[edit] Saab images

Hi,

I like the images of Saab's you're uploading. I've a picture of the first Saab on the german wikipedia at http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:DCP_1391.JPG , perhaps you can use it.

Yes, that is a great picture of the Ursaab! But the name of the file 'DCP 1391.JPG' is not very clear.... I will use it in the Ursaab article (still to be written).

The drawings you upload, what is the source of those, did you draw them yourself? -- JeLuF 19:38, Jun 16, 2004 (UTC)

click on a picture and read the info - they are line drawings by Gunnar A. Sjögren from his book The SAAB Way. This book is entirely on line, follow the external link on the 'GAS' article. MH 19:50, 2004 Jun 16 (UTC)
I've looked at Image:Saabasj97.jpg, where this message was missing, and I didn't look closely enough to the others. Thank's for adding it. -- JeLuF 19:56, Jun 16, 2004 (UTC)
I was working on it, the message is there now. MH 20:03, 2004 Jun 16 (UTC)

It looks like the image Image:C900conv.jpg you uploaded risks being deleted. Could you perhaps add the necessary information. // Liftarn

[edit] Ford Essex picture

You should probably put down the exact source of this image. —Morven 04:14, Aug 26, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia

I guess the formal welcome hasn't occurred yet, but let me say "welcome." And sorry my first encounter with you was in the context of an edit reversion in Lux. Glad you didn't take it amiss. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 21:54, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your help with the South Park Republican page. As you can see my speling suks :-)

But whats with all the question marks instead of apostrophies?!

Nice point on the fear of strangers thing.

[edit] Siphon diagram

Great diagram of a siphon, thanks. Would you be able to add labels for the points and heights described in the Bernoulli's equation section? Thanks. Samw 04:30, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Many thanks for the diagram! Samw 02:06, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

[edit] untagged images

all of the images on relay were uploaded by you none of them have copyright tags please read and understand Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags and tag your images appropriately

done MH 12:35, 2004 Dec 14 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Parallellines.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, — Edwin Stearns | Talk 21:36, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] period at the end of sentence

Hi and thanks for your changes to rate of fluid flow. I have just one remark. Could you please put a period at the end of a formula, if that formula is at the end of sentence? This is the standard math usage, and it looks better in general. Thank you. Oleg Alexandrov 16:45, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Miraflores disambiguation

Hi, I notice you've created a disambiguation page for the word Miraflores. Disambiguation pages should include links to each place's article page. Please add these links. Even if the place has no article yet, you should add a red link, and someone will eventually create the article. Greetings, --Tuomas hello 22:13, Feb 25, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] British spelling

Sonett, it is in poor taste to convert American spelling to British spelling without reason, such as changing from "neighbors" to "neighbours" in Parallel parking. I refer you to Wikipedia:Manual of style:

If an article is predominantly written in one type of English, aim to conform to that type rather than provoking conflict by changing to another. (Sometimes, this can happen quite innocently, so please don't be too quick to make accusations!)

The article in question is written predominantly for those who drive on the right side of the road, which is explicitly not Britain. As the primary author of that article, I am not bothered by this, but someone else may find a problem with this behavior. --Cluster 23:22, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of second moments of area

I think the 'List of second moments of area' should be a separate article. I think it was a mistake to combine the two quantities (moment of inertia and second moment of inertia), as it confuses two very different physical quantities. The fact that their derivation is similar shouldn't distract us from that and combining them, in my opinion, is like combining articles on mass transfer and fluid mechanics because you can derive both sets of governing equations from Reynolds transport theorem.

Also, 'moment of inertia' and 'second moment of inertia' are two separate articles-- I created the second one--(I'm the person behind the IP address) and I edited the 'moment of inertia' article to tease the two issues apart (which I think makes sense). If 'moment of inertia' and 'second moment of inertia' are separate articles-- why combine the lists? -- I don't think it makes sense to combine the lists and this is why I made a separate article.

I think it is very awkward to have two different tables in the same article. Merging the two tables would be better-- but that cannot really be done for practical reasons.

