Thanks - Astronomical thought for the day
I'm going to quote this from Talk:Solar_radiation and use it in my physics class today:
“Astronomical numbers are so mind-boggling, it's hard to imagine how any human can handle them. Manipulate, yes—but truly grasp? And yet, as far as we know, human consciousness is the best resource the universe has for being aware of itself!” Hertz1888 04:31, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
By the way, I happened upon your comment after reading up on Ackermann’s function and Graham’s number, so pure math had me primed for this sentiment.

RFC at my talk page
In an effort to create a navbox for urban parkways in the Boston metro area, I have come to the realization that what is really needed is something that ties together the entire system first envisioned by Charles Eliot in the late nineteenth century. I feel that this should be a cooperative effort, probably created as a subproject of WP:MASS. However, initially I am seeking comments and/or assistance from several editors that have contributed in various ways to elements of the scope of such a project. This note is being posted to the user pages of Beland, CaribDigita, Denimadept, EraserGirl, Grk1011, Hertz1888, Jameslwoodward, Markles, NE2, Polaron and Swampyank. I apologize in advance to anyone who wishes to comment that I have left off of the list of users, as I may have unintentionally forgotten them and others. Please feel free to comment on my talk page under the heading I have created, linked here. Thanks – Sswonk (talk) 05:55, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
Bedford Falls
Hello. I'm curious. Why did you remove "New York" from the location of the fictional town of Bedford Falls in the film, It's a Wonderful Life?
Thanks in advance for your response. MCB, Jan. 1, 2010, 3:32 MST. 67.173.237.220 (talk) 22:33, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
- Perhaps a better question would be, on what basis did you add "N.Y."? Though it is said that the film "hints" at Bedford Hills being in N.Y. State, and there are many similarities between it and Seneca Falls, New York, it appears not to specify a state. If you have information to the contrary that can be reliably sourced (which I believe unlikely), it can be added. If a specific state were explicitly named in the film, I think that would have come to light by now, and to the best of my knowledge, it hasn't. Best wishes, Hertz1888 (talk) 05:51, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
- Hertz, I saw the film last week, and one of the legal documents that was shown in the film listed the town as "Bedford Falls, New York." I forgot which document or which scene it was in. (It might have been Mr. McGowan's telegraph or some paperwork the bank examiner had. I don't remember.) I'll watch the DVD again and let you know where it appears, but I won't be able to get to it for another week or so. After I re-watch it, I'll post a note here telling you where in the film that document is. And then you can watch that scene yourself and decide if that is sufficient evidence to include it in the article. Thanks, again, MCB Jan. 3, 2010, 10:36 MST. 67.173.237.220 (talk) 05:39, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
- I hope that you will take a look at the wikibias website.RockvilleMD (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:22, 5 October 2010 (UTC).

nsaum75¡שיחת! has given you a falafel sandwich! Falafel sandwiches are a specialty of the Middle East. With a little tahini and maybe a spicy sauce, they are delicious and promote WikiLove. Hopefully, this one has added flavor to your day.
Spread the goodness of falafel by adding {{subst:Falafel}} to someone's Talk page with a friendly message! Give a falafel sandwich to someone you've had disagreements with in the past, or to a good friend.
- Thanks! It has indeed added flavor. Yum! "Eat hummus. Give chick peas a chance." (author unknown). Hertz1888 (talk) 21:26, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

- Ain davar. I can't thank you enough for what you set in motion.
- The template, it turns out, is not completely automatic, but if you update the edit count manually at various milestones, the display should update accordingly. You're due for an upgrade soon. Hertz1888 (talk) 01:31, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

I award you this Copy Editor's Barnstar for insisting on clear, comprehensible, and grammatically correct articles. NickCT (talk) 13:22, 16 May 2010 (UTC) |
- For fixing unforgivably bad wikipedia editting. NickCT (talk) 13:22, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
- Happy to be of service, free of charge, but many thanks for the Barnstar—my first. Very thoughtful of you. "Unforgivably" is far too strong a term, but I suppose you are being hyperbolic. All the best, Hertz1888 (talk) 20:32, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

