[edit] Edit summaries

Would it kill you to use them? —Keenan Pepper 20:12, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

If you're talking about the Solar eclipse article, I'm adding content, so I would have to include too much. By the way, I think that the subsection titles usually say enough. I'll try to pay attention to them in the future though. Nick Mks 20:19, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Just a few words would be better than nothing. By the way, Solar eclipse is looking good, keep it up! —Keenan Pepper 21:11, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] solar eclipse

The images were clumped together...I thought it looked better but whatever. --Osbus 20:51, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Solar eclipse

Congratulations on getting Solar eclipse to FA status. Great article, I enjoyed it. --BillC 23:16, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

I orginally wrote astronomical, but then i thought that only means large and changed it. I guess I was right the first time.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ace of Sevens (talk • contribs).

Yup! Nick Mks 18:52, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. Glad to help! I'm just happy I got it done in time for the main page :) --Laura S 19:47, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

I award Nick this twinkly barnstar for their excellent editting at Binary Star. Happy star gazing, H ig hway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 23:38, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! Nick Mks 09:06, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

For contributing heavily to one of the finest Featured articles I have seen in a long time, I hereby award you this Wikimedal. Keep up the stellar work! Srikeit ^{(Talk | Email)} 10:38, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! Nick Mks 13:03, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spoken Binary Star

I have it all recorded :) Now comes the tricky (and time consuming) part of cleaning it up. This one was especially challenging in terms of pronunciations, so I hope I got them all right. Had to look up nearly all the star and constellation names, and "spectroscopic" is a tongue twister! -- Laura S | talk to me 00:54, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

With time to spare. I hope you like it! -- Laura S | talk to me 03:09, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Wow thanks!!! for the barnstar :) That made my day. Do let me know when you have another article coming up, the astronomy articles are really interesting and I learn a lot recording them. -- Laura S | talk to me 10:28, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject:Space/Members

Hello - WikiProject:Space/Members has been moved to WikiProject_Space/Members to meet naming conventions. Just an FYI in case you had the page Watched. --Exodio 13:52, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Nick Mks 15:28, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Forgive me, Nick, but I'm confused

Many of those discussions concerned issues that affected the wording of the article directly. How can we be sure how to fairly word an article if we can't discuss what it's about, especially a controversial topic like this? Serendipodous 18:24, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

It is indeed very possible that I have been too enthousiastic in selecting. Feel free to move any discussions back up if you feel that they are essential to article content. Nick Mks 18:26, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] From PlanetCeres

Sorry, not sure if I'm doing this right. My intention is to add content which is contextual, true, and verifiable. This addition seems to upset people. So, I moved the addition topic to the discussion area. But, then my contributions to discussion had been deleted. It's an important topic to myself. So, is there anything I can do? PlanetCeres

Yes, if you really want to debate your contribution in a decent way, you can propose it on one talk page, as you correctly did here (I did move it to the appropriate section and corrected the layout). However, starting a debate about this on every even remotely related talk page, and especially inserting controversial text into articles multiple times, is not considered as good conduct. For now, you'll just have to wait until more people give their opinion about your proposal at the above location, but I'm afraid most turned it down already last night.

[edit] Total re-write of the main Physics page is in progess

You might like to join us at Physics/wip where a total re-write of the main Physics page is in progess. At present we're discussing the lead paragraphs for the new version, and how Physics should be defined. I've posted here because you are on the Physics Project participant list. --MichaelMaggs 08:04, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. As you can see, I'm quite busy, but if I find some time I'll drop by. Nick Mks 08:37, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] But but but

Your assertion on WP:AIV that I ignored a final warning is a lie. I stopped making any malicious edits immediately upon final warning. 151.202.154.225 18:21, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

I listed you before you received the warning that reads this is your last warning, but after you vandalised despite a third level warning, which according to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism, is also a final warning. If you care that much, please become a legitimate editor as soon as your block expires (if there will be any at all). Nick Mks 18:27, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your GA nomination of Supernova

The article Supernova you nominated as a good article has passed , see Talk:Supernova for eventual comments about the article. Good luck in future nominations. --Split Infinity ^(talk) 00:20, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. Nick Mks 13:01, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request

Dear Nick,

I noticed that you have a lot of experience with getting articles to FA status. I have been working on the Ohio Wesleyan University page article and am trying to get it to FA status. I was wondering if you could provide some advice on how the article can be improved? Also, any contributions to it will be even more appreciated! Thank you so much for your time! I greatly appreciate it! WikiprojectOWU 01:56, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

The articles I usually work on are about scientific subjects, which is not quite comparable to one about a university. I'll see what I can do in the peer review though. Nick Mks 17:58, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ArticleHistory

Re your query here, the answer is no :-) The template doesn't handle FAC/FAR, as those templates should be displayed outside of the history (see the instructions at {{ArticleHistory}}). Once the FAR is closed, GimmeBot will automatically archive all the pieces and update the ArticleHistory template. Regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:54, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

I see, thanks for the explanation. Nick Mks 14:11, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

No problem; soon you'll be an ArticleHistory template expert :-) Regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:06, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moon/Alternative1

I don't think you can create sub pages of articles in that manner, and, as such, that is now in the article space, as an article. Perhaps it would be better to put it in user space? J Milburn 13:50, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I did so. Sorry and thanks for the warning. Nick Mks 14:00, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moon FAC

If you can't "see" the dash problem, it's not a big deal. I can fix them if you get everything else in order, but the footnotes need a lot of work. Sources need a publisher, correct article title, and author and date where available. All websources need a last access date. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 03:35, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
