Rayleigh Scattering
You recently edited Rayleigh Scattering to remove the phrase "and the reddening at sunset" from an image description. Did you find the phrase misleading in some way? The body of the article describes how Rayleigh scattering is responsible for red sunsets. Spiel496 (talk) 17:29, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * From Sunset: The red hues of the sky at sunset and sunrise are caused by Mie Scattering, not Rayleigh Scattering. --Petter (talk) 01:00, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * The Mie theory page makes no mention of a wavelength dependence. My intuition is that the light scattering off larger particles, like those in clouds, tends to be the same color as the incident light. So, while Mie scattering may explain why I see clouds, it does not seem to explain why they are being lit with red light. Is there something about the Rayleigh explanation you find lacking?  Spiel496 (talk) 16:56, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * My understanding (although I'm no expert at all :-) ):
 * The fact that the sun is red during sunset is explained by Rayleigh Scattering (blue is scattered away).
 * The fact that the sky is red during sunset is explained by Mie theory
 * Rayleigh Scattering couldn't explain why the sky is red during sunset, because red wavelengths aren't scattered very much ($$\propto 1/\lambda^4$$). Thus, all red light should come from the sun if only Rayleigh Scattering is considered. --Petter (talk) 18:36, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, it doesn't sound like we're in disagreement about the physics. The article was only trying to make your first point, that the sun is red because Rayleigh scattering took away the blue light.  I think Mie scattering is a bit of a round-about way to explain why a cloud would glow red at sunset.  I mean, it's being lit up by a red sun; what color would one expect?  Spiel496 (talk) 22:08, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, I just found that image caption a bit misleading, that's all. --Petter (talk) 00:19, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Knapsack problem.
A tag has been placed on Knapsack problem., requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from an implausible typo.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you believe that there is a reason to keep the redirect, you can request that administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template   to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. decltype 08:00, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * External sites link to this redirect: . --Petter (talk) 09:09, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * In that case, why didn't you simply correct the typo you did on that page, instead of creating a new article here? Unless, of course, the person who created that link is not you, but just happens to have the same name. In which case the typo is still implausible, even if it did occur once. decltype 09:39, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I would like to, but I am unable to at the moment. Also, that page has a review process, so it takes a while for changes to show up in any case. I come from the Swedish Wikipedia, where redirects are always kept (unless plain wrong). Therefore, I apologize for not being familiar with the routines here at enwp. I propose that the redirect is kept unil that page is corrected. Sounds good? --Petter (talk) 09:34, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I personally have no problem with it, but apparently an admin deleted the page shortly after I nominated it. decltype 15:40, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Mera hjälp, tack
Hej, Petter! Jag behöver mer hjälp; mitt BjörnBergmankonto har blivit evighetsblockerat även på tyska Wikipedia. Kan du tillsammans med GameOn kontakta de tyska administratörena och be dem att lyfta den blockeringen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.65.211.162 (talk) 17:23, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Just wondering, is that really important? Do you plan to contribute to German Wikipedia? --Petter (talk) 20:20, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Ja, Petter, det är viktigt! Det kan komma stunder då jag måste. Till exempel om jag ska skriva en ny artikel, då måste jag ju kunna lägga in en länk till svwp på dewp. Därför är det viktigt. BjörnBergman (talk) 21:46 21 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Det finns redan drösvis med bottar som gör det. - Tournesol (talk) 21:19, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Som Tournesol skriver, botarna tar hand om detta efter ett tag (oftast ganska snabbt). Se till att lägga med interwikilänkar till de andra språkversionerna när du skapar artiklarna bara. GameOn (talk) 06:52, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Men snälla, jag vill att ni ber de tyska administratörerna att avblockera mitt konto på dewp. Jag kanske kommer att bidra dewp till någonting och därför vill jag ha min tyska blockering lyft. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.65.211.162 (talk) 13:15, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Jag föreslår att blockeringen ligger kvar på dewp till dess Björn gjort några hundra redigeringar på ENWP och visat att han klarar av att samarbeta. - Tournesol (talk) 13:27, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Hej, Petter! Jag vill be dig om en annan sak; jag vill att artikeln Stockholms stadsteater flyttas till artikeln Stockholm City Theatre, eftersom det är det engelska namnet för Stockholms stadsteater. Björn (talk) 14:45, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅ decltype (talk) 13:49, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
