Atmospheric generator article

Hi Thewinchester,

This is Ashvidia the initiator of the article Atmospheric water generator. Read ur comment on the discussion page and was happy to see some one is taking some action to stop vandalism of the article. But read the history page and wanted to inquire wat u meant by rv changes by Ashvidia, inappropriate changes and deviates from accepted positions Wats the accepted position.

As far as the manufacturers goes I had a clear approval from GraemeL provided I write a footnote explaining the reason for displaying the manufacturers names and expressly stating this is not spam. My disclosure was as follows:

Note: Even though manufacturers are listed, the above write up is not spam nor an advertisement. The above technology of AWG being at its concept stage it was felt that interested readers can have a look at the real machines of different manufacturers by having ready access to their sites. THE ABOVE LISTING IS NOT INTENDED TOWARDS ANY SALES PROMOTION.

So wats the prob...pl elaborate the same. I have taken painstaking effort to make this article a good one because I hd done a project on the same technology in my college fair...so I have a bit of knowledge regarding the same.

Trust u agree on the disclosure aspect.

Regards, Ashvidia

I am somewhat confused about the current status of this article. The article's authors have in the past tried to bump up the rating of the article and they have also jumped the queue on the schools collaboration of the week. Their past actions have therefore raised my suspicions about their motives. However, it would appear that one reviewer has given the article Good Article status. Is this review legitimate? It's very difficult trying to make sense of the talk page history. I note that you reverted the article back to a B class. The article is part of two different projects. Does it have to be rated as a good article independently for both different projects? Dahliarose 12:16, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

From what I've been told it does now appear that the good article rating was legitimate. I had in fact previously highlighted the issue on the Wiki Project Schools page so if anyone disagrees with the assessment then they can easily check the history and re-assess the article if need be. I shall leave Wiki Project Perth to their own devices. As these editors seem to have such a troublesome history no doubt they will already be keeping a close watch over the article. I hadn't realised they'd caused quite so many problems. Many thanks for your help. Dahliarose 23:23, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Never

Nah - I have a long rave - if we ever meetup - ask me for the one about form blindness - dont ask me now I am flooding enough talk pages as it is.

ACP Template

Hey, yea i know the template was poorly placed by me, (i tried it in the area its in currently). I think it crumples up the other templates, but its better than before. You wouldnt happen to know a way to make it so that it stays in the centre, and wont crumple up the others? SM BarnZy 11:01, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
