Welcome!

File:Sephiroth.gif Hello, TDogg310, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like working here and want to continue. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at Naming Conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and if you can't find your answer there, check the Village pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and the Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal — and if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my talk page.

Additional tips:

Here are some extra tips to help you get around Wikipedia:

• If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.
• If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills, try the Sandbox.
• Click on the Edit button on a page, and look at how other editors did what they did.
• You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Always sign comments on Talk pages, never sign Articles.
• You might want to add yourself to the New User Log.
• If your first language isn't English, try Wikipedia:Contributing to articles outside your native language.

Happy editing!

Replacing templates with links

Is there a reason why you are replacing things such as Template:SI electromagnetism units incorporated into articles, with a link to a rearranged table in an article SI electromagnetism units] containing nothing other than a table? Has this been discussed anywhere? Do you even know how templates work, what those little doubled-up curly braces are for? Gene Nygaard 00:07, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

November 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Lisa Nowak. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. -MBK₀₀₄ 22:36, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Firearms users

So it is you who has been screwing around with the display format for firearms users.. Please don't without at least consulting the project page. It's difficult to maintain uniform standards if they're being applied only selectively. Koalorka (talk) 13:30, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

cite mess

hi tdogg,

you edited Petroleum fly, changing the way citations work in there. this way of doing it has two major disadantages:

• makes source quite hard to read
• no way to accurately sort references.

so, as a result the page IMO is messed up in source, and in display, in order to fulfill the needs of a bloated and not quite useful template. that's why i'm doing a Footnotes section with reflist, and then a proper references section, sorted by year. i just wanted to know there are good reasons to stop this, and that this is driving quite some people away from editing pages that have in effect been vandalized in their source. sorry to sound a little bit harsh, it's nothing personal, and i believe that you're doing this with the best intentions, but it really hurts to see good pages go down the drain of obfuscation. Please see also WP:CITESHORT. i would say let's not try to convert each other. i only kill the inline cite templates when i'm editing an article in depth and just cannot work with the source. maybe there are valid reasons to use them in some contexts, but i think at least the two ways of doing it should coexist for now.

cheers! --Sarefo (talk) 10:12, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Question

Hello TDogg310, nice to meet you. I wanted to first express my appreciation of the work and edits you made to wiki'izng' Che Guevara. I did however have one question of clarity. You switched the dates from the Middle endian form (used in the United States) of Month/Day/Year to the Little endian form (used in most other nations) of Day/Month/Year. The issue was previously discussed with relation to the article, and it was decided to use the Middle endian form ... with that said is there a specific rationale for why you changed these dates, or do you merely believe it looks better/works better/makes more sense etc? I can see the arguments for both forms, although yes I do favor the previously used Middle form. Thanks.   Redthoreau (talk)RT 05:04, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Whenever I come across an article that I notice has inaccurate or insufficient internal links, I fix those as well as change the date format if need be to the standard Little endian. It is sort of an OCD response, and I don't see how it could cause problems. I didn't realize that it had been decided the American date format would be used exclusively on the Che Guevara article until after I changed the date format for some of the dates to Little endian. I hope I didn't cause any problems with my edits.TDogg310 (talk) 05:33, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

TDogg, no problems were caused at all, I was simply curious if maybe there was a wiki policy on date listings etc. I also didn't want to revert them, or make any adjustments before speaking with you about it - (I'm still not sure what to do to be honest, as I can see the rationale for both ways). Additionally, I can empathize with your "OCD" on the matter, as I also possess several "quirks" which irritate me/enact a response.   Redthoreau (talk) RT 13:18, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

TDogg, The vast majority of your wiki'ning of the article has been excellent and is much appreciated. However, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind reverting solely the dates to the Middle endian format. The reasoning being that it was previously decided that since the page was mostly read in America that it should reflect that particular audience. After perusing other similar historical figures English pages, I found most to also use this particular formatting for dates. Thank you.   Redthoreau (talk) RT 16:25, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for doing that for me. Also nice work with the continued wiki'n and citations. If you have the time I think a few repeat citations could use formatting, as you seem quite adept at quickly synchronizing them.   Redthoreau (talk) RT 19:47, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Usage point

