IAHE Update
Hello 75.108.94.227.
While I have been focused on my presidential campaign, I did receive a formal endorsement for president from T. Nejat Veziroglu, as well as a copy of his 93-page resume, most of which are publications, that can be accessed with http://www.telesio-galilei.com/tg/images/stories/photos/award2008/turhan_veziroglu_publication.pdf. Nejat's email address is [email protected].
When you mentioned many people have proposed new energy options, it is important to note that the hydrogen energy option I am advocating is also being advocated by thousands of scientists and engineers like Nejat.
Also, I recall you wanted to know if I am spending most my time with the Phoenix Project Foundation. Actually, all of my income comes from my CEO position from my Mesa Wind LLC project company, which was the original developer of the 120 megawatt San Juan Mesa Wind project in eastern New Mexico. I no longer have any active duties at Mesa Wind, except for cashing the checks they will be sending as per our contract as long as the project is in commercial operation. I have also established the Science News Network (ScienceNewsNetwork.US) which archives a number of video policy discussions I have produced, including my Phoenix Project video that is based on my book.
While my presidential Wikipedia page indicates I am an energy "consultant" I have never worked as an "consultant" in my career. Prior to my work with Mesa Wind, I was the Chairman and CEO of Stirling Energy Systems (SES), which I established after I had acquired the rights to the solar Dish Stirling system developed by McDonnell Douglas in Hunnington Beach, California, which developed the point-focus concentrator and Kockums, a major Swedish defense contractor that modified the solarized Stirling cycle (i.e., external combustion) engines that were developed for Sweden's non-nuclear attack submarines.
The system set a new world's efficiency record of 30% for converting solar energy into three-phase grid-quality electricity when the system was first placed "on sun" in the 1980's, and that record may still remain unbroken. While SES was awarded a contract from Sandia National Laboratories that resulted in a $100 million pilot plant, SES was never able to raise the serious money needed to commercialize the technology, which was very similar to an automobile from a manufacturing perspective. When a automobile manufacturer changes a major design, it typically will cost up to $2 billion.
My campaign is making daily progress and I am working to have some major news coverage prior to the first scheduled debates on October 13th. Please let me know if I can assist with Nejat's Wikipedia article.Harry W Braun III (talk) 02:46, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
- Hello Harry, glad things are going well. First, a syntax note:
[[this link|http://www.telesio-galilei.com/tg/images/stories/photos/award2008/turhan_veziroglu_publication.pdf]]
- Should be:
[http://www.telesio-galilei.com/tg/images/stories/photos/award2008/turhan_veziroglu_publication.pdf this link]
- Which looks like:
- External links, aka hyperlinks, that have HTTP or HTTPS at the front, use singular-surrounding-brackets , and space as the separator. Hyperlink first, SPC, human-visible-text 2nd. Make sense? Compare with this wikilink aka internal link:
[[USPE, 2016 |kittens]]
- Which looks like:
- kittens
- Internal wikilinks use double-brackets and the pipe-separator, with article-name-1st and visible-text-2nd. Make sense? Takes a bit of practice, but soon you'll be a pro at this wiki-markup-syntax. 75.108.94.227 (talk) 21:41, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
- Q#2: What do you suggest, as a shorthand that is more exacting than "energy consultant"? Would it be preferable to say "energy analyst/entrepreneur" for instance? I picked that 'energy consultant' wording as a terse compromise-choice, based on the three sources linked to. For your convenience, those 3 sources were:
- ~2010, "...U.S. energy consultant..." , in a quotation of Lester Brown's book, which was in turn being referenced in *this* book by Andrew Heintzman & Evan Solomon, page "PT223", you may need to scroll a bit because on my PC at least, the yellow-highlight appears roughly two paragraphs away from where "Braun" is actually being used
- 2002, "...chairman of Phoenix-based Sustainable Partners, a holding company exploring several renewable power alternatives...", 2002 newspaper, http://www.upi.com/Science_News/2002/04/03/Hydrogen-based-system-doable-but-not-easy/54301017866439/
- 1983, "...a Phoenix researcher who said he believes it is possible to mass produce hydrogen with electrolysis by using solar power... has drawn up a plan and is trying to persuade the DoD to start a hydrogen-manufacturing project because of it's potential as aircraft fuel...", 1983 newspaper, https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=932&dat=19830110&id=FKcNAAAAIBAJ&sjid=xFUDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4978,742176&hl=en
- ~2010, "...U.S. energy consultant..." , in a quotation of
