Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:


Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:

[edit] sp² bond

The sp² bond article is linked to from the carbon nanotube article, where it says that nanotubes and graphite are composed of sp2 bonds. So it would be helpful if someone mentioned the situation like in carbon nanotubes and graphite where the p orbitals form pi bonds that are delocalized across the entire sheet of material. -- Spoon! 20:29, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Move History

Sorry, any possible way of moving the History of a page is still an unknown for me! Good luck! --AlainV 01:16, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Geo-stubs

Hi EagleFalconn. First, thanks for adding stub messages where necessary to items - it's an important task. But... be aware that there are quite a few subcategories of "Geo-stub" that may be more useful than just the generic message (they're listed at the top of Category:Geography stubs). If you can, please use ones like "Africa-geo-stub" or "China-geo-stub" if they exist. Cheers, Grutness|hello? 01:10, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] hybridization

Hi: I too work in computational chemistry, on small molecules and looking at bonding theory. So we should try to reconcile our opinions without cloggin up the main pages!? An early article on why d orbitals don't get involved in hybridization was by Reed & Schleyer (J Am Ch Soc 1990, 112, 1434), which is still quoted (eg Ponec & Girones J Phys Chem 2002, 106, 9506).

I havn't worked with NBO analysis - shall look into it more - but my impression is indeed that it aims to talk interms of hybridization, and constrains itself to use minimal basis set AOs for its localization scheme. But this is recasting the hartee-fock wavefunctions specifically to do so - importing hybridization schemes that were not there in the original wavefunctions.

Maybe email directly? I'm at REMOVED (I kid you not!)

[edit] Indiana Artice

Hi: I have noticed that you have been editing the Law and Government section of the article. You claim that you're reverting vandalism. Nothing that you have removed can be considered vandalism under Wipiedia's Guidelines for Vandalsim. From the page: "Any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism. Apparent bad-faith edits that do not make their bad-faith nature inarguably explicit are not considered vandalism at Wikipedia".

I think you do make a good point in that the wording does suggest that Bayh somehow has competed with Bush directly, and it needs to be clarified. But I think having a comparison to Bush in there does show something important (and interesting) about politics in Indiana. I'm going to try to rephrase it, but please don't refer to other people's valid contributions as vandalism, just fix them. We can work together to make the article better. acaides 02:43, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

  • I got your message. Things make a little more sense now :) But, this exercise should prove to him that the Wikipedia model is sound and healthy. The fact that in his apparant attempt at vandalism actually improved the article proves that much. Thanks for your help. acaides 03:05, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
