DYK for We choose to go to the Moon

On 28 April 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article We choose to go to the Moon, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that President John F. Kennedy (pictured) said: "We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/We choose to go to the Moon. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, We choose to go to the Moon), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

May 2018

Hello. A note about your edit summary here: You wrote, 'Use English, not French, spelling of "meter".' Metre is the English spelling for the unit of length. Perhaps you meant 'Use American spelling'? There's no problem with that. An early version of the article uses 'kilometer' and an argument could be made to keep it in US English. But please understand that metre is English as well as French, just as meter (or, rather, Meter) is German as well as American English. Cheers, BlackcurrantTea (talk) 10:05, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Understanding Comics

Hi JustinTime55. I'm confused as to how you can claim that Understanding Comics is not a comic book about comics. Have you read the book? The entire book is told using "juxtaposed pictorial and other images in deliberate sequence, intended to convey information and/or to produce an aesthetic response in the viewer." In addition, the author Scott McCloud himself calls it "a 215-page comic book about comics.[1] So does the publisher's blurb for the book: "This innovative comic book provides a detailed look at the history, meaning, and art of comics and cartooning."[2] I could cite many, many other examples that state this book is indeed a comic book. My thought was, sure, it's a book about comics, but it's much accurately a comic book about comics. Which is why I thought adding the extra category would be helpful to Wikipedia users. -- stoshmaster (talk) 19:18, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Incorrect revert

Re: [1]

Your edit summary appears to be incorrect. mw:Extension:ImageMap states: "All coordinates are specified relative to the source image. The image can be scaled using thumbnail syntax, in which case the image map coordinates will be automatically scaled as well." If you don't believe that, see the sandbox test at User:Mandruss/sandbox3. You'll find that all 4 cases work just fine and the only difference is the size parameter. ―Mandruss ☎ 19:56, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

Okay, I guess you learn something new every day. I'll self-revert. JustinTime55 (talk) 20:40, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing the broken RM close over at Talk:Dan Rowan. I think I've got it patched up now in a way that preserves a better record of what happened. No idea what went wrong with that close, 11 years ago.

I’m sorry to bother you, but I’ve been reading several books on the early days of NASA and am from Nashwauk, MN. Nobody I have talked to in this town have heard of him.

Apollo 11 anniversary

Hey JustinTime, was wondering if you would be interested in working on Aldrin, Collins, or the Apollo 11 article in preparation for the 50th anniversary of the lunar landing. If you would prefer to copyedit my work and other cleanup efforts, that is a great help as well. I know you have some experience with the mission articles, so the Apollo 11 article may be good for you if you would like to work on it. No worries regardless of your choice. Thanks!

Slip up in this edit

At this one you mangled a footnote. Not sure what else. Maybe you can sort it out. Dicklyon (talk) 03:17, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Can't figure out how that happened; the stray text must have been somehow related to the next edit I made to include the Apollo 7 picture of the cockeyed panel (sticky keyboard in a cut-and-paste or something). It seems moot now, and I don't think anything else is wrong. I usually don't make that kind of error. Good catch. JustinTime55 (talk) 18:33, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Number of control sticks

I wrote three because, as the cite says, there were three: One for attitude control, and two (one for each astronaut) for forward/reverse. Since either two or three is a valid description depending on how one counts the sticks, and neither number is really important, it is better to keep me reverted on this edit.

I have just reviewed the page, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

Thanks for your new article on "Back From the Shadows" by Firesign Theatre. The structure of the article is a little confusing: the article is titled after the live DVD, so perhaps the lead paragraph should focus on the DVD as an item that is based on the tour. You currently have the opposite of that.

Gemini

Hello, Justin!

I am planning an update to the Gemini missions, starting with Gemini 1. Since you are both the most recent substantial contributor to that article and also a veteran in WP SF, I wanted to make sure I collaborated with you on the endeavor. My conception was that I would add more on the background, goals, mission details, and legacy of the mission, as I've done with my SOLRAD series.

