User talk:Damian Yerrick/2005-2007
GNAA(Summary: SPUI informed me that the form of the name of the GNAA wasn't patterned after the names of copyright industry trade groups.) Blast from the Past!Damian! I last saw you fourteen years ago, at Weisser Park Elementary! Do you remember Joe Brennan from the Knowledge Master Open Team (aka "Geek Squad?") We went down to Lexington, KY with Mr. Schott, Kraig Kumfer and Ross ___ (his last name escapes me at the moment) to compete in that other academic tournament (the name of which also escapes me). Wow, that was more than half a lifetime ago! What are you up to these days? Drop me a line sometime here or at my user page. Take care! BTW, did you ever get around to writing that novel of yours...? — Rickyrab | Talk 15:29, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
Hello. A long time ago (back in 2001!!) you made an edit to the then-nascent Calvin and Hobbes article. I wonder if, despite the intervening years, you might be able to provide the source for the information about Custom Vehicle Graphics. I'd like the article either to provide a reference for that fact, or for that part to be removed if it cannot be verified. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
By the way, if you hadn't noticed, Calvin and Hobbes made it to Featured Article status a while back. It's regressed somewhat since, but it's still something I hope you can feel pleased about, having contributed to it in the early stages.

I'd be interested to hear if you don't; I'm under the impression that light labialization of sh etc. is fairly universal in English (and perhaps western Europe). kwami 2005 July 3 07:01 (UTC)
Indiana WikipediansHello! Please consider adding yourself to Category:Indiana Wikipedians. Thanks! Kurt Weber 7 July 2005 02:51 (UTC) Damian, could you explain what's going on with Flood fill? I don't dispute the correctness of the "east-west optimization" — I removed it only because I think it makes the article a little source code–heavy. But I really can't figure out what you mean by "Tetris" and "Columns" — it doesn't seem to be what a lot of other Wikipedians mean by the same names. See Talk:Flood fill. --Quuxplusone 01:10, 26 July 2005 (UTC) Voting on wikipedia:conlangs has startedSince you've been part of the discussion I thought I'd let you know.

DV8 2XL 22:33, 1 December 2005 (UTC) Margaret Keane ImitationI removed the link from the word "imitated" to "Precious Moments" you've made in the article for Margaret Keane. One, because imitation is in the eye of the beholder. Two, even if Ms. Keane's work was purposely imitated, surely Precious Moments is not the only imitator. I think the article on kitsch does a good job of linking them together. --Emana 21:48, 2 December 2005 (UTC) MMCAdded some info to your question about MMC, here --Zelda 18:10, 3 January 2006 (UTC) Barnstar!(archived to User:Damian Yerrick/Barnstars) Category:Aspergian WikipediansCategory:Aspergian Wikipedians which you have included on your user page has been proposed for deletion you can comment at Wikipedia:Categories for deletion#Category:Wikipedians by mental condition.

I just wanted to point out that the template doesn't actually have anything to do with the SNES, just the Nintendo Wikiproject. That being said, I don't really care what image is there, as long as it's not claiming fair use.

Argh!LOL!! Having seen you for years in pocketheaven forum, now I find you have a Wikipedia user page. You're cool, man! Congrats for your playful mind. PS: Oh, don't bother ask me who I am, just a random lurker. Your GSM player is neat :) PS2: "infinitespin.ytmnd.com" LOL LOL LOL!! You are a fascinating guy. The most modern version of Tetris I play is Tetris DX, using Goomba. My first original Tetris game was Tetris Plus, and it got me hooked for hours. Somehow I was disappointed with the GBA version of Tetris, and Tetris for DS just got worse. They don't do them like they used to. It may be Henk Rogers' fault as you say :) --Michael Retriever 16:00, 24 October 2006 (UTC) y-delta transformThe resistor reference designators in the y-delta figure don't match the equations below it for the new figure that you have placed in Y-Δ transform.

I'd like to provide citations for them, but I'm really not sure how...the only public documentaion of the episodes' existence is in things that I wrote and thus don't feel comfortable adding as references, and the only other way to prove it would be to actually acquire CBS Programming Practices's files on the episodes (which I'm pretty sure I theoretically could do, but it'd be a lot more trouble than it's worth). Some suggestions, maybe? -TPIRFanSteve 03:18, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Image:NINTENDODS.PNGThe image was used to illustrate the Nintendo DS itself. There are already a few free images of just the Nintendo DS. Also, if we were illustrating the video game, we'd be better off with full screenshots instead of having also showing the DS. I suppose Orphaned fair use replaced would have been a better tag...

