Wombat
You are right, a wombat is in fact a boring machine. the result was a long, thin tunnel in which a mine change was laid, thus creating a Wombat mine. I don't have a whole lot of academic sources, but will see about adding some. You should add this subject discussion to the Battle of Vimy Ridge talk page so that further discussion becomes possible.Labattblueboy 17:11, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Your request for template creation has been granted. I have also created the Category associated with the template. Let me know if there's anything else you need. On an unrelated note, you should consider registering so the bots stop harassing you. Adam McCormick (talk) 01:03, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Mersenne prime 45?
I have removed the leading digits you added for the size. Do you have a reliable source (forum speculation not allowed) for them? PrimeHunter (talk) 02:47, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

6b/8b encoding‎
Thank you for your useful and factual filling out of the 6b/8b encoding‎. Much appreciated! —Sladen (talk) 14:30, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

8b/10b encoding‎
Further to your earlier work on the 6b/8b encoding article, thank you for your recent clean-ups to the 8b/10b encoding‎ article. Appreciations! —Sladen (talk) 03:07, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: WWVB
I made this edit so it matched up with the time code diagram above and the weighting of the other fields in the time code. --  Denelson83  07:34, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

I have reverted your last change. The statements "as of 24:00Z today" and "as of 00:00Z today" don't make any sense. My wording makes sense to me because you're "adding up" the values of the DST status bits. --  Denelson83  07:07, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The reversion to the coordinates table was accidental, and has been undone. The DST status explanation as you put it doesn't match up with the status explanation in the graphic.  The wording that I use explains the sequential nature of the DST status bits in a clear and concise way.  Plus, I don't think very many readers are going to want to wrap their heads around ISO 8601. --  Denelson83  08:13, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Addition to Kill A Watt
Please note that I moved your recent addition to the Kill A Watt article to the talk page for improvement talk:Kill A Watt (needs better sources, needs clarification). Please contribute to improving it there before restoring it to the article. Thanks. 00:36, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Re: Nice work on Template:Time signal stations!
Thanks. I thought the columnar format was much more legible. You'll also notice that I added a link to another time signal station, HLA. --  Denelson83  05:12, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for your constructive edits on DDR3 SDRAM (amongst several others in the last while). It's been appreciated. :) 03:59, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

PCI bus protocol
OK, I will read the new section. I'll post a reply tonight or tomorrow. JMiall ₰  16:26, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Apologies but I've not finished this yet and I'm about to go away for the week. It's possible I won't be able to post a reply until a week on Monday. Hope you can wait this long. JMiall  ₰  06:03, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * And a second lot of apologies for the long delay. I hope to have some time at the weekend to get back to this. JMiall  ₰  23:28, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Comments on new section for PCI article
(please post these to the talkpage there if you wish):


 * You asked first of all if it read well to someone unfamiliar with the specs. I think that basically it does.
 * I'm a bit worried though that there is too much detail, I'm not sure where is a good place to draw the line though. Possibly all this information should be split off to (an)other article(s) and summarised within this one?
 * I've not looked at everything you have put on the talkpage yet, I'll come back with some more comments if you found these useful.

Specific questions/issues to be going on with:
 * Why is "asserted" in quotes?
 * 'controlled by 5 main control signals' etc - is signal the right word here? ie are FRAME# etc the name of a particular line or the signals that are present on that line?
 * Also the when the lines/signals are mentioned they sometimes are put in brackets, sometimes commas and sometimes nothing.
 * 'will remain high' - add 'voltage', also voltage needs linking in the main article
 * 'each bus line be undriven' - given the potential for confusion for someone not too familiar with English is it possible to reword?
 * Link Pull-up resistor
 * 'Signals nominally change' - should this be 'nominally' or 'normally'? Is the spec not specific about precisely when they should change?
 * The wording rather implies at that all the PCI devices are concious intelligent beings. It is probably worth toning this down a bit. ie 'decides', 'promise', 'generally attempt', 'desire'
 * '(There are rules for how it is supposed to behave, but they will be mysterious to any single device.)' - is this necessary?
 * link 'bus master'?
 * 'but may not start one unless it observes GNT# asserted the cycle before it begins a transaction' - unclear 'it's
 * 'so there are actually three signals' - fairly colloqial language
 * 'Actually, it has 2.5 cycles' - 'they' not 'it'?
 * 'On the fifth cycle...' - I'm unsure what this paragraph means.
 * 'Access to PCI configuration space is a special case' - of what?
 * 'enables' - link or explain?
 * 'In case of a write' - missing 'the'
 * 'more purely'?
 * Several times you use 'read' or 'write' when it would probably be clearer to use 'read signal' or something similar
 * 'line turns around during' - what does turns around mean here?

Main article:
 * 'However, they are not wired in parallel as are the other traces' - this needs explaining. Traces have not been mentioned yet and it is unclear what this means any way due to the 'are not...as are...' JMiall  ₰  23:16, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
