Edit on the Web service page

Hi,

It seems to me that the reference to the term "Big Web Services" should be removed from the article. This term doesn't make sense. Wcandillon (talk) 10:59, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

If you can support your statement with verifiable evidence, we could support your changes or at least start a discussion on the Talk page. But a quick search with google on big web services gave 24.000 hits. Not an indication this term doesn't make sense. RESTful Web Services vs. “Big” Web Services: Making the Right Architectural Decision is one reference you could look into. And the O'Reily book RESTful Web Services spends chapter 10 on "The Resource-Oriented Architecture Versus Big Web Services". Also the way you have made changes, including the replication of a paragraph, and not providing a summary, gave another impression of your intentions. SchreyP (talk) 19:32, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

I will add a link to an obituary when one is published. But I received an email from his son-in-law yesterday confirming his death, and the edit to add that information to the Linvill page was made by yet a third party. So sadly it seems true.Robsavoie (talk) 17:14, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Relisting requested move of National Academy of Sciences

Actually any editor can relist a discussion, at least as far as I know. Vegaswikian (talk) 19:50, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Reverting vandalism

Hi Patrik, I noticed that you had a bit of trouble reverting the vandalism at civil engineering. You can find info about a faster way to do this at Help:Reverting. Undoing the edits one at a time is not the same thing as reverting them. Graham87 14:50, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Graham87 for some help. I initially reverted the last edit of one vandal, but than found out that more was there. I had some trouble due to intermixed edits of two vandals. Is it acceptable to revert the whole block of eight revisions of vandalism by two editors at once? -- SchreyP ^(messages) 15:02, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Yes, that's the best way to do it. Graham87 15:20, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Francis Crick and James Watson

Being a Wikipedia editor does not give you the right to vandalise the FRANCIS CRICK and JAMES WATSON articles; the late Rosalind Franklin was not a co-discoverer of the structure of DNA. Please desist!

Martin Packer, U.K. Researcher for "Francis Crick: Hunter of Life's Secrets" by Professor Robert Olby — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.24.32.42 (talk) 09:05, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

I replied here. Thanks, SchreyP ^(messages) 22:17, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

For the record ROSALIND FRANKLIN had no involvement in the "discovery of DNA" either; the structure of DNA was elucidated by JAMES WATSON and FRANCIS CRICK. No other editor will be able to prove otherwise. The suggestion that ROSALIND FRANKLIN was involved is not supported by the facts.

Credo Reference Update & Survey (your opinion requested)

Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:

• Link to Survey (should take between 5-10 minutes): http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/N8FQ6MM

It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.

At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).

Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.

If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at wikiocaasi@yahoo.com. Cheers! Ocaasi ^{t | c} 17:32, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Ben Onwukwe

(moved message from User talk:SchreyP/Toolbox)

I heard anecdotally that some blackhatted people post lies on Wikipedia for their exceptionally sad amusement. The following is on the page for Ben Onwukwe:

Ben Onwukwe Died Cambridge hospital 30 november 2012 after cancer in the brain. This is a load of tosh. Ben is alive & well and living in London, splitting his time between acting and teaching. Louis Parperis.[1] Occupation Actor

Louis is a man I know and admire through our old school website, and Ben went to the same school. This is all extremely unfortunate. I only know how to edit text, so will you please consider the following?

1. Deleting the box whose contents I have copied (except that I inserted a CR for clarity), 2. Tracing the joker who falsely announced Ben's death and responding accordingly. I know this is likely to be a wild goose chaser.

Tingye Li

Thanks for helping out on Tingye Li's wiki page. Here's obituary from the family in the following： Cedriclam (talk) 16:40, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Dr. Tingye Li, world-renowned scientist, technologist, visionary, philosopher and ski enthusiast, passed away at the age of 81 from a sudden heart attack on Thursday, December 27th, 2012 in Snowbird, Utah during an annual family Christmas ski trip. A family funeral was held at the Serenicare Funeral Home in Draper, Utah at 4:00pm on December 29th, 2012, before his cremation. Tingye’s ashes will be brought home to Boulder Colorado, where an official memorial service will be held for Tingye’s family, friends and colleagues to remember him and pay their respects to him.

A giant in the telecommunications industry, Tingye’s passing was a huge loss to mankind and the technical community he helped to establish. Without his foundational work in microwave, laser physics and fiber optic technologies, today’s Internet would not exist. Companies such as Facebook and Google etc. would not have been born.

Career and Achievements

Tingye Li was born in 1931 in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, the eldest son of a diplomat. His father was a senior officer of the Chinese Foreign Ministry (Before 1949, the Republic of China) and had served as an ambassador to several countries. At the age of 12, Tingye left China to join his father in Canada, where he lived for several years. Later he followed his father to South Africa where he obtained his bachelor’s degree from the University of Witwatersrand.

