Hello, can you take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_breese and put in your vote to keep or delete, I am rather outnumbered by some non-spiritual people, could use someone who has a co-operative energy to look into the matter on a spiritual teacher article. Also please look into another article that was deleted that has been there for years at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_metaphysical_sciences but was deleted by a user as soon as I linked to it.

== Scott de Martinville ==

Hi there, Lumos3! I tried to make the thing about the new recording say 'almost three decades' in that paragraph about the Edison Co. Handel chorus recording, but someone with just a red IP reverted me. I am allergic to revert wars so I left it but put the ext link to the 1888 page into the text. As you are doing things with this page maybe you'd like to make it say 'three' decades. Possibly the person won't revert BOTH of us! Did you know this story made [[Charlotte Green]], the BBC Radio 4 newsreader, get an attack of the giggles this morning live on air? Something to do with someone whispering it sounded like a bee in a bottle. I think it sounds fabulous, and I hope they go on and find Lincoln - and others. I think it's a big shame the [[Phonograph]] article is so Edison-centred it hasn't got room for some stuff on the Preece, Henry Edmunds and Augustus Stroh work of 1878. I guess the propaganda unit won't let this one go!!!! Best wishes.[[User:Eebahgum|Eebahgum]] ([[User talk:Eebahgum|talk]]) 00:10, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
:I believe most of your edit remains in place. 'almost three decades' could be seen as putting a spin on it , just say what it was ie 28 years. I have been playing the Au Clair de la Lune recording in a loop and thinks its very realistic and a bit spooky. [[User:Lumos3|Lumos3]] ([[User talk:Lumos3#top|talk]]) 00:27, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

== Vitamin C ==
Hey there. I'm aware that you contribute to this article in a large way and your edits are appreciate your contributions. You are constantly altering the article to favour taking large doses of vitamin C. This is very dangerous and is considered fringe science and is quite frankly outdated. For instance your quote ''Pauling's 1986 book How to Live Longer and Feel Better was a bestseller and advocated taking more than 10,000 milligrams per day orally'' is irresponsible as taking those doses invariably causes toxic effects. Notably it causes kidney stones, reduces copper levels causes diarrhoea. You constant;y are advocating outdated fringe science on the topic. All the mainstream sources state the vitamin C should be taken within it's stated dose and if should exceed 500mg at the very most. Please see the following sites: [http://www.thejcdp.com/issue018/bsoul/11bsoul.htm], [http://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/Atoz/common/standard/transform.jsp?requestURI=/healthatoz/Atoz/ency/vitamin_toxicity.jsp], [http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/v/vitamin_c_overdose/intro.htm#whatis], [http://www.antioxidants-info.com/content.asp?pagerequested=556382&title=Vitamin-C-Overdose-Too-Much-Of-A-Good-Thing], [http://heart-disease.emedtv.com/vitamin-c/vitamin-c-overdose.html], [http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/vitamin-c/AN01801]
This sort of information pushing is dangerous and irresponsible as individuals may be inclinded to take this as healthcare advice. Please try to be a bit more balancd when editing vitamin c <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Medos2|Medos2]] ([[User talk:Medos2|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Medos2|contribs]]) 12:47, 6 April 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:All of the above are to jounalist's pages with no mention of a science basis for the stated dangers of overdose. Can you provide serious peer reviewed science for your claims of the effects of overdose? If you are concerned about toxic effects then I suggest you add fully referenced material to the "Adverse effects" section in the article.

:Paulings book was a best seller and was historically significant in the public interest in taking high levels of Vitamin C. It needs to be mentioned for historic reasons even if you disagree with what he said.

:::Ok, as requested peer-reviewed scientific journals on the topic of vitamin C toxicity: [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1569652?ordinalpos=11&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum], [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3943193?ordinalpos=16&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum],

:::Paulings book is a best seller but it is over 20 years old. I think that needs to be kept in focus.

I agree there is evidence that ascorbic acid increases oxalate formation but there is no evidence that it increases kidney stone formation. Correspondence does not equal causality. AA may have other effects in the body which may prevent stone formation. The Food and Nutrition Board panel on dietary antioxidants and related compounds suggested in 2000 that in vivo data do not clearly show a relationship between excess vitamin C intake and kidney stone formation [http://www.nutritionj.com/content/pdf/1475-2891-2-7.pdf See here page3 and ref 20]. The article already notes this in the "Adverse effects" section. I have never seen a reputable study on the copper claim. The diarrhoea effect is well documented in the article , is reversible and harmless. Pauling's book was a popularisation of his ideas on AA from the early 1970s. His hypotheses have never been put to the test at his dose levels since then and there has been no study which has falsified them, so their age is not relevant. Mention of the book and Paulings deliberate role in promoting high doses is essential to a balanced historical view. [[User:Lumos3|Lumos3]] ([[User talk:Lumos3#top|talk]]) 22:40, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

:The flip-side of your point if there is no study on Paulings' work then equally there is no study which validates them, but I understand that you are showing that it is not mainstream so I do understand. I think you've defended your point admirably. Thanks for addressing my concerns.

