User talk:WhiteDragon

G'day! Welcome to Wikipedia. Here are some useful links in case you haven't already found them:

• How to edit a page
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Manual of Style

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page, not that I know much of anything :-P. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you feel like it, you may leave a note at the new user log too.

Tip: you can sign your name with ~~~~

All that, and thanks for mentioning Waldoes on Talk:Autonomous robot. I should have thought of that! :-)

Hi,

I agree with you that NASA should not use miles. After the Mars Climate Orbiter, they were told that they should be more metric but they are still failing to quote metric units on their websites. At least here on Wikipedia, we can ensure that metric is present (on any topic, not just on NASA topics). I would be delighted if you were to add metric equivalents where they are absent. The excellent google converter is simple to use, just type the non-metric value in and press search.

Keep up the good work!

The funny thing is that I just spent quite a while editing the US Postal Service article, with a bunch of measurements in ounces and pounds.

Image copyright problem with Image:Victoria_Crowned_Pigeon.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Victoria_Crowned_Pigeon.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status.

Nuclear District Heating

Hi,

I am just curious, where is the nuclear powered district heating system, that you refered to in your recent edit of District heating. To you have a reference on that? --Claus Hindsgaul (talk) 22:25, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your prompt answer on my talk side.

I just remembered that the existence of nuclear DH had been disputed earlier. I failed to notice that examples had been added further down in the article. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Diatonic button accordion, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Melodeon (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi there.

I feel like we're old friends already. I linked to your userpage after finding that you had beat me to the punch in adding a helpful relevant link to the Alot talk page. I'm still fairly new to the world of wikiing, and I'd never seen a Userbox before I got to your page. Boy did yours impress me. What's more, you've got excellent taste. (To name a few: Doctor Who, Douglas Adams, Biking, Firefly, eBay, C. S. Lewis, Discworld, Tintin, Dilbert, Christianity- not necessarily in that order.) Needless to say, I've begun the process of curating my own Userbox collection, which I'll soon proudly explode across my own page. Thank you for contributing to my wikipediholism.

Proposed deletion of Boron neutron capture therapy

It's proposed to be merged into Neutron capture therapy of cancer, which is more complete and is 98% about boron anyway. I'm not sure who started this article in 2006, as the history is corrupt. But I'm notifying you as one of the early "authors." SBHarris 00:12, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Edit summary

Hi, I just reverted your edit to Benjamin Disraeli (you changed "at 2015" to "as of 2015"), and I left the edit summary "can't you read". This was extremely crass and disrespectful of me to write and I hope you will not hold it against me. I hope you are having a pleasant week and generally doing well. Kind regards, —  Cliftonian (talk)  16:35, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello again, I just looked again and saw all you did was add the as of template, while leaving the actual text the same. I feel doubly silly now. Thanks, keep well now —  Cliftonian (talk)  16:41, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Digital Monetary Trust

The article Digital Monetary Trust has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable defunct currency.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.
