Hi, Thorseth@fys.ku.dk, and Welcome to Wikipedia. Unfortunately, using your e-mail address as your username is not a good idea. Wikipedia content is extensively copied and the site itself is one of the most visited sites in the world. Any edit you make on Wikipedia will have your username attached to it, and using your email address will make you a tempting target for spammers. We recommend that you change your username at Wikipedia:Changing username in order to prevent abuse, or simply create a new account.

Old friend
Calling the previous edit this username is not acceptable is perhaps a bit hard. Any spam you'll get as a result of it is really just your own problem. I would settle for your username is hardly recommendable.
All the best,

LED Christmas lights

edit

I have deleted this article because it was a cut and paste of a section from another Wikipedia article but the source was unattributed which is a violation of GFDL. It is also a fork which should probably be discussed on the main article talk page first, particularly as there is very little to say about the specific application of LED at Christmas. All the best for 2009, Nancy talk 15:00, 3 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Ok, I guess I was a bit quick there. Ill be discussing the change with the other LED editors and see what happens... --Thorseth (talk) 15:29, 3 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Mobile phone flashing labels

edit
 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Mobile phone flashing labels, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

non-notable cell phone accessory

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

WP:Astronomy importance ratings

edit

Looks like someone (RJHall) is on a crusade here. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 19:50, 7 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Well it doesn't look that bad, I guess light pollution was a mistake --Thorseth (talk) 10:42, 8 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
At first I though he had a very dim view to amateur astronomy and a very exclusive view for professional astronomy (granted, there's considerable overlap in opinions of importance, still), but turns out he wasn't steadfastly for his WP:Astro importance rating wording changes after all, so okay, never mind. The wording is better now. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 23:16, 9 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Woops

edit

Woops, must have been looking at a different article. I'm still not sure whether its required though, {{current}} says "As an advisory to editors, the template may optionally be used in those occasions that many editors (perhaps a hundred or more) edit an article on the same day, for example, in the case of natural disasters, the death of celebrities, or other breaking news". I don't really think this is the case even if it is an ongoing event. Smartse (talk) 00:39, 15 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Update the High Line map?

edit

Hi there! I notice you've contributed File:West_side_line.png through Phase 1. The map on OpenStreetMap.org has been updated to indicate that Phase 2 is now open - any chance you could update the static copy here, too? Thanks! -Etoile ✩ (talk) 06:57, 17 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Danish modern

edit

Just noticed that you proposed combining this article with Danish design. I can understand why as the Danish modern article was indeed very brief at the time but I think it could usefully expanded in its own right. After all, there is much that could be added on the history of furniture design in the 1950s and 1960s, and indeed on the continued popularity of many of the items. I have starded to embark on this track myself. The next time I am in Denmark, I will try to obtain relevant literature from the library. - Ipigott (talk) 09:52, 25 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Alright, no problem. You could start by adding images, there seem to be allot of them under the linked designer names. --Thorseth (talk) 10:40, 25 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
OK. Thanks for beating me to it! Now working on contributions of the major players. - Ipigott (talk) 11:08, 25 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

LED Graph

Hello Thorseth

I'm sketching out an updated graph of $/klm and Lumens/Package. Can you share with me where you got your data for the graph you made?

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Light-emitting diode, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Focus (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi Thorseth, regarding [1], the Cite journal template does not support the keywords parameter. If there's no equivalent, it should either be removed or implemented. --Chealer (talk) 23:48, 9 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Important notice: post-1992 American politics

edit

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 post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people. 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.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. 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.

Intersectionality

edit

Greetings. The "Intersectionality" chapter by HoSang cited in the lead is a WP:SECONDARY/WP:TERTIARY source and discusses boththe DeGraffenreid case and Crenshaw's analysis of it. There is no need to cite the court ruling itself, which is a WP:PRIMARY source and should be used with caution. Thank you. --Sangdeboeuf (talk) 11:59, 4 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello, I can understand you point, but I don't understand 1) why you keep reintroducing the dead links to the case, that is currently mentioned in two places in the text. Clearly, this case is of importance here, and 2) the discussion of the case is made quite factual. It seems to me that talking in a factual manner about a case that is then used to argue for a specific theoretical view point would need to have to have some information about that subject - not seen from that specific theoretical view point. And I have to say, it seems to me that the HoSang essay is made from the same theoretical stand point as the one it is describing. Thorseth (talk) 21:36, 8 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
WP:REDLINKS are valid if the subject could have an article written about it someday. The HoSang chapter is factual regarding the court case and Crenshaw's analysis of it. --Sangdeboeuf (talk) 08:43, 10 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