Tingye attended graduate school at Northwestern University, obtaining his PhD in Electrical Engineering. He then joined the Bell Telephone Laboratories (later AT&T Bell Laboratories) in 1957, and worked there for 41 years until his retirement from AT&T Labs in 1998. During his tenure at AT&T, Tingye not only made seminal technical contributions in the areas of antennas, microwave propagation, lasers and optical communications, but also mentored and cultivated numerous young scientists who would like to call themselves disciples of Tingye Li. Many of them have later become significant figures in their fields.

Tingye collaborated in developing crucial early understanding of laser cavities and subsequently made pioneering contributions to laser-based communication through optical fibers. In 1961, Tingye and his colleague, Gardner Fox, published their iconic paper Resonant Modes in a Maser Interferometer, which for the first time, predicted the different transverse modes in laser resonate cavities. The Fox and Li paper was fundamental to the theory and practice of lasers. For his work, he was among Nobel Laureates and other researchers highlighted during the 50th anniversary celebration in 2010 of the first successful demonstration of a laser.

From the late 1960s, Tingye engaged in pioneering research on lightwave technologies and systems, which are now ubiquitously deployed in the telecommunications industry. He was a visionary with strong perspectives on the practicality and real economic impact of cutting edge technologies. In the late 1980s, when the whole world’s attention on optical communication was still focused on a single-channel high speed solution, Tingye and his team developed the world’s first WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) system at AT&T Bell Labs. With the understanding that a technique can only be put into real use if it remains backwards-compatible with existing technology, he directed his team to study and implement the use of optical amplifiers in WDM systems, which utilized the existing embedded base to create virtual fibers by putting more channels onto a single fiber. Their experiment in 1992 at Roaring Creek, Pennsylvania turned out to be a "roaring success" as Tingye claimed in an interview, allowing 2.5 Gbit/s transmission per channel, the highest rate available at the time. The use of optical amplifiers changed the paradigm of network economics and is considered to be of revolutionary significance (though evolutionary in design) in the history of lightwave communications. In the several years after the inception of WDM technologies, transmission capacities inside optical fibers increased exponentially, making today’s Internet possible; Tingye was regarded as the father of WDM technology.

Tingye Li was active in a number of academic societies. He was the initiator of many conferences in optical communications including the Optical Fiber Communication Conference (OFC), the biggest event in the field of optical communications. Until his death, Tingye never missed a single OFC since it was started in 1975, even after his retirement from AT&T. He had often been invited to give plenary speeches by major technical conferences. Because of his outstanding contribution and spirit of service, he was elected the President of the Optical Society of America (OSA) in 1995. He was also a member of the National Academy of Engineering, the Academia Sinica (Taiwan) and the Chinese Academy of Engineering. Tingye received numerous awards including the John Tyndall Award from OSA / IEEE LEOS.

Heritage, Life and Philosophy

Tingye Li’s father Sizhao Li was a diplomat who had served the Chinese Government for many years. His mother Weipeng Xie was one of the first generation of Chinese women who received a modern higher education and was an activist in the Chinese women’s liberation movement. Tingye Li was married to his wife Edith Wu Li in 1956. His father-in-law K.C. Wu is an important figure in China’s modern history who held the positions of mayor of Shanghai, Wuhan and Chongqing before and during WWII and Governor of Taiwan.

A naturalized US citizen, Tingye Li was also very proud of his Chinese heritage and had contributed significantly to the technical exchanges between US and Chinese scientists and technologists at both sides of the Taiwan Strait. He introduced many world-class experts to lecture in China, bringing to the country the state-of-the-art technology in optical communications. His effort significantly benefited the research and applications of optical communications in China in the past 30 years. He was named honorary professor by numerous top-tier universities in China, elected as the first foreign member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and member of the Academica Scinica in Taiwan, and was granted honorary doctoral degrees by National Chiao Tung University in Taiwan and his mother school the University of Witwatersrand.

Tingye nurtured many young scientists and selflessly helped them to succeed. He had been truly respected not only because of his technical achievements but also because of the attention, encouragement, inspiration, guidance and mentorship he gave to young people. Yet he always told people “I only hire people better than I”.

Tingye believed component research must involve good system understanding. One of his famous quotations was “good physicists upgrade themselves into system engineers.” He also coined the term phantomics referring to research efforts in photonic technologies that are looking for a use which is very unclear or unreal.

Tingye had a strong passion for life and his family. He started skiing at the age of 40 and became a ski enthusiast. After retirement, Tingye spend significant amount of time skiing every winter and skied many mountains in Utah, Colorado and California. Tingye and Edith had the model marriage for many of us. Throughout their 56 years of marriage, they had always been like a new couple. At multiple public occasions, Tingye repeated to people that he already proposed to Edith for the next life. Edith made her acceptance to Tingye’s proposal public at his 80th birthday party. Tingye lived a very full life and died while doing the things he loved at his favorite mountain. He was enjoying skiing at Snowbird the day before he passed away, and swimming at the resort before the heart attack took his life.

Survival and Memorial Arrangements

Tingye is survived by his wife Edith Li and his daughters Deborah (David Cohen) and Kathryn (Daniel Dessau), and several grandchildren. A memorial service will be held in the future.

