Dear Tetracube,
Thanks for your message, though my intention was by no means motivated by advertising/promotion to post the link on the Heptatis C virus page. I thought that it would be a legitimately quality overview of the virus for visitors. A friend of mine made it (and the SmartyMaps application) and it seems like something that would be quite useful in communicating spatial and physical relationships such as the structure of a virus. What do you think?

Oops... Sorry about that on the periodic table.... I forgot to look at the talk page. That was really stupid. It was a good reminder to look on the talk page though. Yankeesrule3 ( talk) 01:26, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi- One concern about the edits you made to the denitrification page - you took the capitals out of Genus names for the genre listed, and this is scientifically incorrect. (This is listed in the tutorial section.) No quibble about having puntuation before references - I prefer it that way - I just had a "heated discussion" on this subject with my academic advisor on the correct way to do this, and he insists that ref.s go inside the punctuation...SIGH...just can't win sometimes! ````
I thought you had graduated...how dare you not admit that you are part of the "alumni"! DMacks ( talk) 18:56, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
Was it even discussed? I'm not violently opposed, but it bothers me a little. It's not "lookup" number info, but really something more basic. Certainly as basic as anything else in the lede. Could we perhaps duplicate it? Or put just the IPA in the infobox and leave the phonetic in the lede? S B H arris 18:23, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
The lead sentence should be high impact (giving a very quick orientation and explanation of a topic that may be 20 pages+ long. It should also be extremely clear and inviting. IPA cruftiness is extremely NOT needed in that first sentence. Much better places to put it (if it really matters discuss etymology and such in text...or use the infobox). At the extreme example, we have people loading down the first sentence with roadbumps of Arabic, Chinese, IPA, and Eyptian hyroglyphics. Blech. 66.16.76.229 ( talk) 20:32, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
I failed to find the process to perform a rotation about a point different from the origin in the article, and thought that article was well written and potentially useful for others looking for the same thing. Did I miss something in the article? Otherwise I think it does add value. Cheers, Waldir talk 19:45, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi Tetracube
I respectfully disagree with your reorganization [1] as I find that structure and preparation are two distinct threads. -- Rifleman 82 ( talk) 19:14, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
I see.... well it really seems to be that simple. I've rearranged it to be more aligned with WP:CHEMMOS, please take a look. -- Rifleman 82 ( talk) 22:11, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
Good job! Thanks! -- Rifleman 82 ( talk) 04:37, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
I noticed that you reverted a good faith edit by an anonymous editor. He clarified it, because it could be construed by the current revision that some elements with more than one stable isotope are less electronegative than caesium. His revision stated that it was the least electronegative stable element, which has only one isotope BTW. This is just my opinion. -- Chemicalinterest ( talk) 18:25, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
I´m sorry, it was not my intention to do it. I was rewriting the history of the sulphuric acid and maybe I accidentally deleted the template. Thanks for the advice, and I promiss it won´t happen again.I´ll reinsert the information but keep the template-- Knight1993 ( talk) 20:45, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi Tetracube. IMHO it was wrong to revert all addition of an external link to a page on the website of the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry as spam. On WP:EL I do not find any reason against e.g. the addition in Ethion or Disulfoton. I see, however, that in articles already containing many external links, such mass additions are useless. I would appreciate if you could re-think your reverts yourself and maybe explain to this new user, where the addition of external links makes sense and where it does not. -- Leyo 22:10, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles ( talk) 18:04, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
It's not necessarily vandalism. 109.5° is near 109° 28′, which could have been what was intended. The exact value seems to be 109° 28′ 16.394″ , or 109.47122°. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 21:06, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
You have previously contributed to the Abstract polytope article. If you feel able, please contribute to the discussion on Notation, where I am hoping to resolve a long-standing dispute. Many thanks in anticipation. — Cheers, Steelpillow ( Talk) 14:47, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
Hi Tetracube,
I added a summary coordinate table for 24-cell family at: Uniform_polychoron#Coordinates_3. I changed the format a bit, split sqrt(2) terms to a second vector.
First I'm wondering how you derived these? The hypercube family is much nicer, readable from the CD diagram. I wondered if there's any better representation that makes the derivation more obvious?
ALSO, I'm curious if you ever looked at the demihypercube family. For 4D, there's no new uniform polytopes, but there are new ones at 5D and higher, and it would nice to have simple coordinates for them, if you wanted a challenge.
And if you're really interested in a challenge sometime, perhaps look at the E6,E7,E8 families - simple coordinates in 8-space. For E8 I derived a few by brute search from the 4_21 polytope coordinates, like 1_42_polytope and 2_41_polytope. And there's 3_21_polytope in 7D with coordinates from Coxeter. I don't have any for E6 polytopes.
Maybe you've noticed I've been doing n-simplex uniform truncations with ( Coxeter plane) graphs using the simple coordinates from hypercube diagonal faces, like 5-simplex#Related_uniform_5-polytopes.
Thanks for any help! Tom Ruen ( talk) 23:05, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
Hi Tetracube - I think I've deduced the coordinates for all the Dk family polytopes, tested on D3,D4, writen up at User_talk:Tomruen#Deriving_coordinates_from_Coxeter-Dynkin_diagrams. Tom Ruen ( talk) 18:50, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi Tetracube. I tried to inductively expand the 24-cell family coordinates from both symmetry direction. It looked like the lower 2 mirrors and upper to mirrors (around the 4) worked as two different points (like Bk family), although I don't follow the generation pattern exactly. Can you take a look and see if it makes sense? I've not tried computing with them yet. User:Tomruen/temp2 Tom Ruen ( talk) 06:47, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
Very pretty: (thanks to your coordinates) Tom Ruen ( talk) 02:37, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Hey TC, I'm finally getting around to rendering some new animations. Clifford torus was the first, but I may be able to finally do the 120-cell and 600-cell, along with truncated/snub versions of some of those. In fact, I should be able to render anything that I can get my hands on a VEF file for. Any recommendations/sources I should check out? JasonHise ( talk) 08:58, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Please note in future that the UK pronunciation of "iron" has no /r/. "Ion" and "iron" are homophones in RP.

