P.S. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you need help with anything or simply wish to say hello. :)

[edit] Supersymmetry

Hi Linus: I did give the SuSy article a pretty thorough going-over back in February, but since I am not an expert in the field, I don't consider that to be "attention from an expert". From what I can see, the article is in reasonably good shape right now. -- Xerxes 14:28, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Top quark

That information is correct; the top quark does not hadronize. This fact was first noted in the paper Production and decay properties of ultra-heavy quarks by Bigi, et al. in 1986. They say:

If the lifetimes [of ultra-heavy quarks] become much shorter than the typical strong interaction time scale Λ_QCD⁻¹ ~ 10⁻²³ s, then open-flavor hadrons and quarkonium bound states cannot be formed any more.

-- Xerxes 22:10, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Higgs boson consensus vote

There is currently a vote on the Higgs boson talk page over whether or not to merge the pop culture references article with the main article. I noticed you've previously contributed to the debate, so your vote would be helpful in establishing a consensus (or, perhaps, a vote of "no consensus", in which case the problem will be referred to AfD). Thanks! -DMurphy 21:35, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Narnia

[edit] (Cars) Tires, not antennae

I'm relatively certain that the cars in Cars generally use their tires as hands, not their antennae. I'm going to change this, but feel free to make a case that I am wrong (if you have one!). Hey, my warranty didn't run out after all! 16:54, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Actually, they used BOTH. -- Jason Palpatine 21:05, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ziocon

Hi Linus, I noticed your comment on the talk page of the Ziocon article. I have nominated it for speedy deletion, because a.) that is not a widely used term and b.) the article is merely an attack page on those who support Israel.--Carabinieri 02:33, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

Greetings, everyone,

If you looked at my userpage recently, you may have seen some obscene content. This was vandalism, and I just caught it. Thanks! MacGuy^{(contact me)} 02:39, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A question from Siemens2 (Moved)

Hi, I was wondering how to put pictures on Wikipedia. My articles could be so much better Siemens2

Thanks for notifying me about the WikiProject on Open-Source software. I'm glad that my knowledge and abilities can be helpful for others! I'll join it right now. Sub-Z3R0 19:02, February 16, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tagging articles

I am just wondering which articles I should tag
and where in the article I should put the tag. Thank You. Sodaplayer ^{talk contributions} 04:05, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject: Free Software

Hello, I noticed that you've tagged several articles with the {{WPFS}} template. The template should go on the article's Talk page, not on the main article page. Thanks! -- dcclark (talk) 18:26, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

I've fixed all the existing cases. RossPatterson 04:17, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: WikiProject Freesoftware

Sure I will! Wikinerd2000 13:27, February 17, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Free Software IRC Channel?

I think we should have an IRC chan. It should be on Freenode because Wikipedia uses freenode for IRC chans. I'll register it. It's called #wpfs . Click Here to go to it! Wikinerd2000 13:37, February 17, 2007 (UTC)

• • • • Oh and yeah my nick is [gosub] on freenode! Wikinerd2000 13:38, February 17, 2007 (UTC)

Give me your nick on freenode and i'll give you Auto OP privliages. I got auto voice on my chan because the chans moderated, so if any "uncouth" users do anything... just devoice em for awhile, then temp ban then ban.

[edit] Wikiproject Free Software

Thanks for the notification! I went ahead and joined, and look forward to helping! P3net 05:48, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re:#wpfs

No problemo! You've been added to the chan with access level 49!

[edit] Distinction between Free-Software and Open-Source

Hi Linus -- I'm a little bit particular about the distinctions between the terms "free software" and "open source." I actually come down on the "open source" side of things. Perhaps if you guys are willing to expand your scope and name of the project to "The Free/Open Source Software Project," I'd be more than happy to join. Thanks for the invitation, though.

[edit] Wikiproject Narnia Newsletter March 2007

WikiProject Narnia Newsletter Issue 1 - 2nd March 2007 . Written by User:Sp3000 (talk•contribs)
WikiProject Narnia News The WikiProject has been a little quiet lately. There are still quite a lot of Narnia stubs. It has been nearly three months since we last worked on Minor characters in The Chronicles of Narnia, which still looks very much like a draft page. That would be a nice article to get into the main namespace. Good and Featured Articles First Battle of Beruna has been listed as a GA. Our only FA at the moment is Narnian timeline. Other news WikiProject Narnia's first newsletter issue has been published. You're looking at it right now! Member News We are now proud of having PiratesArCool (talk • contribs), Mimepants (talk • contribs) and Johann1870 (talk • contribs) on our team. Good luck! To-do Add characters and bios to minor character draft page. Expand Narnia stubs. Place links to the Narnia Portal on article pages by using {{portal|Narnia}}. Add the stub template {{Narnia-stub}} to articles in the category Category:Stub-Class Narnia articles so that there are the same number of articles in Category:Narnia stubs. Link the first mention of a year in all Narnia-related articles to Narnian timeline. Rewrite character articles to use the Narnian character example article format. Adopt an article and improve it to the best of your ability. Wikify The Chronicles of Narnia article, especially the new lead and Narnian Universe sections	From the founder I am proud to present our first issue of the WikiProject Narnia Newsletter. I decided that we needed to alert everybody who had expressed interest in the project that there is much work to be done! Please check in every once in a while at the project talk page, and tell other project members what you've been up to in terms of Narnia articles. Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || Article of the Month: Edmund Pevensie Edmund Pevensie is a major character in The Chronicles of Narnia. He appears as a principal character in three of the seven books. Edmund was the second to enter Narnia, although he tried to betray his siblings to the White Witch. However, Edmund managed to help save Narnia by neutralizing the White Witch's most powerful weapon, her wand. Collaboration of the Month: Shasta (Narnia) Shasta is currently quite short and not much of his background has been mentioned. The article also lacks images – but make sure if you upload one, you include a FU rationale. Contribute!

[edit] ccPublisher

There is no article on ccPublisher. "ccPublisher" currently redirects to Creative Commons, and that article has no information about ccPublisher. Gronky 21:34, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

No problem. BTW, I'm glad to see WP:WPFS doing well. It's a necessary project but I never had the time to try starting it myself. I still don't have time to join, as I'm trying to get Portal:Free software to featured status right now, but I'm trying to help WPFS by mentioning it on the portal and on some talk pages relevent to free software. It still hasn't gained enough momentum whereby it would be self sustaining if the current contributors took a break, but hopefully it will get there. (I'm not sure that Portal:Free_software has gotten to that point yet either.) Good luck. Gronky 21:54, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
