Greetings @ Lambiam,

Many times I had requested for info @ reference desk humanities. Other than few curiosity driven queries most are for later referencing or research. Me being busy in multiple topics there is a time lag from my side in utilizing previous discussion. Though present archiving provides search facility still it is not structured enough to go back in more than few months old discussion.

Is there any bot which can help me in providing list of archived discussions I participated or some other way around which you may be aware of?

Many thanks for all the effort you always put in while providing information.

People in their 50s dying of old age

William Hartnell was about 55 years old when he played the original incarnation of the Doctor in Doctor Who and maybe 58 in his final story. While Richard Hurndall was about 72 or 73 when he played him in the 20th anniversary story The Five Doctors and David Bradley was 75 in the 12th Doctor's (Peter Capaldi) two final episodes The Doctor Falls and Twice Upon a Time. Here are images of 55 year old actors, 58, 72-73 and 75. And the cause of the First Doctor's regeneration was old age. 86.130.4.167 (talk) 18:39, 25 May 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi, Lambiam. I don't mean to insult or belittle you, but in that reference desk thread, you accused me of "building my questions on false premises."^[1] I don't see how I was intentionally doing so, I was merely going by what you had said in a separate thread. It was you who originally put forward the idea that there was no explosion and that this non-explosion ("fireball," as you described it) was only present on the north side of the building where the plane entered, away from the South Tower.^[2] Your words, not mine. If my question was indeed built on false premises, they were certainly not false premises I had come up with; they were invented by you, and I was merely seeking clarification on whether or not your claims were true. Hmm1994 (talk) 08:05, 15 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I did my best to answer your question, but then I was chided by an old hand at the Reference desk for trying. First I thought the issue was that the original question was too meaningless to be discussed, but that was not the reason. Instead, I was told, "One cannot meaningfully answer a question built on false premises. Instead, we need to provide clarification and seek further information as to what the question asker wants to know." I was puzzled, because I could not detect any false premises. I apologized, but (as I also stated in my last post in the thread) I still do not understand what was wrong with the question and am as puzzled as you are. I hope this clarifies the issue.  --Lambiam 10:31, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Oh, I see. Thank you for clearing that up. Apologies for assuming you were accusing me on purpose. I might ask the admin how the question was based on false pretenses. Hmm1994 (talk) 14:55, 15 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi Lambiam, as I appreciate your answers and your analyze (effectively I am French and I think you are turkish living in Istambul area), I will ask you a private science question. In this extract of Graeme Bartlett answer "...Or you could look at the energy in one cycle of the emission. But that last one will still depend on the frequency and bandwidth...". More precisely, if you look at "E=hv", isn't there something that surprises you in this answer ? I am interested in corresponding with you for a publication that I'm about to write, may be at 4 hand with you if you are interested.

Thanks Malypaet (talk) 12:59, 18 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You are correct in observing that W·sr⁻¹·m⁻²·Hz⁻¹ is the same unit as J·sr⁻¹·m⁻². Its dimension in base quantities is ${\displaystyle {\mathsf {MT^((-}2))},}$ so viewed that way there is a time component. Since a physicist does not see a conflict, it is difficult to answer the question, "How should we understand, interpret or justify this conflict?" It is like the question, "When did you stop beating your wife?" The usual concept of a quantity being time dependent is that the quantity is not constant but varies with time, and not that the units expressing them have a time dimension. These two are unrelated: the speed of light has dimension ${\displaystyle {\mathsf {LT^((-}1))},}$ yet it is constant, while the fraction of the Moon that is lit by the Sun, viewed from Earth, is a dimensionless yet time-dependent quantity.

I am afraid I'm not interested in corresponding about or working on a future publication.  --Lambiam 14:16, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

Ok I shall continue on my own,

for your information: with "E=hv" , "the energy in one cycle of the emission" contrary to what Graeme writes, as to have the energy of a cycle we divide the energy by the frequency, the energy of a cycle will always be equal to the value of "h", whatever the frequency.

Sorry, but I think you are confusing Planck's law with the Planck relation. The only thing they have in common is that both were invented by Max Planck to resolve the so-called ultraviolet catastrophe – a tremendous discrepancy between theory and actual observation. The formula of Planck's law was derived empirically to fit the actual observations. Planck came up with the formula now known as the Planck relation as a theoretical explanation of the observed law. Later the Planck relation was also experimentally confirmed. Other than this historical relationship, they are totally different and unrelated things.

