Intuition

I noticed that you created a page Intuition (gut feeling), but I was not sure how it was different from Intuition (knowledge). I think generally these are quite closely related concepts (ie in common language, they are not seperate in their meaning). Would you be opposed to merging the information in the article you created into the existing article? Cheers, --TeaDrinker 04:29, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Howdy again. I went ahead and added a proposed deletion (see WP:PROD) tag to the article since it seemed to be essentially the same as Intuition (knowledge). If you disagree, you are welcome to remove the tag. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page, User_talk:TeaDrinker, to get in touch with me. Thanks, --TeaDrinker 05:38, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The intuition I'm referring to is not mathematical "knowledge", but rather a spontaneous nudge / push / urge that shows up in our throughts, directing our actions (if we follow it) in preparation for an unknown future* event. The intuition I've experienced doesn't make you privy to the future event, rather it tells you what to do immediately, without any indication of why. It is only in retrospect that the why becomes apparent.

I'd be happy to send you one of my papers on Intuition so you have a clearer idea of how it differs from knowledge. Then maybe you can help me craft a better Intuition section that deals with 'gut feelings'. I'm not on Wikipedia often, so please understand it might take me a while to respond. I've added an email to my profile in hopes it will help me to stay connected to activities here.

I use future in a Newtonian kind of way, understanding that time is not linear.

Howdy and thanks for the note. I have gone ahead and left a note with the admin who actually deleted the page (User:Kungfuadam), requesting it be restored for further discussion. Unfortunately, s/he is on vacation at present, so it may be a week or so before anything actually occurs (if you think a faster response is needed, we can get another admin to do it, but I didn't see a time critical element). I still am not clear on the distinction; but I am well outside my own training (some undergrad work in Human Behavioral Ecology). What we can do, provided the page is restored, is to get a more full discussion of deletion or merger with Intuition (knowledge). A reasonable method is to propose the page for a deletion discussion (called article for deletion), which is a seven day discussion. That might be the most fruitful.

In the mean time, if the page is based primarily in your own work (particualrly if the material is not published in peer reviewed journals), you may want to check out the policy on original research. That may come up in a dicussion. Feel free to contact me if I can help with anything else. Thanks for the work on Wikipedia! --TeaDrinker 21:02, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was going to email the above to you as well, since you note that you don't always get the messages quickly, however I did not find an email address for you. You may want to double check that your preferences have your email address saved. You can email me here: Special:Emailuser/TeaDrinker, or just leave a message on my talk page,User_talk:TeaDrinker.

File:Female hands.jpg

What am I looking at? Natural nails or acrylic overlays? I need to get a caption straight. Macdonald-ross (talk) 09:51, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of File:Female hand.jpg

The file File:Female hand.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unused, low-res, no obvious use

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:00, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