If different things are combined-- I think 'area moments of inertia' should be combined with the centroid ---- and 'mass moments of inertia' with 'mass center' (this is how my statics textbook (Meriam JL, Kraige LG, Engineering mechanics, 3rd Ed., John wiley & Sons, Inc., 1993.) presents the quantities.

Also, if they are to remain merged the article should be renamed. "List of moments of inertia" suggests the quality associated with angular acceleration only-- and that is in fact how the article was created --OR-- the title is less clear than it could be. A more appropriate name would be 'List of moments of inertia and second moments of inertia.'

I think things should be kept as simple as possible. If the connection between moment of inertia and second moment of inertia is so important -- perhaps a separate article should be written (like one could be written about Reynolds transport theorem).

Just notifying you that I've added this image to WP:IFD. I'll list all my concerns on the image's page in a moment, but the short of it is that I've created what I think is a better version and added it to Commons. --MannyMax 04:40, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Arquitectos

Hola Sonett

Estas elaborando una lista de arquitectos cuando ya se categorizó la anterior lista y se eliminó la misma hace poco. He puesto el cartel "destruir" porque en wikipedia español hemos dedicido suprimir en la medida de lo posible las listas, de forma que te lo aviso por si te estás tomando mucho trabajo en ello, que sepas que seguramente te lo borren.

[edit] Image:Stress v strain A36.png

Thanks for pointing out the typo. You are right that the strain scale is wrong, it's more like a high-strength steel then structural steel. It's hard to show both the slope of the elastic portion of the curve and the full width of the plastic portion in a plot that doesn't take up the entire page. I'll play with it a bit, see if I can't make it look better.

What do you mean about "reference numbers" - maybe sigma sub y and sigma sub u? Toiyabe 19:27, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

I've made another go of it -

image:Stress_v_strain_A36_2.png

Reference numbers are:
1 - Ultimate Strength
2 - Yield Strength
3 - Rupture
4 - Strain-hardening region
5 - Necking region
What do you think? Toiyabe 18:59, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
OK, here's another one -

image:Stress_v_strain_A36_3.png

I based this on the one at the Dutch wiki - [1]
I'd like your opinion on the reference numbers -
Is B or C in the yield strength? What is the other one?
Region I should be the elastic range. Is that drawn correctly, or should it end at 'B'?
What's a good term for Region II? 'Yield Region'? Toiyabe 21:18, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] SECAM vs. SÉCAM

I do not think SÉCAM is the proper abbreviation, but rather that SECAM is. I would not normally comment to you, as both forms are used in the article, but I am doing so because you changed the abbreviation SECAM to SÉCAM on multiple instances. Please see the talk page about the issue, as I am considering moving the page to SECAM, which would be highly inconsistent if all instances of the acronym on the page used SÉCAM.—Kbolino 04:22, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Carburetor

I've reverted your deletion of the nomenclature from image:CarbNomenclature.jpg. Moving the nomenclature to the image file page requires multiple clicks to view it, and putting it in the caption makes it difficult to view the image and the nomenclature at the same time. I've also swapped the positions of the two images in Carburetor, since the cross-sectional schematic goes better with the operational-basics section of the article. Scheinwerfermann 14:52, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

That was a silly thing to do. You may have created it, but you don't own it!
I never claimed to own it; let's be grownups and leave the namecalling and putting words in others' mouths out on the playground where they belong. The image with nomenclature is used in the English-language carburetor article right now, and that's appropriate. If you want to use it in other-language articles, that's terrific...use image:CarbNoNomenclature.jpg , which has the lettered arrows without the English nomenclature.

[edit] Erroneous edit to Ignition timing article

I have had to revert a technically incorrect edit that you made to the ignition timing article. The vacuum source used to operate vacuum advance is not always manifold vacuum. Please take the time to read the whole section to understand what ported vacuum is and how it operates before making further edits to this article. If you believe that you can expand the article, that's great but please make sure that your contributions are technically valid. --Athol Mullen 22:23, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