== Stirling engine Intro ==

Hi Lumos,

I note you have added the phrase "which is unique to the Stirling engine" referring to the regenerator. This is not the case, there are many regenerative processes - in the field of heat engines it was famously applied to the open cycle Ericsson engines and continues to be used on Brayton cycle machines such as the gas turbine, usually in the form of the Ritz rotary regenerator. Ivo Kolin's 'The Evolution of the Heat Engine' is a very good primer on the various cycles.

I do hope this business of a concise, accurate and digestable intro is sorted soon without too many clashes. The Stirling engine is something of an enthusiasm of mine and at the moment I feel the whole article is doing it a great disservice by being cumbersome and convoluted. To get the intro right would be a good starting point - though actually it wasn't too bad a few edits ago, but if I start reverting again Mikiemike will have me strung up!

:Apologies , I bow to your greater knowkedge. I was trying to convey that the Regenerator is an essential feature of a Stirling engine, although I now read that some engines may lack it and still be called SEs so Im now bemused. [[User:Lumos3|Lumos3]] ([[User talk:Lumos3#top|talk]]) 18:49, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your prompt removal of the offending statement - I'm fed up with being the bad guy!

Indeed, all Stirling engines should have some form of regeneration, but not all regenerative engines are Stirlings. As all Stirling engines are hot air engines, within the extended definition encompassing other gaseous working fluids, but not all hot air engines are Stirlings - ooh err, a bit controversial!

The reason for your bemusement is, I think, that in some engines cyclic heat exchange with the walls of the gas passages between the hot and cold heat exchangers provides a significant regenerative effect, classing them as Stirling engines even in the absence of an identifiable regenerator. This is particularly true of small engines where the ratio of surface are to swept volume is favorable. Remember that for geometrically similar designs, surface area is, of course, proportional to the square of linear dimensions while volume is proportional to the cube - one of the reasons why the performance of a SE does not scale in the same way as an internal combustion engine. As the size of an SE increases steps must be taken to increase the surface areas through which heat is exchanged eg adding multi-tubular hot and cold ends and mesh regenerator.

Found tilde on eee pc now:-

: Thank you for the welcome Lumos.

: You will note that I have decided to register as it seemed edits from unregistered users are treated with suspicion in some quarters. Unfortunately, even after rather reluctantly taking that step and posting what I imagined to be a constructive and even conciliatory (indicating that I might be prepared to recant on the 'hot air engine' question) piece on the Strling engine discussion page, I was treated to another agressive, bullying response to which I'm afraid I responded in kind. So, I have not found wikipedia the friendy community of people simply wishing to share their knowledge with others it is apparently supposed to be and feel shut out of the article I am probably most able to contribute productively to.

==Image source problem with Image:210px-Otto Braun4.jpg==
[[Image:Nuvola apps important blue.svg|64px|left|Image Copyright problem]]
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:210px-Otto Braun4.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.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{Tl|GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the [[GFDL]]. If you believe the media meets the criteria at [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]], use a tag such as {{tlp|non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use]].

== New Age ==

Hi Lumos

I'm writing to request your comments in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:New_Age#Millenarianism this discussion] on the talk page for [[New Age]]. It's a long discussion, mostly I thought you might be interested regarding the later portions of the thread. Thanks. --[[User:Jack-A-Roe|Jack-A-Roe]] ([[User talk:Jack-A-Roe|talk]]) 19:24, 15 May 2008 (UTC)


==Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Albert Kahn.jpg}==
Thank you for uploading '''[[:Image:Albert Kahn.jpg]]'''. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]]. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline|explanation]] linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:
:* That there is a [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline|non-free use rationale]] on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
:* That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free|image copyright tag]]; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images/media|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions, please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|media copyright questions page]]. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. [[User:STBotI|STBotI]] ([[User talk:STBotI|talk]]) 19:26, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

== Sirling engine 'waste heat' ==

Hi Lumos,

Yes,the Stirling engine does offer possibilities for utilising waste heat from other processes, but my intention in this instance was to highlight the ease with which heat from the 'cold end' of a SE can be recovered for, say, domestic water heating. In contrast to an internal combustion engine where the waste heat is split between the cooling system and exhaust gasses - recovery from the latter beng particularly challenging. This is one of the characteristics that makes the SE uniquely suited to domestic CHP. Perhaps my wording could have been better and I invite you to improve upon it whilst retaining the original meaning. [[User:Pv=mrt|Pv=mrt]] ([[User talk:Pv=mrt|talk]]) 19:19, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

