Hi Theresa; in re pressure and electricity: pressure is the statistical sum of the momentum of particles colliding with a barrier. That is, a gas or fluid presses on things because its molecules bounce against it. If the particles are ions, each has a net positive charge. Charged particles can be pressurized against a surface with a flow of electric charge. The classic examples are electrochemical. This is why electroplating works, for example. Other examples include the magnetosphere, which is pressurized by the flow of protons from the sun, and the Biefeld-Brown effect, which is probably an ionic wind induced by electric currents.

As to the magnitude of the pressure, Charles' Law relates temperature and pressure (they're proportional). One electron volt is equivalent to several thousand degrees F of temperature. See the fusor, which can fuse deuterium with a neon transformer...

Best wishes, and please revert my changes, to the extent that this makes sense to you. If you agree, it would be kind to place this text in the discussion to prevent further changes,

I am trying to be sympathetic, I promise (and here's a genuine *hug*, ok?), but surely by know you lot know that Becks can't take penalties for toffee?! OwenBlacker 09:00, Jun 25, 2004 (UTC)
Well if Sol Campbell's goal hadn't been disallowed it wouldn't have come to penalties now would it? We was robbed! (Owen send me an email, I've got a picture that I want to pass on, but it's probably copyrighted so I can't upload it here) theresa knott 09:10, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)
The Portuguese had a goal disallowed too... OwenBlacker

Theresa, you're busted. I'm placing you under arrest for breach of the Trades Description Act (which I will now have to write a stub for, dman you...) ;o) --bodnotbod 19:10, Jun 25, 2004 (UTC)

Hi, you've been involved in creating the Image:Microscope diagram.png but there's no information about license. Could you tell me more ? Is it GFDL ? We use it on french wikipedia and wonder what license it is. Thanks in advance. fr:Utilisateur:Tipiac

Range blocks

Basically, the number after the / is the number of bits which are fixed. All addresses sharing the first n bits are blocked. So /28 blocks all users with the address listed, and the 24 -1 = 15 addresses after it. /29, which I used, blocks a total of 8 addresses. Pakaran. 16:47, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Yep, you have to choose a starting address with the "variable" bits all zero. Thus you will sometimes have to block double, or a little more than double, the range you wanted to (or use several blocks). Feel free to bug me or Morwen on IRC if you're still confused. Pakaran. 13:47, 30 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Tim has informed me that without hand-editing the block table (which there's no way in hell they'll let us do) you can't block over a /16 if you wanted to. Pakaran. 14:23, 30 Jun 2004 (UTC)
There goes my evil plan to block all anons in one foul swoop!
I don't know the context, but you might find this Netmask calculator of some use. Unfortunately, all the other bookmarks in my "Networking utilities" Favorites folder seem to have fallen out of use. Hth! — OwenBlacker 14:44, Jun 30, 2004 (UTC)
That's because we have been very bad and conducted each half of the conversation on our seperate talk pages. Basically I was asking Pakaran to teach me how to do range blocks properly. Once I understood the basic principles I then began dreaming of the power I had to block lert right and center. Anyway it appears I don't have the power to block the entire internet after all, which is a good thing because I have far too many "powers" that I'm not allowed to actually use as it is. (I can block logged in users, I can delete pages I don't like the look of, I can protect pages so they stay how I want but I'm not allowed to do any of these things :-( Oh well!) Anyway thanks for the link. It does look useful, although i will be working these things out by hand for the time being until I'm totally happy that I'm doing it right) theresa knott 15:08, 30 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Lol, fair enough. I hate calculating the damn thing myself; I try to avoid it wherever possible — OwenBlacker 15:28, Jun 30, 2004 (UTC)

Using your superpowers...

Would you delete the category I made category:Guardian's 50 Funniest, please? It should have been category:Observer's 50 Funniest. I've moved all the articles across so it's now orphaned. I still need to add people to the latter category, but that doesn't effect the deletion issue. Ta! --bodnotbod 23:47, Jun 29, 2004 (UTC)

Hi Theresa -

While waiting for your talk page to load (I have a router from Hell), I read your user page and was pleased to note our similarities.

You are not the first to mention problems with the image above. It shows up just fine on all my browsers. How does it show up on my graphic storage page? I'll reload it, but it will have to be under a different name; I am still unable to make an image reload in the space of an old image with the same name.

