Disambiguation note

Hi Ukuk! I saw that you modified the format of the disambiguation block at the top of the Lille article from:

This is about the city in France. For other uses, see Lille (disambiguation).

to

The following article is about the term Lille in the context of the French city. See Lille (disambiguation) for other meanings.

basically, my question is about your replacement of the semicolumn by a line. Is the anything in the Manual of Style about it? Thanks. olivier 07:21, May 16, 2004 (UTC)

I just made the message match the pattern I saw in most articles I read. I did not read any documentation about this.

I see. There is apparently no real standard and both ways seem to be found quite extensively within Wikipedia. olivier 15:17, May 18, 2004 (UTC)

Well, in fact, i think i prefer the more compact way, i'll use it now (: Thx for the hint (=

Metric units

Hi there,

Glad to see you contributing. I note that you have added 'mkg' values. I am aware of foot pound force and newton metre. The unit joule (symbol: J) is valid but I have never seen it used in this application. The construction 'mkg' for torque is new to me, can you give some indication of where it is used?

Thanks for your response on the other page, I have only just seen it. I am surprised to see kgf being used as part of a torque unit. The kilogram force (which I would write as 'kgf') was officially replaced by the newton a while back. As far as I am aware, Nm is used throughout Europe in car magazines and on tools. Similarly, the foot pound is used throughout the USA. The UK used foot pounds in the past and now uses Nm.

Multiplication of units is shown by a dot ( . ) character (as in N.m), or by nothing (as in Nm). So the use of a slash ( / ) or a hyphen ( - ) is definitely wrong. It could imply a different calculation. I note that Yamaha uses a hyphen and therefore is wrong.

What units do they use on torque wrenches in your country?

Bobblewik 12:57, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Well, thanx for such brilliant remarks. As I'm an expert neither in Motorcycles nor in Physics as you seem to be, i can only tell some manufacturers use it. Ducati and Aprilia use the notation kgm on their websites -Ducati uses only that unit- Yamaha Brazil uses kgm/f, Yamaha Europe uses kg-m...

Ok, a rapid search on Wikipedia leads to Kgf which suggests that the symbol is kgf, so let's use it (: Ukuk 01:35, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Actually, the page Kgf does not exist. You will have been redirected to Kilogram-force which mentions the symbol 'kgf'. Note that the symbol for 'kilo' must be a lower case 'k', it is only symbols from mega ('M') upwards that are capitals. Strange but true. See the list at the official SI website [1].

You cannot express torque in units of force alone. So just 'kgf' by itself is not correct. You need metres too. I would recommend 'kgf.m' or 'm.kgf'. You could write kgfm or mkgf but I think that is not so good. However, we already use 2 ways of expressing torque on Wikipedia and it gets complicated ensuring that articles note both of them. Readers need either foot pounds or newton metres. I am not convinced that there is a need for a 3rd form of torque unit. I hope that we can simply drop it. It will be worth asking around. Can you check in Brazil and France to see what they use in magazines and for mechanics tools?

Bobblewik 12:07, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I've asked the guy who repairs my motorbike, he said in Brazil people only uses m.kgf, he also said that it exists ft.lbf and asked about "Nwhat ??", obviously Nm is not used here (: In France N.m seems to dominate even if m.kgf persists.

Thanks.

In order to be mentioned in the Wikipedia, a band must be fairly notable. Local bands are only notable enough if they are extremely influential on the local scene. Sorry. Tuf-Kat 14:27, Aug 25, 2004 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. If you disagree, I recommend you bring it up at Wikipedia:Requests for comment, Talk:Grindcore and/or Wikipedia:WikiProject Music standards. Tuf-Kat 18:46, Aug 25, 2004 (UTC)

Ford Maverick

I reverted your change to the Ford Maverick page. The categories were not suggesting that the same vehicle would be all-wheel drive, front wheel drive and rear wheel drive, but rather that vehicles under that name may be in one of those categories. Multiple models of Maverick have been sold worldwide; some all wheel drive, some not. —Morven 17:41, Aug 27, 2004 (UTC)

Recruiter

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Recruiter, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Recruiter.

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Ukuk. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Ukuk~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
