[edit] Fusion Diagram

I have redrawn my diagram in Inkscape (which is excellent) and uploaded an SVG to the commons. You can find it here: commons:Image:FusionintheSun.svg. However, as you have probably noticed, mediawiki, or imagemagick, has not rendered the end-markers at all. Firefox renders them properly, if you view the SVG directly. I am not sure what is wrong. Maybe you could have a look if you know a bit about SVG? The first, slightly bigger, file that I uploaded is the Inkscape SVG which you might find more useful, The second is the plain SVG. -- Borb 21:36, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Particle physics images

Hi Harp. I was just archiving stuff on my page, and I ran across the old notes you sent on particle physics images that you created, organized, etc. I got them all when I wasn't really doing much on Wikipedia, so I apologize for not replying. Anyway, what you've put together looks good—if there's still anything I ought to do to help, let me know. -- SCZenz 17:19, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sentence at Big Bang article

There is no compelling physical model for the first 10-33 seconds of the universe, before the phase transition called for ??????? by grand unification theory.

Hi. The sentence at Big Bang was complete. "Call for" means "ask for", "indicate to be necessary", etc., and there's no way to put a word into "the phase transition called for __ by grand unification theory" that makes any sense. Any native speaker of English would understand the grammar of the sentence. However, since many non-native speakers read the English Wikipedia, I changed it to something I hope will be a little clearer and better style: "There is no compelling physical model for the first 10-33 seconds of the universe, before the phase transition that grand unification theory calls for." Thanks for bringing this to my attention. —JerryFriedman 16:36, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] orbit.svg

Hi, your new figure looks like a significant improvement over the old one. I like it. Put it in, I think! I feel a bit silly suggesting any improvements since it's usually more hard work than it seems, but perhaps the orbit could be outlined with a darker line than the yellow (it'd be useful to have it more prominent than the ecliptic), and the blue arrow for the argument of perihelion could be moved further out from the center so the concentration of arrows there is smaller.

[edit] Large Hadron Collider is Science Collaboration of the Week

You voted for Infrared and this article is now the current Science Collaboration of the Week!
Please help to improve it to match the quality of an ideal Wikipedia science article.

You left a message on my discussion page (Jz_007) Such are the vagaries of Wikipedia authoring that I've no idea how I should respond and the help section wasn't much help! See more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jz_007
