Please Review
Hello, I am getting ready to propose
In watching the nomintaion of the OU football program, I see that the OU article has received some objections on the grounds of supposedly being overly positive and for listing too-many awards. I have reviewed the 2006 UT article in light of those objections and I am prepared to argue that every positive thing said is relevant and attributed to a specific source. As for the awards and accomplishments, I think all the ones listed in the UT article are notable and justifiable, but I'd like to get more feedback from other editors so I invite you to review the article if you please.

These NFL guys need to get with it
I was thinking about trying to finish up the work to bring Vince Young back to GA status. I just realized that of 30 references in the article, 30 pertain either to his time at UT or to the draft. The NFL project has not managed to add one single reference to the article.
So I figured, well, there will be some references I can borrow from Tennessee Titans. Nope. Completely unreferenced. There is a page for 2006 Tennessee Titans season - completely unreferenced. Pathetic. These are not exactly obscure topics where references are hard to come by.
Not only are these articles supposedly watched over by the NFL project, they are tagged by the Tennessee wikiproject also. I tagged both articles as unreferenced and left notes for both WikiPorjects.
I was all fired up but now I am a bit discouraged. I feel the article may just fall back out of GA status once a new season starts if the NFL editors can't do a better job than that. I guess I'll wait a bit and see if my notices encourage anyone from those projects to help out. Johntex\talk 16:31, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
Aaron Sorkin article up for Featured Article status
Schm83x, I see you were instrumental in getting The West Wing article here at Wikipedia to featured article status... I'm trying to do the same with the Aaron Sorkin article. I would appreciate it if you could help peer review the article where it currently is in the process of vetting at the FAC page. The article is very comprehensive and it's unique in that there hasn't yet been a Screenwriter whose article has reached featured article status yet. I'm working from the nascent Screenwriters WikiProject Wikipedia:WikiProject Screenwriters to try and correct that.-BiancaOfHell 03:28, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Image revert
Scm, I see that you have casually reverted the image of thermodynamic engine for that of a candle in the Template:Thermodynamics timeline context box? I don't exactly know what your motive is? A candle has nothing to do with thermodynamics. I have many history of thermodynamic books. Moreover, I've never seen you edit any thermodynamics-related articles. Please explain yourself? --Sadi Carnot 07:40, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
- Candle = fire = heat = thermodynamics... I'm not sure how much more obvious that can be. But that aside, a moving image in a box such as that only serves to distract from the content of the article. Also, I am a mechanical engineer with a particular interest in thermal fluids. It really isn't wise to assume that because I don't edit thermodynamics articles that I am ignorant of the subject. If I work with thermal fluids all day, what reason do I have to come home and do the same in my free time? — Scm83x hook 'em 07:52, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Let’s regroup for a minute. The image we want is such that it represents this article:
File:Gas-particles.jpg | |||||
Steam engine | Carnot heat engine | Candle | Engine | Gas phase |
Now, as far is I can tell, in this particular article, or in the
- I simply added the candle because a candle is a fire. I personally couldn't find any images that worked, because they are all in too much detail to be truly well displayed on such a small scale. I'm honestly confused as to why you don't see the logic in using something simple, like a candle, as the icon for this box. Combustion being an essential thermodynamic process and a single candle flame being the most simple representation of combustion I see a certain elegance about it. Especially considering the fact that those not well versed in thermodynamics certainly understand a candle, while most probably don't understand a triple expansion engine. In any case, the box is overall quite useless. It should be replaced in most cases with some sort of {{main|x}} link or removed entirely. It only appears in a handful of random articles anyways. — Scm83x hook 'em 08:22, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
- I just modified and uploaded the original Carnot heat engine. I agree the template is rather useless; however, after seeing that "candle" on a number of articles lately, it has begun to bug me. When I think thermodynamics, I don't think candle, or visa-versa. When I see a candle, I think old-fashion night-light, reading light, prayer or religious symbol, some kind of Wicca thing, etc. I see your reasoning, i.e. flame = heat; but I take a certain amount of pride in the thermodynamics articles in Wikipedia and I don't think the candle is representative of either heat or thermodynamics. I apologize for my abruptness; however, I am just being frank. --Sadi Carnot 08:38, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
More suggestions
I'm commenting here at Sadi Carnot's request. It may be that I have more abstract sensibilities, but when I think of thermodynamics I think of equations and plots. I would use either Boltzmann's entropy formula, the partition function, or a plot of the Carnot cycle as an iconic representation of thermodynamics. Itub 10:04, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm a math guy, so I think of plots and equations too, but I think an "icon" is appropriate here. A candle flame is not a good thermodynamic icon, a steam engine is, but an icon should be simple. More thermodynamic icons:
- A piston in a cylinder
- A thermometer
- PV diagram of a Carnot cycle (mentioned above)
I also like the Boltzmann S=k ln(W) but thats probably too mathematical and not iconic enough. PAR 16:18, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
- I agree the candle is a little off... I'm fond of the gas particles, but a PV Carnot diagram may be appealing as well. --Falcorian (talk) 16:22, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
- I just cropped and uploaded the random processes, etc. I also added the indicator diagram per PAR's suggestion. It seems we are making progress. The stone-carved equation, though, is very "iconic". --Sadi Carnot 16:57, 5 February 2007 (UTC)]
- I just cropped and uploaded the
{{Thermodynamics timeline context}}
- Three votes, including myself, for the stone-carved Boltzmann's equation (as above). I will put this in. If we find a better suggestion, we can always change it later. Thanks for everyone's comments: --Sadi Carnot 17:52, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

