[edit] Physica D paper

The only paper in Physica D by a Fink is "Robustness and efficiency in inverse protein folding" (doi:10.1016/S0167-2789(97)00087-0). Is protein folding that similar to necktie folding? —Keenan Pepper 17:42, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

The paper is in fact in Physica A: Thomas M. Fink and Yong Mao, `Tie Knots, Random Walks and Topology,' Physica A, 276, 109 (2000). The cover in use is the US hardback. More common now is the UK paperback cover, which is also the cover available to US Amazon buyers.

Here's a link to a publicly archived paper: Tie Knots, Random Walks and Topology Thomas M.A. Fink, Yong Mao, 2000. Maybe someone can add a reference?

It's now linked at the bottom of the article to a pdf version.

[edit] New knot?

How about Li Co Li Ro Ci Ro Li Co T ? this is a perfectly fine and balanced knot. Why isn't it included, anyone know?

This is a variation of the Windsor knot, see the Wikipedia article on that knot, where it is listed.

Incidentally, the knot pictured in the Windsor knot article is patently knot a Windsor knot.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:The 85 ways.jpg

Image:The 85 ways.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
