Revision as of 16:17, 26 January 2012

If you leave a message for me here, I'll respond here. If I leave a message on your talk page, I'll look there for a response (but of course you can respond here if you want to).

Hello, I am not a scientist but reading about this technology led me to try and find a layman summery on WP and when it didn't exist I did the best I could to create one. I think "through the use of" is pretty ambiguous like "incepted" in the article, possibly badly interpreted by me. The article does not state how exactly signals were sent through the visual cortex beside fMRI - most likely keeping keeping profitable tech under wraps? I'd could guess at patterns of flashes of light through a monitor or computer screen, or even just keeping eyes open while inside the the fMRI and the light flashes in there. Perhaps you could contact someone involved with your credentials and find out as I am very interested in this. Thankyou. Abacusbox (talk) 06:11, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looking further, I see that the methodology is described in detail in the Supporting Online Material, which I am able to access. It's a bit complicated, but I'll try to add some explanation (or if you would like to do it yourself, I'll hold off to give you a chance.)

That's cool, I don't really understand Decoded Neurofeedback or have that much experience editing WP, I'm glad you found it Abacusbox (talk) 14:37, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of pov tags

Hi, have you read Wikipedia:NPOVD#What_is_an_NPOV_dispute.3F? Please do not remove pov tags until the dispute (wich is still active on the talkpage and has been going on for almost half a year) has been resolved.ViezeRick (talk) 17:58, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User in question has also made changes to the text of the lead without consensus.Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 18:01, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The proper use of pov tags is to draw attention to an issue, not to force changes into an article against consensus. This issue is getting plenty of attention. Looie496 (talk) 18:24, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The proper use is also to alert the reader that the neutrality of the article is being disputed, which is the case. The text changes where not intentional, and have been removed after I found I was restoring those as well.
With plenty of attention the dispute should be solved within a small amount of time, allowing removal of the tag once it is resolved. Since there is plenty of attention, there is (imo) no need to remove the tag prematurely... But even if there was, there is no rule that says the tag can be removed while the dispute is ongoing.ViezeRick (talk) 19:10, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article Feedback Tool - things to do

Hey guys! A couple of highly important things to do over the next few weeks:

  • We've opened a Request for Comment on several of the most important aspects of the tool, including who should be able to hide inappropriate comments. It will remain open until 20 January; I encourage everyone with an interest to take part :).
  • A second round of feedback categorisation will take place in a few weeks, so we can properly evaluate which design works the best and keeps all the junk out :P. All volunteers are welcome and desired; there may be foundation swag in it for you!

Regards, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 18:50, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A bowl of strawberries for you!

Thanks for all your help in designing the new article feedback tools, so we can provide a better user experience and engage more readers to become editors over time!

Even though I am a newbie on Wikipedia, I have learned a lot from you already, and look forward to a great collaboration with you in 2012! Fabrice Florin (talk) 21:19, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article Feedback Tool

Hey guys; apologies for the belated nature of this notification; as you can probably imagine, the whole blackout thing kinda messed with our timetables :P. Just a quick reminder that we've got an office hours session tomorrow at 19:00 in #wikimedia-office, where we'll be discussing the results of the hand-coding and previewing some new changes. Hope to see you there :). Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 22:14, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am American

There was a note saying this on my German Wikipedia talk page, which was deleted, possibly to hide this fact. Or because he simply didn't like the idea of Germans and Russians interbreeding.
