there was a footnote that was not used in Coccolithovirus, you might want to check that out. Also see WP:FOOTNOTES for a way to easily avoid such problems in the future. Regards. Circeus 15:59, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
- Please don't randomly alter citation styles if you aren't going to actually work on the article, some people prefer a maintainable system. Thanks :) - FrancisTyers 22:34, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Circeus thanks for the heads up I've moved the extra citation, hopefully I'll get some more content soon to use it ;) MattOates 22:50, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
DYK Coccolithovirus
[edit]

On June 1, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Coccolithovirus, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page. |
Nice article! --Spangineer[es] (háblame) 22:12, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Please read and respond to my comments there, thanks. By the way, your user page is effectively illegible in my browser (Safari), the columns overlap completely. —johndburger 19:47, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
- I haven't got a Mac but if you're interested in fixing it I won't stop you ;) It looks fine under IE and Firefox, so I'm assuming it’s a floating bug with Safari. I can't really be bothered to spend much time worrying about ~3% of web users :P
- More like it's a resolution problem lame :<
Evolution strategy
[edit]Hello, friend.
Please, see the evolution strategy article. I put there some arguments to change the text you wrote. But I would like that you read the discussion page before.
See you! :)

[edit]fixed a bunch of other stuff with the related pages.
i think there's more to do with the other pages and maybe 3 pages to get rid of. what do you think?Wikiskimmer 06:01, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Artificial life
[edit]I understand your point of view. However, Alife is a little unique among the "sciences" in that it's less a field of knowledge and more a field of techniques. These techniques can be applied to scientific ends, but they are also applied towards artistic ends. In this regard it's rather unique. It'd be like if crosshatching could also be used as a method of gathering data in science. Or if Stoichiometry equations could be considered art. To be honest, I find the wording in that first section awkward. Maybe Alife isn't a field of study or an art form, maybe it's a technique. Or just a method of simulation. I'm not sure. It's rather difficult to define exactly what Alife is. Everyone seems to have a slightly different definition. Alife is alot like what it studies: there's so many different approaches. It's all so emergent. --Numsgil 12:37, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Berkeley Algorithm, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. brewcrewer (yada, yada) 21:37, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- How about you give the lad a chance to flesh out the template!!! MattOates (Ulti) (talk) 21:40, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Integrated banner for WikiProject Computer science
[edit]I have made a proposal for a integrated banner for the project here . I invite you for your valuable comments in the discussion. You are receiving this note as you are a member of the project. Thanks -- Tinu Cherian - 13:46, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
Slime Molds
[edit]I removed the sentence for there are just too many people on Wikipedia willing to compromise its integrity. I saw your citation I am surprised to read such a thing exists. However I still find such a thing highly unlikely, but at least you have a source. I just though of slime molds as being small things, I to my knowledge have no remembrance of a large blob anywhere. But you seem to have it under control. Thanks for adding a source at least its more reliable now, Good luck. --Zaharous (talk) 00:56, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
Howdy - I've removed the link you added from an encyclopedia article to a user page. User pages are 'internal' to wikipedia; links to them don't make sense on mirror websites. - TB (talk) 11:04, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
The article IDsec is being discussed concerning whether it is suitable for inclusion as an article according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/IDsec until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Nageh (talk) 11:19, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
