That's an alternate (not even secondary) meaning, based on an alternate spelling of "gripping". The ''primary'' meaning of "griping" is "complaining", which makes no sense in the context of that film review; indeed, I thought it was ''your'' typo (and I was about to correct it!) until I checked the source and saw that it was the reviewer's.

And even if the reviewer ''did'' deliberately and intentionally spell it that way, it's still nonstandard enough that a "sic" is helpful. [[User:DragonflySixtyseven|DS]] ([[User talk:DragonflySixtyseven|talk]]) 23:57, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

In my humble opinion, I think it is a really bad idea to copy the same paragraph and paste it ''at the top'' of several different articles. You're not only making the top unnecessarily long by adding an information that doesn't have a high importance, but also you're making people who read many different articles read the same thing in many places, which is kind of annoying. I suggest you revert a few of your edits or put the paragraph in a more appropriate section. Also, it'd be better if you could change the wording so it won't be repetitive '''[[User:Tetra quark|Tetra quark]] ([[User talk:Tetra quark|talk]])''' 14:14, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Further to this, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Oxfam&diff=643206393&oldid=639944472 you just added] a paragraph about a day-old press release to the lead section of the Oxfam article. As the editor above said last week, lead sections aren't news feeds. They're "an introduction to the article and a summary of its most important aspects", per [[MOS:LEAD]]: new content should generally be added to the article body, and additionally summarised in the lead section only if it's a significant aspect of the subject. --[[User:McGeddon|McGeddon]] ([[User talk:McGeddon|talk]]) 14:38, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

== [[Universe]] lede ==
Dear Drbogdan, would you consider commenting on/contributing to the lead of [[Universe]]? I've tried to spin up a first paragraph: 

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Universe&oldid=643055753

but this seems to not sit well with another contributing editor. Basically, I'd like to see some inclusiveness of issues in the lead, including, yes, issues actually addressed in the body of the article (but not a cherry-picking of sentences from the body), as well as open up some other dimensions of this ultimately inclusive word. So, instead of a sharp focus on astronomy, possibly including such topics as life and philosophical issues (I hesitated with religion). Anyway, having a few more voices sometimes helps.

== Thanks! re: [[User:Drbogdan#My awesome stats|Wikipedia Stats]] ==
Hi Dr. B.  I just wanted to let you know that I have appropriated and reused some of the wikicode from your user page for mine.  The code on the stats of Wikipedia and its growth in the human corpus of knowledge does, I think, need to be celebrated more widely.  Thanks for your work in assembling all this!

If you have a moment, I'd like to hear your thinking on (and translation of) of ''"Nos Auxilium Facere Penitus Non Nutrientibus."''  I appreciated the quotation from the Wales interview, but my Latin is extremely elementary.  Cheers.  And keep up the good work.

== [[Introduction to evolution]] ==
Hey!
Give my changes a try. This is a good-faith edit. I did improve only structure and readability. You can see it through I did very light edits to content, nothing serious, rather due to understanding and grasping the contents by going through one topic at a time from top to bottom with repeats to better learn the stuff. This is an intro, right? Header is now better in concordance with main body. I differentiated between theory of evolution and proof of evolution in experiment (sligthly). Now, how to exactly propose structure changes in WP:BRD way? copy my article version to talk page? entirely? If unsure, please do not engae in a revert-war (possibly due to urges to protect a spec. version of article/or format). BTW this article had issues with accuracy. You may also decide to help me get )part) of my good changes through. Please see through my version it is really good.

::But don't free market policies have a play in this improvement? Free markets that allow companies to bring energy, machinery, food, medication, vaccines, employment, etc. to communities? Slovenia has a higher life expectancy, but their [[List of countries by GNI (nominal, Atlas method) per capita|GNI per capita]] and [[Median_household_income|median household income]] is half that of the US.

Hey Doc, you've been changing See Also sections to use 20em variable width columns. *Please* stop doing this...20em is extremely narrow. I don't know what resolution you're using, but on my screen that causes *five* columns. When needed, just use a flat two-column solution in the future.

