[edit] My robot
I understand what you mean, I saw those problems, too. What I did was make the find-and-replace case-sensitive so that words in the middle of the sentence were treated like words in the middle of the sentence, and words at the beginning of the sentence would be treated like words at the beginning of a sentence. Before, it wasn't case-sensitive, so any form of, say, although or Although or AlThOugH would be replaced with simple "although". To answer your question, I've looked into the problem. —MESSEDROCKER (talk) 11:02, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Punctuation response from Kathar
I noticed your message on my talk page, and thank you for making me aware of this. I did not know this before you brought my attention to the problem, and intend to fix that which I screwed up. Tyro the Kinky Kitty 20:03, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you, I've corrected this note, but left the page protected until the DRV decides what to do. Thank you! — xaosflux Talk 02:40, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Response from Sator
Thank you for pointing out the details about the wearing of bow ties with daytime formalwear in the 19th C. After consulting several books it became apparent that even up till around 1900 this was still considered correct. Only after the Edwardian era do we reach the modern dress code of only wearing cravats or long ties. Would love to find time to update links on button boots, origin of Oxford boots/shoes as you suggest. Don't ask why Oxford boots take a punched capped toe but Oxford shoes when worn on a formal occasion have to have an unadorned cap toe. I only know that every period picture shows this and Edward Green (who have been making shoes since 1890 say that this is the case) say so as well and in discussions with knowledgable people we have been unable to determine the origins of this custom. I will hunt down a copyright free period print of earlier forms of the frock coat - I had been tempted to do this in any case. However, I have other 19th C publications in the public domain with patterns for cutting a frock coat that I may upload first.
Thank you also for the reference - Cunnington, Handbook of English Costume in the 19th C. I have put it on order 2nd hand via Amazon. Looks like a very authorative reference.
[edit] Total re-write of the main Physics page is in progess
You might like to join us at Physics/wip where a total re-write of the main Physics page is in progess. At present we're discussing the lead paragraphs for the new version, and how Physics should be defined. I've posted here because you are on the Physics Project participant list. --MichaelMaggs 08:04, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
