In your list of GPS satellites, I believe there is an error or it is not up to date. The last GPS PRN 28 is listed having retired on June 23, 2021, yet I see plenty of tracking data of PRN 28 after that date, even well into 2022. Is there a new PRN 28? Or did the old one (block III) remain operational? Many thanks. Ssleroy (talk) 13:53, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I noticed you unilaterally changed the timezones in timeline of spaceflight articles. When making changes like this, particularly if they affect this many pages, they really should be discussed first. This is the second time I have raised a concern about your editing in the last week, and I am particularly concerned that I am having to raise such issues with an administrator, who I would expect to have known better. --GW… 07:23, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure I'm right, so I want ahead and reverted your changes, but your input is still appreciated. Technically, the "on time marker" is an instant, not a second; it's the instant of the leading (falling) edge of the :00 marker bit. (Think of someone saying "start the countdown on my mark... mark!") See http://tf.nist.gov/stations/wwvbtimecode.htm and its arrow to "On time point A." Thus it's a bad name for the leading marker bit, as it's just similar enough to be confusing. Just below the diagram, though, there's a list of time code bits:

• 1 PPM frame reference markers
• Binary-coded decimal year and time-of-year code word (31 bits)
• 6 PPM position identifier markers (P₀ thru P₅)

That suggests to me that "frame reference marker" is an official name for the leading bit. 71.41.210.146 (talk) 00:10, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'd also like to question this edit. Do you really think that's a better explanation of the DST bits? While the DST1/DST2 definition isn't the same phrasing that NIST uses, it is equivalent and seems extremely unambiguous. This is a stylistic matter, not a factual one, so I'm not going to start an edit war over it, but I'm not sure that's an improvement. 71.41.210.146 (talk) 07:32, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Er, what do you mean "as of 00:00Z today" and "as of 24:00Z today" don't make any sense? Could you explain in more detail; they seem perfectly sensible (not to mention simple, clear, and absolutely unambiguous) to me. Um... Are you perhaps unfamiliar with the ISO 8601 time format I'm using for clarity and conciseness? 00:00Z means the beginning of the day, Zulu (UTC) time. 24:00Z means the end of the day. Bit 58 is set if and only if DST is in effect at the beginning of the day. Bit 57 is set if and only if DST is in effect at the end of the day. 71.41.210.146 (talk) 07:52, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, what the **** do you have against this edit, which you also reverted? 71.41.210.146 (talk) 07:58, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, call me confused. The separate bits definition very much does match the definition in the graphic. If you say that it doen't match, could you give an example situation when they would produce different results? I agree the words don't match, but that's the point: two equivalent definitions let the reader pick whichever they prefer. And ISO 8601 is the standard for writing dates and times unambiguously. As Date and time notation documents, the only formal standard that differs is RFC2822; RFC2445 and RFC3339 both use ISO 8601-compatible syntax. (Date and time notation by country varies greatly in year-month-day ordering, but not much in time notation.) It's extremely widely used, particularly by people working with precision timekeeping — who are also the people who care about the WWVB signal format. 71.41.210.146 (talk) 08:41, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No need to reply, just appreciating the much improved appearance. 71.41.210.146 (talk) 11:48, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Changing .fr back to .fx: Swine flu hasn't been reported in French Guiana or French Polynesia or New Caledonia or Saint-Pierre et Miquelon yet" Nor has it been reported in Alaska and Hawaii, yet other users insisted on including those. If we are going to include exclaves of one country that is marked on the map, we should include exclaves of all the countries marked on the map. Also, you are incorrect, as ".fr" does not include French Polynesia or New Caledonia or St Pierre et Miquelon. It only includes those areas which are part of France - which includes French Guiana, Reunion, Martinique, and Guadeloupe. So either put back .fr, or remove Alaska and Hawaii. We must be consistent. --Golbez (talk) 05:10, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:256Hz.ogg. 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.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 12:38, 12 July 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:38, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:KHQ-TV.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 03:55, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Denelson83

The Yuma Almanac for week 521, found at http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/gps/almanacs.htm says that PRN 08 is in orbit and healthy. yet I find it nowhere in List of GPS satellite launches . What is the reason for this? RHB100 (talk) 21:30, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a reference to back up this edit? I have not seen anything indicating that there will be another Delta IV launch this year after WGS-3 in September and that the Block IIF satellites would not launch until next year. As you should know, all additions should be properly sourced to reliable sources, so please rectify this omission. -MBK₀₀₄ 21:32, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Even if WGS-3 wasn't going to be launched first, that date would be impossible. A Delta IV takes about three months to process. Given a WGS launch on 30 September, that would give 22 days for turnaround, which is out of the question (and WGS looks likely to slip into October anyway). --GW… 22:04, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Denelson
I notice I just infringed your copyright by using your image with the parameter |link=, which renders it unlinked to the image page, like , thus probably not fulfilling your GFDL/CC-BY-SA attribution request.
It's being used thusly at the Wikipedia:Article wizard2.0 ff., by way of a template, and since it's used on buttons where newbie editors are supposed to click without ending up at the image page, it really needs to be linked to the target page.
This leaves me with two options, to get myself off the hook: I either replace the image on the buttons with one that has no attribution requirements, or I convince you to waive your attribution requirement, either for that template or completely. :)
Since yours is really the most beautiful right-pointed arrow and I would very much like to keep using it, would you consider the second option and spare me painting my own arrow? :)
Thanks for thinking about it, and no worries if you decide to stick with your original license.

