[edit] Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 00:12, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Signpost

[edit] Images
Sorry to bother you again, but one more thing -- for public domain or copyleft files, it's generally preferred that those be uploaded the Wikimedia Commons. Files on commons are shared among all Wikimedia projects (so that, for example, we don't thes ame image 17 times on 17 different languages/projects). Raul654 07:55, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Accidental reversion
Hi, the article you are editing was being edited so quickly that I accidentally reverted you along with someone else. I was trying to revert a non-UK spelling. Cheers.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 16:55, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for tagging the above as a copyvio. It had been reverted to an earlier, non-copyvio version. In future, could you pl. check the history of the article to see if it could be reverted to a non-copyvio version and revert it yourself? TIA, --Gurubrahma 05:48, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Earthrise
The Earthrise thing you mentioned is interesting. The phenomenon is of the Earth seen rising from below the horizon of another astronomical body. This can be achieved in various ways, all of which require the correct movement relative to the Earth. You can be standing on a body rotating relative to the Earth (the Moon doesn't do this, as various people have tried to explain in a few sentences - it generally takes more words than that to explain it). You can be in a spacecraft orbiting the body (in this case the Moon). You could also be moving on the surface of the Moon, walking, running, or in a vehicle like a moon rover, and in the correct location, you will see the Earth rising over the horizon as you travel towards it. A less spectacular sort of Earthrise would also be possible in rotating space stations in high Earth orbit. Once every rotation, the Earth would pass across the field of vision. The same thing is seen with sunrises seen from Earth orbit. I think saying the Sun is rising above the limb (see the 'other meanings section') of the Earth is more correct than calling it a sunrise. Ditto for the Earthrise. The Earth is rising above the limb of the Moon, though at what point the limb becomes a horizon is debatable. Thanks for bring this interesting issue up.

[edit] re: Hoaxers
If this really is a hoax, I would guess that those are socks created for the purpose of perpetuating the hoax. I think the afd should play out before anyone gets a warning. If the article is real, these people have some remarkably specialized knowledge (given the complete absence in anything I've searched) and we've already bitten them a little.
