[edit] Hybrid couplers

I noticed that you added the {{stub}} template to the Hybrid coupler article. I view that as an extended redirect to the Power dividers and directional couplers article. A plain redirect wouldn't work, but a definition followed by a link seem sufficient to me.

I would encourage people to expand the Power dividers and directional couplers article rather than the Hybrid coupler article. Would you reconsider the stub template? --Gerry Ashton 14:36, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

You asked for more information about hybrid couplers. One definition I've seen is a coupler that divides an input equally between two outputs, so one can just read the "Power dividers and directional couplers article" with that definition in mind. There may be fields within electronics where hybrid coupler has a more specific meaning, but I don't know for sure. --Gerry Ashton 19:21, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fleurier

Hi. You recently added text to Fleurier that said that it was the place in the world with the most Nobel Prize winners. I have added the names of the two persons, but do you have a reference for the claim that this makes Fleurier the place with the most prize winners? I would have thought a large city or a university town such as Cambridge, Massachusetts might be able to claim more. Regards, --BillC 21:02, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi, and thanks for replying. I don't mean to denigrate Fleurier, but to pick just a single example, Paris was the birthplace of at least three Nobel laureates: Frédéric Joliot-Curie, Henri Moissan and Frédéric Passy, so Fleurier clearly does not hold this record. --BillC 16:04, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
