The Colors category is getting large now that you are creating a lot. It is about time that somebody answer the question at Category talk:Colors about having sub-categories. Georgia guy 21:57, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Color origins

Please descrbe the origins of the colors you are adding. Where do you get "Pale fire brick red" for example? Where are the RGB values for this—and the two shades of "Fire brick red" you have added—defined? --Phil | Talk July 5, 2005 11:16 (UTC)

I'd also like to know where you're getting these names and RGB values. Merely defining a color is a subtle business, and there are no standardized names for specific shades. I'm guessing Fire brick red is from X11, but what about Pale fire brick red, for example? Please respond here or on my talk page. Gazpacho 19:29, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Template changes

Is there any particular reason why you have been changing the colours of various templates from #ccccff to #FFEFD5? I am of the opinion that the blue (#ccccff) is more aesthetically pleasing than the sickly yellow/peach that you have replaced it with.-- Cyberjunkie ^TALK 09:26, 10 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You have violated the three revert rule at Template:U.S. regions. I don't feel enforcing the policy on something this minor is warranted for going one over but others might, so I'm leting you know that in case your not keeping track. -JCarriker 18:09, July 28, 2005 (UTC)

School related topics

Please do not add commercial links (or links to your own private websites) to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. See the welcome page to learn more. Thanks. --PhilipO 18:19, September 6, 2005 (UTC)

Hello - you are correct, adding links is not vandalism. My bad. However, adding a link to the same site from multiple pages - http://rise.f2o.org - is considered linkspam and is against Wikipedia policy. Cheers. --PhilipO 18:33, September 6, 2005 (UTC)

distances in light years and miles

Hello, I see you've edited some galaxy articles, like M61 and added a miles value in brackets next to the light year values. Could you explain the reason for this? I don't see it being particularly informative since everyone can go to the light year article to see how many miles that is and also saying that M61 is 352.4 quintillion miles away is way too specific as distances are not known to such a degree of precision. Also, I doubt the value quintillion will mean much to most people. --Kalsermar 15:20, 16 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

For the same reason, I reverted your statement in Names of large numbers that "numbers larger than quadrillion are used for distances between stars in the universe." Even if M61 is so many quintillion miles away, nobody says it like that. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 23:57, 22 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Unicode damage

Some of your edits (for instance [1] and [2]) are damaging some characters on the text. Could you please tell us which browser you are using, so it can be added to the list of broken browsers which need special handling? It would also be very useful if you could tell which User-Agent header the browser sends to the server (you can look at the HTTP headers you are sending on several sites around the net). --cesarb 14:47, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

New Horizons facts

I'm glad to see that you're interested in space exploration, and the New Horizons mission in particular! By all means, do continue contributing useful information about this mission. While doing that, though, please note the following:

Interplanetary space probes do not travel in straight lines, and their Sun-relative velocity changes dramatically as their distance from the Sun changes (feel free to check out orbital energy or Kepler's laws of planetary motion for further information).
There is no such thing as an absolute velocity in space; when stating a velocity, one needs to mention the corresponding reference frame, for example "Earth-relative" or "relative to the Sun" (unless that is already obvious).
The New Horizons spacecraft is indeed the record holder for highest Earth-relative velocity after launch, or in other words, being the fastest spacecraft to depart Earth (at about 16 km/s just after launch, although this decreased noticeably as the probe gained distance). This velocity, however, only has meaning in the immediate vicinity of Earth, and is in no way relevant to the entire rest of the trip.
21 km/s (or 47,000 mph) is the velocity, relative to Jupiter, at which the probe will pass through the Jupiter system. It is not the Sun-relative velocity that the probe will have after the Jupiter encounter. The probe travels faster before it gets to Jupiter than afterwards, because it is closer to the Sun.
21 km/s is not the highest velocity that the spacecraft will reach; the probe reaches much higher Sun-relative velocities during the initial stages of its interplanetary route, well over 40 km/s.
New Horizons' Jupiter flyby speed of 21 km/s is not a speed record. Current record-holder for Jupiter flyby speed is Pioneer 11 that reached about 48 km/s.
New Horizons is the fastest probe launched from Earth, but it is not the fastest spacecraft ever. Current record-holders for velocity (relative to the gravitationally dominant object) are the Helios probes that reached over 70 km/s, relative to the Sun. Alternatively, current record-holder for highest Sun-relative orbital energy is Voyager 1.

The quality and accuracy of Wikipedia information is our common goal. By keeping the aforementioned facts in mind when contributing further New Horizons information, you will be able to improve Wikipedia even more.

Keep up the good work. 62.245.80.251 21:04, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your Edits to New York City Subway

I've reverted your edits to this article. Although I sympathize with your opinion in regard to the train delays that may have occurred as a result of a power failure, a single incident cannot be taken as representative of the state of the NYC subway system as a whole. Furthermore, a single train delay is inherently not notable. Let me know if you have any questions. Alphachimp ^talk 22:47, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Lemon chiffon (color)

I have nominated Lemon chiffon (color), an article you created, for deletion.

Martin Cooke (Mayor)

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Martin Cooke (Mayor), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Proposed deletion of Eggplant (color)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Eggplant (color), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
