Hi,I need your opinion on this section . Does it makes sense? Im not an expert!--Свифт (talk) 11:50, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I added Duesentrieb's CatScan to the toolbox on your user page, after seeing your note at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Categories/Archive 3#List articles?.
I only recently copied the link from somebody else's page, and have not actually tried it myself yet. Hope it is useful to you! – Fayenatic London 17:55, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
The contest page is up now for the Biophysical Society's contest starting at the Feb meeting: linked from the WikiProject Biophysics page or direct at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Biophysics/Biophysics_wiki-edit_contest. It would be really great if you felt willing and able to help judge the entries (after the contest ends in July) - I've very much appreciated your contributions on various biophysics topics. If you are willing, please go there and add yourself to the list of judges. Also, let me know if you have any suggestions for improvement on how we have the contest set up.

Hello. I was just looking at Effective medium approximations. I generally agree with a 2009 comment about dumbing down this article. However, as things go on Wikipedia, only the intro or first couple of sections need to be dumbed down. I mostly understand the intro, and I personally like the first sentence. However, I am inclined to think that the general reader is unable to understand the entire article. I am willing to take a crack at it and develop the first couple of sections, but it will probably be later on. I am hoping you can come behind me and copy edit. Or if you want you can try simplifying the first part of the article. I am guessing that you have more expertise than me. As an afterthought, I think this is a useful article because it has applications in a number of disciplines. ---- Steve Quinn (talk) 23:05, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi RockMagnetist, I noticed that you were involved in the List of important publications in mathematics. It has been requested by Cnilep that List of important publications in anthropology be moved to Bibliography of anthropology. Your comments on this request are most welcome. Please see Talk:List of important publications in anthropology#Requested move. Anthrophilos (talk) 22:35, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
I don't think we ever interacted before, but I was going though User:Scottywong/Admin hopefuls for potential WP:RFA nominees whose name I am not familiar with, but could use the tools. I noticed your name on this list and decided to evaluate some of your contributions to see if you were a suitable candidate for this role. I was intrigued with your contributions and especially your expertise and I wondered if you ever considered having the extra tools. To learn a little bit about myself, and especially my philosophy here is that I am a college student that been editing on and off this project since 2005, reaching administrative status from 2006 to 2009, and just recently recovered my tools back though community consensus. My expertise in the project tends to be based on deletion debates, especially trying to policy consensus correctly though I have article writing experience as well. My userpage has more information about me. I hold a strong interest in editor retention, specifically retaining editors considered "experts" in their field of interest, such as yourself. I strongly believe that certain areas of the project should be handled by experts and not novices who jumps into the subject, not knowing anything about the subject, or the background of a dispute. For me, that is the top reason why retaining experts in this project is extremely difficult, because once they get involved into conflict, they really don't know how to deal with it, and those novices tend to clear them away. Of course once they get familiar with our main policies and guidelines, and learn how to deal with those rather disruptive editors correctly, contributing to the project tends to be a pleasant experience. Of course there is a limited number of "experts" who stay around, disregard our policies, bring a biased point of view to articles, and in several cases, they get administrative status and take advantage of these tools to silence opponent. But looking though your contributions, you are not one of those editors, but a dedicated editor who would handle the tools with care and having these extra tools would significantly improve the project in the long term. Are you willing to accept a RFA nomination? As I noticed many editors I know and trust in this talkpage are more familiar with your contributions, they can be the main nominator if you decide to run. Let me know though either my talk page, or by email. Thanks Secret account 17:16, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
I replied to some of your concerns in my talk page, that part of the criteria the "edits to admin areas" is particularly bull, as it gives an unfair disadvantage to many of our best content contributors and experts. Secret account 21:24, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
I'm going to move forward with the nomination, I do recommend to have your email account set up however before running. Secret account 02:45, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
I'm writing the RFA right now, I already had it done but my computer crashed. I would be emailing you shortly to guide you though this. Thanks Secret account 18:12, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
Dear RockMagnetist, Hi. I think you and RandyKitty might be mistaken about the h-index of 4 for Teresa Maryańska in your contribution to the Afd. I get WoS reporting a h-index of 12 which is, I think, quite a high level of citations such a low citation field! Could you have another look and let us know what you find (and modify, if you got it wrong, your contribution in the Afd about the index even if you leave your vote the same). Best wishes :) (Msrasnw (talk) 20:32, 7 March 2013 (UTC))
It is ready. Secret account 03:33, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
I believe that a biology footer is appropriate for this article. She is a paleontologist and paleontology is a subfield of evolutionary biology. Increasingly, paleontologists are investigating questions that are relevant to other areas of biology.--I am One of Many (talk) 07:06, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
I appreciate your help with my first foray into adding/editing content on Wikipedia. I started ploughing thru the links you presented and I obviously need to bring myself up to speed on all the ins and outs..... I couldn't help but add to another that I see you have contributed too, "Geomagnetic reversal" even befor learning much about the (edit)process. I was actually researching another subject when I came upon the wiki articles and decided to "add" some of the things I had come across. I found the German study fascinating as it brought to mind the genetic "bottleneck" geneticists say the human race went through approx 40,000 years ago and the possible connection between the two.....
