Spectral data
Dear user Deglr6328, I've got a similar request to the previous poster. For science purposes, we would need the fairly accurate emission spectra of several types of light source, and we are not physicists who can easily measure them ourselves. If you can help us in this regard, or if you want further information about what exactly we need the spectra for, please mail me at wilkie (whirlpool) cgg dot ms dot mff dot cuni dot cz Many thanks!

Spectrum in ascii format?
Dear Deglr6328, thank you for your useful contribution of the spectra, is it possible obtain a ascii format copy of the HeNe spectrum? would be glad if you could send it to konradb at gmx dot at Thank you! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Konze (talk • contribs) 08:56, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Shock wave
Dear sir,

You have changed the shock wave to its erroneous state. I know that you like to vandalize. Look it is not proper to vandalize, you have very little knowledge of shock wave or compressible flow. Perhaps you should read my book before try to edit my parts. You should read my remarks in the talk section before you make any changes. If you believe that you are right, than you should identify your self and get prize for you new discoveries. I like to know why you think any of the mistakes in shock wave should be remained.

My name is Genick Bar-Meir and you can email me at barmeir at gmail.comor check www.potto.org.

If you do not stop vandalizing I will be forced to ask the administrator for help.


 * Deglr6328 - taking care of this, don't bother (unless you want to). Maury 18:38, 1 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh yeah, wasn't I supposed to be contacting someone about the copyright status of some image? Argonne maybe? LNLL? Maury 19:05, 1 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks very much for your kind words Maury! someone deleted http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=Image:Fiber_optic_bundle.jpg that image (fiber optics) and I gave up trying to keep it in the article. oh well.--Deglr6328 05:40, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

polycarbonate NIR spectrum - sample thickness?
Deglr6328,

This is my first attempt to do something other than browse/view Wikipedia content, so please be kind. I have a comment regarding the NIR absorbance spectrum for polycarbonate, and this comment may apply to other spectra you have contributed. In the polycarbonate spectrum, the vertical axis is % transmission, but no pathlength/material thickness figure is given. Hence, this is really a relative absorbance spectrum. If the path length is available, it would be really useful if it were indiccated on the spectrum.

Thanks for your contribution, which has been helpful to me already.

Cheers, eqpi


 * Cool I'm so glad the information was of use to you! I used a pair of plastic saftey goggles from UVEX to get that transmittance spectrum. Here they are . Unfortunately they dont provide any information on the thickness of the lenses. Tell you what, tomorrow I will measure them and let you know here. --Deglr6328 05:04, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


 * The path length of the polycarbonate was 2.3 mm. Hope that helps! --Deglr6328 21:35, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I have been disturbed by the streak of people I run into on the internet and real world, so my curiosity makes me want to meet another wikipedia editor. My edits have always been anonymous, and I study neuroscience, organic chemistry, and physics for the most part. My aim/aol mail is priestknowledge... I've been at a loss for how to enact my beliefs as of late, and I haven't been able to find those of like mind. I'm wondering what your life experiences are like for comparison. Maybe strike up some significant conversation while I'm at it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Priestofknowledge (talk • contribs) 07:37, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Peter Pan
On Image:Contaminated Peter Pan peanut butter.jpg, you've failed to provide a source for the image. If you created the image yourself (and I suspect that's probably the case), just say so on the image description next to your "yummy but deadly" comment. In that case, you also might want to change the license tag from GFDL to GFDL-self. SchuminWeb (Talk) 08:50, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Gay Germ Theory
Hey it's me, Drowssap Looc. I added a notes section using cite.php. This should make it easy for other people to clean up their referencing. I've already used it for my stuff.

GA on Nova
Well we did it, we passed GA on Nova. Now for HiPER... Maury 00:12, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * The big problem with HiPER is a lack of outside refs, because the ones I used were sent to me directly by one of the primary investigators. Under normal conditions this would be be a good thing, but... If you have any refs from the print world that would help. And yeah, the cone-in-shell would definitely add to the article, the single picture just doesn't do it. Maury 21:38, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Hafnium
Dear Sir, I am intrigued by your hafnium photograph. I work on zirconium and titanium alloys, and occasionnaly on hafnium. Actually, I find the patterns displayed by the colours very interesting. Could you tell me more about the history of the material used for this picture ? Do the colours have their origin in an oxide layer formed at high temperature, and do you know if the lump has been heated over the allotropic transformation temperature (ca. 1750 °C) ? I can be contacted at : nv*at*altern.org

Thank you.


