Nice catch on 10-BaseT - It's been a while since I studied the OSI model, and it's a little fuzzier in my mind now than it was during my exams... ;-) Anyway, welcome to wikipedia - have fun! :) Martin

Thanks. But what's up with the "welcome"? I've been here a year and a half. I guess I shouldn't complain about friendliness in any form :-) Thanks ! --AMillar

Ahh, details :)

Hey Amillar. Welcome to Wikipedia! (no! sorry! just kidding!) How'd you get the picture from 1911 encyclopedia? Do they exist on the web? Arthur 21:16 Mar 18, 2003 (UTC)

Heh! Thanks :-) No, I haven't found them on the web. I own a few beat-up volumes of the EB11 and scanned the aqueduct pictures myself. Black-and-white images are being processed through Distributed Proofreaders right now (and I'm working on that project) but unfortunately the photos are very poor in the scans we are working from. The line-drawn pictures are decent, and hopefully we'll find a way between DP and archive.org to make the entire image set available, but it isn't there yet. --Alan

Hi, thanks for adding dates to the biographical listing pages. I've transferred W3 to your WikiMoney account to encourage you to keep up the good work. Cheers, AxelBoldt 19:36 22 May 2003 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm experimenting with some scripts to snarf the pages and cross-reference with the article page and other listings (list of inventors, list of Mexicans, etc.). We'll see how it comes out :-) Amillar 16:12 25 May 2003 (UTC)

Good work on all those biographical listings! However, are you sure it's a good idea to be creating all these new pages using the subpage naming scheme? We're trying to get rid of subpages :) If you're only experimenting, then nevermind... but perhaps we should work on un-subpaging them before creating new ones. -- Wapcaplet 14:21 6 Jun 2003 (UTC)

This whole "subpage" issue is an interesting one. Since the new Wikipedia software doesn't implement subpages, pages with a slash in the name are just more pages. So by definition, I haven't created any new subpages-- only new pages consistent with an older naming scheme :-) If you'd like to rename them to something without a slash, I'm certainly fine with that and I'll go along with whatever people would rather call them. Until there is a consensus on a new name, I'm just keeping them consistent with each other. -- Amillar 16:15 6 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Aren't they? Subpages have automatically-generated links at the top back to their "parent" article. Wikipedia:Do not use subpages recommends moving them to a better name whenever possible. -- Wapcaplet 21:39 6 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Hmm, Interesting. The page Biographical Listing/BA does not have an automatic link to Biographical Listing. There is a link, but it is in the text body. However, user:Amillar/Contributions does have a link back to User:Amillar. I guess we are both wrong :-) :-) One of the procedure pages says they are implemented for Talk: and User: namespaces. I learn something new every day. In any case, it is time to rename them. -- Amillar 22:04 6 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Dear Amillar: I must apologize for what I did. I did it in thebest interest of Wikipedia. If youre nice, you get apologies from me , and you did because while you commented on the issue in my page you were nice about it and did not offend me with your expression, such as the other person did. I dont want to hear from that other contributor anymore.

Thank you and God bless you.

BTW, thanks for the hard work on adding so many overlooked bios to list of people. I was about to ask on the pump why so many bios were missing from what should be the canonical list, then I saw you were actually doing something about it! Stan 12:02 7 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Thanks. The reason so many were missing is because nobody added them :-) :-) -- Amillar 23:08 7 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Hello Amillar, first good work for list of people. It is a labor-intensive task so it is really great you are spending time. I just want to ask you if you can mark your contributions for list of people as minor since I don't think there would be any controversy about your editing because it seems to me you just break up pages. -- Taku 05:27 12 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Thanks for your feedback. Based on your comment that it seems to you that I'm only breaking up pages, I'm wondering if you have not seen what has been happening with the list of people pages in the last two weeks. I'm not just breaking up pages, or just making minor changes. I've added new list entries, or updated dates or comments on existing entries, for a few thousand people. Feel free to look at my list of contributions. I wouldn't necessarily call it controversial, but there have been a number of things to discuss about it at Talk:list of people (not to mention this very user talk page), so I don't think I should downplay the changes. If I only change one or two things on a page, I usually do mark it as minor. -- Amillar 05:47 12 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Hi Alan, I'm sorry for interfering with your work. I, too, was first under the impression you were doing just a simple page split-up, so I decided to help to make it go faster. I didn't realise you were also adding things; sorry if I caused confusion or inconvenience. -- Timwi 23:01 12 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Please, by all means, do not consider this as "my work" or that you are interfering. This is definitely a collaborative effort!. In particular, I make some mass updates and I don't always catch duplicate names or other mistakes, so I defintely need your and everyone else's proofreading skills. Thanks! -- Amillar 23:23 12 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Please note, at List of people associated with World War II, the George H.W. Bush page (no space between initials) is just a redirect to the George H. W. Bush page (space between initials), so it's really quite useless to use a [[George H.W. Bush|George H. W. Bush]] piped link, since it shows up with the space that way, but links with the redirect. If your intent was for it to display without the space, that would be done as [[George H. W. Bush|George H.W. Bush]] instead, but I don't consider keeping the space out to be a good enough reason to bother with a piped link anyway. -- John Owens 20:51 17 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Thanks for catching that. As I've mentioned in a few places, I'm using some script programming to try to get some consistency between the various list of people pages, including sorting through the numerous variations in people's names. Obviously I got that one wrong. I appreciate the extra eyes in catching these things. Thanks. -- Amillar 02:51 18 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Alan, Thanks again for your work in the biography name lists. As I've added entries, I have had one idea about headings, and thought I'd ask you opinion (because I'm undecided}. The page heading would be clener if we removed the unused links (e.g. there won't be any names in 'Rd'). OTOH, if we remove them all, and then need to add one (suppose that an 'Rc' name shows up), we'd need to go back and add that entry to all the 'R' subpages. Any thoughts? Lou I 19:43 17 Jul 2003 (UTC)