]Questioning minor 1st paragraph edits?
Re: John Roberts, John Paul Stevens, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, David Souter, Clarence Thomas, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Samuel Alito, Sandra Day O'Connor
This is a small matter. I don't understand the reasons for Sjrplscjnky's recent minor edits of articles about each of the Justices of the Supreme Court. After some time, there has been no response to inquiries posted on this editor's talk page nor has there been feedback from similar postings on the talk pages of each of the nine articles about a sitting Justice and the one about retired Justice O'Connor. Rather than simply reverting this "improvement," I thought it best to solicit comment from others who might be interested. I found your name amongst others at Talk:Supreme Court of the United States.
I'm persuaded that Sjrplscjnky's strategy of introducing academic honors in the first paragraph is unhelpful in this narrow set of articles -- that is, in Wikipedia articles about Justices of the Supreme Court. I think my reasoning might well extend as well to others on the Federal bench. In each instance, I would question adding this information only in the first paragraph -- not elsewhere in the article.
In support of my view that this edit should be reverted, please consider re-visiting articles written about the following pairs of jurists.
- A1. Benjamin Cardozo
- A2. Learned Hand
- A1.
The question becomes: Would the current version of the Wikipedia article about any one of them -- or either pair -- be improved by academic credentials in the introductory paragraph? I think not.
Perhaps it helps to repeat a wry argument Kathleen Sullivan of Stanford Law makes when she suggests that some on the Harvard Law faculty do wonder how Antonin Scalia avoided learning what others have managed to grasp about the processes of judging? I would hope this anecdote gently illustrates the point.
Less humorous, but an even stronger argument is the one Clarence Thomas makes when he mentions wanting to return his law degree to Yale.
As you can see, I'm questioning relatively trivial edit; but I hope you agree that this otherwise plausible "improvement" should be removed from introductory paragraphs of ten articles. If not, why not?
Would you care to offer a comment or observation? --

Hi Scm83x, I'm leaving this message on your talk page because of your work on Plano Senior High School, the only public non-magnet high school that has reached FA. I am an editor of Amador Valley High School and am looking to raise the article to FA as well. If you have time, I would appreciate your opinion on how to make the Amador Valley High School article meet the standards of the Plano Senior High School article. My main worry is that the article is not "comprehensive" enough in certain sections. Also, some sections, particularity the lead, are a bit choppy. Thank you, Deltawk (talk) 17:33, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

File source problem with File:West wing cast.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:West wing cast.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on
