GSOC page

Fixed. I created a disambig and transfered the old GCOS contents to a new article under a full name. Glad to help. --Tone 10:04, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Arid

Hold on to making changes to arid for a second - I re-wrote it and I'd like to paste it so you can look at it. Then I'd like to explain why I changed things. WLU 23:53, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi,

First off, your changes to the page were excellent, great job! My changes were mostly along the lines of tone, so you wouldn't get pegged with an {{essay-entry}} tag - there's a specific tone that the pages should be written with and though the content was excellent, the tone was a bit too conversational or lecture-like. Have a look at my re-write (in particular, make sure I got the facts right) and let me know what you think. WLU 23:57, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the LAD redo

Thanks Michel for re-writing and updating the "Leaf Angle Distribution". It is now an excellent article. I started it a few months ago but I was never fully pleased with it (and neither were others). It is quite well-done now!
