[edit] Isotope project
Hey, I noticed you're doing work on the isotope section of the elements table. I was wondering if you were aware of the project I started, Wikipedia:WikiProject Isotopes. Would you be interested in joining the project and helping out? I plan on really getting started after this week (being my finals week). I know it's daunting the thought of making entries on 3100 isotopes, but I think if we can get multiple people working on this it shouldn't be too bad. You're input would be great. — oo64eva (Alex) (U | T | C) @ 21:20, May 4, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] BC/AD versus BCE/CE
Given you've expressed an opinion, you might want to vote as well at Talk:Jesus#Reversions & Consensus on BCE/AD. Jayjg (talk) 18:45, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] NPOV
Please check out Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/BCE-CE Debate, Slrubenstein | Talk 23:59, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] My User Page
Thanks for the correction Abeo was User Jesus is the Christ 20:29, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Helium
I just reverted your edit! You had removed information about unstable helium isotopes. Was there a good reason for this? Perhaps you could discuss it on the Talk page. Zeimusu | (Talk page) 07:20, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Environmental Chemistry
Yeah, I was mulling that over. I'll see if I'm still irritated by it in a couple of days time, and if so I'll consider it. ;-)
[edit] Existence of God merger
I'm attempting to develop a consensus in favor of merging the Arguments against the existence of God and the Arguments for the existence of God articles. A beta version of the resulting article is available at Existence of God. To date, there seems to be consensus in favor of this merger on the "for" talk page, I'm now trying to get a consensus together on the "against" talk page. Please visit Talk:Arguments against the existence of God to weigh in. I'm copy-and-pasting this message to everybody who has contributed to that talk page. crazyeddie 05:47, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] List of articles about Scientology
Hi Sunborn, I saw your suggestion regarding List of articles about Scientology but noticed you had not started the vote process, so I went ahead and did it for you. Please vote on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/List of articles about Scientology. --AI 6 July 2005 23:32 (UTC)
[edit] could use your help
Please take a look at the Talmidaism page which is now marked for deletion by Jayjg. Now that the disputed merge to the Nazarene page has been removed, Jayjg is attempting to delete the article entirely. He is using his position as an administrator to accomplish what he could not do as an editor. Please help prevent a hi tech lynching. --Ovadyah 15:22, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
At one time you recommended a consolidation of the Talmidaism article into the Ebionite page. It might be a good time to bring up that solution on the VfD that Jayjg set up if you still feel that way. There seems to be a consensus building toward that solution rather than outright deletion. --Ovadyah 20:28, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] 'These are both mahayana views'
The Nikaya doctrine of nirvana-without-remainder means that there is no difference (after death) between a sravaka-buddha and a samyaksam-buddha, and most significantly, there is no ability for any type of buddha to benefit others after death. Therefore, as we are currently in the world of Shakyamuni, the only option for students of Shakyamuni is to achieve sravaka-buddhahood, or if one is to be a Bodhisattva, (like Maitreya), to postpone nirvana until one has manifested as a samyaksam-buddha.
Mahayana buddhism has a distinct doctrine (see eg. Lotus sutra) of nirvana-without-remainder, and so therefore there is a distinction between the sravaka-buddhas who are at peace, therefore not initially engaged in benefitting others (after death), and the samyaksam-buddhas who are actively engaged in benefitting others for all time. For the Mahayana it makes no sense to talk about postponing Nirvana, because they do not assert the same doctrine of nirvana-without-remainder as the Nikaya schools.

[edit] New Engineering Wiki
Engineering Wiki is a wiki entirely dedicated to collecting information about Engineering. I invite you to join this wiki.
[edit] Featured article for December 25th
I noticed you have listed yourself in Category:Invisible Pink Unicorn Wikipedians. That said, you will probably be interested in my suggested featured article for December 25th: Omnipotence paradox. The other suggestion being supported by others for that date is Christmas, although Raul654 has historically been against featuring articles on the same day as their anniversary/holiday. — BRIAN0918 • 2005-11-28 08:30
[edit] re:Category:Wikipedians by D&D Alignment
I noticed you are categorized as a Wikipedian by alignment. If you are in to userboxes, there are now infoboxes available using a standard template. See the alignment category page for details. This is a copied announcement, please reply on My Talk Page or in the category talk if you have any questions. xaosflux Talk/CVU 18:48, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Wiki for Engineering
Engineering Wiki is a wiki entirely dedicated to collecting information about Engineering. The Engineering Wiki is in early development stages at the moment. We invite you to help devlope this wiki.
