Hi. When you recently edited Cannibalism in popular culture, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Procne and Philomela (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi MinorProphet - This looks very good! I'm afraid you'll have to wait for at least a week (or rather ten days or so) for further comments from me, since I am very busy with (real-life, number-theoretical) work... Garald (talk) 22:23, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
Number theory
Sorry for having been out of action for so long. Your proposed edits look very good; please go ahead and carry them out. On Vardi´s comments on Archimedes - make cautious statements and reference them carefully (cite both Vardi and the works he cites); I am not sure of whether there is a consensus there.

What does that make cementite? Plasmic Physics (talk) 00:49, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
- Hmm, an interesting one. Is cementite a compound or an alloy? Does light behave like waves or particles? Technically (and to avoid a direct answer) you could call cementite an iron-carbon alloy phase. In its purest form, it is classified as a ceramic. To recap and to remind myself:
- Cementite is the crystalline form of iron carbide, a hard, brittle, stoichiometric, intermetallic, metastable iron-carbon phase (or crystal structure) found in steel alloys. It has the strict chemical formula Fe3C (e.tc.), unlike other iron-carbon phases which are non-stoichiometric and are formed within a range of proportions.
- In eutectoid steel (Fe + 0.83 wt% C), ferrite (effectively pure iron) and cementite grow co-operatively as a lamellar mixture (or microstructure), pearlite.
- In hypereutectoid steel (Fe + >0.77 wt% C) the structure is mostly pearlite with small grains of extra cementite scattered throughout.
- White cast iron contains mostly monoclinic cementite with some silicon, making it very hard and brittle with limited ductility. Cementite is a metastable iron-carbon phase, and will decompose into stable graphite given the right conditions: namely, a higher silicon content and slower cooling of the molten mixture results in grey cast, containing graphite. Phase diagrams, etc. On a slight tangent, I came across this paper on Mechanical properties of cementite. > MinorProphet (talk) 19:04, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
- I did further research, and found that scandium hydride in this context is a substance held together by metallic bonding. Metallic bonding is found within alloys and metals. I've also found that "compound" and "alloy" are not mutually exclusive terms. Plasmic Physics (talk) 13:45, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
The Miracle (1912 film)
Regarding your question at the Help Desk: as you've perhaps seen, the history merge that you requested is now complete. For future reference, you don't have to do this (it's fine to copy/paste something you wrote in userspace to create a new mainspace article), but of course there's also nothing wrong with moving pages or requesting history merges. Nyttend (talk) 13:58, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you for your helpful message, I also thanked User:Anthony_Appleyard, who did the merge. I think it was just a case of me being in a hurry, not knowing exactly what to do, and not bothering to find out. > MinorProphet (talk) 08:41, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
- The subject of this article seems to be (with a few significant differences) the same film dealt with in the article Das Mirakel (1912 film). I have started a content-merge discussion at Talk:The Miracle (1912 film). Cheers!--ShelfSkewed Talk 15:55, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

(Moved by MinorProphet to the end of the page)
Goodness! How complicated it is finding ones way round Wikipedia contributors' pages! I hope this message reaches you to thank you for your comprehensive response to my query regarding a new article about F.Newman Turner. As you surmise, it is my first attempt at a proper article (for WP) other than some minor editorial corrections.
As this is a biographical piece, relying on unpublished sources, such as minutes, letters, and diaries in the family archive, it may be difficult to give citations to every statement but I will follow through on your recommendations as far as I can. Also, I was leaving formatting to the final submission process but you have kindly done this in the edit. I shall add the WikiLinks where they are relevant. I will also need to add a photograph, which, presumably, is done following the 'upload images' protocol.
Thanks again and I may well be in need of further help!

- Hi Roger, welcome to the weird and wonderful world of Wikipedia!
- Please add new sections at the end of discussions or user talk pages - just click the "New Section" button on a talk page. To indent further posts when adding to an existing discussion, begin each new paragraph with one or more colons as the first character. Then please sign your name at the end of each post by typing four tildes like this: ~~~~ .
- I should point out that diaries and letters are known as primary source material, which is not allowed in references on WP. See WP:VERIFY. Wikipedia requires reliable secondary sources such as printed books, jounals, etc., or the internet in some cases. Although some statements can be flagged like this [citation needed] or like this:2015-6-22[according to whom?] but these tend to detract from an article's overall reliability. I can appreciate the trouble you have taken to write the article, but if there are too many unreferenced statements they will tend to be ruthlessly excised in the early stages. Please add more references to any further reliable sources you can find; it's best to prune heavily, and to present an article for submission with as few un-reffed statements as possible. After the article is approved and makes it to Wikipedia mainspace there tends to be less scrutiny, and various details could be judiciously added without too much trouble, as it were.>MinorProphet (talk) 13:20, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Alfred Karney Young
Hi there. I see you've put together an excellent article in your own user space about Alfred Karney Young, former Chief Justice of Fiji. I was going to write an article about him myself when a search turned up yours. In my opinion, this article is more than ready to go "live" — so please move it to the main article space. You may think it's not "perfect" yet — but no Wikipedia article will ever be. If you need help moving it, you can ask me or any other administrator. Cheers!

