[edit] Tesseract

I like your tesseract unfolding image. :) Leon math 23:44, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I've been considering making a better one, but so far I've been lazy. Glad you found it useful. --Christopher Thomas 04:20, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Join us in the "Terminator" Article discussion page...please...

If you are still a member of Wikipedia, please join user:TomTheHand and myself in a discussion of which terms should apply to the Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 Infiltration Unit in its various forms.

To be as neutral as possible, I will relate the views of TomTheHand as well as my own, as accurately as posible:

Tom believes that the term "Android" should apply to all of the incarnations of the Model 101, from Endoskeleton all the way up to the gestalts of flesh-and-blood and the combat chassis played by Arnold in the movies. He furthermore believes that the term "cyborg" does not apply to any of the Terminator's forms.

Thanos777 -myself -thinks that the Terminator is worthy of multiple appelations depending on which configuration (read: Type/Series) the Model 101 is configured as.

That is to say, I believe that the "Base" Model 101, just the endoskeleton with no cosmetic enhancements, is best defined as either a Humanoid Robot, Anthropomorphic Robot, or simply a Robot.

When the Model 101 is outfitted as a Type/Series 600, the endoskeleton covered by rubber skin, I believe that the Terminator is then most correctly classified as an "android."

And finally, when the Model 101 is equipped as a Type/Series 800/850, the endoskeleton with the living flesh-and-blood covering, I believe that the most correct term for the creatre is "cyborg."

Again, I respectfully ask you to come back to the "Terminator" Article and lend your input; those of us who are there in the Article's discussion page are engaging in a lot of back-and-forth regarding the different terms and the disagreements as to when they should be used.

Hope to "see" you there soon!!! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Thanos777 (talk • contribs).

Ok, but my views are in no way authoritative. --Christopher Thomas 05:51, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Have you considered contributing to the Heat Death article?

That article needs the attention of an expert. A big issue is that the article does not reference dark matter or dark energy, which would influence heat death. Something about how the open vs. closed universe theories impacts heat death would be a valuable contribution. Would you consider helping w/ this? Thanks. Comosabi 22:17, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

I'll take a look at it, but the best place to ask is probably at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics. Cosmology isn't my field of expertise.--Christopher Thomas 04:03, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Freak show

Looking for the Lorentzian Relativity, I've found that one would be able to assemble an impressing freak show in doing this article seriously. Cahill of process physics fame is involved and Friedwardt Winterberg. I've managed not to know that one so far, but he's a real show: besides some fringe theories also a connection to the LaRouche and to Nazi war criminal are on record -- or at least in his Wikipedia article. --Pjacobi 21:59, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Add William Lane Craig to this list. --Pjacobi 22:08, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

I have the good fortune not to be familiar with most of these topics/people. I'm going to keep it that way, to avoid being forced to take another Wikibreak. Thank you again for your diligent work patrolling this sort of thing. --Christopher Thomas 22:36, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

It was a welcome diversion from dealing with Velikovsky-cruft on German Wikipedia ;-) --Pjacobi 23:24, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Are you in love with me?

You keep following me around like a girl that's in love with me. You're kinda creepy dude. Don't you have a life outside of the internet? It's my talk, leave it alone. Malamockq 01:38, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Your page is one of several hundred on my watchlist. Vandalism on any of these pages gets reverted. The use of watchlists is described at Help:Watching pages. --Christopher Thomas 01:42, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

And you comb through each and every hundred of those just to bother me and waste my time? Revert vandalism on article pages, and contribute to wikipedia. I think that's more productive than reverting my talk page. Malamockq 01:46, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Rest assured, the vast majority of my time is spent dealing with articles and people other than you. --Christopher Thomas 01:48, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] BFC Page

Chris, I've contacted the archivist... we have plenty of references on the way... Try to save the page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tux256ac (talk • contribs) on 04:48, 5 April 2007.

References added, more on the way... Could you remove the crazy big warning?! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tux256ac (talk • contribs) on 05:52, 5 April 2007.

Aaah! Chris! Someone didn't bother to read that the AfD was contested and went ahead deleting the page!! How can we restore it?! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.233.33.142 (talk • contribs) on 07:05, 6 April 2007.

I told you, go through the process described at WP:DRV. Also, please sign and datestamp your posts, by putting ~~~~ at the end of your statements (this is automatically turned into a signature). --Christopher Thomas 15:29, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
