Welcome!

Hello LouScheffer, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!

Thank you for your care in using an edit summary when contributing. Thanks for the new section in binomial theorem. Cheers, Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 01:29, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Zinc Oxide and You

First of all, please sign your posts with ~~~~. About the article, since it's merely a section of a movie, its proper place, if it belongs anywhere, is on the page of that movie, Kentucky Fried Movie. --InShaneee 06:02, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Let's keep this civil, I have nothing against you personally. Also, you CAN redirect to a specific point on a page. Here's the format: [[Blah#Specific Blah]], where Blah is the article name, and Specific Blah is the specific section header. That help any? --InShaneee 06:38, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Bizzare...that page must be outdated, because I use that type of redirect all the time. I'll have to look into getting that info changed. In the meantime, go ahead and merge the info and try out the redirect to the anchor for yourself! --InShaneee 07:08, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - The 'allies' section of Teen Titans (animated series) is where I first encountered them. It appears to work for a section titled like this: ===Blah===, so try using three "="'s when you create your new subsection, that should work. --InShaneee 07:36, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    - No, unfortunatly, it appears you were right. I was thinking of the wrong thing, my bad. Still, the merge/redirect seems to solve the problem. Since "Zinc Oxide and You" is the name of a segment within Kentucky Fried Movie, I see two possibilities. One, someone is looking for more info about KFM, which this takes them to. Two, people are looking for that specific segment in that movie, which is not only on that page, but the information about the rest of the movie may be of interest to the user as well. This is typically the policy, anyway, as once someone started creating articles about individual chapters of "Great Expectations", and the verdict on that was to merge them into the article about the book as a whole. --InShaneee 05:20, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

TOCRight

The reason I removed the TOCRight was that a while back it was up for deletion under the rationale that, if TOCRight is going to be used to remove whitespace in an article, then what's stopping us from using it in every article, or just making it the default altogether? In the end, the consensus was that it was only really appropriate for pages like this. And as for most users not scrolling down and only seeing the top of the page, well, that's why articles need good introductory paragraphs :) QVanillaQ 15:21, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent editing! Rklawton 19:51, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Spacecraft propulsion

Spacecraft propulsion is up for a featured article review, and I noticed your name often in the edit history. Detailed concerns about the article may be found here. Please leave your comments if you're able to help us maintain this article's featured quality. Sandy 03:41, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Academics at Caltech

That last edit of yours after mine works. My reason for adding-in the Art Center bit in the first place was personal. I added Scripps afterward just to make Tech look better. I later regretted starting this war. Thanks for ending it.

By the way, I tried InShanee's way of linking to a header on a page, and it works, but it's ugly. Any way to hide the "#"? Grammarmonger_TALK 17:36, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, Lou, I was referring to the "#" symbol, which directs the browser to the specific article header. Grammarmonger 18:26, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I thought I did this. Look at the heading above - it says Academics at Caltech, but goes to the right spot in the article. I thought this is what you wanted - the # is no longer visible to the reader, though it is to the editor. LouScheffer 18:32, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that's the ticket. I see it now. Thanks! Grammarmonger 18:55, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that the image is creative commons. The website requires explicit written permission to be reused. Do you have a copy of that to link to from the image page? mi km 14:37, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Prof. Davidson gave explicit written permission. Here is the email trail I have for this:

Thanks! I've included it on the page,

From: Louis Scheffer [2] Sent: Tuesday, January 03, 2006 6:58 PM To: davidson@magnet.fsu.edu Subject: Can I use a picture of your on Wikipedia?

Hi, Prof. Davidson!

I made a Wikipedia page for silicon art. It refers, of course, to your web site for examples.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chip_art

I'd like to have an example for the page, and was wondering if I could I use one of your pictures? I was thinking of the picture on

http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/creatures/pages/buffalochips.html

because, as an original author, I can get the permissions for the design itself, so all I'd need is permission to use your picture of it.

Can I get this permission? I'd be more than happy to credit you, and your web site, which I think is great.

Thanks, Lou Scheffer

Notability of ECAD, Inc.

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on ECAD, Inc., by Witchinghour, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because ECAD, Inc. seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting ECAD, Inc., please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate ECAD, Inc. itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 11:46, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