- These are just the three sources that popped up, when I was trying to fix the 'perennial' thing (which is not supported by the WP:SOURCES and ought not have been put in, but wikipedia ain't perfect and allowing that mistakes will happen, but making them easy to fix as time goes by, is all part of the process). Anyways, in trying to fix the mistake, I appear to have also made a lesser mistake myself. :-) Because of space constraints in the table-layout being used on that page, whatever "job title" we give you should be reasonably short, a few words at most. There's not room to give a long resume-listing of all the positions you've held, and all the projects you've worked on. I picked energy consultant, because it seemed fairly close to the truth: you are an energy researcher, who is interested in commercializing various of your designs (stirling gensets and mesa wind and with sufficient capital the seamount windships). You've never made the transition to "professional politician" because for the most part, your political campaigns are an outgrowth of your dual interests in doing research, and in seeing that research put into practice on-the-ground, so to speak. You also have continued publication, including your 2008 paper about photobiology with double-digit-cites, which is vaguely related to your political goals, but only tangentially: it is a research project, part of your overall goals, just like your presidential campaigns are part of your overall goals. Anyways, I'm happy to update from "energy consultant" to something more incisive, but without going on for several sentences, I was at a loss what to say... so when I found the source that said "energy consultant" I must admit I grabbed it with both hands as a nice two-word summarization. :-) As with any two-word summarization of decades of work, it leaves a lot to be desired, so if you can come up with a better summarization, of two or three or four words preferably, I'll be happy to try and figure out a better phrasing with you. 75.108.94.227 (talk) 21:41, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
Q#3, "endorsement for president from T. Nejat Veziroglu" Congratulations, that is cool. :-) If some newspaper/teevee/radio station picks up on the endorsement, and prints a mention of it ("Veziroglu endorses Braun" is enough ... they don't have to go into great detail), please let me know and I'll add you a section on the appropriate wikipedia page. 75.108.94.227 (talk) 21:41, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
Q#4. "When you mentioned many people have proposed new energy options, it is important to note that the hydrogen energy option I am advocating is also being advocated by thousands of scientists and engineers like Nejat." Yes, absolutely, and I've read some of those other advocates, thanks to my own interest in solar thermal. So I knew that you were talking sensible science, and not proposing any kind of radical re-invention of physics. However, the reason I brought it up, was because wikipedia gets many proposals of both types, and for obvious reasons, we prefer sensible scientists talking about published work, and not radical cutting edge proposals. :-)
chitchat about wikipedia's coverage of propulsion systems, and which ones are mainstream, alt-mainstream, questionable, exotic prototype, and elided as
not-yet-proven-to-be-sensible |
---|
If wikipedia had existed back in 1983, when you were first making your pitch to the DoD for use of mass-produced hydrogen for jet engines, you probably would not have gotten a wikipedia article. :-) For one thing, at the time in 1983, you had not yet gotten enough press-coverage for your political campaigns, and published enough cited papers for your research work. But more pragmatically, back in 1983, using hydrogen as a fuel-source was very cutting edge. Sure, the Space Shuttle was powered by liquid hydrogen... but in 1983 the shuttle was pretty much the *definition* of cutting edge. Thirty years later, or so, there is a wikipedia BLP-article on CNG, 0.4k hydrogen. Now, these are actually-in-use vehicles; there were an additional 9127k E85-capable vehicles (which used regular gas instead of E85 due to choice or inconvenience or cost or distance), and an additional 2060k battery-fossil-hybrid vehicles, on the road. Biodiesel was also an important factor, especially for medium-duty and heavy-duty vehicles. The numbers for 2014 are significantly higher, for instance plug-in vehicles are in the hundreds of thousands now... but are still below 1% of vehicles on the road. Outside the vehicle-use-category, there is a much broader pattern, of course; electricity generation is a completely different market, and military/aerospace vehicle propulsion is very unlike passenger cars/trucks/motorbikes, for example. But just looking at the retail-consumer-passenger-highway-vehicle-technologies, there are a lot of interesting things that have been attempted:
This is definitely an extremely long tail situation, where there is an uber-dominant technology at the top end of the automobile-infrastructure (87-octane gasoline), followed by an exponentially-decreasing number of smaller niche-players. And yet, as fast as the decrease is, once you get close to the bottom, there is a dramatic flattening of the curve, and you see things like a surprising number of purely-electric-vehicles (e.g. 13% of new-car sales in Norway during 2014... which is only 40k actual vehicles... but still, a shockingly large number). A very strange market, with a lot of multinationals and a lot of government regulators all exerting their considerable power to warp the outcome. Anyways, fortunately-or-unfortunately, I have to caution you to be stoic about the way wikipedians will treat your ideas. Most wikipedians, 95%+ of them, are simply not interested in energy technologies, and don't have the background. More importantly, most of the WP:SOURCES , which is to say 99%+ of what you find in mainstream newspapers/textbooks/television/etc, will treat hydrogen-vehicles as either a research-curiosity, or as not-even-worth-mentioning. Similarly, fossil-fuel-vehicles, and fossil-fuels-powered-economic-systems generally, will be treated as the normal, the typical, the expected... and in many cases, even treated as the-way-things-ought-to-be.
