Hi,

Can you please suggest why we are getting our reference deleted for www.plastopedia.com . Just to mention that IDES.com has a link in the reference list. IDES provide a directory of resins and their manufacturers. We are just trying to provide link to Plastic Material News section and traders of Plastics raw materials.

Please suggest, this is not meant for spam or advertisement.  <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Apalgoel|Apalgoel]] ([[User talk:Apalgoel|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Apalgoel|contribs]]) 18:01, 2 July 2009 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:Your link links to a webpage that is meant to advertise for companies, which is against our rules (see [[WP:ELNO]]). Moreover, external links are meant to compliment the information and knowledge of the article. A list of manufacturers doesn't not qualify for that.

Wizard191, I saw you helped clean up an article I wrote on Direct Metal Laser Sintering, thanks!  I am new to Wikipedia, so can you help me with the rules for links?  I realize the entire contents needs to be neutral...can I put the links back if I add some others as well, from different countries?  Perhaps they should be classified as "external links" versus "references"?

:No problem...the guidelines for external links are listed at [[WP:EL]]. The problem is not where the websites are from (or who they cater to), but in that they are promoting a company. Wikipedia is not here to promote other companies. A good rule of thumb for external links is if they link ''directly'' to useful information that is ''directly'' pertinent to the article, it's probably a good link.

Hello Dustin,
Thank you for the welcome. I'm new to Wikipedia and not yet familiar with all the protocols, but I am learning. Did you create the Mushet Steel page? I'm not an engineer, but Robert Mushet is a hero of mine; I live just a few miles from where he lived and worked. 

I had already visited the Mushet Steel page, and adding some history to it is on my list of things to do.

Regards,
Alan.  <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Obscurasky|Obscurasky]] ([[User talk:Obscurasky|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Obscurasky|contribs]]) 10:06, 15 July 2009 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

This is an automated message from [[User:CorenSearchBot|CorenSearchBot]].  I have performed a web search with the contents of [[:Recrystallization (chemistry)]], and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: [[:Recrystallization]].  It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally moving or duplicating content, please be sure you have followed the procedure at [[Wikipedia:Splitting]] by acknowledging the duplication of material in [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] to preserve attribution history.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists.

==Iron==
Just a note to avoid misunderstanding on iron: That I couldn't see the lead link was my mistake (wrong PC settings, mishandling web doc files). That I didn't know iron was started in British English was my mistake. That those "web-refs in the lead" must be gone is inevitable because (i) there are hundreds of books on hardness of steel freely available on Google books (ii) lead should rarely contain (such) references. (iii) those values were simply not representative (incorrect) - hardness of irons varies 1000 times depending on composition and structure. Regards.

I was probably being overpedantic on the term "profession".  It is a trade and an occupation, but in UK profession was traditionally associated with occupations such as lawyer, clergyman, doctor and military officer, where an oath was formerly required.

== [[Prony brake]] ==

The contributor who suggested that the articles "Prony Brake" and "Brake Band" be merged does not appear to be:
1) Very familiar with the English language, and 
2) Familiar with the function of either a band brake or a brake dynamometer.
It makes no more sense to merge the two than to merge "disc brake" with "[[canebrake]]," just because the two are descriptive nouns that include the word "brake."

It might be reasonable to ask that the title for the article "Prony Brake" might be expanded to, say, "Prony Brake Dynamometer," so that the unwary aren't misled.
It is true that some Prony brakes use band brakes to apply resistance to rotation. They can also use a drum brake, a disc brake, or three turns of cord around a rotating shaft. These are all "brakes," because they create a braking effect on a rotating shaft. A Prony Brake Dynamometer is different from other brakes because it measures the resistant force in a way that allows the field engineer to measure power output at various shaft speeds and power settings. 

To prohibit or deter the use of the term "Prony Brake" goes against traditional practice for no good reason. I think that anyone who understands what a Prony Brake is knows that it's not a brake in the common use of the word, anymore than a canebrake is.