Concept	What is measured	Its source	Formula
Planck's law	spectral density of electromagnetic radiation	emitted by a black body	${\displaystyle B_{\nu }(T)=2h\nu ^{3}c^((-}2}(e^{\frac {h\nu }{k_{\mathrm {B} }T))-1)^((-}1))$
Planck relation	energy	carried by a single photon	${\displaystyle E=h\nu }$

What is the most effective way to promote social justice in a democracy governed by the rule of law? can we say that market-based approaches, such as economic development and job creation, are the most effective way to lift people out of poverty and promote social mobility? Or that more direct interventions, such as redistributive policies or social welfare programs, are necessary to address deep-seated inequalities and ensure that all members of society have a fair chance to succeed? how can we strike a balance between market-based and more direct interventions in order to achieve the greatest benefit for all members of society? Grotesquetruth (talk) 15:57, 25 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The question is too broad to have a reasonably comprehensive answer. Which ways one may hope to be effective depends critically on the social, political and economical situation. What works in situation A will not work in situation B. And who precisely is doing the intervention, what authority do they have to intervene, and what instruments do they have at their disposal? Is there even a social consensus that more social justice is desirable, or are there powerful opposing actors? All these aspects must be taken into consideration. Economic development and job creation are not by themselves market-based approaches, but potential policy objectives that (depending on the situation and the methods employed, but also on uncertain factors), if attained, may or may not help to promote social justice. Pure market-based approaches as advocated by laissez-faire liberals are unlikely to further social justice, because the external costs are always borne the most by the least privileged – that's the way the cookie crumbles.  --Lambiam 16:27, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

Greetings. Your advice was, of course, absolutely correct. However, I sometimes indulge editors with radical ideas. It allows me to gently explain what Wikipedia is and some policies, while letting them have their say. Sometimes, I can turn them around and they become contributors. Usually, they just go quiet. Sometimes, I just have to abandon the effort. As far as I know, it has never reached the point where an admin had to take action. Cheers. Constant314 (talk) 21:08, 16 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Last night, i noticed that you had written a reply, and i started answering, but was held up before i could save it. My answer was partly expressing thanks for your change of tone, and partly on the original topic. When i went back to the computer this morning and wanted to save it, my browser instead showed the edit page for another section, as if i had just selected the edit button, with all of the text i had entered gone. Then i realized that the conversation was archived by a bot. This is strange on two sides: For one, a bot shouldn't archive an ongoing conversation, and then my browser seems to have dealt with that badly. (I hadn't experienced this before; it seems a bug introduced by the new feature that on entering a reply you continuously see a real time preview.) But it may be just as well. Should we do something about it or just let it be? ◅ Sebastian 04:07, 23 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The archiving policy at the Reference desk is that (non-empty) pages are archived a fixed number of days after they're started, irrespective of recent activity. I too have noticed that the Reply feature is somewhat iffy; while I like the real-time preview, it does not always display correctly and one always has to perform a check after committing. I'm not sure, though, that what you witnessed was related to the new feature; I think I have seen similar behaviour before it was introduced.  --Lambiam 09:38, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

Ah, thanks, that explains at least one of the observations. It didn't occur to me that anyone would set up such an unusual archiving policy, so i posted a question about it at Wikipedia talk:Reference desk#Archiving policy. ◅ Sebastian 18:36, 23 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello Lambiam,

I’m reaching out as part of a Cornell University academic study investigating the potential for user-facing tools to help improve discussion quality within Wikipedia discussion spaces (such as talk pages, noticeboards, etc.). We chose to reach out to you because you have been highly active on various discussion pages.

The study centers around a prototype tool, ConvoWizard, which is designed to warn Wikipedia editors when a discussion they are replying to is getting tense and at risk of derailing into personal attacks or incivility. More information about ConvoWizard and the study can be found at our research project page on meta-wiki.

If this sounds like it might be interesting to you, you can use this link to sign up and install ConvoWizard. Of course, if you are not interested, feel free to ignore this message.

If you have any questions or thoughts about the study, our team is happy to discuss! You may direct such comments to me or to my collaborator, Cristian_at_CornellNLP.

Thank you for your consideration.
