Mainly, I have two reasons for disagreement. First, it doesn't follow the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings)|Manual of Style]]. Second, it ruins all the links that were previously links to the specific quests. Now, it simply links to start of the article. --[[User:Ricky81682|Ricky81682]] ([[User talk:Ricky81682|talk]]) 07:33, May 4, 2005 (UTC) == [[Toco Beach]] == As I mentioned on the [[Talk:Toco Beach|Talk]] page, I am confused by your "Toco Beach" article. I can't figure out what beach you have described. The name ''Toco Beach'' is sometimes applied to Salibea beach, but I can't reconcile your description with what I know of the place. Are you referring to some other beach? If anything it sounds like Grande Riviere. [[User:Guettarda|Guettarda]] 16:11, 4 May 2005 (UTC) *Correct me if im wrong, but i believe Grand Riviere is the actual area, not the beach. I had been there atleast on 5 seperate occasions and my assumption that the actual beach (''w/ 2 hotels, names escape me; of importance? must i be more diligent, and a lagoon'') was called Toco (and alternatively TOKO) ::Grande Riviere is about 10 miles past Toco. Two small hotels on the beach (whose names I can't recall right now) and a few guest houses going up the hill. What is commonly called "Toco Beach" (strictly speaking, Salybia Beach) is near the light house - ~10 miles east of GR. Separate town, only lumped together because people tend to call everything past Matura "Toco". [[User:Guettarda|Guettarda]] 17:44, 4 May 2005 (UTC) :::The hotels: [http://www.mtplaisir.com/ Mount Plaisir Estate Hotel] and [http://www.legrandealmandier.com/ Le Grande Almandier]. [[User:Guettarda|Guettarda]] 17:55, 4 May 2005 (UTC) *Then i guess you are probably right, ill go change that around if you havent already. Just to make sure however, this Salybia Beach, is the one RIGHT down the road from the clinic and about 2 miles off of shark river (may also be local name)? No - Shark River is west of Grande Riviere. Toco/Salybia beach is near the lighthouse - about 1/2 an hour (to make a wild guess) ''before'' you get to GR. Best thing might be to rename the article [[Grande Riviere]] and expand it to cover both the town and the bay. [[User:Guettarda|Guettarda]] 20:44, 4 May 2005 (UTC) *Okay, that sounds like a plan, i dont have much information on the town, and since it isnt the main focus i probably wont put much in, but I could research that and include something. I have some changes to make to another article first (i just cant get anything right...) and ill start on this. By the way, i see that there is a [[Trinidad]] article, and a [[Trinidad and Tobago]] article. Is this just because of redundancy or is the former supposed to be solely about THAT island (if so, it is horribly under-developed)? [[User:Curran919|Curran919]] 20:55, 4 May 2005 (UTC) The [[Trinidad]] article is supposed to be just about Trinidad. Until late last year it was just a paragraph, explaining that Trinidad is the larger island, etc. Unfortunately, someone foudn the page and expanded it into a larger article - probably under the assumption that there was no "Trinidad and Tobago" article. So what we have now is a terribly unbalanced article - but of ancient history, a rather unbalanced account of "now"...I have been hesitant to edit that page because I don't really know what to do with it. Most of what you could write about Trinidad should better fall into one of the appropriate "Trinidad and Tobago" articles. It's different with [[Tobago]] - there is lots of room for Tobago-only material...you could say a lot about Tobago that doesn't really apply to "Trinidad and Tobago", but no nearly as much about "Trinidad" that doesn't apply to "Trinidad and Tobago". Of course, you could cut the pre-1889 stuff out of [[History of Trinidad and Tobago]] and put it into the [[History of Trinidad]], then have a separate [[History of Tobago]] and restrict the [[History of Trinidad and Tobago]] to that period where they were united. Unfortunately, the history of each island continued across the union...the political and economic developments span that time period (you wouldn't, for example, want to have one article on [[Indian immigration to Trinidad]] and another on [[Indian immigration to Trinidad and Tobago]]. As for enough info about the town - I have written over 30 short stubs about towns in Trinidad, have about 240 in [[List of cities in Trinidad and Tobago]] (which is a list of cities, towns and villages...long story). I will expand them as I get my hands on info, but there is nothing wrong with a stub as long as it has the potential to be expanded. (You might want to have a look at [[:Category:Trinidad and Tobago]] and the subcategories (and sub-subcategories) to see what exists in terms of articles. [[User:Guettarda|Guettarda]] 21:30, 4 May 2005 (UTC) There is a "Move" tab on all pages (up at the top). You can move a page as long as the destination is either blank or has a redirect. More than that and you need to get an admin to do the move. Of course, it's generally not good to move a page without talking to the other editors involved. So what is your connection to Trinidad? I realise from Burgundavia's page that you lived there - when and for how long? Just curious. Thanks. [[User:Guettarda|Guettarda]] *I lived there from 1997-2001, in Bayshore; went to ISPS (im 17 now). I find this whole wikipedia thing friggin awesome, so i am trying to apply what limited knowledge and resources I have (spending most my time on [[RuneScape]] articles). Whats ''your'' connection to T'dad? [[User:Curran919|Curran919]] :I'm from Trinidad, although I have lived in Canada (1973-1979) and the US (1994-2001 and 2004- ). Lived in [[San Fernando, Trinidad and Tobago|San Fernando]], [[Marabella]], South Oropouche, [[Gasparillo]], [[Curepe]] and [[Chaguanas]]. I attended [[Naparima College]] and [[University of the West Indies|UWI]], before doing my PhD at [[Michigan State University]]. I have mostly added TT related material here, although I have also done some in [[ecology]]-related articles. Been here since September, been addicted since about December. [[User:Guettarda|Guettarda]] 15:55, 5 May 2005 (UTC) :>>>> I'm an Environmental Science student from Trinidad as well, and to cast some clarification as to the "Toco Beach" that you're talking about, I believe that the name of it is Saline Bay. It's about 2 mins or less from the lighthouse, am I right? == Image copyright == You need to address the copyright issue of your image of the [[Pitch Lake]] at [[Wikipedia:Possibly_unfree_images#Phase_II_-_May_11]] and on the image itself or it is likely to be deleted. Thanks. [[User:Guettarda|Guettarda]] 17:07, 12 May 2005 (UTC) *I left it up there, even though I could delete it. Can you confirm the licence that your father releases this under?