:::I wouldn't say that pure two column is now preferred, but the individual articles and their layout circumstances need to be taken into account. My honest preference is to never use columns for citations, but that's simply not the modern Wikipedia. I now accept that columns are a thing, but they need to be implemented logically. An article with only five citations simply doesn't need columns, there's no logical sense in that; whereas an article with three dozen citations can use the 30em variable column solution quite well. In my opinion, that "other editor" who suggested the 20em columns simply was not considering appearances on a wide variety of platforms. At the same time, if a See Also section has so many entries that more than two columns are needed to keep it short, it should be severely trimmed as you're probably getting too unfocused. I honestly see no reason for more than half a dozen entries in a See Also section, except in extremely limited circumstances. <small>(sorry for the rambling, I'm a little feverish right now.)</small> <span style="white-space:nowrap; text-shadow:gray 5px 3px 1px;">— [[User:Huntster|Huntster]] <small>([[User talk:Huntster|t]] [[Special:Emailuser/Huntster|@]] [[Special:Contributions/Huntster|c]])</small></span> 03:40, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

::Good job! [[User:Viriditas|Viriditas]] ([[User talk:Viriditas|talk]]) 23:04, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

BTW, I think my structure misses the point of how the pieces are supposed to fit together.  Each group has a question to solve which in turn provides answers that fit into a larger question about exoplanets.  I want to structure the research so that this becomes obvious to the reader.  I wonder if the original NASA press release did this. [[User:Viriditas|Viriditas]] ([[User talk:Viriditas|talk]]) 23:11, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
:Thanks for your great edits.  I could really use your help expanding the research section.  I'm not sure what kind of layout to use.  Ideally, I would like to section it by specific, "unanswered questions" that each team is attempting to address.  At first, I thought the best way to do this would be section it off by discipline, but I can see now that this completely missed the point.  I bet there's a roadmap and list of milestones each team is addressing, but unless I have access to it, I will have to reverse engineer it from the sources at our disposal.  I would like to structure the research section based on this roadmap.  The reason I think this is ideal is because it has the added benefit of longevity.  Each research project will therefore "fit" along a path based on milestones, and each entry can remain indefinitely (although I expect pruning).  By documenting the history of research in this way, we can provide a truly unique resource for future readers. Do you see what I'm getting at? If you've ever seen the NASA roadmaps they've used in the past, then you probably get what I'm talking about. [[User:Viriditas|Viriditas]] ([[User talk:Viriditas|talk]]) 02:39, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
::OK, I think I found a general exoplanet roadmap on the NASA website from July 2014.  I doubt that the research priorities have changed since then, and if I'm not mistaken, the NExSS research proposals were already in place at that time anyway, so this information should be relevant.  It will take me a day or so to figure out if this will work or help, but if it does, we will have the best structure for the article.

::::::I want to also followup on the exoplanet roadmap.  NExSS is part of a long-term effort (according to the NASA astrophysics roadmap) to take a 1) statistical census of exoplanets (Kepler has done this to some extent but I think the point is to focus on Earth-size exoplanets as the observational capabilities improve, see 3); 2) characterize and study exoplanet atmospheres; and 3) measure the frequency of potentially habitable exoplanets (which involves the search for habitable environments, the detection of biosignature gases, and finally obtaining the first resolved images of Earth-like planets and the development of maps and spectra).  Unfortunately, because the potential of the greatest scientific discovery in human history is barely funded by the global community, this process could take up to three decades.  As I said to you previously, we were talking about this almost 25 years ago when the first exoplanet was discovered in 1992 (although I distinctly remember talk of one even earlier in the late 1980s, but it may have been theoretical).  During that time, the world has wasted billions of dollars fighting wars when the same military contractors could have used similar technology to develop the launch vehicles and telescopes needed to solve this question once and for all. The squandering of time and money over such meaningless squabbles shows that the world has a lot of growing up to do.

::::::::As I've maintained for many decades now, I still think it can be a win-win situation, with the military industrial complex merely setting their sights on space exploration and development rather than war at home.  It's almost the same technology, except instead of using it to destroy people and infrastructure, you're using it to create living habitats and new infrastructure for research and exploration.  Same people, same players, but different goals.  There's potential for unlimited growth abroad as well as the new technology that will trickle down Earth's gravity well to improve life for people at home.