Hi Theresa! Just a short (and belated) note to say how much I appreciated your vote in my favour in last week's sysop poll. I feel honoured to be able to play a small part in this tremendous project, and your support meant a lot to me. David Cannon 10:04, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Evidence that Lir trolls

Snowspinner is writing a page for the arbitration committee. I saw your last post and I thought you'd be interested in seeing it, if you haven't already. Here. Mike H 23:32, Jul 4, 2004 (UTC)


Hey, fuck you Theresa. I think your wording is stupid; but I dont go around talking shit -- grow up and act like a sysop. Lirath Q. Pynnor

Charming I must say. theresa knott 17:25, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)
geez... Gedday Theresa, speaking of which did you have a look at that proposal for er well antisocial editors? Erich 11:09, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Yeah I've looked at it. It's a bit complicated for my tired brain at the moment. I'll make some comments in a day or two after I've thought it over. theresa knott 00:32, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I think Lir is just joking here, I don't consider that a personal attack--Plato 04:48, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Well I do. Lir doesn't joke with me.

Loves and hates

Is it fair game to comment on your loves and hates? If not, feel free to delete. I wanted to comment because one "hate" struck me. First, I thoroughly agree with all your "loves" save fried onions. As to hates, ditto, except "Getting older, why can’t I stay 21 forever? It’s not fair!" I can agree with the sentiment intellectually, but I wouldn't want to be 21 again for anything. Not that 21 was bad (though I was in the Army then) but that I've enjoyed my life, and there is pleasure to found found at every age and every stage of life. The few people I know who look back too much often can't enjoy the present enough, and the present is what we've got. Would I like to be as healthy and have the same life expectancy now I had at 21, well sure, but even with a pact with the Dark One, that's not possible, but a pleasant fantasy. Hope you're not turned off by the fatherly (grandfatherly?) advice. Cheers! -- Cecropia | Talk 03:24, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Of course it's fair game to comment, I wouldn't put them there if it wasn't. You are right of course. I wouldn't actually want to be 21 again. I was overly shy, had little self confidence, yet thought I knew it all. I was probably a right prick. No I want to be me now, but in my 21 year old body. That would be great. theresa knott 08:04, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)
if you figure out how, perhaps you'll let us know. Erich 10:05, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)
As long as you help me out of the moral quandary I would find myself in. Part of me would be saying "Knowledge should never be hoarded, give this information away to everyone and we will all be young, healthy and beautiful" but the other part of me would be "Are you out of your mind! Do you have any idea how much money in this. You could name your price. You'll be the richest person on the planet" theresa knott 22:24, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)
you mean a bit like AIDS drugs... mmm well... you need to patent the idea (you'll need an expensive lawyer). Then you can charge the wealthy squillions of $$, while giving enough to the poor to appease your conscience. If you made enough money you could immunise the bits of Africa that Bill Gates hasn't got to yet. See I knew that MBA would come in handy for something some day! Erich 23:22, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Alternative medicine WikiProject

Hi Theresa. I've begun to make some changes to the Alternative Medicine Wikiproject and its subpages. As you've been involved with this issue before, you may want to have a look at the Project and at its talk page. Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated. -- ALargeElk | Talk 14:40, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I suppose you are right about my comparing him to mnh being over the top. You have to admit that his two long messages had a higher ratio of empty insult to substance than we have seen on that page for a while. I should probably just stay away from it, but it annoyed me when he removed someone else's tag and then accused me of trying to stifle other points of view when I objected. Alteripse 21:46, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Yes but I think he removed the tag in good faith. theresa knott 21:51, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Range blocks

So what do we do about AOL bandits, which is what Mr. Treason is? I had blocked about 8 individual IDs last night. RickK 22:32, Jul 21, 2004 (UTC)

We get more responsiveness, or indeed any, from AOL. Blocking AOL proxies (b) blocks innocent anon users but (a) completely fails to block the vandal. So is actually provably worse than doing nothing - David Gerard 23:09, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Ah. Then we shouldn't block vandals coming from AOL? Seems like a really good way to get away with massive vandalism. Too bad Wik didn't just start using AOL vandals, then all of you appeasers would have let him get away with doing whatever he wanted to do, since it's an AOL account, and all we can do is wring our hands. RickK 23:36, Jul 21, 2004 (UTC)
It's not 'appeasement', it's that it quite literally doesn't work to block the attack - David Gerard 00:10, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Thanks for making it so clear. And here I thought we were interested in making an encyclopedia instead of a playground where any nonsense posted has to be retained. RickK 04:22, Jul 22, 2004 (UTC)
Geez Rick, settle mate. David didn't say he liked it. He said 'it doesn't work'. But here's a dumb question: why not make anons log in? it seems that wikipedia gets enough traffic to strain the servers, surely its at the point now where the focus needs to be on quality over quantity? Erich 06:02, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I don't think they agree, it would seem quantity is still the primary goal. Check out meta:eventualism. Sam [Spade] 06:16, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I don't see how making anons log in would stop vandalism. The vandals would simply create an account, vandalise get blocked, create a new account and so on. In answer to RickK I don't think Wik stopped because we managed to block the anon proxies, they must be thousands of anon proxies that we haven't caught yet. I think he stopped because we stayed calm and reverted everything he did, blocked the proxies that he did use and overcame his bullying tactics, with our force of will. And we didn't appease him in any way shape or form. He wanted another user banned, we refused to ban him, how's that appeasement?

