TimeRequest for citation for Time edit Hello. Can you please provide a citation for the information you added to the Time page, specifically the part on circular time that reads "This concept necessarily requires the existence of fifth and sixth dimensions, within which the hypothetical circle of space-time might exist."

Thanks for the messageIm glad someone has given me pointers on how to edit the wikipedia site thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 0555 (talk • contribs) 19:53 26 July 2006 (UTC)
NUMB3RSHey, Mike. I noticed you just edited the NUMB3RS page at the same time as me. I already added the DVD information into the episodes page. I am going to remove the DVD section on the main page. If you have any problems with that, I'll be happy to talk to you about it. Sorry. -- Ladida 14:09, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
neutrino oscillationsHi Mike, Why did you cut out the entire section [1] that I had just written on the experimental evidence for neutrino oscillations? Was this the result of both of us having the article out at the same time, or do you feel that there is some reason not to cite any of the evidence? Whoops - guess I see that you just put it back in, thanks. But I think that the experimental evidence should come before the theory section, the average reader is probably more likely to understand the experimental section.

Feist booksCan you do that for the rest of the Feist books? It looks awkward on only two of them. Also, the first release should be noted first, not second, IMO. I have a copy of Flight on my book shelf.

SS Great Britain picHi, Thanks for improving on my picture of the SS Great Britain propellar. I'm not much of a photographer & was being hassled by my kids at the time. If you have other photos of Bristol attractions you might want to see the Wikipedia:WikiProject Bristol where there is a challenge to improve (or provide in the first instance) images for Bristol attractions. I seem to have done most of the submissions so far & as you've noticed my photography is not very good. — Rod talk 20:08, 20 August 2006 (UTC) I have cleaned it up a second time; does it rate A in the latest version by myself? ---CH 22:59, 22 August 2006 (UTC) Here's an unexpected volte face: now I say, demote it to a C at best. Seriously misleading, many factual inaccuracies (since based upon poorly researched newspaper articles; the New Yorker piece seems to be by far the most authoritative account and it paints a very different picture). I have just left a long message at Talk:Grigori Perelman summarizing what I learned from the New Yorker piece and what I feel about what I read there. Pretty sad, really. Everything good and true, it seems, is soon perverted into something ugly. ---CH 06:22, 24 August 2006 (UTC) ArXiv citation templateMike, I replied on my user page. The arXiv and journal citation templates are completely different and serve different functions. Getting the arXiv citation template was one of my finest achievements at Wikipedia, so please don't delete it!!!!!! ---CH 19:07, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
Arghgh! Sure enough, I have munged something and don't see where. Can you find my grammatical goof? The problem is that all but the last footnote suddently "duplicated" (ab in the references section) after I added one more. ---CH 21:25, 28 August 2006 (UTC) Never mind, I accidently fixed it. But we need to draw up a itemized list of common syntax problems and put it somewhere where prospective editors cannot miss it. ---CH 21:33, 28 August 2006 (UTC) Good grief, the mysterious error is back. Never mind the never mind. Alarm! Alarm! Looks like this is running away with endless duplication of references which will grow exponentially. I hate to think what that might do! ---CH 21:35, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Ralbot 06:35, 29 August 2006 (UTC) LebedevI was looking through the Mikhail Lebedev page and it seems to be vanity and non-notable to me. First of all, there is hardly any information about him on Google. Then, none of the publications seem to be news-worthy and notable. Finally, the scientist does not have many 1st author publications and seems to be non-important in his field. If you agree with me, can you please help me nominate Mikhail Lebedev for deletion? --GoOdCoNtEnT 08:42, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

How does one go about finding that number anyway? (I've been around here an astonishingly long time without learning the details of how bots work, which is a defect I should remedy someday.)

I like the style of yours better in that its light, but its lacking any sort of division. Can you hold off on spreading it around for a bit till we get it totally worked out? Lets setup a sandbox somewhere and get a nice version going then push it out to as many particles as we can. What do you think?-Ravedave (help name my baby) 21:36, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks muchly!Hi, Mike, thanks so much for the Barnstar and your help in shepherding Photon to FA status. I had to leave again for a few days on a serious family matter, and I was admittedly nervous about what might happen to jinx the FA. So it would be hard to describe my happiness when I returned last night and found that Photon was an FA, thanks to your stepping in and answering those criticisms. Your work with Ravedave on the Template:Infobox Particle was wonderful, too. Wikipedia is as full of good, smart people as a pomegranate is full of seeds.

