Hi Maury Markowitz. Thank you for your work on Bed of nails defense. Another editor, Klbrain, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Thanks for bringing another interesting article to Wikipedia. The referencing is rather Garvin-heavy, but given that it was his idea, and that he had little support, I suppose that's not surprising. Good luck with the DYK proposal!

Klbrain (talk) 14:31, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

There is a fascinating quote in the reference you added...
"Since our own silo-killing force was to be housed in those very Minuteman silos which were assumed to be effec- tively destroyable by the Soviet Union, it was not clear how conversion of Minute- man to a force of silo killers would in itself counter that danger to the Minuteman force, except by the threat of preemptive attack. Indeed, were a force of Soviet silo killers really to materialize, it is likely that the Defense Department would request funds and approval to develop and deploy mobile ICBMs."
Basically, he posits that adding counterforce to Minuteman would actually be counter to the goal of giving the US flexibility, because it would demand the Soviets do the same thing with their missiles and thus increase the risks of a first-strike by either side. The calculus of nuclear war during that era is absolutely fascinating. Maury Markowitz (talk) 15:57, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Interference graph is a general technique usable for problems other than register allocation. Rather than accepting this as Interference graph (compiler construction) or somesuch as a solution, I think it would be better to improve the existing article on the problem being solved.

The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.

Take the survey here.

Proposed deletion of Canada Remote Systems

Notice

The article Canada Remote Systems has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP: GNG. I could not find any sources to establish notability.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Stellarium

Your article Stellarium has no sources. Are there any that you used to create the article? Sushidude21! (talk) 02:45, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

@Sushidude21!: Yeah that is not an article and obviously should not have been created. WP:NOTDICTIONARY. Any experienced editor knows the policies and guidelines saying that stubs should not be created in general, that WP:RS is absolutely mandatory ultimately under pain of blocking. This content should be in another article, but only when cited. Its contents don't even allude to any justification, and the designation of 'stub' is just an admission thereof. — Smuckola(talk) 01:51, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
So should it be deleted/draftified? Sushidude21! (talk) 01:57, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
@Sushidude21!: As far as I know, yes. Most of this stub's content and the work put into it was to signal that it shouldn't exist, or to say what it is not. I mean that's some commitment! This should have been in a personal sandbox instead of just a needless violation. This user has a many years long history of abandoning huge and totally uncited essays of WP:OR. As an admin, it's his job to block people for doing this. — Smuckola(talk) 02:27, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
Amusing though, no? Maury Markowitz (talk) 03:16, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

DYK for Light Weight Air Warning Radar

On 9 December 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Light Weight Air Warning Radar, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Australian Light Weight Air Warning Radar was once loaded using canoes and later manhandled up a 200 foot cliff? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Light Weight Air Warning Radar. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Light Weight Air Warning Radar), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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.

Hello, Maury Markowitz. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Rolls-Royce CV12".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 01:23, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