Thus, wikipedia will primarily be all about the status quo. Wikipedia is a trailing indicator; it documents the history, of a success, after that success was already implemented, accomplished, reported about in newspapers, and (usually) analyzed in textbooks or history books or academia. At the end of the day, in other words, wikipedia can only reflect what the surrounding society looks like; wikipedia is not an agent of change, is just a mirror of our flawed reality, slightly behind the curve even... wikipedia is a mirror of 2011-to-2014 sources, at present, and by 2020, with any luck wikipedia will have been upgraded to be a mirror of the 2018-to-2019 sources... progress, right? :-) |
Q#5. "you wanted to know if I am spending most my time with the Phoenix Project Foundation." That is close, but my actual question is this: what is your official 'personal' website, with the most additional information about you, and your work? Specifically, is it okay to put this stuff:
[http://phoenixprojectfoundation.us/News.html Official website]
Which looks like:
onto the bottom of the
further discussion, of other websites you run, that I know about
|
---|
Here are the options that I am aware of:
You may also have other websites, that I do not happen to be aware of, such as a facebook page, or a google plus page, or something like that. If you do, and think they are a better pick for your Official Website, please let me know. The overall question is related to WP:NOTPROMOTION, wikipedia just lists *one* main website, not all the websites associated with the topic of the wikipedia-article. Ideally, the website should also cover your history, your publications, that sort of thing. I *think* that the link I am proposing,[2] covers the details about yourself and your work and your philosophy, but I'm checking with you to make sure I'm guessing correctly.
I do fully realize that, at the moment, most of your efforts are devoted to Braun'16 work, and most of your cashflow is from the Mesa Wind royalties, but my question is not necessarily about what page you would most like people to visit, my question is about ... what will your "main" website be, when 2017 and 2018 roll around? I'm guessing that you will still be updating http://phoenixprojectfoundation.us (although it does not yet refer to http://braunforpresident.us , I assume that is because you only officially launched this month). There is a link on the top of phoenixprojectfoundation.us called 'Harry Braun' which points to http://phoenixprojectfoundation.us/News.html , and gives a short bio: "Harry Braun, Chairman & Senior Scientist. Harry W. Braun III has been working as an energy and environmental analyst...." And that is the sort of thing, that is pretty usual for an "Official Website" link from the wikipedia-article. In your case, though, because you are active in so many areas, there are quite a few choices available! So I figured I should ask first, before I was WP:ELOFFICIAL external link, when you have a moment.

Q#6, you mentioned this tidbit from your history, I have added the wikilinks to our existing articles on those topics:
...Chairman and CEO of
Dish Stirling system developed by McDonnell Douglas in Huntington Beach, California, which developed thethree-phase grid-quality electricity when the system was first placed "on sun" in the 1980's, and that record may still remain unbroken.
And indeed, it looks like the 30% record still stands... says Solar_thermal_energy#Dish_designs anyways... which is incidentally, how I got interested in solar-thermal, the impressively-high figures for energy-conversion efficiency, though I was more interested in aerospace-applications than in landlubber-applications.
chitchat about the price of solar thermal, versus other technologies, as the key limiting factor
|
---|
Now to be fair, there are some multi-junction PV technologies (exorbitantly expensive and intended primarily for satellite use where the cost-per-ounce is the overriding concern) which achieve upwards of 40% in the laboratory, but typical PV performance is still merely 15% or 20% nowadays, just like twenty years ago. The fundamental problem with solar-thermal is the price, see Cost_of_electricity_by_source#United_States which puts roughly the following nominal unit-cost-per-joule-produced type comparative numbers on the various generation-technologies for electric-grid-applications, my own glomming-together-pseudo-averaging-and-normalizing-of-the-dataset:
Thus, when the location is ideal for geothermal/hydrodams/windfarms, those are the "best" options, economically speaking. Combined cycle natural gas, is the cost-leader in fossil fuels nowadays. Due to regulations and the vast infrastructure required, nuclear power and coal-fired powerplants are as expensive as biomass, nowadays, according to the NREL and EIA, at least. SolarPV and fossil-fuel-extracted-fuelcells are roughly double the cost-per-joule of wind/hydro/geothermal/NGCC, which is why you don't see them on the newscasts.
Despite the high theoretical efficiency, nobody has solved the cost issues with solar thermal for landlubbers, nor the Hurricane FactorTM which makes offshore windfarms so expensive. Both of those technologies are feasible, and known to work, but they are three times the cost of wind/hydro/geothermal/NGCC, and thus are purely research-fodder, at present. OTEC papers in the early days.)

Now, that is mostly chitchat about the future. Wikipedia is more about history, than about the future. Can you give me some
Q#7. "Please let me know if I can assist with Nejat's Wikipedia article." Yes, you can check it for bugs. Please see the initial effort here --
- Good thing I put forth apologies in advance. Spelled his name wrong! Sigh. Fixed now though. 75.108.94.227 (talk) 15:47, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
Draft:Ron Schnell has a new comment
Your submission at Articles for creation: Ron Schnell has been accepted
- Thanks User:LaMona, appreciated. 75.108.94.227 (talk) 23:09, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
- Hey 75108. Good news on the AfC. Thanks for doing this. Btw, one of the attendees of the conference last week was able to find an online link to the UPI story (like, in a few minutes, despite my searching for years). It can be found at http://www.upi.com/Archives/1981/11/01/14-year-old-is-computer-whiz/3943373438800/. Not sure what to do about changes like this. Do I need to do a COI request like I did with Dunnet? Do you want to correct your own reference to add this? Ron Schnell 20:24, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
- Welcome.... but, ahem, you still owe me an airplane. ;-) A digipic of one, that is. Or maybe a pic taken from one whilst in flight? Next time you are flying with passenger(s) bring along a digicam, and get some pics, if you feel like it. Wikipedia always needs high-quality libre pics for one thing or another. Of course "not used in an article" is grounds for deletion, and so is "picture aesthetics insufficient" ... plus the byzantine wiki-commons-culture makes the enWiki look like a picnic, so maybe you should just upload your pics with a libre wikipedia-compatible-license to some new gallery-subfolder of your own homepage, in case your fine art is rejected by the natives. ;-)
- As for the ref-question, the UPI cite is already in the article, like this:
- Lee Comegys, United Press International (October 18, 1981). "A computer genius at 14". The Record. p. E-10.
