[edit] Warthog

I am not sure about that, but the incorrect information remains: "From a distance of 4,000 feet". To investigate further, I watched a documentary on the A-10 which stated that the gun is capable of being accurate to 3.5 miles. Any other source I read on google says 5 miles. Not "Mils". This includes the GAU-8's own Wikipedia article, which clearly states it on the specifications page here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAU-8_Avenger#Specifications

The video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0iqS-XCmEQ

And I am sure more information can be found on google. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Haxxploits (talk • contribs) 02:03, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lotus Notes and PLATO

Hey, a fellow New Hampshire resident! Thanks for the info on the Talk:IBM Lotus Notes page.Rhsatrhs 00:41, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for my tardiness in replying, I was off on other articles for so long. I think the PLATO article should at least have some images of the different terminal types. A screen shot of some of the typical apps, especially the multi-user games, would really spruce it up too. A good lead-in picture would be a shot of a PLATO classroom.

[edit] See Talk Page Of Mechanical Watch As Well As Watch About My Opinion On Your Merge Suggestion

As writer of the article, please see my reasons for a decline, as well as come to understand the fact that you and only a few others are suggesting this merge, and that the merge may be declined, because of a majority decision, and other reasons. G'Day, -- Steven Suttles Stone 00:43, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks For Removal And Finalization Of Tag On Mechanical Watch, And My Firm Apologies...

Paul, you did the right thing to remove the tag. I truly understand anyone's ideas to solicit, and would like to apologize for cracking down firmly on the placement of your tag. I hope you will get better at editing as well as become a greater contributor to the Wikipedia Foundation. As I said before, I did not mean to make you feel oppressed in any way. I am sorry if I may have used any "keen" talk on this page. I am not like an admin here. I do not like oppression and humiliation towards others. Leave a reply on my talk page. Thanks, and have a good one!, -- Steven Suttles Stone 06:35, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Balance Wheel

Hi Paul- Sorry for the delay getting back to you. Just wanted to say thanks for the heads-up on the balance wheel broken picture link. You were right, I misspelled the name. Thanks for the positive feedback and cleaning up those tags, too. I may have gone overboard on the rewrite, but your part still forms the basis of the article.

My first computer experience was with PDP-11s too - they were good machines. Take care --Chetvorno 18:13, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

I liked your June 28 addition to Balance wheel about middle temp error and auxiliary compensation. I didn't realize that auxiliary compensation became a standard part of chronometers and was not experimental. Thanks for correcting the article. I was wondering, did the chronometer industry settle on any standard type of aux. compensation, or did each maker use their own? And how much did aux. compensation improve the accuracy; what is the residual temp error in a good aux. compensation chronometer? --Chetvorno 15:58, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for correcting my mistake... I just couldn't find the line to delete it.

Thanks again, and thanks for your contributions to wikipedia libraries. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ImmortalKnight (talk • contribs) 01:16, August 27, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Ethernet page fix

Oh, good catch. I was editing from work using Internet Exploder, and... well, that pretty much explains it, I guess! Thanks! --_{tiny plastic} Grey Knight ⊖ 20:34, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Signature

Don't forget to leave your signature on talk pages, especially when leaving user warnings. Probably just an oversight... /Blaxthos 17:38, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hello!

Are you the CTO of EqualLogic? (If so, (a) nice to meet you and (b) I may have spoken with you before, and would love to follow up).

Yes, that's me. Hi! Sure, would like to hear from you, I really enjoy your iSCSI efforts. Email works. Paul Koning 22:08, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Data as a plural noun

Hi Paul- I saw your recent edit on the Voyager 1 article. Here is a link to a post I made on another user's talk page regarding the use of the word "data". -Eric ^(talk) 14:15, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Inquisition(s)

Hi there - see my reply to the issue you raise. --Paularblaster (talk) 12:55, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Babel xx-5 question

Hi Paul- I went to the Babel talk page looking for clarification on the category 5 "professional" designation, and saw your name in some discussions there. I posted a question and am wondering what your view might be (I'm watching the page). Thanks in advance. -Eric ^(talk) 14:09, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tapping out morse code

I was amazed at your edit removing

"Morse code in general cannot be transmitted (contrary to Hollywood) by banging on a structure."

...because I thought I'd removed that! It was certainly my intention to do so. Why I removed only part of those edits and not all, I have no idea. Anyway, good work. Jeh (talk) 00:22, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Parachuting

I checked the following websites in reference to the change. As you can see there are variations of the exact recorded speed.

the one website i found most compelling was http://hypertextbook.com/facts/JianHuang.shtml —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dubrules (talk • contribs) 09:19, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

If you compare the two articles of Joe Kittinger and Parachuting, you will see the change was to fix the discrepancy of the speed in the parachuting article with that of the one on Kittinger's page. I would consider this to be a "constructive" change, despite it being wrong. With the Air Force website stating the 714 mph I have changed the other Wikipedia articles to reflect what I have found. Feel free next time to dig deeper into why a change was made and actually improve information in ALL the articles, not just one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dubrules (talk • contribs) 09:08, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nice

You did a great job on the photo of Seymour Cray. At last a free image. -Susanlesch (talk) 22:47, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RSTS

Hi... Your bot changed "a RSTS/E user..." to "an RSTS/E user...". But "RSTS" is pronounced as if it were a word, not letter by letter, so the previous text was correct. Could you add this to your exceptions? Thanks. Paul Koning (talk) 22:30, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi Paul. Sorry about that. Exception duly noted! Cheers, CmdrObot (talk) 22:56, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Emery Molyneux: Translation of non-English terms

Thanks very much for your help! I've included the translations that you've provided (with some modifications) in the article: see "Emery Molyneux#Books". — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 18:48, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the latest Latin translation. Forgot to ask: what does "In ædibus" mean? Do answer on the article's talk page. — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 23:08, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
