[edit] Petri Nets

Hi, El Pollo Diablo, Welcome to Wikipedia. I just responded to your questions in the talk page for this article on Petri nets. The article itself is a camel -- a horse designed by committee. I have routinely witnessed miracles in Wikipedia, and I'm hoping this article will eventually become one ... (visualize praying hands). As it stands now, it is a mess, but not as much of a mess as it was before I had gotten ahold of it (or so I would like to imagine).

Are you familiar with the LNCS volume 3098 on Advances in Petri Nets? In it there is a paper on Petri nets and dependability that you might be interested in seeing. In my response to your questions I mentioned extensions, and this volume is full 'o them. Rüdiger Valk's paper on Object Petri Nets takes extensions to Petri Nets to novel extremes. Come to find out, his stuff could be useful in modelling the dynamics of blood borne infection/resistance on the cellular level, so the application domain for Petri nets is really broad. The whole moral of this story is that there ain't no such thing as a "standard Petri net". Vonkje 02:04, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Football links

Hi,

I noticed you were new and had been editing football articles, so I thought I'd give you a few links that it took me a while to find. Hope they're useful.

User:Sjorford/Football - comprehensive list of football articles on Wikipedia
Wikipedia:WikiProject Football - place to discuss football articles
Wikipedia:Wikiportal/Association football - good page for editors who are interested in football

[edit] Alex Ferguson

I reverted your deletion as I felt that leaving the article with nothing on his achievements at United was a bit extreme. I've put a few ideas on the article's discussion page.

"At the 2006 Golden Globes, a film about gay cowboys, Brokeback Mountain, won Best Film" -- I removed that, from Chef's Chocolate Salty Balls it has nothing to do with the article, please dont add things that do not have to do with the article.

[edit] Raymond E. Feist articles

Hello,

While searching around the "What links here" list attached to the Raymond E. Feist article looking for other Wikipedias who may be fans, I found you. Currently I am working on expanding the related articles of the Riftwar books, but there is a lot of ground to cover with 20 books to look through. I am hoping to gather other editors who may be willing to spend a little time to help out. There are articles which need expanding and clean-up, and I don't think I can do it alone.

The current articles are (red links to be started): The series articles:

Riftwar
Krondor's Sons
Empire Trilogy
Serpentwar Saga
Riftwar Legacy
Legends of the Riftwar
Conclave of Shadows
Darkwar Saga

[edit] Blocked IP

The IP of what I can only assume must be all of Loughborough University campus has been blocked. While I appreciate that there has been a vandal from this IP, blocking the entire thing is counterproductive as there is at least one (me) genuine editor here. Surely there is another way? --El Pollo Diablo (Talk) 14:32, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

It's really a tough problem, actually. The autoblock is simply a 'secondary' block that happens to the IP of a named user when his account is blocked. The admin can't see the IP, so there's no way he can know what he's autoblocking. The autoblock stops persistent vandals or spammers from simple making another account and going right back to what they were doing five seconds later. The balance, of course, is that other good editors can get blocked for a few minutes, and if it happens often enough they stop contributing. I'm really sorry if this keeps happening - please hang in there and know that we try to fix autoblock damage as fast as possible. Kuru ^talk 01:01, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
