Flooding

Why are you dividing the section on damage up into the UK and Ireland? Chronological ordering makes more sense surely. Jolly Ω Janner 22:06, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Chronological ordering also affects areas based on their geography. People from Wales and south Britain might look earlier into the article, because there was a seperate storm. People up north might look later on towards the storms that have been flooding this week. It also builds up a patchwork of how the persistant rains cumulated to the flooding point through saturation of the soil. Jolly Ω Janner 22:35, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Did you take this pic? If so, I'll move it to Commons where it can be used on other language Wikipedia and be grouped in the same category as the other flooding images. Jolly Ω Janner 00:23, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

A friend or relative or something? If so I think you need to write the name of the author. I'm no expert on these situations. So long as the person releases it under a creative commons license and knows that then I'm fine with it. Jolly Ω Janner 00:43, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

A user claimed that your photo was photoshopped from this photo. I must admit, I can see huge similarities. The similarity of the cloud patterns ultimately defines it for me. The Picasa image claims the author as "Lorna", however your image claims the auothor as "Diarmuid O'Brien". Has the image been digitaly modified to exagerate the situation? I.e. blurring the quay walls to make it seem as though "The River Lee and the street converge"? Jolly Ω Janner 22:51, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

I've tagged the image for speedy deletion. In future always upload free files to Wikimedia Commons. If it's not your own image and it's not from a site like Flickr, Picasa or Geograph British Isles, which clearly displays its license, then follow the steps at Commons:Commons:OTRS.

If you are indeed the same Vivara who asked about Ramachandran's status as a neurologist on the student doctor forum blog site I salute your temerity in making the change to this entry. As you can see from looking at the history of the page it is difficult to make changes that do not suit Ed Hubbard. Ed is a former graduate student of Ramachandran. He is very dedicated to this entry and he has very strong opinions about much of what is on the page. You are, in my opinion, very correct in making the change. There is no evidence that I can find that VS Ramachandran is a neurologist. There is no evidence that I can find that he is an "MD" or that he has completed a residency in neurology. He does hold the MBBS degree from Stanly Medical College in India. You may be aware that physicians who arrive in the US with the MBBS degree (from Britain, India or Australia, for example) can practice medicine after passing the appropriate exams and completing a residency. However, in the state of California a professor cannot use the "MD" designation unless they are licensed to practice medicine in California (or another state). It may be that Ramachandran has completed advanced training in neurology in a country outside the U.S. and that he considers himself to be a neurologist. The only way to determine this would be to examine his CV. Unfortunately, the University of California no longer posts a copy of this document for public inspection.

Inappropriate References for the University Times

My modifications have been undone several times. However please refer to updated sources, the mandate of Editor of the University Times is of one year in duration, meaning the person in office changes every single year, you have referred to pages presenting the Officers of 19/20, which is not accurate anymore. Please refer to this article: http://www.universitytimes.ie/2020/02/cormac-watson-elected-editor-of-the-university-times-defeating-susie-crawford/ The changes have been made on the article. JackK19 09:35, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

@JackK19: You are incorrect. The term of office of the editor of The University Times, as with the officers of Trinity College Dublin Students' Union, runs from July until July. The editor and officers are typically elected in February and March and do not take office until July. As such, Donal MacNamee is currently the editor of The University Times, as you will see from this article, in which MacNamee is credited as being editor on April 14th, 2020. Similarly, you will see that Cormac Watson is credited as being deputy editor on April 16th, 2020. If you require further evidence, which I suspect you might, here is an article from June 2019 that describes MacNamee as the "incoming Editor of The University Times". As in, he was due to take office the following week and thus his 12-month term is still in effect. I have, once again, reverted your edits. Vivara (talk) 14:37, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for the precisions. --JackK19 (talk) 09:31, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
