Hey, it's going ok. PhD thesis drifting along (I hear people ''do'' actually finish them, but the empirical data is unconvincing), other stuff going ok. Yes, my PhD rests on fading channels; it's in wireless comms. Fancy knocking that part of the 'pedia into shape? There's a good bedrock to start from, although many articles have been redirected as they were so very short eg [[Rayleigh fading]] and [[Rician fading]] both just point to [[Multipath]]. (Un)fortunately, [[multipath fading]] was a copyvio (it was also pretty poor). Clearly, those three articles need untangling properly. Most of the key terms, though not all, are already bluelinks, even things like [[coherence time]] and [[coherence bandwidth]], but have little of their larger context present. I've actually been making odd edits to them just lately; did you spot one or something? Or perhaps you were enquiring for some other reason entirely... -[[User:Splash|Splash]]<small><sup>[[User talk:Splash|talk]]</sup></small> 03:10, 8 February 2006 (UTC) |

Image overflow and the Commons
Hi, I saw your note on my Talk page and thought I'd ask a procedural question. I'm working on hte Fire engine page, which is a bit picture heavy - on the talk page, someone made the proposal of moving some of the images over to the Commons, and I would like to do this (no one has posted any objectons to doing so) but I'm not really clear on how. My original thought had been to download the images to my computer, then upload them to the commons, but the copyright on the images is unclear, so I don't know how to mark them over there (and without copyright info, I expect that they'll be deleted.) Any thoughts? Thanks --Badger151 09:11, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

US 98 Alternate
[1] shows two routes presently named US 98 Alternate and a few more former routes. Thus there should be a disambiguation if anything. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 03:27, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
- Keep in mind that SPUI was proposing a speedy delete of a redirect page that I created as a placeholder. It was improperly speedied as he did not cite a criterion for speedy deletion for redirect (or anything else for that matter, as I mentioned on the discussion page). According to WP:CSD, the more appropriate process would have been an RfD, in which (had work commitments and the process permitted me) I would have suggested keeping it until SPUI (or anybody else) writes the US 98 Alternate article that he would have deemed appropriate. SPUI found a short cut that should not have been taken. Also, a disambiguation page would mean that someone (SPUI?) would have had to write a second article involving Alternate US 98 (which wouldn't have been a bad idea), but apparently he didn't want to do that, either. Until someone wishes to write that article, I still assert that since the Florida State Road 30 article discusses two noncontiguous stretches of Alternate US 98, a redirect to it would be useful and more desirable than broken red links on other pages/articles.

AfD
Copied from my talk page
No need for the AfD for Bgtoys, INC -- the user has recreated this at least 4 times in the past hour... --HappyCamper 05:14, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
- I didn't realize admins had the right to speedy delete advertising pages. Would you mind at all pointing that part of deletion policy out to me for future reference? Thanks a lot. JHMM13 (T | C)

- Copied from my talk page
- Hmm...interesting question! Now that I go searching through the Wikipedia namespace, I cannot find what I am looking for. It is likely that it is not written explicitly anywhere. There is a little bit of text in Wikipedia:Spam which says that advertisements are considered a form of vanity for which the inclination to delete will be strong, but it suggests that an AfD is more appropriate.
- Since I cannot find what I am looking for, this is the guideline I generally use - since there isn't a clear rule for advertisements, I check to see if it is a cut-and-paste of an external website. About 95% of the time this is the case. If it is, then I speedy it on the basis of a copyrighted text dump - but I also label this as an advertisement in my deletion summary. Some advertisements are boarderline articles and so requires a judgement call - many times, things are not quite as clear cut as other speedies, like pure attack pages. I hope this helps, and if you have more questions, please feel free to come by my talk page! --HappyCamper 05:35, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
- Sounds like a sound policy, but I hope you don't mind I will continue falling back on AfD for advertisements instead of speedies because although something like Bgtoys, INC might have an article that's pure advertisement, it might be a notable company, and creating an AfD for it draws some attention to the problem of fixing it instead of deleting it and waiting and waiting for someone else to come along and do it right after a speedy. I'll talk to you later and I hope I do have the opportunity to ask you more questions in the future! JHMM13 (T | C)