Do you have any comments or insight? And thank you for all that you do! :) --Neopeius (talk) 15:47, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

Hello. "look there" where? Thanks. MachoCarioca (talk) 03:00, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
Start with Mercury Seven and go to the biographies of all the seven astronauts; check the type of portraits used in their infoboxes.
The important thing is that you start a discussion on Talk:Gordon Cooper if you want to persuade people to change the sytle. There is also Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Spaceflight where you might want to put a brief query to the spaceflight project members where the best place to discuss this issue is. JustinTime55 (talk) 12:23, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
Well, I know the biographies, I know the images but I didn't find out any consensus about what style of images to use or even if there was any discussion about that previously. I need to "persuade people" to change an image? Or persuade you? As I know it stayed there for almost 48 hs, an article with high visibility and a lot of "vigilants" and only you are arguing with that. Ok, this talk is enough for me, your image stays.

Apollo

Hi. The Apollo Lunar Module is the name of the first true spaceship. A kind of clunky name, but a proper name nonetheless. The Apollo command and service module had an RM which lower-cased it, but it does seem to be a proper name to a lot of editors and readers. We are in the 2019 season of Apollo, and it's an honor for editors to edit Apollo and other space related articles. And lots of vandals too. Thanks, and enjoy the 50th.

Edit-warring on Wayne Allyn Root

Stop icon

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 01:12, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

External academic review and publication of Wikipedia pages

Hi Justin. Given the upcoming anniversary of the moon landings, I noticed you did a lot of work on a quite a few related articles. Would you be interested in submitting any for external, academic peer review?

The WikiJournal of Science (www.wikijsci.org) aims to couple the rigour of academic peer review with the extreme reach of the encyclopedia. For existing Wikipedia articles, it's a great way to get additional feedback from external experts. Peer-reviewed articles are dual-published both as standard academic PDFs, as well as having changes integrated back into Wikipedia. This improves the scientific accuracy of the encyclopedia, and rewards authors with citable, indexed publications. It also provides much greater reach than is normally achieved through traditional scholarly publishing.

The WP:WikiJournal article nominations page should allow simple submission of existing Wikipedia pages for external review. T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)talk 06:34, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

2019 US Banknote Contest

US Banknote Contest
November-December 2019

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons.

In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate.

If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here

What do you call them? We call them "ankle-biters" here. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 01:43, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

Their

Your edit comment here was both rude and inaccurate. "Their" very much exists as "singular indeterminate gender" in English. If you don't believe me, ask Merriam-Webster ("used with an indefinite third person singular antecedent"), Dictionary.com ("used with a singular indefinite pronoun or singular noun antecedent in place of the definite masculine his or the definite feminine her"), Cambridge English Dictionary ("Their is also used to refer to a person whose sex is not known"), the AP Style Guide considers it acceptable in some cases. The singular "they" is far from a new invention, we have a reasonably good article on it that is worth reviewing. I suggest that you undo your edit. --Nat Gertler (talk) 16:23, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

You are entitled to your opinion, Nat, as I am entitled to mine, along with 542 other Wikipedians who still consider it substandard English usage. Dictionaries document common usage among everyone, not necessarily users of encyclopedic language. "Singular they", I consider to be substandard, so I meant that there is no gender-neutral word in standard usage.
As for being "rude", I don't believe I was. There was nothing wrong, rude, or unfair to women about changing it to read "each character explores his or her". Derick1259 apparently didn't find it rude either; he apparently agrees with the usage too, and avoided the issue by rewriting it with good humor to use the plural "characters" and "their". JustinTime55 (talk) 13:59, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
There was definitely something rude about the edit summary telling people to "Deal with it", particularly after the false claim that "no such English word exists." You could have left a comment simply stating that you find "he or she" to be more formal and thus more encyclopedic; it still would have been an edit that added unnecessarily clumsy wording into the piece, but it would not have been both false and condescending.
I did find it amusing that you then went and added Template:User -genderneutral to your page, claiming that you support the vernacular when the change that you made went against the vernacular. (And I'm confused why you're only concerned about being "wrong, rude, or unfair to women", emphasis added.)--Nat Gertler (talk) 14:44, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

MOSNUM and science articles

Re this revert, my reading of the relevant part of MOSNUM:

is that SI units are recommended as the primary units in all scientific articles, absent a clear topic-specific reason to the contrary. Given that the use of legacy units such as acres is extremely deprecated in scientific practice, this is not usually controversial.

I will not start revert-warring over this, but I would dispute that my edit was anything more than a trivial change to a MOS-preferred style; unit conversions are normally considered to be minor edits. My suggestion for MOSNUM compliance would be to use the convert template with appropriate precision, something like "...a 1-hectare (2.5-acre) area of the Earth's surface receives a peak 10 megawatts of sunlight power at noon" (with minor rewording).

