Hi, I noticed you have uploaded a right arrow for chemical equations. Have you considered using the appropriate Unicode symbols See http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/arrows.html for some examples. You can code them like this:
: Or use TeX, writing x ightarrow y leftarrow z leftrightarrow w you see x ightarrow y leftarrow z leftrightarrow w, if you like :) 10:53, 3 Sep 2003 (UTC)
And herein lies the problem: I see nothing with either of those! (d oh!) That s why I uploaded the arrow, it s the only guaranteed way.

You have done a good job making some pages involving page. You may add more advanced characteristics if you have any not mentioned on that page.)
Thanks for adding extra articles to List of tornadoes and tornado outbreaks. The reason the articles you added weren t on there is that I could not find much info on these particular tornado events. I may need a little help on The Nashville Tornado of 1933. I am not familiar with this event!

= How much have you done =
Please read slowly and carefully:
With your editing of pages for List of radio stations in Georgia (U.S. state), you did a good job switching back to articles with FM in the article. However, you didn t do this to ALL of the stations. Here is a list of the same radio stations mentioned on that page, only with whether the main article (that is, the one that s not a re-direct) has FM in its name:
And here s something else to say, which is that I want to see if you know any stations for Albany, Georgia, where only one station is present. Before you do so, please make sure you are mentioning the basic characteristics of the station (See the Discuss this page part of the Georgia radio stations article for what characteristics are basic and what are advanced.) If you have any advanced characteristics, you may put them on an article for the station itself. User 66.32.149.146
= WNNX page =

You re sure about all those MF broadcast stations in the US having the suffix -AM on their callsigns 09:24, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)
=AM=
It is NEVER correct for an AM station to have the suffix -AM , and it is only correct for a TV or FM station to have a suffix if there are other stations operating with the same call letters. For example, KMOV (TV channel 4) in St. Louis is legally licensed as KMOV. NOT as KMOV-TV since there are no other KMOVs in the country. At one time, the same station operated as KMOX-TV and was licensed as KMOX-TV. This was necessary to distinguish the TV station from the AM station (which is KMOX, NOT KMOX-AM). See the page http://earlyradiohistory.us/3myst.htm for some more information. I hope this clears things up. 16:05, 4 May 2004 (UTC)

I m sorry, but I must strongly disagree with your move of the Flatiron Building to Flatiron Building (New York). The Flatiron Building in New York is by far the most famous, the article should link there. Philadelphia links to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Flatiron Building should link to Flatiron Building. The standarad for a disambiguation page is for a redirect to go to the most outstanding article automatically with a link to a disambig. at the top.
The Flatiron Building in New York is thought by many architects to be one of the most distinctive buildings in the world, I have never seen the ones in Atlanta or Toronto referred to in that way. Also have you discussed moving the page on some wikiproject talk page, I m not aware of If not please don t move enitre pages without discussing it at relevant talk page.

I don t understand the need to move this article. A television network is a network of stations, not just a studio with a satellite uplink. I don t care what you call yourself, you re not a network if you only have one node. Certainly plenty of cable channels call themselves networks to make themselves sound significant, but that doesn t make them television networks.
In any case I d think a move like this would have necessitated some discussion first. 17:07, Jun 22, 2004 (UTC)

