[edit] Warning on article creation
Hi, welcome to Wikipedia. You have created several articles on characters from The Demented Cartoon Movie, however these articles only hold information from the afore mentioned article and do not merit seperate ones, so please don't create any more. Thanks, Hestemand 18:37, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Post-abortion syndrome
You added two templates to this article - one hasn't worked. Could you also explain on the talk page exactlt what your issues are? Gilraen of Dorthonion AKA SophiaTalkTCF 21:08, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] I like food too
Food's good. Funny how those words don't rhyme. Anyway, Potter Puppet Pals is awesome. Just thought I'd pop in and say hello. Oh, and slightly belated Welcome to Wikipedia! --LV (Dark Mark) 13:53, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rajko igic
It's not nonsense! It's just not in English, and could from the look of it be a user page mistakenly created in Article Space... ShakespeareFan00 14:59, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
Don't worry!. I had a time spotting odd languages initally as well! It might be Croation according to someone on IRC.

[edit] Podracing
Maru left Wikipedia, so I went ahead and reverted the vandalism. If the vandal continues, I will block him. Also, if you spot vandalism, go ahead and revert it; see this page for help on how to do that. If someone repeatedly vandalizes a page, let me or any other admin know, and I'll see about blocking him. Nufy8 00:12, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
- He did some rather ill-advised things and got into trouble. He's likely to lose his admin privileges, so he decided to leave. Nufy8 00:25, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry, no admin powers. If serious bring to the admin noticeboard? ShakespeareFan00 17:07, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Battery
You edited the Battery article and added 'In addition, in the two-book series "Sneaky Uses for Everyday Things", there are instructions to make a battery from a nickel, a penny, and a piece of paper towel dipped in salt water.' Do you know if the instructions are in each book, or if not which book they are in? I would like to add this as a reference via a footnote, and put the description toward the beginning of the paragraph. I don't want to reference the first book and have someone disappointed not to find it there. Thanks ! Edison 03:40, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
In doing science projects/demonstration for kids, I like to make sure that they work, having seen teachers attempt to demonstrate some effect and failing miserably, leaving the kids thinking science is a big disappointment. Science boks are full of experiments that generally don't work in the sense of providing an effect that can be seen, felt, heard, etc. It is no problem if it does not at first succeed, since a little effort and experimenting, and trying different approaches, is good preparation fo all lab work, or for science or engineering careers. That said, I once use strips of copper (from roofing material scrap) and zinc (from old ignition cell batteries, the 6" tall ones no longer made), with a pickle as the middle. I had tried all sorts of electrolyte, until I found dill pickles, sliced thinly lengthwise, to be good because they gave the large surface area needed to lower internal resistance and increase output current. Many science projects try to use a potato battery to drive a load which requires more current than it can deliver. A fix is to connect an electrolytic capacitor across the battery. The size must be large enough to drive the load long enough to make an impression: light a light, ring a bell, make a spark via a transformer, or spin a motor briefly. A digital voltmeteer connected across the capacitor provides a buildup to hold the interest of spectators, then a switch closure or pushbutton connects the load to the battery/cap parallel combination. A pile of coins with the saline paper could make any desired voltage and provide even a dangerous amount of current, if they had a cap of proper voltage rating and capacity connected in parallel. Too large a cap would be boring, with slow charging. Edison 18:39, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Warning Users
Hello, When warning users, as you did with User:Llamas fan, User:Kaaa, and User:Futbol2, please post your warning on the users' Talk Pages, not to their User Pages. Thanks --After Midnight 0001 01:29, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
- Don't worry about it. No problem caused. --After Midnight 0001 14:35, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sore loser
I'm sorry. I thought it was some sort of prank and the article also sounds like a neologism which, in most cases, does not have a place in Wikipedia. Can you explain how it is notable in any way? (Who coined the term? Is this term in the dictionary? How many people use it?) If you have problem with my decision you are welcome to place {{hangon}} onto the article and expand further. mirageinred 18:35, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi mate thanks for the thanks! You see I have compiled a List of villages and municipalities in Slovakia and am going thorugh each region bit by bit. I am also starting articles on all olympic medal winners e.g Leon Moreaux which was on the main did you know? yesterday! and going through films and actors e.g William Garwood. I also started Inner Mongolia Museum and did Tashilhunpo Monastery and Shalu Monastery ages ago. Its just people don't seem to notice!! Have a read of them tell me what you think.

[edit] Please use edit summaries
I have noted that you often edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. As you can see from the edit summary tool, you aren't using them very often. Thanks for understanding, and happy editing.

