[edit] P.F. Sloan

Hey Bob...this page needs your help! Very little content on pre-70s recordings/productions...I'm going to try to beef-up the Fantastic Baggies/Jan & Dean surf-era Sloan/Barri stuff, but any input you had would be appreciated (Grass Roots, etc.) Peace-Stationwagontodd 03:49, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Why so few Wikipedians are engineers?

I am trying to understand why there are so few Wikipedians who are graduate engineers. Once I get a grasp on that, perhaps I may be able to formulate some ideas on how to attract more experienced engineers to become Wikipedians. It would be very helpful if you would respond to these a few questions:

  • Are you a university graduate engineer?
  • Please indicate in which of these engineering disciplines you obtained your degree:
    1. Aeronautical or aerospace engineering
    2. Bioengineer or biological engineering
    3. Chemical engineering
    4. Civil engineering
    5. Electrical engineering
    6. Environmental engineering
    7. Mechanical engineering
    8. Petroleum engineering
    9. Other
  • In what year did you obtain your degree?
  • What attracted you to participate in Wikipedia?

If you would rather not answer these questions on your Talk page, then you may respond on my User talk:mbeychok page. Or you may respond to me via Wikipedia's email which I have enabled on my User:mbeychok page.

If you would rather not respond at all, that's fine also. Regards, - mbeychok 04:28, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Hail Purdue!

I don't think there's a copyright violation wrt the lyrics. Many universities' fight songs are actually available on Wikipedia. Also, the lyrics were published in 1913 and even assuming the song was copyrighted then, it has most certainly since expired and is therefore public domain. Thanks AreJay 14:57, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] lower-case initials

Hullo. Is the category you added to the CIVIL warS a joke, or is there a movement afoot to allow lower-case initials? That would be nice, since in this case the typography was a conscious choice on the part of the creator. Dybryd 05:02, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

  • That category has existed for quite some time; Wikipedia recognizes that some articles should begin with a lower-case letter, but for technical reasons all must start with a capital letter. When I stumbled across this article today I added the appropriate note and category for you. Engineer Bob 05:08, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Grass Roots

Hi Bob, An article on Joel Larson is in the submission cue. Could you view it? #99 on the 8-1-06 archives. Thank you —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.47.151.252 (talkcontribs) 11 August 2006.

Hi Bob, I submitted another new entry for Joel Larson that I wrote from scratch with assistance from Joel Larson himself and it was declined once again. I don't understand why his article continues to be declined when he was a major contributor to The Grass Roots and other Los Angeles rock groups. #44 on 11-03 archive. Please respond if you can. Thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.85.75.71 (talkcontribs) 18 November 2006.

[edit] Invitation

Hey there, I have noticed your edits to some different music-related articles, and some guitarists in particular. We have a WikiProject going that focuses on writing an improving guitarist articles, at WikiProject Guitarists. I invite you to come take a look and join if it interests you! --Aguerriero (talk) 21:04, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] raytheon you were too quick.

HI, I was working on adding the reference when you added the fact tag, but that also messed up my grammar edits, so perhaps you can copy edit..

Book is the "oficial history issed on companies 50th anaverery, so It is slow going to find details. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cmacd123 (talkcontribs) 00:48, 11 December 2006 (UTC).
