Collimator
Hi. I edited this page because, quite frankly, what you wrote didn't make much sense. I think the article as I edited it accurately describes a collimator, in English, as the generic device used in X-ray and gamma-ray imaging because lenses, as used to form optical images, do not (yet) exist at these short wavelengths.

I had not heard the term "bucky" before, and after a little reading it appears to refer to a specific medical imaging device used in combination with a collimator -- it does not appear to be the collimator itself. I reverted your edit.

Perhaps there should be a disambiguation page to distinguish between the kind of collimator used in X-ray and gamma imaging, and the "collimator lens" used at optical wavelengths to form a parallel beam of light. Until then I moved the optical references to the bottom of the page.

Freeway
Hi... I see you added a picture of the band Freeway. Would it be possible for you to add more details about the picture? For instance, when about was it taken, and what are the full names of the people present? Given that the band is mentioned in the main article as soon to celebrate it's 40th anniversary, it would be useful to know what lineup the photo is of. Tabercil 00:07, 16 March 2006 (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 Fonz. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Fonz~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 23:55, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
