The hydrohelium(1+) cation, HeH+, also known as the helium hydride ion and helium-hydride molecular ion, is a positively charged ion formed by the reaction of a proton with a helium atom in the gas state, first produced in the laboratory in 1925. It is isoelectronic with molecular hydrogen.{{cite journal |first1=T. R. |last1 = Hogness |first2=E.

Temporary scratchpad
By the way (and I am not saying that the Cheatsheet should mention it), I have come across a few Wikipedia pages (in project space, not article space) that do use real Level 1 headings (1 equal on either side). On those pages, the Level 1 headings are the top level on the TOC.
- The current policy is There should be a guideline for the whole encyclopedia and it should be applied consistently.
- The only viable guidelines are:
- If this RfC dictates a change in existing article titles, a bot can to it. That should not affect the decision of what the guideline should be.
- A couple comments say that italic or quotation marks are needed in the text to set off titles from the text, but are not needed when the title of the article is the title of a work. However, there are some article titles that combine titles of work with other text. One examples is Euclid's Elements (could be Euclid's Elements.

Noether's theorem for gauge transformations
In electrodynamics and quantum electrodynamics, in addition to the global U(1) symmetry related to the electric charge, there are also position dependent gauge transformations.{{cite journal

But what if there is a position-dependent (but not time-dependent) infinitesimal gauge transformation where α is some function of position?
The Noether charge is now
:
where is the electric field.
Using integration by parts,
:
This assumes that the state in question approaches the vacuum asymptotically at spatial infinity. The first integral is the surface integral at spatial infinity and the second integral is zero by the Gauss law. Also assume that α(r,θ,φ) approaches α(θ,φ) as r approaches infinity (in polar coordinates). Then, the Noether charge only depends upon the value of α at spatial infinity but not upon the value of α at finite values. This is consistent with the idea that symmetry transformations not affecting the boundaries are gauge symmetries whereas those that do are global symmetries. If α(θ,φ)=1 all over the S2, we get the electric charge. But for other functions, we also get conserved charges (which are not so well known).
This conclusion holds both in classical electrodynamics as well as in quantum electrodynamics. If α is taken as the spherical harmonics, conserved scalar charges (the electric charge) are seen as well as conserved vector charges and conserved tensor charges. This is not a violation of the Coleman-Mandula theorem as there is no mass gap.{{cite journal