== ASTM  ==

Hi thanks for your concern about my edits regarding the various ASTM standards listed on wikipedia. I respectfully and very strongly disagree with your characterization of that as any sort of "spam". I stumbled upon " ASTM A354", ASTM  A53" and similar such articles and had no idea who set the standards or why these standards might be important.  I spent a fair amont of time looking it up to understand. Without the context explaining (a mere handful of sentences) these articles are far less understandable, and frankly less encyclopedic.

We've spoken before, and you seem quite a productive guy. I've just created this page ; [[David Mushet]], which is my first major contribution to Wikipedia. I'm pretty pleased with it, and confident in its factual content, but I'd like you to take a look at it for me, if you have time, and make any changes you feel necessary. I know you share an interest in this subject.

The lack of a photo is not good. Photos of him exist on the net, but how do I tell if it's ok to use them?

Also, I can't understand why the 'm' in Mushet is in lower case, in the title. Could you tell me how to change this please?

Also, Also, links to him (like the one above) don't work. I can find my page using 'David Mushet' in the search box fine; do the links take a while to activate?

:::I noticed that while you were commenting out the not so common 'Cera perduta' you also got the fairly common 'cire perdue', often used in art books, and which is used about 7 times in the body of the article and 4 times in the references section (also [[Cire perdue]] redirects to [[Lost-wax casting]]). Of course since it is used elswhere in the article, the usage you comented out might be considered redundant, but on the other hand, if someone who didn't know what lost-wax casting is had looked up Cire perdue, having it in the first paragraph would let them know why they were redirected there. (though if they had started at http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cire_perdue it would not be a mystery) BTW, while you have probably not seen it, I think this http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cera_perduta (note the 'en' prefix) probably falls into the etc. catagory.

== Transmission site reference ==

Wizard191:

I don't understand how you could remove a perfectly legitimate citation to a site that deals with the generalities and common troubleshootings of transmissions on the Wikipedia page that discusses transmissions.  

In addition to including a link to the U.S. Dept. of Energy: Model Year 2008 Fuel Economy Guide, I also included, as an external site link, a link to an informative handy site, similar to wikihow, on such fitting generalities and common problems of the transmission system: 
http://yourhandymanzone.com/Your_Handyman_Zone_How_To_Pages_Vehicle_Car_Zone_Cars_Trucks_Vans_Transmission_System.htm

With some generic, automated reasoning, you whimsically removed it, which is wrong, with all due respect.  It has its place there.  I did not include it as part of the reference section, but as part of the external site section, where I believe it belongs.  I will again put it there, and let someone else come to determine if it shouldn't be there; I do not know of what prejudices you have with that handy site, but I have found it to be useful, and I think, as an external-link source, others may find it to be informative as well.  <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Autoproonline|Autoproonline]] ([[User talk:Autoproonline|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Autoproonline|contribs]]) 06:41, 6 September 2009 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== flash back arrester ==

I am new to the format here so please bare with me. I was attempting to work with current text and find references to it.  I see that you did not approve of the changes. The patent references were accurate for the devices the article mentioned. It is difficult to find exact text reference. I am an engineer with 20 years in R&D with Flame arresters and related devices, that being said I think it would be easier to revise the entire "flash back arrester" topic. It is only directed at Oxy/acetylene applications which is not totally accurate. The term flash back arrester can also be used to refer to a device that is mounted on the intake of a marine engine and is also referred to as a "Spark Arrester". It can also be a device used to prevent flame propagation in some applications where a "Flame Arrester" is used. 
So I would like to revise the entire article and also add reference to "Marine Spark Arrester" and "Spark Arresters"

== Heli-Coil Marks ==

Can you please explain why you reverted my edits?

You state that the previous statement ("helical inserts, more commonly known by the tradename Heli-coil...") is correct. 

It is not.  HELI-COIL is a trademark, not a tradename.  And it is owned by Emhart Teknologies: See U.S. Trademark Registration Nos. 2987760, 0514560, 0759898, 0707397, 0419109, 0419476, and 0399390.  

Also, there is no citation for the proposition that all helical inserts are "commonly known" as HELI-COIL inserts.  It is not that the inserts are commonly known as HELI-COIL inserts, it is that a well-known brand of helical inserts is the HELI-COIL brand.

