Hello and Welcome! I hope you like the place. --mav

Opps, sorry. This browser is so f***king annoying when it does that. I thought the saved version had saved it all, but obviously not. Thanks for telling me. JTD 23:02 Feb 6, 2003 (UTC)

Hey Pde, you're at the same university as me! I don't know if you've been to Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Australia yet, but there's a spooky density of Wikipedians in Victoria, and steadily getting spookier. -- Tim Starling 08:52 Mar 15, 2003 (UTC)


Have you been to Kew lately? If melbourne has an upper class (and logically it must have), that is one of the places they live. Cheers Adam 01:02, 7 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Yes well I should have known I would get that answer, serves me right. :)

I see we have some interests in common - Zidovudine caught my eye at once.

Re East Yarra, yes I did notice that, in fact you nearly elected two Labor MLCs because of the by-election. (This is a hobby of mine see my election archives).

I see you have written a lot about Aust political history, as have I and others. One of the weaknesses of this project is that it grows without planning. Do you think it would be a good project to try and consolidate all the Aust politics and govt articles into a coherent structure that people could follow, and also to try and achieve some uniformity of standards?

Sorry comrade, the Moreton preferences story is a myth. See this page Adam 09:47, 12 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Hello Pde! I'm sorry but i saw your comments on Pompey just now. I replied in the talk page. Cheers, Muriel Gottrop 10:29, 31 Oct 2003 (UTC)


Pde: See User Talk:sanders_muc for a reply to your question. -- S

pde: I'm unfamiliar with the logical operator that you used there. Tell me, how does the statement you made: "it's an open question (that is, the answer is unknown), thus the answer is x." work? It's seems like it would be a very powerfull operator, which could solve all sorts of unanswered questions. -Kevin Baas

Hi Pde, congratulations on your Computer Science comments for the Matrix Series pages, they were quite insightful. I'll be checking out some more of your edits. Lawrence Lavigne 01:57, Dec 24, 2003 (UTC)

Okay, I'm supposing you read some paper by some young student that spoke of this "the universe is a turing machine" theory. I have to say, PDE, you're very gullible. Open your eyes! Look around you! Mathematics is a tool. "The Matrix" is a movie. etc. etc. Physics is not reality. Physics is a very piecemeal and makeshift description. It cannot "prove" anything. Perhaps you need to study a little philosophy of science. Start with Husserl's phenomenology. Sir Francis Bacon might be a good resource, as well. -Kevin Baas 2003.12.24

I'm pretty well read, but I'd be happy to hear your suggestions.

"If the theories get good enough, then perhaps they can aspire to having captured all of the things which make reality what it is." - This statement is completely delusional. Think about it for a little bit.

Actions speak louder than words, my friend. If you want to see some of what I've contributed, you can check out the fractional calculus section. Please don't vandalize it. And ask a little nicer next time. Be a little bit more mature in your comments. -Kevin Baas 2003.12.24

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

[edit] Unverified image

Thanks for uploading the image

I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the image and I'll tag it for you. Thanks, Kbh3rd 05:49, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

The Santamaria article is now called B.A. Santamaria and I have rewritten it. You might like to amend your user page accordingly. Adam 11:22, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Legal action

Who has advised you of "pending legal action" and what have they said about it? Adam 09:18, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tuggerah Lakes tornado 1959

Do you know anything about the Tuggerah Lakes, NSW tornado of 19 Sept 1959? It is allegedly suspected violent or even F5, but I can't find any information on it. Also, the tornado events listing is now subdivided, see List of Southern Hemisphere tornadoes and tornado outbreaks. Evolauxia 00:16, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