[edit] Spelling (and link)
Thanks for fixing the link to Mach number. I would suggest these changes to your user page:
The intellegent 25% minority has -> The intelligent 25% minority has
in one vandalism occurance -> in one vandalism occurence
No, I am open to existence -> No, I am open to existance
and on your talk page just above: We invite you to help devlope this wiki. -> We invite you to help develop this wiki.
Occurrence, not occurence. Existence, not existance (ie. the original spelling was correct).
It would be most helpful if one checks one's own spelling before suggesting spelling fixes.
[edit] TfD nomination of Template:Periodic table
Template:Periodic table has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at Wikipedia:Templates for deletion#Template:periodic table. Thank you. (You are notified as a multiple contributor to the template.) --Eddi (Talk) 21:34, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikimedia Canada
Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation. A local chapter will help promote and improve the organization, within our great nation. We'd also like to encourage everyone to suggest projects for our national chapter to participate in. Hope to see you there!--DarkEvil 17:11, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Why do we have so few engineers as Wikipedians?
I am trying to understand why there are so few Wikipedians who are graduate engineers. Once I get a grasp on that, perhaps I may be able to formulate some ideas on how to attract more experienced engineers to become Wikipedians. It would be very helpful if you would respond to these a few questions:
- Are you a university graduate engineer?
- Please indicate in which of these engineering disciplines you obtained your degree:
- Aeronautical or aerospace engineering
- Bioengineer or biological engineering
- Chemical engineering
- Civil engineering
- Electrical engineering
- Environmental engineering
- Mechanical engineering
- Petroleum engineering
- Other
- In what year did you obtain your degree?
- What attracted you to participate in Wikipedia?
Please respond on my User talk:mbeychok page. Or you may respond to me via Wikipedia's email which I have enabled on my User:mbeychok page.
If you would rather not respond at all, that's fine also. Regards, - mbeychok 04:28, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Buddha Purnima
Please accept my Buddha Purnima greetings. --Bhadani 16:06, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Category sorting
I was thinking of it as University of Ontario Institute of Technology. That's why I thought it should sort under O in the categories Category:Nursing schools in Canada and Category:Universities in Ontario. --Usgnus 16:01, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- You'll notice that Waterloo, Western and Windsor are currently under W in Category:Universities in Ontario. But since UOIT is what the Uni is known as, I've used that as the sort key now. --Usgnus 20:21, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Proposal on Notability
Because you're a member of the Association of Inclusionist Wikipedians, I'm notifying you that the inclusionist proposa Wikipedia:Non-notabilityl is in progress to define the role of notability in articles. Please help us make this successful! Also note the proposal Wikipedia:Importance is a deletionist proposla that seeks to officially introduce notabiltiy for the first time. Make sure this is defeated! --Ephilei 22:56, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Proposed Georgia Move
As a past participant in the discussion on how to handle the Georgia pages, I thought you might be interested to know that there's a new attempt to reach consensus on the matter being addressed at Talk:Georgia (country)#Requested_Move_-_July_2006. Please come by and share your thoughts to help form a consensus. --Vengeful Cynic 03:45, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image:American_Atheist_Logo_1.jpg listed for deletion
An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:American_Atheist_Logo_1.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. — Elembis 08:07, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Category:Psuedoreligionist Wikipedians
As you may already be aware, Category:Psuedoreligionist Wikipedians and its subcategories, Category:Discordian Wikipedians, Category:Flying Spaghetti Monsterist Wikipedians, Category:SubGenius Wikipedians, and others, have been deleted. That deletion is now up for review. If you have anything you'd like to say on the subject, now is the time. If you know of any other editors who might have something to say on the subject, pass the word. If, on the other hand, you are not interested in the slightest, feel free to delete this. — Bigwyrm watch mewake me 11:03, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Infinity triangle.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Infinity triangle.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 14:39, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Dianetics triangle.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Dianetics triangle.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Cirt (talk) 01:55, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:Infinity triangle.jpg
A tag has been placed on Image:Infinity triangle.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free image with no fair use rationale uploaded after May 4, 2006 which has been tagged as not having a rationale for more than 7 days.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit] AfD nomination of Symbols of Scientology
An editor has nominated Symbols of Scientology, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Symbols of Scientology and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 13:59, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
