Hey there

I saw that you did alt text for another user at the severe weather project, so I was wondering if you could fix the alt text for 2007 Groundhog Day tornado outbreak. This was left on the talk page about it. Richard ( talk) 19:25, 20 January 2010 (UTC) reply

Hey SGBailey are you there? Richard ( talk) 00:02, 31 January 2010 (UTC) reply
Richard - I'll contemplate looking at it in a few months time. (It isn't a NO, but don't count on it being a YES). -- SGBailey ( talk) 11:03, 31 January 2010 (UTC) reply

k-section of an angle

Angle a to be trisected
Angle a to be trisected

Hi, thanks for pointing out the nice link with the mechanical method for angle trisection. It suggests the following variation, that can be generalized for k-secting an angle. Suppose in the figure AB, BC, CD are k=3 segments of a carpenter's ruler, with A and B fixed, and D sliding on the orizontal line till A C D are collinear. Then, as shown in the link, the angle in D is 1/3 the angle in B.

This generalizes using a carpenter's ruler with k equal segments, call them A0A1, A1A2,...,Ak-1Ak. Keep A:=A0 and B:=A1 fixed as before, and make the Ai with odd index i >1 slide on the orizontal line till they reach a position such that all the Ai with even index i are on the same straight line that meets the horizontal line on the point Ak. Then the angle in Ak is 1/k the angle in A1. -- pm a 00:01, 3 March 2010 (UTC) reply

Western Sahara on the World Cup map

Western Sahara is the same gray as the other countries. It's probably just because its surrounded by the orange color that makes it look darker. But actually, Western Sahara isn't recognized by FIFA and isn't in a conference, though its sort of in the N.F.-Board. So for example, it'd be wrong to put it in orange like the rest of Africa since it'd have to be a FIFA member first.-- Patrick { oѺ} 01:23, 13 June 2010 (UTC) reply

The article Go proverb has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Does not seem notable in and of itself, especially in current state. Not a plausible redirect.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{ dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{ dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