תיקון עולם
Peace is nothing more than a lull in a battle; a time during which each side steps back in order to tend their wounds and refine their fighting techniques. Sadly, the best we can hope for in olam ha'zeh is a momentary stalemate. However we must never forget tikkun olam. For our reality is nothing but a boat adrift on water, balanced by permanent uncertainty... --nsaum75¡שיחת! 05:14, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
- The one sided nature of things here gets really old. Its sad to watch. Transgressions should be punished, but equally so. --nsaum75¡שיחת! 05:17, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Planetary tides
This idea is often brought up, for the simple reason that the beat frequency of the Jupiter and Saturn orbits more or less matches the length of the solar cycle. However when analyzed in detail, and there is literature beyond what's in New Scientist, the tidal forces have been shown to be utterly negligible relative to the body forces in the convection zone that drive the dynamo and hence make sunspots. I couldn't read the New Scientist article on line, but I did check out the other reference and found it to be based on an obviously flawed report that never got published. Hugh Hudson (talk) 20:12, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
- Clearly much more to this than I ever imagined. I respect your analysis. Thanks for sharing it with me. Hertz1888 (talk) 21:02, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
My edit at North–South Rail Link
You seem to have mis-understood what I wrote at North–South Rail Link. I was saying that to go from bus/train lines that arive at Boston from South Station, to destinations along the Fitchburg Line (such as Waltham), you can bypass the need to transfer on the subway by picking up the Fitchburg Line at Porter. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 05:22, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
- As the context is that of getting between the stations (or to one of them from the other's lines), and you did not mention either of them, the parallel was hard to see. I have reworded in a way I think will make the parallel more clear, and in accord with your intentions. Hertz1888 (talk) 08:00, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 20:47, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
A cookie for you!
Hello Hertz1888! I hope you enjoy this cookie as an amicable greeting from a fellow Wikipedian, SwisterTwister talk 01:30, 17 October 2011 (UTC) |

Season's tidings!
Input request
An edit you made 1 is being discussed and I would welcome the input of an experienced editor on this Talk page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Israeli%E2%80%93Palestinian_conflict AnkhMorpork (talk) 19:23, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you for the invitation. I hope to find time soon to properly study the ongoing discussion and take part, but am unable to do so immediately. Per a quick perusal, you seem to be holding your own there quite competently. Hertz1888 (talk) 01:02, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
Neutrality Award
You have amended some of my edits but have agreed with others. It is reassuring that truly neutral editors exist. Best Wishes AnkhMorpork (talk) 00:26, 12 February 2012 (UTC) |
- Thank you for the coffee and your kind words, as well as for the previous invitation. I would like to say something helpful on the article's talk page, but am finding it difficult to find a point of focus. The discussion has drifted and evolved and become quite elaborate. I think you are handling your part well, and I am glad to see the section in question has been clarified and expanded without eliminating reliably-sourced material simply because it is seen as being too favorable or unfavorable to one party or another. Best wishes to you. Hertz1888 (talk) 02:34, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
Can you check out my recent expansion of the Present Status paragraph [1] and advise me whether it adheres to WP:NPOV?
Best Wishes
AnkhMorpork (talk) 16:03, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
Despite your amendments, NightW has expressed a desire to revert the entirety of my work. <1> Please advise.
Best Wishes AnkhMorpork (talk) 18:57, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
- I don't see a consensus for mass reversion, and the 1RR precludes a repeat performance today, at least. I have left general comments on the Talk page. Hertz1888 (talk) 19:36, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

1 RR...
You warned me and reverted one of my edit recently for a 1RR that was concerning what proved 5 days later to be a NoCal100 which everybody had guessed but could not prove. That upset me but that's the rule. Would you agree to revert this 1RR even more given what this 'contributor' wants to insert is simply false. 81.247.83.224 (talk) 06:37, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
- Much as I would like to help, I am not familiar with the article in question, and am not seeing the violation you refer to. I don't recall interacting with you previously and see no record of such a warning; were you using a different account or IP address? Also, what is a NoCal100? Hertz1888 (talk) 16:15, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
- Here is what I refer to :
- your action was to revert me who was reinserting material.
- You told me that what I did was in contradiciton with 1RR.
- I would appreciate that you do the same here given I cannot do this myself.
- 81.247.97.117 (talk) 16:44, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
- Sorry, I can't do that. I would be contradicting the text, which says that the Lebanese army was involved. I prefer not to participate further in this matter. If you object to the content, you can bring it up on the article's talk page. Hertz1888 (talk) 17:11, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
- When you reverted me in the History of Israel article, that was a 100% similar situation.
- So I conclude that at the time, there was no 1RR from my side and you made a mistake.
- By the way, maybe you should revert Frederico1234 here then.
- And I don't think that the article say the contrary. Where ? It is written : "Over the next few days, Arab contingents from Egypt, Jordan, Irak and Syria intervened in Palestine and fought the Israelis. They were suported by corps of volunteers from Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and Yemen." 81.247.97.117 (talk) 17:16, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
