Aloha

I just wanted to say hello, again. Are you on Czech time? I would love to discuss the topic of computer ethics with you at some point, as I have some questions pertaining to some current pages that I think you could help me with in the future. --Viriditas | Talk 06:13, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Czech, Afshar

Hey Culix!

Thanks for your message! Randomly I noticed on your user page that you're interested in Czech stuff - that's fun, I am Czech. Do you speak some Czech, except for the name of Radek Richta?

Afshar invited me for a dinner and paid for it - it was a pleasant experience so I should perhaps reduce the criticism of his beliefs. (He is also a committed muslim.) Concerning the favorite interpretations, my most favorite one are Consistent Histories which is a "daughter" of the Many-Worlds interpretation and the Copenhagen interpretation - the latter was pragmatically speaking essentially fine, too - although it was incomplete. Afshar's experiment is also discussed on my blog [1] although it does not necessarily contain the most up-to-date comments. What about your favorite interpretations?

All the best, Lubos (Lumidek)

Computer ethics

Aloha, Culix. The best way to discuss Computer ethics is to start an article about it! Feel free to start this article at any time, and I will be glad to help. Before you start the article, have a look at Ethics of technology and try to determine if this article is more accurate or inclusive. Either way, this article needs work. --Viriditas | Talk 03:04, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I agree with you on the difficulty of NPOV in regard to ethics; I suppose the problem is the subjectivity of ethics itself. To get a very brief look at this kind of difficulty, have a look at what I helped contribute to the section on the ethical issues of Terraforming. The best thing to do is to attribute ideas to claimants; this helps avoid many POV problems, although I have yet to do that on the Terraforming page! Good luck on your exams! --Viriditas | Talk 03:58, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Double slit exp.

Hey Culix,

thanks for your reply. Well, I think that the double slit experiments were essentially understood once and for all already in the late 1920s, and we physicists just follow their insights at that time.

Concerning translations, I did it - essentially for free - in the case of Brian Greene's The Elegant Universe (from English to Czech). The opposite direction would be far from perfect, and I don't have time to do it... Sorry.

Best, Lubos

Categorization

Not a problem! I need to work on the ethics of Terraforming, though. :) --Viriditas | Talk 01:48, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hermit's Cave and Valerio Ricetti

Hi there. I came across a misspelling of Valerio (Valeri) Ricetti on the article Hermit's Cave when I was constructing an article on this unusual recluse. Then searching wiki in case there were any others I came across the one on your user page. I hope you don't mind I have corrected the spelling so that it points correctly to Valerio Ricetti. Please feel free to come into the article and edit. --VS ^talk 10:52, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GEB

I hope I can continue to be of assistance. If you have any free time to spare, please help expand Indra's net. I added the citation to GEB, but I have not yet added the content. I also made a recommendation on the GEB comment page requesting a rewrite for the lead. —Viriditas | Talk 08:21, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Neil Postman on bullshit

Just saw your question and replied here. It was classic Postman. Tvoz |talk 15:34, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I answered you on the talk page before I got your note - I think it's not the best citation, but it is ok for now. But I do wonder if the essay rises to the level of the books listed there - actually it's not an attack on the essay, it's that I'm not sure it's one of his three greatest accomplishments - probably the section needs expansion. Tvoz |talk 09:07, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your message on my talkpage...

Sorry for the much belated reply...I was kind of indisposed..anyway: I remember it like yesterday, me putting the tag on the article :)).

Although it was courteous of you to ask, you could have removed the tag by yourself; and, btw, nice work there. Cheers and happy editing. Lectonar (talk) 16:29, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Pfhorte

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

notability not established

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. Magog the Ogre (talk) 05:29, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

comments

I'm afraid I am somewhat confused by your changing of the Pfhorte article to a redirect. You made the article a redirect that points to Marathon Trilogy#See_also, but in the See Also section there is a link back to Pfhorte. This seem circular and leaves nowhere for the content to go. Am I missing something? Are you saying you would prefer in Pfhorte content was placed on the Marathon Trilogy page? --Culix (talk) 06:13, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, unless there is a lot more to it it belongs on the Trilogy page (with the link removed once the page is gone; or with the link left in if you feel there is a longer notable page to be written but don't have the time to track down stats, articles and other references). +sj + 06:15, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You asked for feedback. I've only skimmed it so far but it looks pretty good. There are some in line external links that I try to avoid. I need to read it in a little more detail to see if there is excessive detail. RJFJR (talk) 22:57, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Logo

Good to see you got that logo uploaded. I would say that the image is low resolution, because otherwise we have to reduce the resolution. The size there looks fine. Double a thumbnail size is good for logos. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 05:39, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Ascendancy review

No problem. I noticed that you were working on the article and dropped by on a whim to check it out. When I saw that you were using this review, which I assumed was from the Online print archive, I decided to dig around in some of its less intuitive indexes for more reviews of the game. I was lucky enough to locate the PC Gamer UK review, and left it in the External links in case you wanted it. Sadly, I don't have the original magazine, and I couldn't find any other reviews in the OPA. Still, I hope it was helpful, and I wish you good luck with the article. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 23:44, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've been considering offering instructions on these problems, but the workarounds can be so complicated that it would be almost impossible to do so for every index. I'll try to give you as clear of a breakdown as I can. Basically, there are simple indexes in the online print archive—stuff no one should have any problem sorting through. These include the first PC Gamer US archive, the Game Informer archives and the Computer Games Magazine archive, with some exceptions. The PC Gamer UK archive is tricky, though, because the full page listings for each letter go dead maybe three or four pages in. The workaround is pretty time intensive, but here's how I got that Ascendancy review:

First, go to the A's. Then, click on a review link, and look at the number at the end of the URL. If it's something ridiculously high—like a four digit number—go for a different one. You want something <50, as PC Gamer UK sorted their reviews from 1 onward, in alphabetical order. Once you have that, alter the number on the end. In this case, I believe I started with Adrenix (35), or something, and skipped ahead to a higher number that would be close to Ascendancy. Once I got close, I fished around one digit at a time. For example: 85, 86, 87, 88, and finally, 89, the number of Ascendancy's review. There are tons of dead links this way, but countless otherwise-inaccessible reviews may be found like this.

The massive review list in the OPA is designed as a workaround for this issue. With all the time I've spent in these indexes, I know all of their quirks, issues and workarounds. However, I can only do so much—I list the reviews for games I recognize, or games whose articles would likely be written. I cannot, however, predict when a game like Ascendancy, which I was unfamiliar with until now, will have an article written about it. It's an ongoing problem with the OPA, which I hope to fix in the next few months. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 02:34, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:AscendancySystemDisplay.png

Thanks for uploading File:AscendancySystemDisplay.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 04:05, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there, I had just noticed your feedback on the Sadness (video game) article. Thanks a bunch! It was just accessed as C class today, and I'm going to try to find some more sources to get it to B class. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 17:32, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your help desk question

You didn't get an answer to this question. I wouldn't know how to, but did you find the answer elsewhere?— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 21:40, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Vchimpanzee: Hi, thanks for the reply. I have not received an answer elsewhere. Do you think it is appropriate if I post on Wikipedia:Deletion_review? I see that Wikipedia:Files_for_discussion says "For undeletion requests, first contact the administrator who deleted the file. If you are unable to resolve the issue with that administrator, the matter should be brought to deletion review". I could ping the admin a third time, unless that is considered bothering them too much. I am hoping that if I request undeleting the file, it would get seen and assessed if I submit the article for GA review. --Culix (talk) 17:41, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
