Hi. Just wanted to say that I reverted your obviously good faith edit. But, the edit summary, in part, auto-generated by the tool, doesn't reflect the good faith assumption. -- Sundar ^{\talk \contribs} 08:25, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Talkstosocks! On 13 April you edited Static pressure to indicate that stagnation pressure is similar to, or a synonym of, total pressure. I have reversed your edits for the following reason. In incompressible flows, (and compressible flows without shock waves) total pressure and stagnation are numerically equal. However, apart from being numerically equal, they are not the same.

Stagnation pressure is a static pressure. It is the name given to the static pressure at a stagnation point. (Static pressure can be measured using an aneroid, Bourdon tube, mercury column etc.) Stagnation pressure is not total pressure. Total pressure has a mathematical definition, but it cannot be measured using an aneroid, Bourdon tube, mercury column etc.

Total pressure is defined and has a value for every point in every fluid flow field. In contrast, stagnation pressure only exists at a stagnation point. In many flow fields there is no stagnation point, and therefore stagnation pressure does not exist anywhere in those flow fields. The static pressure at every point in those flow fields is less than total pressure.

A similar situation exists with Newton's second law, F=ma. Newton's second law tells us that force, and mass times acceleration, are numerically equal. However, they are not the same. Force is one thing. Mass is another thing, and acceleration is a third thing.

I am happy to discuss further if you wish. Dolphin51 (talk) 13:02, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Hello, Talkstosocks. You have new messages at Dolphin51's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am sending you this message since you are a member of the GA WikiProject. I would like to invite you to consider helping with the GA sweeps process. Sweeps helps to ensure that the oldest GAs still meet the criteria, and improve the quality of GAs overall. Unfortunately, last month only two articles were reviewed. This is definitely a low point after our peak at the beginning of the process when 163 articles were reviewed in September 2007. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. All exempt and previously reviewed articles have already been removed from the list. Instead of reviewing by topic, you can consider picking and choosing whichever articles interest you.

We are always looking for new members to assist with the remaining articles, so if you are interested or know of anybody that can assist, please visit the GA sweeps page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. If only 14 editors achieve this feat starting now, we would be done with Sweeps! Of course, having more people reviewing less articles would be better for all involved, so please consider asking others to help out. Feel free to stop by and only review a few articles, something's better than nothing! Take a look at the list, and see what articles interest you. Let's work to complete Sweeps so that efforts can be fully focused on the backlog at GAN. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 08:48, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

An editor has nominated List of Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! guests (2005) for deletion. Opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns.

In light of the fact that, in previous discussion (see Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!), editors suggested breaking out a list of WWDTM guests in a separate article, those who view and edit this article might want to weigh in on the proposed deletion. (From my point of view, the reasons for proposing deletion are strange. It's especially strange that that article, in particular, is targeted for deletion, while the other eleven years' pages are apparently notable enough to remain. To remove only the year 2005 would leave a hole in the record for no discernible reason.--HughGRex (talk) 23:33, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Note: I've added a couple of references to some of the List of Guests pages, by Googling "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me xxxxx," where "xxxxx" denotes the name of a guest. I've refrained from linking to the many NPR Affiliates' sites and blogs, preferring to link to newspapers, magazines, interviews, and etc. I'm sure there are more refs to be found; and if we can link as many such refs as possible, it'll rebut two main reasons given for deleting the articles (that they're not notable, and that there aren't any third-party references).--HughGRex (talk) 21:25, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks so much. It still pisses me off, we shouldn't be having to do this. If people wanted to start this fight, they should have picked it with a more high profile target. I feel like the case is being made, that it's ok for episode pages to exist for shows they know and not for ones they personally don't know --The Talking Sock talk contribs 04:23, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Re . I left a message about the nomination at User_talk:HughGRex (eventho it's not necessary to do so), because the article was started by that user. -- Jeandré (talk), 2009-09-09t11:18z

Hi Talkstosocks, thanks for your work on the 2009 Corruption Perceptions Index world map. I just finished reordering the CPI table and noticed one omission from your map. The Central African Republic is given a CPI of 2.0, but your map states there is no information for it. I'm not sure if there are any other mistakes. Sorry for the trouble. Arsonal (talk) 10:35, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello Arsonal. Thank you for checking the CPI map. Once you have worked on it as long as I did, you lose the ability to see it from a larger perspective. I tried my best to include every number but it was inevitable that I would miss one or two. It is no trouble atall, on the contrary, you have given me the opportunity to improve my work. Cheers, The Talking Sock talk contribs 14:00, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Another question. Would it be possible to get the hexadecimal color codes you used to color the map? If we're to use a coloring system, the map and the table should be synchronized. I may end up removing the colors altogether, but it's useful for future reference. Thanks! Arsonal (talk) 19:50, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

I used the same colours as the old map, they are:

0 128 0 9-10

0 198 0 8-8.9

222 222 0 7-7.9

255 206 99 6-6.9

255 165 82 5-5.9

255 107 107 4-4.9

255 0 0 3-3.9

198 0 0 2-2.9

128 0 0 1-1.9

192 192 192 n/a

with the format R G B range

After seeing the map in the guardian, I kinda liked their colours better with just one hue, blue, at different intensities, the most corrupt being the darkest: http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2009/nov/17/corruption-index-transparency-international

I submitted the updated svg file, but the png which is shown on wikipedia pages has not changed. I don't know if this will happen automatically, but if you click through and look at the actual map, the change is there, it's only on the rendered pngs that it doesn't show up... do you know how to fix this at all? - The Talking Sock talk contribs 01:45, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure why it's not updating. We'll wait a bit and see if the server cache purges it. The single color with varying hues is also published on Transparency International's website here. Arsonal (talk) 04:25, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

