[edit] Beagle 2 pic

OK. I'll email NASA. Hope we don't cause an international incident here! Guinnog 13:14, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Done. This will be interesting. Guinnog 14:25, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gold Foil/Geiger-Marsden experiment

Hi. I always think of it as the Geiger-Marsden experiment too. The Geiger-Marsden experiment article was a redirect to Rutherford scattering, and I changed it to point to the pre-existing Gold foil experiment article. If I had started the Gold foil experiment article I would have called it Geiger-Marsden experiment since I had never heard of the other name before I read the article, and if I had been aware of it then Gold foil experiment seems a bit imprecise. However, the article already existed under that name and there are vast numbers of Google hits for Gold Foil experiment, as well as for Geiger-Mardsen experiment, and so it seemed a bit of a moot point about which was the best known. One of the changes I made to Gold foil experiment in my very first edit was to add the Geiger-Marsden name as a synonym[1], so editors before me presumably only knew it as the Gold Foil experiment. I have speculated that perhaps this name has come into use because it is more straightforward for school kids to remember. I don't currently have an opinion about which name is best because I don't know which is more widely recognised. By redirecting Geiger-Marsden experiment to the existing article I was sitting on the fence rather than expressing a view. Jll 00:31, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Alright, thanks for the input. Awolf002 00:55, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New look for box headers

There's a discussion on the WikiProject Astronomical objects page regarding a new look for box headers. I was hoping you could drop by and comment. Thank you. — RJH 14:42, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Current events box

Check my reply to your comment at Template talk:Current events box#Other current events redundant for Portal...I wanted to see if you thought an alternative was acceptable. Thanks—Kayaker 06:08, 1 July 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Thanks for keeping Current science and technology events current

I was wondering if the shuttle launch had happened and was about to head to http://nasa.gov/ when I decided to check out Current science and technology events first and saw confirmation of its delay. Thanks for keeping it current.

BTW, I was going to post this on Talk:Current science and technology events but that talk page is currently redirected to Talk:June 2006 in science. I didn't know whether to create Talk:July 2006 in science and post it there or overwrite the redirect and post it that way. Kayaker 18:53, 2 July 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Template:H5N1 cases

Augh! I have yet to get an edit to that template completely right! Thanks for catching the mistakes. Trying hard to make sure there aren't any, in spite of obvious proof to the contrary. :-( Waitak 15:14, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

That's a gracious reply, thanks. Especially appreciated from another person who had to wear one of those funny hats two or three times. Waitak 15:23, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Hope I got it right this time. Want to take a look, please? Waitak 13:48, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request your attention to the GoldToeMarionette case

GoldToeMarionette (talk • contribs) had a WP:RFCU inappropriately completed on their account by Jayjg (talk • contribs) and Hall Monitor (talk • contribs) blocked the account after it was identified as a multiple account despite their being no violation of Wikipedia policy by GoldToeMarionette. These users did not respond to requests to undo the action.

Other steps in dispute resolution have been tried

Comments on RFCU itself [2]
Other Admins contacted [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
Hall Monitor was emailed with no reply
GoldToeMarionette posted on the account's User and Talk Pages seeking assistance when the talk page was protected without the issue being discussed. User:GoldToeMarionette User_talk:GoldToeMarionette

GoldToeMarionette notified article contributors that illustrative examples were subject to an AfD. The account strictly followed the WP:SPAM#Internal_spamming guideline. The AfD was without controversy. GoldToeMarionette did not participate in the vote. HereToCleanup removed the posts following the AfD in accord with the widely accepted Wikipedia Guideline Wikipedia:Spam#Internal_spamming that states "Clean up your mess. For example, after engaging in cross-posting to promote some election, be sure to remove those cross-posts after the election is complete." [8]

Since GoldToeMarionette was strictly following Wikipedia Policy, there should not have been a Check User completed by Jayjg. Hall Monitor only blocked the account because it was labeled as a sockpuppet by Jayjg's completed Check User. Absent policy violation it should not have been processed in RFCU or been blocked. I am asking for your help to confirm that policy was not violated, administrative action should not have been taken, and request that the administrative action be reversed by unblocking GoldToeMarionette and unprotecting the talk page. Thank you for your time with this request. RealTime 02:08, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