Please explain.

Thank you,

== Articles regarding Sescoi, Workplan and WorkNC ==

Hi wizard191.  My name is Jordi Ferrer, and I am a mechanical engineer based in Barcelona. I have been working and using Sescoi software products for more than 7 years, and my current goal is to create wikipedia pages for the company Sescoi, and for the main 2 software products developed by Sescoi, which are WorkNC, a CAD CAM software , and WorkPLAN, an ERP.

My aim is to provide useful information to the big community of worknc and workplan users worldwide, with more than 4000 users, and not to promote these 2 products because that is already done at the official product websites. 

I am new to Wikipedia so I would appreciate to get help from you

The following are pieces of info that have not been posted at the official website and that can be interesting for the wikipedia articles. Let me know which ones are interesting, and what else could be interesting:

# History of the company and history of the product versions
# Older product names not in use today
# Number of users
# Type of programming language that was used in development

Can you suggest any Wikipedia articles that I can use as a model?  

I found one article of a company which also works in cad cam: [[Delcam]]. And I also found an article of a product: [[Navision]].

Thanks in advance.  <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Jordiferrer|Jordiferrer]] ([[User talk:Jordiferrer|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Jordiferrer|contribs]]) 11:45, 19 October 2009 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:Hi, my first recommendation is that you review [[WP:COI]], which is our conflict of interest policy. If you work for Sescoi then the community highly recommends you don't write an article about the company. Second, [[Navision]] is a decent article to model after. Most of the other CAD/CAM software article are pretty advertisey, so I wouldn't look at them for advice. All of the points you listed above would work fine in an article about the topic, as long as you can find [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] for them. [[User:Wizard191|Wizard191]] ([[User talk:Wizard191#top|talk]]) 13:38, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi, many thanks for the recommendations. I will use the navision article as a model, and I will ask several persons, that have no conflict of interest, to help us write a neutral and not advertisey article, including the points mentioned above. Lets keep in touch.  <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Jordiferrer|Jordiferrer]] ([[User talk:Jordiferrer|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Jordiferrer|contribs]]) 16:16, 19 October 2009 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Mutiaxis machining ==

At the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiaxis_machining 
you have removed a link to worknc auto5 , the first software that was able to convert a 3 axis toolpath into a 5 axis one.

But, you keep the link to powermill, which is another product?

What would you think about using the following article, instead of the one I posted, that explains a practical case of 5 axis machining?

== CAM software providers today ==

Hi Wizard191
at the article [[Computer-aided_manufacturing]] we have today a section named "software providers today" that clearly needs to be updated and improved.  The companies are listed according to 2005 data,  but today we can already use 2008 data that you can see for example here:
http://www.deskeng.com/articles/aaarmw.htm

There are several methods that can be used to rank companies. In my opinion the best one is "total end-user payments". This way we take into account all payments made by customers, be it to the local reseller or to the software developer. This way we avoid penalizing developers who have more resellers and less direct sales offices.

There are other small improvements that can be done, such as removing advertising sentences such as " the first CAM package with Automatic Feature Recognition " which is clearly an ad.  All developers have features which are unique, and this is not the place to post that.

Do you want me to update the page, and you revise it?    

Or you prefer I send you my proposed text, and you edit and publish it?

--[[User:Jordiferrer|Jordiferrer]] ([[User talk:Jordiferrer|talk]]) 11:21, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

:You can do any modifications you see fit. My only recommendation is that you list the software and not the companies, because we care about the software used in CAM, not who makes it. Also, to be least controversial I would put the list in alphabetical order so that it doesn't seem arbitrary what is listed where, even though you and I know you did it based on end user payments. [[User:Wizard191|Wizard191]] ([[User talk:Wizard191#top|talk]]) 17:20, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

== Rename Comparison_of_CAD_editors_for_CAM ==

Hi again wizard191.  We have an important problem with the page [[Comparison_of_CAD_editors_for_CAM]]
On that page, none of the products is a CAM software. All of them are ECAD (electronic computer-aided design) softwares, specialized in [[Electronic design automation]] 