Grant Hatch (talk) 18:38, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
Thanx, I'm going to look now for anything which might corroborate my speculation......If I do find something what would you think about my adding it to the "Geomagnetic reversal" page? Grant Hatch (talk) 18:54, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
You Rock! | |
Let me be the first to congratulate you on what I am sure will be closed as a successful RfA. Good luck with the tools! Go Phightins! 17:08, 16 March 2013 (UTC) |
Dio-rite on! (I can make puns like that and it's too late to change your vote!) Thank you for the nice rock. RockMagnetist (talk) 04:10, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi RockMagnetist, I have closed your RFA as successful — you are now an administrator. Please consider the guidance at Wikipedia:New admin school, it'll keep you from ending up here. Good luck! WilliamH (talk) 17:47, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your great comments at WP:PROF talk page; looking forward to working with you further on projects and, when our interests intersect, on articles. Best, -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 05:15, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi RockMagnetist: You can use your brand-new delete button on the copyvios you've pointed out and we've confirmed at the AFDs. They're clear cases of G12 if I've ever seen them. Best, RayTalk 03:23, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for your detailed and thoughtful contributions to the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sandfall discussion. They're appreciated. Pburka (talk) 01:00, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Theory of supreme relativity. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 20:46, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
I think you have moved some of the text from the former Convergent (continued fraction) article to the wrong destination. In this version the text in the section Convergents and convergence applies to a generalised continued fraction, where the denominator an terms are not necessarily 1. Therefore I believe this section belongs in the generalized continued fraction article, not in continued fraction. A regular continued fraction (which is the focus of the continued fraction article) will always converge to a limit that is in the interval between its first two convergents. Gandalf61 (talk) 17:06, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
The WikiProject Report would like to focus on WikiProject Biophysics for a Signpost article. This is an excellent opportunity to draw attention to your efforts and attract new members to the project. Would you be willing to participate in an interview? If so, here are the questions for the interview. Just add your response below each question and feel free to skip any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering. Multiple editors will have an opportunity to respond to the interview questions, so be sure to sign your answers. If you know anyone else who would like to participate in the interview, please share this with them. Have a great day. –Mabeenot (talk) 18:12, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Kiyoo Wadati picture.jpeg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:19, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi there. Bangui Magnetic Anomaly may interest you. And a belated congratulations on joining the mop and bucket brigade! --Rosiestep (talk) 14:27, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
LOL! Another new one which might interest you, World Digital Magnetic Anomaly Map. --Rosiestep (talk) 14:45, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
Wanna try another button? I think Talk:Harrison Brown should be deleted and restored for this reason. Not sure if there's an official place for this, but it's not that urgent anyway. — HHHIPPO 21:56, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
...And funnily enough, someone created Delta function (disambiguation) again. Unless you, or someone else, can explain why Delta function should redirect to Dirac delta function, Delta function (disambiguation) that page should be titled Delta function. In fact, I went ahead and requested that move on WP:RM/TR, as well as, for the time being, made Delta function redirect to Delta function (disambiguation). Seems like we are about to go back to square one. Any other moves or redirect changes at this point should be taken through the proper channels at either WP:RM or WP:RFD since we seem to have a bit of a controversy on our hands. Would you agree? Steel1943 (talk) 06:40, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
On 18 April 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Bangui Magnetic Anomaly, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that most of the Central African Republic is covered by the Bangui Magnetic Anomaly (pictured as large red anomaly in central Africa), the result of an igneous intrusion or meteorite impact? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Bangui Magnetic Anomaly. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |
Hi. Any thoughts on this , or perhaps you could be enticed to whip up some appropriate content? :) Alanscottwalker (talk) 12:55, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
Pardon my late response on this one, but the edit count tool is misleading when it shows my edits to my archived talk pages. I don't go back and make dozens of edits in my archives. Thus far I've archived my talk pages by moving, which I see was marked as "generally no longer used" shortly after I started archiving. If confirmed as an administrator, I expect to have a much more active talk page, so I'll switch over to automated archiving. (Insert joke about modernizing librarians here?) --BDD (talk) 15:52, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
Please participate in the debate. Solomon7968 (talk) 12:07, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
If you are not busy in other projects will you like to work on the biographies of Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize in physics lauretes. Solomon7968 (talk) 17:40, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
On 16 May 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Ivan Mackerle, which you created or substantially expanded.

