Isengard articles
Hi i saw earlier today that you had moved Isengard to Isengard (Middle-earth) and created a DAB page at Isengard yesterday. Looking at the other Isengard articles, i think the Middle earth article is by far the most notable for the English language wiki. So i moved the DAB page you created to Isengard (disambiguation) and had someone move the Middle-earth article back to Isengard. I hope this is ok with you, if theres a problem we can discuss the move on the talk page and get other peoples opinions. Just seemed to me the middle earth one had that spot for a long time and is far more notable than the two other bands. Thanks BritishWatcher (talk) 21:07, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Drawing Gravity Potential Diagrams
Allen McC,

I love your gravity potential diagram at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:GravityPotential.jpg Did you use some 3D graphing tool to create this?

I want to create a similar diagram with several "gravity wells" and I am looking for a tool to help out. If you have a suggestion for such a tool I will appreciate learning about it.

Thanks! --Lbeaumont (talk) 16:41, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

commons:File:WhiteDwarf mass-radius.jpg
My apology for []: I missed that versions of from 2007 were quite different from WhiteDwarf_mass-radius.jpg. Since a low-resolution JPEG could be easily derived from a high-resolution PNG, but not versa, I mistakenly concluded that Allen McC. uploaded (and copyrighted) a degraded version of ChandrasekharLimitGraph.png. Believe my experience: there are thousands of degraded derivative works on Commons, and many of them are unattributed. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 17:18, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Allen McC.. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Allen McC.~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 21:48, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Free Fall with Friction formula for meteorite break up?
Dear Allen McC,

I would like to now the formula you used for producing your diagram for the articles Free_fall and https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_mit_Luftwiderstand.

I also found a similar diagram https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vergl%C3%BChen#/media/Datei:Meteor_Reibungskraft.gif in the article https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vergl%C3%BChen which shows a different characteristics.

Thanks for any information sincerely
