Original research

[edit]

Please don't promote your own original ideas on Wikipedia talk pages, as you did in this edit. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia project, not a vehicle for original research, and talk pages are for working on articles, not a general discussion forum. -- The Anome (talk) 15:00, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reversion of your edits

[edit]

Hi IP. I reverted your recent edits on Units of information because Wikipedia is not a place to add your own imaginations of "potentially possible units". The article lists a number of "unusual" units of information, but only if they have (or are) actually used in some fields according to reliable references. In general, we accept new entries only when reliable references are given as well, but there are a few units left unsourced (and not removed for historical reasons - that is, we haven't found reliable references for them so far, but at least their "invention" can be traced back some 2 or 3 decades in "unreliable" references already.). Please don't readd your inventions again. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 21:33, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Myrio- / myria-

[edit]

You changed section headings in the Orders of magnitude (length) to use the prefixes myrio- and myria- instead of the previous headings that used the correct SI prefixes. Please don't do this -- these prefixes are obsolete and deprecated, as described in the article itself, and using them in articles here in preference to the correct prefixes is idiosyncratic and against Wikipedia's WP:OR policy.

The same goes for your addition of the prefix hecto- to Orders of magnitude (energy). While hecto- is in use in a few special cases such as the hectare, it is not in general use, and in particular not used for units of energy. Again, this is a violation of Wikipedia's policies. Please see WP:NPOV, WP:V and WP:OR for our policies on what can and cannot be added to Wikipedia articles.

Recent edit to Metric prefix

[edit]

Information icon Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Metric prefix, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

Reversion of addition of terms for multiple offsprings

[edit]

Hi IP. Please don't add your terms to articles like Multiple birth ([1]) without providing reliable references (per WP:RS) that they are 1) correct, and 2) actually used in this context. See also the article's talk page. See also: WP:BURDEN. There's no point adding this stuff, if the terms are not in actual use. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, we document stuff as it is, not prescribe a certain terminology as, perhaps, it should or could be used in the future. Thanks. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 23:39, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop

[edit]

Please could you stop and read Wikipedia's core policies before making any more edits regarding uncommon or idiosyncratic names for things, particularly units of measure? You have received multiple messages from other editors, all regarding essentially the same issue, and other editors are repeatedly having to clean up your edits to bring articles back into policy compliance. What you are doing at the moment borders on disruptive editing, and is likely, if continued, to get you blocked from editing. -- The Anome (talk) 10:43, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Length of a top quark

[edit]

Hi, do you have a source for the various subatomic lengths in orders of magnitude (length)? Some of them are a bit surprising. Thanks! Patallurgist (talk) 05:57, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