Hi. I noticed that at Northern Caracara, you changed "The Mexican ornithologist Rafael Martín del Campo proposed..." to "Mexican ornithologist Rafael Martín del Campo proposed..." The construction you preferred is very common in journalism and on Wikipedia, but there are also objections to it, and I never use it. By coincidence, this article making the case against it came out today. What's the case for it? —JerryFriedman (Talk) 21:28, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

GAR for Optical fiber

Optical fiber has been nominated for a good article reassessment. Articles are typically reviewed for one week. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to good article quality. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status will be removed from the article. Reviewers' concerns are here. --A. di M. (talk) 22:51, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Minor edits

Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Brush hook, as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' Thank you. --Ericdn (talk) 21:19, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Re: Caesalpinia kavaiensis

Hey, I saw your edit summary and thought I would chime in with a little FYI. User:Polbot, which is run by User:Quadell is working on creating articles for Wikipedia:WikiProject Law/United States federal judges. I guess in the past it did work on creating articles for the IUCN Red List. Caesalpinia kavaiensis was tagged as an orphan by another bot, User:Addbot, which is run by User:Addshore. This article was tagged because it appeared on one of three lists here. These lists may no longer be updated, but you can see from whatlinkshere, that it was orphaned before you added it to Hawaiian tropical dry forests. Anyway, drop me a line if you run into any problems. BTW, you may notice some traffic on some of the talk pages you have edited, as I'm trying to tag them. Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 00:26, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

I forgot to mention: I was monitoring the orphaned articles by using the orphan=yes paramter in the project tag, but I see that somebody has removed it from the template without telling me. This is unfortunate, as it was more current and categorized the articles, unlike WolterBot. In any case, if you are interested, you can see a list of currently orphaned articles here. Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 00:32, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Iao Valley

Good edits, but be careful with stuff like this. This information is true, but was simply lacking sources. Another editor added one part back in with a source, but that still leaves out its state ranking, which should be put back in. In the future, if you're unsure, just move it to the talk page with a note there, instead of outright deletion. Thanks! Viriditas (talk) 06:23, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

I wasn't aware of that template. Usually I don't bother to check your edits on articles that I watch...glad I happened to check that edit of yours to Krugiodendron ferreum. Looks like a useful template. Guettarda (talk) 19:05, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

categories

Hi,

I wonder if you're aware that we only put articles in the most specific categories available. For example, if an article is in Category:Extinct flora of Hawaii, then it needn't be in Category:Flora of Hawaii nor Category:Extinct plants, because both these last two are parent categories of the first. On the other hand, an article can be in Category:Extinct flora of Hawaii and Category:Endemic flora of Hawaii because neither is a parent of the other.

I do lot of category cleanup, and I've noticed that I'm cleaning up a lot of this kind of stuff behind you. I'm not complaining; I don't mind doing it. If you prefer to move through quickly and leave a few loose ends for me or others to clean up after you, that's fine with me. I just thought maybe you didn't know.

Double redirect

Hello. Last night, you moved STA sniper to Scout Sniper Platoon without addressing the redirecting pages. In some cases, this created a double redirect that had to be fixed. In the future, when you move a page, you should take care to correct these double redirects, and I recommend correcting the redirect on any high-use templates as well (such as navboxes). You can use the what links here link in your toolbox (on the left side of the page) to see what redirects exist. Thanks. bahamut0013^words_deeds 10:26, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Hawaii tropical low shrublands

Thanks for creating this article. Any idea why this redirects to Hawaiian tropical low shrublands instead? The actual ecozone classification is Hawaii, not Hawaiian, right? Viriditas (talk) 12:26, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Ceramic Heating Elements

Thanks for the message re Ceramic Elements and heating. Sorry to bother you further but there arose another question or two.

