your sig
In your sig, why do you use ex's instead of em's to make the 2-row thing? flaminglawyerc 19:52, 1 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Copy paste from another guy's sig. Why? Headbomb {{{sup|ταλκ}}κοντριβς – WP Physics} 21:02, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
 * ex's are a measurement of character height, whereas em's are character width (as I understand it). You use 3.5 ex's, but there are 4 characters. I was wondering how that worked. flaminglawyerc 05:20, 2 January 2009 (UTC)


 * No clue. I've tweaked it to 4.5ex now, since it looks better. How that works is beyond me.Headbomb {{{sup|ταλκ}}κοντριβς – WP Physics} 13:49, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure how it works... Just to be safe, I'll leave ex's alone and keep using em's. flaminglawyerc 18:11, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Optical properties of carbon nanotubes
I asked a few questions on the linked page. Anyway I am close to passing the article as a GA, and wish to consider your opinion if you think the article is GA quality. Crystal whacker (talk) 20:48, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Belated: scientists and WP:Deny recognition

 * Hi Headbomb, thought the point you made before the New Year was right on (re: scientists basically ignoring pseudoscience below a certain level), and belatedly replied. I'm going to take that list to ArbCom for clarification; will let you know when that happens so you can comment if you want. regards, Backin72 (n.b.) 11:12, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

ArbCom request for clarification: WP:PSEUDOSCIENCE

Woot! Copy from it all you want.Headbomb {{{sup|ταλκ}}κοντριβς – WP Physics} 23:00, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Edit summaries
Hey, what's up with the use of /b/ in your edit summaries here? I know it's your sandbox, but you're setting off alarms. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 21:08, 16 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Alarms? Anyway, I saw an I.P.'s edit be logged as a bot edit and the edit summary was /b/ and I was wondering if having /b/ as an edit summary caused the edit to be logged as a bot edit. Headbomb {{{sup|ταλκ}}κοντριβς – WP Physics} 21:24, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Rollback
I granted you rollback. I suppose that you know that the rollback should be only used to revert obvious vandalism. Ruslik (talk) 16:50, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Yuppers. I'll test it on my sandbox first. It's not something I plan to use much, I just find it pretty annoying to have to go through hoops to revert that sort of thing. Anyway thanks. Headbomb {{{sup|ταλκ}}κοντριβς – WP Physics} 17:01, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
