Missing article

I have corrected the link in the discussion of fibre to the x, if you don't want to register, look it up in the Google cache as suggested. --Cgbraschi 09:39, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Got your message

Just got your message about passivity on my talk page (I use many IPs, so it took a while before I saw it). I had posted an apology on the talk page of passive component a while ago. You're right that the comments were inappropriate.

On a related/unrelated note, I would propose that we consolidate passive component and active component into a single page called "passivity" with redirects from both. Active component simply means "not passive" and replicating content between both seems like a lot of unnecessary and error-prone work. I'm not actually sure about how to go about doing that (either technically or politically). 128.30.16.209 20:12, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Chemical Sensitivity redirect

Hi, I was thinking of changing chemical sensitivity so that it redirects to multiple chemical sensitivity instead of to food intolerance. However, I noticed that you reverted the last attempt to do that. I submit two pieces of evidence that "chemical sensitivity" may be in fact be more related to multiple chemical sensitivity than to food intolerance: 1) The Chemical Sensitivity Foundation exists to educate people about multiple chemical sensitivity, 2) Chemical Sensitivity By William J. Rea seems to be referring to multiple chemical sensitivity (see his defintion of "chemical sensitivity" on page 7).

I can think of three ways to proceed: 1) I could turn the chemical sensitivity page into a disambiguation page so that it can lead to both multiple chemical sensitivity and to food intolerance. 2) I could have the chemical sensitivity page redirect only to multiple chemical sensitivity. 3) I could start a discussion about this in the talk page for chemical sensitivity (but who's going to think to look for it if it's in a redirected page?)

Please respond below so we can keep the thread together. Thanks, Riick (talk) 20:43, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was one of several POVed edits of a specific used I was reverting... I don't know much about the subject myself. It was during vandal-fighting that it was reverted. You bring up some valid points, though, so I think number 1 is probably the best way to go. If you get reverted, don't revert back, but discuss -- see WP:BRD.

I'm not currently involved all that much in wikipedia anymore... schoolwork has sort of worn away the habit. So if a discussion does get started, don't expect to hear much from me -- I'm not really around anymore. But it sounds to me like what you propose for number 1 should not be opposed anyways; it's a valid proposal. Go ahead and do it. Gscshoyru (talk) 22:05, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