:Utilisation of waste heat - I am not convinced this is real beyond marketeering. The citation does not support it. Waste heat can be utilised from any heat engine and there is nothing about a Stirling engine that seems special in this. Exhaust gases from a stirling engine combustion chamber would be as difficult to use as exhaust gases from an Internal combustion engine. Please find a citation. [[User:Lumos3|Lumos3]] ([[User talk:Lumos3#top|talk]]) 21:15, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

A Stirling engine already has a heat exchanger to remove 'waste' heat from the working fluid at the compression end, whereas practically any other prime mover would require additional exchanger(s) in CHP applications.
Stack losses from the combustion system can be reduced to a low level using a recuperative combustion air pre-heater - this is extensively explored in "The Air Engine"
Point taken though and I shall seek a suitable ref. [[User:Pv=mrt|Pv=mrt]] ([[User talk:Pv=mrt|talk]]) 21:52, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

:Well, I haven't got to the stage of trawling through back copies of 'Stirling News' yet, but so far no suitable ref has presented itself from my library (must have read it somewhere!. A quick google search produced this http://www.ingenia.org.uk/ingenia/articles.aspx?Index=108 which has a slightly oblique ref (see third para of "operation of the Stirling engine") - would that satisfy you? [[User:Pv=mrt|Pv=mrt]] ([[User talk:Pv=mrt|talk]]) 14:23, 26 May 2008 (UTC)


:: This article does not make it clear if its talking about the heat from the cold side of the engine or the waste heat from the combustion chamber. I suspect its the combustion chamber. Its clear the SE is versatile and can utislise heat in a ways that other engines cannot but the statment that its own waste heat can be particularly easily used is not supported in theory or practise. In a combined Heat and power scheme the engine is in effect running on the waste heat of the heating boiler and using it to make electricity. Its the boiler heat that is more efficiently used. [[User:Lumos3|Lumos3]] ([[User talk:Lumos3#top|talk]]) 07:39, 28 May 2008 (UTC)



Seems pretty clear to me. I quote:- "Again, in order for the engine to operate, waste heat must continuously be removed from the cool end of the engine. With Domestic CHP the heat is taken away by the water in the central heating system." The crucial (though unwritten) point being that the required heat exchanger ''is already provided as an integral part of the SE'' - not an additional unit as required with, eg, ICE based systems where around 1/2 of the rejected cycle heat must be recovered from the exhaust stream. 'Stack loss' from the SE's combustion system is another issue and, as previously indicated, is best attacked using fairly conventional recuperative techniques. Perhaps I am in danger of making a virtue out of a neccesity but comparing the packaging of, say, the ICE based Honda MCHP and SE based Microgen, it is pretty clear which is most likely to find a place in the average kitchen.

My main intention in introducing the paragraph under discussion was to provide some sort of 'why should I be interested?' content to the introduction as suggested (by yourself?) in the discussion pages a while ago and on current evidence it appears that if the SE is to achieve any significant market penetration as a prime mover (something it has signally failed to do since the late 19th century), it is likely to be as the core component of domestic scale CHP systems [[User:Pv=mrt|Pv=mrt]] ([[User talk:Pv=mrt|talk]]) 09:37, 28 May 2008 (UTC)


: I believe the current phrasing of the introduction accomplishes this as it informs the reader of the versatility of the SE and its application in CHP. I dont think your quote is clear and universally stated enough for the claim to be made in the introduction where its a little confusing unless the reader knows some background. I have no problem if you want to add it in the section on CHP in the article. [[User:Lumos3|Lumos3]] ([[User talk:Lumos3#top|talk]]) 10:53, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

I think you understand what needs to be conveyed, so if you are happy that the current wording achieves this then we'll leave it at that. [[User:Pv=mrt|Pv=mrt]] ([[User talk:Pv=mrt|talk]]) 14:59, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

: I know Wikia is not Wikipedia but this and every other press article will explain Wikia in terms of Wikipedia so there is a going to be a lot of indirect press coverage of Wikipedia from the launch.