Even though this result is expressed in terms of a particular spherical coordinates with a given origin, translations changing the origin do not affect spatial infinity.
Bish
Jimbo blocked Bishonen for 3 hours on May 22. Bishonen's last two salvos were on July 3, on this talk page.[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jimbo_Wales&diff=299996366&oldid=299992470][http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jimbo_Wales&diff=300102140&oldid=300055716]
That is 6 weeks. If Bishonen had simply endured her 3-hour block and then returned to business as usual, this issue would have ended on May 22. It is Bishonen who created this controversy and kept alive. Since her block expired, almost all of of Bishonen's "contributions" to Wikipedia have been her arguing, arguing, and arguing about Jimbo's 3-hour block. Throughout, Bishonen very skillfully shifted the issue from her personal attack of Daedalus969 (who deserved a reprimand, but not to be cursed at and then then repeatedly baited) to whether Jimbo's 3-hour block conformed to the letter of the blocking policy—she framed the issue as a misuse of the block to punish her—and rallied other admins and friends to join her campaign against Jimbo.
I don't know if Jimbo looked at Bishonen's prior edit history before he blocked her, but she also lost it a week earlier. Bishonen was supporting an RfA (the candidate was previously de-sysoped; the RfA failed) and got into an argument with someone who opposed it. Again, in addition to cursing at the other editor, she expressed anger that the other editor disregarded Bishonen's "advice" to stop arguing against the RfA. The discussion on Bishonen's talk page, which Bishonen later deleted, shows her uncivil conduct and contemptuous attitude toward another editor who crossed her[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Bishonen&oldid=290267897#Correction.3F] (indents omitted):
[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3ARequests_for_adminship%2FEveryking_5&diff=289542232&oldid=289541929 You mean] supporters, no? And the talk page only shows the level of hate that Everyking will put forth, so I doubt it really supports your argument in any kind of regard. Thankfully, Crats don't do what Everyking would do (merely count votes) so your argument definitely wont hold up. Ottava Rima (talk) 21:46, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
It definitely won't, will it? That's interesting. Are you suffering from some kind of hysteria, to be addressing me like that after I advise you to not—not—keep blathering against the opposers [sic: should be "supporters"]? Or are you trying to avoid the childishness of immediately doing what I asked you not to do, by posting on my page instead of on the RFA? Or, Machiavellian thought, are you deliberately making yourself look absurd in order to make Everyking look the better? Are you secretly on his side? Whichever it is, and, believe me, I don't really want to know, piss off my page and stay off. Bishonen | talk 00:17, 13 May 2009 (UTC).
Hrmph. A crude edit summary ["Har har. Piss off."] is fine in small doses. Use one too much and you ruin its mystique. --MZMcBride (talk) 02:10, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
The mystique is perhaps not necessary, MZMcBride. Got any suggestions? What do you think of "Fuck off"? Bishonen | talk 20:18, 13 May 2009 (UTC).
Bishonen's abusive behaviour toward editors, her continuing argument that Jimbo's 3-hour block of her was unjustified, and, most distressing, other admins' supporting Bishonen throughout her campaign, are germane to the community poll on the adequacy of Wikipeida's civility policy, the adequacy of the policy's enforcement, and particularly whether selective enforcement unfairly favors admins. Suppressing discussion of these issues of legitimate community concern is damaging to the already frayed morale of many active editors, and also ineffective. If there is concern that the poll questions should have been phrased more neutrally, that can be fixed (provided the facts are stated accurately). But the questions and the discussion should be restored to the poll. In fact, the civility policy poll is probably the least confrontational forum for discussing the matter. But if community discussion continues to be suppressed there, it will arise elsewhere. That is what happens when debate is suppressed, and why suppression is counterproductive. Finell (Talk) 07:05, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
Dear Risker: I very respectfully disagree with your removal of a large segment of the discussion, to which many Wikipedians contributed, and disagree even more with your reasoning. First, this is not a case of an admin who wants to put the matter behind her after serving her 3-hour block. To the contrary, she has kept stirring and re-stirring this issue constantly on her talk page, on a special sub-page, and on Jimbo's talk page (Jimbo quickly deleted most of her and others' posts there so the discussion would occur on Bishonen's special talk sub-page). On July 3, 6 weeks after her 3-hour block expired, she posts on Jimbo's talk page: Her discussion with Jimbo on her talk sub-page about the block is over, but the subject should be returned to Jimbo's talk page so that others who have expressed themselves on Jimbo's 3-hour block (i.e., her supporters) can "have a fuller discussion" of the subject.[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jimbo_Wales&diff=299996366&oldid=299992470] So they have been carrying on her battle back on Jimbo's talk page.
::Second, as other remaining sections of the discussion on the poll page shows, there is a widespread perception that admins and other, favored, "experienced" editors get away with incivility, while sanctions are more liberally imposed on "ordinary" Wikipedians. The Bishonen incident—her flagrant misconduct, the mild sanction of a 3-hour block, and the expressed outrage of Bishonen and several supporters over the 3-hour block—are Exhibit A in support of that perception. If an "ordinary" editor had called another editor a "little shit", even without Bishonen's additional misconduct, no one would be upset or surprised by a 3-day block or worse. No one would be questioning whether the block was preventative (OK), punitive (not OK), or exemplary (not OK)In my opinion, the Bishonen incident, which is widely known and widely discussed, is one of the main reasons behind this re-examination of the civility policy and its enforcement (as well as a few other policy proposals). That is why the topic is relevant to the discussion. Further, your deletion of this topic, wiping out the thoughtful (and perhaps some less thoughtful)
:*With all due respect to Arbitrator Risker, in the long run her deleting that entire item from the poll, after the item had drawn very extensive commentary about a subject that is of concern to the community—wiping out 20–30 editors' good faith comments on all sides of the issue, including Jimbo's—is causing more, rather than less drama about the matter. And that drama is further exacerbated by another admin closing the Talk page discussion of Risker's action: Wikipedia talk:Civility/Poll#Risker's removal of discussion. Silencing community members who express themselves on important policies and their application breeds resentment, not trust and collegiality.
As other remaining sections of the discussion on the poll page shows, there is a widespread perception that admins and other, favored, "experienced" editors get away with incivility, while sanctions are more liberally imposed on "ordinary" Wikipedians. Personally, I believe this perception is exaggerated, but not entirely baseless. However, the whole Bishonen incident—her flagrant misconduct, the mild sanction of a 3-hour block, and the expressed outrage of Bishonen and several supporters over the 3-hour block—are Exhibit A in support of that perception. If an "ordinary" editor had called another editor a "little shit"—even without Bishonen's additional misconduct, subsequent unrepentant attitude, and 6 weeks of whining and campaigning against Jimbo—no one would be upset or surprised by a 3-day block or worse. No one would be questioning whether the block was preventative (OK), punitive (not OK), or exemplary (not OK). And if Jimbo himself blocked the plebeian-editor, without warning, no one would be clamoring to remove his "block button" or other nonsense.
In my opinion, the entire Bishonen incident, which is widely known and widely discussed, is one of the main reasons behind this re-examination of the civility policy and its enforcement (as well as a few other policy proposals). That is why the topic is relevant to the discussion. It was not primarily an ad hominem attack on Bishonen, as those who want to sweep it all under the rug maintain. And it feeds the perception that there is a double standard, and that the admins watch each others' back. As I say, I believe the perception is overstated. But the way admins rallied to Bishonen's defense, and attacked Jimbo for a 3-hour block, is one instance where the facts matched the perception. Finell (Talk) 04:42, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

