[edit] Antikythera Mechanism

Do you happen to have a reference for your speculations about Archimedes? Could you add them please? (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Antikythera_mechanism&curid=89732&diff=140401377&oldid=140289307) --Oscar Bravo 07:55, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

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.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 03:55, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Superorganism

Hey, I just added a section (as well as some cites and a subhead) to the article superorganism, which you have previously edited. Can you tell me what you think?

[edit] Removal of cite on Meme page

I have discussed the issue on the bottom of the Talk:Meme page. If you have a different source you would like to cite, it would be appreciated. --Pixelface 21:29, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Sigh- I suppose everybody has to deal with people like this sometimes.--Scorpion451 rant 16:14, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to upset you. I removed those sentences because I thought they needed a citation. You helpfully provided a citation, but I could not find the place in the book that supported those sentences. I realize I may have been too strict and that you were trying to help. I acted in haste. I hope you will accept my apology. If you say that book supports those sentences, I will take your word for it. --Pixelface 01:15, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reply

Thanks for the kind words, and sometimes, yes, though, I find it hard for a picture to stare back when it has no eyes (j/k). Have you thought of using this as a reference? It's an excellent model.--Mr Fink 20:15, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Intersting, hadn't seen that before, it would be a perfect source. Thanks!--Scorpion451 rant 20:30, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Texas Tech University

Hi! A peer review for this article is in progress. I would appreciate if you would give us a hand as we attempt to achieve GA and, eventually, FA status for it. Thanks! →Wordbuilder 16:08, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Parts of Talk:Cybernetics archived

I just made a archive on the Talk:Cybernetics page, were I stored the talk items from 2005 and 2006. I however also stored some of your more recent responses with it. I'm sorry these things happen. If you like to discust some of those items some more, you can just create new talk items on the current Talk:Cybernetics page. - Mdd 21:29, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hi, still plugging away (slowly) at ‘System Accident’ article, and can use your help!

First off, thank you very much for your previous contributions and your thoughtful comments. I had belatedly written comments in turn. Someone has recently deleted them, and I’m probably going to re-add shorter versions of them later. The following is generally what I said.

The most important, I’m now open to the idea that the Space Shuttle Columbia was more of a borderline case, because there were people who saw the whole narrative arc, but because of dysfunctional social factors they had to be more sure than was realistic.

I would also like to eventually add additional examples to our article, maybe Avianca 052, maybe Apollo 10. And, I’m working on some long excerpts from a 1988 book that touches on Apollo 13, which might be our best example of all--because of the movie, because it’s something people are familiar with. (The book is called FOR ALL MANKIND by Harry Hurt III, and it’s about the entire Apollo program.)

And, I must confess  : ) I still like the word ‘clunky,’ but as only one of several words that can be used to describe a malfunctioning institution.

Good luck with your writing, your thinking, and your studies, and whatever you have the time and energy to contribute will be fine. Cool Nerd 23:59, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
