Hi Txinviolet - just to let you know, I've moved your addition at pine to plantation, as it is much better suited to that page. It included a fair amount of info that applies to all plantations (not just pine plantations), and which wasn't already at the plantation page (tho' I did trim it a little to avoid some duplication). I also removed the age bands, as those vary so much with climate and species as to be meaningless (some tropical trees, including tropical pines, can be grown on 10-year cycles, while in colder regions, trees may need over 100 years to grow to marketable size). - MPF 23:49, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
A tag has been placed on Noel Hypothesis, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:
Copyvio - Article consists of nothing but a quote from the source, with no assertion of permission.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Kathy A. 21:52, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Orphaned non-free media (Image:SimulatedReality VoidInTheSimulation.jpg)[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:SimulatedReality VoidInTheSimulation.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 20:23, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Saw your section on latest tracer gun models and was very intrigued -- with Rayline going out of business I would love to know where you found those models, as I'm desperately seeking an alternative to the standard tracer gun. If you could email me at cyrusjl@gmail.com, I'd be extremely grateful =) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.215.206.124 (talk) 21:15, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the article - very useful and informative - especially the series of annotated pictures describing the cycle. 79.75.42.129 (talk) 09:30, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Heavens, this seems remarkably thorough! I am not an expert on the history of sewing machines, but I will certainly take a look. - PKM (talk) 23:40, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Have you nominated Vibrating shuttle for Did You Know on the home page? I'd like to see of we can get it included. - PKM (talk) 19:54, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Not yet, but that's a good idea, I hadn't thought of that. But not yet -- I am still going through reference materials to see what else can be added. Txinviolet (talk) 19:03, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
A tag has been placed on YS Star, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
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 that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Compulsive mechanical stimulation of nociceptor until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 16:35, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This term really isn't used in this context in mainstream literature. The identical wording is used in totally different contexts (different fields) to express efficiency OF reflection (when reflection is desired!) so the word as defined here should really be called "transmission efficiency." But the concept has other problems: it only is quantitatively meaningful when the transmitter has a dynamic impedance equal to that of the transmission line, and in any case it expresses EXACTLY the same information as the SWR (which is not properly dealt with in the article) which IS a very standard and concise term. Better to pay attention to the SWR article, and provide a more thoughtful discussion of impedance matching in articles that link to this term. And note that "efficiency" isn't an appropriate term since it doesn't indicate loss of power in the general case, only "reflected power" which may get reflected back to the load, etc.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Hi, please do not take offense, but be careful about introducing non-standard terminology, even if you read it in one RS or multiple sources that it might have been propagated to. Thanks, Interferometrist (talk) 13:47, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
