[edit] CS Faraday

No problem at all, it was so well written in the first place that very little tweaking was needed. Keep up the good work! Benea (talk) 03:31, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Archimedes bridge and Immersed tube

Hello, Dumelow!

I noticed you have been quite active in the Civil Engineering wikiproject, and I thought you might be ablre to help me. I have a particular interest in Archimedes bridges, but the article currently doesn't go into much detail. I know nothing about civil engineering, but since I'me Cape Verdean, I'm curious to know if such a bridge is feasible between the islands there. Can you help me figure out some facts on this subject? In any case, a little expansion would be good to the article.. :) Oh, by the way, would you tag it as covered by the project?

In another issue, I have read about immersed tubes, also in the scope of my interest in the possibility of connecting the islands of Cape Verde, and the article wasnt quite clear to me. I asked Yupi666 to make an illustration, and he did a great job, as you can see. The text, however, could still be expanded. For instance, see what Yupi asked me in my talk page. Evidently, I couldn't answer to his questions... So, could you give this one article a hand too? :D

Finally, I'd like to call your attention to the duplicate civil engineering project template {{engineering}}. I marked it with {{merge}}, but i left the task to be done by someone closer to that project. I assume you might be interested in taking care of that. disregard this, I didn't notice I was misinterpreting the scope of those two different tags. 20:48, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, I guess it's all. Cheers, Waldir talk 21:35, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! I will too be doing some research on the subject, and hope to be able to add some content to the article. Namely, I'm going to add english subtitles to the videos in the italian company website and upload them to youtube, and link them from the article, among other simler things like bringing content from websites that talk about the subject. If I had some time I'd even make a 3D animation myself, but I can't promise that, since I have a huge workload on school due to be finishing my course. Oh, and btw, probably the best now is for us to communicate through Talk:Archimedes bridge. And finally, I do have one more question -- I assume you might not be able to respond without some research, but then again, I am not in a hurry :) -- which is: what is the possibility of the application of an archimedes bridge in Cape Verde? In terms of length, sea depth, etc... I'm curious about this. Maybe if I become rich some day I'd build one :D Waldir talk 09:55, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edinburgh Zoo

Hi! I noticed you voted for Edinburgh Zoo to be the next ACID article. Thanks for your vote, and I was wondering if you could take a while to look over the Zoo's article, to see if you can add/correct information, or generally improve on the article? Any help you can offer would be great, as I'm currently pushing for Good Article status! Thanks again :) — Jack · talk · 03:24, Thursday, 3 January 2008

[edit] Premier Basketball League

The only top level basketball league in the US is the NBA. The Premier Basketball League is considered a "developmental" league, and such leagues receive virtually no coverage outside their home markets. Some don't even get that. These leagues rate far below college basketball on the notability scale. Hope this helps. DarkAudit (talk) 16:53, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
