The reference desk is for legitimate questions. It is not a playground. I'm quite certain we had a previous discussion about you showing some maturity if you wish to continue editing here. The ref desk is not simply a place to satisfy your idle curiosity about every conceivable situation, especially a question like your last one. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:19, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

My comment is a personal attack if and only if this user actually does not have the capability to comprehend the difference between a real question and vandalism. By claiming that is a personal attack, this user is claiming that he/she cannot comprehend the difference between a real question and vandalism and, therefore, should not be given the freedom to use Wikipedia's Reference Desk without proper supervision. I have no problem with that. -- kainaw™ 19:37, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

I DO comprehend the difference (I just needed a little help, thank you Beebles) and am NOT the kind of user that you would classify as mentally retarded, but you CALLED me mentally retarded even though I am not, thus qualifying as a personal attack.

How do I stop http://text-enhance.com/ from advertising through random words on Wikipedia? Whoop whoop pull up Bitching Betty | Averted crashes 12:28, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

Report it to the WP:BLACKLIST. mabdul 12:56, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
The problem is, the links are apparently random, change every time you reload the page, and do not show up in the page history - see Main Page and Battle of Gonzales.
Sry, but three things (although this might sound stupid):

I did that... but does anyone else have a problem with it advertising on random words of random articles? Whoop whoop pull up Bitching Betty | Averted crashes 14:29, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
Again, Wikipedia is not using any advertisement and thus you shouldn't see any. If you see any, then it is either a donation banner, you are not on Wikipedia (see my advise with the address bad) or you have a computer with problems (like adware). Please read WP:REUSE why there are tons of pages out there using the content of Wikipedia (the most famous may be facebook). mabdul 15:38, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

There are editors who promote a "Second Korean War" theme. Along the same lines, some say the Korean War never technically/legally ended. Very little reputable scholarship supports either idea.

Helium-2

Hi. Re your edits today on Isotopes of helium, could you please provide a source for the claim that positron emission 2He → 2H has been observed. As I have explained on Talk:Isotopes of helium, beta decays are so much slower than the claimed half-life of 2He that this decay should not really be observable.

I would also like to ask if you know the source of the half-life value of 2He inserted on 5 Nov 2011 by a numbered editor. 3 x 10-27 s is really too short to be possible, since it corresponds to the protons flying apart at 1000 times the speed of light (for a nuclear distance of 10-15 m).

There is no listing for 2He in the general references (NUBASE etc.) provided for the table. Please reply at Talk:Isotopes of helium. Thanks. Dirac66 (talk) 02:27, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