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

Mach number

Your use of language is incorrect. The reference to the speed of sound IS the “mach number,” BUT, the actual SPEED of sound IS mach one. Believe me, as I am a life-long pilot, since October of 1955 (aged 21), having learned in the USAF Aviation Cadet Programm. I’ve circled the globe, piecemeal, at .82mach in Boeing 707 aircraft for Pan Am (and a goodly portion at 200kts TAS in Douglas C-124 aircraft for the USAF). I have 37 years of cockpit experience using these terms daily. The speed relative to the speed of sound (Mach one) is ones Mach numberer.

List of artificial objects leaving the Solar System

Just curious as to why you changed my edit. You suggested in your edit summary that what I had put in wasn't the meaning of the sentence. However, as it stood, it wasn't grammatically correct. Your addition of a comma basically has the same affect as my previous addition of the word were. I do prefer your version. --82.21.97.70 (talk) 22:17, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

Adding were changes the meaning to two separate clauses: 1. All of these objects are space probes; and 2. Their upper stages were launched by NASA.
The actual intent of the sentence was: 1. Some of these objects are space probes; 2. The ones which aren't space probes are their upper stages; and 3. All of these objects (probes and upper stages) were launched by NASA. JustinTime55 (talk) 22:28, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

I think that, since this was a live broadcast by KRLA, as well a nightclub performance, this must be the first mention of KRLA. Live broadcasts of ticketed performances are historically rare. I am not fussy about a better wording.

You reverted my talk page change [2] as if you thought i was moving or renaming a main space article. I merely extended a comment heading to try to better summarise for all. I think you misunderstood my change, or could you explain please. - Rod57 (talk) 15:22, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

@Rod57:No, I didn't think you were moving or renaming the article. I explained my reasoning in the edit summary: the thread dates from 2004, and is essentially moot. I saw no value in changing the heading of an obsolete post, even to clarify it. It's of no value to people discussing the article as it exists today. In an ideal world, long-lasting talk pages have archival set up, so the obsolete post would be gone, anyway. JustinTime55 (talk) 20:20, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
It'd be best to archive old sections like that, imo. -Fnlayson (talk) 18:43, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Reverted edit on list of humorists

I moved this to Talk:List of humorists where it should have been posted, so that all editors can participate in consensus building. JustinTime55 (talk) 16:54, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

Thank you!

I learned something new about section headings because of your reverts to my recent edits. Thanks for that! Too many editors simply revert without a useful explanation. You were helpful, and it is appreciated. :) 1980fast (talk) 03:56, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

Concerning Edits To The "Human spaceflight" Article And Their Primary Purpose

I would primarily like to inquire concerning the reversion of a quantity of my edits to the "Human spaceflight" article, which you performed recently; in particular, I would primarily like to inquire concerning the justification for the reversion. As a particularly novel Wikipedia editor, I would like to record, for posterity, errors which I remain responsible for producing, for the purpose of avoiding them within future; thus, I would like to lodge a request concerning the statements you provided within your edit summary. Your statement concerning variations of English remains valid; I removed the American English tag due to the presence of several words within the article which utilised British English spelling, insofar as could remain determined and I shall prevent such errors from occurring within future. However, your statement concerning my edits remaining "clearly understood" remains ambiguous; what component of my edits prevents comprehension? I apologise if my request inconveniences you, but I would like to improve upon previous experience and a brief explanation of increased obfuscation resulting from my edits would remain particularly helpful; thank you.

"Rv unnecessary, illiterate, and highly POV edit"

The subject comment was left in the edit summary of the following edit under your name: [3] Because of my "illiteracy", I may be misunderstanding your comment, but it appears to be inconsistent with WP:CIV. Sparkie82 (t•c) 17:26, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

No, it is not uncivil at all, just because you don't like it. By illiteracy, I was referring to nothing more nor less than the difference between "metal" and a medal. By POV, I mean that your edit seemed designed to bash president Bush and also Cosby. President Obama's comments on the matter cover the subject in a balanced way. I see you've removed it by arbitrarily calling it "non-notable". I don't believe it qualifies as non-notable. JustinTime55 (talk) 17:36, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
OK, if you say you were not being uncivil, I'll assume you mean that in good faith. I'll say in good faith that I did not intend my edit to be POV in any way, I was merely attempting to add background so readers would understand the full context of the event and so it would read more clearly. Also, FYI there is significant difference between dyslexia and illiteracy, but perhaps you were just being hyperbolic. Sparkie82 (t•c) 22:17, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks!