I suggest we rename the page to either to [[Comparison_of_CAD_editors_for_EDA]]
or to [[Comparison_of_CAD_editors_for_ECAD]]
or to [[Comparison_of_CAD_editors_for_Electronic design]]
or we merge it with [[Comparison_of_Free_EDA_software]] and [[Comparison of EDA Software]]    --[[User:Jordiferrer|Jordiferrer]] ([[User talk:Jordiferrer|talk]]) 15:57, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Can you do all this? --[[User:Jordiferrer|Jordiferrer]] ([[User talk:Jordiferrer|talk]]) 11:49, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi.
I have spoken to both the library at Karlstad University and Diva.org.
The message was clear, I have full owner ship over my work and the published pictures according to the contract between myself and the two publishers(see § 5 bellow). 
Even if I give the pictures away to some one and let them use them I still have the the main copyright, den ideala upphovsrätten(Swedish), which never can be lost. 
In other words, I can give them away to an infinite amount of people. I can also make new pictures on the steel plates because I have the original material.

§ 5 Transfer of the Author?s Rights
Any transfer by the Author of the copyright to the Work shall not affect 
the rights of the University under the Agreement. This agreement 
regarding electronic publishing shall not impose any limitations of the 
Author?s right to make use of the Work.

I can give you the whole contract if you want or the diva.org contact but I hope it´s not necessary,  

I would be very happy if my pictures are reinstate in the article and also are made accessible on the wikipedia commons as they where before this problem appeared, thank you in advance. 

Diva.org and my self would also like to know who claims owner ship over my work in their (Diva.org) name.
They said it´s very unfortunate if somebody act on their behalf without authority and the representative for Diva.org would like to know, who is this person (or organisation)?, and if Diva.org needs to take actions to prevent unsuitable behaviour. --[[User:Haraldwallin|Haraldwallin]] ([[User talk:Haraldwallin|talk]]) 12:25, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

== Added a link on integrated simulation of composite materials ==

Dear Wizard 191:

In my opinion the future of composite materials, especially the nano reinforced composite materials will have to rely on more advanced simulation & analysis. The behaviour of interfaces of different materials, related to mechanical stress, corrosion mechanisms and diffusion phenomena is currently still not fully understood - and therefore limits the application of composite materials. By placing a link to to the free forum, I wanted to contribute to better understading. Hope you respect the previous. Wishing you a good day,

Kind Regards,

== gleason corp, spiral bevels and hypoids ==

Wizard, I hope you don't take this poorly but this kind of thing is exactly why people despise Wikipedia.Let's examine the chain of events here :

I was looking for a current phone number for Gleason, thought wikipedia might have something useful for a change. Alas, no. The history of Gleason is long, involved, and interesting. All Wikipedia had was a bit of fluff. Worse, several sentences in the entry were total crap. So I removed them. Yes, that is not as constructive as writing an entirely new entry but I happen to work. I don't have hours to spend on this at the moment but I *can* remove untruths.

What happened next ? Did you examine the sentences for relevance or just assume that anything already in Wikipoopdia must be wonderful and correct ?

"Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Gleason Corporation, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted"

You come in on your high horse, mark the removal as "vandalism" and smugly trot off to your less-than-accurate cave. If you were European I might understand the jingoism inherent in the sentences I removed, but as a product of Milwaukee you should be more intelligent.

Observe what I removed :

"However, more productive and less expensive manufacturing process for manufacturing of spiral bevel gears has been used in Germany. In the result of the World War II, Gleason received an advantage versus German competitor and established its gear influence in Europe. While Gleason spiral bevel gears are offered in Europe, the native for European market Klingelnberg and Oerlikon gears are more popular and offer better benefits in mass production for European automotive industry."

This is total crap.

First, Gleason has been involved in bevel gears for over a century. Spiral bevel manufacturing is only a part of their business. To reduce their entire range of expertise to one product line is ridiculous.

Second, the statement is totally untrue. The two most common methods of producing spiral bevels are the Oerlikon method and the Gleason method. They each have strengths and weaknesses. Gleason method is more economical for large quantities and more suitable for tooth modification.Oerlikon method is more suitable for small batches and is probably more convenient. Describing the pluses and minuses of each method would take many paragraphs *from someone who knows what they are talking about*, not some dimwitted jingoist.