If electron carriers are made available in ceramics upon the application of heat and thereore some resistance is overcome allowing a resisted flow, then logically one would assume: more heat = more available carriers. How then does one get MORE heat by turning the voltage up. Doesn't more heat/voltage then reduce resistance and give less heat? I realise i must be missing a point somewhere or just went DOH! on you.

Also, are they some sort of special ceramic or blended with a none ceramic, because as i have always understood it, ceramics are used as one of the best insulators as in powerlines - even high voltage/hot ones and arcing things like switches ergo also 'hot' but highly resistive.

Sorry for the obvious lack of basic knowledge, my area/hobby is more Gedanken Experiments in physics of time and space. Good luck with your studies, sounds like you are very passionate about your work and the world sure needs more of that right now especially. Also read through your use talk page and just wondering whether you might be Hawaiian? Don't mean to be rude. Have a personal reason for asking but don't know if this is the right place to continue. Is there somewhere more private to chat directly with someone on Wiki or is that poor form? And if so how does one do it? Sorry again for my ignorance but you seemed like a nice person to ask. Thanks a million.

Stop please

Before you go further on another Everglades article. These were meticulously crafted with much attention to detail. I'm already trying to revert some of your changes to Everglades National Park, the oldest FA and the one that indeed needs a bit of a dust-off. The capitalization should remain consistent throughout the article. If you have questions, please take it to my talk page or the articles' talk pages. --Moni3 (talk) 18:56, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Ok, well I apologize for my mini-freakout. There are six Everglades articles. The first I wrote was the ENP article, when FA standards were a bit looser than they are today. For the others, however, I spent many hours trying to get the species names right, linking, searching for the right ones, etc. I appreciate the South Florida rockland article you wrote, and kept most of your structural changes, but the capitalization must be consistent throughout the article. Apologies if I came on too strong. My primary concerns are accuracy and consistency. --Moni3 (talk) 19:55, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Geographical categories for birds

Hi. I noticed you've been adding geographical categories, such as "Native birds of the Southwestern United States", to bird articles.

You are now a Reviewer

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) 18:15, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Coromandel Ebony

To answer your question from 2009 in this move comment, because the article, when I created it, was in fact about Coromandel Ebony, Diospyros melanoxylon. However, later one anon put in this confused text about D. celebica, and then a later anon "fixed" the article by converting it to be exclusively about D. celebica - but leaving it at its old name. I found this out just now when wondering what had happened to my stub, and thought I'd share the solution to this minor mystery. Best wishes, — Hex (❝?!❞) 11:02, 24 October 2012 (UTC).

Article titles

Wikipedia is for the common people. The policy at WP:UCN states that "The term most typically used in reliable sources is preferred to technically correct but rarer forms, whether the official name, the scientific name...". And in all of these cases, these plants are commonly referred to by their common names. The editors at Rose seems to realise this. Yet you moved Pachyrhizus erosus in 2010 to that unheard name, from the original name of 'Jícama', a much more common name. Whatever 'decision' for a 'standard convention' for plants was decided by some editors is a decision that should be ignored as it goes against policy. And no editor has to follow guidelines, acts, or rules set by anyone unless stated so on a policy page. Please change the name of that article back to 'Jícama'. Thank you.--ɱ (talk) 22:58, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

I would appreciate your consideration on this issue.--ɱ (talk) 18:42, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Go ahead and change the article back to its previous title. I was a bit hasty when I made the switch to use the scientific name as the title. The debate between whether or not an accent mark should be in the title is a bit silly, but I'll admit that my solution goes against multiple guidelines.--TDogg310 (talk) 18:50, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 13

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Andros, Bahamas, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Greater Antillean Pewee. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Assistance with the Tradescantia pallida article

Hello! I was hoping I might get your help with the Tradescantia pallida article; I removed a sentence to the talk page which I believe was in error. It looks like it originated with an edit you made in 2011 (which I presume was correct) but mutated into error sometime in between. The trouble is I did not immediately find the source referenced, so I wasn't entirely confident fixing the mess. I was hoping you might have the time to take a look. Many thanks! --TeaDrinker (talk) 14:11, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