RE. Anti-Columbus userboxes

No he didn't. Commanders of armies caused the murders. Columbus simply found the continent. Vought109 (talk) 00:48, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Columbus caused the first murders, set the precedent for later murders, and did NOT discover the continent. Whoop whoop pull up Bitching Betty | Averted crashes 00:55, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
I agree, Columbus wan't the first to discover the continent. But saying that he caused the murder of ten million native americans would be like prosecuting a serial killer's parents for raising a child who would grow up to be a serial killer. Columbus' men may have killed several indians but he certainly did not murder 10,000,000 of them. Vought109 (talk) 00:19, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
He set the precedent. If he hadn't started the murders, they would have been much less common as conquistadores worried about breaking the precedent. Whoop whoop pull up Bitching Betty | Averted crashes 00:21, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Do you have any references to prove your theory right? Vought109 (talk) 00:26, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
He did set the precedent. Whoop whoop pull up Bitching Betty | Averted crashes 00:27, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Again, all you have is a theory, not any actual evidence to prove that he set the 'precedent.' Vought109 (talk) 00:29, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
He was the first to murder them. Who else would have set the precedent?
And a theory is generally accepted as fact. Thank you for calling it a theory. Whoop whoop pull up Bitching Betty | Averted crashes 00:31, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Ask any philosopher or scientist and they will tell you that a theory is never a fact until it has been reasonably proven, which you have failed to do so far. Vought109 (talk) 01:03, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Ask any scientist and they will tell you that a theory is a hypothesis which is generally accepted as fact. Whoop whoop pull up Bitching Betty | Averted crashes 01:05, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Your figure of how 10,000,000 native americans were murdered is misleading. A sizeable chunk of that figure were killed during legitimate warefare with Europeans, such as Red Cloud's War. Whereas another sizeable chunk of that figure were killed fighting against each other when they alligned with foreign powers, such as the French and Indian War. Vought109 (talk) 01:13, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Shut up, leave me alone and respect my opinion. Whoop whoop pull up Bitching Betty | Averted crashes 01:15, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Then thank you! Whoop whoop pull up Bitching Betty | Averted crashes 01:24, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
I am merely saying that nobody deserves a damnatio memoriae no matter how 'evil' he or she was. Because as George Santayana said: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Vought109 (talk) 01:28, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Calling Columbus "worse than Stalin" has to be seen as satirical. Stalin murdered 6 million of his countrymen. Columbus at his worst couldn't imagine those kind of numbers. You have to see the satire and irony behind the editor's userboxes. (The fact he calls them "userboxen" is a clue.) ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 07:22, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
If he was trying to be satirical he could have said so upfront. Instead, he continued to argue with his unproven theory. Calling someone evil and saying that person murdered 10,000,000 people is not satirical. OKelly (talk) 09:26, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
It doesn't really matter. Whatever Columbus might or might not have done was 500 years ago, and it's merely water under the bridge of the Santa Maria. If the editor wants to fantasize that Columbus was a mass-murderer, there's no harm. And if he actually believes it, there's still no harm, other than it making him look like an ignoranimus. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 09:38, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
I thought you were done making personal attacks? Whoop whoop pull up Bitching Betty | Averted crashes 11:07, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
What personal attack? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 11:14, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
I highly doubt that calling someone an "ignoramus" (which you even misspelled) could be counted as anything but a personal attack. Whoop whoop pull up Bitching Betty | Averted crashes 11:21, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
No, I said it makes you look like an ignoranimus, which is not the same thing as saying you are one. P.S. "Ignoranimus" is an inside joke, a Bugs Bunny catch-phrase. :) [1]←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 11:27, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Agreed, thanks for your common sense. OKelly (talk) 09:48, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Whoop whoop pull up, stop thinking that every criticism against you is apersonal attack. Baseball bugs was merely trying to diffuse the tension. OKelly (talk) 05:09, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
The editor is clearly astute on a number of subjects. Maybe Columbus just isn't one of them. :) ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 12:56, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Query

It is what? Materialscientist (talk) 00:50, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

An element. Whoop whoop pull up Bitching Betty | Averted crashes 00:52, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
Reliable reference for neutronium = element? Said by what international body? Materialscientist (talk) 00:56, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
When Andreas von Antropoff coined the word "neutronium" in 1926, he used to refer to the "element of atomic number zero" (my emphasis). Also, the Chemical Galaxy and many other spiral versions of the periodic table include it as element number zero. And it is commonly used to refer to an element composed solely of neutrons. Whoop whoop pull up Bitching Betty | Averted crashes 01:04, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
The "established" and/or "reliable" parts are missing, as summarized in neutronium. I would rather think of it as a hypothetical state of matter. Materialscientist (talk) 02:20, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Your recent changes to Template:Compact periodic table

Both conventions for the transition metals (groups 3 to 11 or groups 3 to 12) are widespread and IUPAC allows both. (Source: [2].) If you are using the group 3 to 11 definition, I would think that one Hg compound produced at extreme conditions is not really enough to move it to the transition metals. (W. B. Jensen agrees: [3].) We still call the noble gases "noble gases" even though they can react. It is not completely certain that Uuq is a noble gas. There were similar reports for Cn, but it is actually a transition metal. Double sharp (talk) 03:17, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Exactly one compound is greater than exactly none. There is only one compound of gold(V), but does that make that particular oxidation state not exist? And mercury(IV) fluoride has been shown to truly be mercury(IV) fluoride, with true (IV) oxidation state activity, so should it be thrown out on the sole basis of being unique and hard to synthesise? I should think not! Whoop whoop pull up Bitching Betty | Averted crashes 03:31, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
It does not really matter as Wikipedia uses the group 3 to 12 definition (as IUPAC allows both). However, treating HgF4 as an exception to the normal chemistry of mercury is not the same as denying its existence. Also, you changed Lu and Lr from the lanthanides and actinides to transition metals. However, Lu and Lr are defined as lanthanides and actinides by IUPAC ([4], page 63 in the PDF, but page 51 by the page numbers). "Transition metal" is defined by IUPAC as group 3 to 12 elements (sometimes not including group 12), but which elements are in group 3 is disputed, so I think we should leave well enough alone. Double sharp (talk) 11:27, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
Your changes at Template:Compact extended periodic table have also been reverted. Inserting the g-block makes the table too wide. We do not colour astatine as a metalloid in Template:Compact periodic table, and it is instead coloured as a halogen. Neither should the chemical series information for the heavy halogens and noble gases be changed. Double sharp (talk) 12:37, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
You appear to have made your changes again at Template:Compact extended periodic table. I've already explained this to you above and I will revert such changes in future. Please do not change Lu/Lr and their column to transition metals and Zn and Cd to post-transition metals unless you get a consensus to do so (which seems unlikely, considering what the former issue resulted in years ago).

