Headbomb, thanks for your vote. I am not married to any of the details in the text—only the general principle. So long as the details don’t end up being so ambiguous that any editor can do anything they want (and will), then I’m fine with it. I’m looking forward to writing collaboratively ;-) with you to craft language that we supporters agree is the best way to accomplish the goal. Greg L (talk) 19:09, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Relation between isospin and up and down quark content
Hi Headbomb, This section seems to be confusing spin with I-spin. While the particle-quark-contents are accurate, the notes about quark I-spin alignment are every confusing. I am new here so I don't want to change it if that is not the right protocal. Should I change it in the live article or try to create some discussion on the matter?--Vectorboson (talk) 16:41, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
Usually you can change things right away if you KNOW that what you'll write is accurate, and that there's nothing on that talk pages concerning the changes you'll make. I'm sort of new here too (only been serious for a month) so I'm not a pro at things either. I usually bring stuff to the talk page first if I'm not sure of what I'm saying, and if no one replies withing a day or two, I make the changes I had in mind. But I have some questions about that topic myself so I say start a discussion in the talk page and I'll head there after you.
BTW, I'm no expert on particle physics, so it's very possible the the section I wrote on isospin is not as accurate or clear as it could be.Headbomb (talk · contribs) 17:04, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
OK, I fixed it. But as you can see Im not good at wikiscript yet. The term I am calling Iz should be a capital "I" and subscript = lower-case "z". If you can tell me how to do that I will fix it. --Vectorboson (talk) 20:12, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
I'll make the edits to clean it up and merge with some of the old text I still find usefull. There are two ways I know of to make superscrits and lowerscripts. Either use A{{su|p=B}} or A<sup>B</sup> to write AB. To write AB, either use A{{su|b=B}} or A<sub>B</sub>.Headbomb (talk · contribs) 20:16, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks. BTW if you haven't found the particle data group pages yet, it is a worthwhile resource for you

...is especially pertinent to your current projects.--Vectorboson (talk) 20:35, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
Ahhh! I see you are a follower of the Skeptikoi -- and I applaud you for that.. However if there are any who dispute the ACCURACY of my changes, I encourage you to be equally skeptical! On the other hand, I never claimed my information to be pertinent or interesting.--Vectorboson (talk) 01:24, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
(Not) archiving the talk page of "List of baryons"
See Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines and Help:Archiving a talk page. You deleted several sections of Talk:List of baryons without putting them into an archive (as far as I can see). This is not normal procedure here. Please do not delete messages from any talk page without archiving unless it is clearly: libel, vandalism, a mistake, your own message to which no reply has been made, your own talk page (i.e. this very page), or irrelevant nonsense. Even if the question has been disposed, people may want to refer back to it later. JRSpriggs (talk) 17:33, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Third attempt
Hello Headbomb, It looks like we were editing at the same time. I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate your constructive contribution. (It was getting a bit lonely out there). The downside is that the structure is a little unclear now. If you don't mind I'd like to present them as parallel proposals and see how people react to them. What do you think? Thunderbird2 (talk) 21:25, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
I agree that section 4 is just way too long and should be re-written entirely. I'll comment on the MOSNUM shortly.Headbomb (ταλκ · κοντριβς) 21:28, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
