[edit] Crypto classification

Hi, and thanks for your classification of various crypto pages! Good stuff. One thought, though, is that if an article is in, say, Category:Block ciphers, it doesn't explicitly need to be placed in Category:Cryptographic algorithms, because block ciphers are a subcategory of cryptographic algorithms; we can just delete the latter category. Thanks again! — Matt 07:56, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Type 1 encryption

I've made some comments at that page's discussion. I like what you are doing, but suggest a different organization. Best, --agr 03:19, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Anon user

1 week block for that A.J. Jacobs loser vandal. Thank user Taxman.Gator (talk) 17:40, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Aesthetics

Yeah, thanks, I still suck at wikification and copyediting, and a huge section of the links had changed names since yesterday and no longer worked, you'd think African Art would redirect to African art but no ... Thanks Bmorton3 20:49, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Progressive animation

Given that the AfD on Progressive anime has now closed and that article has been deleted but not Progressive animation, it would probably be a good idea to list Progressive Animation in its own AfD. --Daduzi ^talk 15:53, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] One-key MAC

Hi Inkling. I saw you reverted my edit to the One-key MAC article. You commented your revert with 'Reverted - we use "an NIST recommendation" rather than "a NIST recommendation" because NIST is pronounced "en eye ess tee".'. And I see what you mean so no problem.

However, you also reverted my addition to the first sentence of the article: "In cryptography, OMAC (One-key MAC) is" -> "OMAC (One-key MAC) is". Was that an accident or don't you like that we mention what area an article belongs too? I thought that was common encyclopedic style. Of course there are many other ways to mention what general area an article is about in the first paragraph. The word "cipher" in the same sentence should make it fairly clear to most people that happens to stumble on that page. But I like to have a link to the main article of the subject and thus also the name of the area in the first paragraph.

By the way, you can respond here, I put other's talkpages on watch when I write on them. --David Göthberg 19:04, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