- Which now needs to be updated like this:
- Lee Comegys, United Press International (October 18, 1981). "A computer genius at 14". The Record. p. E-10.
- However it would be best, if we updated it after performing WP:404#Web_archive_servicespre-emptive archival of the contents. More on that in a moment.
- And yes, now that the article is mainspaced, you directly editing the article is verboten, except to revert blatant vandalism (like page-blanking), correct bone-headed typos, and remove obvious BLP violations (unsourced "Ron never eats anything but cheese" does not count... even a slap in the face like "Ron uses vi for all his editing needs" must be left intact... just things that are junior-high slurs on sexuality and/or allegations of illegal behavior are stuff you should do yourself... and really, if you pop into the IRC channel or the WP:BLPNis the 'official' place and prolly the best-practices place to start).
- So, just like with Dunnet, the procedure is to figure out the exact change you wish to make, write up an edit-request on Talk:Ron_Schnell, and then wait three days whilst it is ignored, before you seek help from a disinterested editor. Since User:LaMona was helpful to us at AfC, maybe she'll be willing to work with you on getting this offline ref converted to an online ref. Her userpage suggests she's a big fan of proper referencing. :-) If she's busy, follow the practical-practices.
- But first, o'course, do the pre-emptive archiving thing, in case the UPI website is reorganized, or the company bought out, or something like that. Specifically, WP:Using_WebCite#Website_form. There are some other web archiving services but some of them are blacklisted by abusefilter bots, for one reason or another (usually copyvio but sometimes due to their owners bucking the wiki-admins here on-wiki).[3] Downside to the upi.com version, versus the paper version... no telephoto of you with the Cray. After you perform the actual archival-step, pre-emptively, then you can add the |archive-url= param to your TBD edit-request, at the same time you ask for the |url= stuff to be inserted. Helpdocs are Template:Cite_web#archive-url for the syntax. Best, 75.108.94.227 (talk) 23:09, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
- Yeah, some people are really into commas, others italics. Me, I live for good citations. ("Good, good, good, good citations!") So just ping me. LaMona (talk) 23:47, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
- Gaaah! Now, you know of course, that every time I hear that song, forevermore, I'm gonna think "citations" when it comes to the chorus??? :-) </humour> 75.108.94.227 (talk) 23:56, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

- Also worth mentioning, http://wikipediafs.sourceforge.net/ (no maintainer but still A Keen Idea methinks). http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/WikiModes , which has a *much* more extensive list of possible architectures, including many options for sysadmin-work on corporate and personal mediawiki installs (i.e. off-wiki non-WMF wiki-servers... which as a strict subset might even be a local dump of en.wikipedia.org installed on your local RAID array in theory). 75.108.94.227 (talk) 13:31, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Thank you, my friend, for your hard work. I incline towards the fact that my friend Chris Allen is interesting but tends to avoid notability. But how??? What I do not really wish to do is to email him and ask. He is self effacing, part of the reason he seems to have avoided
I shall continue, quietly, on this from time to time. Academics are hard. Fiddle Faddle 20:48, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
- There is a famous computer-paper with that song, see Worse is better (ping User:Aviators99 who may also be interested in that proprietary-UNIX-versus-LispM paper). If you don't want to email the professor, then the next best thing is to continue bugging User:DGG for assistance with the search for cite-counts. There must be some kind of resource which lists publications *only* in the journalism field, unlike scholar.google.com which has Chris Allen the astrophysicist and Chris Allen the marketing professor and Chris Allen the native american history prof all mixed in with the Chris Allen we actually want. But yes, writing about academics *is* hard, unless they are like Draft:Brian Boxer Wachlerand seek the television-spotlight.
- p.s. As for the answer to your larger question, which is how an actually-interesting person can fail to become wiki-notable, I can only point to larger problems in humanity: Chris W. Allen (academic) and Jack Shelley (journalist),[5]methinks, until and unless humanity as a whole improves. Wikipedia reflects what the sources say, and the sources suck nowadays. Now, that said, I think you have plenty of coverage...

