[edit] Cuban convertible peso
You added a request for citation on the pegging to USD $1.08. Are you wanting a source for the $1.08 ? Or the pegging ? -- Beardo 05:52, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
- I was thinking for the $1.08. I thought that there probably needed to be some source for this number. I mean, exchange rates are constantly changing, right? DroEsperanto 06:47, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Photosynthesis
In the Photosynthesis article, you said that including an extra six water molecules on each side of the equation was more accurate an equation than without. Could you explain this to me? I'm not protesting this; I'm just curious. DroEsperanto 01:31, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
- It can be confusing. I remember in my high school textbooks when the older, "balanced" equation was used and taught. But as a biology major, I learned that in the Calvin Cycle of sugar synthesis, the six oxygen atoms that are liberated from the plant don't come from the carbon dioxide it "breathes", but actually comes from water molecules that the plant uses as a reactant in photosynthesis. Because each water molecule has only one oxygen atom, the plant will need twelve molecules to fully complete the cycle. Later on in photosynthesis, six water molecules are also products. This occurs during carbon fixation, in which the carbon dioxide is built together into a sugar molecule and hydrogen ions are used to turn reactive oxygen atoms that go flying off into useful water molecules that can be used again by the plant as soon as the cycle completes.
- I hope this helps! Let me know.--Ryan! 05:38, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] New WikiProject?
Hi Dro,
A few of us are thinking about starting a WikiProject for Textile Arts, to bring knitting and all such fiber crafts under one roof, together with clothing and fashion design. A WikiProject would allow us to use the automated assessments of the Mathbot, which in turn seem important for incorporating our work into the Wikipedia mainstream. We need to find 5 editors who are interested in editing, say, one article per month — would you be willing to join? I hope so! The sign-up page is here. I can do the initial technical set-up, so that shouldn't be difficult. Hoping all's well with you, Willow 12:16, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Textile Arts WikiProject
I saw your question on Willow's talk page. You can find all articles that have been tagged for our project here. I think I got everything in Category:Embroidery as of this morning. We've tagged 230 articles already.
I've only been actively working on projects for a few weeks myself, but I have faith we'll figure this out. - PKM 02:35, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Ha.
Well done Wikipedia'ing the bullshit from Gaia Online. Shem(talk) 02:20, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. It keeps coming back, though. DroEsperanto 20:02, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Gaia Online
Personally I have little experience with gaia online, but from what I understand, the world map is toted as the primary means of navigation, so I didn't think that getting rid of something like that, espicially when an editor more experienced with it could change it, would be beneficial to the article at all.--Tempest115 20:25, 19 March 2007 (UTC) p.s. ignore the last edit. I apparently wasn't logged in.
- That's okay.
- No, the World Map used to be more important, but now it's more of a secondary way of navigation, since they've been reorganizing the site a lot. If you visit it, you'd see that up top there are all sorts of tabs and stuff. Now, it's mostly used for event stuff (like, travel the world map and you'll see Jack and he'll give you a grab bag or something). Though I think you're right – it's better to re-add it than it is to get rid of it completely. Thanks for contributing! — DroEsperanto 20:53, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Note from Megamom
Thank you very much for the nice note that you left on my talk page. I am new to Wikipedia, and I honestly didn't realize I had a talk page! I would be delighted to participate in your Textile Project. It sounds right up my alley. Thank you kindly for the invitation. Best Regards, MegaMom 04:17, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Loituma Girl GA nomination
You placed this article on hold for GA status, and I have made edits in an attempt to address your concerns. It has been sitting for a couple of days since then. Feedback would be appreciated. --tjstrf talk 20:41, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