Happy, It completely baffles me that you see that article Unitary Islamic Bosnia is not a speedy delete. To even an uninformed user of wikipedia it is noticable that the article is not an ecyclopedic material but a libel and slander (not even to mention a lie and insulting concoction). It is as stating that earth is flat and 911 never happened. I am not going to attempt to change your opinion but could you at least advise me how did you make your decision.--Dado 06:23, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your comments --Dado 06:50, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
Possible sock-puppet activity and some more POV back and forth. I've tried tidying the article to some degree. I am not enthusiastic about immersing myself in a POV battle, so I was hoping some further neutral 3rd-party involvement could help. Thnx hellenica 15:53, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
I didnt even know you were an admin, I just meant maybe someone who wasnt invested that much could just lend some talk support - seeing as I'm defending an article I didnt even author with whose original content I seriously disagreed! [sigh] I think I shall take your advice and avoid getting burned out over this... plenty of other more worthwhile and controversial articles I could drown in! The article editing hasnt been as crazy as the AfD and Talk page. Why is everyone so angry - "Cant we all just get along!" =P [shrug] I think I'll just go back and play with my Userboxes... Thanks again! hellenica 21:45, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
Happy, how long does the article candidate for deletion stay open for voting and discussion before the decision is reached. I could not find this rule anywhere. Thanks --Dado 06:32, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
Now that the AFD has ended, the mess unfortunately still continues. It seems that now AFD is over, an edit war is likely. I'd prefer not having to get involved in something like that, but I'm not sure of an alternative, seeing as the talk page seems to come to no agreement whatsoever, despite my attempts to reference wikipolicies. I'm just not doing a good job I guess... I dont know at what point an issue like this becomes game for dispute resolution or whatnot, but I dont want to needlessly escalate the situation further. [shrug] Any advice you could offer would be much appreciated. Thanks! hellenica 20:36, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your message ...
... about Thornton's Bookshop, which is completely beside the point:
"Please see the history of Thornton's Bookshop(1). The entire history of an article is normally checked by an administrator before deletion, so in the future if you find an article of yours (2) incorrectly deleted (3), please let me know so I can uncover it for you. (4) See you around! --04:09, 7 January 2006 (UTC)"
(1) Why?
(2) I tried to point out twice that I did not write this article. See Talk:Thornton's Bookshop.
(3) It was never deleted, was it?
(4) Why shouldn't I uncover it myself?
All the best, <KF> 08:38, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
- I don't remember coming across your user name before, but I'm sure I'll notice it from now on! I'm very reluctant these days to check the new articles (although I'd find it enjoyable from time to time) because I meet too many people working against each other. It is the indiscriminate use of all kinds of tags, including "speedy deletion", which I don't like. Anyway, hope you enjoy your work here at Wikipedia. Cheers, <KF> 00:19, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
Hey
Dear Happy camper there are a pair of Vandals i suspect on the Costa Rica Page they keep adding non sense and they keep removing this part of my section saying its "racist" when i have a VERY creditable source and just simply stating the facts.

Do you mean moving the page? Thanks for offering, but I think it should be moved to a new title. (It's the only Xlsc page and the parent Xlsc page is absent.) We could delete the old redirect and the redirect in my userspace once this is done though. {{User:Vacuum/sig}} 01:16, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

A great website
Hi HappyCamper!
I noticed you're pretty active on the Reference Desk. I recently discovered a great website where people will answer your question free! www.allexperts.com They are extremely good, I had two plants I put on the WikiProject:Project of Life and no one could give a postive ID. Within a day - seriously - they had given me a detailed response with correct ID. Incredible, but true, and if wikipedia can go in a kind of partnership, they could get more traffic and therefore be able to keep there service open longer as I assume they use ads (I can't see them in firefox ;-) to get money. Anyway, I thought you might be interested and send some of the harder nuts to crack down to them --Fir0002 23:21, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

