User talk:Najawin

Warring States FPW
Yes, I recently stumbled across that page of yours and was admiring it mightily :) As both its caretaker and the user who made it redundant to Tardis, I see the Faction Paradox Wiki as the giant, free-for-all sandbox where we can more beautifully cover the aspects of the Faction Paradox universe that grate against TW's conventions, eg my shot-down merger of Interference - Book One and Interference - Book Two into Interference (novel), or the finer points of who exactly left Carmen Yeh on that ElleryCorp shipping vessel. So by all means, the inventive timeline trickery of User:Najawin/Sandbox 4 would have a welcome home over at the Faction Paradox Wiki! – N8  ( ☎ / 👁️ ) 02:27, September 12, 2020 (UTC)

Quantum Mechanics for Audio Story Editing
Hey Najawin, hope you're keeping well! I just finished listening to the audio story Ghost Walk. There's actually a bit of quantum mechanics involved in the story. Nothing crazy, but I made a little explanation in the "Notes" section explaining the differences between its use in the story and its actual definition in real life (they involve time in it to a certain degree but not in a sensible way). I was wondering if you could give it a quick check to make sure it's publishable in case an admin comes along and is confused by it, as I'm sure you have more experience with that sort of stuff than I do.

 * I see. I would have to play the audio back and give you the exact lines to work with but from what I understood, they were trying to use the analogy that "the more certain/exact a point in time they try to reach, the less likely they are to reach it" I believe was what was thrown in the story. The story, unfortunately, never explicitly states that it is comparing it the the uncertainty principle, it just seemed to be implied. I will have a look at those Pre-narrative Briefings (short story) as soon as possible, thank you for providing them.
 * In terms of the time-energy uncertainty relation, I only mention it because in the story, they apply the "abstract" understanding of the Uncertainty principle, in other words, the popular "misconception" and erroneously apply it to time. However, debates on "time-energy" uncertainty aside (thank you for providing those articles, will make for some nice reading this weekend), I only brought it up to explain that time in non-relativistic QM is not thought of or treated the same way as position and momentum in Heisneberg's Uncertainty Principle, as the story erroneously does. So I thought it would be a good idea to explain the "actual" "uncertainty relation", namely the one provided in non-relativistic Quantum Mechanics, at least according to my NRQM textbook (Townsend, A Modern Approach to Quantum Mechanics, 2nd Edt). I will edit it up and reply to your talkpage tomorrow to see if I have properly fixed up the section. Thank you again for all your help. DoctorQuoi ☎  06:10, September 15, 2020 (UTC)DoctorQuoi
 * Indeed, while we used Sakurai throughout my graduate course on NRQM, I would continually go back to Townsend, especially since so many of the more difficult derivations in Sakurai are done and explained a lot more clearly in Townsend. It's one of my most prized books.... that and every page is full of notes haha! Alright then, I will either bring it up on SOTO's talk page or another admin's tomorrow. Thank you for all clarifications! DoctorQuoi ☎  06:19, September 15, 2020 (UTC)DoctorQuoi

Re:Concerning admin nom
Hi, thanks for reaching out! You're right that User:CzechOut is indeed the best person to direct the question to, for two reasons: he was the one to reach the decision for Borisashton candidacy being cut short, and moreover because he's not only an admin at Tardis Wiki, but also he works at Fandom, so he has a better grasp at the ins-and-outs of the more specific details.

But, while I can't speak for him, I can look at some other precedent and try to give you a nudge of perspective. The mere fact that a user was blocked previous to candidacy doesn't exclude them from applying for an admin position (for example, User:SOTO had received two short blocks - for other reasons). I believe the reason Boris got unlucky is because he violated not just local policy - but a Term of Use. Though, again, only CzechOut will be able to confirm this for you.

Re:Template rename
Hi, you have to add the template like this for it to show up properly: [template]. Otherwise, all you'll get is also appearing on every page you add {[tlx|Proposed Identities of The Enemy}}. I'll perform the rename now. OncomingStorm12th ☎  02:55, October 1, 2020 (UTC)
 * Huh, weird, it should have updated, but sometimes that takes a bit to update. At any rate, thanks for reaching out. OncomingStorm12th ☎  17:07, October 1, 2020 (UTC)

Re:Images
Ah, I've figured out why the post is inaccessible. It's in a private group. (Specifically this one, if you're interested.) Epsilon  (Contact me) 09:52, October 2, 2020 (UTC)

Re: Oh no
Heh! That instantly made me think of Oh No It Isn't!. Worse things to be reminded of, I'll say! And thank you for bringing that thread up again. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎  16:55, October 2, 2020 (UTC)

Re: Curse of Fatal Death
Haha, fair enough. Well, maybe once my thesis is over I can spare some time to browse the forums! Thanks for the relevant link! DoctorQuoi ☎  18:52, October 2, 2020 (UTC)DoctorQuoi

Re: BotE
Crikey, I'm so sorry I missed your talk page note about The Book of the Enemy! The way you've done it on looks phenomenal; it's good that the template isn't actually structured around the anthology, since as you've noted, there are plenty of suggestions for the enemy's identity in other stories. – N8  ( ☎ / 👁️ ) 19:04, October 2, 2020 (UTC)

Admin categories
It's a little bit of both, as it's a little hard to tell if people are reading and just not editing (as I have been for a while). However you're right in that it can be confusing for new users unless they want look through a user's contributions. I've done a bit of a re-organisation and edit of the page. --Tangerineduel / talk 05:11, October 3, 2020 (UTC)

Vandal blocking
Ah, thank you! Done. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎  09:23, October 4, 2020 (UTC)
 * And so I was! Done once more. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎  09:06, October 15, 2020 (UTC)

Story arcs
So, our earlier discussion at Talk:Story arc is being continued in this forum thread, due to a future release, and I was wondering if you could add your perspective? Never Forget The Day The 456 Arrived ☎  13:19, October 6, 2020 (UTC)
