NASA stuff

I'd be willing to scan just about all of the NASA stuff if it's really only 500 pages or so. Do you want me to send it back when I am done? I was thinking some of the documents might be better OCR'd and converted to wikitext articles, if they are predominantly textual. My scanner can scan up to legal size. For anything larger, I have a hand scanner that scans a path 4 inches wide, can stitch those scans together for larger images. please delete my email address when you are done with it.

pages are in the mail you should recieve them soon. Alkivar 04:18, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

The package of NASA material has arrived. It appears to have survived the trip well. I haven't opened it yet, will try to start tonight.Pedant 22:34, 2004 Oct 26 (UTC)

I'm stuck for a bit on scanning, the computer the scanner is connected to has had the RAM removed, I'm waiting to get it back from Kingston. They received it on the 22nd of November, so I expect it back in a matter of days. Pedant 07:23, 2004 Nov 29 (UTC)

OK, I have the scanner running, trying to figure out the OCR thing. I uploaded this one file for test purposes. I'd like to convert this kind of thing to wikitext rather than keep them as jpgs, cause they get pretty big. If you know of any resources to help me figure out optical character recognition, I'd be grateful. Pedant 22:12, 2004 Dec 29 (UTC)

all right, I have worked a bit at it,and looks like I'm started. The front page for the archive, at present is at this page on wikisource Pedant 06:55, 2004 Dec 30 (UTC)

EXCELLENT! Alkivar 01:24, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

You been doing any more with those NASA Facts papers? Sorta curious as I havent heard anything in a while. ALKIVAR™ 01:02, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

yes, I have taken a break on that, I'm working on getting a faster scanner, but I will definitely follow through on the whole pile. I'm really busy these days so faster is really gooder... gotta run, let me know when you get back from your break. Pedant 02:18, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

A quick note to say thanks

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you for your support in my request for adminship. It was certainly a wild ride, and I really appreciate you taking some time out to contribute. ClockworkSoul 16:26, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your work on the Jew template

I know it's a bit frustrating now, but in the end I think it's going to be vastly improved, and most of the credit goes to you. Jayjg | (Talk) 02:54, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Nice work, and thanks

I just wanted to thank you for coming up with the idea for the The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar, which evolved into the finest (and in my opinion highest) award that we have here at the 'pedia.

Oh, and by the way (for what it's worth) I like your orange sig and the associate image. It adds a bit of flavor to sometimes bland pages. – ClockworkSoul 14:07, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Defender of the Wiki Barnstar citation

Kudos on inventing the Defender of the Wiki Barnstar. Since I think defense of Misplaced Pages is extremely important, I've edited the DOTWB page to include their citations and supporting evidence. In fact, the only award I can't find supporting evidence for is... um... yours. Could you link it in when you get the chance? Thanks! Alba 00:45, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I dont have one... I never self award. :)  ALKIVAR™ 01:07, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Steve Dalkowski

Thank you for your FAC support and for updating the table, looks good! Is it Hardcore dance music you're into or that horrible Hardcore Rap stuff they play on MTV? There's very, VERY few of us hardcore dance music fans in the US :) Zerbey 18:39, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Colditz Castle

Impressive work on the Colditz Castle. I enjoyed reading the article. StRay 20:39, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Your quite welcome :)  ALKIVAR™ 20:41, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Signature

Thanks for voting in my RfA - but please don't use images in signatures! They are unnecessary server load. See ]. r3m0t June 30, 2005 20:28 (UTC) (reply here)

What are the size restrictions for signatures, anyhow? I've been considering using one myself. —RaD Man (talk) 1 July 2005 01:20 (UTC)

For the record i've had this conversation with the dev's ... the image is on commons, not on the en server. The server load is therefore negligible. Or at least thats the conclusion we came to. As for the other reasons listed, it neither interferes with line height nor blinks... I think you worry too much :)  ALKIVAR™ 1 July 2005 06:45 (UTC)

Well, I trust the devs. OK then. r3m0t July 1, 2005 07:07 (UTC)

Van Impe

Your addition of audio to the Jack Van Impe article rocks my world. - Jersyko talk 03:04, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Ton of edits

then perhaps you can explain me what's wrong with the tonsofedit template, look at User:Drini and see that the new version uses double vertical space as it is supposed to do -- ( drini's _vandalproof page ☎ ) 01:07, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

You have been nominated

You have made a positive impact on Misplaced Pages, and I firmly believe sysop privileges would only enhance your contribution abilities. If you do not mind, I have taken it upon myself to nominate you for adminship on this hallowed occassion. Please see Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_adminship/nominate#What_to_do_if_you_are_nominated: should you wish to accept, as there have been some changes to the RFA process as of late. Best regards, Hall Monitor 22:42, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Nice work!

Hey, dude. Just wanted to say that I really enjoyed reading Don't Copy That Floppy. Nice job, and keep up the good work!--Sean|Black 04:46, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
