I saw a bunch of banner stuff to copy. I used to do something very similar but I've started using a userscript called User:Evad37/rater instead. It honestly makes assessing articles much easier. Instead of editing the code directly on the talk page, you can just open Rater and do it much faster. I have used Rater to do several huge backlogs of articles--an 800-something and a 500-something come to mind. Give it a shot! Prometheus720 (talk) 14:54, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay in replying; I was out of Internet contact for a while. Thanks very much for the rater recommendation! It is indeed useful and more efficient. On another subject, I think you all have done a good job with the WP bio merge. It was time to pool project editors across the subdisciplines. Cheers, --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 20:58, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

Oh, thank you very much! We aren't quite done just yet--the parent page is a bit threadbare, we have yet to deal with talk page templates, and we also haven't fixed the WPX member system up yet. We also are probably going to have to roll through subpages and taskforce pages and clean them up a bit. We are also waiting on some other WPX modules to get put together, basically stuff from reports bot and suggest bot. Plus, we probably need to do some other merges as well. WP:Plants comes to mind. Anyway, thanks for the feedback, and have fun with Rater! By the way, I have a (draft) guide to using it at User:Prometheus720/sandbox/Assessing Articles with Rater--A Detailed Guide. You might want to take a look to get a head start! Prometheus720 (talk) 23:05, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

Boundary method

Thanks for finding that reference. I’m looking around and this is showing up in dozens of places. I’ll track down the original. Do you have a special interest in the article? Kd4ttc (talk) 16:38, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

I am happy to help--I have done the same thing, thinking that WP plagiarized a source, when in fact it was the other way around. I have a casual interest in BEM from simulating 2D breaking waves, so I have the page on my watchlist. Good luck in tracking down the source, and if you do find plagiarism in the article, don't hesitate to add back the tag with the source. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 17:44, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