How about creating an article on the [[Virtual Planetary Laboratory]]? The Kelley UW source was already in the article, so I cited the ref name at the end of the sentence.

:{ {reply|Apokryltaros|BatteryIncluded|Mann jess|Sarr Cat|Sunrise}} AFAIK - all concerns presented have been appropriately considered on the "[[Talk:Abiogenesis]]" page - more than once it would seem: ie, considering the [[Abiogenesis]] "[[Talk:Abiogenesis#FAQ|FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS]]" page, related "[[Talk:Abiogenesis]]" discussions, as well as relevant archival discussions and the main "[[Abiogenesis]]" article itself  - also - all concerns have been considered consistent with Wikipedia policy (including that ''"All Wikipedia content ... is edited collaboratively"'', according to "[[WP:OWN]]") - a careful reading of the relevant Talk-Sections may present this as well (please see "[[Talk:Abiogenesis#False definition of abiogenesis|Talk-1]]" and "[[Talk:Abiogenesis#Need for presenting the abiogenesis in an objective manner|Talk-2]]") - seems the "[[WP:SPA]]" may be using Wikipedia as a "[[WP:FORUM]]" and/or "[[WP:SOAPBOX]]" - perhaps, "[[WP:1AM]]" and "[[WP:WALLOFTEXT]]" may also apply - in any case - hope the above helps in some way - and - Enjoy! :) [[User:Drbogdan|Drbogdan]] ([[User talk:Drbogdan|talk]]) 13:06, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

== [[Mars]] - [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mars_2020&oldid=643599634 Greenhouse payload?] ==
Hello. Do you remember anything about an experiment-payload regarding a greenhouse of sorts proposed to be included in a future Mars lander or rover?  I think I read or wrote something about that some time go and I can't remember that WP article.  Thanks, [[User:BatteryIncluded|BatteryIncluded]] ([[User talk:BatteryIncluded|talk]]) 17:05, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
:{{reply|BatteryIncluded}} Only thing that comes to mind atm is some planned studies (ie, "Mars Plant Experiment" (MPX)?) with the "[[Mars 2020]]" rover (note: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mars_2020&diff=650345021&oldid=650342642 deleted from article on 7 March 2015]) - archived and somewhat described at the following => "[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mars_2020&oldid=643599634 Mars 2020 - old version (21 January 2015)]" - hope this helps - Enjoy! :) [[User:Drbogdan|Drbogdan]] ([[User talk:Drbogdan#top|talk]]) 17:41, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
::{{ping|Drbogdan}} That explains why I went to that article first and when I did not see it I thought I had Alzheimers. So it was deleted because it was proposed but not selected? I ask because there is another very interesting experiment proposed and I did not know where to document it. It is proposed for a rover (if all goes well, for the 2020 rover): terraforming in Mars to produce oxygen inside a little capsule. This proposal just got $100,000 to document many more simulations in "Mars environment chambers" on Earth using extremophiles mixed in Martian analog regolith. The aim is to eventually build several larger biodomes for habitat but mostly to produce biogenic oxygen and bottle it for life-support.  Look at the references I collected here: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:BatteryIncluded/sandbox].  
::Maybe its own article? Maybe into [[Terraforming of Mars]]?  And if it gets selected, we can move it later to the 2020 rover article. What do you think?
::This would make 2 experiments focused on O<sub>2</sub> production ''in situ'' (Ecopoiesis and MOXIE), as O<sub>2</sub> tanks transport would be extremely expensive.  Cheers, [[User:BatteryIncluded|BatteryIncluded]] ([[User talk:BatteryIncluded|talk]]) 22:23, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
:::{{reply|BatteryIncluded}} Yes - seems a worthy effort - not sure where best to add the material (flexible w/ this atm) - the "[[Terraforming of Mars]]" article would be a consideration of course - the "[[Mars Oxygen ISRU Experiment|MOXIE]]" article itself may also be a consideration I would think - iac - hope this helps - Enjoy! :) [[User:Drbogdan|Drbogdan]] ([[User talk:Drbogdan#top|talk]]) 00:19, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
::::After some more thought, [[Terraforming of Mars]] may not be the actual subject, as the proposed experiment and resulting biodome structures would be sealed to the environment and only meant as an in situ factory of bottled O<sub>2</sub> using Martian regolith. I will continue to build it, short and sweet, and see what comes up. Maybe [[Human mission to Mars]]? or [[In situ resource utilization]]?  So far, there is not much preliminary data released so there is not much to talk about, besides the concept and grants to mature it.

