[edit] WFMH
Hi Crosbiesmith, I like what your doing to the World Federation for Mental Health. Are you aware of any sources we could use for research? Thanks. --AI 06:55, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
- Only the links I posted, I'm afraid. I don't have any special insight on the subject, but I found the details publicly avaliable were of some interest, and I thought I'd post them here. If you, or anyone, can find some details on John Rees, that would be good. Glad you liked the edits. Crosbiesmith 21:22, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Slim Devices
Hello -- I was wondering if you would take a look at the comment I left on the Slim Devices talk page. Since you created the article, perhaps you could provide me with an answer. --mdd4696 16:40, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
- See my comment there - Crosbiesmith
[edit] Geograph template
Thanks for letting me know about this, nice work. I do like it :) - it will make uploading speedier and also give more consistency. I'll work my way through all the old images I've uploaded previously. Cheers. --Cactus.man ✍ 15:40, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks too, had been plannign to do this myself! I've re-tagged most of the images i've uploaded in the past plus also made a mod to the template so it fits in better with the cc template, hope you like it. Thanks/wangi 17:01, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
- Rather a pity that we have managed to land up with different templates here and on the commons. -- RHaworth 20:13, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] clatteringshaws
I have just wasted some time because you changed the description of commons:Image:Clatteringshaws Dam.jpg to "please delete" and did not give any reason. And you should have used {(deletebecause|reason}} anyway. On investiagtion, I feel that Clatteringshaws_Dam is the better name because the other image commons:Image:Dam at Clatteringshaws .jpg has an irritating space just before the dot. I have marked the latter for speedy deletion and changed the English wiki to use the name I prefer. If you are aware of any other wikis that use Dam_at_Clatteringshaws_.jpg can you please fix them? -- RHaworth 19:14, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
I have just noticed there is a bot wot checks - I have run it - the image can be deleted. -- 82.43.48.242 20:05, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
- I've always been a bit confused about the deletion of images process. {{ deletebecause|reason}} seems ideal. Thanks. - Crosbiesmith 09:06, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image:Alhawsawi.jpg
The image comes from here. Sorry for the delay - I'm not editing Wikipedia regularly anymore. – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 19:12, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
- Seemed pretty quick to me - I've linked that from the image. Thanks! - Crosbiesmith 21:31, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks
I noticed that you created a page for the Information Research Department. My thanks for your research, and I hope that you will contribute further. --Daniel 16:53, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikiproject HIstory of Science
Didn't know if you had run across Wikipedia:WikiProject History of Science, but I would like to invite you to join, and especially to help with articles such as the Military funding of science. --Fastfission 23:57, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for the invitation. This seems like a good time to point out, in case there is any confusion, that I am not the Crosbie Smith, historian of science. I am just another Crosbie Smith who happens to share the same name. My interest in science and history is of a strictly inexpert and amateur nature. Thanks for the invite anyway, but I thought I had better ensure there's no confusion - Crosbiesmith 16:13, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] User page
I came across your account while cleaning up after a vandal. I notice that your user page was created by an unregistered user. If you like, I can delete it for you. Just let me know. Thanks! — Knowledge Seeker দ 00:29, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Acquaintances of Lewis Carroll
Obviously, I can't stop you from seeking to delete this. I believe that it is a mistake, though, as it presents an interesting and instructive view of Victorian society.--Holdenhurst 11:49, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Right Honourable
Thanks for your nice words. Yes, these old, ugly and unnecessary honorifics have already disturbed me for a long time. Best wishes Phoe 14:30, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] John Dee
Earlier in the year you inserted this into the John Dee article:
In 1555, Dee became a member of the Worshipful Company of Mercers, as his father had, through the company's system of patrimony.
Do you, by any chance, have a reference I can cite for that - I'm trying to save the article from being demoted from FA, and haven't been able to track down a source for that. Cheers, Yomanganitalk 14:15, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
- With a bit of digging that reference appears to be good - the editor of the series was co-complier of the catalogue of Dee's works, so I'd expect any obvious mistakes to be weeded out. Since the rest of the timeline agrees with other sources I've added it as a ref. Thanks, Yomanganitalk 17:11, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] David Aaron
Hi. I couldn't give specific references for that article. Most of the material would have come from the following resources:
- New York Times
- Washington Post
- Chicago Hearld
- The LA paper, i forget which one
- Who's Who (Marquis)
and I also have my own library, which i probably used to get the organisations he was a member of.
The website is currently pointing to the main site on my server. When I get a chance I will put up some documents that may be of interest to people who are looking at the © articles.
How do you guys always seem to find new articles so quick? Doom-chronicle 23:18, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] cost of transmission
Crosbismith.
If the total number of units delivered by the UK generating system in a year, are divided into the total TUOS or TRIAD receipts, then one gets the surprisinly low figure of around 0.2p/kWh. This is calculated by taking the total annual Triad charges, which are say £15,000/MW/ year x 50,000 MW = £750m/y and divide it by the total number of units sold – say 3.6 ×10exp11 kWh.
For present National Grid charges for transmission see:
Assuming one had to duplicate the entire present grid to accommodate close to 100% wind, which the above calculation shows the costs are presently 0.2p/kWh, – then this would add an extra 0.2p/kWh to the cost of power.[citation needed]
For 100% wind, you wouldnt do it all from Scotland - you would need to have it geographically dispersed, See for example Sindens paper referenced elswhere, and these off shore sites cost in the cost of connection to the main grid,
[edit] W.Somerset Maugham
Given your previous or current interest in Somerset Maugham - can you please add any thoughts you might have at Talk:W. Somerset Maugham#What next? Peer Review? so that we can move the article up a notch? VirtualSteve 09:18, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Order of St John
Several months ago you commented on a reorganization of the St John Orders articles. I'm trying to figure it out again, and your help in reaching a consensus is most welcome here. This is an effort to keep the discussion in one place. Thanks a lot.--Eva bd 19:23, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
