Scientific precision

Please take care to be very precise with numbers. For instance, when you mean the range between 600 and 800, never ever abbreviate that to 6-800 as you did in this edit. The huge addition of ambiguity from 6-800 is not worth the savings of two characters, especially with an electronic rather than printed medium. --Cyde Weys 20:17, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Clearing the bloody neighbourhood

This comment was excellent [1]! Amazing how many people have been at the article, offering their two farthings on a subject they know nothing about. Reminds me of politics.  ;) •Jim62sch• 13:26, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
I was wondering if you could provide me with a graphical dipiction of examples. I very much wish to fully grasp the concept. You can place it either here for others to see or on my talk page. Thank you in advance. Abyssoft 14:12, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
