I'm curious as to what your stance on usage of the {{PDF}} template is. I'm also curious as to whether there has been any previous discussion on using the template versus using (PDF) notation. Would work towards changing (
PDF) to the
PDF be worthwhile? (Work that I'd do myself)
As for the template itself (
Template:PDF,
PDF), I'm of the opinion that a scaled version of
looks better and is perhaps more recognizable. (I get the impression that you created the template...)
I'm certainly much less experienced than you are with Wikipedia. Thanks for any guidance! Gertlex 16:25, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Omegatron,
I would like to focus your attention again on one of the most interesting circuit phenomenon - Negative resistance - and on its famous circuit implementation - Negative impedance converter. IMO, both the phenomenon and the circuit have never explained (if you have ever met good explanations about this subject, please let me know!) I have been trying to reveal the secret of this "mystic" circuit from many years. Now, I have the feeling that I have managed to grasp the basic idea behind it; so, I would like to share my penetration with Wikipedia audience.
I have already created the first circuit stories about dynamic and negative resistance. Now, I am developing two pages about VNIC and INIC.
I have the idea to co-ordinate this work with according Wikipedia pages. Following the Wikipedia conventions, I have first exposed my suggestion on Talk:Negative impedance converter. I would be glad, if you and other experienced Wikipedians who love exotic circuits join this discussion.
I have also tried to resume the discussion about Current source and the dual Voltage source −- see Talk:Current_source#New_structure where I have suggested to rearrange the structure of these pages. As I can see, you have participated very actively in the creating of the pages; so, I may expect that you will react to my suggestion. Circuit-fantasist 18:00, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
I noticed that you changed the introduction to the PETA timeline, and now it reads "According to PETA, important actions include." I admit that what I wrote sounded stupid, however, it shouldn't have "According to PETA." Some of the actions (albeit a very small number) were not referenced by PETA. Jesuschex

I would like to see some section on the
audio level compression page which helps the reader find software (or even possibly hardware) that performs it. I'll grant Audacity is not the only software out there that does it, but it's the only one I know of. I came to the article looking for software which would perform compression, and had to search extensively elsewhere before finally finding the right tools. Most searches for compression turn up audio data compression software, i.e. that is to say, encoders.
I invite you to add links to a more representative sample of compression-capable software, or else restore the Audacity link for the time being. Thanks.-- 4.236.30.208 03:17, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Let's start with my first uncertainty. I have uploaded images that are by me [such as the ibeji], and looking at that set of tage, one was for an image that the creator permitted to be uploaded by a Wikipedian. I have used that, but questionably, and I cannot find that tag any more. It seems iffy, in that how can the site know that the agreement for another to upload is real? And what should one [I mean 'I'] do in such cases. The creator may not know Wikipedia, have no interest in it, not agree to personally upload, but it is fine with him/her for the image to be there in a valid license. --Dumarest 15:03, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Hello, as an editor who has previously added to the Physics article and taken part in discussions on its talk page I thought a current proposal may be of interest to you. Over the past few months the article has suffered from a lack of focus and direction. Unfortunately the article is now judged by a number of editors to be in a relatively poor state. There is currently a proposal to start a full consensus based review of the article. That review and consensus process has been proposed here, your thoughts on the proposal and participation in the WIP review of the article would be much appreciated. It disappoints me that an article on one of the fundamental sciences here at wikipedia is in such a relatively poor state, and I hope you can have a browse by the page to offer your views and hopefully participate.

Hey Omegatron, Spellbound appears to be "not compatible" with the latest Firefox versions. What are you using right now? -- Thax 20:17, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
Nuh-uh. If you wish to make a case against me, do so in [1]. Yesterday you left a message reminding me that bad edits aren't necessarely vandalism. You were right and I've reverted myself accordingly, but my recent reverts have nothing to do with that and everything to do with anons, probably sockpuppets, paralysing the article. Which is why I obtained page semi-protection. [2]. Jean-Philippe 07:44, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Cool :-) Duckbill 20:56, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Omegatron, I'd appreciate it if you'd inform yourself fully before commenting on a situation. The PETA anon is a disruptive troll who different user accounts and IP addresses, including proxies, to harass editors. His harassment takes different forms: sometimes he just makes lots of random edits, intending to be disruptive so that he has to be reverted, but falling short of simple vandalism so that he can pretend it's just a content dispute. He's been doing it to various people/articles for a few months. The correct thing to do when he arrives at an article is to revert until an admin semi-protects. His usual modus operandi is then to file a complaint at AN/I or AN/3RR. It doesn't help, to put it mildly, when an editor such as yourself, who is not aware of the background, arrives to support him.

Hi, Omegatron, you removed my graphic from the page Spacer GIF with the comment please don't do that. I must admit that I am puzzled. I do try to enhance WP with graphics illustrating the content, and this seemed to be an obvious way of showing what a Spacer GIF could do. Do you have an issue with the graphic file, or with its inclusion on the page? How could I change it to address your concerns? Or do you simply prefer text with no graphics in WP?

