[edit] Found a picture

Hello, I used a picture from your page in our "Souterrains Picture Of the Day" (SPOD) project. Maybe Mike, the author of the picture, has his own website ? What is his full name ? [[1]]

[edit] Rotameter

Brockert, you mentioned one drawback of the rotameter is that the operating pressures are limited to the yield strength of the glass. For cylinders under internal pressure the maximum allowable pressure equation is as follows: P=(2*t*Sy)/Do, where P is the internal pressure (gauge), t is the cylinder wall thickness, and Sy is the yeild strength of the material that makes up the cylinder walls. So, the maximum allowable operating pressure is proportional to the yield strength of glass. Thanks, rei46279.

Greetings, based upon this: User_talk:Wolfman#Arminus , I thought you might like to know about this : Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Improper_Admin_Behavior... take it easy! Netscott 09:13, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Small, small world

I found out about 4 minutes ago that my boss is your cousin Eric. :) Cburnett 17:39, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

That is one amazing coincidence. Neat. Tell him I said hi, and that he should send me an e-mail address, because all I have is Jill's. —Ben Brockert (42) 02:40, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Latitude and longitude of airports near U.S. cities

...Is up for AfD. You are the primary contributor, and I feel you really ought to know about it. It closes in only two days. Grandmasterka 05:42, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Good riddance to stupid articles. —Ben Brockert (42) 05:23, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Iowa

Hello, I noticed that you edited an article related to, or expressed interest in Iowa. Therefore, I was wondering if you would be interested in joining (proposed) WikiProject Iowa? If so, please add your name to "Interested Wikipedians" at Proposed WikiProject Iowa --Tim4christ17 03:41, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Done. —Ben Brockert (42) 05:23, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
The WikiProject has been created. Feel free to join it at Wikipedia:WikiProject Iowa.

Love the addition! It's not a closed club - if you agree with the principles then sign up! Sophia 15:53, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your quick project

Here you go:

  • Why did you pick that article?
    • I've been a fan of the band for years, and knew a lot of information as well as had a good deal of it going in.
  • Do you do any drafting outside the wiki?
    • Not in this case, no. I rarely do off-wiki drafting, I'll occasionally use a project area in userspace, but not here. This article in particular was the first one I ever created, so a lot of the framework I put up myself early on.
  • What people provided feedback before the final version? (i.e. anyone outside FAC or the talk page?)
    • Well, it passed a good article review, I had some help from folks on IRC, and one of the members of the band actually found it and thought it was more accurate than most newspaper bios.
  • What were the most important issues addressed in the composition process?
    • Trying to be detailed while staying within the parameters of Wikipedia's somewhat flawed policies on what constitutes a good source. With indie bands in particular, new information can be harder to come by than say, R.E.M., who have at least three books written solely about them.
  • Do most of the articles you write follow a similar process? Why/why not?
    • It depends. When I work on history articles, there's a larger pool of information to work with, so I can worry more about phrasing and clarity than trying to make do with limited information. For instance, I've been working on bring Kroger Babb up to GA territory, and there's a lot more detail to work with than The Reputation, so it's more about making it clear than working in what limited information is available. In another instance, I started National Gazette yesterday afternoon, and I know it's going to be a little harder to find information easily, so I'll probably be working from a similar mindset that I am with The Reputation article.

Hope I wasn't too long-winded there. I'll be gone until Sunday afternoon in a few hours, so if you have any follow-ups, I'll take care of them then. Good luck! --badlydrawnjeff talk 12:12, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
