Oberon

I've done a ce, but there is one sentence I don't understand:

Oberon has the most heavily cratered surface of all the Uranian moons, with a crater density approaching saturation when the formation of new craters is balanced by destruction of old ones.

Is this sentence defining saturation, or saying that saturation only occurs when the formation of new craters is balanced by the destruction of old ones?

PS. Please, could you add the last two surface temps to the dwarf planet candidates section of the equilibrium list? Sorry.

Oh, and PPS. thanks for blocking that guy who vandalised my talk page. :-) Serendi^podous 19:53, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Great! That should stop me bothering you! Serendi^podous 17:40, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Are you still planning to bring this to FAC? Serendi^podous 18:14, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Trojans FAC

If you think it's ready to go, I'll go with you. I think you're a better judge of that than I am. Serendi^podous 13:01, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

OK, I'm ready. Serendi^podous 18:40, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Washington Park Subdivision

Thanks for the assistance in the clarification the legal issues in the text.

This user helped promote Washington Park Subdivision to good article status.

I hope you get a chance to drop by at Saxbe fix sometime in the next week. We could use some more eyes on this article in the last push for the main page.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 07:07, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

I will try to do something. Ruslik (talk) 07:23, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

undo edit protect for Yezidi page.

This refers to the Yezidi edit dispute and your question of what it was all about? Kindly check the links below.

yezidi request for making necessary changes and stopping vandalism by Ogress

My previous post about Mahabaleshwar

Please check Ogress talk page and Yogesh Khandke talk page too, for details of discussion and of course Yezidi talk page.

Kindly look into the matter and enable edit. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 11:34, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

You should contact protecting admin. Ruslik (talk) 16:52, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Who is the protection admin, I thought it was you or Juliancolton I now have a feeling it is Sandstein.Yogesh Khandke (talk) 06:19, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Saxbe fix

I spent a few hours digging at the University of Chicago Law School today. Please have a look at the new content that I have added. I would like to renominate the article at WP:FAC by the end of the week, but it would be best if it is clean before it gets there.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 05:30, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

I will try to do something. Ruslik (talk) 19:25, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

After another research adventure earlier today, I think this will be up at FAC with the latest changes in the next day or two. Your continued participation in its improvement would be appreciated.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 08:51, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Commentary welcome at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Saxbe fix.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 23:35, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for lending your legal mind. Feel free to chime in on the Pete Williams issue too. I don't want to get between the legal cognoscenti on the minutiae.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 19:52, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Protect on Lithuania page

Please advise a beginner editor who wanted to contribute to the Lithuania page, but is starting to consider the effort completely futile because of the bad faith (constant undos claiming to be edits, lack of any factual discussion) and discrimination having for a purpose to leave that page (currently very subjective and sweetened version of history, allergic to WWII and recent Lithuanian history) only to those with selected vision and propensity to overlook facts when they do not suit them. My resistance to undos of all my contributions (initially pure undos, latter on when I complained, disguised as (minor) edits) apparently results in semi-block (targeted against me since I am not registered)no matter that initially there was an equitable solution of a full block for 2 weeks to encourage discussion (overturned within hours). Today all of the sudden there is editing fervor unseen in the history of that page and many changes (again bad faith to justify passing from full to semi block). Also after trying to mention Lithuania's contribution to the holocaust I was even called a Nazi. Is this how the Wikipedia works and how it should work? Please let me know as I consider whether to withdraw my contributions.--85.5.94.26 (talk) 00:06, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Wessagusset Colony

Thanks for your GAC comments on Wessagusset Colony. I'm sorry that real-life has interfered and I've not completed the last of the edits that you requested. I should be able to get this done this week. Please let me know if you see any further areas that I should improve. I appreciate your help. JRP (talk) 05:28, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Second Amendment edit you reverted

Please review the discussion page for that article to confirm that the author received $400,000 from a gun control advocacy group and is thus distrubuting "bought and paid for" opinion. Check links prvided there to confirm bias.141.154.110.173 (talk) 17:14, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Magnetosphere of Jupiter

Sure. I'll be doing some research for it as well, thoguh I'll have to wait until the libraries open on monday. Serendi^podous 18:14, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

The copyedit is going to take some time. I think I'll start tomorrow, if that's OK. Serendi^podous 19:33, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

a few questions

The magnetic field within it remains approximately dipole, because contributions from the currents flowing in the magentospheric plasma are small.

What are these currents, and why do they disrupt the dipole?

These are various currents including ring current, field aligned currents, tail currents, magnetopause currents and others. I will write about them in more detail in the dynamics section. Ruslik (talk) 16:46, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

a thick and cold plasma torus (temperature is 10–100 ev or 100,000–1,000,000 K)

I may not be fully up on my high-energy physics, but I've never heard one million kelvins described as "cold"!

The hot plasma in the magnetosphere has temperature more than 10 Kev (or 100 million Kelvins). So 10-100 Ev is a cold plasma. Another way to look at this temperatures is to compare them with the co-rotational energy. Near the orbit of Io the co-rotational velocity is 74 km/s. An oxygen ion (O⁺) moving with such a speed will have kinetic energy of about 500 Ev. So 10-100 Ev is again a cold plasma. Ruslik (talk) 16:46, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

A reference to the plasma temperature within Jupiter's magnetosphere should be made earlier in the article, to place that other temperature into context. Serendi^podous 16:58, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

If I'm reading you right, the northern lobe of the magnetotail flows towards the planet, the southern lobe flows away, correct?

I actually meant that in the northern lobe the magnetic field points away from the planet, and in the southern lobe the field points towards the planet. The magnetic field does not really flow. Ruslik (talk) 16:46, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

The plasma in the torus is not ideal and slowly leaks away from Jupiter.

Ideal in what sense?

The plasma is ideal if its electrical conductivity is infinite. The real plasma's conductivity is always finite, but very high. Ruslik (talk) 16:46, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

When you say the amin forms of escape are diffusion and inercharge instability, are you defining those terms in the next sentence?

Not really. However I admit they will need a definition. Ruslik (talk) 16:46, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

I get that "planetary wind" is an analog to "solar wind" but it probably needs to be changed, since planets already have atmosperic winds.

Planetary wind is an escape of plasma along open magnetic field lines. In this sense it is analogous to the Solar wind. This term is often used to describe the losses from magnetospheres including Earth magnetosphere. Ruslik (talk) 16:46, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Sandy has (sort of per my request) restarted the FAC to save space. I think that we've resolved the last of the comments, so Buena suerte to us. Ceranthor 21:49, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Legends of the Mafia

I reckoned as an on-line game it counted as "web content" for {{db-web}}; it's also borderline spam as the author is the game's developer. As not-yet-released, it's certainly not notable: I'll go for a PROD, and probably on to AfD. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 19:34, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

PROD is the best way in this case. Ruslik (talk) 20:06, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