A while ago I found the sentence "One needs at least [[trichromacy|trichromatic]] [[color vision]] for there to be a distinction between spectral and non-spectral colors" on that page. To be clear, what that sentence does *not* mean is that you need to be a trichromat to distinguish spectral colors. It means that spectral colors are a distinct class from non-spectral colors for trichromats. But, I believe this statement to be inaccurate. In some cases, a theoretical dichromat will be perceive some non-spectral colours. This is not about specifically human color vision, but about the theory of color vision with a given number of photoreceptors. As [Dichromacy] stated (before you edited it), *sometimes* two spectral lights are needed to match a color perceived by a dichromat. Consider a dichromat where the frequency sensitivity curves of the photoreceptors (A and B) are disjoint (no overlap). It's clear that non-spectral colours exist for this dichromat: any time *both* photoreceptors are stimulated, the resulting colour cannot be identified with a single spectral light. I'm not sure how to make this clearer. In fact all that is needed is for there to be some frequencies at which the spectral sensitivity of the photoreceptors does not overlap. That creates the possibility of non-spectral colors. So, I edited the sentence "One needs at least [[trichromacy|trichromatic]] [[color vision]] for there to be a distinction between spectral and non-spectral colors" to read "One needs at least [[dichromacy|dichromatic]] [[color vision]] for there to be a distinction between spectral and non-spectral colors" so as to make clear that it is possible for some colours perceived by a dichromat to be non-spectral, i.e. they cannot be created by a single spectral light. In short, I believe your recent edits to [[Spectral color]] and [[Dichromacy]] are misguided in some significant ways. I get that you have personal experience of protanopia and I respect that. <small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Theoh|Theoh]] ([[User talk:Theoh#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Theoh|contribs]]) 13:49, 13 October 2022 (UTC)</small>  :Hi, thanks for the message. :I wrote the paragraph below before I completely understood your objection (I think I do now). In case I am misunderstanding again, I'll keep it below, but otherwise it doesnt have much to do with how I understand your objection now: that my original statement was only true when the sensitivity curves overlap. Fair enough, I agree. If you have two disjoint sensitivity curves with no overlap, then spectral light can only excite the extremes of the chromaticity channel. Hell, I may even go as far as to say that there is no spectral locus in that case, and you'd have ONLY non-spectral colors. However, I am fairly sure that such vision systems do not exist. The distinction is therefore purely hypothetical/academic. All forms of color vision in vertebrates have neighboring opsins that overlap with each other, even in the cases like mice that have huge space between their SWS1 + LWS curves. :I do think your edit is also misleading, given that any REAL dichromats will ''not'' see a distinction but I think we can find a compromise, depending on what you meant by: :"''In fact all that is needed is for there to be some frequencies at which the spectral sensitivity of the photoreceptors does not overlap.''" I would say that there needs to be some wavelengths between them where neither are excited... not sure if that's what you meant here. If not, then see my alternative answer below the line. :---------------------- :I'm afraid I must double down on the assertion. Dichromats see no non-spectral colors. This is not based on my personal experience. In fact, personal experience would tell me that dichromats DO have an innate understanding of hue vs. saturation. A dichromat has two cones and those cones MUST have disparate sensitivity curves. If they are not disparate, then the subject is a monochromat. The dichromat's color space is two dimensional. You can describe those dimensions as distimulus values (M and S excitation), or you can transform it into a more intuitive form (equivalent to [[opponent process]] channels) with a luminosity channel/dimension and chromaticity channel/dimension (let's call it ''Chr''). ''Chr'' would therefore be equivalent to the ratio (or difference) of the cone excitations. Again, assuming M and S curves (since that represents my protanopia), a 400nm light excites only the S cone, and therefore ''Chr'' is at a minimum. a 700nm light excites only the M cone, and therefore ''Chr'' is at a maximum. The entire range of possible ''Chr'' values can be evoked by a spectral light. When you introduce non spectral light, there is no ''Chr'' value and obviously no luminosity value that can be excited that wasn't already excitable by spectral light. Ergo, all colors are spectral colors and there are not additional 'non-spectral' colors. "''*sometimes* two spectral lights are needed to match a color perceived by a dichromat.''" This is simply not true. If you stimulate both cones at their peak wavelengths simultaneously, this is equivalent to stimulating the point of overlap of the sensitivity curves of the two cones (once you account for cone mosaic and increase the luminosity). In both cases, dichromats experience a neutral color, i.e. gray. This is why protanopes and deuteranopes perceive cyan as gray, because cyan is at the point where the two remaining cone sensitivity functions overlap.[[User:Curran919|Curran919]] ([[User talk:Curran919#top|talk]]) 14:37, 13 October 2022 (UTC) ::I put a footnote on the statement in [[spectral color]] to elucidate.

