Hi James. Angela noticed what university you came from and asked me if we knew each other. Are you on holidays? You missed out on a great time at Avoca. -- Tim Starling 13:21, Feb 24, 2004 (UTC)
Hey, I haven't done enought to go to Avoca. Doesn't matter. Anyway, I just thought I'd do a bit. I asked my brother to do some sound engineering stuff, and he thought the pages were rubbish, Microphones and Sound_recording. Here goes a timestamp... JamesHoadley 07:47, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Hi James. I noticed your edits on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and etc. and decided your degree of intellect was worth considerable conversation. I appreciate your explanation for the exchange of kinetic energy to potential energy. I am interested in space exploration, obviously, and have contributed a bit to articles regarding it. I have also written the sample return mission article. Anyways, I thought an introduction was in order. My name is John and I from Tennessee in the United States. It is nice to meet you. --Marsbound2024 22:28, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
- OK, nice to hear that John. The Sample return mission page is excellent, kind of different from most Wikipedia articles, because it's a summary article that goes across many different missions. For instance, the Apollo mission page is a summary of the ~11 missions, plus gives some of the political background. These pages tend to have lots of raw information dumped on them, and it's a lot of work to get a coherent article going. User:Evil_Monkey managed to do this on Apollo 8.

- Thanks for the encouragement as I am relatively new to Wikipedia (on the scale of several months, but only a few months for active participation). Evil_Monkey created a great article with Apollo 8. Good transitioning. Perhaps articles I create in the future will be even better than the sample return mission one. --Marsbound2024 18:10, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Copyright Guidelines
It was pointed out that the images were actually copyright of the Jet Propulsion Lab, not just NASA. Their image use policy is slightly different [1]. If I'm misreading it, please feel free to remove the credit. Thanks. .:.Jareth.:. babelfish 14:20, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] MERs
Thanks for the feedback. I was worried it was a bit aggressive, but Opportunity rover was tagged for cleanup x April 2005 so I figured it was worth a shot. Now my head hurts after about 100 edits of that article, so I might have to leave it alone for a while...Kaisershatner 21:08, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] New look for box headers
There's a discussion on the WikiProject Astronomical objects page regarding a new look for box headers. I was hoping you could drop by and comment. Thank you. — RJH 14:45, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