 * The lump has been heated to liquification and I suspect the colors are created by thin oxide (or nitride?) layers that formed on the surface when it was taken out of vacuum while still somewhat hot.--Deglr6328 06:54, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Deionised Water
The HiFog system was selected for the protection of the computer equipment (and other valuable assets) at my company. The system is also used in several other locations where non conductivity of the extinguishant is vital. One of the trials of the system was where it was used to protect a High Voltage AC installation (415 volts). I do not know if they have trialled it for higher voltages. One of the main features is that once the extinguishant has discharged, the protected electrical and electronic equipment can be operational again in just a few hours (presumably excluding the bit that actually set it off in the first place). In view of the value of the assets that these systems are now protecting, I can only assume that the suppliers would not make such boasts wrecklessly, because if they are wrong, we would be suing them for billions.

Image:Pitch drop experiment.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Pitch drop experiment.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria.

Fair use rationale for Image:Lichtenberg_discharge_(st_elmos_fire)_on_aircraft_window.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Lichtenberg_discharge_(st_elmos_fire)_on_aircraft_window.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is either no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use, or else the rationale given is not valid. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Wikistress
Hi Deglr6328. You seem to have a lot of interests in common with me, since it happens quite often that I see your name. Anyway, I noticed this edit on glowstick. Please don't leave because of that! I agree that vandalism can be a pain and I wouldn't mind if it were easier to (semi-)block articles, but that's not enough to consider leaving.

Anyway, now that I'm here anyway:
 * could you comment on Talk:FASOR (laser physics)?
 * did you get around to calibrating your spectrometer for the various spectra that you measured? If you still have the spectra and a calibration file, but find it too much work to make the plots again, I could do that for you, at least for the plots without annotations. I can write a script that reprocesses all data automatically. If you're interested, it might be better to use email. My address can easily be found on a search engine from the info on my user page.

Speedy deletion of Image:Laser speckle.jpg
A tag has been placed on Image:Laser speckle.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on  explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. ░▒▓Frogger3140▓▒░ (talk) 22:52, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Xenon Flash Lamp article needs work
Hi, I noticed that you have commented in the past on the Xenon Flash Lamp article. I have built many hundreds of flashlamps, and various power supplies for them. After reading that article I feel that it needs some improvement, as some info doesn't make any sense, and one section is almost unreadable. I have proposed some changes, but I would like to get some input from others before I implement them. I'm fairly new a Wikipedia, and not sure how to include things like the references I've listed. Any comments you would like to leave on the Xenon Flash talk page would be appreciated. ThanksZaereth (talk) 19:39, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Intensity corrected spectra discrepancy
Regarding http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Spectrum_of_blue_flame.png I don't understand why the intensity corrected spectra is different than the uncorrected. In particular, the 510nm peak is significantly attenuated. Is this due to PMT spectral sensitivity? I thought 'corrected' simply meant 'calibrated'. Also, why would 'correction' add noise? Is that curve from a separate measurement, or just the original data multiplied by another curve? What is the correction curve which the uncorrected is being multiplied against? 69.108.2.81 (talk) 21:54, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Fluorescent spectral diagram
Hi Deglr6328,

I was recently playing with a diffraction grating and decided to take some spectral photos of various lights. The one I took of a cool-white, fluorescent lamp turned out really good. It shows the different peaks very nicely. Upon seeing your diagram of the peaks, I decided to cut a small ribbon from my photo and paste it onto yours, to see how well it lines up with your diagram. Nearly every peak lines up almost perfectly! I thought it looked really good, combining the two, helping the reader to visualize what color the peaks actually are. Of course, because it is your diagram, I wouldn't dare change it without consulting you first. (Not to mention I had to convert it to PNG, because I have no way to edit SVG files.) I do think it adds a nice splash of color to the picture.

If you'd like to see my photo, it is on the Fluorescent lamp page, just above your diagram. If you'd like I could email you a copy of the modification I made. The only difference is that some of the red peaks are in slightly different locations. Zaereth (talk) 21:16, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Dear en:user:Deglr6328 I would like to get a copy of the color file used to generate the graph shown at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Fluorescent_lighting_spectrum_peaks_labelled.png I have played around and got a graph that is very similar but would like to have the color version (.jpg or .bmp) of the graph.

 * Hi. I've been watching this page since my question above, and I believe Deglr6328 is no longer active on Wikipedia. I'm not sure what you are looking for, myself. I used this exact graph in my comment above, where I added a little strip of color beneath the graph line, showing the varying intensity of each peak. I copy/pasted this from my photo, here, and the peaks match perfectly, from number 2 to number 16. I'm not sure I can publish it on commons without Deglr's permission.