[[User:Curran919|Curran919]] ([[User talk:Curran919#top|talk]]) 14:45, 13 October 2022 (UTC) :::Hi, :::I think the original statement on [[Spectral color]] was about whether it was logically possible for there to be a conceptual distinction between spectral and non-spectral colors. As it reads now, it's a statement about whether dichromats can distinguish spectral and non-spectral colors. As I understand it, even trichromats can't do that, it's a purely theoretical classification. :::You're right that the sensitivity curves need to have no overlap for the non-spectral colors to exist for a dichromat, my bad. If a non-spectral color is a metameric match for a spectral light (your cyan example) then I agree with you that there's no reason to call it non-spectral. :::Cheers :::[[User:Theoh|Theoh]] ([[User talk:Theoh|talk]]) 18:31, 13 October 2022 (UTC) ::::(I have made an edit which I hope you will agree with. The key point here is whether the categories of "spectral color" and "non-spectral color" exist for dichromats, trichromats etc., in other words, whether the distinction exists. The notion of an observer *distinguishing* spectral colors from non-spectral colors doesn't seem appropriate to me (& I think you are the one who put it in). The qualitative experience of a spectral color is no different from that of a non-spectral color, I have no way to distinguish which kind of color I'm looking at. In theory spectral colours are purer, more like hues from the rainbow, but there's no way to definitely make the distinction, in my experience. They're just the theoretical limit of narrowband light) [[User:Theoh|Theoh]] ([[User talk:Theoh|talk]]) 20:43, 14 October 2022 (UTC) :::::[[User:Theoh|@Theoh]] looks good!

[[User:Curran919|Curran919]] ([[User talk:Curran919#top|talk]]) 19:10, 31 January 2024 (UTC) == Human-Centricists == Hey there. When you replied to me on "colour vision", you told me that human-centricists sometime REMOVE animal info just for the sake of it. Well, for the past few months I and I think a few others have been trying to deal with an infamous human-centricist that goes by "Autisticeditor 20". This guy likes to change a LOT of biology articles links to using human anatomy links, even in articles that aren't talking exclusively about humans, and sometimes even in animal species articles, and he has gotten in trouble for many of these. He also has a record of trashing others for removing his edits and some of them are also really threatening. He's a guy I both want to revert his human anatomy links in non human articles because it wasn't appropriate to do so, but also I don't want to mess with him as he's a really scary guy. Have you ever dealt with him, and what can I do? [[User:LoverOfAllAnimalsActivist|LoverOfAllAnimalsActivist]] ([[User talk:LoverOfAllAnimalsActivist|talk]]) 07:35, 7 February 2024 (UTC) :@[[User:LoverOfAllAnimalsActivist|LoverOfAllAnimalsActivist]] No, I've never dealt with him and I stick away from the genital/reproductive articles, which seems to be his main haunt. I don't really have the bandwidth for joining in drama that doesn't relate to me (I'm not exactly a veteran here...). I don't know why you would be scared of a wikipedian though, just because they act neurodivergently sometimes. Just revert if you think the edit is regressive, give an explanatory reversion reason and start a discussion on the article's talk page to cover your bases and maybe attract some support. If they unrevert and you still care, then escalate it. At a cursory glance, I see that their recent edits involved making a clearer distinction between [[polygyny]] and [[polygyny in animals]], which is not emblematic of non-human erasure. Dunno... don't be afraid of the revert button, just be kind when you use it.
