[edit] Hello - Edit summaries

hi Bill. Thanks for correcting a typo on Cornelius Burges.

Would you mind filling in Edit Summaries when you've made a change; this makes it easier, when using watchlists or the recent changes list, to see what people have been doing. A short note saying "typo" or whatever would suffice. Ideally leave an edit summary every time you edit. The edit summary box is immediately below the main ecdit box. Many thanks -Tagishsimon (talk) 13:04, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for using edit summaries. It made reviewing my watchlist easier. Your interesting name caught my eye. Keep up the great work fixing the typos! Royalbroil 04:51, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for correction on SIGINT

I've been braindumping into articles on SIGINT and MASINT, as well as National means of technical verification -- and a few pertinent biographies such as George Kistiakowsky and Dino Brugioni.

The first two articles are far too long, and I'd like advice on breaking them up -- even though I have more material for both, especially SIGINT. MASINT may be a better first target.

With SIGINT, I don't think it's as simple as splitting into COMINT and ELINT; there's lots of overlap. Any help would be appeciated. Howard C. Berkowitz 15:39, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

I am a new user to wikipedia and I was wondering if I could get your input on an article that I have just posted. Any comments or feedback would be very helpful to me. Thanks. The article is titled Automated Quality control of meteorological observations. Or this should link to it Automated Quality control of meteorological observations --Amanrye 16:37, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Brian Epstein

I saw you deleted quite a bit of text in this edit. I think maybe that ought to be taken to the talk page of the article? I didn't see why it was deleted in the edit summary... ++Lar: t/c 16:29, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I suppose I should have explained that more fully. The usual "undo" function wouldn't work because the same user had made some small intervening edits. I didn't intend to get involved in an edit war. See the Talk Page for Woody44 for more information. Mild Bill Hiccup (talk) 22:00, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
No worries, makes sense to me. Recording it on the article talk page does sometimes help avoid random bystanders (<- me) from popping by and asking questions though. :) Happy editing. ... count me in the "died laughing about your userid" column, by the way ++Lar: t/c 22:47, 12 December 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Glenn Gilbertti

Dude... Your comments on Disco Inferno's page was amazing. Reading his posts on wrestlezone makes me think he is losing it, —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.114.175.209 (talk) 12:25, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summary

Your addition to the article was good but your edit summary left me guessing at first... but you did indeed replace "wtih" with "with". →Wordbuilder (talk) 00:31, 2 April 2008 (UTC)


[edit] The Principle of Principal

I must be getting dyslexic! Thanks for spotting this. Ron B. Thomson (talk) 20:44, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Megohm

Why are you changing "megaohm" to "megohm"? — Omegatron (talk) 23:38, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

The best reference I found was this web page NIST Guide to SI Units Mild Bill Hiccup (talk) 11:52, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Ok, that's fine. I guess both are acceptable. — Omegatron (talk) 01:43, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
