[edit] A welcome from Srikeit

Hello, Septagram, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; I hope you like the place and decide to stay. We're glad to have you in our community! Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Though we all make goofy mistakes, here is what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. The Community Portal can also be very useful.

Happy editing!

[edit] Verilog

Please stop adding Verilog to the list of academic topic areas in the computer engineering article. The existing list is cited as coming from "the IEEE/ACM Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Degree Programs in Computer Engineering", and Verilog isn't listed in that reference. If you want to include Verilog somewhere in the article - although IMHO it's adequately covered by some of the other topic area in the list already - then please put it somewhere other than in the IEEE/ACM list of topics. Thanks. --Allan McInnes (talk) 03:08, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CE

Hi, i am a CE student, and i read your post in the CE article, saying that a CE works under pressure, but my brain dont work well under pressure, do you think this is not the right job for me? And are you a CE? And being a CE is a lot of fun??? how is that? Daniel Leite 12:20, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Every job has pressures. Because engineering is a field that is mainly used in the creation of new things, there is going to be a lot of deadlines to deliver those new things on time. Some employers will expect 80+ hours to meet their deadlines. Some will expect only 40. Some will give you two rocks to bang together and expect a super computer. others will have the proper equipment and supplies. Some will want you to do the work of three engineers. Others will hire what is needed to achieve the goal. If you fall into a position at a place that is "good", there will be a lot less stress. If you take a job at a place that has had fired several other engineers before you on the same project "that could not do the job", expect lots of stress. Stress in engineering jobs can be little or no stress up to bursting a vein. It all depends on the type of work, product, industry, and management style. The main thing to ask is, do you enjoy working on computers and being an engineer. If you enjoy what you do, then it comes down to finding the "right" employer or starting your own "right business." Doing what you enjoy, normally means you do it well and that in its self reduces stress. To find this "right" fit may mean you may have to be willing to tell the 80+ hour employer that you can not work under those terms or turning down customers in your business. I suggest you use your career councilor at your school or an employment center to find the right type of company/areas to work in or the bad ones to avoid. Now when you say you don't work well under pressure, you should also bring this up and see if it is as bad as you say or you may be as normal as everyone else. Am I a CE? I R a Komputter Ingineeer (joke). Is being a CE fun? Some times, especially when things work as expected and you get paid. Ultimately, you will find out that many times customers, coworkers, and management can make a job heaven or hell and the profession is not the problem. Well, it could also be a profession problem since their a lot of engineering jobs ending up in India and China or people being brought to the US creating a glut of indigenous engineers. Also you should post your question on the CE site so other can see it and my response.

[edit] Your recent edits to Science fiction film

Could you please clean these up? The film titles are not formatted correctly, nor wikilinked; that kind of thing. --Orange Mike 14:35, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ratopolis

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Ratopolis, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. BJBot (talk) 22:44, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

(from User talk:Jerry): Recently I created a page on a movie Ratopolis (1973) and it was deleted right after I corrected some of the the issues with the page without any further discussion. the reason given was CSD A7 Article about a person, group, company, or web content that does not indicate the importance of the subject. I believe that the summery of the movie indicated the importance of the subject. Could you look into this for me and let me know? Septagram (talk) 06:10, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello, please see User:Septagram/Ratopolis. You can improve the article in this offline location and then move it to the article namespace, after the sourcing and notability issues are fully sorted out. You may choose to seek the input of another editor before putting it back up. Thanks, JERRY talk contribs 13:29, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Gene Bomb

You haven't provided anything to indicate the notability of this work. Please do so, and ensure you don't create anymore articles without including third party references. Thanks. Richard001 (talk) 05:58, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

A note about headings: please avoid using capital letter unless necessary. The example I'm referring to is 'External Links', which I have changed to 'External links'. An IP added 'See Also' as well, though I don't usually bother leaving messages on such transient pages.
Also, if you start a new page it is good to include banners of any relevant WikiProjects you can think of. In this case {{WPBooks}} and {{WikiProject Genetics}} are the two relevant ones I can know of (you might not be that familiar with the extant WikiProjects, but you can often find ones that are relevant just by having a browse). You might even like to assess articles as you create them, especially when it's very clear cut what the rating should be (for this one, obviously a stub).
You still don't seem to have provided enough information to show the book meets WP:BK though. Basically two reviews or similar significant coverage from reliable, independent sources are needed to show the book is notable. Richard001 (talk) 00:18, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
