User talk:Metageek

Your fix of my theocratical error made me laugh. I don't like the word myself. I would prefer "At 3.2 GHz the SPU obtains a peak arithmetical performance of xxx". It's not a standard usage. There's need to be some word there to indicate it's a number you'll never see in the real world. Any suggestions? "arithmetical upper bound" would be the most precise usage. On another note, I had the same difficulty quoting EIB bandwidth. I came up with instantaneous bandwidth to describe the bandwidth not limited by the address exchange mechanism. Later I found an obscure Krolak ref. where he uses the same word. He actually states that the instant. bandwidth can be obtained (briefly) peaking above 300 MB/s. The normal bandwidth figure quoted is the peak sustained streaming bandwidth. I'm not sure I used that term, it's cumbersome. It's hard work naming all the different numbers you can come up with by various methods. MaxEnt 02:01, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback Request![edit]

I noticed you made some contributions to the laptop article I was wondering if you wouldn't mind reviewing my article Qosmio and posting any feedback you might have. I am particularly looking for feedback on any relevant information you think I should include or formatting issues.

Kangaroo leather[edit]

Firstly I would like to draw your attention to Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers - we were all new to wikipedia once. It is also essential to assume good faith. Certainly the article on kangaroo leather needs improving, as do many other articles on wikipedia. As to the article on kangaroo meat, some changes have been reverted - ie the removal of references to the eating of kangaroo by aboriginals including the drinking of blood. Other references have been removed by other editors (including me) because they were unreferenced and were in violation of our policy on verifiability and also our policy on no original research. Those policies apply to all articles on wikipedia, these two included.

Anybody is welcome to contribute to wikipedia and to add material - if you wish to add "something built on actual research" - do so - ie see Template:Sofixit.

Whether the release of this copyrighted info complies with GFDL compatibility will be up to the person who reviews the OTRS case. Regards Matilda ^talk 21:41, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
