Constriction has been fixed, and in the discussion page I've responded to your concerns on asphyxia vs cardiac arrest, along with titles of scientific papers on the topic. I can forward the PDF of one of those papers if you want, the other (Hardy, 1994) I can't get ahold of online. Mokele 17:03, 30 August 2007

Thank you Peter for redirecting the page that contained unverifiable content about J. Kevin Barlow. It appears a former disgruntled employee who was terminated for theft has opted to use a valuable service such as Wikipedia for waging a vendetta. There is no evidence or validity to the statement made on the page you saw. Thank you, D-Advocate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by D-Advocate (talk • contribs) 13:13, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: No meteors in ISS video clip Aurora_Australis_2.ogv

Hi Peter b, Yes you are right. I am sure the original explanation on the source page attributed the lights to meteors but it seems the description has been changed and they are now attributed to satellites. Originalwana (talk) 12:09, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Reorganization of Meteoroid proposed

Hi Peter B., I believe that the meteoroid article is currently poorly structured. I have proposed a re-organization at Talk:Meteoroid#Re-organization needed. Perhaps you could look over my proposal at User:HopsonRoad/sandbox and make a recommendation. Sincerely, User:HopsonRoad 02:02, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your kind remarks on my proposal at my Sandbox, Peter. I have already moved the article across, so you can work on it directly! Cheers, User:HopsonRoad 13:35, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to pseudoscience and fringe science, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
