[edit] Featured picture candidate

 An animation uploaded by you has been promoted to featured picture status |
[edit] Featured Picture Candidate
I nominated one of your animations (Image:Translational motion.gif) to be featured. See Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Translational Motion. —EdGl 02:05, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. I wrote back on your personal discussion page. Greg L 20:45, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- (concerning your last post on my talk page) You should definitely speak out and state your case on the featured picture candidates page! —EdGl 21:27, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- I left a note on Antilived's talk page concerning his vote, directing him to my talk page. —EdGl 01:36, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
There are two users who voted neutral but clearly like it and lean support, voting neutral only because of minor issues. In this case it's not really a bad thing, since there are a few support votes and no oppose votes. Only a few more days left. —EdGl 04:47, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- That's the way I see it. Thanks. Greg L 05:13, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Woohoo, the animation is now featured! →EdGl 00:26, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
It says on the picture-of-the-day page that "featured images are currently selected in the order they were promoted". So, it won't be on the main page in a while. They have already selected pics up to March 1st. →EdGl 01:00, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
- Of course, that's fine. I only picked Temperature because it was the first. Regards. Trebor 07:26, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Elastic Collisions
I've been meaning to ask you - in the animation, are the atoms experiencing elastic collisions or inelastic collisions? In the animation it looks elastic, but apparently they should be inelastic. Now, I know making the collisions inelastic would be a lot harder, it's just that as an AP Physics student I pick up on these things ;) →EdGl 16:18, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
- Very cool indeed! I think the inelastic collision article contradicts what you're saying, which is why I got confused there for a second. Maybe you can use your expertise to help along that article and any other relevant articles you may find. We can't have misinformation in an encyclopedia! →EdGl 16:59, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

- I'm talking about this sentence: "Collisions between molecules of a gas or liquid may also be inelastic as they cause changes in vibrational and rotational energy levels." Hmm, I guess this is something you wouldn't be able to see in your animation, since the Helium is represented by circles rather than "atomic shapes". I'm guessing the helium atoms you are representing in the animation are diatomic molecules rather than single atoms, am I right? It could be that you are envisioning atom-to-atom collisions while I am thinking about molecule-to-molecule ones. I'm assuming there's a difference (?). →EdGl 17:30, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
- This diff shows it was User:Numsgil who added this information. I left a not on his talk page saying I'll remove the info from the article. I'm not going to add anything to the article, but if you see something that could be added, you should; it's a rather poor-quality article (except for the animation lol). Hey, maybe you could put your soon-to-be-featured animation into the elastic collision article? I think that's a great idea! →EdGl 18:26, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Kilogram
I edited your recent addition to the kilogram page and added a citation needed tag. I noticed that you labeled the source you got the information out of in the edit summary, but not in the article. Since I don't have that source, it would be great if you'd check and make sure I didn't introduce any errors in my edit, make sure that the information near the fact tag I added is all in the reference you were using, and add your new reference as a footnote. Thanks!Enuja 08:38, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks so much! I'm a bit fan of the info you added; it's great to know what the prototype is made of and when it was made. I'm happy with the statement of ratification by the 1st CGPM; it doesn't read as repetitive any more. Enuja
[edit] Images
Sorry I didn't reply sooner - thanks for the offer, but I'm quite content with the images already on my page. They have amazing quality, by the way. :-) Mrug2 21:10, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