Discussion

Dear Dr. Cedric Lam, Thanks for sending this obituary. Again my condolences for your loss. I presume your were one of those IP users I contacted earlier on Tingye Li's article. I did a quick search on google and could not find this obituary yet. Will it be made public? Thanks, SchreyP ^(messages) 17:05, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi Schrey. Indeed, I was one of the IP addresses. This obituary was recently finished and approved by Tingye's wife Edith Li and his daughters. I drafter this obituary but Prof. Alan Willner from USC is in charge of publishing this obituary. I don't have further update when it will be made available.

IDEF

Hi SchreyP, thanks for your contribution to the requested move discussion. I admit your proposal is a real option. I did some checking and it seems about 10% of the reliable sources (books) indeed use the the term "IDEF method", or likewise. Still about 90% use the (solo) term (IDEF0, IDEF1X, IDEF4...). So why not follow the reliable sources? I do think changing the IDEF article title might be a good idea. I am just not convinced IDEF methods is the most obvious option. -- Mdd (talk) 02:53, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi Mdd, first of all it is just a proposal so no hard feelings if a majority decides differently. My point is to avoid the abbreviation IDEF which has other meanings too, like International Defence Industry Fair, International Digital Entertainment Festival, etc. If it helps, I do support a move back to (IDEF0, IDEF1X, IDEF4...) since this is specific enough. But for the parent article I would like to take something different than IDEF. International Defence Industry Fair has the same right to use this abbreviation. Both meanings are applicable only in a certain context. In broad military perspective both meanings could even be applicable. I have no specific preference to IDEF methods. It was the most close I could find based on reliable references. As said in the talk page Integrated Definition was initially my option, but I could not find enough supporting references. So I'm open to other suggestions for the parent article title. I hope this helps? Thanks, SchreyP ^(messages) 19:48, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Wikidata and Interwiki links

Wikidata has been deployed to the English Wikipedia. Wikidata manages interwiki links on a separate project on pages such as this.

Further information: m:Wikidata/Deployment Questions and https://blog.wikimedia.de/?p=13892.

All interwiki bots that run on the English Wikipedia have now stopped adding interwiki links.

Removal of interwiki links on a page linked to a wikidata item that contains the links is NOT vandalism. Please use this script which can identify if the links are found on wikidata.

If you have any questions regarding wikidata please use the talk page Wikipedia talk:Wikidata. ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 22:29, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

I am specifically sending this to you due to your revert here. Although the IP removed a category (which it shouldn't have) the removal of interwiki links is fine and is not vandalism. ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 22:29, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi Addshore, thanks for the Wikidata links. I just started to investigate this new WP service.

On the revert I think I have used the proper answer. I have not called it vandalism as you suggest, not in the edit summary (I used regular "rollback" with TW and called it "Not motivated removal") and not in the user warning (I used the template:uw-delete1). But the combination of no edit summary and deleting besides the interwiki links also the category, made my decide to do above actions.

If you still think I made a mistake, let me please know on what grounds. Thanks, SchreyP ^(messages) 21:22, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Its a bit difficult to say if you made a mistake or not as technically you could rollback as the IP made a mistake removing the category. The question therefore would be did the user only intend to remove the wikilinks and accidently select a category as well or did they just intend to delete part of the article. The only reason I sent this message was to ensure that you were aware of Wikidata :) ·Add§hore· ^{Talk To Me!} 22:41, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Priestley Medal

SchreyP, the change I made to the Priestley Medal page this morning was based on news published by the American Chemical Society last week. Rardin (talk) 12:10, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi Rardin, thanks for this URL to support your change. I did a small research and missed this one. Please provide directly reliable sources to updates you do in the future. For reference you can see how I did in Priestley Medal. Thanks, SchreyP ^(messages) 12:30, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Obviously I'm new at this. :) Just out of curiosity, why are there no references for any of the previous winners? It looks a bit odd to have a reference for Steve, but none of the others. I was simply attempting to use the format used for the earlier entries. I thought maybe there was a reference on the page to an ACS page that lists all winners over the years, but, if it exists, I missed it. Rardin (talk) 12:48, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi Rardin, in case the prime award source Priestley Medal is not mentioning the last recipient, it is best to use a separate reference to prove that statement. Regards, SchreyP ^(messages) 18:28, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Air brake (aircraft)

Since when is removing a dead link vandalism? Think before blindly reverting, I explained the edit very clearly and by simply clicking on the link you can very clearly see it goes to a "This photo has been removed" page. The section was removed because the dead link was the only thing in it. 68.224.198.43 (talk) 18:06, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

Sorry for the misunderstanding, but you deleted more than intended to. See more details on your talk page. Regards, SchreyP ^(messages) 20:29, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for a friendly welcome.

I actually have been existed in Indonesian Wikipedia for 5 years, enriching engineering and technology section there. I put my eyes on engineering and technology-related articles here in hope that I can find updates about the latest information. That's why I could find an error in list of engineering branches.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Computer science portal

A tag has been placed on Category:Computer science portal requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz ^{Read!
