[edit] reaction injection molding

i made the reaction injection molding article, its not very indepth yet ~~Lylegordon

[edit] Hex Inverter

Re: Electronics --> Components --> Hex Inverter request. A Hex Inverter simply means six inverters on an integrated circuit e.g. 7404 device. Inverter (logic gate) already exists and should explain the circuit, so will add it as a redirect. Dl2000 02:10, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Invention of Paper

There is a request under the Education section for an article on "The Invention of Paper;" however, the paper article covers the history of paper quite nicely, so perhaps this request should be removed. -Matatigre36 03:28, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] oncology

That oncology dump is ridiculous. Is there really something notable and encyclopedic to be said about every single one of those? I thought this request page was for items that someone very specifically wants, not just generally thinks should be around.

It'd be like if I dumped a list of every book written in 1930's.

[edit] Sample Turing Programs

Turing programming language or Turing Machine? There already seems to be both. --KSnortum 05:38, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Split

Why is it that things like music and mathematics get their own pages, while engineering gets lumped together with food? I think that the sections on "Communication", "Engineering", "Computer science bla bla", "Technology and tools", "Rockets", and "Transport" should be pulled into a new Technology page. --Smack (talk) 19:00, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] blood shift

I took a whack at blood shift; welcome edits. Ikkyu2 15:26, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] No Valley theorem

This page is listed under computer science: No Valley theorem. Google has never heard of it. ([1]) Should I just delete it from the page?

-- Google has heard of the "valley theorem", though. Maybe this is what is meant? --84.9.67.235 18:30, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ornithropter

This is requested under Air travel, but is presumably a typo for Ornithopter for which there is already an entry. Should I simply delete 'Ornithropter'? Treesmill 20:41, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Air travel

IMO the title of this section should be aviation, since Air travel implies people travelling by air. Treesmill 20:41, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wireless switch

Under Computer Science, Computing and Internet:

Wireless Switch ( Isnt this a Wireless access point ? I find it hard to see radio waves being "switched". )

Although they're similar to access points, wireless switches do exist. A quick Google ([2]) confirms this. However, I'm not sure an entire article would be useful- perhaps an expansion of the article on regular networking switches instead.

[edit] Converting to bullet list

I am converting this page into a bulleted list. Right now, with so many red links and all, it's virtually impossible to read. Bullets will also facilitate adding information, varient spellings, etc. I'll do it section by section, to minimize edit conflicts. -Rholton 20:35, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

This has the unfortunate effect of causing the page to be extremely long and harder to wade through. Can't you find some sort of compromise?

[edit] Sterile dock

What exactly does the verb-phrase Sterile dock mean? It is often used in connection with needles. Sterile dock or sterile docking refers to the process of bonding two tubes or lines (mostly plastic tubing) together without compromising the sterility of the internal parts of the tubing. Often used in blood banking industry where tubing from different bags are required to be connected without exposing the ends to be joined together to the atmosphere.

[edit] Isomorphic Projection

I think this is supposed to be "Isometric projection", which already exists. Isomorphic is some kind of Star Trek thing, according to Google.

Having read Isomorphism (as a non-mathematician) I'm not so sure - think it should be kept as Isomorphic Projection but confirmed by a number head. --Mcginnly | Natter 15:05, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bianary Fission

The request for "Bianary Fission" appears to be a misspelling of binary fission. --zandperl 23:32, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RA formatting standard

[edit] Architecture, buildings, city planning and public space

Wikipedia:WikiProject Architecture has a new daughter project called Wikipedia:WikiProject Urban studies and planning. Would it be possible to split the Architecture, buildings, city planning and public space Heading into 2 more manageable headings?:-

  1. Architecture, Architects, buildings & structures
  2. Urban studies and planning, public space

[edit] Health Science

I removed the following requests:

I created redirects for the last 3. --Galaxiaad 17:29, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] TROPHY Active Protection System

I have deleted

An article with the title already exists TROPHY Active Protection System

In future, create a redirect from the requested title before you move it, as I have now done. This makes the article easier to find – Qxz 12:49, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] VOIP Rates Comparison

I don't think this is a good topic to have on Wikipedia. Not only that but market fluctuations will make it constantly inaccurate. --Kingofslackrs (Talk Edits) 05:36, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Although I can't find an explicit prohibition against it, my gut instinct tells me that such a comparison article would be in violation of WP:NOT. Surely your Google-fu can help you find user comparisons and comments for each service. -- Tckma 12:40, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Duplicate content: food and drink sections. Merge?

There appears to be two food and drink sections of requested articles: one here, and one here. Should these two sections be merged? If so, I'm in favor of them getting included at culture and fine arts and not here. Eliz81(talk)(contribs) 17:38, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clarification of content: requests for articles on people who are engineers

suggest to add subsections to Engineering subsections for article requests on people who are engineering ie a subsection of chemical engineering for article requests about chemical engineers. or electrical etc.photodude (talk) 15:11, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