- Just to keep you in the loop: (1) I've moved the page to Alfred Karney Young, because that's what he's generally known as. That's left a broken redirect, which I haven't fixed, because I've gotten into trouble before for editing another editor's user page; (2) I think his father, W. A. G. Young is notable enough to have his own article, so I've spliced that one off. That one needs quite a bit more work, but that can/will come later. (3) Some of his other relatives mentioned in the family tree section might be notable enough for articles of their own, too, but I'm not sure. I'll Google their names tomorrow and see what comes up :-) David Cannon (talk) 12:40, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Sir Richard Ingoldsby (knighted 1617)
Hello MinorProphet. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Sir Richard Ingoldsby (knighted 1617), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: G7 template in error? this is a mainspace article, and others have contributed. I guess you meant to tag User:MinorProphet/Sir Richard Ingoldsby (knighted 1617), so I have deleted that. JohnCD (talk) 19:52, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi MinorProphet,
As it is currently written, Opera in Chicago is not a valid disambiguation page. You could rename this page as List of Opera Houses in Chicago to keep the list of opera houses and companies, but it currently fails the guidelines of a disambiguation page at Wikipedia:Disambiguation. Alternatively, you could make a historical article about the history of opera in Chicago. Thanks, Natg 19 (talk) 00:10, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your recent articles, including Jean Vesque de Puttelange, which I read with interest.

WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages
Thank you for your recent articles, including Jean Vesque de Puttelange, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like {{WikiProject Keyword}} to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Wikipedia:Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:31, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Fred Lanchester
Hi MP, I am no expert on Lanchester but two things do concern me: Grace's Guide is not always reliable and, I have corrected it, the idea that the Daimler-Knight engine was a waste of time. It was a commercial success for 25 years before Daimler acknowledged that advances made with other valve systems had outmoded it. Perhaps sounder citations might be found than Grace's. Eddaido (talk) 03:28, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for your comments, Eddaido. Much of the info I used from the Grace's Guide articles is relatively well-referenced, I can substitute the original sources if you like, and I'll try to hunt down to better cites. The negative comments about the double sleeve-valve are actually Ricardo's, taken directly from the Royal Society obituary article. Perhaps they would be better off in double quotes. Ricardo was a proponent of the single sleeve-valve engine, which continued to power aircraft from the early 1930s until the jet era. MinorProphet (talk) 04:14, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
- Perhaps Ricardo is more famous than Lanchester but feelings do creep in to histories don't they. I'll have a look a the Grace's Guide citations in the same way. Thanks, Eddaido (talk) 04:17, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Well, the last message aimed specifically at me was on 10 October 2016, which means I have kept my nose utterly clean for three whole months. Not even a "Did you mean xxxx"....?-type-bot, so hurrah for me for checking (or guessing correctly) every single WL wot I did do for 90 days. Thanks @DPL bot:, you taught me in the end. ????... hmmm, close, I meant ~~~~

Non-free image use
Hi MinorProphet. The licensing of each image you see on Wikipedia is determined by its copyright status and not every image file you see on Wikipedia is licensed the same. Some files are licensed as public domain or licensed under a free licensed suitable for Wikipedia and these are often collectively referred to as "free images". Other files are licensed as non-free content because of their copyright status and these file are commonly referred to as "non-free images". Non-free image use is highly restricted and each use of such an an image must satisfy Wikipedia's non-free content use policy. One of these restrctions is WP:NFCC#9, which says that non-free content can only be used in the article namespace. Non-free content should not be used on usepages or their subpages as explained in WP:UP#Non-free files which is why I have removed File:Arnoldo Conti.jpg from User:MinorProphet/Draft subpages/Maurice Grau. Actually, I didn't remove it in the traditional sense of the word; I instead converted it to a link which is allowed by relevant policy. Anyway, perhaps you did not notice the edit sum I left the first time I "removed" the image, so I'm posting this here to provide more explanation. Please do not re-display this file again because doing so is clearly in violation of relevant Wikipedia policy. If you have any questions about this, you can ask for help at WP:MCQ or WT:NFCC. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:02, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar | |
This Barnstar is awarded to Minor Prophet whose kind act arrived just in time to prevent a wikibreakdown. I had found myself working on three huge wikipedia article at the same time, surrounded by 30 or 40 books, 3 or 4 photo and 33mm slide albums and talking to my computer in a way that made even my dog concerned about me. In the middle of my yelling “No more, no more!” I got a message that I had a wikimessage and I screamed “NO, no, no, no” but clicked on it anyway and it was Minor Prophet with an unsolicited solution to a formatting problem that I had posted about a day or so ago. It made me pause, realize that it was 1:30 in the afternoon and I had not eaten breakfast, which made me realize that wikipedia would do just fine if I took a break. So I did. After breakfast/lunch I repaired the tattered dust jackets on two books before reshelving them, I put away two dozen other references and am about to just leave the house for some sort of short trip. But first, this thanks. Carptrash (talk) 20:32, 9 September 2017 (UTC) |

musical references
Thank you for quality articles around film and music not only in minor, such as Ufa-Pavillon am Nollendorfplatz, Piano Concerto (Busoni) and List of compositions by César Franck, for explaining the joy of sfn, for gnomish help, for the links between "your" articles made visible, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

- Not "mine", but everyone's, for free. Keep the flame burning. MinorProphet (talk) 22:18, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
- I am open to a better wording, put it in quotation marks to indicate it's not "your articles" ;) - I'd have a hard time to arrange "mine" in such a neat flow, because the filling of red links in one here, somewhere else the next day, doesn't lead to such logical order. Today, it was an opera. Tomorrow, it will be a vocalist, both related to former work, but not to each other. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:26, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
