[edit] Copyedit on The Sims 2
Excellent copyedit on the article, it was long over due.--Crossmr 03:47, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sims 2 editing
I appreciate what you are trying to do with The Sims 2. I don't want to discourage you from your present course, but I would like for you to know that what you see there will be changing drastically in the next couple of days. I'm working on a new version of the article at User:Braindrain0000/The Sims 2. I would appreciate your input there. I'm still wikifying the article with links and references, but I would appreciate comments on the content itself. Thanks. --Carl (talk|contribs) 00:36, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
- I'm glad you're trying to improve the article. It's really terrible and all over the place right now. I just ask that when you begin to make your changes that you pay mind to what I've added and subtracted from the article. --Coltonblue 00:55, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fork
No problem. It needed to be done, with 4 more Eps coming and several more stuff packs, I could image it getting out of control in regards to length.--Crossmr 19:27, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] ARV
Thought you might find this handy, User:Lightdarkness/ARV puts a little "report" tab above a user talk page. When clicked it pops up a javascript input box where you can input the reason for reporting them to the vandalism board, and it takes care of the rest.--Crossmr 19:53, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism warnings
To what are you referring? I reverted him 3 times and you reverted him once, as I reverted him 3 times, I left 3 warnings on his talk page. I in no way prevented you from leaving a warning if you chose to.--Crossmr 00:46, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
- It may have been an edit conflict. I know when I was in the process of reverting him, I left a warning, and went back to the article to notice my revert wasn't there and it was either you or the other persons who's name was there. That might be what you were referring to. I certainly didn't intentionally step on your toes.--Crossmr 00:53, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
- I had a look at the timeline, that's exactly what happened. I clicked revert with popups and had his talk page open in another window. You probably clicked a second before me, and it doesn't give me an error. By the time the page reloaded, I'd already given him the warning.--Crossmr 00:55, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
- Understandable. Not intentional in the least bit, but regardless I'm happy to have him dealt with.--Crossmr 01:01, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
- That's the way it is on many many articles. But they don't want to go down the path of requiring all editors be logged in, goes against the philosophy. About half the articles on my watchlist I cringe when I see an Ip as the last edit (especially when there is no edit summary). Very rarely am I pleasantly surprised.--Crossmr 01:10, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thermodynamic temperature
Braindrain000: Thanks for watching for people who come through and do destructive edits on the thermodynamic temperature article. I have a auto-assigned I.P. address and sometimes get a new one when I run two computers at the same time. I didn't notice when I did my last few edits that I was doing so when I wasn't "signed in" because Wikipedia didn't recognize me. I appreciate your vigilance. Greg L 16:42, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your merger of Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky metropolitan area and Cincinnati-Hamilton, OH-KY-IN Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area
The United States government is generally regarded as the authority on defining the names of metropolitan areas and this area is referred to as Cincinnati-Hamilton, OH-KY-IN Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area by both the legislative branch of government (United States Congress [1]) and the executive branch of government (United States Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census [2]). Is there an explanation why 'Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky metropolitan area' is given a preference over the official government name of 'Cincinnati-Hamilton, OH-KY-IN Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area'?
[edit] Partisan 5
"Thank you for experimenting with the page Wikipedia:Reference desk/Miscellaneous on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Carl (talk|contribs) 03:50, 1 September 2006 (UTC)"
- That question was no test. I appreciate your concern, but I am an experienced Wikipedia user, who has just now decided to make a profile. Partisan 5 03:55, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for reverting the deletion. No hard feelings. Partisan 5 04:01, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks and suggestion
Hi Braindrain0000! Thanks for helping out with the Polar coordinate system article: I've been the only one who put real work into it for a while, so it's good to see that other people are also interested :-). Have you considered joining Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics, by the way? See you around! —Mets501 (talk) 04:35, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Complementary Angle image
I saw where you went back to the original GIF image on complementary angles. I replaced it with my own because I felt that illustrations of basic geometry are better represented with a vector image. In this case, I thought the image quality wasn't quite as good as some of the other images on other geometry pages. --Carl (talk|contribs) 16:26, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry! I didn't mean to change back the image. I actually wanted to move the template at the bottom of the article, but I must have also accidentally changed the image. Thanks for letting me know :-) —Mets501 (talk) 16:30, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Negotiating with Vandals
I hope we take from this that in the future, there is no point in negotiating with vandals, it only makes them feel empowered.--Crossmr 01:18, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Citation in Chemistry
Thanks for the cite. Regarding the problems you were having with the {{cite web}} "accessdate" wikilinking, the template documentation says:
- accessdate: Full date when item was accessed, in ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD format, e.g. 2006-02-17. Must not be wikilinked; it will be linked automatically.

[edit] Ackermann numbers
You rock!
I wrote that subsection and was dreading trying to figure out the LaTEX for that last expression. Thanks for working on it.
Oops: I notice now that it's wrong. Those towers of fours are tetrated. That is, they should ascend to the left from the base 4, not to the right as in ordinary exponentiation. Do you want to figure it out? Kaimiddleton 21:44, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
- Hi: thanks for your reply on my user page. I found this via google. Also there's the entry for tetration. Here's an example of the LaTEX:
[edit] United States Army enlisted rank insignia
I reverted the changes you made to that article. Until svg versions exist for all of the insignia on that page, the advantage of having images that use the same colors and are correct with respect to each other in their relative proportions outweigh the advantages of using the svg format. Once versions of the three insignia on that page that are not yet svg-ed exist, changing to svg makes sense. Caerwine Caer’s whines 08:05, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] WikiProject Louisville growing and changing
WikiProject Louisville is sprouting its wings for 2007! We have a new Assessment Department and a much more refined project template. We have nearly 1,000 articles catalogued for our project. And we still have a lot of work to do. We have 500+ articles left to assess for quality, and all our articles, as always, need tender loving care. Please consider dropping by the project and seeing what you might be able to do to move Louisville-related articles forward. Cheers, and Happy New Year! Stevie is the man!

[edit] Mathematics CotW
Hey Brain, I am writing you to let you know that the Mathematics Collaboration of the week(soon to "of the month") is getting an overhaul of sorts and I would encourage you to participate in whatever way you can, i.e. nominate an article, contribute to an article, or sign up to be part of the project. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks--Cronholm144 18:12, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] UPS Airlines
You noted that UPS Airline's impact on Louisville is minimal, but UPS's annual sustainability report mentions that UPS itself contributes roughly $600 million to the local economy every year, and the 90 or so companies who have moved to Louisville due to UPS's presence have contributed $1.2 billion. UPS is Louisville's largest employer (over 20,000 and growing). UPS Airlines, Worldport, and Louisville are so intertwined that I don't think UPS Airline's article could be categorized as "low-importance." --SquidSK (1MC•log) 09:58, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
- My intention is not to burden the Louisville project by cruftily inflating the airline's importance, but it's one of the largest airlines in the world (number 8 right now, I believe). I'm really not that concerned about it (i.e., no further action required), but I hate to see the airline's importance to the Louisville economy denigrated. --SquidSK (1MC•log) 03:06, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

What does the case Parents v. Seattle mean for public schools across the country. Does it mean schools will once again become segreated like it did before 1954, because the facts I've been reading is a little bit confusing for me?--67.34.213.24 17:22, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
