User talk:WhiteDragon

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

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.

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.

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)