I recently picked up supercube stickers for my 3×3×3, 4×4×4 and 5×5×5 cubes and it occurred to me that the relevant permutation sections don't list the increased possibilities that result. Computing them is simple enough, but I'd like a second opinion as to whether they're necessary.
I also thought about using the "hidden" template so that the unabridged numbers only show up if a person clicks "show." Hellbus ( talk) 22:35, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
I think I have the parity restrictions on the 4×4×4 and 5×5×5 supercubes figured out. The 3×3×3 supercube permutations are already in that article.
On the 4×4×4 the center parity is unaffected by the edge parity, but is affected by corner parity. Turning an inner slice causes an odd permutation of the edges and an even permutation of the centers. Turning an outer slice causes odd permutations of the corners and centers and an even permutation of the edges. Thus, the corner and edge permutations remain the same, while the center permutations go from 24!/4!6 to 24!/2.
The 5×5×5 has a greater number of restrictions. The fixed center parity is the same as the 3×3×3. The edge-center parity is tied to the outer edges. Turning an inner (but not central) slice causes an odd permutation of the edge-centers and outer edges and an even permutation of the corner-centers. Although it is possible to swap two middle edges and two corners, it does not appear to be possible to swap two edge-centers and two corner-centers with the rest of the cube solved. An odd permutation of the corner-centers only occurs if the fixed centers have an odd number of 90-degree twists. Thus, the permutations of each set go from 24!/4!6 to 24!/2, with the total being the square of the latter figure.
Clear as mud? :) Hellbus ( talk) 23:08, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi Tetracube, thanks for the welcome. I have a question.
Two days ago I added a neutral statement to the page of The Grasshopper Company. I added, "Grasshopper Mowers became a national advertiser on the Rush Limbaugh radio program during the large sponsor exodus following the Sandra Fluke controversy." I went to look at the page today and my edit has been undone by user Msimmon201.
It's possible Msimmon201 is associated with the company and doesn't like this piece of information being publicized, but it is a simple truth presented in a factual and neutral way. What can/should I do about his/her undoing of my edit? I do not wish to start an edit war but I see no reason why Msimmon201 should be allowed to undo my edit.

Greetings Tetracube,
I am looking for an experienced Wikipedian to contribute an article for our band Mr. Meeble. I have checked and we meet the Wikipedia "notability" guidelines for a band. We have a very basic Wikipedia article written already, but I know that someone like yourself may be able to point out our formatting errors and critical omissions. You can hear our music and see our videos here:

Let me know if you would be willing to help!

Thoughts on including sections and articles on these? On the one hand their designs clearly copy heavily from the V-Cube patent, but on the other hand theirs are the only 8- and 9-layer cubes widely available. They also make 6- and 7-layer cubes and my initial impression from the ones I have is that they actually improve somewhat on the V-Cube design. I can calculate the permutations for the 8 and 9 easily enough, though I'd have a hard time finding a reference for it. Also, nearly every review I've read of these puzzles has been in the form of a Youtube video, which is also in a bit of a gray area with regard to reference usability. The 6 and 7 layer cubes could go in as sections in the V-Cube 6 and V-Cube 7 articles, respectively. Thoughts? Hellbus ( talk) 03:05, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
