I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place Little context in Roller chopperHello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Roller chopper, by Crunch13 (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Roller chopper is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. HeadingsHi, I've noticed you're creating a lot of section headings in the pages you're editing. Note that according to Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(headings)#Capitalization, only the first word in a heading is capitalized unless the heading contains a proper noun. WLU 12:42, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Acacia karrooHi WriterHound - Unfortunately, the sources you are using do not reflect the true distributions of the plants at all, but merely show a highly confusing map of countries without distinguishing the range from additional non-relevant areas where the plant is only cultivated, not native. A much better source for ranges is USDA GRIN, and IUCN for those species they have so far published information for. The various maps should be corrected to show their true ranges. If you wish to show areas of cultivation in addition to the true range, that should be done in two different tones (e.g. dark green for range, light green for cultivation) so the true range can be clearly seen. - Thanks, MPF 08:37, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Norepinephrine MoleculeTo make the 3D models of molecules, I first used ChemSketch to create the molecule, copy-pasted it into Accelrys DS Visualizer, then took a screen shot of the 3D model, and edited and cropped that in GIMP. It was a lot of work, which is why I stopped making them when I got to college, I just don't have the time anymore... Sbrools ( . ) 18:49, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Better late than neverThanks for sending me a message, unfortunately I was not logged in on that day (Sep. 10th) and I assume any action at this date would not fufill the request. Sorry. Never the less, thank you for contributing to wikipedia maintenance. Happy Editing! Arm 03:43, 24 September 2007 (UTC) Chemistry structure drawingsHi there Thanks for your many images in the articles of amino acids. Perhaps you might want to consider working on the pages at Chemistry_pages_needing_pictures as well? Since fixing images requires time, and that there are only so many man-hours which we can muster, it might be better to fix those articles without images, before improving those less-satisfactory images. You might also want to pop by Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemistry, where you can find many other chemists. --Rifleman 82 08:19, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Image additionHey, thanks for the excellent image of a Thunderegg! That article has been underillustrated for far too long! -Pete 22:25, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Deuterium arc lamp updateHello, I've just recently started editing on Wikipedia and I've started by expanding the stub on deuterium arc lamps. I've noticed you've made several contributions to the Halogen lamp page and I was wondering if you might be able to lend me some advice on things I might want to add, change, etc. Thanks eggles37 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eggles37 (talk • contribs) 00:21, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
ContryphanThanks for your helpful edits to contryphan. The graphic really was a nice addition! Boghog2 22:06, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
AcaciaThanks for the heads up. I don't have a problem with the photo. If the Meadow Argus is a pest of Acacia, it should also be in the text of the pest section (properly cited of course) to tie it to the image. Cheers. ++Arx Fortis 22:43, 24 October 2007 (UTC) Palo Verde Nuclear Generating StationI saw you added the 22 cents per kWh fixed cost for generating electricity at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station. It seems a bit high and I was wondering where you got the data from. Are you sure it's not supposed to be 2.2 cents per kWh? --cassini83 (talk) 01:36, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
I think you took the fixed cost and divided by the total number of kilowatt hours the plant would produce in one year. That's wrong. 3.2 GW average = 28 billion kW-hr/year $5.9 billion construction cost = 0.2107 $/(kWh/year) Fixed cost is a fair bit more complex than that. If we could get these figures that would be great, because one of the differentiators between nuclear and, to take the other extreme, gas turbines, is that nuclear has much lower incremental costs and higher fixed costs. The amortized capital costs of the plant, assuming a 5% long-term capital cost, is $5.9 billion construction cost * 5%/year = $295 million/year => 1.05 cents/kWh But that's not the fixed cost. The fixed cost also includes most of the cost of maintenance and most of the people. The variable costs include the fuel, the marginal increase in maintenance due to full-power operation, and the extra people required to supervise the operating plant. I'm going to take out your calculation, but I would really appreciate it if you could put it back in with better support. I'd rather not put in just the amortized capital cost of the plant, since by itself its probably misleading. Iain McClatchie (talk) 20:23, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Holodomor, picturesThanks for your note. I didn't put it as strongly in my comment in article talk, but censoring images based on perceived sensibilities is a poor editorial choice. The images of the Holocaust shown to schoolchildren put the lie to that approach to history. That said, there isn't unanimity among the sources the article is built upon that Holodomor was unequivocally intentional and solely directed at the Ukrainians, qualifying it as genocide. Yet the scope of Holodomor must be communicated. A single picture, as now, cannot do that no matter how many statistics are quoted in the article. I would pursue this as an effort to objectively portray the horrific scale of the tragedy. The jury may or may not be out on exactly how and why, but the human impact cannot and should not be denied. PētersV (talk) 14:28, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
Bacteria vs BacteriumFYI, "bacteria" can be both singular and plural, much like "data". See Merriam-Webster. So there's no need to change "bacteria" to "bacterium". –panda (talk) 08:03, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
Punctuation before footnoteHi. You edited square Leg so that the punctuation was before the footnote, not after. I have never seen this in the scientific literature (perhaps Nature (journal) would be the judge?). I'll revert unless you can convince me otherwise. Best wishes (insert smiley) Robinh 08:25, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
SuggestionsHi WriterHound, welcome to WikiPpedia and thanks for your contributions. I have a few suggestions that could improve the quality of your edits.
