I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!
- Somehow, you managed to have an account for a while without a welcome message, so there you go. Thanks for your suggestion on the Ultimate (sport) talk page. If you're feeling bold, you might as well add a discussion of the importance of the throw to the article. Don't worry if it's not perfect. Good luck! --Christopherlin 21:09, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks from mboverload
Thanks for taking the time to cleanup the heatsink article. =) --mboverload@ 00:04, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
- Fortunately or unfortunately, I'm not done yet either! :-) --Charles Gaudette 00:12, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks from FrostyBytes
Nice work on the Computer cooling article, even though it's almost exlusively changing "heatsink" to "heat sink". I'd have been to lazy to do it. ;)
- Thanks, user:FrostyBytes, for the positive re-enforcement! The whole [Computer cooling]] article is going to take time to clean-up. (Please sign your comments.) --Charles Gaudette 20:52, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Moving Battery
No worries, mate! Didn't mean to mark the move minor, that was an oversight on my part. I don't mind being called on it when I mess something up, but would appreciate a some gentle explanation on what problems I caused along with it. If I don't know exactly what I did wrong, I'm still liable to do a again! ;-) --jwandersTalk 21:40, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Current mac project collaboration
The current WP:MAC collaboration is Apple II family. Please devote some time to improve this article to featured status. — Wackymacs 14:00, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Safari
The Zoological Center Tel Aviv-Ramat Gan (which includes both a safari park and a regular zoo) is special because it is also known as Safari in Hebrew, in other words, Safari is one of its names. By contrast, for example, is Longleat, which no one would call just 'Safari'. However, if you feel strongly about it, please create a list of safari parks or something. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 02:42, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Smith
I think the "bookshop" would be descriptive enough to disambiguate W H Smith from other Smiths that someone might be looking for, without "chic" (or "high street", for that matter). -- JHunterJ 02:57, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
- Ah, I see -- I was unfamiliar with the phrase "high-street chic". It would be clearer to use it as a hyphenated compound adjective, "high-street-chic bookshop", I think. -- JHunterJ 12:33, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Apologies
Sorry about the vandalism on the carbon nanotube article, it was probably one of my brothers. --213.202.143.137 21:17, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 13:44, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Oxford Dictionary of English move
Hi, I see you were correct to move the article to the new location Oxford Dictionary of English. How did you do it? It appears that the history has not been copied over, so could it be possible that the page existed already, and you copied and pasted? I just find it difficult to check the history now. May I suggest that you ask for admin assistance to move the history over. Thanks, Widefox 00:22, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] x86-64
- "A main logic board designed for 32-bit CPUs can never be upgraded with a 64-bit CPU."
-
- "Sentence is inaccurate; there are motherboards for 32-bit athlons which can be upgraded to 64-bit ones"
Wouldn't that be the other way around — "there are motherboards for 64-bit Athlons which can use 32-bit ones."? Maybe I was trying to be too concise, but the point remains: if you don't design for 64-bit from the beginning you cannot get there later.--Charles Gaudette 16:27, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
- Well no, there were 32-bit processors for Socket 754, so someone could design a 32-bit system with a 754 motherboard and later stick in an athlon 64 model. After Socket A was discontinued, people designing 32-bit sempron systems would use socket 754, for example. I guess it's more of a corner case than I originally thought, but is the sentence necessary anyway? At this point, I think someone would really have to go out of their way to find a non-64-bit-capable AMD socket. Kundor 08:47, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Safari
Regarding your recent edit to Safari, if you have a better understanding of the Arabic source, that is great, but the New Oxford American Dictionary — the cited reference — definitely has "to travel" as the Arabic meaning. Do you have a reference you can contribute? --Charles Gaudette 21:41, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, the Arabic safara is (to) travel (as the entry says). The Swahili safari is journey (noun), not (verb) to travel; and the English safari is (noun) journey/trip to see wild animals. As to a reference, the one given is fine for the Arabic I think. As to the Swahili, I could look it up, but it is an everyday word ... Robert Ullmann 23:00, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Mac os x dictionary 1 0 1 aboutbox.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Mac os x dictionary 1 0 1 aboutbox.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

[edit] Dextroamphetamine
I would appreciate your input over at Dextroamphetamine. I'm getting frustrated and having a hard time staying civil with an editor who seems determined to change certain statements, but is unable or unwilling to read the literature. You can find the relevant dicussion at Talk:Dextroamphetamine#chronic_use_section. KonradG 17:31, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
- Look's like a bit to wade through! I've done some crude skim reading, but I'm bogged down with work at the moment. I'll keep this in my "daily" box, but I cannot comment yet. --Charles Gaudette 20:07, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] POV
i saw your comments on bikni news and totally agree. btw i could use your advice on various issues thanks.Heideggger 21:12, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thermal grease and thermal interface material merger
You may already be watching these pages, so this comment would be redundant, but just in case, I've proposed that somebody (other than me) propose a merger: Talk:Thermal grease#Merge_with_thermal_interface_material --ToobMug 11:05, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Obsession with dots
You'll need to discuss this at talk. Now you've made it U dot S dot, then US in the same sentence. It looks so sloppy. Then we have U dot S dot and UK. Needs consensus. TONY (talk) 07:05, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
- Tony, thanks for your input! But I really think you are wrong! Sorry. Please see my comments in the Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (dates and numbers). --Charles Gaudette 07:23, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
