Continuous spectrum

Thanks for your explanation of why you put continuous spectrum in category:scattering. I wouldn't mind if you do so again, but of course I'd prefer you to add a bit to the article in continuous spectrum on how it is connected to scattering. I trust anybody who has read Reed and Simon: I haven't come further than Chapter 6 or so in the first volume, and I am still confused by all the different kinds of spectra: (absolutely) continuous, essential, etc. Also many thanks for creating an account. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 8 July 2005 15:36 (UTC)

Conical intersection

Hello there! I noticed that you created this article on Conical intersections here. Do you have a reference regarding the stability of DNA with respect to UV irradiation? I would like to read up on this more and learn about this. May I ask if you are a specialist in theoretical chemistry? --HappyCamper 06:07, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Orbitals and redirects

Hi,
I think it's bad style and a bit of a shock to the reader to redirect from a very specific disambig (electron orbital) to a very general disambig (orbital). I've reinstated it, in a trimmed-down form. --Smack (talk) 15:46, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Template: History of the Low Countries

It appears you are the person who created this, and I just wanted to say that the chart is excellent and a very helpful and concise way for a reader like me to understand at a glance all of the changes that took places involving the various components. Thumbs up!--StanZegel 23:26, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Review MOND

I've carried out the requested tasks on MOND. Please review and comment/vote at Misplaced Pages:Featured_article_candidates/Modified_Newtonian_dynamics. Thank you for your kind cooperation. Loom91 17:37, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

Eigenvalues

Actually, I've just tweaked the article. I will read it through and think about it; but I think the important thing is not FAC - it is making sure the article is largely intelligible to the average reader who comes to it not knowing what an eigenvalue is. (It is irrational, I know; but you will get more respect in general, and I think at FAC, if you create your user-page.) Septentrionalis 16:49, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Well, I think I will bow out. If you don't like (there are other examples}, which was a careful attempt to guard against the common error that there is only one eigenvector to a rotation, you probably won't like any other edit of mine. This will probably help you with FAC; they like bad writing as much as they like pretty pictures. They also like an evident PoV; but I hope you won't go that far.

Belgium

The article has some style related problems and image copyrights to be sorted out. I'll review on Saturday as I will be busy tomorrow. User:Nichalp/sg 17:10, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

I'll review tomorrow, and if you reply to that, let me know, I'll review over the weekend then. I'll need the page size cut before I begin though. User:Nichalp/sg 19:30, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
I didn't get the time to review Belgium, so I'll I guess it will be over the weekend. I'm glad the page size has been reduced. User:Nichalp/sg 05:11, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

I replied on my talk page, to keep the conversation in one place. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 19:27, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

FAC: Brain

Thanks for your helpful criticism (especially pointing out tête de veau). I have amended the article as per your suggestions and hope it now meets your FA criteria. --Oldak Quill 12:30, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

I believe I have everything now. --Oldak Quill 13:51, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Eigens

I'm not satisfied with the article as yet. I'll try and copyedit the text, which leaves me to review Belgium on Sun. is this ok with you?

Belgium

The content is ok, User:tony1 is good at copyediting, I'm sure he could help you out. User:Nichalp/sg 08:21, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I'll try to have a look over the next few days. Tony 01:35, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Belgique

You're welcome! I still have a few sections to go. Tony 12:57, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Hope you don't mind—I've pruned your opening statement on the FAC page. I think it's stronger now. Tony 05:55, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

War of the League of Cambrai

Thank you for your comments here. I've made some changes to try and address your objections; if you have the chance, perhaps you could take another look at the article? Kirill Lokshin 12:50, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Bounty Board

Greetings. You've recently been involved with working on get articles up to featured status, so I wanted to let you know about a new page, Misplaced Pages:Bounty board. People have put up monetary bounties for certain articles reaching featured status - if the article makes it, the bounty lister donates the stated amount of money to the Wikimedia Foundation. So you can work on making articles featured, and donate other people's money at the same time. If this sounds interesting, I hope you stop by. – Quadell 22:21, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Acetic acid

On the FAC comment for acetic acid, in my humble opinion, all your comments have been taken care off. Would you care to adjust your opinion, typically by striking out your Object? Wim van Dorst 20:51, 7 November 2005 (UTC).

History of Jews in Poland

Is your point still not resloved? Do you still object to the FA nomination? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 13:01, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Ditto. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 02:15, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Since you enjoyed History of the Jews in Poland, to which User:Halibutt has made substantial contributions, I thought you may enjoy this recent RfA, whoch seems to be in need of some comments.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 06:27, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

Belgium

Congrats, its now featured. I copyedited the text to a certain extent. I still don't think its "brilliant prose" (I wish Tony was here), but it's certainly better now. I may be exacting, but I am a perfectionist and in such a case you will find me "dogmatic". Regards, =Nichalp «Talk»= 08:08, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
