I think the convention of indenting answers on talk pages is very confusing if any comment is longer than a single paragraph, especially if there are more than two people involved. Don't be afraid to restart at zero-indentation level with ---- as a separator.

[edit] Almond

Hi Hankwang - yes, I know them; I was correcting a couple of errors, as the page (being a European species, not an American species) is in British English, as per the area relevance guidelines of the MoS. It was the previous editor who had incorrectly made some changes to American spelling - MPF 10:54, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

OK, my apologies. Han-Kwang 11:47, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CPA

Hi! thanks so much for your edits to the chirped pulse amplification article! I wanted to add more and make it more accurate but didn't have the knowledge. the diagrams are nice too!--Deglr6328 00:34, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. :-) I was a looking back to how it was on Wikipedia two years ago, when I could create a meaningful article on almost any subject in physics and mathematics. Now most subjects are already taken, which leaves me the small corrections. But this one was on a subject that I deal with on a daily basis. Han-Kwang 08:08, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

I just noticed something about the diagram that I uploaded which I got from an LLNL publication [on the right]. It looks like the chirp is reversed by the pulse's passage through the amplifier! Surely this would not happen in the actual case would it? Also which chirp direction is correct for the grating configuration shown? --Deglr6328 19:09, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Nutritionalvalue

Could an English (as opposed to American) version be made, with fibre in place of fiber? The current American version looks very incongruous on pages that are otherwise in British English (e.g. Common Hazel) or Commonwealth English (e.g. Banana), etc - Thanks, MPF 16:25, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Badwords

The common badwords file is located at User:Lupin/badwords. Some weeks (or months) ago I forked from this list so that I could maintain my own optimized list without worrying about it being compromised. This list is monitored by Lupin's javascript-based anti-vandal tool, see User:Lupin/Anti-vandal tool for details if you'd like to add this to your monobook setup.

[edit] LabVIEW

It's a bit after the fact, but I responded to some over your LabVIEW criticisms. eaolson 01:03, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Compact Disc

I've undone your revert of Compact Disc to a version circa 8th July as I assume that this was done in error. Apologies if this was not the case, but the reason shown in the summary didn't appear to match the change.

-- Chris (blather • contribs) 19:28, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Oops, my mistake. Thanks for noticing. Han-Kwang 19:31, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CAPTCHA

Undone your revert of Captcha there was interesting info on combining current captcha with JS. though there was a link, site seems not to be commercial.

-- Oleg24 (Oleg24

The reason for removing it is that Wikipedia is not a web directory. See WP:EL. Also it is discussed on Talk:CAPTCHA why external links to implementations are not on the page. I removed the link again. I noticed that you are a new user, so you might not be aware of how Wikipedia works, so please don't take offence. Han-Kwang 12:15, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Why do you smear my name without any shred of proof

You have marked several users as my sock puppets after they exposed you and your grosely incorrect edits on a cd page in respect to this discussion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Art_Mastering .

I have no association with any of those users and stop smear my name and names of other people.

You also tried to smear name of journalist G-man by taking sentences out of context.

I will immediately post a request for sockpuppet checks.

"I checked Hankwang edit history and it looks like he removed some critical information from compact disk CD article. He removed ABBA, Claudio Arrau, and Chopin and other info! His edit was fortunately reverted but I'm wondering why is he so vigorously atacking articles that seem legit and particularily those related to CD and CD mastering ? :—The preceding unsigned comment was added by MagnusSound (talk • contribs)."

Even if this comment came through proxy it is still factually correct !

Thank you for your insightful comments. I really enjoyed reading them. Han-Kwang 17:44, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Organic light-emitting diode spam

Passing thought - is it worth warning the reg user who has been placing these links - looks like it has been done (& undone!) quite a few times (& reg users posting spam irritates me!). Cheers --Nigel (Talk) 09:34, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

I must say that direct confrontations with spammers (i.e. getting involved in a discussion) take too much of my energy that I have better purposes for. Han-Kwang 16:43, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please remove immediately the sockpuppet remarks from my page

Just because I have a different point of view than you, it doesn't give you right to put the sock puppet code on my page. --Biggy P 15:30, 28 August 2006 (UTC)formerly: biggyP

Being friendly will take you much farther in this world and on Wikipedia. Han-Kwang 20:49, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Art Mastering

I've just closed this as delete, and in cleaning up the redlinks, I removed the 'new trends' paragraph in Audio mastering entirely, rather than merely dewikilinking it. As it's not my subject area, however, I don't feel inclined to get into an edit war if I'm reverted. As you seem to regularly edit the article I would appreciate it if you looked at the paragraph and decided whether it had any merit or whether, as I suspect, it existed purely to link to the article which linked to the company. --Sam Blanning(talk) 13:18, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for dealing with the AfD. I hope you won't get rants on your talk page for that. Han-Kwang 19:27, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] LED arguments