- GS is probably the best database for such citations in this field, but I will check. (In Google Scholar, citations to an article can be searched for by article title. I'll add the information about where the articles from the university database were actually published--they were in fact published--they're not just online , & verify your numbers). It will be somewhat harder to find references to his work in journalism. The only likely indexI know of is Journalism and mass communication abstracts
- But considering that he has published only 5 articles, of which only 2 are in widely read journals, I'm a little dubious about meeting the usual WP:PROF requirements. This does not surprise me, for he is more of a practicing journalist than specifically a scholar, and the only secure way of showing notability in that field is major national level awards--a Fulbright is not sufficient). I'm not going to work on this beyond what I said, unless you find something else really substantial
- However, as you suggest, Jack Shelly is very likely to be notable, and shouldn't be difficult to do. As a general matter, when adding articles in a field, I think it much more productive to work from most notable still uncovered people. DGG ( talk ) 04:30, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Recognition of your good, quasi-anonymous work
Hello 75108, I thought you might like to know that you're one of the IP users identified on my user page as "longstanding editors who use a static IP address rather than a Wikipedia account yet make many valuable contributions to Wikipedia". Thanks for all you do to make Wikipedia a better encyclopedia and a better place. —

- Hello SOCK, and second of all, wikipedia is a small world, and getting smaller quick. It seems the usual folks will run across me in my wiki-travels, whether I contact them specifically or not... thus why go seeking old wiki-friends, when I can run across them serendiptously? Adds some spice of adventure. You are the third or fourth to ping my new talkpage. Still, you are the first to solve the puzzle, and connect the dots without being told the answer, that I can remember, which is a lot of IP addresses indeed, over many years. As for IRC, though I'm on there from time to time, but I am now user75108 instead, and would be happy to jabber thereon; I'll see if I can find my old notes, there has been a push to delete IP-user-talk pages recently so it might not be visible anymore. 75.108.94.227 (talk) 11:51, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

- No of course Yngvadottir won't marry me, she's the wrong species. Or maybe you meant getting married to *you* but you have to remember that Scandinavian is not a "species" so much as it is a higher state of being. No no, I'm dreaming of someday finding a nice macaque, or even maybe a spider monkey, and settling down in the trees someplace. 75.108.94.227 (talk) 13:04, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

- Hello
I received your message about adding a new section and the !nosign!, but I don't know what that means. I searched it, but found references to Buddhist villages and Samsung, but no wiki speak?? Dtompos has provided his WP:COI, and for reference, he is the son of the founder. He and his brother, Eric, became co-owners in 2002. I have added an edit-request draft to the talk page and I was wondering if you had time to review it, please? I am hoping this is the last one I have to request a review of. I think I have everything in there, that should be there... Wscribner (talk) 14:03, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
- So, to briefly address your questions in order:
- the little !nosign! thing , was because I was editing the page without ~~~~ , and did not want the automated User:Sinebotrobot to later come add 'previous unsigned message by 75.108' for me. In other words, ignore that, it was a programming-instruction for a wikipedia robot I'm friendly with, not meant for you, Wscribner. :-)
- noticed that Dtompos had created a userpage, thanks. Once we have had a brief chat, so I'm clear that WP:COIstuff like using the talkpages rather than directly editing, that will go a long ways towards removing one of the tags on the article.
- I can start reviewing your edit-request sure, but actually I'll just be the critique-giver rather than the 'official' reviewer. We'll let somebody like DGG or Earwig give the final go-ahead, when we get a version everybody is happy with.
- Sorry to dash your hopes, but there is almost always more work to be done here on wikipedia. :-) Your edit-request provides the NREL ref, which is good, but since one of the co-authors is E.Tompos, whether that NREL cite will count towards wiki-notability is unclear (some wikipedians think WP:SCHOLARSHIPis a good guideline and others think it is only a good guideline for article-content and not for wiki-notability).
- the little !nosign! thing , was because I was editing the page without ~~~~ , and did not want the automated
- Cleaning up the small bits like this, is helpful and shows good faith effort, but wiki-notability is very simple: to demonstrate that the article on NTA belongs in wikipedia, the best and only way is through WP:SOURCES. That means, newspapers and magazines and television and radio and government agencies and academia and books and trade-mags and such, which specifically talk about NTA, in some reasonable amount of depth. What do we have so far?
- best cite is South Bend Tribune , reasonably in-depth article by a newspaper
- NREL
- Department of Housing and Urban Development
- WP:NOTEWORTHYmention by a trade-magazine, www.woodallsCM.com
- WP:ABOUTSELFcoverage by the IAS/ICC, which is only quasi-independent because NTA is the paying customer of some parts of that conglomerate, and also the business partner of other parts of that conglomerate
- Which parts of these count towards wiki-notability? They all help *some* of course. But only the sbTrib cite really has much depth. If you or Dtompos knows about other press-coverage, newspapers/television/etc, over the years since 1976, now is the time to dig out the old scrapbooks. It doesn't matter if the coverage is on the web; as long as a librarian like DGG can look it up on microfiche, or otherwise find the published source somewhere, that is what is needed. See Britannica, wikipedians are more likely to take a hard look. 75.108.94.227 (talk) 14:23, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
Userpage?