This user went around spamming all the admins beginning with A, see my talk page Ashibaka tock 18:55, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 3 Juno

Re your movie of 3 Juno, could you make it somewhat larger (match the template's width)? Also, there are resolved images from Mt. Wilson AO, reported in a Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics press release. The image should be licensed for public distribution. Michaelbusch 16:20, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Portal Space exploration

I hope you don't mind - I changed the name on the Portal page for naming conventions. I had to adjust the links to go to the individual templates - and changed the formatting to black/white as is already set up in wikiproject space. Let me know if you like/dislike the changes and we can correct it as needed. Cheers --Exodio 03:01, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

I like the look of the Portal - you are probably right about having different color schemes for the Portals - i know Mars is a pink color, etc. The only thing is you might want to not say it is based on NASA colours or you will have the Russian lovers all over your case :D --Exodio 14:28, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Portal peer review

Hello, Awolf002! Since it has been a month since you nominated the Space exploration portal for peer review, I hope you received good feedback on how the portal could be improved. If you would like, you could keep the portal listed at the portal peer review for more suggestions for improvement and ask the Wikipedians here for feedback. Also, if you think the portal is ready, you could nominate the portal for featured status. Either way, I hope you've received helpful reviews! Cheers, S.D. ¿п? § 02:03, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reply to years in science

I changed these as they were all coming up as red links therefor I changed to the year xxxx. If there were not a red link I would have left them alone. I am trying to add years of death births, plus cleaning valelism, and Wikifying red links. Dfoley51 01:46, 13 October 2006 (UTC)


As this the only year in whatever page that has these links, rather than year links, I am only trying to make this clear. Transparency is a nice thing. This is why I accidently whiped out the older links, if they had showed up as red "xxxx in science " I would have left them alone as would have meant that page has yet to be to be put up, but red year number indicate something was "busted". I hope this explains my rational. Dfoley51 01:46, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

I knew to what you were refering to, as I said tranparency is a woderful thing. A user that clicks on a year link would expect to go to the year vs. XXXX in science. My action eliminates any confusion. Dfoley51 02:02, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Messier 67 and Blue stragglers

Thanks for editing the German Messier 67 page. In looking at it, I went to the German Blue straggler page and discovered a gross error:

sind extrem heiße Sterne mit mehr als 50 Sonnenmassen

From Zhang etal: " ... the mass of S1280 is calculated to be 1.63±0.10 M , that for S1284 is computed to be 2.15±0.15 M ."

When I tried to login on the German side, I discovered my account does not work. Vegasprof 11:14, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Awolf, I have created an article Mass segregation. There is no corresponding article on the German side. Vegasprof 20:42, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Embedded Java Applets at Wikiversity

Are you heading this work up or is there another person doing so? I lost the test location and have some information that may be of some use in building robust code. If you could tell me who you think is in charge it would be very helpful to me. Wikiversity user:mirwin

P.S. I go now to look at your photos to see if they are big enough with detail sufficient as textures in animation of planets. I can get these from NASA but more fun to have our own GPL'ed! 8)
Thanks for the feedback on my talk page. I found this while looking for a Java based mud server and client. http://developer.berlios.de/projects/quizmaster/ It is in beta but it seems like it might be good to use to prototype the applet@wikiverisity code. Might get some more interest from some of the educators clamouring from quizzes in actually helping implement it. mirwin@wikiversity
Airwolf, you could really help me out by going here

[9] and adding yourself in the role of systems analyst, java integrater, whatever. You are fulfilling this function for us by working on the embedded applets thing as it will be critical to our mud server for our class project (a project provided for when no one has other ideas they wish to work on while studying at our learning trail). It would boost my morale plus seeing there are multiple people working on different aspect of the common project will, I think, encourage further participation. If you would rather not I understand but I sure would appreciate it the assistance! Lazyquasar 01:22, 7 November 2006 (UTC) aka mirwin@wikiversity

[edit] Retrocausality

As per JzG's recommendation, I've totally reworked the above article as a revamped stub. Please take another look if you like. Thanks Bwithh 20:38, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