I agree that it looks better. My basic reaction, however, is that I don't want to do the work either now to remove them or later to re-add them :-) Wikipedia being what it is, though, I would encourage you to feel free to clean them up however you think looks best. When I do more page splits, I'll still create them like they are now (all letter combinations), but I won't object to anyone else cleaning them up. <Rant> Actually, I object to the list of people by name pages existing as wiki pages at all. They should be something like Special: pages automatically generated from metadata in people articles.</Rant> But, hey, I also object to war, pollution, and entropy for that matter, and just objecting doesn't fix it. So we can make do with what we have to work with for now. -- Amillar 22:09 18 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Achille Baquet & Acacius of Constantinople

Hi, Alan; thanks for all those entries (before i arrived at WP) on List of people by name. And you know that no good deed goes unpunished:

In [1]] you introduced

*Baquet, Achille, patriarch of Constantinople

Later, someone (i'll figure out who if this doesn't pan out) introduced

*Baquet, Achille, musician

They could both be right, but i suspect there's some kind of garble involved in the first one, which perhaps should simply be discarded.

It might be that Baquet was misfiled, by first name, at the time of the garble creating opportunity for them to interact, and later got moved from the As to the Bs. (I haven't checked List of people by name: Ac, since they probably were built and manipulated before being added to WP.)

(Curiously, but i assume irrelevantly, they got separated by a misplaced heading in [2], which has probably delayed suspicion about this.)

I'd welcome any insight you could offer.
--Jerzy (t) 06:14, 2004 Jun 25 (UTC)

Thanks for catching that. The entry on the "B" page is just plain wrong. The name "Baquet, Achille" should only be associated with the musician and should not point to the patriarch. Please feel free to fix it and anything else you come across. The way it happened is that "Achille" was next to "Acacius" in a list and they got mangled. I was actually using some automated scripting to gather and update the data, and obviously I didn't proofread close enough. I gave up after a while because I decided that manually maintaining it all is silly when the software could do it for us. I'm waiting for the new categorization stuff to settle; when it does then I'm sure the List of People pages will be unnecessary and will go away completely. --Amillar 17:32, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Sleep Apnoea

Hi Alan,

First off, apologies for any breaches of protocol regarding my article on Sleep Apnoea; this was my first (albeit brief!) contribution, and I should have read the guidelines more carefully.

That said, my article on SA was original work (not "a cut-and-paste from a medical text"), lifted directly from my dissertation on the subject, as were the strange pink images. Rather than disregard it completely in favour of the older text, as you did in reverting to a previous article, perhaps you could marry the two into a better article?

I'm looking forward to reading it.

Kind Regards, Gary Bass MD

Thanks for your note. My apologies for making a rash assumption about your work; it is well written and Wikipedia will definitely benefit from it. I'm not going to volunteer to do the integration of the whole thing, but we can structure it so the Wikipedia collaborative effort can work on it. --Amillar 23:58, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

NP. I've made a go at integrating the articles, correcting some minor errors in both, so there is a structure there for future updates from other Wiki encyclopaedists.

Please don't make links so complicated

Latest comment: 17 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

At Greek alphabet, you wrote [[number|numbers]]. I changed it to [[number]]s.

Writing [[hyphen]]ated, [[logic]]al, [[cat]]s, [[evolution]]ary, [[rabbi]]nical, [[Egypt]]ian, [[dogma]]tic, [[apocrypha]]l, [[fur trade]]r, [[antagonist]]ic, [[algebra]]ic, [[legend]]ary etc., makes the whole word, not just the part in the brackets, appear as a clickable link, which links to the article whose title is in the brackets. The more complicated form can be used for things like [[philosophy|philosophies]]. Michael Hardy 23:51, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

I consider that to be highly subjective. I'm having a hard time seeing how [[number|numbers]] is complicated, whereas [[hav]]ing [[squa]]re [[bracket]]s at [[so]]me [[sem]]i-[[rand]]om [[poi]]nt in the [[mid]]dle of a [[wo]]rd is not, but that's just me. The brackets in the word certainly make it harder to search the source for a particular word. And when a slipshod link like "He spoke [[Egypt]]ian fluently" eventually gets properly disambiguated to "He spoke [[Egyptian language|Egyptian]] fluently", then the scheme is out the window anyways. I'm sorry it seems complicated to you. This being Wikipedia, feel free to update them as you like. -Amillar 00:08, 22 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Image:Aqueduct-aqua-claudia.jpg

Latest comment: 16 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

A tag has been placed on Image:Aqueduct-aqua-claudia.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:Aqueduct-aqua-claudia.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Captain panda 03:57, 27 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 04:45, 20 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

The project is being spearheaded by two organizers with roots in the Pacific Northwest. Meetups are being organized in some cities, or you can participate remotely. Wikimedia Commons will also be hosting an LGBT-related photo challenge.

In Portland, there are two ways to contribute. One is a photography campaign called "Pride PDX", for pictures related to LGBT culture and history. The Wiki Loves Pride edit-a-thon will be held on Saturday, June 21 from noon–4pm at Smith Memorial Student Union, Room 236 at Portland State University. Prior Wikipedia editing is not required; assistance will be available the day of the event. Attendees should bring their own laptops and cords.

Feel free to showcase your work here!
