 * Please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes ( ~ ). This will automatically insert your "signature" (your username and a date stamp). The [[File:Button sig.png]] or [[File:Insert-signature.png]] button, on the tool bar above Wikipedia's text editing window, also does this.

Theemathas, good luck, and have fun. --Aboutmovies (talk) 09:04, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or  located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 04:16, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Some (probably good faith) user keeping reverting edits
Some edits and reverts happened on Passive optical network and appears that it might start an edit war. The side reverting edits is an anonymous IP and doesn't reply in the talk page. The edit summary clearly shows good faith, but the reverts don't look right. Also note that this problem is posted on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Computing.

I think this is neither an edit war nor vandalism nor a correct behavior, so I don't know how to deal with it.--Theme (talk) 15:21, 18 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for letting us know. I'm looking into it. :-)  K rakatoa    K atie   19:11, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Reporting article needs attention from an expert
I want to report to somewhere that I've put a "needs attention from an expert" on Van Emde Boas tree a long time ago, but I don't know where to report it. Please report it and provide me a link to where it is reported so I can report it myself the next time something similar happens. Theme (talk) 14:13, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
 * It is reported at, and putting the tag on does this automatically. You are best not to try doing it manually - these things can sometimes be tricky. Getting someone to actually deal with it is another matter. Sooner or later someone will deal with it, but there's no way I know of accelerating the process.

 * I'm leaving your helpme up in case someone who knows more than I do comes along. Peridon (talk) 16:20, 21 October 2013 (UTC)


 * The place where the article is listed is Category:Computer science articles needing expert attention; that's automatic due to the maintenance tag. You may want to also raise the issue at a relevant WikiProject such as WT:WikiProject Computer science if you haven't already done so. Huon (talk) 21:47, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Claim of unhelpful edit
Forgive the possibly strange formatting, This is the first time I've attempted to send a message to another WP user.

"In the Gravity drag page, you added Citation needed after "For instance, the way to maximize acceleration is to thrust straight downward; however, thrusting downward is clearly not a viable course of action for a rocket intending to reach orbit." which is obvious. See: You do need to cite that the sky is blue (but see also You do need to cite that the sky is blue, which makes stuff a little bit complex). I understand that you are trying to improve wikipedia, but all rules have exceptions. You are still invited to edit wikipedia, as long as you don't make the same mistake again. :)" everything on You do need to cite that the sky is blue (which you linked to twice) seems to indicate that I was not wrong to suggest a citation be added to the above statement. I understand why thrusting back towards the planet is not a viable method of return but its not particularly intuitive, as are so many things in orbital mechanics. I only just realized that the request for a citation was associated with text on rocket launch, not deorbit. I must have added the statement in an attempt to be funny. My apologies. 66.38.56.124 (talk) 13:33, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
