Belle Knox AFD #2

The second AFD for Belle Knox has been overturned and relisted. As you commented on the original AFD, you may wish to comment on this one as well. As there have been developments and sources created since the time of the original AFD, please review to see if your comments/!vote are the same or may have changed. Gaijin42 (talk)

Have a delicious cookie!

(for misunderstanding the reverts at first) For pushing for a neutral point of view on GamerGate. I'd rather have a neutral article than one heavily in favor of the GamerGate thing. DSA510 Pls No Hate 07:33, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

Work done by gravity

I posted the following in the Siphon Talk page. I don't know if you'll notice it there so I'm reposting it here. I'm not sure this is an appropriate place to post it, but whether it is or not, feel free to delete it after you read it if you wish.

@DHeyward - Do you still think gravity does no work on a falling object? I think I finally figured out where you were getting that idea. It seems your idea comes from the way potential energy calculations are done. When doing potential energy calculations it is important NOT to include the work done by gravity in the work term, but rather let the work done by gravity be accounted for implicitly in the potential energy term. But it is important to realize that this is just a convention to simplify the calculations. It doesn't mean gravity is doing no work just because you don't include it in the work term. You are accounting for the work done by gravity in the potential energy term. If you included it in the work term as well as the potential energy term, you would be counting the work done by gravity twice. Here is an MIT physics homework problem calculating the work done by gravity on a falling object: http://ocw.mit.edu/high-school/physics/exam-prep/work-energy-power/forces-potential-energy/8_01t_fall_2004_ic_sol_w06d3_1.pdf There is also a problem from MIT to calculate the work done by gravity on a pendulum (problem 2c): http://ocw.mit.edu/high-school/physics/exam-prep/work-energy-power/forces-potential-energy/8_01_fall_1999_final.pdf and the answer is given here: http://ocw.mit.edu/high-school/physics/exam-prep/work-energy-power/forces-potential-energy/8_01_fall_1999_finalsol.pdf as mgl rather than zero. Now I've cited an MIT physics instructor showing that gravity does do work on falling objects. And gravity is a force that often acts over a distance in the direction of motion, so it fits the definition of a force doing work. Can you cite a single comment from anyone, anywhere, that supports the idea that gravity does no work on falling objects? Mindbuilder (talk) 06:49, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of University of Minnesota Food Industry Center

As reviewing admin, I'm not sure how far the "educational institution" exemption from WP:CSD#A7 extends, but since you have raised it and speedies should not be controversial, I have replaced it with a PROD - formal notice below.

The article University of Minnesota Food Industry Center has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

individual schools and departments within a university are not generally considered notable unless there is substantial coverage in sources independent of the university itself - see, WP:UNIGUIDE, particularly the section "Faculties and academic colleges".

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Admin

Maybe just self nominate and see how it goes. If you fail then try again in six months.--MONGO 21:36, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

I thought about it. Also got a nominating admins review that he thought the ANI might go okay but that he shouldn't be the nominator. I might give that a shot. --DHeyward (talk) 00:35, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

There are some tools or at least used to be that examined a contributors AFD votes and other things that would show your possible red flags. TParis or Dennis Brown or maybe Bishonen might know where those are. The talk page of every Rfa has details such as that but I don't know where the templates are at. I would nominate you but my last Rfa as well as my last two nominations were disasters and I doubt my nominating would benefit you at all. Many might vote against you just because of my nomination.--MONGO 00:42, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

(stalking) My advice would be this. Keep churning out content; not everyone agrees, but if you know how to write encyclopedia articles (especially to GA / FA status), it proves you are able to communicate facts effectively, which is a vital skill. Get a good co-nom (look how many people have recently said "Support, Dennis nom'ed him, what can go wrong?") who is prepared to cross-examine you effectively. Make sure you've got no skeletons in your closet, ideally you'll have no blocks and no justifiable templated warnings (that PROD from an admin just above this thread is an immediate red flag) and nobody can pull up a diff of you getting cross or upset. Finally, you need to have a good idea exactly what you want to do with the tools, and show strong evidence you've been working in that area - eg: if you want to close AfDs, you must have participated ideally in several hundred with your !vote matching the closing rationale around at least 85 - 90% of the time, and preferably with a bunch of non-admin closures that are within policy and unchallenged. Have a look at Dennis' RfA page and see if that's of any use. FWIW I am mulling over going for the mop myself, and there's some recent-ish discussion on Dennis' talk about my efforts, though I'm personally not in any rush as I've been moderating internet forums and BBS for about 20 years and seen all the grief and hassle you can get.

Note on temporary injunction

DHeyward, now that the case is open, proposed injunctions need to go on the workshop page, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/GamerGate/Workshop. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 05:54, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

Thx. fixed. --DHeyward (talk) 16:33, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

Notifications of GamerGare sanctions

Please read this notification carefully:
A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Gamergate controversy.
The details of these sanctions are described here.

General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies.