Hey, someone has brought this subpage of yours to my attention, and it appears to be a very long list of external links. Per policy, Wikipedia is not a repository of external links, so it may be subject to deletion on Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion. However, I noticed you haven't touched the subpage since 2002, so if you feel don't need it anymore, you can tag it with {{db-user}}. --Coredesat 08:53, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
Help Prevent Article Deletion: Religious Perspectives on DinosaursHello, I'm leaving you this message because I notice you've made at least one significant edit to the Wikipedia article Religious perspectives on dinosaurs. The article has recently been nominated for deletion from Wikipedia, and there is considerable support for that position. I'm hoping you'll help me support the continued existence of the Religious perspectives on dinosaurs article by registering a keep vote on the article's request for deletion page. The article contains some good information, and represents an unobtrusive way to present notable minority viewpoints about dinosaurs that cannot reasonably be elaborated on in the parent article. It shouldn't be deleted simply because the viewpoints it presents aren't "scientific." Thanks! Killdevil 03:54, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Are we going in the right direction?Since I don't like brutals RVs and in fact your contribution is true (so this is a bit controversial), I decided to drop you a few lines. I write about the new addition about voxels on the heightmap page. I am unsure it is a good idea to consider this. I see this mainly as opening a can of worms. I was considering removing the thing (or maybe reword it in another paragraph?) for a few reasons:
I also do not understand from where you take the three dimensions of the voxels. In a certain sense, the heightmap sample value will be the height but when it comes to widht and depth that's another business since the sample is applied to points.
Intuitively, the space partition (again, assuming it's non-fractional) will be the voxel "grid" but those voxels won't really exist since we care about the corners only. It's again a problem with abstraction level. The idea of thinking at "voxels" seems just a bit overkill... in fact it seems more rational to express all the coordinates in "terrain space" and xform it to real geometry space. Although the difference is mainly on expressing the terms, this cannot be left out.

No CPU!I'm not going to quibble at the change you made to PostScript ('cause your point is basically correct) but if you go back far enough, you'll find that the LA30 dot matrix printer built by Digital Equipment Corporation really didn't contain anything you'd call a CPU or even microcontroller; it was just a bunch of random logic strung out in such a way as to realize a dot matrix printer. But by the time of its successor, the LA36 (ca. 1976 or so), there was a real microcontroller in place, executing a recognizable microprogram out of ROM, using an ALU, RAM, and I/O resources, etc. Atlant 14:25, 18 January 2007 (UTC) Mirrorsoft and TetrisThe claim about Mirrorsoft and Tetris may not be as wrong as it first appears. Mirrorsoft was a company owned by the late and somewhat unlamented tycoon Robert Maxwell. Mirrorsoft and Spectrum Holobyte succeeded in acquiring the rights to Tetris, although there was subsequently controversy over whether Robert Stein was legally entitled to them. The IBM-PC version of Tetris was released by Mirrorsoft and Spectrum Holobyte, as this page from the BBC website based on the television documentary shows. [2] --Ianmacm 21:47, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Could you point me to where the guidance is on placing images below headings, not above them. I've always assumed it was optional, depending on other factors. Thanks.

I suggest you raise this on the MOS talk page to get a consensus for implementing it. Until that happens you can't insist that it is done.

legal doctrine articlesHi Damian Yerrick - It's a good idea to post about WikiProject:Law. This area of WP articles needs a good bit of work. Unfortunately, experts on other jurisdictions are few and far between. Sorry to be a bit irritable about it -- I've lately been a little frustrated with exactly this issue of people putting "globalize" tags on articles that are, by definition, US-based topics. Unfortunately a lot of folks don't understand the difference between legal theories and concepts on the one hand, and legal doctrines -- which are inherently local and specific -- on the other hand.

Serious buisnessWell, there's no reason to link to a one line 'essay', really; links from the mainspace are usually reserved for policies, guidelines and other heavily used project space pages. We don't normally include topics on disambig pages that don't have their own articles, so the last one can go. And we don't need to link to Wictionary for "Serious" and "Business" individually; those links would belong on the articles for the individual words. -- Vary | Talk 17:12, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
