[edit] Hex Inverter
Re: Electronics --> Components --> Hex Inverter request. A Hex Inverter simply means six inverters on an integrated circuit e.g. 7404 device. Inverter (logic gate) already exists and should explain the circuit, so will add it as a redirect. Dl2000 02:10, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Invention of Paper
There is a request under the Education section for an article on "The Invention of Paper;" however, the paper article covers the history of paper quite nicely, so perhaps this request should be removed. -Matatigre36 03:28, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] oncology
That oncology dump is ridiculous. Is there really something notable and encyclopedic to be said about every single one of those? I thought this request page was for items that someone very specifically wants, not just generally thinks should be around.
It'd be like if I dumped a list of every book written in 1930's.
[edit] Sample Turing Programs
Turing programming language or Turing Machine? There already seems to be both. --KSnortum 05:38, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Split
Why is it that things like music and mathematics get their own pages, while engineering gets lumped together with food? I think that the sections on "Communication", "Engineering", "Computer science bla bla", "Technology and tools", "Rockets", and "Transport" should be pulled into a new Technology page. --Smack (talk) 19:00, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
- I agree. Any objections? Strawberry Island 03:48, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] blood shift
I took a whack at blood shift; welcome edits. Ikkyu2 15:26, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] No Valley theorem
This page is listed under computer science: No Valley theorem. Google has never heard of it. ([1]) Should I just delete it from the page?
-- Google has heard of the "valley theorem", though. Maybe this is what is meant? --84.9.67.235 18:30, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Ornithropter
This is requested under Air travel, but is presumably a typo for Ornithopter for which there is already an entry. Should I simply delete 'Ornithropter'? Treesmill 20:41, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Air travel
IMO the title of this section should be aviation, since Air travel implies people travelling by air. Treesmill 20:41, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
- I agree. Any objections? Strawberry Island 03:46, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wireless switch
Under Computer Science, Computing and Internet:
Wireless Switch ( Isnt this a Wireless access point ? I find it hard to see radio waves being "switched". )
Although they're similar to access points, wireless switches do exist. A quick Google ([2]) confirms this. However, I'm not sure an entire article would be useful- perhaps an expansion of the article on regular networking switches instead.

[edit] Converting to bullet list
I am converting this page into a bulleted list. Right now, with so many red links and all, it's virtually impossible to read. Bullets will also facilitate adding information, varient spellings, etc. I'll do it section by section, to minimize edit conflicts. -Rholton 20:35, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
This has the unfortunate effect of causing the page to be extremely long and harder to wade through. Can't you find some sort of compromise?
[edit] Sterile dock
What exactly does the verb-phrase Sterile dock mean? It is often used in connection with needles.
[edit] Isomorphic Projection
I think this is supposed to be "Isometric projection", which already exists. Isomorphic is some kind of Star Trek thing, according to Google.
Having read Isomorphism (as a non-mathematician) I'm not so sure - think it should be kept as Isomorphic Projection but confirmed by a number head. --Mcginnly | Natter 15:05, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bianary Fission
The request for "Bianary Fission" appears to be a misspelling of binary fission. --zandperl 23:32, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] RA formatting standard
Please see: Wikipedia_talk:Requested_articles#Bullets_or_no_bullets.2C_dense_vs._sparse. Dragons flight 18:35, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Architecture, buildings, city planning and public space
Wikipedia:WikiProject Architecture has a new daughter project called Wikipedia:WikiProject Urban studies and planning. Would it be possible to split the Architecture, buildings, city planning and public space Heading into 2 more manageable headings?:-
- Architecture, Architects, buildings & structures
- Urban studies and planning, public space
--Mcginnly | Natter 15:01, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Health Science
I removed the following requests:
- Adstringents, because it looks like it should be either astringents or possibly adstringens, the species name of several plants (the meaning of the term is at Dictionary of Botanical Epithets).
- Soyabean juice - impact on hormones-- I think what the person wanted is already at Soy#Potential problems with soy
- Foley catherter-- misspelling of Foley catheter
- Neurodermitis Disease affecting the skin-- misspelling of Neurodermatitis
- Sasbarilla-- I assume this is a misspelling of Sarsaparilla, which is used in homeopathic medicine
I created redirects for the last 3. --Galaxiaad 17:29, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] TROPHY Active Protection System
I have deleted
- Trophy Active Defense System - New Israeli RPG defense system?
An article with the title already exists TROPHY Active Protection System
- In future, create a redirect from the requested title before you move it, as I have now done. This makes the article easier to find – Qxz 12:49, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] VOIP Rates Comparison
I don't think this is a good topic to have on Wikipedia. Not only that but market fluctuations will make it constantly inaccurate. --Kingofslackrs (Talk Edits) 05:36, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