Anyway It's pointless trying the vandalise wikipedia. There are far too many of us able to revert. With AOL vandals we revert repeatedly. If they are banned users like Mr treason i revert without even reading what they wrote. It takes seconds to revert everything a banned user wrote in several articles. They simply cannot keep up with even one good admin, and there are always admins watching recent changes. We can also protect pages to stop them editing specific pages. We are far from powerless. But we need to use our powers calmly, and we certanly ( I'm talking to RickK here) should present a firm and united fromt to the vandals and not argue among ourselves. theresa knott 15:20, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I would also point out that the despotic atmosphere which some actions of Ricks facilitate only serves to create more trolls, and justify preexisting ones, rather than helping the community. Sam [Spade] 05:25, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Votes for undeletion

Hello, please take a look at the formatting I did of the comments regarding "Ish"—I placed yours under "other" comments rather than as a vote to keep deleted because I wasn't sure if you meant to merely explain a point.

OK, I'll do that in future. Although, I'm not sure if I dare try and move this to the main namespace. Do you think it will pass as encyclopaedic? Obviously I have a lot of work to do on the article, but I'm hoping it will be quite striking and, of course, entirely factually correct (I'll put in refs to support each person).

Check your page history. The insults was written by User:24.251.190.182. Of course they could be one and the same user, but I don't see any evidence. theresa knott 22:59, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Cold fusion

Thank you for your interest in Wikipedia:WikiProject Science. Your comment there made me think that you could help on Cold fusion: we would need a diagram of the electrolytic cell in the description of the experiment. Hey, thanks anyway ! Pcarbonn 06:37, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)

No problem, but since I don't know anything about cold fusion, I've had to go by the description. (I've left out the thermistor and heater to keep the diagram simple, I can put them in if you think them important) Is the diagram ok I do you think it needs any changes? theresa knott 09:41, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Mmmm.... Korn. :) - UtherSRG 21:05, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Wel I'm not that good with anagrams. If you can think of anything better let me know. [[User:Theresa knott|]] 21:46, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I love your sig! It's very good -- I wish I had some neat skills to create myself something like it. [[User:Sverdrup|User:Sverdrup]] 00:39, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

You don't need neat skills. It's easy! You need a vector graphics program that's capable of making animated gifs. I used Serif DrawPlus but there are plenty of freeware and shareware animated gif creators on the web. I set frame 1 to 25 seconds, frames 2 - 7 were morphed from my name to my anagram, frame 8 was set 2 seconds and the remaining frames were copies of frames 2 -7 in reverse order. (This'll make more sense if you give it a go). Have fun. [[User:Theresa knott|]] 08:33, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

As regards a better anagram - well, they're not necessarily all as interesting, but some true anagrams of Theresa Knott are "the otter sank", "stroke the ant", "store the tank", "then to streak" and "tank shot tree" (though not a proper sentence). As regards other anagrams - start by using up the K, it's tricky, then focus on the Ts (there's 3 of them). I haven't ever particularly done much in the way of figuring out anagrams, but I enjoy Scrabble, which is much the same skills. Incidentally, I don't know much about these things, but a quick investigation for the examples above (about 5 mins) suggests there's quite a few anagrams can be made from your name!

OK I've removed my image and gone back to my regular sig until a decision is made one way or another. Theresa Knott 22:45, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)
What descision is that, I wonder? Plus, do you have any clue why my siggy doesn't show up when I use a template on one page like 5-10 times while it does for other people? Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ, cοηtrιbs) 02:19, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Discussion is at Wikipedia talk:Username As for templates - I thought they only worked 5 times on one page. Are you sure that other people are actually using a template? I never did. Theresa Knott 14:04, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I saw some other people using templates (such as User:Sverdrup at User:Sverdrup/sig except he uses it as a template in his sig), I guess it's not quite a good idea then. Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 15:20, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Welcoming newbies

Hi there,

Not sure how tabs are kept on this, but I believe it's usual for new users to receive a standard "Welcome to Wikipedia" message from an admin, with open tasks and useful pages. Certainly I did. However, User:Kiand, a fellow Irish wikipedian who only started a week or two ago didn't. I could add the necessary piece myself by copying my own welcome section, but that may be out of date. What is currently used, and where does the template (if any) reside?

