Re:Statistic Removal from Brain Drain[edit]
The problem with the table at [1] is that it applies only to immigrants who have been in Canada less than six months, as can be verified by reading the full report the table is attached to. The actual figures for all immigrants can be found at [2]. They show that as a whole immigrants have slightly higher than average unemployment rate, but not enough to have much of an impact. - SimonP (talk) 13:13, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice[edit]
Hi,
As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.
We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.
You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.
We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Pseudoscalar[edit]
(I posted this elsewhere but since you made the penultimate talkpage post for the page I figured you'd be the person to ask)
Whilst this is supposedly my area of expertise, I feel I need some advice regarding this article. As you can see from the edit history, I removed the Clifford algebra section, not because it is wrong per se, but for the reason that it was inconsistent with the rest of the article. However, despite a Google scholar search, I'm still not too clear on what a pseudoscalar is, or if there really are two distinct definitions.
If we are to take the statement that "The pseudoscalar is the top-grade element of a Clifford algebra" as truth, then it is wrong to state that it need commute with all other elements and change sign under parity inversion. These are both true if the algebra has an odd underlying basis (number of basis vectors), but neither are true if the underlying basis is even.
Unfortunately, some of the same literature that state one definition seem to suggest that the other is equally general. Thus I am unsure how to proceed.
Given that only odd-dimensional space possesses anything like a pseudoscalar as currently defined in the article, I am slightly suggesting scrapping the current content and replacing it with the Clifford algebra definition (the bit I removed, perhaps wrongly). I am also questioning the article's status on the importance scale as "low", given the number of references in physics publications.
This paper seems to introduce the commuting and parity-inversion properties but in passing for a geometry in which this is true. [[3]]
Please may I have some advice.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

File:SpTs pickles1998.png[edit]
Very nice on File:SpTs pickles1998.png! Would you mind if I moved the file to Commons? — Huntster (t @ c) 22:48, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks! You're more than welcome to copy it across or if you let me know how to do it, I can, since it's probably something useful to know around here. Also, any suggestions on the image are welcome. Incidentally, if it does move, would it be better that I make any updates there? I'm not sure how the files here at English Wikipedia and the Commons are linked. Warrickball (talk) 08:10, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
- Okay, I've moved it to Commons under the filename File:Dwarf star spectra (luminosity class V) from Pickles 1998.png (we always want filenames that are accessible and descriptive, rather than coded. They don't need to be short). Only admins can copy files across projects, so I would suggest uploading any future files directly to Commons, since it is a repository of free files that any Wikimedia project can access, whereas if a file is saved to en.wikipedia, only our local project can use it. Any updates or modifications to the file (or description) should be made at Commons. Please ask any questions that come to mind about any topic, I'm very happy to support file creators! — Huntster (t @ c) 11:13, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