RfC on lead image alignment (continued)
I strongly oppose the proposal to change the layout of the lead in Joseph Priestley.
In my opinion, the question in the RfC is misstated. The real question is: What is the best layout for this article? Comparing the two lead layouts above, the one with the left-aligned portrait is much more attractive than the alternative.
For those who believe that, as a matter of interpretation, the MOS statement about beginning an article with a right-aligned infobox or image trumps the recommendation about how portraits should be aligned, the answer is that it is permissible to depart from the MOS, which is a guideline, when there is good reason to do so—and in this case aesthetics strongly favor left-aligning the Priestley portrait. For those who believe that the MOS does not prescribe the alignment because these two MOS guidelines are in conflict, aesthetics provides the basis for resolving the conflict. This is not a matter of WP:IAR; that is a straw man, or red herring.
But wikilawyering over MOS interpretation is really beside the point in this case. For people with some background in art or design, right-aligning this Priestley portrait looks awful. To me, it is a bit like the sound of fingernails scratching a chalk board. (The lead of the George Armstrong Custer, cited as an example above, looks even worse, in my opinion). To many other individuals, alignment toward or away from the center makes no difference. Almost no-one believes that facing away from the center looks better than the alternative. Madcoverboy never said that right-aligning this portrait looks better or contributes to the article; his sole point is based on a narrow and rigidity reading of the MOS. Likewise, the argument is not merely that there is is a very long standing consensus in favor of the present layout, but that the supporters of the consensus do so for a reason.
The MOS's guideline about aligning portraits grows from a basic proposition about composing figures (people) in drawing and painting. Normal composition is for figures (people) to be generally oriented toward the compositional center of the work; the closer one gets to the edge of a painting, the more jarring (worse) it is for a figure to face the nearest edge. When a major figure in a painting is near the edge of the composition and is facing away, it is usually to signify that the person is alienated from the other people or to create a feeling of tension and unease. In photography, one is instructed not compose a shot so that people look like they "are running out of the frame"—unless the intention is to show that they are running away from the scene. This same principle carries into page composition in books and periodicals: were figures and text are combined, with the principle that if a picture of a person is aligned at one edge of the page or the other, the person should be facing toward the center rather than away; if the image is centered, it does not generally matter which way the figure faces, although the layout of other figures on the same page may affect this.
In this particular image, Priestley's body (a line through his shoulders) faces about about 60 degrees toward to the right of the composition (his left), his head or face (a line through his ears) is about 45 degrees right, and his eyes look straight forward. These angles, whichever way they face, make for a harmonious, graduated portrait. Priestley's black coat emphasizes, or strengthens, the body angle. This composition calls for left, or center, alignment.
Historically, the MOS-sticklers at the FA review promoted the article, although a couple of them questioned the left-alignment. However, the majority of the FA reviewers voted for FA without even commenting on the left-alignment, and the few who raised the question seemed satisfied by the reasons given for it. The discussion has followed the same path to the same conclusion on this talk page both before and after the FA promotion, and the consensus has thus far always favored the present alignment.

http://www.1911encyclopedia.org/Dodecahedron:
DODECAHEDRON (Gr. SccSerca, twelve, and Spa, a face or base), in geometry, a solid enclosed by twelve plane faces. The "ordinary dodecahedron" is one of the Platonic solids (see Polyhedron). The Greeks discovered that if a line be divided in extreme and mean proportion, then the whole line and the greater segment are the lengths of the edge of a cube and dodecahedron inscriptible in the same sphere. The "small stellated dodecahedron," the "great dodecahedron" and the "great stellated dodecahedron" are Kepler-Poinsot solids; and the "truncated" and "snub dodecahedra" are Archimedean solids (see Polyhedron). In crystallography, the regular or ordinary dodecahedron is an impossible form since the faces cut the axes in irrational ratios; the "pentagonal dodecahedron" of crystallographers has irregular pentagons for faces, while the geometrical solid, on the other hand, has regular ones. The "rhombic dodecahedron," one of the geometrical semiregular solids, is an important crystal form. Many other dodecahedra exist as crystal forms, for which see Crystallography.