Molecular shapes

Hello. I've reverted all your changes to the molecular shapes articles again. The effect was to move the TOC and lead section to a position in the centre of the page where they floated, leaving a large blank space beneath the picture you had inserted. I have no objection to you adding illustrations of molecules with these geometries to the articles, but please consider the page layout first. I refer you to the style manual:

Do not place images on the left at the start of any section or subsection. Images on the left must be placed somewhere after the first paragraph.

Uue as an alkali metal

Please note that Ununennium is not known to be an alkali metal. Due to relativistic effects, it may be somewhere completely different, similar to how Ununquadium is possibly a noble gas instead of an other metal, and how Ununoctium is probably not a noble gas. Please seek consensus before changing stuff like this in the future. Thank you. StringTheory11 04:38, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Helionum

Google Scholar finds two mentions of helionium, both referring to anti-protonic 3He (I was in error in reading it as 4He). Google Books finds one mention of helionum, again referring to anti-protonic 3He. A general Google search, once one eliminates the youtube user account, and copies of Wikipedia, finds one ArXiv article, possibly not independent of the relevant chapter of the book, also referring to anti-protonic 3He. I see no evidence that helionium refers to the helium hydride ion. Lavateraguy (talk) 10:39, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Come to think of it, it's also questionable as to whether the hydrohelium cation falls within the spirit of the onium compound page. The other cations occur, at least in substituted form, as cations in ionic compounds. The hydrohelium cation isn't known to do so. (It's only known from low density environments.)

Zombie articles

Hi - You recently participated in a move proposal discussion regarding articles about zombies and zombie pop culture archived at Talk:Zombie. That proposal was not approved, and a new discussion is taking place at Talk:Zombie (fictional) that is narrower in scope, and concerns only whether the older Voodoo and newer Romero zombie pop culture should be included in the same article or whether it should be separated. These are articles that receive a lot of hits, and should probably get more input than just the two editors having the current discussion. I'm flagging all old move discussion participants regarding the new discussion, and your input would be appreciated. LaTeeDa (talk) 21:47, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia III: Revenge of Jimbo

The third Wikipedia movie is unfinished, and I would like to finish it. I have been adding a few scenes, but that is not enough. Since you are the primary writer of the third movie, I kindly ask you to continue adding to it until we reach an end. Thank you for your consideration.

Advice on page formatting for a USERBOX?

Because who can resist a userbox?? Well... I mean, probably lots of people... but not you!!

I'm sure I will figure it out eventually... but I don't know what's going on with my page, or why it doesn't fall neatly into sections. Do I need to use different formatting on user pages than in regular articles?

Also, a thought just occurred to me, previously I saw formatting issues on this monitor at work, but not on others. I wonder if this is the same issue, and the hour I just spent was wasted. Well, I'll delete this shortly if my pages displays correctly on another computer. Anyway, here is the tantalizing barnstorm reward for you.

About your userpage? Just press "enter" enough times to move the section below the other material. Whoop whoop pull up Bitching Betty | Averted crashes 15:30, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
Oh.. I was worried that that solution would give different results on different screen sizes/resolutions. (The text beside the dragon icon, for example, has the desired spacing on some screens, where the words start below instead of wrapping to the right, but on other screens it wraps. If I move the words down on the big screen, there's a huge space underneath on the other screens.

