Template:Infobox fluoride

Hi. I see you just created this infobox. But surely the element F is "Fluorine" - a fluoride is a salt of fluorine (just as a chloride is a salt of chlorine). -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 21:36, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. We don't do infoboxes for ions. If you feel strongly about it, bring it up with WP:CHEMISTRY and WP:ELEMENTS. Apart from that, we do not make such drastic unilateral changes to pages. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 22:26, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that; I got Fluoride mixed up with Fluorine. I made the infobox last night and didn't realize my mistake until now - I'm glad someone fixed it quickly. Not a good start. --George Makepeace (talk) 21:23, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's okay. If you're interested in chemistry, why not pop by WT:CHEMISTRY & WT:CHEMICALS, where other wikichemists are? You'll probably encounter them editing chemistry articles too. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 22:24, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Parallel light

That sentence at Lens (optics) wasn't as redundant as it seemed. A collimated beam is one where the rays are parallel to each other; they are not necessarily parallel to the optical axis. Conversely, an uncollimated beam can propagate parallel to the axis, by which we mean that the average direction of the rays in the beam is parallel to the axis (even if the individual rays are diverging). I put back the reference to collimated, but left out the use of "parallel" as a synonym, to avoid confusion.--Srleffler (talk) 00:02, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Srleffler, the idea behind removing 'collimated or parallel' was that I thought this was already implied by the fact that the light is a beam and only added confusion to the text. However, I now realize that you have a valid point; a beam is not necessarily collimated and your edit has cleared up the ambiguity that I created without introducing confusion again. --George Makepeace (talk) 16:26, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of List of countries by financial assets per capita

The article List of countries by financial assets per capita has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The source of the figures is unclear. The ref gives Household net financial wealth but per capita, and does not give debt figures. This appears to constitute original research.

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. gadfium 04:02, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dispute Dispute

Be clear please.Now explain what i asked in talk.I don't realize where you don't see broad consensus.And i've 2 degrees , working in Credit Suisse.Just this sector research.Bostongarden1942 (talk) 23:26, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I replied to your question on the talk page. — George Makepeace (talk) 00:11, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You seem like reverting my edits also in other articles.Avoid something close to personal attacks.Bostongarden1942 (talk) 03:06, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to Goliath Birdeater changed it to a less natural wording. I did not revert your edit as a personal attack; I just noticed it as I was reviewing your edit history prior to posting your final warning. Please be more careful with your deletions. — George Makepeace (talk) 03:20, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You seem aggressive in talking.Tomorrow is another day.You didn't respect 3 rule.You should be blocked.I won't report you a gift.Disputed is something on whih 2 or mor people don't agree (no consensus).All people agree you can correct in righ tway that map (if there are mistakes).I'm for peaceful developing.Peace is in your name.Let's make it true.Bostongarden1942 (talk) 03:50, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not angry at you, but your edits are disruptive and you seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of what an accuracy dispute means. You must respect other editors opinions.

It seems you don't know the meaning of words. Dispute exists when 2 people don't agre.Nobody stops you in corrct mistakes in that map.Do you realize?I'm giving you an olive branch.Sign your editing.Bostongarden1942 (talk) 04:27, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Dispute exists when 2 people don't agre". You and I don't agree, that means there is a dispute. Correcting the mistake on a map is not simple - even if I were to fix French Guiana in an image editor, how do I know there are not more mistakes, like there were with the data table in the article? In the mean time, it should be marked as disputed information. There's relatively little harm in adding a dispute notice compared with allowing false information to remain on Wikipedia without any warning. — George Makepeace (talk) 04:35, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree you can correct eventual mistakes on map so dispute doesn't exist. Don't look for something thta doesn't exist.Bostongarden1942 (talk) 04:37, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't matter if you can correct the mistakes; the mistakes are there so, by Wikipedia policy, they must be removed or at least tagged as dubious or disputed information. — George Makepeace (talk) 04:44, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I realize you don't know the meaning of dispute.Bostongarden1942 (talk) 05:44, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
