Where is Kenny Wood?
Greetings MaxEnt! You mention on your userpage that you run a personal MediaWiki for notetaking. May I ask, what is your operating system, and what was your strategy for setting up such as system? I have a non-technical mind for these things. Cheers, Arbitrarily0 (talk) 21:45, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Fundamental interaction may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Hi. You appear to have some expertise in the visual system. I've been bothered for some time about the definition of "visual"! Back in the day, there were rods and cones and visual had to do with sight. Full stop. Then came chronobiology and later knowledge of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells which have (almost) nothing to do with sight. I see the word visual used to include these 'new' cells and the work they do. But I also see this 'new' system described as non-visual.
According to the article visual system, Wikipedia clearly means that all of it is 'visual'. Is it simply wrong to refer to "non-visual" functions of the eyes & optic nerve etc.? That feels non-intuitive to me. I feel that vision = visual perception = sight.
(You needn't bother with this if you don't have time as it's borderline related to editing the encyclopedia.) --Hordaland (talk) 16:28, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Letter frequency, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page English.

Please add more references for your large amount of new text that you added to Interrupt handler article. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 09:25, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
I have reverted your edit to Slave trade for a number of reasons. First, please do not turn an existing redirect with incoming links into a disambiguation page without discussion and consensus for such a change. Editors often make links using redirects with the expectation that the redirect target will be on the other end, and it is unfair to these editors to change that target without alerting the community. Second, when consensus exists for such a change, it is expected that incoming links will be fixed before the nature of the page is changed, to avoid disrupting the systems that report disambiguation links. Third, this is very clearly a WP:DABCONCEPT, and not an ambiguous topic at all. Your page merely listed different routes or kinds of slave trade, and did not disambiguate anything. It was therefore incorrect and a misapplication of disambiguation guidelines to create this page, which you would probably have discovered from a discussion on the matter. bd2412 T 19:41, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
((sad-reality-redirect))
, expanding to: Slave trade redirects here; it probably shouldn't but it does. Likewise the slave trade redirect page itself could contain text (or an HTML comment) to warn the next speedy dunderhead that this is, for the time being, a known sand trap. Less facetiously, one could hat note—perhaps at section level: "slave trade redirects here; for specific slave trades, see slave trade (disambiguation)."I left your recent edit alone for now, but it should really be sourced when you have a moment. I don't doubt that it's true, but since this article is lacking proper sourcing all over the place, the last thing we want to do is contribute to the mess. Thanks. --GoneIn60 (talk) 17:50, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

If I switch on a light, clearly 0% of that comes from renewable sources like wind and solar; because they haven't reacted to the light, they just put out a continuous amount of power, based on the weather etc. so there's no marginal contribution from renewables, and it's just the fossil power that takes up the slack!
Likewise if I plug an electric car in, *none* of that electricity comes from renewables!
And by extension, since all of the electricity in my house gets switched on sometime, none of the electricity in my house ever comes from renewables!
Clearly something is wrong with that logic. When you work out what it is, you'll understand what is wrong with the section you added to the talk page at Talk:electric car.GliderMaven (talk) 23:32, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi @MaxEnt: Welcome to Wikipedia!! I removed that tone tag, as the page has been copyedited fully 8 times and both statements are referenced.

Just noticed your edit. I think the article is unbalanced and far too positive. I'm pretty sure there is substantial criticism of Guns, Germs, and Steel but have never had the time to do any research on it.

Hello :) I am writing my MA dissertation on Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict, and I noticed that you have contributed to those pages. My dissertation will look at the process of collaborative knowledge production on the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the effect it has on bias in the articles. This will involve understanding the profiles and motivations of editors, contention/controversy and dispute resolution in the talk pages, and bias in the final article.
For more information, you can check out my meta-wiki research page or my user page, where I will be posting my findings when I am done.
I would greatly appreciate if you could take 5 minutes to fill out this quick survey before 8 August 2021.
Participation in this survey is entirely voluntary and anonymous. There are no foreseeable risks nor benefits to you associated with this project.

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in gender-related disputes or controversies or in people associated with them. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