FWIW you have my support - all I can see is restraint and pleas for understanding in the face of difficult attacks. May not help you but .... --Nigel (Talk) 18:49, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] About your note concerning nonlinear detector response

...in the fluorescent light bulb spectrum I took..... I've tried setting the "detector linearization" feature in the software from Ocean Optics to "on", and really, I saw what must be less than a few percent difference between when it was on and when it was off. The diffrence is certainly less than what is needed to truly linearize the detector response; the spectrum of a lightbulb still peaks in essentially the same place for instance, at ~ 650-700 nm. So there's not much left that I know of that I could do to correct it.--Deglr6328 07:53, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

I replied on Image talk:Spectrum of halophosphate type fluorescent bulb (f30t12 ww rs).png. I haven't been paying attention to my watchlist for a while, but this is a good reason to start doing that again. Until the next time I realize that Wikipedia editing is taking me 3 hours per day of course. Han-Kwang 12:16, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
I've left a few more notes on my latest attempts at intensity calibration there. wanna take a look? --Deglr6328 13:47, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Salsa (dance)

Thanks alot for clearing out those external links. I'll try to stay on top of them to keep the list from growing again. --Spangineeres (háblame) 00:14, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Basshunter edits

Personally, I'd have posted a 'Blatant Vandal' warning, myself (once or twice is just experimenting; three times or more is just playing silly buggers), but that's your prerogitive. HalfShadow 00:24, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Well, often I don't even bother putting warnings on user pages, but tonight I'm a bit bored. :-) I'll have a better look at the available warning templates, but I think the blatant vandal is more appropriate if the same vandal starts revert warring or vandalizes multiple pages.

[edit] Thank you for your welcoming...

I must say I'm sorry, I'm thinking about leaving this place. I've noticed some animosity in this place. It's like you can feel the negative vibe. It must be hard to have 1000 people administering this place (+ a great deal more with some authority credentials).

Probably I'm just going to be an observer of how this project grows. I just want to show you, before I leave, a phrase that caught my attention.

  • "Wikipedia wants to be "the sum of human knowledge". They want us to throw out all of our books, stop using search engines, and blindly follow their version of the truth. Someone needs to keep watch."

It just made me think about totalitarism (smile). OK, farewell brave knight.

[edit] negative dispersion

Hi! I found the definition of "negative dispersion" in the part of "Stretcher and compressor design" is inconsistent with that in the "With gratings". After checking other articles I made a little modification. Please double check it, make sure what I have done is correct. Thank you! Timender 13:32, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

I think you are right, thanks for noticing that in the Chirped pulse amplification article. Han-Kwang 13:52, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] TFD

My point is that while we shouldn't necessarily retain this information, the reason given for deleting this template appears to be ungrounded. (Radiant) 14:16, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Yoghurt

I'm sorry if my edit was confusing. This diff is my original post. You'll see I included the two quotes from earlier in the dicussion -- those were not direct replies to my post. Reflecting on it, I decided it was not a good idea to single out those two users as I'm not particularly familar with their positions and I can't say that the quotes I chose accurately represented their views. Since the quotes didn't really have anything to do with the point I was trying to make, I removed them. I figured editing my own post was fair game as no one had posted anything in the meantime.

In retrospect, the quotes were a bad idea all around, considering that it also gave the appearance that those people were replying to me when they weren't. -Anþony 23:08, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

OK, indeed I thought you deleted part of a discussion, but this clarifies a lot. :) Han-Kwang 09:08, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Conducting-68time.svg

Thanks for uploading Image:Conducting-68time.svg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 13:06, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Finding Kefir Grains

G'day Han-Kwang. Thanks for removing that SPAM notice from my talk page. I hope that the comment I added to the Kefir talk page meets with your requirements. Webaware 22:46, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thank you Han-Kwang for finding the Wikipedia village pump and wiki-tech mailing list. This whole episode, in conjunction with filling out the RFM form, was rather intimidating. Its difficult to learn a new system. Its even more difficult to know you only added a command string to the top of the page and then be accused of vandalism. I was completely confused as to how I could have blanked a page and wasn't sure I should try to submit any more forms. Frankly, the whole experience left me hesitant to contribute at all anymore as I wasn't sure I could complete the simplest of tasks without attracting the speedy accusations from a moderator. I would just like to thank you.Wood345 00:39, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User Talk:Wood345

Thanks for your message. I confirmed what I said before I posted what I posted. But I am happy to believe that it was some kind of glitch; I noticed a few odd-looking edits around that same time. --Guinnog 06:52, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gamma in spectrum pictures

I have added the following comment to your image Image:Spectrum441pxWithnm.png:

In its current form, the file does not contain gamma information (PNG gAMA chunk). I’d fix it, but I’m not entirely comfortable with the image upload process – I keep thinking I’ll break something. It can be fixed with pngcrush, using the option -g 66666 (where 1/1.5 = 0.66666…). This has the fringe benefit of making the file smaller. -Ahruman 16:10, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