PS I made some (actually quite a bit of) additions to the Departure Bay article you started. Tell me what you think.

About the Ferries "weasel" wording. I wasn't sure how to change it. I would consider "similar" to be a bit misleading in the opposite direction, because, of the little bit of (off computer) BC Ferries history I've read, it was actually meant to be different (due to the labour difficulties at the time and the nature of the service). Would you be okay if I added "alternative to," as that drops the value judgment (as your "similar") does, but does not imply that the structure / intent of the Crown corp. was meant to be "similar" to the private corps? Other ideas?

In September 2008, you requested an SVG version of File:Flgraphic.png. I made such a version today with Inkspace and Emacs. The PNG file is 29365 bytes; the SVG is 39326 bytes but gzip compresses it to 5685. Before uploading this, I'd like to verify the licence. The PNG has been tagged as being in the public domain in the United States, but what does that mean for me in the EU? Was the picture published by the US government and when? The PNG has been derived from File:Flgraphic.jpg, but that one has apparently been deleted from Wikipedia and I can't find any copyright information about it. 85.23.32.64 (talk) 18:15, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Denelson83,

May I ask why you keep removing my text added to the wiki Marine VHF page? I have done extensive testing of marine VHFs and am an authority in the field in the US. The comments I added are not spam, they are up to date additions to the otherwise fairly antiquated wiki page. I mean, common on, the radio photo featured is over five years old. That is simply an eternity in the marine electronics area. I'd post a good recent radio photo, but am not sure how to do. Nor do I want everything I do ripped down because you think it is spam. I think the links out to my site add significant material for those interested in this subject matter.

Hello, The Republic of China (Taiwan) is forced to compete under Chinese Taipei as its designated title. However, I believe it's not just my freedom of speech, but along with the 23 million Republic of China citizens and any loyal supporters of the ROC and Taiwan. In 2009, the ROC (Taiwan) hosted two international sports events: the 2009 Kaohsiung World Games and the 2009 Taipei Deaflympics. Both times, the President of the ROC opened the games as the President of the ROC (not as Chinese Taipei). The IOC requests that the ROC (Taiwan) use the title Chinese Taipei for international sports events and NOC committees. The Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee respects the IOC decision (which is truly the pressure from the PRC and their disgustful acts of bullying)and follows the policies (i.e. using the Chinese Taipei Olympic flag, using the Chinese Taipei title, and using the Republic of China Flag anthem to sub for the National Anthem of the ROC); however, citizens, the government, and etc. don't belong or fall under the direction of the IOC. Thus, the ROC government and its citizens have the complete right to use the title the Republic of China (Taiwan) and to bring in our national flag into these sporting events, and so anybody else. There is also confusion between the PRC (Communist mainland) and the ROC (Taiwan) for most foreigners and westerners. The title and explanation of the usage of "Chinese Taipei" is usually altered to imply that the ROC (Taiwan) belongs to the PRC (mainland). For example, the Mandarin translation of "Chinese Taipei": in the mainland would be 中國臺北 (Zhōngguó Táiběi), but the correct translation in the ROC (Taiwan) and internationally should be 中華臺北 (Zhōnghuá Táiběi). As a Chinese/Taiwanese-Canadian living in Vancouver, I'm hoping that you can respect the freedom of speech and human rights by allowing the "Republic of China (Taiwan) - competes as Chinese Taipei" or similar to be the title of the ROC under the Participating Nations for the Vancouver 2010 Olympics article.

What is the reference for the -15dB and -30dB levels of 100Hz?

The various PDFs I've found at the NIST site, for example http://tf.nist.gov/general/pdf/1383.pdf (Jan 2002) and http://tf.nist.gov/general/pdf/1969.pdf (Jan 2005), speak only of "75% modulation". There is no indication that there is any 100 Hz in the red periods in your diagram.

Nevertheless, a sonogram of a recent capture of WWV does show that 100 Hz is continuous through the second interval. The only time I see it absent is during the minute marker.

The not-quite-"off" state seems, though, to be 20 dB below the "on" state rather than 15.

I understand that this was changed at one point, but I'm pretty sure it was prior to 2002. Jeh (talk) 07:19, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that this file is not describing the sound /œ/ (as stated on its description page, and on Commons categories), but the sound /ø/.

The result is still not satisfactory. More precisely, for what I hear,

• commons:File:Open-mid front rounded vowel.ogg is still a close-mid front rounded vowel, while
• commons:File:Close-mid front rounded vowel.ogg is quite near of an open-mid front rounded vowel.