Besides that, Gleason also made machines which utilize the "Oerlikon method," such as some models in the G-plete range. Intelligent people don't choose which system to use based on ignorant bias such as this article contained.They choose which method to use based on requirements and circumstances.

"It is not a secret that fuel economy of European cars is better compare the cars produced in the US, partially thanks to use of spiral bevel gears on drive axles as an alternative to lower efficiency hypoid gears that are commonly used on US cars and trucks"

Uhh, yeah. Now go out and find me a car with a hypoid or spiral bevel rear end. I believe there may be one or two low-volume rear-drive models produced in the US.What are the figures for market sector for rear-wheel drive cars ? 5% maybe ? Front wheel drive cars *have neither spiral bevel nor hypoid gearsets in their drive train*.

The change from rear-wheel drive to front wheel drive, what, thirty years ago ? was what motivated gleason to get into the parallel axis gear business.That could have been a reasonable addition to this article, rather than the nonsense crap you are standing up for. 

So wtf does fuel economy have to do with anything ? (Where are the *facts* showing that "european cars get better fuel economy, btw ?) Compare european cars to american cars by displacement and what are the figures ? My red wagon gets better fuel economy than any european car, wtf difference does that make ? Europe is not the US, transportation patterns are totally different and fuel efficiency has absolutely nothing to do with the efficiencies of gearsets *that aren't even used in 95% of modern automobiles*.  

More than that, the last sentence which I removed (and which removal you marked as "vandalism") is just a bunch more kaka. *Like all things in gearing*, spiral bevel gear sets have some advantages and some disadvantages over hypoids. Spiral bevels generally do have lower rolling friction.And they are easier to manufacture. But they have crossed axes, which means you can't have shafts that extend much beyond the gears themselves. Before electronic sewing machines this was very important. Mechanical sewing machines were a snakebed of hypoid gearsets. Another advantage to hypoids is that the drive line is offset from the center of the ring gear. In an automobile this drops the floor pan and improves the aerodynamics of the car. So what one might lose to friction in the gear train, one would get back ten times over in aerodynamic efficiency. In the case of trucks, buses and motorhomes hypoids can increase cargo space,improve packaging constraints, give designers more options in the overall mechanical layout of the vehicle. Claiming that hypoids and Gleason are inferior to the godlike German technology and only achieved success because of World War II is symptomatic of someone with Down's Syndrome. Besides, the US won World War II using Gleason-built spiral bevels and hypoids, so perhaps the Gleason technology was demonstrably superior :) 

Oh yeah, one more interesting fact - several european trucks (and cars in the past, don't know about now) actually use *wormgears* in their rear ends. Would we like to discuss frictional losses, Mr Idiot Jingoist European Wikipedia writer ?     

Yes, I do dispute your removal of the lies and distortions present in that article as "vandalism." The sentences I removed are crap. Untrue, unfactual, jingoist political garbage.It would be nice if someone familiar with the true history of Gleason with even a third-grade understanding of engineering would expand that article. But for now, you should go back and remove the garbage that I already removed once. It's an insult to any intelligent person, much less any engineer who might wander through there.

== Reversion of [[O-ring]] article ==

You reverted an edit I made to the O-Ring article citing "Vandalism". However, the edit I made was to correct a mistake in the article - Megapascals are millions of Pascals, not thousands as the article claimed. That would be Kilopascals. This mistake would be obvious to anyone with a basic secondary level scientific education.

Please get your facts right before accusing people of vandalism. If you are going to spend your days watching every single edit to spot mistakes, you might as well check out their validity before making such outlandish claims.

