[edit] Help?

First off: sorry if someone finds this to be abusive use of the helpme template, I promise not to do so again. And I have looked for answers by myself unsuccessfully before doing so.

I have two questions:

  1. I've seen some interesting signatures on the talk pages, real colorful, with different links and even small images. How can I get one of those? I can't seem to find anything related to sigs on my preferences page.
  2. I've been working on a translation of a page from pt:wikipedia to en:wikipedia, but when putting the images they seem to be allocated at a different place. What is the better way of using images from different language wikis?

Thanks in advance, Gaspa

  2. The image may be saved to pt Wikipedia, which is unaccessible from en Wikipedia. If the image has a free licence then is may be uploaded to the Wikipedia:Commons so any Wikipedia project (inlcuding pt and en) may use the image.--Commander Keane 20:28, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User talk:Pain/Userboxes ?

Hi, your Userboxes page has a cute little box saying that if you make any mistakes we should warn you. Well, that very box is linked to User talk:Pain/Userboxes - IMO that's wrong. Not your mistake, but still maybe it should be fixed. VdSV9 21:06, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, indeed you are right. That page worked until the userboxes were in the same page of my main interests. I forgot to modify it as I recently concentrated my attention more on the articles than on my personal space. Thanks for the notice, you interpreted the userbox in its very essence.

[edit] Apology

Uh, I have no idea what the hell my edit was about. I think I must have gotten confused (too much editing in too many tabs). My bad. :) EVula 19:04, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Changes to electrical engineering

Hi,

I am a little puzzled by your changes to electrical engineering. You reverted all my changes without clearly explaining why.

For the three to five year change, in your explaination for the reverts you wrote "And as for the 3-5 or 4-5 years...".

I also was wondering why you moved the old third paragraph of the lead to the history section as this leads to a repetition of information.

I really just want the best for the electrical engineering article and I could really use some help understanding these changes.

Thanks,

[edit] Picture Size

Hi VdSV9,

The picture on my browser is huge - that is it runs into the text of the history section. If you'd like me to e-mail you a picture of it I can do that. But if you'd like to switch to the voltmeter image or stick with the reduced image size I'm happy to do that too. I've never liked an article having two lead images - it's non-standard and clutters the lead - but if it keeps things peaceful I'm happy to stay with it. I'm using a Mac so this could be the reason for the different look but I think you'll find that even on your computer, when viewed at reduced resolutions, the image would run in to the history section's text.

Hope this helps,

[edit] Marijuana Wiki

Hi there,

I see that you are a pro-Cannabis Wikipedian so I hope this will be of some interest to you.

I've started a Marijuana wiki (aka The Sticky Wiki) which I think you might be interested in. I'm hoping you can help me get started with this project. Whereas lots of articles about weed get speedy-deleted on Wikipedia, they would be totally cool over at MarijuanaWiki. But really I want the site to be more of a marijuana community than merely an encyclopedia.

To give you an example, I want to have city guides about where to score, find pot-friendly cafes, marijuana events, and what represents a good price in that city. Etc. (You can check out the featured article: "Toronto" to see what I mean). Of course, I want to see articles about the negative health effects and the drug laws in each of the countries. I also want to have grow diaries and marijuana blogs. All in all, basically more communal than encyclopedic.

I am in need of admins/moderators, and people experienced with MediaWiki to help build policy, categories, and templates, etc. If you'd be interested in helping me with this project, the URL is MarijuanaWiki

Thanks for your time and consideration. Hope to see you there!

[edit] Hello

Greetings to all of you: Tiago, Thiago, Gasparino, Gaspa, James, Jimmy and VdSV9. Doesn't it ever get a bit claustrophobic with all those identities fighting their way around inside? Or maybe you like group sessions ... he he.

Yes, what category will I fit into when I shuffle off this mortal coil? Good question. Only time will tell, I guess.

Please give Mildred a big kiss from me next time you see her.

[edit] Active power factor correction

Hi,

I noticed that you revert some of the lastest modifications of Active power factor correction. Could you explain why? CyrilB 07:48, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Copied from my talk page:
sorry for my crudeness in doing that change, I didn't really have much time left and maybe I should have explained better my position.
the fact is that yes you can remove harmonic distortion with passive filters, you just have to design pass-band filters that will direct these harmonics to the ground. I have myself taken a course on harmonic correction last year, and if you're interested I can give you more info (and, naturally, give wikipedia more info) on this when I move back to my home city, where I have the book used for these classes. and that will be next week.
later, -- VdSV9•♫ 10:34, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
OK, this is clearer. So the paragraph you removed should be rephrased to be more definitive in its statements. Passive filters can only be easily designed with a slow cut-off slope, making the suppression of the first harmonics (e.g third and fifth) almost impossible. - CyrilB 11:50, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