- So what does that mean? Yay or nay? I know you do the date headers, just like how I do the archiving...I'm a bit weary of having to do some more extra pages, but I'm still thinking about it. --HappyCamper 01:53, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
- Think about it HC! Think about going into your local library and getting into a line for asking questions. After a while you progress to a fork in the line at which you choose between "reference" questions or "help" questions. Having remembered something about WP:ASK in your distant past, you patiently slog along in the "reference" line until you are asked (at a muli-forked intersection) to decide whether you should be in the humanities, science, math, language or miscellaneous line. Well, after giving that the appropriate amount of brain energy you decided to press forward and choose math because you had a question about pie. At his point you resisted the temptation to just press "zero" for fear of being eternally damned for "choosing before permited". Now you ended up at here the the same rabbit hole! I think we should just start over again over here! ;-) hydnjo talk 00:35, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
- Hey HC, the cryptic stuff above was mostly a result of EUI (to releive my CC symptoms) so feel free to delete it all if you find it annoying. I'm responding here rather than at Wikipedia talk:Reference Desk#categories too broad because my feelings that the categories are just fine may be coming from my personal bias. I've not studied this but it seems that a high percentage of questions fall into the broad "unsigned/homework/frivolous/trolling" category with the question being the person's very first edit. I personally don't think that we need more categories nor do I think that having more categories will help anything very much. Well, perhaps a homework category... err never mind. As a counterproposal, what if the WP:HD were to be merged into a Wikipedia:Question Desk where any questions would be addressed with as many categories therein as we thought appropriate. In other words, why are questions about using WP segregated from all other questions? hydnjo talk 17:02, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Also please note that in your absence I crafted a humorous RD header to illustrate my counterpoint to the prevailing suggestion to fragment (split) the "overly-broad" existing categorization scheme which I placed on the RD talk page. Someone took offense to its being there (on the talk page) and so I removed it at their request. :-( hydnjo talk 18:33, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

He has had the cat up for deletion in which an no majority was reached, theirfor default to no changes. Discussion on the talk pages on the article in question as well as on the Philadelphia, Pennylvania, only goes to show what the general consensus among editors of the articles is to keep at the current format, with only the usere in the minorty position all of the time, and also shows his ingnorance and how he ingnores these other editors. I refuse to commuicate with him any further, or engage in any actions in which he is a party to, for is i wanted to deal with a brick i would talk to my wall.

Evrik and Boothy443
You may be gone already, but somehow we crossed paths when dealing with the same protection request. You protected all three and I blocked the two for 3RR. Obviously both shouldn't stay, since they accomplish the same goal. The reason I chose to block is that this is the exact same edit war that got them both blocked before, and they have shown no willingness to discuss (making protection in order to allow them to discuss meaningless). Partivularly since we are dealing with multiple pages protected here, not just one, the utility of using protection is much reduced. Additionally, edit warring over a category, imo, just isn't that serious for the article as a whole, that it warrants protection. Categories contain no information, and are only navigational aids. As such, I'd like to unprotect the pages, while the two are blocked. What do you think? Dmcdevit·t 06:51, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
- Sheesh, keep on doing things at the same time. :-) I generally find blocks preferable to protection since it targets the offenders, and not simply all editors. Especially when multiple articles are involved. And most people will change their editing style a bit afterwards, whereas protection tends not to effect any change in attitude.