== Wizard Continues to be a Stocker ==

I see of all the editors in Wiki, it is only you that continues to stock me.  You are on my heels editing my work and you don't even use the discussion first. There is pleany of editing you can do with out targeting me repeately.  You need to stop.  Also, after reading your talk page, I see that you are ticking off some other editors by making mistakes. [[User:Advocate4you|Advocate4you]] ([[User talk:Advocate4you|talk]]) 16:44, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
:Wizard,  I think it would be helpful if you changed your style of editing. I felt the same tone as the editor above when he wrote this: "You come in on your high horse, mark the removal as "vandalism" and smugly trot off to your less-than-accurate cave." (Reference -“gleason corp, spiral bevels and hypoids - above”) In this case as in others, you were wrong. You never apologized to that editor even though what you were defending was "crap" as put by the above editor. And you’ve done this in the past in my case. You’ve stated that editors should start discussion first before making changes, but you yourself seem to be above this standard you set for others. And as that editor stated to you, based on your style of editing, “this kind of thing is exactly why people despise Wikipedia.” And that’s about how I’m feeling too. [[User:Advocate4you|Advocate4you]] ([[User talk:Advocate4you|talk]]) 06:53, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

::First, I've never stated that a discussion should be started before an edit, that's just not how Wikipedia is run; see [[WP:BOLD]]. Second, I make mistakes because I am human, as does everyone else, including yourself, therefore do not come around here bashing me or other for such things as we all do it. Third, I have worked with hundreds of other editors in a peaceful and synergistic manner while only having a problem with a handful, including yourself. Your uncompromising and attacking attitude is quite uncivil, therefore if you [[Wikipedia:Harassment|harass]] me one more time I will report you.

::: Please report because it would save me the trouble, and please note that it is you that always engages with me and not the other way around. I wish someone would tell you to back off from me. As for being human, it is your tone can be viewed as nasty as noted by other editors and it does not encourage workability. I think the advice you would get is to stay away from me. As for a discussion before reverting an edit (which you continue to do to me), you stated this on YOUR talk page: “As a side note, I would recommend in the future that you don't just revert someones edit before discussing it with them.”  So when I make a change, and you revert it without discussion, this is your double standard.  <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Advocate4you|Advocate4you]] ([[User talk:Advocate4you|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Advocate4you|contribs]]) 17:56, 22 November 2009 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:Thanks for fixing the dunnage bag section, it's much better. I've removed the external links (ELs) because none of them are ''directly'' applicable to the topic; please see [[WP:EL]] for our guidelines on ELs. While you've attempted to fix the lashing section, I've done a bit of research on lashing and found that your description is not the same as published descriptions, which leads me to my next point. I feel that your employment with cordstrap has bias your views badly. You only refer to polyester strap, because that's what you work on but you've completely ignored polypropylene, nylon, and steel. You also linked your companies website, which is a big no-no. As such, I recommend that you read [[WP:COI]], and especially note "COI editing is strongly discouraged."

Dear Wizard191,
I would like to add to my previous message that I have updated the Loctite page with an Infobox and the material that is now included does give a very good picture of the brand, its history and products, all with references. Therefore, its quality standards should be changed. It should not be stub-class any more and there has been given attention to the text before editing.
Please let me know what you think about the quality of the text. Thank you, Elizabeth[[User:Elizabeth44|Elizabeth44]] ([[User talk:Elizabeth44|talk]]) 13:42, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

:Fair enough, but Loctite is well known for threadlocking fluid in the US so it shouldn't be eliminated. [[User:Wizard191|Wizard191]] ([[User talk:Wizard191#top|talk]]) 21:51, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

== Knut ==

Knut is a sometimes used spelling of nut, not just in K-Nut (which i didn't know about). I did not know that it was dubious. It is common in the UK. Whilst not really counting as reliable, here are some sites that do use it 

*http://www.buywyze.com/shop/shop.php?c=85
*http://oxford.gumtree.com/oxford/42/49319942.html
*http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Caster-Racing-ZX1.5R-Nitro-Buggy-&-HPI-Pull-Bag_W0QQitemZ200416279477QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxq20091210?IMSfp=TL091210195001r28789

After finding out it is actually an incorrect spelling of it (not diff between Brit Eng and US Eng).

:Yeah, it's definitely a mis-spelling and not noteworthy. [[User:Wizard191|Wizard191]] ([[User talk:Wizard191#top|talk]]) 19:49, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
