[edit] Thank you!

Thanks for the minor fix on my Z3 disambiguation! :) and so quickly after I made it too. Like, a minute.

No problem ;) thats what I like about wikipedia, at least one person will be looking at recent changes when you make an edit, that way any little errors get tidied up and any vandalism is removed immedatly. I remember once I saw a bit of vandalsm about a minute after it was made and while i hesitated to edit the page, someone else did it and it was gone. Borb 20:01, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] census

http://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/community/census/parish/

this is only for cambridgeshire of course, other county councils have similar wesites. p.s. i was hoping others would see and use that table, thanks - Bluemoose 13:55, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Thankyou very much, I especially like the map links on the table. I got my OS grid references and lattitude/longitude from a map at home, put them in the table and they work perfectly online! I am going to start expanding pages on my local area using that table a lot now. Borb 14:00, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thats cool, i was also recommeded this site for census data http://neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/Default.asp?nsid=false&CE=True&SE=True but have yet to use it, grid reference and other data can be found at www.multimap.co.uk , also are you aware of this page List of places in England, it is helpful for doing local articles. good luck Bluemoose 14:09, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Kilbrack

No discussion because it fit the criteria for a speedy delete as being patent nonsense. Some sample text:

having a Kilbrack was first started by Dig and Dug and is now beleived to be a world wide hobby and probably the most interesting form of art ever to be created. the only catch is that there is only one Kil and one craft.

If you'd like to create an encyclopedic article on the subject, please do. Jinian 19:58, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] ISIS Draw

Welcome to WikiProject Chemistry! I saw your question to Walkerma about Isis Draw: click on the atom that you wish to label, then scroll down to More.... This will open a dialogue box where you can select C(show) instead of the default C(hide). Good luck with your stub expansion projects—#UnidentifiedDeity knows they need it! Physchim62 07:57, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thankyou. I'm going to concentrate on making loads of diagrams now i've got ISIS draw. Its brilliant.

[edit] Amino acid data

I have now placed the data from the Rubber Bible on Talk:Amino acid, to try to get some ideas about how to deal with the discrepancies between sources. Physchim62 13:10, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Super Sub

Hiya, I ought to write an article on that soon ;) Anyway, the concept is basically identical to a substitute in football, one player goes off and another player takes on his responsibilities. The tactic normally used by the team fielding first is to bowl out their weakest batsman (someone like Glenn McGrath) and then take him off for a substitute player - who can not bowl, as McGrath has already bowled his ten overs, but can bat for him - and can bat anywhere in the order they'd like to have him. Thus, they're effectively playing seven batsmen and five bowlers. The player who has gone off can not return to the game again. Also, if the player who's going off has bowled, say, eight overs, the new player can't bowl more than two overs. The reason why it's called super sub? The ICC like corny names, I suppose. Can't say I like the rule much, but at least Test cricket doesn't have it (yet...*shudders*). Lastly, go England in the Ashes :) Sam Vimes 15:42, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

The NatWest Series didn't use it - that was the tri-series between England, Australia and Bangladesh. However, the NatWest Challenge (the 3-ODI series between England and Australia) did, just to confuse things. Btw, you can still have a normal injury sub in addition to the super sub - something Australia exploited in the first ODI of the series (IIRC), when Shane Watson bowled three overs, went off with an injury, then Matthew Hayden (who wasn't selected) came on as an injury sub, then Australia took off Hayden and put on Brad Hogg, and finally put Hayden back on as a 12th man fielder for Watson! The net effect was that, if required, Hogg could have bowled ten overs, as he wasn't coming in for the man who had bowled three. Sam Vimes 16:11, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
I don't live in England, so I haven't really tried to get information on that, but from what I've heard I think Sky has bought all rights to cricket - domestic and international - starting from the 2006 season Sam Vimes 16:22, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
I'm afraid Sam's right. You'd better get saving for your Sky Sports subscription for next year. By the way, if you're interested in cricket, why not join the Cricket WikiProject and help our coverage of the sport? Kind regards, jguk 17:20, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Full scorecards

Hi. I like keeping things in one place, so could you see the note on User_talk:Sam_Vimes#Full_scorecards. Thanks. Sam Vimes 16:27, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Table namespace

User:Omegatron/Tablenamespacespam — Omegatron 01:09, August 30, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, I have voted for it on Bugzilla. Borb 12:07, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] RfA thanks

Thank-you for expressing your confidence in me at my recent Request for Adminship. The final result was 40/0/0, and my "superpowers" have now been activated. I look forward to helping out with the development of the encyclopedia. Physchim62 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Cleanup tag on Folic acid

Hi Borb,

I notice that someone put a cleanup tag on Folic acid. They suggest that there appear to be two articles crudely combined into one. This compound lies outside my area, it's a bit too biochemical, would you be able to look at it? (I recall your nice improvements to the amino acids). We have folic acid listed as A-Class, but it looks like it is flawed after all. BTW, please take a look at our new proposed goals and worklist and make comments. Thanks, Walkerma 07:35, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Amino acid configuration

Hi Borb,

Can you take a look at this discussion. It looks like we have a serious problem with the Fischer projections of the amino acids. Thanks, Walkerma 05:08, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi Borb. Thank you for commenting on my user-talk page about the images I have recently uploaded. As I stated over on WikiProject Chemicals, I'm not a chemist, just a guy who likes to make 3D-models. Apart from uploading the stuff to Commons, which is really a no-brainer (sometimes I'm just weird :-), are the images I created for all the amino-acids the correct forms? Unfortunately, I wasn't aware of abovementioned discussion, before I created them, so I just went ahead. Any comments are greatly appreciated. Mstroeck 00:46, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Peel Sessions (Thin Lizzy) Reply

You asked about "The Peel Sessions". There is just a hoard of Thin Lizzy's compilation albums, and for most of them you could just find the list of songs, and nobody really cares. The MOST important compilations are included, and nothing else is necessary. Just wanted to inform you if you're interested. Death2 00:07, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Scalable Vector Graphics

Could you save the picture commons:Image:FusionintheSun.png into Scalable Vector Graphics? I like it very much, and I want to use at Hungarian Wikipedia, and at SVG format it is more convenient to change the text, and Wikipedia Commons SVG. -- Harp 11:14, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CoorHeader

I see you added a "CoorHeader" to Clifton Reynes. I havent come across one of these before, I can't see what effect it has, and I can't find it by searching templates. Do tell? --Concrete Cowboy 20:13, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

I just happened to see it on the page for London so I thought i'd try it out on that page too. I'm not sure if it's standard yet but it seems pretty good. -- Borb 23:16, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Halogenation in Alkene

Hi! I see your self-drawn halogenation mechanism in the article alkene but I think that it is incorrect. Halonium ion is formed instead of carbocation in observation. Only this can reason the anti addition nature of the reaction. Please help to change that. Thanks!--Dono 10:02, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