Hello! I'm Jacqueline Yeung, currently a Carnegie Mellon Researcher at the Human Computer Interaction Institute. The Pittsburgh Wiki Meet Up has referred you as a candidate to connect with regarding our current study. 

We'd would like to invite you to our research study by editing the Hummus page at our office while thinking aloud and answering questions regarding the experience of a top contributor of Wikipedia.

As a newcomer to Wikipedia, I am interested in understanding what it takes to become a top contributor. Our goal is to create a tool that will provide more historical and discussion information about articles to editors that are aware of where they are editing.

I'm so excited to meet you and learn about your experiences with Wikipedia. Please contact me at hcicmuresearch@gmail.com if you're interested in contributing to our research.

== [[Evolution]] - edit summaries ==
There is a style of vandalism where people change only numbers, sometimes by a lot and often by just a little.  I've fixed two of these today. (The Pakistanis hate the Indians and the Indians hate the Pakistanis... (sigh))  Now I went and checked the ref'd [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Evolution&curid=9236&diff=665690381&oldid=664972367#cite_note-PLoS-20110823-17 abstract] and was happy to see that number [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Evolution&curid=9236&diff=665690381&oldid=664972367 you changed to].  But I might not have been so suspicious if the summary said more than "(adj)".  Perhaps expanding a bit on that, like "use percent from ref'd abstract" would more be reassuring?

Yes, the IAU aproves crater names. But the quad names are given after a prominent crater within it. Currently most of the quad names shown on the preliminary map do not exist, they did not obtain IAU approval. Just two of the 15 names saved, Asari and Rongo. The rest 13 names shown on the preliminary map of quads do not exist now, they were just preliminary and now dissapeared. That is why this preliminary map should be deleted. In other case it makes confusion providing a wrong information. [[Special:Contributions/108.167.40.165|108.167.40.165]] ([[User talk:108.167.40.165|talk]]) 04:52, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
:Thank you for your comments - yes - I understand your concerns - however - the approved [[International Astronomical Union|IAU]] names of [[Impact crater|craters]] on [[Ceres (dwarf planet)|Ceres]] may (or may not) be related to the unapproved, but proposed, names of [[quadrangle (geography)|quadrangles]] on Ceres - in any case - perhaps it would be better if you present your concerns to the "[[Talk:Ceres (dwarf planet)]]" talk-page, instead of here, since you may wish to hear from other editors about all this as well - hope this helps in some way - Thanks again for your own comments - Enjoy! :) [[User:Drbogdan|Drbogdan]] ([[User talk:Drbogdan#top|talk]]) 13:11, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
::Names of quadrangles do not exist on their own, they are taken after the name of the prominent feature within each quad. Currently there are 18 IAU-approved names for the craters on Ceres and among them there are only two of the preliminary names. So, it is absurd to save a preliminaary map in Wikipedia because such map serves as source of confusion. I'm not sure if it is necessary to open discussion instead just to remove a wrong information. I do it now and ask you to stop returning obsolete data to the page. If there are still any concerns on this issue you could present them to the "[[Talk:Ceres (dwarf planet)]]" talk-page.

== Five minutes to help make WikiProjects better ==

Hello!

First, on behalf of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject X|WikiProject X]], '''''thank you''''' for trying out the WikiProject X pilot projects. I would like to get some anonymous feedback from you on your experience using the new WikiProject layout and tools. This way, we will know what we did right, and if we did something horribly wrong, we can try to fix it. This feedback won't be associated with your username, so please be completely honest. We are determined to improve the experience of Wikipedians, and your feedback helps us with that. (You are also welcome to leave non-anonymous feedback at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject X]].)

