[edit] Hockey stick controversy

Thanks for your work with cite checking and general cleanup at Hockey stick controversy. Such tasks are laborious and often unappreciated but very necessary. Raymond Arritt 15:42, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Japanese political figures

You've been adding some. to keep them from getting deleted, Just expand, quickly. I slowed down the deletion process. And please also do the same for the other Japanese naval & political people--A few refs each are needed. A book on the period that features them woulddo nicely--even in Japanese. In general do not create short articles without refs.. its supposed to be OK to start them that way, but there are people who are consistently deleting them. DGG 05:44, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

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.

[edit] Underwater acoustics

Hal, belated thanks for starting this page. I have a question for you about the Colladon-Sturm sound speed measurement, which you say is "within 5%" of the modern accepted value. Surely it is better than that? Lake Geneva has fresh water and must be close to freezing. Putting S=T=z=0 into Mackenzie's formula I get c = 1402 m/s, ie about 2.5% lower than the CS value. Given that the actual temperature must be slightly above freezing makes the agreement slightly better. Do you mind if I change it to "within about 2%"? Thunderbird2 16:54, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

I thinks that's reasonable - and thanks for all the improvements. I'm hoping to find a bit more time to edit, as there are still a lot of interesting areas to cover. Hal peridol 00:25, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
OK, it's done Thunderbird2 07:26, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
According to Clay & Medwin p4 the water temperature was actually 8 degC, making the measurement error less than 1%. I'll leave it as it is for now, because the temperature sounds high to me for a mountain lake in November, and such close agreement must be fortuitous anyway (I haven't tried Mackenzie, but Medwin's formula gives 1438 m/s!). C&M give a reference that may be worth checking (Millikan et al, Mechanics, Molecular Physics, Heat and Sound (MIT Press, Cambridge MS, 1965). Thunderbird2 15:09, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
