Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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, sorry about the removal of the URL at Musa basjoo. I suspect, though, that readers with narrow screens won't find the relevant text, as it's not visible at the right unless you scroll. Still, it is correct. Peter coxhead (talk) 09:42, 27 May 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I don't think anybody can edit Wikipedia these days without getting reverted a few times. No hard feelings. ☺

And yes, I wish there was a better URL, but the intersection of horticultural society and computer skills is pretty small. I was really happy that it was online at all... -- Mathnerd314159 (talk) 09:55, 27 May 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on The Cambridge Diet. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's

As I read WP:Edit warring, it requires "repeatedly changing content back". I only did one revert, hence there's no repetition. I don't see how it could be an edit war. Of course it would be edit warring if I did two reverts. --Mathnerd314159 (talk) 19:10, 29 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi! Thanks for improving the caption. Indeed, the row-col order differs from Logical_matrix. I'd prefer nevertheless to keep x for the column and y for the row, since the is the usual order in cartesian coordinates. Maybe, the order in Logical_matrix could be mirrored (it seems to be unsourced, anyway)? - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 22:37, 31 December 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Btw: The full (I hope) description of the image can be found at commons:File:PartialOrders redundencies.pdf#Summary. - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 22:42, 31 December 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Well, the order for the logical matrix follows from the fact that the general order for a matrix element ${\displaystyle a_{i}j}$ is row, column. For example see File:Matrix.svg. I agree, it's annoying... but technically, you have matrices there, not graphs, so Cartesian coordinates don't apply. (Side note: the row-column order on matrix is unsourced too! But I feel like that's an oversight) --Mathnerd314159 (talk) 22:56, 31 December 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The reference to general matrix order convinces me. I'll change the pictures and the caption. - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 09:28, 1 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

In this edit you left the edit summary "aside: Since proleptic Gregorian is an ISO standard but proleptic Julian is not I would imagine proleptic Julian is used less".

In the historical papers and books I've read about the period in Europe and the Americas before the Gregorian calendar went into effect, the authors used the Julian calendar for all the times and places it was in force. It was in force for over 1600 years in Europe. During that time, a great many historical events occurred that could be dated to a specific date. Before 45 BC, when the Julian calendar began, the number of historical events that can be dated to a specific date is much less. So when referring to events in Europe and the Americas before 1583, I estimate the use of the Julian calendar greatly exceeds the use of the proleptic Gregorian calendar.

I have never read an article or book about history that made any mention of the International Organization for Standardization. I have read all but the latest version of ISO 8601, and participated in a discussion organized by the Library of Congress which heavily influenced the latest ISO 8601. In my view, the authors of all the versions before the latest had little or no interest in historical dates, and only cared about current dates such as airline reservations and financial transactions. Jc3s5h (talk) 22:09, 24 May 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Well, the comparison is not between Julian and proleptic Gregorian; Julian was historically used to record dates and so would of course be more common in history discussing those time periods. Similarly in the history section of the article, the date was found based on the Julian calendar so using proleptic Julian makes sense there. The comparison is rather proleptic Gregorian vs proleptic Julian in the variants section. While there are a few history sources like [1] [2] that use proleptic Julian, all the Maya stuff uses proleptic Gregorian, and all the calendrical calculation / programming sources use proleptic Gregorian. Similarly JD is the only entry using the proleptic Julian calendar - all the variants use Gregorian / proleptic Gregorian. Even if it's not historically the right format, giving the proleptic Gregorian date is much more convenient for people doing calculations using the dates in the table. --Mathnerd314159 (talk) 23:05, 24 May 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi Mathnerd314159,

Thanks for the update.  Adding a lead is a good idea, thank you.  I have revised it to make it more progressive and self-contained.

The depiction of the successive reduction steps now occurs twice: in the lead since this makes the page clearer at the outset, and locally in the text since each depiction illustrates the OCaml code next to it.

As you did in

Ditto for

Unit of alcohol . If you feel that this article should be merged to standard drink, please follow the above procedures, and obtain a consensus through discussion with other editors first. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:07, 16 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply

PS. I might actually support a merge proposal for that second set of topics, as I concur the concepts seems very related (but I don't think you merged 100% of the content from the u of a article? A merge should be complete, or if some stuff was not merged, an explanation is needed - and in either case, we need to follow the procedure and have a merge discussion and wait for consensus to emerge or some time to pass). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:10, 16 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Per

WP:BRD

you are free to revert, so I guess I'll now go through the formal process for Alcohol-related crime, unless you change your mind in the next few minutes. In the Unit of alcohol case, it was proposed several years ago with no objections, so I proposed it formally just because I wasn't really enthusiastic about the merge, but such a process is not necessary, and of course it ended up as nobody objecting during the typical one-week window.

In the Alcohol-related crime case, there was a

WP:NOPAGE

, even if an article is notable under GNG or other criteria, it doesn't necessarily merit a stand-alone page, if it can be covered better as part of a larger article. In this case, I think focusing on the social harm the laws are aiming to prevent does provide that broader context, due to the diversity of laws.

Both my merges were information-preserving, in the sense that I removed only duplicated content and references. Mathnerd314159 (talk) 04:49, 16 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I've double checked and you are right, the information I thought was missing from standard drink previously in unit... has indeed been merged, my bad. And there was an (old) merge discussion. I've self-reverted my revert of your merge there. But regarding the crime article, I stand by my view that it is needed as a separate article (a type of crime). Ps. If you reply here to me, please

WP:ECHO me; otherwise I may not notice your reply and forget about this thread. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:02, 16 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply
