Eagle, I notice that you reverted a change that I made to Jedi Vampire Lauwe Chhon's user page. I inadvertantly added a welcome notice to his user page instead of the right place, his talk page and hence I removed it. You quickly revert my change (putting back the welcome message to the wrong place, the user page). You can easily see from the history that I put in the welcome msg and removed it once I realised it went to the wrong spot. Could you please look a bit more carefully before reverting changes in future. Thanks. novacatz 03:11, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
Can you ensure that when you leave a message for someone it is left on thier talk page not their user page? If for no other reason than if you leave it on their talk page they'll see it immediately or when they nect come online.

I've no idea, to be honest. I haven't kept up with admin-related things for a while, and even less so since desysopping. Hazarding a guess, I'd say probably that particular page is only there for "historical" reasons, but you could always ask the user themselves. Rob Church Talk 00:27, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
In answer to your question, I suppose it all depends on your definition of strength, doesn't it? It is gravity that drives fusion, is it not? Is there not a much larger energy yield from fusion than from fission? The nuclear strong forces lose all influence outside the individual nuclei, unless released in a catastrophic fashion, but even then nature makes little use of that force. Nature builds stars and steers entire galaxies with gravity. So how can we say that gravity is the weakest force? The reach of gravity is immense and it can can crush matter into nothingness. The power of the nucleus is puny by comparison.

Here again, it is a matter of perspective. Were I to conduct such an experiment here on earth, the magnet would pull such objects "away" from the earth, but then they would still be riding on the surface of the earth and would still be swinging around the sun. Both of those latter affects brought to us by the courtesy of gravity.
Gravity has a vastly broader reach and it touches everything, not just somethings. My view then, is that gravity is the single most powerful force in the universe. This does not mean that we will not discover something even more powerful in the future, but if we do, I'll give you long odds that it is even subtler than gravity.
It is a very Zen-like condition.

Good job on the Coffee service article! The last time i viewed it, it was more like an advert (hence the copyedit tag put onto it)... but after your edits it seems better now.
Again, great editing job. Thanks from a fellow Wikipedia user!

Hey thats great! Could you make your edit summary a bit briefer though, otherwise keep up the good work! Martin 21:40, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi! Good to see you doing a bit of stub sorting. You could help a little further with one or two of them... over 100 countries now have their own separate geo-stub templates, so (for instance) Indonesian islands or Polish towns can be marked with indonesia-geo-stub or poland-geo-stub. It just saves a little work in sorting them a bit further later. keep up the good work :) Grutness... wha? 00:42, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi Eagle, I've just noticed your change to the Arrondissement of Bar-sur-Aube page. I'm in the process of updating all arrondissement pages, and while I'm mainly focussing on the canton page links, I'm happy to also make any changes to the ordering and naming of categories and stubs. Are you changing these to a standard layout? Just let me know, adn I'll be happy to assist. Kiwipete 23:44, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi thanks for having a look at the books stub catagories. I left a note about this on the category talk page category talk:Book stubs.
While you appear to have some interest we are relaunching the Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels and I was wondering if you would be interested to get envolved. We are still at the early stages and there is plenty of scope to influence things and lend a hand with setting up of standards and tools for Novel article writers. And also to tune into writing good articles as well. Well anyway you would be most welcome. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page) 10:09, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your response, mostly we need fresh ideas and enthusiasm. However stub sorting and recategorising is always useful. I have done a bit of this myself, but there is always room for more hands. Also you could consider signing up on the project page Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels and also adding {{ User WikiProject Novels}} on you own page. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page) 08:39, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
I'm not sure about pop stubs... I've sorted some of them into rock, personally. I don't feel knowledgable enough in the area though, so I was waiting until someone with a more firm opinion came along (eg. possibly from Wikipedia:WikiProject Music. -- Interiot 06:29, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Not quite sure where you mean to one link that might confuse is that on the catgery pages to the infoboxneeded and infoboxincomp items which point to where the Infobox Book documentation can be found and that is right as it is on the talk page. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page) 09:37, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
I agree except that as we share the infobox use with many others - and also particularly with the WikiProject Books, we will need to get concensus on this. Purhaps you might to raise this issue with them and start a hopefully short discussion on if we can do this. Also we might not bae able to get it a mandatory as Non-Fiction books might have a Category but not use the description "Genre". Purhaps we could have two "optional" fields one "Subject" and one "Genre". Being optional that will allow the changes to be made (if agreed fairly safely and quickly) with out upseting existing usages. Try raising this on the WP Books talk pages first as see what response you get. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page) 09:44, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
currently the place is the Main project pages "Talk" page but some projects find this a bit cumbersom confusing discussion of the "Main page" itself and general project issues. Some projects have a specific project sub-page for the purpose of "General Project" discussion. Ideas and constructive project wide criticism go there. What do you think? :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page) 09:47, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
I have added a more prominent link to the General Forum on the project page and resequenced the WPNOVELS template. How does that look? :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page) 16:58, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Saw your comment on someone else's talk page about some thing on mine. Usually all of this is just fine, talking on talk pages are for the consumption of the user and the other party, if fact that is exactly what they are for. The only thing worth adding is that if the subjest is of or becomed of general interest the talk should go on the relevant article or in this case perhaps on the appropriate project page. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page) 08:52, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
Please be careful about using automated or semi-automated tools. The book-stub on the Grumbles from the Grave page is apropriate, and the novel-stub that you inserted is not. If you read the article, you would easily see that the book is a collection of letters. It is not a novel. Hu 02:19, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