Hi RockMagnetist! I'm the Wikipedian In Residence at the World Digital Library, a project of the Library of Congress and UNESCO. I'm recruiting Wikipedians who are passionate about history & culture to participate in improving Wikipedia using the WDL's vast free online resources. Participants can earn our awesome WDL barnstar and help to disseminate free knowledge from over 100 libraries in 7 different languages. Multilingual editors are welcome! (But being multilingual is not a requirement.) Please sign up to participate here. Thanks for editing Wikipedia and I look forward to working with you! SarahStierch (talk) 21:32, 29 May 2013 (UTC) |
Can you please return to your GA review, and at least give a status report of where the article is, and what (if anything) is left to do? It has been a month and a half since your last comment, and a month since the nominator last posted. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:10, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi does this book belongs to List of important publications in geology. And the list also contains many books written after 1980. I am no expert that's why contacting you. Solomon7968 (talk) 18:56, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
While you are reading or browsing Wikipedia articles, please...
...keep a lookout for outlines embedded in articles.
I've run across a number of these over the years. One example is the Outline of fencing, which used to be part of the fencing article.
If you know about or spot any structured general topics lists in articles, please let me know (on my talk page).
Another thing you might find are articles that are comprised mostly of lists (without "Outline of" or "List of" being in the article's title). If you come across any of these, please report them to me on my talk page. I'd sure like to take a look at them.
Happy hunting.
I look forward to "hearing" from you (on my talk page). Sincerely, The Transhumanist 08:05, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

It might be a little out of your preferred topic area, but we'd love to have you involved. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 14:55, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi RockMagnetist, I was looking through this new article and came across reference to "degree two structure", which I understand to be a reference to spherical harmonics. What I don't understand is the implication that this has for the observation. I am hopeful that your knowledge in this area is good enough that you can explain it in a way that makes it easier for the reader understand why that matters. This is not an urgent request and I realise that you're busy right now, so only look at this when you get the chance. Cheers, Mikenorton (talk) 15:48, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
The review has now been open for three months and is stalled while awaiting your response to the latest article updates, which were completed three weeks ago in response to your comments. Please stop by as soon as possible. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 13:34, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
The Biophysics wiki-edit contest was over yesterday, and I think we're in pretty good shape, even in geographical and subject-matter diversity. Of the 16 people who signed up, 7 have made very respectable entries, 2 did a trivial amount, and the rest did nothing at all. So our task now is to decide which 6 of the 7 should win, give all of them feedback on their articles, help them fix minor issues, and see if there are any that could be worked up to Good status, have a DYK, etc.
I'll send a short message to the 7 entrants in the running, who are:
How about each of us pick a couple of entries we'd like to judge in detail, then correlate (hopefully in the next few days) to make sure all are covered by 1 or 2 judges? My preferred 2 would be Protein dynamics and Protein design. If it suits them, I'd suggest that Keilana and RockMagnetist do only one entry in detail, but go thru all the articles for style, format, policies, & possible upgrades. (Anyone else is of course also encouraged to make such comments.)
For confidentiality, I'd suggest that you send evaluative comments, and we work out the initial entry assignments, thru email - I'm at jsr@kinemage.biochem.duke.edu. We need to work out who's doing what as soon as feasible, so we can proceed asynchronously thru vacation schedules. (Thus a warning - if you don't reply with your preferences soon, you may get stuck with what others didn't want!) But we don't need to settle on the 6 winners until early Sept, so we can take into account how the entrants respond to our feedback, as well as correlating all our overall impressions. - Dcrjsr (talk) 17:27, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi RockMagnetist! I've seen your contribution to geophysics and biophysics topics. In the context of finding something about ion association with geochemical importance on Google search I was wondering if you came across such a topic in your activity.--188.26.22.131 (talk) 09:36, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
