Ted Radcliffe

Thank you for your change to Ted Radcliffe. "Glib" is a better word than "funny" in this context. Please be more accurate in your edit summary, however. This was not "fix link". Edit summaries are really helpful to those of us who monitor changes so it is important that they should be accurate. Have you considered creating an account? --Theo (Talk) 11:28, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

You're welcome, and thanks for the warning. The thing that I saw in the article while I was going over it was "[segregation]]" in one paragraph, which is why I went in and changed that when the other paragraph caught my eye. My mistake.

And yes, now I've got an account.Quicksilvre

Welcome

Hi Quicksilvre: Welcome to your own identity. I moved the messages from User talk:24.194.76.27 because I just wanted to say thank you for your prompt, courteous response to my contact—especially given that I omitted the essential word "just" before "fix link". Sometimes not everything in my head makes it through my keyboard! Traditionally, Wikipedian welcomes include a whole raft of links for you to explore. I recommend Wikipedia:Simplified Ruleset and Wikipedia:Community Portal, although it seems to me that you are doing just fine as it is. --Theo (Talk) 07:26, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

All right. Thanks, Theo. --Q

RPI Wikipedia party

Hi there. I'm currently an undergraduate at RPI organizing a little Wikipedia get-together this Thursday from 2-6pm in the Nason classroom. The plan is to both introduce members of the RPI community who already contribute to Wikipedia, and also try and introduce more people to editing. If you're around you're welcome to come hang out. Check it out and let me know if you're interested. Thanks. -FrankTobia (talk) 16:31, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

No problem. I'll keep you in the loop in the future, if you're interested. -FrankTobia (talk) 22:21, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Urawa and A3

Just curious, but, where did you hear this ?? Neier (talk) 00:01, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

I heard it directly from the J. League 2008 page. There is a tiny bit of back-up here: [1] but it leads to a page in Japanese here [2] (I can't read it, and I think it could be a broken link) but I was just looking to be consistent. Since that page had gone through hundreds of revisions since it appeared, I thought it was uncontroversial. This is the original version of the J. League page with the A3 news: [3] This is the user who made the changes: [4] This person apparently had vandalized this page--but I'm reluctant to remove the A3 part from the J. League page (or the part I added to the A3 page) since there seems to be some back-up to this. However...I pay a lot more attention to German and English football than Japanese football, so please enlighten us and edit the pages if you have additional information. Quicksilvre (talk) 02:05, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

I must have missed the change to the 2008 J. League article; but, the page you linked to in Japanese basically confirms what was written about a lack of payment. I also found [5] (still in Japanese). Neither article says anything about Japan pulling out of A3 completely; but, given the attitude towards the tournament here, it wouldn't surprise me. Thanks for the response.

Orienteering

Hi. Thanks for your contribution to Orienteering, and please add a citation to a reliable source! --Una Smith (talk) 03:39, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

I actually got it from the Winter Asian Games page for 2011. When I checked the site for the Asian Olympic Council, it wasn't there [6], so I cut it from Orienteering and 2011 Winter Asian Games. Quicksilvre (talk) 16:56, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the prompt cleanup. Saves so much time! --Una Smith (talk) 20:26, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Very high frequency

I think the article does say that those who calculated signal ranges for VHF may have to rethink how they do it for digital TV. Maybe rewording would make it more accurate. There's not a final verdict. I found an article yesterday that seems to blame antenna size for the problems, but the fact is viewers are complaining. One viewer quoted in the article refused to buy a new antenna for one station, and you can see where the stations would have a problem with that. I personally quit watching one station (UHF, but it was having problems, I've been told) and told them so. I think the problem is on their end because the others are fine.Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 17:45, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

I elected to change the wording in the article to "The accuracy of these calculations for digital TV signals is up to debate." I don't know how much more that sentence ought to be tweaked; I think I'll leave that to people how know more about broadcasting. Quicksilvre (talk) 18:04, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

That sounds good. I noticed I requested a section on the digital TV problems but I feel someone with real knowledge ought to handle that. The information is here.[7]Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 18:34, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Volleyball players

I have seen that you edited some volleyball articles. Some players articles, most of them looks outdated. I would like to improve players by country. Could you please choose a country to contribute with? Please take a look on Yekaterina Gamova, Hélia Souza, Serena Ortolani and Kenia Carcaces for a model to follow. Please can you please improve some volleyball players with infobox and some addons? References are very important. Let me know. Oscar987 22:54, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
