The flowstream
This is a concept which I learned from Andrew Joseph Galambos, who was a rocket scientist in the 1950s. Galambos used the term 'flowstream' to signify the ideas of human civilization, and how they propagate from one person to the next. Galambos used this term to describe the intellectual ancestry of a person's ideas, and where the ideas came from. You can read more about this in Galambos' book.

There is another usage for 'flowstream', for  the water used to separate out the gold nuggets in a gold mine. Thank you for asking. --Ancheta Wis (talk) 14:23, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Pioneer anomaly etc
Hi Steve, I have noticed your baranced editing (or reviewing?), sometimes "reverting unhelpful edits by anonymous IP" and recently "restore to last edit by Kurtan" a section in the first place introduced by User:Crum375. It is discussed at Talk:Pioneer anomaly and now, instead of sitting on the fence, you let his "intelligent and rational" but ultra-mainstream reply change your mind! I say this because other users see his manipulativ edits and wp-insights reminding of now banned jps's. I find it far from happy ending yet. Mariguld (talk) 15:00, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Best american poetry editor David Lehman photo 1996.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Best american poetry editor David Lehman photo 1996.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. B (talk) 18:58, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