Hi 75.108 - independent of the other issue, would you like me to create a userpage for you? You appear to have a long-term static IP address with close to 2k edits to ENWP, and to be generally well-informed. No worries if you don't, but since an IP alone can't create (but can edit) their own userpage,) I'd be happy to create a userpage for you to do with as you please if you'd like. Please ping me in a response, my watchlist is a bit overwhelmed atm. Best, Kevin Gorman (talk) 05:51, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
I have a lot of information that has been found, it will add to what is on the NTA page, and also create a new section or two. Please help!! I am putting everything I have found on my talk page. Thank you ahead of time!! Wscribner (talk) 13:37, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

Genesis Mining
I have now deleted it and protected as a probably orangemoody re-creation. Further explanation here. I think this particular article has already had more discussion than it is worth. Further discussion of how to handle articles in the field can best be done for an article without Orangemoody ancestry. Further discussion of how to handle sock-related articles can best be done with one that is about a clearly notable subject. We already have an established practice on dealing with articles related to this particular group of sockpuppets.
But, fwiw, I regard all sources o from trade journals devoted to that particular industry as unreliable because undiscriminating. Assuming impeccable ancestry, I think it would not have passed AfD. DGG ( talk ) 18:00, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

Practopoiesis
Thank you very much for taking the time to figure out what to do with practopoiesis. I have now answered your questions. Best (Danko (talk) 10:48, 30 September 2015 (UTC))
- My questions were answered, that is true. But since my questions were not well-posed questions, the answers only lead to more questions. ;-)
some wikipedia articles , that give a flavor for how wikipedia is organized by field-of-inquiry .. which of course makes pigeonholing interdisciplinary concepts tough
|
---|
|
- WP:SOURCEStype of arrangement.
topics in wikipedia , ordered from most-coverage to least-coverage
|
---|
|
- Now, this is just a rough ordering, but hopefully it gives you the flavor of what is being sought here. WP:LINKSPAM). I realize that you understand these things, because of your comment at AfD about the timescale involved:
I hope that one day it will form a prominent part of the Wikipedia entry on mind. ...I am completely aware that if this ever happens, it will take years.
- But just so you understand, with crystal clarity, it will be at least a decade or two, before practopoiesis has enough press-coverage to merit a one-sentence mention in the article mind or brain. At the moment, the status of practopoiesis is "just a theory" which has not been widely covered by independent wiki-reliable sources. As the years go by, and papers about it are written, reviews of those papers, book-chapters, entire books, the graduate-level AI textbooks have a footnote about it, the undergraduate-level psychology textbooks have a page about it, the high school psych textbooks have a chapter about it... that is how practopoiesis will get more ink here on wikipedia. That is the ONLY way it can happen, I will stress. For instance, this is not wiki-proper behavior:
Some of the ['sibling' articles of concepts somewhat-related to practopoiesis] already have links to practopoiesis, or had them but were meanwhile deleted by editors.
- You have been sprinkling see-also links to WP:ELNOsection.
- Now, because you are still learning to be a wikipedian-in-good-standing, you did not know these rules about see-also pages. But you need to learn them, ASAP, and then please go clean up the mistakes. Practopoiesis is a new theory, and must not use wikipedia as a way to make itself more popular/famous/widespread. It has to spread outside wikipedia, through the normal channels of academia, through the normal channels of science journalism (teevee and radio and newspapers and magazines and popularized-books and the like). You are putting links to practopoiesis where they do not yet belong, becuase practopoiesis does not have sufficient press-coverage, just yet. Make sense?
- So my understanding of practopoiesis, as a concept that needs to be put somewhere, is still fuzzy. But I'm getting closer. What will help me next, is if you give me an idea of what the position of practopoiesis might be, within neurocybernetics (and if not why practopoiesis does not fit), plus an explanation of how specifically practopoiesis fits within autopoiesis, and what relationship practopoiesis has with Allostasis specifically, as opposed to Heterostasis_(cybernetics), and why not heterostatis. Also, if you can give me the 'nearest neighbors' to the concept of downward causation, what sub-subfield of philosophy/AI it is within and what sub-subfield of biology/complexityTheory it is within, plus what the main three competing explanations are. On that same line of thinking, besides the connnectionism-paradigm, what are the other main competitors to practopoiesis. Thanks for your efforts, sorry about the large number of questions, your field is complex but I'm trying to come up to speed as fast as my wiki-feet can paddle. :-) 75.108.94.227 (talk) 23:33, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
- I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time to fix this. It must have taken time to write all these explanations for me.
- I think I understand now the situation better. Yes, it seems that for now practopoiesis has to be a lief in the tree of knowledge. The only question is where this leaf is located. Being an overarching theory, the situation for practopoiesis is such that it can form a leaf on multiple branches (biology, psychology, AI, philosophy of mind, etc). I guess that I could find 10 or 20 leaf positions. Therefore, one has to pick one of those. I think that, in principle, it does not matter which one will be picked. There is probably no special one that is a much better fit than any other. So, one can as well take Downward Causation as a place for the leaf. Adaptive system is maybe another one (if it can be considered a leaf at all).
- Perhaps your questions were geared towards finding that leaf. Let me answer them then:
- I would say that nearest neighbors to Downward causation are Emergence and Self-organization and perhaps also Supervenience.