Regards, zoney  talk 13:29, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Admin? Me? The 14th Earl of Wimslow? With MY reputation?

Hello. Saw your kind recommendation on my talk page. Ever since I joined Wikipedia and noticed there was some kind of opportunity for advancement I've thought: hmmmmmm, I could do with a feather in my cap... (I mean in general not necessarily Wikipedia related). I think I'd like to read up a bit more about what it means first. I'll have a read of relevant pages and see if it appeals. If you can recommend anything I should look at please do so. Whatever I decide, thanks very much. It's lovely to be asked. Very best, --[[User:Bodnotbod|bodnotbod » .....TALKQuietly)]] 16:33, Aug 24, 2004 (UTC)

Cheers for the tips. I'll definitely consider it. I suppose my main question is - say I don't edit on Wikipedia for a week, would I then be considered a bad choice in retrospect? Or, to put it another way... I'm confident I would do little or no harm with my new powers (ie, I'm happy I would be responsible). However, I can be less sure that I could live up to an expectation that I would work x hours a week, every week. --[[User:Bodnotbod|bodnotbod » .....TALKQuietly)]] 18:57, Aug 24, 2004 (UTC)

Don't worry about that! You don't have to put in a set number of hours. I don't. Sometimes I do loads, sometimes I don't do any. There were times last year when i was working heavily on a wikibooks chapter that i didn't even log in to wikipedia for weeks on end, let alone do admin stuff. It's not as if we only have a set number of admins to do all the work. The general principle is 'the more the merrier'. No the only important thing is, that you are trustworthy, and if I didn't think that i would never have suggested nominating you. Anyway - let me know if you are interested and here's a little light reading to be going on with Wikipedia:Administrators' reading list (just give 'em a quick once over for now, you only need to really know these policies when you come to use your powers). Theresa Knott 22:28, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)

OK, that's reassuring. I think I'll ask you to leave it for 2 weeks. The reason being is that I set up 3 categories, all of which are now being deleted: category:alcoholics , category:gay icons and category.... I forget. So maybe I'll lay low on the admin front for a short period, let all that embarrassment blow over. Then I'll come and ask you if you still want to list me. Thanks, it's a privilege. Best wishes --[[User:Bodnotbod|bodnotbod » .....TALKQuietly)]] 03:43, Aug 25, 2004 (UTC)
As a side note... something good has already come from your approach. A couple of times I've noticed a vandal on the move and reported them, but I also groaned inwardly as I took it upon myself to go around and revert the edits. I now see that admins can revert much more quickly, so it makes little sense for a normal user to try and do it. It also explains why I found so many of the edits had been reverted within minutes, way ahead of me... --[[User:Bodnotbod|bodnotbod » .....TALKQuietly)]] 20:07, Aug 25, 2004 (UTC)


Did you know?

That Sie is a real (or proposed at least) english word? It's a Gender-neutral pronoun.

No I didn't know that. Thanks for letting me know, and thanks for reverting my bad edit. Theresa Knott 22:53, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)

If you can think of a less scary anagram let me know.

How about:
Good admin anagrams:
  • TOKEN THREATS or
  • THE TOKEN STAR
or the bewildering, but provocative:
  • HOT NET STREAK or
  • TEST THE KORAN
Another possible admin one:
task not there
If you're sick of being plagued with questions...
the rotten ask
Or, if you don't particularly do much roller/ice skating you could be:

Right that's it. I've said I wont use the animation (except on this page) but I'm going to have to use somr of these in my sig somehow - they're just too good to waste. Theresa Knott 14:49, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

  • Ah, I did wonder if you might be asked to stop using the animation. It was pretty groovy, but if we all started using them the Village Pump would look like a Christmas Tree with lots of winking lights. Or, more sinister, like squinting into a forest from your tent flaps and imagining lots of blinking, large toothed mammals. --[[User:Bodnotbod|bodnotbod » .....TALKQuietly)]] 20:11, Aug 25, 2004 (UTC)

Alas, I'm always late to every party. I believe "taketh no rest" would be a good watchword to the admin, although an admin on wikivacation might prefer to "start the keno". My own personal favorite -- Nate the Stork. I had fun with this, and hope it proves some amusement to you. James Rosenzweig, I am sad to say, offers little to the anagrammologist, although an omission of the "m" allows "Zion's Jews agree" -- a noble, if unlikely, sentiment. Keep having fun, Jwrosenzweig 21:59, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)
