Rigidity
Hi there, Okay, I see your reasoning. I guess I'm used to thinking about rigidity just being an accelerator physics concept, but I can see that it would be just as useful in other fields.

Particle physics still seems a little restrictive to me, since I don't think of that as including accelerator & cosmic ray studies (I hold a faculty position in the physics dept of a British university, so I know something about this ;) ). Perhaps "Rigidity (physics)" would make most sense?

 * True, "physics" is a little broad. I like your idea of changing the tag to "electromagnetism", since that seems like a perfect fit to the mechanism being described.


 * As an accelerator physicist, I don't really think of myself as a particle physicist, since much of my work is based on research for light-sources, which are used in the applied sciences (biology, chemistry, genetics, nano-scale physics, etc.), not particle physics. However, I am used to being thought of by particle physicists as part of a service industry for them.  *sigh*  ;)  SteveM (talk) 09:07, 11 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for helping me out :)


 * I love that you think of light sources as toys :D I conduct research for this one  and can't really think of a multi-GeV machine that produces the brightest and shortest bunches of x-rays ever observed as a "toy"!


 * Thanks again. I appreciate your help.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sdmolloy (talk • contribs) 11:48, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Don't just blank the redirect, it either needs to be pointed somewhere or taken to WP:RFD. Gigs (talk) 17:08, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Nevermind, I didn't notice that you were the one that had created them in the first place. Gigs (talk) 17:42, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Move of tauon and tauon neutrino
Hello, the move of tauon to tau (particle) and tauon neutrino to tau neutrino was unilaterally reverted after the discussion was closed, I have therefore reopened the discussion here. Icalanise (talk) 18:11, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Power law
Do you have a source we can cite for your additions to Power law? Dicklyon (talk) 15:31, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi Dicklyon, not really, I googled the names from memory and adapted one of the first results. These terms are quite common in astrophysics.  I'm not sure which kind of source would be suitable though, so feel free to add whatever you find relevant.  Skippy le Grand Gourou (talk) 16:48, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Proofreading
Hi Skippy,

I just noticed your request and I'm about to head to work now, but I'd love to take a look at your summary later today, if you can wait that long. I remember you also helped me out with some language issues on fr-wiki (regarding a deletion discussion for kanji articles), so I think I owe you one ;)

 * Hi Rjanag, thanks. It has already been reviewed by Marco polo, but I'll wait for your suggestions.  Skippy le Grand Gourou (talk) 13:52, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi Rjanag, actually I've already had two reviews, I think this is enough for me, so don't bother with that. Thanks anyway.  Skippy le Grand Gourou (talk) 09:59, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

VTGR listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect VTGR. Since you had some involvement with the VTGR redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Leschnei (talk) 16:10, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

"Pionic deuterium" listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Pionic deuterium and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Redirects for discussion/Log/2021 December 28 until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion.
