[edit] Why don't you create a userpage already?

One gets tired of looking at the red link for your name.  ;-) —Steven G. Johnson 23:45, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image

Can you upload a larger version of Image:Radiation-patterns-v.png? The text is unreadable and the lines look broken. — Omegatron 08:40, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

OK; I'll have to re-create it - it'd on my list of things to do --catslash 21:18, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
What did you create it with? — Omegatron 22:40, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
I took a couple of screen graps of plots from commercial EM simualtor software, and then tidied them up using the GIMP. Since you mentioned the quality, I've tried printing the plots to a file, and converting them to SVG, but the resulting files are very big - much larger than the image files. Perhaps I should just plot the patterns at double the size, and then shrink them with antialiasing? - or upload the larger plots aand let wikimedia do the shrinking? --catslash 00:57, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] POTY 2006

I assert to have voted for picture 3 --catslash 16:46, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Please correct your "diff" link, which should refer to the addres under which you voted. Alvesgaspar 17:32, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Isolators

Your edit comment here is wrong. Isolators are always made out of 3 port circulators in which one port is terminated. How else do you propose to make an isolator? --Mr. PIM 23:19, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Like this [1] and here is a picture of one [2]. And there's another method, using Faraday rotation; here's a picture of one [3], and here's a Wikipedia page which describes an optical frequency version of this sort Optical isolator. --catslash 23:59, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gauss's lemma (Riemannian geometry)

I have done a draft translation into English which you can find in one of my user pages here. I suggest we keep it there until people feel it is good enough to replace the actual article. Please check it with great care, and leave any comments at the head of the page. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 08:29, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

  • I have followed your advice and dumped my translation into the main article. I had no comments on the translation and some discouraging ones on the maths, which I have put on the article's talk page, in the hope that someone will be inspired or provoked into writing the much more concise article that the comments envisage.