Capacitance VS. Voltage What's better for a capacitor if I want to create a coilgun? High Capacitance or High Voltage? Thanks. Ilikefood 22:00, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
First, CAUTION! Don't work with electricity or stored energy devices, or projectile devices unless you are qualified to do so, and understand and observe all applicable safety rules and precautions and laws. Large amounts of stored energy in any form is inherently dangerous. Electricity from capacitors can cause burns, or even electrocution. Caps can explode if reverse polarized, overcharged subject to excess high voltage, or discharged at too high a rate. High speed projectiles are as dangerous as a bullet. Even the energy in a photoflash can be lethal, since it is at a high voltage (way higher than the battery powering the device) and of sufficinet quantity to stop your heart, just as the "paddles" on ER shows are used to stop or defibrillate hearts.
I would expect a goal would be to achieve the rapid transfer of a large amount of energy from the caps to the coils. Energy of projectile=1/2* m* (v squared) in Joules = integral of current timesvoltage from stored energy, allowing for losses and efficiency. Not all caps are built for high current discharge and they all certainly have voltage limits which must be observed with a large safety factor. From Capacitor Energy stored = 1/2* capacitance*(voltage squared). Twice the capacitance at the same voltage stores twice the energy. It would cost about twice as much, since two caps in parallel doubles the capacitance. Twice the voltage in the same capacitance stores 4 times the energy. But it is more expensive to buy a higher voltage capacitor of the same Farad rating. If a device needs a certain amount of energy delivered in a given (short) time, you can price out the higher cost of better insulation for high voltage and the price of the high voltage capacitors, versus the high cost of more low voltage capacitors. Caps in series to get a higher voltage rating doesn't work well because the voltage divides unevenly according to the internal dc resistance of the caps. It's an engineering exercise. I'm not sure how you would easily measure the internal resistance of a cap to see its max discharge rate, or where the allowable safe discharge rate is specified. I doubt that caps made for general purposes like electronics or motor starting or power factor correction would work well. Again be cautious.Edison 22:24, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi Ilikefood,
I've added an edit which may address the concerns you had with the image. PS, a suggested rewording, "i love wikipedia.com" into "i love wikipedia.org" as this isn't actually wikipedia.com

[edit] Concordia Newsletter
NEWSLETTER
Concordia is currently trying to relaunch. I, and all the members of the ex-council, wish to welcome new members to the group. We are a group who aim to promote remaining civil, in an environment where messages can easily be interpretated wrongly.
[edit] Help out now!
- Try and help people remain civil! Talk to them, and help them in any way possible. Do not be afraid to use the talk page.
- Give people the Civility Barnstar.
- Make and spread some Wikitokens so people know there are people to help if they want assistance.
- Add banners or logos to your userpage to show your support.
- Suggest some ideas! Add 'em to the talk page.
We are a community, so can only work though community contributions and support. It's the helping that counts.
[edit] Decision Making
The council expired one month ago, but due to the current position of the group the current council will remain until the position of the group can be assessed, and whether it would be sensible to keep Concordia going. For most decisions, however, it will be decided by all who choose to partake in discussions. I am trying to relaunch because of the vast amounts of new members we have received, demonstrating that the aims are supported.
If you wish to opt of of further talk-page communications, just let us know here.

[edit] Not a soapbox (reference desk comment)
Thank you for reminding me that the reference desk is not a soapbox when I commented on how using drugs was, at least in my eyes, a "bad idea". Yes, I considered not making that comment, but should wikipedia really be giving out advice that could ruin its reputation, or perhaps even kill the person asking the question? I don't mean to disobey any rules about commenting on questions, but I do recall seeing a rule about wikipedia that said something like 'If a rule prevents an improvement from being made, break it.' or something like that. Similarly, I'm sure that many people who help run the reference desk would not like a question such as this one on their conscience. I didn't mean to be posting my opinion, but answers to questions like "are there any easily made narcotics" could really screw up someone's life and/or Wikipedia's reputation. That is why I said that giving an answer to a question such as this one is generally a bad idea. The issue here really is, "should Wikipedia really be giving out that sort of advice?". Thank you for reminding me, though. Ilikefood 01:06, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- I understand that you have good intentions, but that doesn't change the fact that you're asserting some sort of moral supremecy over anyone else who answers. You can choose not to answer the question because of your beliefs, that's fine, but that's not what happened here. Instead, you tried to stop other people from answering. If something like this happened again, you might instead say "Please be careful, narcotics can be dangerous. Also, you may wish to review this article to see what some of the possible legal consequences of doing this are. - ~~~~". That's a way of sharing your concern and "covering Wikipedia's reputation" without imposing your POV. A reference desk librarian gives answers, not moral counsel. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 01:20, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
