Superresolution

Hello,

I commented on the article for Superresolution, with the comment that the image added to the article is not actually super-resolution in its true sense. If the LR/RL algorithm has been employed, then perhaps, however owing to the company's very terse website, it is hard to find out what the difference between the two pictures actually are. I ask for your input as I noticed you were in the history for the article. Thanks User A1 07:46, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't know.  :-) Responded there. — Omegatron 22:55, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Al Gore controversies→Al Gore?

Are you the person who is suggesting this merger? If so, where is it being discussed? Tvoz |talk 03:41, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes. POV forks are prohibited. Discussion goes on Talk:Al Gore, as both templates link to. — Omegatron 15:06, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

You have been quoted

Here. A.Z. 05:54, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

:-)

That idea also kind of ties into the whole attempt at changing the tagline, which Jimbo even supported at one time, but fizzled out. — Omegatron 13:03, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

pngfix.js

In response to your comment at Template talk:Merge#The SVG, I started the thread Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#JavaScript PNG transparency fix. I've tested this script in my user space and it appears to work flawlessly. Your comments would be welcome. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 02:44, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

POV edits at BJT

Hey, please take a look at the edits and manner of User:Kevin_aylward on the main article and talk page of Bipolar_junction_transistor. I've reverted and warned him once on the article talk page and on his talk page. Thanks. Alfred Centauri 15:46, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh dear. Didn't Light Current already do this once? — Omegatron 16:24, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes. I feel bad that LC has been permabanned. He was sometimes frustrating as can be but, I never failed to teach myself something while 'debating' with him. BTW, thanks for you wise words over at the BJT article. I've just added some reference material on the talk page that should be enough to convince Kevin that his edits are POV. We'll see... Alfred Centauri 00:35, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Agreed about LC. — Omegatron 00:45, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

We may need a protect on the BJT article as Kevin insists in adding POV edits even though consensus has yet to be reached on the talk page. Also, Kevin insists on editing my talk page comments by adding comments in-line making un-clear who has said what. I've removed his in-line comments and warned in the edit summary about vandalism. Any suggestions? Alfred Centauri 12:52, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Cite journal link archive expansion

Sorry to add to your wikistress, but since you apparently have both the rights and ability to work on {{cite journal}}, I'd like to ask you to consider the argument I made (in responding to your question of why we would need "archiveurl" and "archivedate" for this template) at Template talk:Cite journal#template expansion needed, and advise me how I might fast-track this feature. (I took a look at {{cite web}}'s use, and it had enough syntactic pecularities around its archive components that I'm not sure I can, on my own, readily produce and test an update to recommend for approval. If necessary, though, I'll give it a shot.) Thank you for any help you can provide. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:42, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Haha. That's not wikistress; just normal editing.  :-) — Omegatron 02:16, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

ISBN and {{cite encyclopedia}}

Is there a particular reason why the isbn parameter was never implemented for this template? Circeus 19:33, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Not that I know of. — Omegatron 01:40, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

opinion?

Can you take a look at Phase fired controllers and tell me if you think it is ready to have the cleanup tag removed? I need a second opinion. Thnak you. RJFJR 14:54, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Just an FYI regarding graphic images

You stated, "the pictures that we do have try to be informative without being graphic". Please take a look at the following: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. These are just a few medical ariticles that I found in a very quick search.

I agree that images should not be included merely to shock, but sometimes the truth is shocking and can be communicted only with images (even in Wikipedia): [7]LCP 16:27, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
