Please consider adding LynxInAntarctica.jpg to commons
Hi. Would you please consider adding LynxInAntarctica.jpg to the Wikimedia Commons and the category Westland Lynx there? That way all the wikipedia-projects can benefit from your photo and more photos of this subject can be found at the same place. Kind regards Hebster (talk) 16:45, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

GR 11
Hello Matt- I got your e-mail and tried to reply, but it bounced back. Let me know if you want the error details. Regarding the GR 11 question, take a look here on my talk page: User_talk:Eric, and note the separate sections for France and Spain on the GR footpath article. -Eric talk 14:29, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Disability on the internet
Hey Mtpaley, I am conducting social science research that is funded by the ESRC and I wonder whether you would like to contribute by answering a few simple questions? I am interested in the role of the Internet in dialogue surrounding disability, and I see that you have contributed towards the article on Down's syndrome. I feel that you will be able to make a valuable contribution towards this research, the results of which are to be published in a peer-reviewed journal. The questions should be relatively straightforward and will be sent in stages, by email. Feel free to contact me (either on- or off-the-record) should you have any questions, queries or comments about the 'e-interview' and/or broader research process. My contact details can be found on my Wikipedia userpage. Faithfully, Nicholas (talk) 14:02, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Hey, I was reading your usertalk and found this. I am the one wanting the change on the ignition timing page, and I assumed you were just being insensitive. I apologize for that, after seeing this, but I still support the edits I made. Thanks, Mike — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.28.251.208 (talk) 23:18, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

No I was not 'just being insensitive' just practical but I still support the reversions I made. You should not try to remove all references to a word that has acquired a negative connotation. There certainly are cases where such references should be removed but where a word has a perfectly valid and currently used meaning it should be documented as it currently is. I should also admit to feeling a little guilty about your comments above because my contributions to the 'Down's syndrome' page were very dull and not worthy of the original request from Nicholas Cimini.

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 20:51, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, Shire (Middle-earth)‎. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them, and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. However, keep in mind that even on the talk page of an article, you should limit your discussion to improving the article. Article talk pages are not the place to discuss opinions of the subject of articles, nor are such pages a forum. Thank you. Carl Sixsmith (talk) 05:18, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Stub tag on Blue film
Please don't add stub tags to articles like this which already have subject-specific stub templates, it just wastes other editors' time. And please also note that stub goes at the end of an article, not the top - see WP:ORDER. Thanks. Pam D  08:49, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Spoilers
Reason I changed the Iwan Rheon article was to avoid any spoilers that people who aren't familiar with the source material may find. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.243.22.144 (talk) 21:09, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

File:TwinOtterInAntarctica.jpg
Hi, Your image File:TwinOtterInAntarctica.jpg has been nominated for deletion as it does not have a license template. I cannot add it (and my images are from an earlier era at Halley - all slides). If you are happy, will you edit it on Commons. Any problem, reply here. Thanks. Finavon (talk) 22:28, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Let it die. It has been orphaned for ages and it is not a especially good scan of the slide. Mtpaley (talk) 23:18, 4 September 2013 (UTC):


 * Thanks but a shame. The same now applies to File:PublicTMB.jpg
 * PublicTMB is a live page so hopefully I have applied a valid license. Can you confirm that this is OK. 19:04, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

Formalising the status of WP:FALKLANDSUNITS
The page WP:FALKLANDSUNITS has not yet been formally adopted as an offical guideline. I have created a proposal to regularise the position. Please feel free to comment Wikipedia talk:WikiProject South America/Falkland Islands work group/Units. If the proposal is accepted, then the page will indeed be part of Wikipedia policy, otherwise it will be tagged a "failed proposal". Either way the uncertainty that has dogged this page for the last three years will be resolved. This message is being sent to every editor of good standing who has contributed here or here.

Why did you reinstate the vandalism on L.H.O.O.Q.?
It's a strange piece of vandalism that got introduced for the first time just a few days ago. It's obviously wrong, as anybody can see. So why did you reinstate it? Did you even think about it for half a second? -- 64.131.244.143 (talk) 02:18, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi Matt- Just wanted to let you know that my post on the above user's talkpage was not auto-generated. I placed the template there (via Twinkle) when I noticed that he'd blanked your userpage.

Rollback granted
Hi Mtpaley. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3AMtpaley enabled] rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback: If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Widr (talk) 05:13, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
 * Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
 * Rollback should never be used to edit war.
 * If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
 * Use common sense.

Congrats
Congratulations on becoming a rollback. :D  The Ninja5 Empire  ( Talk ) 09:39, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

PL/M External Link Submission
Hi, Today I added an External Link to the PL/M page on Wikipedia. It was for PL/M to C Translator Tools & Services. However, you rejected the link as advertising. This link is informational and is in exactly the same category as the following PL/M External Links that Wikipedia has always permitted:

•	Development Assistant for PL/M (DA-PL/M) – Commercial PL/M IDE from RistanCASE GmbH •	PLM2C - PL/M to C Translator – Commercial product from Alternative Solutions •	XTRAN Demonstration: Translating PL/M to C – Commercial product from Pennington Systems, Inc.

Please review our link and add it back to the External Links page. Thanks.

 * If it was just on the PL/M page then the link might well have survived but it was on about 17 articles which makes it look far more like a advert than a reference . There is also the conflict of interest aspect where you are "strongly discouraged" from contributing to articles where you might not have a neutral point of view. The example edits you compared it would probably have had the same problem if they were applied to multiple pages. Just for completion I did not actually delete anything, I just tagged your page to say that these edits require consideration. Mtpaley (talk) 21:09, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

Pair production discussion
Re: Pair production: There is no frame of reference where the electron and positron are back to back. Such a frame would have no net momentum. But the incoming photon must have momentum - it cannot ever be found to be stationary. There are many frames where the electron and positron have angles between them almost 180 degrees down to zero degrees.

Anyway the frame of reference of the article is the one where the photon is measured in the laboratory, where the nucleus is not moving very much. In this frame the electron and positron are found to be moving almost in the same direction.

Chris P.S. I have a PhD in Particle Physics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CKBowdery (talk • contribs) 00:20, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

My PhD in (non particle) Physics is almost certainly much older and rustier than yours but surely there is a frame of reference where the e+ and e- are back to back, it is the FOR where this is true. I agree that the originating photon must have momentum which must be conserved by the resulting y and y- +catalyzing other so it comes down to a frame of reference issue. In the frame of the gammas the e and e- combined have zero net momentum.

Just to be clear this conversation is in no way a edit war - just a enjoyable discussion on my(rusty) physics. Mtpaley (talk) 00:45, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

Hello Matt,

I am confused by your deletion of my edits, which I just found out about in my notes today. I am new to Wiki and was under the impression that it was important to keep that subject pages up to date with the latest developments in a particular field. I am interested in Gerald Bull and the HARP Project and ballistic launch. Recently I found an article about a company that was continuing his launch methodology. As a fan of this technology I thought others who share my interest might want to know about it too.
