Hi William, I have noticed that you did some tests on the page WilliamDParker/Condensed matter template test and that you subsequently blanked it. If you don't need the content of the page, I'd suggest that you ask for its deletion by adding a tag {{db-author}} on it. For your next tests, you can either use the Sandbox, or use a subpage of your userpage, such as User:WilliamDParker/Condensed matter template test (this is probably what you wanted to do here but forgot to add the User: prefix. All the best, Schutz 21:45, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that you have created and worked on a number of the templates listed at Template:Zh-all. I am preparing to enter a number of transliterations of place and object names and would like to have templates to use rather than manually entering the language/romanization name. Specifically, I need the following:

• traditional Chinese: ; pinyin: ; Wade-Giles: ; Taiwanese (POJ): ; Hakka (POJ):

• traditional Chinese: ; pinyin: ; Wade-Giles: ; Taiwanese (POJ): ; Hakka (POJ): ; Hoiliuk Hakka (Tongyong): ; Siyen Hakka (Tongyong): (Note: Tongyong shows the dialect tone differences whereas POJ does not.)

• simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ; pinyin: ; Hokkien (POJ): ; Cantonese (Yale): (Note: To be used in Southeast Asian contexts where Minnan is known as Hokkien and where "Pe̍h-ōe-jī" is not readily recognizeable)

• simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ; pinyin: ; Hokkien (POJ): ; Cantonese (Yale): ; Hakka (POJ):

I am intersted in your input. Specifically, are these templates appropriate (or are they maybe too lengthy)? If so, does it matter which previously existing template I use to build the new templates on? Do you have an opinion on what abbreviations should be used for the languages/romanizations that have not been used before? Is there a good place to discuss this with others? In my opinion, your idea for an inline version of Template:Chinese is a better long-term idea than the possibly endless proliferation of the zh templates. Thanks. — AjaxSmack 20:00, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You received this message because your were on the old list of WikiProject Physics participants.

On 2008-06-25, the WikiProject Physics participant list was rewritten from scratch as a way to remove all inactive participants, and to facilitate the coordination of WikiProject Physics efforts. The list now contains more information, is easier to browse, is visually more appealing, and will be maintained up to date.

If you still are an active participant of WikiProject Physics, please add yourself to the current list of WikiProject Physics participants. Headbomb {ταλκ – WP Physics: PotW} 16:21, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you are listed under Category:Wikipedians in Ohio or one of its subcategories. WikiProject Ohio has been slowing down and we're looking for active Ohioans to turn that around! But first, let us introduce ourselves; we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to Ohio and we're sure there's somewhere you'll fit in just fine. The project's departments include article quality assessment: We have over 5,000 articles to assess for class alone, newsletter writing: This has been delayed by a few months, and new page patrolling: Which has also been slowing down. We also have a newly formed taskforce on our over 1,000 townships at WP:OHTWP.

We have 132 members, many of which are not active within the project. If you are listed there and still received this message please accept the auotmated porcess's apologies. If you are interested in joining us please list you name here. If you're not interested please note this is a one time invite and you will never hear from us again.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to leave a message at our talkpage or with any member of the project, we'll be happy to answer any of your questions. We look forward to seeing you around!

The article Constructive Approximation has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Solely a portal to the journal's website. No evident potential for expansion.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Michael (talk) 13:56, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:BariumOrthotitanate.svg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 18:05, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
