User talk:Hankwang

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think the convention of indenting answers on talk pages is very confusing if any comment is longer than a single paragraph, especially if there are more than two people involved. Don't be afraid to restart at zero-indentation level with ---- as a separator.

[edit] negative dispersion

Hi! I found the definition of "negative dispersion" in the part of "Stretcher and compressor design" is inconsistent with that in the "With gratings". After checking other articles I made a little modification. Please double check it, make sure what I have done is correct. Thank you! Timender 13:32, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

I think you are right, thanks for noticing that in the Chirped pulse amplification article. Han-Kwang 13:52, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] TFD

My point is that while we shouldn't necessarily retain this information, the reason given for deleting this template appears to be ungrounded. (Radiant) 14:16, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Yoghurt

I'm sorry if my edit was confusing. This diff is my original post. You'll see I included the two quotes from earlier in the dicussion -- those were not direct replies to my post. Reflecting on it, I decided it was not a good idea to single out those two users as I'm not particularly familar with their positions and I can't say that the quotes I chose accurately represented their views. Since the quotes didn't really have anything to do with the point I was trying to make, I removed them. I figured editing my own post was fair game as no one had posted anything in the meantime.

In retrospect, the quotes were a bad idea all around, considering that it also gave the appearance that those people were replying to me when they weren't. -Anþony 23:08, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

OK, indeed I thought you deleted part of a discussion, but this clarifies a lot. :) Han-Kwang 09:08, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Conducting-68time.svg

Thanks for uploading Image:Conducting-68time.svg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 13:06, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Finding Kefir Grains

G'day Han-Kwang. Thanks for removing that SPAM notice from my talk page. I hope that the comment I added to the Kefir talk page meets with your requirements. Webaware 22:46, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thank you Han-Kwang for finding the Wikipedia village pump and wiki-tech mailing list. This whole episode, in conjunction with filling out the RFM form, was rather intimidating. Its difficult to learn a new system. Its even more difficult to know you only added a command string to the top of the page and then be accused of vandalism. I was completely confused as to how I could have blanked a page and wasn't sure I should try to submit any more forms. Frankly, the whole experience left me hesitant to contribute at all anymore as I wasn't sure I could complete the simplest of tasks without attracting the speedy accusations from a moderator. I would just like to thank you.Wood345 00:39, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User Talk:Wood345

Thanks for your message. I confirmed what I said before I posted what I posted. But I am happy to believe that it was some kind of glitch; I noticed a few odd-looking edits around that same time. --Guinnog 06:52, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gamma in spectrum pictures

I have added the following comment to your image Image:Spectrum441pxWithnm.png:

In its current form, the file does not contain gamma information (PNG gAMA chunk). I’d fix it, but I’m not entirely comfortable with the image upload process – I keep thinking I’ll break something. It can be fixed with pngcrush, using the option -g 66666 (where 1/1.5 = 0.66666…). This has the fringe benefit of making the file smaller. -Ahruman 16:10, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CMRR

[1] Why 1/2 A_s instead of just A_s? — Omegatron 15:07, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

This is what I understood from the -- somewhat obscure -- explanation that was originally on the page: As is the amplification factor for a voltage Vsin that is on both inputs. So if V+ = V- = Vs, then Vs = (V+ + V-)/2. It could be that the original definition was wrong, I didn't check that. I agree that the equation looks kind of asymmetric with the factor 1/2. It would make 6 dB difference (on typically 90 dB) if you leave out the factor 1/2. Han-Kwang 18:36, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I see. It depends on the circuit model you are using. [2] [3] — Omegatron 00:42, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chicken (food) article

On your user page, it says your interests include adding nutritional information to food articles. The chicken (food) article does include nutritional facts on a broiler chicken with skin, it'd be excellent if the article would address the nutrition of skinless chicken breast and perhaps if there's any difference nutritionally between white meat and dark meat. Anyway, just thought it'd suggest it as a possible project; I'd appreciate it. Thanks.--Grendlefuzz 10:22, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. I'm rather busy these days, which means that I have no time for intensive wikipedia editing (and watchlist monitoring). So far I haven't received a lot of feedback on these templates, but I certainly have no problem if you make a WP project out of it. I've mainly added data on vegetables and fruits because meats and processed products are too inconsistent. For example, on the beef page you would need separate tables for all different parts of the cow, which would clog up the page too much. But if you find a way of presenting data that won't cause controversies I'd say go for it. Most data comes from the USDA nutrient database. Han-Kwang 15:21, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MIIPS

Thank you very much for your comments. As most others, I started to use Wikipedia so frequently, then, I think that I should share with others the knowledge I know. That's the point of my starting with MIIPS. It is an exciting technology to further push the power of ultrashort pulse to application through pulse characterization and phase modulation.Xipeng 17:50, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Yerba Maté

The New Oxford American Dictionary, the Oxford English Dictionary, the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language and the Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary all spell it yerba maté with an accent. You can check them all if you wish. This spelling is even stated in the Wikipedia article. Hey, I don't like it either. I speak Spanish natively and find it totally silly, but that's the way things are and our "duty" is to inform what's documented. —☆ CieloEstrellado 11:27, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