Re:Translation request
I have found myself really busy lately, but I will give you some things I was able to pull off from the website I pointed out:
- When Germany is almost won and nazism has a feeling the defeat and the aim, Hitler, raised in their delirious paranoia, stimulates to their followers with the promise of terrible secret arms that will overturn the balance to their favor. Peenemunde, is the research center and manufacture of diabolic talents, and although the Fuhrer exaggerates its importance, the certain thing is that the weapon looks for there desperately salvadora.La missile technology, under the direction of chemical and physical expertísimos, it puts in execution the terrible V-1, and shortly after the most precise V-2 with which it inflicts incalculable damages to England. Peenemunde, receives a vital interest for the Third Reich, and their necessities have absolute preeminence, because in the results of the investigations that are made there are based everything esperanza.La V-1, and V-2, is pale samples of the deadly arms that will make and to them Hitler alludes to impress their enemies and to instill spirit to his discouraged generales.Y is certain truth in which it says. From kill already time, the great physicists German speculate with the possibility of the nuclear fusion using the liberation of their tremendous energy with aims bélicos.En this feverish climate of creation of new arms definitorias, in Peenemunde is received a memory for the manufacture of a uranium motor, that provokes enormous interest because it can be the yearned for key. He sends Burkhard Heim, a young person of twenty years who counts in his salary with an impressive file, possessor of a mind privileged for the physics. Having hardly fifteen years of age, five years before the manufacture of the pumps that destroy Hiroshima and Nakasaki, he projects a nuclear missile, that in spite of being perfectly attainable, is not considered seriously by German official science. But now the time runs to the time, and Germany desperately needs arms then espectaculares.Nace like certain possibility, the idea to make a pump of great power, that to their side, the existing ones of TNT would be simple firecrackers. But already it is late, the allies, by interval of its intelligence services they have located the industrial center and of investigation of Peenemunde, and carry out on him one of the greatest aerial bombings devastating the zone virtually, where it is practically reduced to ashes the planes presented/displayed by the young person Burkhard Heim. In addition Germany no longer counts on sufficient to be able of recovery like again mounting the industrial center with capacity to make projects of magnitud.El accidente.La inventive of Burkhard Heim is limitless, and this almost adolescent one, that does not want to waste time with official studies (laboriously it has been received from bachelor), develops a line of explosives, and with her it obtains that they transfer to the Office Chemical Investigations of Berlin, where enthusiastically works in his proyectos.El 19 of May of 1944, Berlin, as it comes happening almost all the nights, hundreds of flying fortresses unload their pumps on any thing that still stays in pie. Also, Brukhard Heim, since it always does, one is working in the chemical center, in the explosive of his invention. Patiently and with extreme precautions it mixes the ingredients. They are as soon as grams of each thing, but are so their expansive power that its deflagration could cause more effects than kilos of conventional explosives. Outside the sirens alert on the danger of the attack calling to the antiaircraft refuges. It is already well at night and it has been single in the building, listens to the sirens but it decides to continue minutes more, has a feeling that it is near the profit. That lost time is to him fatal; when it decides to leave the place, it does taking mortar of the dangerous mixture. On the verge of reaching the refuge the explosion of a pump throws it to the ground and with him mortar falls. A most alive light, illuminates everything and its body is left laying, almost broken. But it does not die, after months of operations and treatments, the balance that is of its body is discouraging. Almost blind, deaf, and instead of hands two incredible trunnions inlaid in rest of their antebrazos.Nada of it were reason to restrain their push. An electronic device allows him to hear, and

Thank you for your gracious remark. I'm slowly working my way through the chemistry (physics, mathematics, polymer) articles to bring them up to a professional level, expanding some and creating others, and correcting numerous factual and mathematical errors. I'm also including material seldom available in textbooks, including my own reformulations. I'm astonished that you picked up the article on my own "internal" scratchpad just minutes after I saved a draft. (It is still a work in progress). How did you manage to do that? I've been doing Wikipedia only since September, and still have much to learn. Any comments or corrections would be welcome. David Shear 16:34, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
started a vote
I started a vote at the ref desk that has gotten two supports(one from me) and no opposes so far. Could you please vote at it, cus you've been great with everything RD related so far! Thanks a million, --Urthogie 22:00, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
Archiving science reference desk
No problem helping out with the archiving. I noticed the dowload was getting a little too long. Which precipitated the action on my behalf, purely selfish reasoning in play ;-) David D. (Talk) 06:28, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Message received
Yeah, I opened the channel for you. BTW, I've read your comments at the RD straw poll and I've voted to oppose expansion except for the addition of a Homework Help category (no kidding) where the kids could be honest about it and where we could respond appropriately. Also, this was my funny that was objected to. ;-) hydnjo talk 13:24, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi!
I came across your userpage via Special:Ipblocklist. --TML1988 04:27, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
Thanks
I seen your message on my talk page talking about the CSD I made earlier. You're welcome. That was one of the strangest CSD I've ever did. It ended up including a NLT ban from its editor. --LBMixPro<Speak|on|it!> 06:24, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
PCA
Thanks for that tip! I don't think it is usually used for analyzing genes -- what the authors (primarily is Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza) have done is taken gene frequency maps for 82 genes (across the world) and then come up with a "master map" showing genetic relatedness of all humans. So, from what I gathered, the PCA is just the way that they mashed all that data into one big dataset. --Fastfission 16:03, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
Adminship Nomination
I'm now in a better position to put in the time for responsible adminship then when you first suggested it to me. If the nomination offer is still available, I'm prepared to take it (now you know why I was brooding around your talk.). Superm401 - Talk 00:49, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- A little bit later...HC was going through Superm401's RfA nomination - just to make sure everything was ready to go. Sure enough, HC noticed something and made this edit: [2]. We pick up the story after Superm401's reply below...