Hi - I was admiring your ZIP code map "ZIP_code_zones.png" and am working on a project that will require me to identify a person's state of residence from their ZIP code. I was wondering what your source for this map is? Thanks! George R. Brumder (talk) 19:40, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that quick response. I'm actually looking for the site (or other reference) from which you obtained the DATA for the map (e.g. that ZIP codes in Oregon all start with "97" or, for the way I'm looking at it, any ZIP code that starts with "97" is in Oregon...

Sorry to be so dense--and thank you for your help so far--but I just can't seem to find your source. I followed your link and ended up with several conflicting tables (I tried reconciling this one: http://pe.usps.gov/text/dmm300/L002.htm to your table and quickly made a mess of things. I'm selling something online that I'm not allowed to sell to people in certain states and to prevent people from lying about their state, I need to check their state against their ZIP. I could get in big trouble with 'the man' if my list isn't correct. I'd prefer to use your table, but need an official source in case someone asks, So, again, I'm sorry to be such a PIA but I could really use your further help. Many THANKS!

Thanks for uploading File:Bc77.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Hi Denelson83,

I have found one of your graphics of the compass rose very useful for illustrating sectors (defined by me for the purposes of my particular study) in my thesis. In the case of my work, I have studied historic German-Russian farmsteads in the Dakotas. To discuss the placement of various buildings and features, I have divided the compass rose in to 8 sectors which are based upon the 32 direction azimuths. I would like to use your image with my modifications in my thesis. The image I am referring to is this image: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Compass_Card.png

I don't particularly understand the licensing agreements regarding GNU Free Documentation. I posted a query at the WikiCommons help desk and there it was suggested that I would be best off asking you for the permission directly. I do not want to commit copyright infringement by not completeing my end of any user agreement due to my confusion. My thesis will be available at my school (the University of Southern Mississippi) and could be accessed by library users, as well as through interlibrary loan and possibly via the dissertation and thesis database known as ProQuest. In addition, I am providing copies of the thesis (when complete) to the pertinent historical societies, as well as the landowner's whose farmsteads I studied.

Would you grant me permission to you your compass rose image with my drawings? If you wish to see my modifications I will gladly email it. My modifications are not very sophisticated. I drew in the sectors with a pen and a straightedge across your image, scanned that image and then using photoshop elements, labeled my sectors - N/NE/E/SE/S/SW/W/NW and with those direction labels included the degrees they included.

I appreciate any help you could lend.

Sincerely

Friesweg

P.S. If you would allow me permission to use your images, would it be possible for us to correspond with email? I would need to include the offical permission email as an appendix to my thesis.

The article Head Bay Road has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreferenced article that does not establish notability and consists of a couple of sentences and a template.

While all 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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Very sorry, Denelson, but I am carless, so I don't think I'll be able to provide any transportation for the event.

Thanks for uploading File:Lib-can.png. 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, then 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, then 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 {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 05:23, 10 February 2011 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? 117Avenue (talk) 05:23, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Denelson83.

The Alaska section of the Haines Highway has always been Highway 7, the BC section has never had an official designation, and the Yukon section was originally known as Highway 4 until 1978, when it was changed to Highway 3. Various maps, including official maps issued by the highways branch in British Columbia, have illustrated a number to the BC section, even if it was not official. The Klondike Highway is similarly unnumbered between Alaska Highway 98 and Yukon Highway 2, but it is maintained by the Yukon government as if it were part of Yukon Highway 2. A B.C. section of the Alaska Highway is also Yukon-maintained, between Swift River and Morley River, Yukon (miles 737-777), while a Yukon section between Iron Creek and Contact Creek (miles 590-596) is maintained by Public Works Canada as a B.C. section of the highway.

Hello! I don't really understand Wikipedia, but the IPA pronunciation guide was a really handy tool. However someone's recorded themselves over two of your files and while it seems they were trying to be helpful, the sound quality is a lot lower and the loss of an IPA vowel guide in a single voice is quite off putting. Also I don't have an account here so I don't think I have a "talk page". Just a heads up I suppose. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.178.162.88 (talk) 13:39, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Referring to your edit summary "Actually, the units do match" as a reply to my edit, removing the phrase:

• "300 bits/subframe x 5 subframes/frame x 25 frames = 37,500 bits / 50 bps = 750 sec."

The left hand side has "bits/subframe x subframes/frame x frames", which resolves to bits, whereas the right hand is expressed as sec. Surely they don't match.

I assume he meant to say something like:

• "300 bits/subframe x 5 subframes/frame x 25 frames = 37,500 bits, and 37,500 bits / 50 bps = 750 sec."

That would make the units match. It still would be an utterly ugly statement in an encyclopedia, but at least it wouldn't be wrong. Glad to see that you casted it into a proper sentence. Thanks and cheers. DVdm (talk) 20:35, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Denelson83,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:

• Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
• Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
• All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
• All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
• The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