= -TV =
I have moved all the Atlanta -TV articles (except for WSB) to the four-letter call signs, with redirects to people who have typed -TV. There was a naming system in effect beforehand, with television stations just keeping the four call letters in the official article name. 02:16, Jul 2, 2004 (UTC)
:There is no reason that those articles need to be at -TV, for two reasons:
1) There are already articles without the -TV, so different articles on the same thing do not need to have some with nothing and some with -TV.
2) I did not redirect WSB because the -TV is necessary to differentiate from the -FM and -AM. Please do not change any more of these. It s in the interests of conformity. Reply on my talk page as soon as you get this message. 02:36, Jul 2, 2004 (UTC)
::I saw what you did with WGCL. I feel dumb now. You re not going to do it to articles that don t need differentiating, are you 02:38, Jul 2, 2004 (UTC)
I say keep the callsigns the way they are, if there are no other radio or television stations with the same call letters. ( 14:51, Jul 2, 2004 (UTC)
:I prefer accuracy over consistency and don t like what is doing. The FCC database is easy enough to access and is the only official guide to callsigns. I think it is fine to have a redirect from WZZZ to WZZZ-TV if the station is licensed as WZZZ-TV and is the only WZZZ in operation, but the article should remain at WZZZ-TV if WZZZ-TV is how the station is licensed. This makes it easier if some other WZZZ were to become operational in the future. :On the other hand, if a TV station were to be licensed as WZZZ (no -TV), then the article should be at WZZZ. As long as a TV is operating as WZZZ, the FCC will not assign those call letters to any other station (AM, FM or TV) unless WZZZ would first agree to a change (to WZZZ-TV, for example). :Finally, it is important to realize that AM stations never have a suffix, but TV and FM stations may or may not. The only way to know is to look it up. Just my 2 cents. -- 22:45, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)
This appears to be the biggest debate on what the best article title of a Wikipedia article is, even bigger than the one on 23:28, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)
:I didn t think it would cause so much...whatever this all is. In any case, if it s that important to either of you, I will abide by whatever you deem fit. 23:29, Jul 2, 2004 (UTC)
Actually, AM stations can and do have -AM suffixes. However, this is rare, since most AM stations pre-date most FM and TV stations. The lack of -AM suffixes is therefore de facto (by being first) and not de jure (by law or FCC).
Lets add another situation here: 01:56, 2004 Jul 3 (UTC)
:Personally, when I have been writing articles for stations that share calls and are part of the same group , I have been putting information for all of the stations into the same article. I know this isn t the ideal way to solve the problem, but it works. See WCOL or WBNS for examples. I m open to suggestions from you or anyone else on changes/improvements to what I am doing. Obviously, what I am doing now isn t appropriate for situations such as WSTR. :As for -AM stations having suffixes, I was not aware that there were any stations that had them. I had been told by a friend in the industry that AM was considered default and was never used as a suffix, even when multiple stations shared callsigns. I can certainly see situations where the -AM suffix would be useful, even if not the norm. -- 21:00, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Metonymy , eh That s what I like about wikipedia - I learn something new every day.
However, may I suggest that if you add an unusual term like that to an article, it should be defined within the article, rather than requiring people to click to another article to find out what it means. I swiped a phrase from the article and added it to Inside the Beltway. (Of course, unusual is subjective!)
Also, I removed a few of the links you put into 19:01, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
= Fruitcake =
You have created too many links. This makes the text hard to read. Many of your links are to non-existent pages. What s the point We can assume that readers know the definition of most common nouns. They can look up words if if there is no link supplied. Linking to every noun just doesn t make sense. Carried a little further and you ll have linked every word.
I honestly believe that most readers won t need links to honey, rasin, celebration, wedding, Christmas, seeds, spices, sugar, concentration, Europe, harvest, luck, year, law, holidays, England, 19th century, Mail order, 1913, 18th century, bakery, gifts, mailed, friends, butter, dough, saturated, alcoholic, liqueur, management, powdered sugar, mold, brandy, wine, linen, store, age, ridiculed, food, jokes, shelf life, family, writer, theory, Denver, questions, recyled, meters, insult, individuals, insane, 1821, expression, and 1935.

Really, there s no need for a link to friends. The link is to the television show!

