[edit] Gary Webb

Aloha, thanks for your email. I appreciate your thoughtful response on this matter, but I think it would be helpful if we discuss it on Talk:Gary_Webb. --Viriditas | Talk 10:19, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Article requests

Hi Vinsci. I ran across your stub for Smith diagram. Just so you know in the future, the accepted way to request an article is through Wikipedia:Requested articles. Just add an entry on the appropriate subpage (for the Smith diagram, I believe that would be Wikipedia:Requested articles/Applied arts and sciences). A stub should ideally contain at least a basic definition; otherwise editors who come along might have no idea where to start improving the article.

The other thing to look for are synonymous terms which may already have an article. In this case, I've created a redirect under Smith diagram which now points to Smith chart. This way, content doesn't have to be duplicated and updated in several locations.

Happy editing. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 05:05, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the pointers! I had a feeling there was probably a better way and should have trusted that. Did a search though, in hindsight we probably tried searching for 'Smith graph' which failed of course and we obviously didn't do a full text search for 'Smith diagram'. Ah, well. Thanks for setting me straight! --Vinsci 09:12, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Red Squad

I added more information to the Red Squad article you began. I removed two paragraphs and explained why on the talk page. I am writing here because there was a sub-topic on the page with nothing in it. I did a google on the name and it turned up nothing about Red Squads of any kind. Otherwise, I would have expanded that too. Kainaw 20:01, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
