[edit] Spam cleanup

Hi, I just wanted to say nice job cleaning up the New Atlantis spam. I removed some links added by Biopreparat, and I was going to list Egocasting for deletion but you beat me to it. Wmahan. 15:46, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Buff..er

Hello fellow pedant.

I know, and shockingly enough for the Intarwebs, actually agree that a restite water buffer and a mineral redox buffer are not exactly 100% absolutely chemically comparable to a buffered pH solution in an aqueous acid-base solution...but, considering "buffer" is a disambig page, where else does one direct the reader to learn about the principle of a chemical buffer? Surely not the overarching page which does not yet exist of chemical buffered system!

Sure, rocks make up only 99.999999% of the Earth and their chemical systematics are overlooked by chemists who learn about the 99.99999% of chemicals and mostly artificial systems which aren't silicate, but rocks contrary to popular conceptions, behave according to chemical principles (its shocking, I know, because they just sit there for 3 or 4.55 billion years a lot of the time doing fuck all) and, thus, chemical analogies allow us geoloists to explain to other life-forms on this planet how those compounds (ie, minerals) behave in hydrothermal and magmatic systems.

Just so you know.

And thanks for the spelling checks. Rolinator 05:58, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey, I figured you were going in that direction, and it wasn't any sort of out-of-the-blue pedantry. I'd spent the whole day tearing my hair out trying to disambiguate between acid-base buffer solutions and acid-base buffering agents, when people like to use the concepts interchangeably and call them both simply "buffers" (and it should probably be one page called Acid-base buffer anyway), so when your page came along...yeah. Anyway, I like the sentence you added, it really increases the clarity for someone like me who isn't familiar with geologic buffering. However, I am not amused by your planting the notion of a generic chemical buffering page in my head. I like links that are precise and flow well, even if that means there are some extra articles involved. —Trevyn 07:15, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Health Wiki Research

A colleague and I are conducting a study on health wikis. We are looking at how wikis co-construct health information and create communities. We noticed that you are a frequent contributor to Wikipedia on health topics.

Please consider taking our survey here.

This research will help wikipedia and other wikis understand how health information is co-created and used.

We are from James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. The project was approved by our university research committee and members of the Wikipedia Foundation.

Thanks, Corey 16:00, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the survey and for suggestions. We will posting results on my user page when the survey is complete, but feel free to post on my talk page and I will send you a summary.Corey 03:40, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NPWatcher

I am currently working with the developer to fix a few bugs with .NET 3.0, so we had some AfD script issues. Sorry for not cleaning up afterwards. FirefoxMan 13:15, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Foie gras mediation request

Hi! I'm writing to let you know that I've opened up a mediation case (Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-12-27 Foie Gras controversy) in which you are listed as a participant. Please read me comments in the mediator's response area there, and we can decide on a text for the article. ST47Talk 23:55, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

For catching the vandalism on my user page! Not really sure how I could have missed it... And yes, my vanadalism counter's not a template because I like to re-do everything using my colour scheme ^_^ ShakingSpirit^talk 09:47, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Foie gras mediation

Hello Trevyn. Looks like ST47 is trying to get the mediation back under control and has started a point-by-point list of issues. You may wish to give your input, as the rest of the mediation seems to be rather hoeplessly tangled. Regards, Ramdrake 18:00, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