Hi Radiojon - curious why you keep on insisting on putting various items back that I change to try to improve the page: 1. Virginia Pine doesn t have sharper needles than other pines like Scots Pine (and a lot less sharp than some trees I ve seen sold as christmas trees, like Sitka Spruce) 2. A few less-traditional conifers are also being produced, such as cedar and juniper, often in a container and sometimes as topiary for a porch or patio - this section looks like it refers to real trees, so why keep moving it back into the artificial trees section Or are they artificial trees made to look like cedars and junipers. Also if you re talking about real trees, no grower would ever grow cedars as christmas trees, they re too expensive to produce, and the needles drop off far too quickly, long before almost any other conifer would. 3. Links - what on earth is the point of adding links for so many words like gimmick As I see you ve had pointed out several times earlier on your talk page, too many links clutters things up and leaves it a lot less readable, and if not checked, may lead to inappropriate or irrelevant pages (try some of these links!!). Links should only be used where they help, not to every third or fourth word. 4. Skirts - why would anyone wrap a piece of cloth round a christmas tree It would hide the lower part of the tree from view, which defeats the point of having it. 5. Even since dripless candles, electric lights and artificial trees have been used replacing Even when . . . - your wording suggests candles are no longer used, which is not true (see the photo!). BTW there s no such thing as a dripless christmas tree candle (even if the manufacturer claims they are, they still drip!). 6. Why so insistent on the scrap of fabric wording, as if people deliberately went out of their way to find the nastiest old rag in the house to use 21:44, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I believe the theory in having the Broadcast category under the Television category is that Television is being used here in its broadest sense, as pertaining to any kind of electronic moving video, rather than in the sense of strictly RF broadcast television.

Because of this, the article s todolist is no longer connected to the article. Page moves don t automatically move all of the subpages. 13:49, May 3, 2005 (UTC)
= Have you noticed this yet =
Remember the rule you made in August 2004 about the difference between -FM or -TV and (FM) or (TV) in a Wikipedia article on an Atlanta broadcasting station However, about a week ago, a user ( 20:15, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
:I was attempting to make the stations consistent with what has been the practice across most of the other U.S. radio/TV markets radio station names. When people are looking up a radio or TV station, they will most likely type in a four-letter callsign, without a suffix (and especially without a (FM) at the end). Wikipedia s normal policy is to put articles under the most commonly-used name. There is some disambiguation needed when callsigns are duplicated. In most cases on Wikipedia, the standard has been to move stations to WXYZ (AM) , WXYZ-FM , and WXYZ-TV (with a few other oddities like -CA, etc.). The reason for the parenthesis-encapsulated (AM) instead of using -AM is because the FCC does not officially recognize -AM as a suffix. When articles are created for FM stations with (FM) , there is a strong chance that a duplicate article will be created later, either just as a four-letter call, or with a -FM suffix. (That being said, there are some cases where a (FM) or even (TV) name is called upon, since there are occasions where an FM station doesn t have a suffix, but a TV station does.. This is unusual, however.) — 19:49, May 14, 2005 (UTC)

Only one [http://www.google.com/searchq=sandy+spring&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official] It needs to be disambiged. Today, tomorow. Spring and Springs are close enough they need to be in the same disambig page. 14:53, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
*As long as there is any difference between two names, even just 17:58, 2005 May 9 (UTC)
:That is incorrect. Disambiguation pages are used when there is a risk of confusion. First paragraph. Sandy Spring or Sandy Springs can very certainly, and often are, confused (a simple google search will show). I also find it hard to beleive there is only two places in the entire world with these names. In fact there is an actual historic Spring here called Sandy Spring, which different from the town, im sure there are other such examples, with a little searching. These should be disambiged. 18:22, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

= Inductive lighting and sulfur lamps =
You define inductive lighting as a fluorescent technology, yet you include sulfur lamps in the category. Sulfur lamps do not produce light by fluorescing. The light comes from a glowing plasma. Sulfur lamps are grouped together with inductive fluorescent lamps because they are both electrodeless. I m not sure the term inductive can be applied to sulfur lamps. From what I have read, induction lamps use electromagnetic induction to generate a magnetic field in an induction coil. None of this is true for sulfur lamps. Sulfur lamps produce light from sulfur heated to the plasma state.
You also list sulfur lamps as having phosphors in the article on radiofluoresce. Nothing I have read about sulfur lamps ever mentions the use of phosphors. Can you clarify these things for me Thanks.

= Hurricane articles =
The standard is, if all the storms for a name were tropical storms, it goes under Tropical Storm X . If even one reached hurricane strength, we use Hurricane X . You d have a *lot* of articles to move, and frankly, this makes more sense - a LOT more people are going to search for Hurricane X than Tropical Storm X . -- July 8, 2005 00:15 (UTC)