- Relationship to Autopoiesis: Autopoiesis states that a biologicl organism creates itself. It is contrasted to allopoiesis, which means "created by other". Practopoiesis explains how autopoiesis of an organism takes place: It states that the relationships between certain components of an organism (more precisely between the components of a living cell) are allopoietic. This means that some parts of a cell create others, but not the other way around (e.g., genes create proteins, but proteins do not create genes). Practopoiesis is partly inspired by the theory of autopoiesis (hence the appearance of "poiesis" in both names) but is also a different theory. This puts the two theories also a little bit into competition (hence mentioned also bellow in competition).
- Allostasis and Heterostasis refer more or less to the same thing. Practopoiesis relates to both of them by i) explaining how they work and ii) generalizing their ideas. Allostasis and heterostasis assume regulations made on a regulator. Practopoeisis generalizes by being able to deal with any depth of a hierarchy of adaptive regulation e.g., regulations made on a regulator which regulates yet another regulator, and so on. It also explains advantages of such hierarchies, principles of their operations as well as the limitations.
- Neurocyberentics, as far as I understand it, is a bit of a specific field because it has a strong emphasis on interactions between human and machines and more specifically on brain-machine interfaces (BMI). So, I would say that some aspects of neurocybernetics could be consider a sub-class of practopoietic systems. But other aspects of neurocyberentics would have nothing to do with practopoiesis, but instead more with classical engineering.
- Competitors other than connectionism: Computationalism is its most powerful competitor, judged by the influence it has on the field of neuroscience and AI. Basically, every other theory of mind or AI that is founded in computationalism is a competitor to practopoiesis (and there are many: neural nets, Bayesian, Markov chains, ...). Another competitor would be Prototype theory, as the two explain in very different ways how we get categories and concepts. As I mentioned Autopoiesisis about half a collaborator and half a competitor.
- Competitors other than connectionism:
- There are also approaches to cognition that are largely friends or collaborators to practopoiesis: Important ones not mentioned yet are Situated cognition and Embodied embedded cognition. Practopoiesis tells us how to implement those approaches towards explaining cognition.
Practopoiesis_2
- Note about wiki-technology , you should add colons in front of your paragraphs, I've done it for you, see WP:WIKIQUETTEhelpdocs.
- You gave me good info the first time you replied at the AfD, and further good info here. :-) Many folks on wikipedia are allergic to long conversations, but I'm not one of them, so please keep the good info coming. However, although I appreciate you thanking me for the help at AfD, and the time spent figuring out where practopoiesis belongs in wikipedia per WP:COI-encumbered edits to mainspace like this.[6]My goal is to teach you the ropes of wikipedia, so you stop violating the wiki-rules, and can thus continue to contribute your expertise, and continue to improve wikipedia... without violating the strict anti-spam wiki-culture.
- Do you understand my goal here? I'm not really interested in practopoiesis, or downward causation, or neuroscience generally speaking... I'm interested in having MORE wikipedians that konw something about neurobiology, and that means you, as a neuroscientist slash cyberneticist, are thus a WP:EXPERTcontributor, whom I want to keep contributing here. To that end, I would very much like for you to become a wikipedian-in-good-standing, but for that to happen, you need to start understanding the anti-spam policies here, which are vastly stricter than on any other website you might be accustomed unto.
- Please read WP:SPIPfully enough. I plan to educate you about hte wiki-rules, while you educate me about cutting-edge neuroscience-slash-philosophy-of-mind.
- Now, to be fair, you obviously have *some* clue about how wikipedia works, when it comes to WP:SYNTH, which means the logical argument only takes you so far. To get further in your wiki-knowledge, here is the gedanken experiment that you need to go though: if I pick up a textbook entitled "Earth" is there going to be a chapter on practopoiesis? or a page on practopoiesis? or a sentence on practopoiesis? Or a footnote that namedrops practopoiesis? Or no mention of practopoiesis whatsoever?
- Well, as of 2015, it is "no mention" and thus wikipedia's article WP:UNDUE.
- But although me inserting that would be a mistake, it would not be a *big* mistake, because of who I am and especially because of who I am not. What would be a small mistake (albeit embarrassing since I pride myself on understanding the wiki-policies pretty well), when I did it, would be very different for yourself. In particular, *you* inserting such things, not only would violate WP:ELNO, those are just off the top of my head. Many of those are blockable offenses, should some admin happen to notice the rules-violation (while in a bad mood), which neither of us wants. Blocks are preventative, not punitive, in theory; you can always ask politiely to be unblocked, and if you show you understand what wiki-policy you violated, and swear on a stack of wiki-bibles not to violate the wiki-policy again, then you are again free to be a wikipedian-in-good-standing. But it is easier for all concerned, if you don't get blocked in the first place, but instead find somebody to give you good advice.
