== Thank you for your comments at [[Talk:DHARMA Initiative stations]] ==

I just read through your comments, and think you make some good points. However, a bit of additional background on the issue might help. This article was split off from [[DHARMA Initiative]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_DHARMA_Initiative&diff=51707379&oldid=51704565], when the section had become longer and longer, as per [[Wikipedia:Summary_style]] and [[Wikipedia:How to break up a page]]. The extended "purposes" subsection was inserted in the original article, which I removed as Original Research and so noted on that [[Talk:The_DHARMA_Initiative#Purpose_of_the_station_.28was:_removed_speculation.29|talk page]]. Therein, I gave specific reasons for its removal. To be conciliatory, I condensed the extended "he said, she said" version into a more paragraphic form, while keeping nearly all the non-speculative content. Even still, it would be Original Research to make a claim that X character has Y theory, when we can't actually know what a fictional character "believes"; creating sub-sections of character "X's view" and "Y's view" is not only unnecessary, but particularly for a television series like ''Lost'' where such characters (and their supposed views) change as needed to progress the plot, it would fail the [[Wikipedia:Avoid statements that will date quickly]] guideline.

Finally, I have chosen to cut back my interaction with users such as this recent editor, who has a history of antagonism and incivility towards both myself and other editors. The issue isn't a failure to [[WP:AGF|assume good faith]] but a matter of finding his comments to be particularly un-constructive and argumentative in extensive previous discussions. See, for example: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:ArgentiumOutlaw&diff=prev&oldid=47678160 his talk page deletion of comments] from another editor; and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Episodes_of_Lost_%28season_2%29&diff=prev&oldid=47168194 his response to me] (with uncivil edit summary: "Take that") to a similar recent and unnecessarily heated discussion. Thanks again, —<font face="Verdana,San-Serif" size="-2"><strong>[[User:Leflyman|Leflyman]]<sup>[[User talk:Leflyman|Talk]]</sup></strong></font> 18:51, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

== Verity of NDEs ==

Your interest is greatly appreciated, and I will leave a message at your talk page when the article is complete and online. It currently undergoing major additions to some of the original paragraphs (though I never posted them in the original state), and will be up and online within a few weeks. I'll give a deadline of [[31 May]] [[2006]]&mdash; if they're not on by then contact me. Thanks again for your interest ... I see that you're [[agnostic]]/an [[atheist]] (so was I), and I believe these theories and other websites may influence you otherwise. For now, I reccommend you visit [http://www.near-death.com Near-Death.com] for further information.

== WikiProject query ==

Hi, just wanted to run something by you as I noticed you are the creator of WikiProject Musicians. Do you think there would be any interest or need for creating a WikiProject Guitarists? I imagine something focused on cataloging all notable guitarists with their own articles, including things like:
* Equipment used
* Techniques and innovations noted
* Tunings used
* Roles in various musical groups
* Endorsements
What do you think? <font color="3300FF">[[User:Aguerriero|Aguerriero]] ([[User_talk:Aguerriero|talk]])</font> 14:15, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

== [[List of Righteous Babe Artists]] ==
Hi, I have proposed for deletion a list that you have created. I did this because I felt that it duplicates the [[:Category:Righteous Babe Artists]] also created by you (I think). I thought I'd let you know in case you felt the need to dispute this. -[[User:MrFizyx|MrFizyx]] 21:19, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

== WikiProject Musicians ==

Hi, I wasn't sure if you noticed but I did a lot of work on [[Al Jourgensen]] and added him to the project page as a recent article. I was thinking maybe existing project members could look at this article and use it as a guinea pig to think about standard elements to include in musician articles. <font color="3300FF">[[User:Aguerriero|Aguerriero]] ([[User_talk:Aguerriero|talk]])</font> 12:33, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

== WikiProject Guitarists ==

Hello, just dropping you a note to invite you to check out the new [[WP:GUITAR|WikiProject Guitarists]] page. It is in its first iteration, and has not yet been listed as an official project. Looking for feedback on anything you care to comment on. I hope you will become one of the first participants! --<font color="3300FF">[[User:Aguerriero|Aguerriero]] ([[User_talk:Aguerriero|talk]])</font> 20:56, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

== High impedance ==

Hey,

I just wanted to let you know that, although i was wrong about what high impedance is - its not a signal. High impedance is not a voltage. Its just a wire that does not have power conected to it - (the resistance to the net of wire "holding" a high impedance is too high to let through voltage or current from the circuit). I'm going to correct it at [[high impedance]]. [[User:Fresheneesz|Fresheneesz]] 07:01, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

==Looking for members to help out with [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Boston|Project Boston]]==

In Ebers-Moll_Model_NPN.PNG and Ebers-Moll_Model_PNP.PNG images, the current in collector is I<sub>C</sub> and the current through the collector diode should be '''I<sub>CD</sub>'''. Rest is OK.

== Singers by style ==

Hi, on [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Musicians/Categorization]], of which you were (once upon a time) the principle author, it says that categories for singers should use "by style" instead of "by genre" like all other types of musicians. Was this simply because those categories already existed? Or was there some deeper reason? Because it's been suggested that the categories be renamed and the guideline changed. Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer. [[User:Xtifr|Xtifr]] <sub>[[User talk:Xtifr|tälk]]</sub> 07:18, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:Such-A-Punch Media]]==
[[Image:Ambox warning_pn.svg|48px|left]] A tag has been placed on [[:Such-A-Punch Media]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#A7|section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], such articles may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]], as well as our subject-specific [[Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)|notability guideline for organizations and companies]]. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the [[Wikipedia:Article wizard2.0|Article Wizard]].

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to '''the top of [[:Such-A-Punch Media|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 '''[[Talk:Such-A-Punch Media|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 [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles|one of these admins]] to request that they [[Wikipedia:Userfication#Userfication_of_deleted_content|userfy]] the page or have a copy emailed to you. <!-- Template:Db-inc-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Codf1977|Codf1977]] ([[User talk:Codf1977|talk]]) 16:38, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