==Speedy deletion of [[:Image:Albert Kahn.jpg]]==
[[Image:Ambox warning_pn.svg|48px|left]] A tag has been placed on [[:Image:Albert Kahn.jpg]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#I8|section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the [[Commons:Main Page|Wikimedia Commons]] under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to '''the top of [[:Image:Albert Kahn.jpg|the page that has been nominated for deletion]]''' (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''[[ Talk:Image:Albert Kahn.jpg|the talk page]]''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles|one of these admins]] to request that a copy be emailed to you. <!-- Template:Db-nowcommons-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Bjweeks|BJ]]<small><sup>[[User talk:Bjweeks|Talk]]</sup></small> 12:44, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

==Orthomolecular==
Hi there. I've been trying to find a form of words that might cover the same ground as that pseudoscience box and be acceptable to everybody involved. I think most of the editors on the page would agree that OM isn't as unreal as homeopathy or therapeutic touch, but is obviously seen as not mainstream science. Could you live with ''"This lack of serious testing of orthomolecular medicine has led to its practices being classed with other less plausible forms of alternative medicine and regarded as unscientific."''

:Your suggested wording sums up the situation as I see it. But I would qualify who is doing the regarding here. I expect you know that some in OM see a deliberate conspiracy by those who stand to profit from patented medicines to discredit forms of treatment that cannot be patented even if their efficacy has been demonstrated. I suggest a small addition.

::''"This lack of serious testing of orthomolecular medicine has led to its practices being classed with other less plausible forms of alternative medicine and regarded as unscientific by some critics."''

:In support of this we need to cite who the people are who are commenting negatively on orthomolecular medicine itself , rather than just multi/mega vitamin taking. ie the critic should mention OM directly. [[User:Lumos3|Lumos3]] ([[User talk:Lumos3#top|talk]]) 16:39, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

==Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice==
Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the [[m:Wikimania 2010/Bids/Oxford|Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference]]. Please see [[m:Wikimania 2010/Bids/Oxford#Local team|here]] for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to [[m:Wikimedia UK v2.0|the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page]] and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend [[Wikipedia:Meetup/London 13|the next London meet-up]] at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch [[Wikipedia:Meetup]], for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

== Date linking birth and death dates in articles ==

Hello, I noticed that after I delinked the birth and death dates in articles, you restored them, citing MOS. I see we have differences on opinion over what should be linked and what shouldn't. You had precedence over me in the date linking, so I won't revert you. However, I wanted to say that as of ''right now'', there is nothing in the MOS that says to link birth and death dates, and that there is no consensus in the discussion over whether that should be done or not. Thanks for your understanding, [[User:Dabomb87|Dabomb87]] ([[User talk:Dabomb87|talk]]) 13:05, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

:The status quo on Wikipedia, until now, is to link significant dates only. These have been generally understood to be birth , death and dates of historical significance. Until a consensus is reached on a guideline you have no mandate to remove date links and are seriously damaging Wikipedia's usefulness.

== Book cover ==

This is to let you know that I've orphaned the [[fair use]] image [[:Image:Framley Parsonage Penguin cover.jpg]], and replaced it with [[:Image:Framley Parsonage serialized.jpg]], an image in the [[public domain]]. For more information, see the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Free book covers|book cover replacement project]]. Thanks.[[User:Chick Bowen|Chick Bowen]] 03:46, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

:Nice work.[[User:Lumos3|Lumos3]] ([[User talk:Lumos3#top|talk]]) 16:28, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

== Date linking ==

Hey Lumos3, I noticed that you've been date linking years on articles. This form of linking is strongly discouraged, per [[WP:OVERLINK#Dates]], as is the old <nowiki>[[1 January]] [[2000]]</nowiki> style links, per [[MOS:UNLINKDATES]]. [[User:Blue-Haired Lawyer|Blue-Haired Lawyer]] 11:35, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

:I think you have misread this . Only auto formatting of dates has been deprecated. The linking of significant ( not all) dates in an article has always been part of Wikipedia's style and provides a useful chronological orientation to the reader. It allows the cultural placement of one event with what else was happening around the same time in other fields. There is an active group on Wikipedia trying to ban date linking but not consensus has been reached. [[User:Lumos3|Lumos3]] ([[User talk:Lumos3#top|talk]]) 11:41, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

::Well here's a quote:

:::"Wikipedia has articles on days of the year, years, decades, centuries and millennia. '''Stand-alone chronological links should generally not be linked, unless they are demonstrably likely to deepen readers' understanding of a topic.''' However, links to articles on a topic in a specific chronological period, such as 1441 in art, 1982 in film, and 18th century in United States history can add significantly to readers' understanding of the current topic." (my emphasis)

::How exactly am I misreading this? Given that you agree autolinking dates has been depreciated, how do you explain [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Frank_Gehry&diff=prev&oldid=244346860 this edit]? [[User:Blue-Haired Lawyer|Blue-Haired Lawyer]] 11:59, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