Anyway, thanks for your solution-- it works well enough for me either way!Dr.queso = talk 18:10, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

You're welcome. (Can you have the userbox say you bought me something nonalcoholic? I'm only fourteen.) Whoop whoop pull up Bitching Betty | Averted crashes 21:25, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

Edit warring on Astatine monoiodide

You aren't near 3RR yet but there's a talk page available for a reason. Use it.--Jasper Deng (talk) 06:55, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

VSEPR, AtI, talk pages

Hi Whoop whoop pull up,

I've noticed you are becoming a little too strident in your editing. Please use the talk pages more before making controversial edits to articles such as astatine monoiodide and VSEPR theory. Your edits will face much less resistance if you explain your reasoning clearly and allow your arguments to be debated. You will not get very far if you keep trying to impose content despite genuine and serious concerns from fellow edits. It is particularly important that your provide citations to references for all substantial new content.

As far as VSEPR is concerned, adding odd electron species makes the table much longer and more complicated. If you really think such species need to be discussed in detail, (i) propose the idea first at Talk:VSEPR theory and (ii) do not update the article VSEPR theory itself until you have consensus. I would prefer odd electron species to be listed in a separate section. You should note that chemistry textbooks generally do not list odd-electron species in their discussion of VSEPR theory, and that VSEPR is generally not applied to compounds of transition metals, lanthanides or actinides. Stick to reliable sources (just follow mainstream chemistry textbooks) and take advice from the experienced chemists at WT:CHEMISTRY.

Best wishes, --Ben (talk) 10:23, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Valences

Please see Template talk:Periodic table (valence). Briefly: valence ≠ number of bonds an element can form. R8R Gtrs made that mistake last time and got whacked at the link I gave you. Double sharp (talk) 06:25, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

About HArF: I thought you'd earlier said that it doesn't contain Ar(II), having H: +1, Ar: 0, F: −1? (I do in fact think it has Ar(II).) Double sharp (talk) 09:40, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
This is not a table of oxidation states. And if valence is not the number of bonds an element can form, than explain to me what it is. Whoop whoop pull up Bitching Betty | Averted crashes 14:24, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
Oxidation states is an updated form of the valence concept. Read the valence (chemistry) article more carefully (I agree that it is not especially well written): "The valence of an element depends on the number of valence electrons that may be involved in the forming of valence bonds." So, for example, CH+
5 has a valence of 4, not 5. Also, TcH2−
9 and ReH2−
9 have valence 7, not 9. The hypothetical PtO2+
4, though, would have a valence of 10, and not 8, if it existed. (It definitely doesn't have valence 4, even though the Pt is forming 4 bonds, showing that valence isn't always the number of bonds! Otherwise Os would have maximum valence 6 with OsF
6 and not 8 with OsO
4, which isn't the case.) (It has been predicted, but hasn't been observed.) Double sharp (talk) 07:03, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

Superactinides

No, the superactinides stop at Upt, as has been referenced. Whether you think it is logical for Usu–Ust to be included is irrelevant. (Nobody reliable seems to have invented a term for the elements just below the superactinides: the most I could find is apsidium.com's "eka-superactinides", which is logical but unreliable and so shouldn't be used.) Don't make personal decisions about facts. (Note: Ubn is not a superactinide by any remotely logical definition.) Double sharp (talk) 07:00, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

...and you have edited {{Compact extended periodic table}} to use "eka-superactinide" and change all the colours to your own fancy, ignoring the WP:ELEM standards, how useful yours is to the reader (not very; the chalcogens obscure the metalloids, and hydrogen is a nonmetal), and despite me telling you that "eka-superactinide" is nowhere near being standard. If you don't stop this trend of editing, you're heading towards another block. (Not from me; I'm not an admin. But given that this isn't the first time you've done something like this, and that this isn't the first time you've been warned for it, you really are headed for one.) Double sharp (talk) 11:39, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
Since you've repeated your edit despite me telling you why it's in fact misinformation, I have reported you at WP:AIV. Double sharp (talk) 08:13, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
Sorry about that, feel free to revert it (I must not have seen this message). Whoop whoop pull up Bitching Betty | Averted crashes 09:28, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
Reverted. I've removed the report because of your statement that you didn't see this message. In future, please try to check your talk page more frequently. Double sharp (talk) 11:06, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
Because of this, we have a discussion on WT:ELEM on what to colour Usu, Usb, and Ust as. They're not superactinides, but there really isn't any accurate, reliable term for them, and the superactinides are the closest. Double sharp (talk) 13:13, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Template:Compact extended periodic table, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Double sharp (talk) 10:39, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