I found your floating sidebar script, and I think it's really cool. However I was a bit dissappointed that the user toolbox had to be part of the sidebar for it to work properly. I did a bit of poking around and worked out how to leave the user toolbox as is and still have everything working :-) Here's the altered Javascript code:
/* Move top tabs inside body content */
addOnloadHook(function () {
content = document.getElementById("column-content"); // Find the main content column
footer = document.getElementById("footer"); // Find the footer
footer.parentNode.removeChild(footer); // Remove the footer from the global wrapper
content.appendChild(footer); // Place footer at the end of the content column;
tabs = document.getElementById("p-cactions"); // Find the top tab list
tabs.parentNode.removeChild(tabs); // Remove the tab list from the side column
content.insertBefore(tabs,content.firstChild); // Place tab list at the beginning of the content column
utoolbox = document.getElementById("p-personal"); // Find the user toolbox links list
utoolbox.parentNode.removeChild(utoolbox); // Remove the user toolbox links list from the side column
content.insertBefore(utoolbox,content.firstChild); // Place user toolbox links list at the beginning of the content column
});
Thought you'd like to know how your code is being put to use. Harryboyles 10:10, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
The image that formed the award was deleted, so I put the <nowiki> tags around the image link to stop a red link from showing up. If that displeases you, you're free to remove it. But I thought this was a good solution since it leaves others' kind words untouched. Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 14:26, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the CSS code that lets people scroll down without the sidebar moving! However, on Firefox 1.5, the username and associated links line that's normally in the top right is behind the Wiki logo, rendering the two visible links unclickable. -- Chris chat edits essays 22:38, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

I just saw your idea for modular schematic diagrams and thought it was something I could help you with. Here's how I would handle it.
First, each of the graphics should be converted to SVG. (As you may know, MediaWiki has SVG support now.) Then, I could make a script that would piece together each SVG graphic into one big one, as well as handle text. I hope you can help me and that I can help you. Respond at my talk page. Peter O.

you reverted the change on this template. Could you please explain the reason? Just for interest, I originally wrote this template on 8 June 2005 and the present version does not work correctly with thumb images - see here and the first example below:

Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

while the version I amended, worked as here:

Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

SVG files are text files. I could make an online script similar to the one you have still online, but that generates SVG instead of HTML. SVG text of each schematic piece is used instead of images. The resulting SVG file could then be uploaded to Wikipedia. Peter O.

Oka, I've finished modifying the Klunky editor so it outputs SVG instead of HTML when the "display" link is clicked. See
User:Poccil/f1.html and
User:Poccil/svg.js; the latter file contains many of the graphics in SVG format, but I haven't converted all of them yet. Please try it when you have the chance to.

Hey,
I was wondering if you have any experience seeing User:Radiant! around? I've noticed that he is of the opinion that guidelines and policy don't require and sort of consensus gathering, but simply document current practice. This presents a problem when one arbitrarily decrees that its current practice. Anyways, I was just wondering if you know anything about him - apparently hes recently returned, and seems to be following me around everywhere. Perhaps I'm just going to his hangouts more often recently...
Also, I doubt you're interested, but I'd love to hear what you think about WP:NNOT. Fresheneesz 09:43, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
I have finished the conversion to SVG and added more functionality to the Klunky editor. Now the entire editor works without frames and is on a single HTML file ( f1.html, with svg.js). Also, I have included the ability to add text labels to schematics, which I believe you will find interesting. Take care. Peter O. ( Talk) 15:28, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
hi omegatron,
i've removed the categories of these pictures again, for reasons outlined here. please feel free to contact me if any questions still persist, and please know that your pictures are very much appreciated. after all, the goal is to have at least one picture of every species ;) cheers -- Sarefo 18:30, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
hi omegatron,
did you check out the commons:Category:Araneae? The only pictures in it are the ones you made. That is because the whole categorization is done like i tried to explain to you: unidentified pictures go to Commons:Category:Unknown spiders only, and, if you know the family or genus of the spider, to the appropriate category. The way you do it, they clutter up Araneae, which is useless because the appear under Unknown spiders, which is a direct subcategory of Araneae. What makes your spiders so special that they defy standard categorization? ;) The other thing, categorizing the pictures separately under Unknown spiders, is ok by me, as long as it is easily visible that pictures of the same species belong together. I did not realize that they are several different species, i thought they are probably male and female, but you're probably right.
This is taking up way to much time for me. I gave you one week to answer, and clearly said that i would revert the changes soon, which i did. you just reverted my edits two times, giving me no time to give you reasons why there should be a better solution. This is against wiki policy, sorting out things first, and not revert immediately, wasting other people's time and nerves. So i propose this to you: i (for the third time iirc) delete the Category:Araneae from the pictures, but i leave the Category:Unknown spiders, although i am still of the opinion that there should be a solution that does not clutter up the Unknown spiders category as much. I won't do it immediately, but will wait again for some days. Please do answer me on User:Sarefo if you have a better solution, or, if you still disagree, give reasons why you do so. cheers -- Sarefo 07:51, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
hi again :)
the unfortunate critters on Image:Spiders eating 139.jpg are actually moths, but the ones in Image:Spiders eating 149.jpg are probably related to flies, and here + there there's the occasional mosquito (good riddance ;). could you specify which part of the US you took these pictures? could be useful for determining the spider species. cheers -- Sarefo 23:14, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