Please complete the '''[https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1_pL1S6yklL6KFQEDtVxTyEivM4jeMgBdTO5JEgqwdeY/viewform survey here]'''. The survey has two parts: the first part asks for your username, while the second part contains the survey questions. These two parts are stored separately, so your username will not be associated with your feedback. There are only nine questions and it should not take very long to complete. Once you complete the survey I will leave a handwritten note on your talk page as a token of my appreciation.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, [[User:Harej|Harej]] ([[User talk:Harej|talk]]) 17:49, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Interesting read: [http://online.liebertpub.com/doi/pdfplus/10.1089/ast.2015.1331]. They think there are two ways (environments) the [[carbon]] was acquired before the [[Solar System]] was formed.

Hi I had previously seperated this into red meat and processed to make it more understandable. The bottom section is where i left all the content where the studies did not distinguish between red meat and processed red meat. When things are not controlled for the effects could be muddeled. This is basic science. THe only reason i left the text is as a note of what kind of content is left in this section. If you think i wrote it in a way that requires a cytation, please clean it up so that it does not require one otherwise the note will be most likely removed promptly. Citations are only needed for where there is controversy, this is a section heading saying what kind of content follows below, not a assertion of fact. Please fix as you wish and remove the tag as the comment will be soon removed otherwise.

== [[Geoff Marcy|Marcy]] ==
Hey Drb - thanks for poking at [[Geoffrey Marcy]].  I'm very hesitant to add any material to the article myself, since I am quite directly involved in the real-life situation, and only added the lines that I did because I found it vaguely awkward that our article on him was as positive sounding as it is given the amount of coverage the situation has received, and because of it's pretty much unprecedented nature in terms of the magnitude and speed of his fall from grace. The SFSU material seemed pretty directly relevant since it had been confirmed by someone who was SFSU's administrator handling sexual harrassment issues at the time, and pushed the dates of his behavior back by quite a bit.  I added the Michael Eisen quote because besides his own prominence (he co-founded PLOS) he was one of the first two UCB faculty members to publicly speak out about Marcy's behavior, and adding at least one quote about his behavior seemed appropriate given that it's been publicly condemned by literally thousands of academics, including at least three dozen PhD-holding NASA employees, all but two of our astro faculty, etc.  I'm going to avoid making any further edits to the article directly myself unless it's to remove blatant vandalism in one direction or another, but will shortly be starting to comment on the talk page more.  

I would highly encourage you to exercise caution in deciding whether or not to include or exclude any material from the article, because a huge number of people likely to be active on the talkpage or article (myself heavily included) have real-world connections to the situation that brings our ability to follow NPOV in to significant doubt even when we attempt to do so. Pretty much any new editor and any established editor with connections to the UC system who edits the page can be safely assumed to have a conflict of interest in their edits in one direction or the other.

== [[Global warming]] / [[Climate change]] / [[Climate]] ==
GW is the article for the present-day matters. Climate change is the long term stuff, so stuff like [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Climate_change&diff=692970591&oldid=692966018] isn't needed. One ref is enough. Climate, ditto; that section has see-main to GW, which is enough [[User:William M. Connolley|William M. Connolley]] ([[User talk:William M. Connolley|talk]]) 15:51, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

== Editing guidebook: [[gene]]s and [[protein]]s ==
Hi! You were suggested to me as someone with an interest in [[biochemistry]] - I wondered if you'd be willing to have a look at the Wiki Education Foundation's draft of a guidebook for [[User:Eryk (Wiki Ed)/sandbox/genes and proteins|genes and proteins articles]]? I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance! [[User:Eryk (Wiki Ed)|Eryk (Wiki Ed)]] ([[User talk:Eryk (Wiki Ed)|talk]]) 19:46, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

I also notice you wish to enlarge the map. While I understand your concerns, I think the way it was put on the lead was a mess. If you click on the map three times, you can view it in full size and detail. If you still wish to enlarge it in the article, I think the best way to do it is to allow me to expand the section so it can fit in the section. And as I explained in the talk page, I am in the process of citing and expanding the other sections like I did with the lightsaber section. But as I also explained this could take a few days, so be patient, I'll have it done. :-)--[[User:Nadirali|Nadirali نادرالی]] ([[User talk:Nadirali|talk]]) 00:27, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

While I continue my work on [[Physics and Star Wars]], I thought you might be interested in improving List of Star Wars substances. It can be found in my sandbox [[User:Nadirali/sandbox]].
