Your GA nomination of Cyclotron

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Cyclotron you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of ScientistBuilder -- ScientistBuilder (talk) 21:20, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

I hope the suggestions for Good Article for criteria helped.

Other than that, I think its meets the criteria. ScientistBuilder (talk) 17:30, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

DYK for Courant–Snyder parameters

On 11 February 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Courant–Snyder parameters, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that although the Courant–Snyder parameters in accelerator physics are often referred to as "Twiss parameters", Richard Q. Twiss had no idea how his name came to be associated with them? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Courant Snyder parameters. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Courant–Snyder parameters), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

NPF article check-in

Hi PianoDan. I thought I'd drop by and make sure you saw that I responded to your questions on Talk:National Park Foundation. Have a good one! Annie at NPF (talk) 20:11, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you for all your assistance. Sorry for tagging you. I could think of no other way to get attention to requests made weeks ago. I will use {{edit semi-protected}} as you indicated, but I never used it before and will probably mess up the first few times. 65.88.88.45 (talk) 20:38, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

No worries! The good news about using the template is that will add the article to a list, which is checked regularly by various editors. If you want to look at the list and verify that yours has been added, (it'll take a little while after you apply the template) it's User:AnomieBOT/SPERTable PianoDan (talk) 20:43, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

Also, I would like to suggest that List of centenarians (scientists and mathematicians) be renamed to List of centenarians (engineers, mathematicians, and scientists). Seems like an appropriate place to add "engineers". What do you think? How to go about it? Thanks. 65.88.88.45 (talk) 20:52, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

There's a process for that: WP:RM. It's also worth noting that if you create a named account and then make a certain number of edits, you'll be able to edit semi-protected pages yourself. PianoDan (talk) 21:14, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

Template problem

Both User:PianoDan/Infobox particle accelerator and User:PianoDan/Infobox particle accelerator/doc are showing up in Category:Pages with malformed coordinate tags, and I can't figure out what the problem is. I thought it might be that, in your example infobox for the Large Hadron Collider at the bottom of the doc, you omitted the N and E parameters after the latitude and longitude; but adding them doesn't appear to fix the problem (and the coordinates still don't appear in the displayed infobox, which suggests that the trouble is in the coding of the template itself). Being useless when it comes to template coding, I'm unable to spot the error, but this is probably something that you'll want to fix before taking the infobox live. Deor (talk) 15:08, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

This is my first template too, so I appreciate the heads up! For now, I'll just comment them out, since I'm going to be soliciting feedback from more experienced templateers. Thanks~ PianoDan (talk) 15:41, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

A minor point: A number of infoboxes are set up to automatically specify the coordinates' "type" (city, landmark, waterbody, or whatever), so that it doesn't need to be in the {{coord}} templates that users add in particular instances. (For a particle accelerator, it would presumably be "type=landmark".) I don't know how to do this either, but it might be something that you could bring up in discussions with "experienced templateers". Deor (talk) 16:25, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Typo

"Eddings" here. XOR'easter (talk) 16:54, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks! PianoDan (talk) 18:29, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

I appreciated the bit of comic relief in a very, very long deletion process. :-)

On an unrelated note, I recall you did some improvements on the Lagrangian mechanics page a few months ago. Have you taken a look at Noether's theorem? It seems to have big blocks of material from the days before citations were invented — you know the stuff: written by a physicist or at least a grad student in 2004, probably technically correct, not necessarily organized. XOR'easter (talk) 00:54, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Oof. Not my area of expertise, but you aren't kidding that it needs work. My available time comes and goes, and is likely to be in a "goes" phase for a bit, but I'll bear it in mind. PianoDan (talk) 07:25, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm spread amazingly thin myself, and I'm afraid that's only going to get worse. There keeps being one Featured Article Review after another where it seems like I'm one of the few people who have relevant expertise... and with the semester starting up again soon, I can't imagine I'll have more time and energy for this place.

Schenker talk page

I'm going through the Schenker talk page out of morbid curiosity (having just made an edit and seen that it's now partly restricted), and oh my goodness — thanks for all that you've done there! I'm also glad to see that you helped bring Show Boat into "good article" status. :-)

(FYI, the edit I made was adding a quotation from Philip Ewell's article demonstrating that he may not have been making the claim that McWhorter assumed he was making. Also adding complete page range for the Agawu quotation, since it drives me nuts when I don't have those and I need to place an ILL request to get something.) AskohlerOpus111 (talk) 03:15, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

@AskohlerOpus111 - thanks for the positive comments. It's an ongoing struggle to try and maintain any sort of reasonable tone on those pages, rather than false equivalence or worse. PianoDan (talk) 04:21, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Electric field intensity issue

Discussion topic — If electric field intensity diserve a seperate topic from electric field

In my point of view it certainly deserve; it is because of confusion between electric field an electric field intensity,most people believe both are same but they are totally different . And to break this believe we have to make a seperate section for electric field intensity. AryanpateI (talk) 18:15, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

This is probably better discussed on the talk page for Electric field rather than on my personal page. That said while "electric field intensity" is indeed a different quantity from field strength, the relationship between the two is trivial: Field = Intensity / unit charge. A single sentence defining the relationship (in proper English, with a citation to a valid source) is all that's required, not an entire subsection.

Hey @PianoDan, i saw you rejected my edit request when it's backed by a reliable source. Please check that source thoroughly and mention that whole information in Occupation section of that article. 223.189.201.228 (talk) 17:19, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Modified "primorial" method, called   nabla-deltorial

A modification of the "primorial" method was created, called nabla-deltorial, symbolically designated as ∇Δ(pₙ), and although the initial measurements of the "primorial" were ambitiously aimed at breaking (among other things) also cipher codes, it is still far from that. However, factoring large numbers with divisors of "intermediate" size, i.e. not too high - is supposed to go "surprisingly" smoothly.

The "paper" is available here: https://www.1universe.gpe.pl/prime/deltorial.html

I will soon start writing an entry about it on Wikipedia, its name will be nabla-deltorial ∇Δ      - I recommend it to your attention, and greetings to the titans of work...

"Earth's ambipolar electric field"

A request about the Wikipedia Page on Cyclotrons.

Dear Sir,

I think the other user is right. Actually along with the notable examples,there should be mentioned about Superconducting cyclotrons as there are only 8 or 9 of them in the entire world.

So I request you to not reverse the edit.Instead we should add the other 7 or 8 of the superconducting cyclotrons. This would yield valuable information to the page. Thank you. 2409:4060:2E16:2901:0:0:134B:D708 (talk) 18:55, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

The point of the list is NOT to be a comprehensive list of all cyclotrons or all superconducting cyclotrons. The point is to list cyclotrons with some particular superlative or historical importance. The place to have this conversation is not on my talk page, but on the talk page for the article. I'm going to revert your edit and start a discussion there. Please don't re-add the information until a consensus is reached on the article talk page. PianoDan (talk) 19:02, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