Ralbot 06:34, 3 October 2006 (UTC) Classical mechanicsI really think that classical mechanics has Top-importance in physics. After all, it is the foundation of all our physical theories, even (unfortunately) quantum mechanics. It's impossible to know anything about physics without knowing classical mechanics. So I changed the importance – I'm not sure if it is OK to just go in and change it or not. If it doesn't work that way, please revert and leave me a little explanation. Thanks. –Joke 16:26, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
Your sorting effortWow! This will raise the number of assessed articles substantially. Do I understand the process correctly, that once tagging is done, a bot will generate overview and stats pages. One minor caveat: Award articles, like Wigner medal, all seem to get the "stub" category, per "auto", allegedly because of a stub template. But:
Only a nitpick in the grand scheme, but I'm just watching a number of those articles, so I was wondering. Pjacobi 22:08, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Total re-write of the main Physics page is in progessYou might like to join us at Physics/wip where a total re-write of the main Physics page is in progess. At present we're discussing the lead paragraphs for the new version, and how Physics should be defined. I've posted here because you are on the Physics Project participant list. --MichaelMaggs 08:04, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Template-happy foolsYou've got to be kidding me? Slapping a WikiProject Physics tag on Zentner, an old unit of mass used in commerce in Germany and Austria, but long-since fallen into disuse and rarely seen in the last century or century and a half or so, one which was never used in physics? Get real. That isn't helpful to the WikiProject, nor to the article. Gene Nygaard 22:01, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Ralbot 06:28, 24 October 2006 (UTC) Project Physics tagI see you have added the tag to a lot of articles that are on my watchlist. That is great. However I also think they should be tagged for the Chemistry project. Most of them are methods that were developed by chemists, e.g. NDDO, MINDO, SINDO, etc. If you come across any like this, perhaps you could add {{chemistry}} as well and save effort. I'll add it those you have taged. --Bduke 22:38, 27 October 2006 (UTC) I see you have removed the Physics project tag on Talk:Semi-empirical quantum chemistry methods. That is fine. To be consistent it should be removed from all articles that are about such methods, e,g, NDDO, MINDO, etc. I see you have removed it also from some talk pages about ab initio programs, such as Talk:JAGUAR. Again to be consistent, it should be removed from all talk pages of articles about ab initio programs. Can I do this as I add the Chemistry Project tag? --Bduke 23:26, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

You tagged this article as being physics-related, which I think is incorrect. Wendt was an engineer and pad technician, not a physicist, so unless engineering is considered to be a physics field, I think that the tag should be removed. MLilburne 09:39, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
I responded to your commentThanks for your input. Serendipodous 19:17, 22 November 2006 (UTC) Your posting of a {{physics|class=|importance=}} tagMike, you or your robot just posted a {{physics|class=|importance=}} tag on the Talk page of the Standard conditions for temperature and pressure article which is completely incomprehensible! It asks readers to rate the article and has a post "here" link. When one presses that link, one is sent to a blank comment page with absolutely no instructions on how or where to provide one's rating. If you are going to go around posting this tag, then you should also post detailed, explicit instructions on how we can rate the article and where to do so. Just referring us to Wikipedia articles or FAQ defining certain ratings is not enough. You must tell us how and where to rate the specific Standard conditions for temperature and pressure article. If you don't provide that information, then I will be sorely tempted to just delete your tag. - mbeychok 03:52, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Your bot added this category to the physics project. I'm not a physicist, so I don't know really how useful fixed points are in physics. But many of those articles are purely mathematical, and probably should not be in the physics project. I just noticed you tagged Lefschetz zeta function, which I'd be very surprised to see in physics (though I could be wrong). Staecker 01:55, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Can the Peelbot be made a bit more intelligent and discriminating?Mike, in the last few days, I have been amused by how many articles that the Peelbot selects to tag as an article for the WikiProject Physics. The latest one I've noticed is the Units conversion by factor-label. For the world of me, I cannot see how any serious, real world physicist would have the slightest interest in such an elementary, simple article (even though I wrote it). Would you please remove that tag? Regards, - mbeychok 17:24, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
OVV quasars tagged as part of WikiProject physicsCould you please tell me why you marked OVV quasar as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Physics? It looks like it would be better handled by Wikipedia:WikiProject Astronomical objects. Dr. Submillimeter 18:04, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Your query about archiving the project talk page using Werdnabot seems not to have received a clear response in either direction. How would you feel if I did a conventional manual archive? At 114K the page is too big. EdJohnston 20:06, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
HypernovaePlease see my responses to deleting Category:Hypernovae at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Astronomical objects and Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 December 29. Hypernovae are a real class of objects, as shown by an ADS Abstract Search on the term. Moreover, several individual objects have been identified as hypernovae (including SN 1998bw, which I added to the category). Moreover, plenty of papers on individual hypernovae have been written (see the references on SN 2002ap in the supernovae section of Messier 74, for example), thus providing more material on these objects than many other astronomical objects within Wikipedia. Dr. Submillimeter 21:04, 29 December 2006 (UTC) Case of shortcuts: too bad it matters!Yes, trying WP:PHYS certainly is a failure for me. However I find I get correct results with wp:wpm. It's hard to figure the general rule. I recently created a shortcut CAT:INVALID for which cat:invalid also works. A mystery! 'wp:wpao' doesn't go anywhere, though I could create an explicit shortcut for that. Have you read anything about this behavior? The only thing I know that I read is that the case of the first letter in the 'Go' box doesn't matter. EdJohnston 21:58, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Werdnabot reliabilityHello Mike. Looking at the Werdnabot log, it seems it ran on just four days in December and not at all in November. At present the server at www.epstone.net seems to be down. The idea of Werdnabot is great, it's only the day-in day-out service that seems less than perfect. Of course it's a volunteer effort. Do you have access to a computer that could run Werdnabot or equivalent? It seems that there could be an opening for that if you are interested. Another idea is a 'personal archiver' that could be run locally under manual control on a person's own PC or Mac, but employ the Werdnabot algorithm. EdJohnston 04:48, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
