Speedy deletion contested: [[:Huntington Creek]]

Hello King jakob c 2. I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of :Huntington Creek, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: This is a valid disambiguation page. Thank you. Eastmain (talkcontribs) 00:05, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

:{{ping|Eastmain}} But there's only one existing page linked to on this "disambiguation" page. Even if it isn't explicitly mentioned at WP:CSD, it seems obvious that Huntington Creek (Pennsylvania) should be at Huntington Creek.--Jakob (Scream about the things I've broken) 00:11, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

:Oh, wait. I see you created a stub for the other article. --Jakob (Scream about the things I've broken) 00:12, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to the 2014 WikiCup!

Hello King jakob c 2, and welcome to the 2014 WikiCup! Your submission page can be found here. The competition will begin at midnight tonight (UTC). There have been a few small changes from last year; the rules can be read in full at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring, and the page also includes a summary of changes. One important rule to remember is that only content on which you have completed significant work, and nominated, in 2014 is eligible for points in the competition- the judges will be checking! As ever, this year's competition includes some younger editors. If you are a younger editor, you are certainly welcome, but we have written an advice page at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Advice for younger editors for you. Please do take a look. Any questions should be directed to one of the judges, or left on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup. Signups will close at the end of January, and the first round will end on 26 February; the 64 highest scorers at that time will make it to round 2. Good luck! {{user|J Milburn}}, {{user|The ed17}} and {{user|Miyagawa}} 17:32, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

Public opinion of same sex marriage

submit this because I edit the part of the text that says that the level of education has influence in the opinion of same sex "marriage" because without a dude , It´s falacious. There are no relation between them and I also think that in many degrees of science or medicine, the mayority of students are against this marriages because in order of science they can´t procreate or even until 1990 It was a disease recognised by very influent experts. I don´t imagine who posted it, probably a militant of gay lobby, who believe that everybody with formation agrees with same sex "marriage" but I am a student who graduates in maths this year and I can say that in my class, the majority are good at mind and understand the meaning of equality: to treat everybody equally with the same conditions, but although some people here don´t think so, two men or two woman are one thing and one men and one woman are other different thing, and in law two differents things should be treated different in order to distinguish them.

I would like that you give me a good reason in order to consider that my argument is not valid to edit this part.

I suspect an error on the [[Pnictogen]] article

I think your information about the deadly dose of arsenic isn't really correct (in section toxicity). I suspect it's about a 1000 times more poisonous than mentioned there. I added as much as I know into the 'talk' page for that article.

Can you review your source for this, or explain why I know arsenic as a substance that is poisonous in amounts usually expressed in milligrams while the article speaks about a deadly dose of 200 grams?

Thanks! Aszazin (talk) 13:43, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

:Thanks for pointing that out, I've changed it to 200 milligrams. --Jakob (talk) 14:08, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Teahouse

Hey, Jakob, I've replied to your question at the Teahouse; the short answer, though, is "no". Writ Keeper  00:39, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

:{{ping|Writ_Keeper}} I've requested renaming on all the wikis where I have more than 5 edits, but am too lazy to request it on 15 other wikis where I have 5 or fewer edits. Is that OK? --Jakob (talk) 02:14, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

::Oh, yeah, it's totally up to you. If you don't care about having your other accounts attached to your SUL, then there's no other reason to have 'em renamed. Writ Keeper  02:16, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

User:Bonu

Thx Jakob for reacting so fast and fixing my request - hope this does the trick?

Enjoy PA - hope the snow is not too bad - here in the Swiss mountains we have much warmer than usual.

What article should I work on?

I am in a class at University of Oklahoma this semester called History of Science to the Age of Newton I am tasked to heavily improve a Wikipedia article. Would you like to help me find a good one that has room for improvements? Gaurd.vanforlife (talk) 01:52, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

:{{ping|Gaurd.vanforlife}} I'd be glad to. Is there a specific field of science/time period in science you're especially interested in? --Jakob (talk) 02:05, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

:I may have found my articles to improve. A cursory survey of a few books in the library yielded not a few women in science that would make my professor happy.

Thanks for your willingness to help, I'll talk to you when I hit a wall that I need help with. Gaurd.vanforlife (talk) 22:07, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
