Status bias moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Status bias, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Why do Linux file managers and other applications sort list items with numbers in reverse?

So while I was answering your question, another editor removed it as off-topic. I agree about that, but I'd still like to answer. Here's your question again, and my reply to it! Digital Brains (talk) 13:37, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

Windows Explorer and other applications such as task managers sort files/items like this:

• ▼ = First: Larger, Newer, A-Z, higher CPU usage, higher memory usage.
• ▲ = First: Smaller, Older, Z-A, lower CPU/memory usage.

Linux file managers actually do it in reverse, except for A-Z:

• ▼ = First: Smaller, Older, A-Z, lower values first.
• ▲ = First: Larger, Newer, Z-A, higher values first.

It seems intuitive that a triangle pointing downwards (larger edge on top) means that items with larger values and more recent items come first. But Linux applications often apply reverse logic to this.

Is this intentional? What is the logic behind it? --Chanc20190325 (talk) 13:01, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

You know, that's intriguing! It's not really on-topic for here, though, but because of my fascination I can't help but respond. I've never noticed this difference, but to me the Linux way is the intuitive one. I do not view the triangle as something where, for ▼, it starts large at the top and ends small at the bottom. Rather, I view is as a compact downwards arrow, meaning the sorting is from top to bottom. And the natural alphabetic sort is from A-Z, so if you sort alphabetically from top to bottom, A is at the top and Z at the bottom. Conversely, ▲ means you sort from bottom to top in the direction of the arrow, i.e. A at the bottom and Z at the top. So what's one person's intuitive can be another person's counter-intuitive! I don't know if my arrow-explanation is the reason, you'd have to ask the people who decided it should be like this, but it is a possible explanation. The Talk page for an article is to discuss improvements to the article, though, not a general area for questions. Digital Brains (talk) 13:37, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

@Digital Brains: I have just checked that for file names, ▼ means A→Z in Linux and Windows, which makes more sense to me. But for file sizes and dates, ▼ means large to small on Windows but ▼ means small to large on Linux. For CPU usage, ▼ means higher CPU usage first. So most of them have been corrected. Maybe there has been an update? But they should also make size ▼ large first and ▲ small first. --Chanc20190325 (talk) 15:25, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

For me, a natural sort order of file sizes is from small files to large files, so that seems intuitive to me. Perhaps the CPU usage is the odd one out (larger first) because people will generally be interested in the processes that occupy most of it, so the natural sort order puts them first. I don't really understand the reasoning behind the meaning in Windows; it seems inconsistent to me. Since the use of the indicator more in general is inconsistent, I usually just look at the order and if it's in reverse from my intention, I switch the order, rather than looking at the indicator. Digital Brains (talk) 09:06, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

@Digital Brains: For me, ▼ is more intuitive for large to small and ▲ small to large, because the long edge of ▼ is at the top and ▲ at the bottom. I have also forgot to mention that Linux treats ▲ as newer files first while Windows treats ▼ as newer files first (creation date, last modified, last accessed file attributes). But “I usually just look at the order and if it's in reverse from my intention, I switch the order, rather than looking at the indicator.” is a good point. For me, the indicator is just a bit quicker than looking at the data order. --Chanc20190325 (talk) 11:37, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

If you asked me what the natural sort order for dates was, I would sort them from old to new, so that seems to make sense. The only odd one out if you interpret it as "▼: natural sort order, first at top" and "▲: natural sort order, first at bottom" that I see is CPU usage, but this is equally well explained by noting that people are generally interested in the process using the most. So it can certainly be interpreted as natural to put the large users first: you treat them semantically, rather than simply as numerical. But I'm just second-guessing the motives of the designers. This can be helpful though, since it's easier to remember something if you have a story explaining it, even if that story is wrong :-). PS: What GUI tool is sorting CPU usage like that for you on Linux? I only use terminal tools to inspect processes. Digital Brains (talk) 11:48, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

@Digital Brains: I also use terminal tools often, but for GUI, I use GNOME and KDE system monitor. GNOME system monitor was pre-installed. –Chanc20190325 (talk) 13:42, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Musical aging

The article Musical aging has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

I cannot find evidence that this term is used in this way.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Ethics of circumcision are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines, not for general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. Alexbrn (talk) 14:36, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Talk:Murder of pregnant women. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Acroterion (talk) 16:36, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

@Acroterion: Hello, there. Chris Watts is a known case that went viral on YouTube, on a channel called Derek Van Schaik. Additionally, you have confused the talk page with the actual article. What I wrote was on the talk page. Sorry for making you that paranoid. --Chanc20190325 (talk) 23:55, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

No, I haven't confused anything. You may not post unsourced defamatory information on any page on Wikipedia. You will need multiple reliable sources in major independent media if you're going to make allegations of criminal activity against any living person, even by insunuation. If you do anything like that again, you'll be blocked. Acroterion (talk) 00:02, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

@Acroterion: That was not an allegation, but a fact. He does already have his own article, see Chris Watts (murderer). It also includes the sources. --Chanc20190325 (talk) 00:09, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

And our article on Chris Watts, who hasn't killed anyone, has nothing at all to do with that. You need to be extremely careful - casually linking a name to a crime is not acceptable, nor is casually mentioning names on talkpages without accurate sourcing and links. And no, he doesn't have an article, just a redirect, as is appropriate. Acroterion (talk) 00:13, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

@Acroterion: I should have checked the article name, you're right. While typing in [[Chris Watts]], I didn't have the thought that the article could be about an unrelated person. But I fortunately have not harmed the reputation of this innocent Chris Watts, because at the top of that article, there is:

Not to be confused with Chris Watts (murderer).

, or something similar, and because of the high media relevance of the evil Chris Watts. But yes, I should indeed have paid attention, because death is not a joke. Totally agreed. --Chanc20190325 (talk) 00:20, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, that clears it up. Acroterion (talk) 00:39, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