Keep up your good work, and contact me if you have questions :-) Сасусlе 18:33, 8 December 2007 (UTC) Image:Indol-3-ylacetic acid.svgHi WriterHound, I have removed your IAA structure from the indolylacetic acid and plant hormone articles. The structure is incorrect and misses the indole-N1 hydrogen. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemistry/Structure drawing for the guidelines and detailed instructions for drawing proper chemical structures, diagrams, and reaction schemes. There is also a request page for chemical structures. Сасусlе 18:33, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
Cut-and paste moveHi there, I saw that you recently did a cut-and-paste move to the article Echinopsis scopulicola because the target article name already existed, so you couldn't move the article. Note that administrators can move articles in this situation. So if this happens in the future, please make a request for an admin to make the move at requested moves. Thanks.

AfD nomination of Depression and natural therapiesAn editor has nominated Depression and natural therapies, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Depression and natural therapies and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 01:14, 5 January 2008 (UTC) Please checkHi, would you please re-check the characters you added to Rauwolfia serpentina? In the Chinese herbology article both names have 4 characters, and in the new article, one has 4 characters and the other has 3. Badagnani (talk) 04:11, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Would you please check again? The Chinese herbology article has two sets of four characters, and the Rauwolfia serpentina article has a set of 4 and a set of 3. It's important that we're as accurate as possible (and, that when we make a mistake, we correct them). Thanks. Badagnani (talk) 22:26, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
Please fix it, thanks. Badagnani (talk) 02:57, 14 February 2008 (UTC) It would be great if you'd fix it, thanks. Badagnani (talk) 22:24, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
It would be great if you'd fix it. In the Chinese herbology article there are two sets of four characters, and in the Rauwolfia serpentina article, there is one set of three, and one set of four. A character was left out. It would be great if you'd put in the characters exactly as they are in the Chinese herbology article, thanks. Once this is fixed, we can get on to improving other things. Badagnani (talk) 21:34, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
You removed the character (for what reason, I don't know), now please fix it, thanks. Then we can move on to improving the articles. Best, Badagnani (talk) 21:21, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
Cite toolClick the "{Wikify}" link listed under each result. Verisimilus T 11:27, 24 February 2008 (UTC) Quest (RE: safranal/crocin antidepressant study)I'm just wondering if you have the full version of the study cited in the safranal and crocin articles, this ->[1], as it doesn't seem to be published in a peer reviewed scientific journal, rather some sort of magazine. It would be helpful if the full study was cited, because I'm thinking it might be defying WP:VER. --Mark PEA (talk) 23:38, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
Rhodiola roseaThanks, this is a very good herb. Badagnani (talk) 21:50, 15 March 2008 (UTC) image widthI wish you wouldn't keep putting the image width parameter into taxoboxes. You shouldn't over-rule users' thumb size preferences unless you have a compelling reason for doing so. If you want all these images to display at 250px, why not just set your own thumb size preference to 250px? Hesperian 22:39, 18 March 2008 (UTC) Happy First Day of Spring!Happy First Day of Spring!

Plasmodium falciparumSorry if editing the article weblinks took a while. I'm also unclear about what the guidelines/(best practice?) is for links. Wouldn't hiding links make articles vulnerable to advertising, spam, and, a problem I've already encountered, dead links? I would think exposing link addresses would be good! I may try to research this myself, but it's not one of my priorities right now. ;) Chris (cuvtixo) Cuvtixo (talk) 21:53, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Acacia redirectsG'day mate, I propose to delete the following redirects for the following reasons:
Any comments before I go ahead? Hesperian 05:33, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
Acacia melanoxylon an entheogen?Really? --JWB (talk) 13:33, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Dude... the creepy eyes thing has gotta stopIts kinda gratuitous. Use the neutral uw- templates if you need to warn for vandalism, but going around after the fact and tagging the talk pages of blocked users with the eyes is a bit gratuitous, no? --Jayron32.talk.contribs 02:41, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Acacia brunioidesPlease expand thanks Franz Sanchez (talk) 14:27, 9 June 2008 (UTC) "destructive activity of bot"Nope, all it did was made this edit, adding an uncat tag. Seems to me like you're looking for this edit made several weeks ago, which deleted a large chunk of text, and also the categories. (You've also edited the article in the meantime yourself, as it happens.) Alai (talk) 23:25, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
User:WriterHound/HolodomorHi, I don't know if you still have any plans for that draft version, but I hope its alright if I removed the image that is of the 1921 famine in Saratov, not the 1933 one. Regards.--Kuban Cossack 15:51, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Tobacco and healthNot a problem - and I like your latest rewording better anyhow! Nmg20 (talk) 17:30, 10 July 2008 (UTC) help, thanksI happy to see someone else improve the article that I created today! However, I've changed/removed the redlinks to Todd Palin's parents and grandmother. If you intend to write an article, these are appropriate. My first thought would be that they are too obscure to have an article written on them. Even in the unlikely chance (despite the news liking to make it seem close, McCain is going to lose) that Mrs. Palin becomes Vice President, I doubt they will have enough references to justify an article. That's my feeling on the link. Radiomango (talk) 23:29, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