One thing I don't like about the one colour scheme is the fact that it places an emphasis on the corrupt countries. The less corrupt a country is the fainter it is, and with a white background, they almost fade away. With the one I used here, both the corrupt and the non-corrupt are hi-lighted. - The Talking Sock talk contribs 14:17, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

The article Jigsaw Killer (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not a useful disambiguation page, the page for Jigsaw Killer has a disambiguation link at the top so this page is superfluous.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Fences&Windows 02:55, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

I believe that this disambiguation page is legitimate because I feel that this murder deserves more than just one line at the top of an article as a pointer. Maybe it should go up for a vote instead of just being summarily deleted..? - The Talking Sock talk 03:15, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Never fear, I just wrote Murder of Jeffrey Howe. There is a disambiguation link at the top of Jigsaw Killer that directs to it. Fences&Windows 03:17, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject Good Articles will be running a GAN backlog elimination drive for the entire month of April. The goal of this drive is to bring the number of outstanding Good Article nominations down to below 200. This will help editors in restoring confidence to the GAN process as well as actively improving, polishing, and rewarding good content. If you are interested in participating in the drive, please place your name here. Awards will be given out to those who review certain numbers of GANs as well as to those who review the most. Hope we can see you in April.

Hi Talkstosocks,

I'm afraid I've had to remove your average polling graph. You're not User:Ar558a, are you? They added a very similar one quite recently, which was flawed for many of the same reasons - principally in that it assumes that if you average out the polls you'll get closer to the truth, when that's not necessarily the case. I advise you to look at the message I left on their talk page.

There's similarly the question of arbitrariness - why confine yourself to this month, rather than the whole period since the last election? Also, I advise you not to include the date in the filename, but rather to update any graph as necessary.

Finally, can you please tell me where on earth the purple = others thing comes from? Ar558a did the same thing, and I've never seen it before. It's far more usual to use grey. Wereon (talk) 23:11, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

I am not User:Ar558a. I think it is wrong that there is a graph of just ICM polling. An average, I agree, is not a perfect solution for polling data, but I was looking for a way to compactly display the info.

It is good to have a graph of only the data since the election was called as it is easier to see what's been going on lately. Just take a minute and look at the graph that's there and see if you can tell what's going on lately, it's impossible. This way, people who want to see long term trends can look at the existing graph and those who want to see the recent changes can look at the one I put up

Purple is just the colour that came up on excel, no reason for it, I realise it's not the best to use 'cause of UKIP, so I can change it, but I'd also like to put my graph back up for the reasons listed above. I think it is unreasonable for you to have taken the graph down before having this conversation with me, but we can figure it out. - The Talking Sock talk 01:18, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm kinda with Talkstosocks on this one - an average, while not infallible, is useful. A concievably *more* useful graph though is to give all the points for all the pollers, as a scatter chart, together with an average line. And secondly, there is a pressing need, given recent events, for a graph to show a shorter period than five years. Otherwise you cannot successful depict the post debate effect, which is pretty darn important and noteworthy, temporary blip or not.--Fangz (talk) 02:29, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I understand. The ideal solution would be to have graphs for all of the regular pollsters, but it might be a bit of an information overload.

My main concern with this graph is that it is too susceptible to differences in polling methodologies. Angus Reid, for instance, poll Labour lower and Others higher than the other pollsters. Look at the 19th of April, when the last ARPO came out, and you do indeed find a dip in the red line and a bump in the grey one.

Apologies for removing it without asking you. I recommend that we take it down for now, and start a debate on one of the talk pages about what ought to go in its place. Wereon (talk) 21:35, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Update. Talkstosocks it really needs to be updated asap especially as this is election day. If you are not able to do so then, Im afraid I'm going to have to take it down pending that update. Thanks - Galloglass 10:35, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

I've now removed it pending your update. - Galloglass 11:12, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Thank you very much for taking this step. My internet connection was down so I was not able to update the graph until now and it is important that it be up to date especially now. I have now done the latest update. - The Talking Sock talk 11:54, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Cheers :) - Galloglass 12:06, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

{{User:TFOWR/Userboxes/Kiwi}}

Apologies for that! Reason I stole it was because I'm an expatriate - a Kiwi living in Scotland - and most Kiwi userboxes add editors to the "Wikipedians in New Zealand" category (and, for a while, my userpage proudly stated that I was simultaneously in both Scotland and New Zealand...)

Hope that's OK. Let me know if not and I can rectify it. Probably by returning to the old state of living in two countries simultaneously...!) TFOWR 10:20, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

You have no need to be apologetic, this is great! I too am not in NZ, but canada, and i grew up in massachusetts, and now I can use yours and not be in canada, new zealand and massachusetts all at once!

Hello, you are receiving this message because you are currently a participant of WikiProject Good articles. Since the creation of the WikiProject, over 200 user's have joined to help review good article nominations and contribute to other sections of the WikiProject. Over the years, several of these users have stopped reviewing articles and/or have become inactive with the project but are still listed as participates. In order to improve communications with other participants and get newsletters sent out faster (newsletters will begin to be sent out monthly starting in October) all participants that are no longer active with the WikiProject will be removed from the participants list.

If you are still interested in being a participant for this WikiProject, please sign your user name here and please help review some articles so we can reduce the size of the backlog. If you are no longer interested, you do not need to sign your name anywhere and your name will be removed from the participants list after the deadline. Remember that even if you are not interested at this time, you can always re-add your name to the list whenever you want. The deadline to sign your name on the page above will be November 1, 2012. Thank-you. 13:35, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for having to send out a second message but a user has brought to my attention that a point mentioned in the first message should be clarified. If user's don't sign on this page, they will be moved to an "Inactive Participants" list rather then be being removed from the entire WikiProject.
