** Aug 12, 2004. User: Ghitis. About Brownian Effect. |
|||
That was fast! I understand, and I'm sorry. Just: I published that article, still inchoate, and several others, in J.Theoretics. I'm a friend of the editor, and we published together an editorial. The Journal is closing down, and there should be no reason for claiming infringement. The article posits well-based additions to the subject, which can be tested experimentally. My intention is educational, and even though you are right, the rejection could be reconsidered. Wikipedia is one of the outstanding projects of the Century. |

== [[Uranium]] == |
|||
I got the image [[:Image:UraniumUSGOV.jpg]] from [http://resourcescommittee.house.gov/subcommittees/emr/usgsweb/photogallery/], which just said ''Uranium''. I uploaded most images in the list. Tomorrow I will go through the list and check for some images missing an article. I'll check out the Uranium, too. My guess is that it is a type of ore, since pure Uranium is supposed to be a ''silvery-white metal'', not a yellow rock. Thanks for the comment. -- [[User:Chris 73|Chris 73]] | [[User talk:Chris 73|Talk]] 15:54, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC) |
|||
:Update: I did a bit of snooping around on the web, and the image looks very similiar to uranium ore, but not quite like [[pitchblende]]. So i labeled it as uranium ore. -- [[User:Chris 73|Chris 73]] | [[User talk:Chris 73|Talk]] 14:23, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC) |

Meelar, I'm abit perplexed, "user talk" doesn't seem to function as I expected, nor does "discussion". What is the proper forum for give and take incidental to a subject? thanks for leading the way in this wonderful project. Wblakesx (qv) |

Hmm. Thanks for the welcome message you just left on my [[User talk:Nadavspi|talk page]], but I've been registered and made my first contribution on April :-) |

==[[Homeschooling]] and NPOV== |
|||
Meelar, you left a note on this article's talk page in June saying it was not NPOV but you weren't knowledgable to fix it. I hadn't noticed it until now. As someone who was homeschooled from cradle to college, and as a former volunteer and employee of a statewide homeschool support group (my mother is the former chair of that statewide group, and one of her best friends spearheaded the fight to legalize homeschooling in our state 20 years ago), I'll volunteer as someone who may be knowledgable to fix it, though obviously I arrive at the table with some biases I'll have to work very hard to limit. Can you help me understand what violations you see? I see a general slant in favor of the practice, largely in tone. Are there specific sections you can point out? I'd be happy to toss around some paragraphs with you to collaborate our way to something nice and NPOV. Let me know what you think. If you think I'm likely to be too biased to edit profitably, please let me know -- I promise not to be offended. If it helps, I and my family come from a background that doesn't advocate any of the "methods" of homeschooling, but rather simply supports it as a legal educational option that can be beneficial for many families (and was for mine), but which is not inherently superior to others. Perhaps that will allay a few fears, at least. :-) [[User:Jwrosenzweig|Jwrosenzweig]] 21:30, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC) |
|||
:Thanks for the quick reply! I think getting an outline from you at the talk page would be excellent, and would help me very much. I don't mind taking on a large amount -- after reading your note, I looked the article over again (a little more carefully) and noticed the issues you point out. It may take a little time, but I think it's very worthwhile. :-) Thanks for being willing to do work on a project that isn't in your usual interest area.

Thanks much Meelar, looks like the edit button represents a broader concept/tool than simply editing. I was abit nervous about using it too freely. I'll get the hang. I supose it's often good to sign posts too. Wblakesx |

Thanks for the welcome and the hints (re: signing off messages), I hope I'll learn more about the editing process as I go a long. [[User:Mumble|Mumble]] 14:11, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC) (And I should probably edit my user page, too...) |

== Re: Barack Obama marriage date == |
|||
Well, you could probably mention that they married in 1992 somewhere in the relevant paragraph, i.e. "Obama met his future wife Michelle Robinson whom he married in 1992 (they have two daughters, Malia Ann and Natasha, ages 5 and 3 respectively)". I don't know if you should cite the source, but it seems reliable enough to me, and if it's wrong somebody's bound to correct it, so we probably shouldn't need to mention it.

([[User:William M. Connolley|William M. Connolley]] 20:00, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)) Thanks for the protection, I was beginning to wonder what was going to happen. I have added some stuff to the [[Talk:Global warming|talk page]] to try to... talk it out. |

== Felix Faure == |

([[User:Mapple|Mapple]]) |
|||
Thank you for your kind welcome! I've just tried to make an article on M. Faure (using the good old 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica, of course :-)). Please take one look at it. |
|||
== Washington, DC == |
|||
Your statement that all Federal agencies are HQ'ed in DC, except CDC and CIA, is inaccurate and an oversimplification. For one thing, CDC is not an independent agency, but part of the Dept. of Health and Human Services, which is HQ'ed in DC. Many other agencies that really are independent, like the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, are HQ'ed outside of DC (NRC for example is HQ'ed in Rockville, MD). It is more accurate to say that most federal agencies have their headquarters in DC, without enumerating the ones that don't. |
|||
I also thought to reorganize the section on the statehood movement a little. |
|||
I was born and raised in DC, so I feel qualified to throw in a thing or two about the place on free Wikipedia. No disrespect to your own efforts. |

I gave permission to my friend in battle creek to upload a picture of me. It caused some confusion. Thanks for watching out for me and for your concern. I have also apologized to my friend. |

He first uploaded the wrong picture and then the correct one. I have the correct one now uploaded on my User page. If you will can you delete totally page [[:Image:Wheeler1.jpg]] to save hardware space. Thanks and sorry for troubling you and others.[[User:WHEELER|WHEELER]] 18:22, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC) |

== Bullets or no bullets? == |
|||
Thank you for the greeting me to Wikipedia. This place is a very nice community. |
|||
I am trying to edit an entry which I feel is outdated and could include more information, but I have a question. |
|||
I am listing the 38 staff members of the company the entry is for. Bullets take up quite a bit of space, but should I use them? A regular list seperated by commas would be smaller but harder to read. |
|||
Thanks for any help. I realize this could be a matter of opinion, but your opinion on a topic like this would probably be better than mine, due to experience. |

== More thanks == |

I appreciate your feedback on the Mercedes-Benz 6.9 article up for scrutiny on the peer review page, and I've acted on it. I've removed the journalistic overtones, gave it a mild POV-ectomy, reformatted it slightly and even added another fact or two. Could I impose on you to take another look and get back to me with any further suggestions? Again, thanks. - [[User:Lucky 6.9|Lucky 6.9]] 22:00, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC) |

== My Name == |

It means, as far as my Latin dictionary tells me, "of every form," which makes sense, as modus is form, and modi its genitive. I've yet to know the nomative of "every," mostly because I've not the need to look it up. [[User:cuiusquemodi|cuiusquemodi]] 02:06, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC) |