I sincerely appreciate the welcome and the help, JustinTime55! ♥

OV-099 revert

Title = Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. Short = In-flight breakup of Space Shuttle 'Challenger'. See: WP:HOWTOSD which says "avoid duplicating information that is already in the title". Do you look at articles via the mobile app? If not then you do not see how the short descript and the article title are redundant. – S. Rich (talk) 21:01, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

W. C. Fields poster on Freaks and Geeks

Hi JustinTime55. I respectfully disagree with you that the Fields poster sighting on Freaks and Geeks is trivial. My husband and I just rewatched the show and I was intrigued by the poster. It took my husband and me about 15 minutes of very creative Googling to figure out who the man in the poster was and I'm just trying to help others on the path to learn more about such an interesting man.

Apollo–Soyuz‎

Hey JustinTime, I was’nt after a debate on who won the space race. My main issue was that quote was out of context for that article. The reason why I added the bit about contraversy was I tried to make a compromise edit with Bilcat, but they just reverted both my edits Ilenart626 (talk) 21:20, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

I'm well aware of the edit history, thank you. We still need to thoughtfully reach consensus on whether or not to mention some think it the end. Many times, reaching consensus requires some debate. JustinTime55 (talk) 21:42, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

Citations on Space Age

Hey Justin, I had added a BBC foreign language citation into the article which you reverted under "citation overkill". Just for your information it is partially a result of an ongoing discussion at WP:NPOVN#First_human_spaceflight, and on the verge of going to WP:RFC due to it on a tense stalemate.193.233.171.17 (talk) 12:56, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Thank you, I'm aware of the NPOVN. You are the one which seems to be defying consensus; another user, ‎@Ilenart626: has also removed your citations from the other two, citing lack of consensus. As the Overkill essay says, simply coat-racking more citations to support your side can be bad form. A Chinese version of BBC doesn't really add anything to verify Gagarin's first spaceflight (which is not in contention anyway). JustinTime55 (talk) 16:05, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
As Chipmunkdavis might say, "tense stalemate" is certainly one way to describe all other editors agreeing that your suggestions are bad. TompaDompa (talk) 14:13, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for the support; glad to see I'm recognized as a "subject matter expert". I've stayed out of the fray; it seems like way too much WP:Wikidrama being made of a dispute which should be easily resolvable by growing the hell up and presenting the verifiable mainstream facts in a NPOV way. These facts are without lack of historical consensus:
  • Gagarin is acknowledged as first human in space and in orbit; as the FAI decided, it's a trivial technicality he didn't land in the craft.
  • Shepard is the first American in space; also first to control his spacecraft and land in it (but no cigar as far as "first in space" goes).
The FAI's pedigree to acquire jurisdiction as the world's authority on spaceflight (strikes me as) a bit dubious, given they were an airsports association; nonetheless, they have become so recognized.
The Ukranian war is tragic, but really has nothing at all to do with this. JustinTime55 (talk) 16:05, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
You're welcome. By this point can that passage be pared down to something like "first to control his spacecraft and land in it" with the Praxis citation? That "land in it" is also a bone of contention between me and User:TompaDompa since for them it's like putting Dyomin's "first grandfather in space" on those articles. If this can be resolved amicably then the RFC would not be needed, saving everyone's time. 193.233.171.17 (talk) 16:28, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
@JustinTime55: I have put a possible last-minute solution involving the paring down of the passage and the addition of footnotes consisting of a near carbon copy from Yuri Gagarin regarding the FAI technicality. In order to help put the drama to rest, we'd be thankful if you can weigh in there, even for once.193.233.171.17 (talk) 13:08, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Big Mac special sauce

Special sauce similar to thousand island dressing is addressed further along in the article; there is no need for it to be in the lead. You did not add quotation marks to all the 'special sauce' terms in the article. Why not? Absolutely Certainly (talk) 18:08, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

  • Good Wikipedia articles are written in WP:summary style, such that the introduction summarizes the main body. So, yes there is need for it to be in the lead. This is so that readers with short attention spans don't necessarily have to read the entire article.
  • I don't know. I guess I don't care if the quotes are used or not, but there's not necessarily a requirement for them all to be consistent. That seems like nitpicking to me. JustinTime55 (talk) 21:14, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