Just to keep you in the loop
I know that you're backing off from the RD and all of its recent "improvement" activities but I want to let you know that I invoked your instructive coments here. I hope you don't mind. hydnjo talk 05:51, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Thank you, Happy!
Hi Happy! Your message was so incredibly special to me... thanks so much for your lovely words regarding my grandpa and his words - you are the first person to notice how truly special that very small anecdote is to me. He was grumpy sometimes, but the wisdom he so easily transmited in statements like that one was so simple and overwhelming at the same time. When I was a little girl, I used to tease him and bug him all the time to tell me stories, until he couldn't resist anymore, and he would have me sit by his side and tell me "Now stay quiet and listen, Nei-na Tekwahkarui, and if you speak, no more stories". I don't even know why I'm telling you this, dear Happy, I guess you managed to stir my memories... thank you, you really moved me. Kisses, - Phædriel ♥ tell me - 00:34, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
I was passing by your talk page, and I accidentally dropped this rose... mind if I leave it here, Happy? :) Kisses, - Phædriel ♥ tell me - 02:13, 3 February 2006 (UTC) PS. in fact, I just wanted to thank you again for the beautiful memories. You strike me as a wonderful and kind person. Keep it up! There's no such thing as too much kindness ;)
Hello! If you recall, you were kind enough to referee a dispute on a (now redirected) article called Greek Recon a couple of months ago. An anonymous user was attempting to monopolize the entry, posting people's personal information, harassing editors, etc. I requested mediation via Mediation Cabal last time which documented everything pretty clearly - I'm sure the info is still there in the archives. Now that the article has been merged with Hellenic Polytheism, he has reappeared and has begun to heavily edit the entry anonymously without explaining his edits or using the summary boxes in a very antagonistic fashion. I would really appreciate it if you, as a neutral third party, could help referee again, or at least comment before the situation escalates again. Thanks! Cyberdenizen 08:23, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
- I have filed an RfC on this, as the anonymous editor has resumed with the personal attacks and posting my personal information. - AdelaMae (talk - contribs) 12:42, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

- Ah, yes, I just checked and discovered that those templates are, in fact, new. I thought I'd just missed them before because I was still learning my way around Wikipedia and hadn't discovered warning templates yet. I'll have to go to go thank Jtdirl for getting those started. - AdelaMae (talk - contribs) 05:50, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
- Well, thank you, then! Where's discussion on this happening? I didn't see anything on Wikipedia talk:Harassment. - AdelaMae (talk - contribs) 06:38, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

No problem. I think all of that group of articles with copyvio tags are now fixed. Now just a hundred or so left to copyedit! Kcordina 14:27, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
Merci Beaucoup
Thanks for helping me with my first article.... :) Anonymous anonymous 17:36, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
A little note
I was hip deep in editing Apollo moon landing hoax accusations, didn't see you had protected it, and made at least one edit after you had protected. I think that edit has been undone now. I'm sorry for my mistake. Tom Harrison Talk 21:57, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
- Hey, no worries :-) I'm sorry for jumping in unannounced too - I probably would have overlooked the page protection if the situation was reversed. I should have been more proactive in letting you know what I was doing! --HappyCamper 02:05, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
Fading
Hey, it's going ok. PhD thesis drifting along (I hear people do actually finish them, but the empirical data is unconvincing), other stuff going ok. Yes, my PhD rests on fading channels; it's in wireless comms. Fancy knocking that part of the 'pedia into shape? There's a good bedrock to start from, although many articles have been redirected as they were so very short eg Rayleigh fading and Rician fading both just point to Multipath. (Un)fortunately, multipath fading was a copyvio (it was also pretty poor). Clearly, those three articles need untangling properly. Most of the key terms, though not all, are already bluelinks, even things like coherence time and coherence bandwidth, but have little of their larger context present. I've actually been making odd edits to them just lately; did you spot one or something? Or perhaps you were enquiring for some other reason entirely... -Splashtalk 03:10, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