- Okay, so the wiki-rules-discussion out of the way for the moment (but please ask if you have any questions about it or don't understnad what I am talking about ... and be aware that there is little relationship between wiki-reliable and real-world reliable, ditto for wiki-notable and real-world notable, andvery little relationship between wiki-COI and real-world COI)... let us get back to business. Here are my attempts to clasify practopoiesis, within three different fields of inquiry, as a leaf node:
- Note about wiki-technology , you should add colons in front of your paragraphs, I've done it for you, see
- Academia>
- Psychobiology > Consciousness > Higher-order_theories_of_consciousness > Wisconsin Card Sorting Test > Neural adaptation>
- practopoiesis-as-primarily-a-cognitiveScience/biology-subtopic
- Academia>
- Philosophy > Philosophy of mind > Intelligence > Artificial intelligence > Externalism > Abductive reasoning > K-line > neural network >
- practopoiesis-as-primarily-an-AI/philosophy-subtopic
- Academia>
- Poiesis > Complex system > Semantics > Esthesic and poietic > adaptive system > Homeostasis > Adaptive behavior >
- practopoiesis-as-primarily-a-cybernetics/systems-subtopic
- I am sure I've made some mistakes. ;-) Cannot be helped, wikipedia is mostly written by amateurs, not by experts. Please correct me, by offering improved ontology chains of your own. Maybe there is even a fourth field of inquiry, that I have not mentioned? Personally, these are how I'm imagining things at the moment. Now, as wth everything on wikipedia, picking a leaf-node should be decided based on what the WP:SOURCES actually say, and how *they* pigeonhole the new theory. In the case of practopoiesis, we can look at the names of the journals, and the abstracts of the places where it has been cited, for our clues. Here is your interview with Nick Bostrom's think tank the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies in 2014,[7] which was re-published in August 2015,[8]under the following IEET-specific ontology chain:
- IEET > Life > Brain–computer-interface > Innovation > Neuroscience > Vision > AI > Psychology.

- Now, just counting noses roughly, we have 'sources' that indicate the topic of practopoiesis is neuroscience/psychology/theoreticalBiology in 3 sources, AI in 2 sources, and systemsThoery/cybernetics in 3 sources. But this is not a nose-counting contest. First of all, only wiki-reliable sources can be counted, and the publisher at WP:RSsince it is unclear if IEET exercises sufficient editorial oversight. Also, as an interview, it counts less towards wiki-notability than a piece entirely in the journalists's voice reviewing your work. That said, assuming IEET qualifies as a wiki-reliable publisher (we can see their video received several thousand hits but that is not enough), IEET lists your interview under the life/neuroscience/psychology tags (plus also mentions AI in the middle there).
- So at the end of the day, when we just look at the WP:NORUSH. So in the short term, please give me your ontology-trees that you think are closest to the truth, and your opinion on the primary ontology-tree that makes sense for practopoiesis, aka best represents the main thrust of the "home" field of inquiry, for the new concept.
- Practopoiesis draws on all three (biology/psychology and philosophy/AI and systems/cybernetics), but where is the *top* area of applicability slash innovation? Or to put it another way, although you hope that professionals in the fields of biology, neurology, philosophy, computer science, and systems theory will be interested in your work... which subgroup of the readership working in those fields, will have the most people likely to be interested in reading about practopoiesis? 75.108.94.227 (talk) 18:06, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
- I am sure I've made some mistakes. ;-) Cannot be helped, wikipedia is mostly written by amateurs, not by experts. Please correct me, by offering improved ontology chains of your own. Maybe there is even a fourth field of inquiry, that I have not mentioned? Personally, these are how I'm imagining things at the moment. Now, as wth everything on wikipedia, picking a leaf-node should be decided based on what the
- Hi! Thanks again for all this work and the detailed explanations. I leaned a lot. Here is the answer to your question: It is biology that is the most important filed for practopoiesis. Reasons: The original paper is published in a biological journal and the theory has been developed mostly from my studies in (neuro)biology. It should be biologists who should be most interested in reading the paper.
- And no, you did not make any big mistakes in your classifications--as far as I can tell. You made only small ones (e.g., neurology is something different from neuroscience; neurology is a part of medicine).
- I understand that I should not have made links to practopoiesis on other pages. By reading the links that you suggested, I should have probably written suggestions to the editors of those pages and then waited until they decide to include such references, or not include. Perhaps, this is what I should do: Remove the texts that I entered and then ask the editors to put them back. I just don't know what is the best way of doing it. Maybe you can advice me there. Should I do it on the talk-page of the page in question or on the page of an editor that seems relevant to me? Or both? Or is there some other option?

- If you have questions about how to hop through these wiki-hoops, with the curlycurly things, you can use WP:5, if I haven't mentioned it before; they are subtle, read them a few times and mull over the details of what they mean, and how they work in practice. 75.108.94.227 (talk) 19:12, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Re: request for help with Turkish sources
Hey there. Saw your message on my talk page. I'd be glad to help! I'll have a look at the article linked in Veziroğlu's talk page and provide a translation. Crusoe704 (talk) 18:51, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
- Much appreciated, WP:NOTEWORTHY facts (written in wiki-neutral English), and shove those factoids into mainspace. Up to you, of course, if you'd rather do a quick translation, then have me write up some mainspace-sentences from that, I am happy to do it thataway. 75.108.94.227 (talk) 19:24, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
