Hi,

I managed to remove your edit in Exoplanet Names 2 during an edit conflict. Sorry about that :( I went to paste your text back in, but somebody else has editted that entry since. Your edit text is below, if you wish to integrate it into the explanation. --Pudder (talk) 10:17, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

• As the title text a reference to What if?'s 53, 54 and comic 1551: Pluto. Due to a drain in the Earth's ocean the Netherlands have not to worry about getting flooded, anymore and take the opportunity to conquer the world (including Antarctica becoming South Netherlands) in What if 53, Mars (New Netherlands) in What if 54, and a section of Pluto (again: New Netherlands) in comic 1551. This may also be a possible reference to 1519: Venus, but there seems to be no relation to the other conquests of the Netherlands.

Before I throw away the workings out I did, I changed the little calculator I did (for various hours-and-days-in-a-week combinations, in case it gave me anything surprising to report that I'd missed) to do hours-and-days-in-a-year. And did it with Julian years (365.25×24) because it was more accurate than using non-leaping years, but more useful than the hour-fractional Gregorian type. Anyway, I thought you might be interested....

• Factoring the whole hours gives 2*3²*487 (unpromising numbers, I know!), which gives twelve possible 'X hours in Y days' to make up a 'regular' J-Year. 487 18-hour days is by far the closest 'normal' cycle (the next longest day is 487 hours, and of course just 18 of them!). Of course, the daylights drift from solar-time even just looking at year-end (barring the additional Gregorian drift, it does of course repeat 'nicely' every four years).
• Giving it seconds of resolution gives us 180 options to evenly split a Julian Year into integer-seconds per day. 400 'days' of 78894 seconds (487 must feature somewhere in any factorisation!) or 360 days of 87660 on the other side of the 365.25×86400 (and not purely integered) 'normal'.
• And 365.2524 days (of 86400 seconds) isn't even an integer, so you'd need centisecond resolution (2⁷*3⁵*71*1429, giving 192 options and 324 or 384 as 'nearest to 'normal' numbers of days, and a headache when deciding how to allocate centiseconds within each day). Not so useful!

Assuming I copied the right details across (if I fell down, I'm going to assume its on the prime factors, perhaps missing one, or a bad copypasta at some point), but I'm deleting it all now anyway. Just FYI. For critique, if nothing else... :p 172.70.162.186 16:38, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

You user page - is marked for deletion

Hi Elektrizikekswerk

Someone has marked your userpage for deletion. And I can see it was not you who created it in the first place. Would you like me to delete it, or would you rather write something in it? Or just remove the marked for deletion tag?

Regards the active admin --Kynde (talk) 13:25, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi! Why should it be deleted? Just remove the tag. Thanks! Elektrizikekswerk (talk) 13:28, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

Sorry, that would be my fault. I was marking up a lot of user pages that various users had created just for the sake of not having a red link and marked your user page for deletion. Seeing as you want to keep it like that, I have removed the tag. 42.book.addict^{Talk to me!} 17:33, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

(Started writing this before 42 replied, but after they'd reverted to don't delete. Hen got dragged away before I could post. Still, might be useful to see what I'd put.) You can check its history, but:

• It was created in the first place not by you or, seemingly, for you. If I remember correctly, it was during one of the "I don't like seeing red links" phases that occasionally logged-in users go through (see a signature link in a Talk page, create it so it's valid).
• Then it was later marked for deletion by someone in a "let's try and clean up unused pages" phase, as you'd clearly had no vested interest in it.
• Then later unmarked by someone in "why are there so many Pages To Delete?" phase, then that reversed by someone probably in a "nothing's lost if it is" phase.

Not that it was in rapid danger of being actually deleted. But, if it had been, you could always have created it again, I'm guessing... As of now (not at all imminently deleted, but still 'empty'), I might suggest you think of something to say there. It would at least prevent further deletion-ping-pong happening! 172.71.26.100 21:12, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

if you don’t want to put anything about yourself on it, you could always just redirect it to this talk page! 42.book.addict^{Talk to me!} 21:50, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

Possible, but... confusing. I'd rather see a User page say "I don't have anything to say about myself, but you can try to chat to me on my <link>Talk: page></link>" than go to a User: page and find myself wondering why it all looks like (very like!) a User Talk: one. Of course, each user can do what they like, and often do, but I don't consider that a good suggestion. I mean, it's not even got novelty value..! 162.158.74.69 00:58, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

many people do it and its even listed as an option on WP:USERPAGE 42.book.addict^{Talk to me!} 01:03, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for all your input, I hope my solution is fine :) Elektrizikekswerk (talk) 07:56, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

Not bad. I smiled. Can I of course now point out that it's now not blank? ;p 172.68.186.42 10:50, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
