Hello Circuit-Fantasist, welcome to wikibooks! I've seen your new book, Circuit Idea, and I've added a link to it from the Electric Circuits page. If you need any help with anything, don't hesitate to ask me on m user talk page. --Whiteknight (talk) 15:44, 17 May 2007 (UTC)


 * The dates for Jan 1 2000 are simply default dates, and books where the date is not known are labeled with that date. You are welcome to update them, if you would like . --Whiteknight (talk) 18:26, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Re:Spam Filter
Unfortunately, you can't avoid or override the spam filter. Some links just can't be posted. Sorry. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 19:19, 10 June 2007 (UTC)


 * There was an external link to a geocities page to a "Resistor Color Codes Tutorial" page. This link was setting off the spam filter, so I deleted it. I have also inserted your links to wikipedia. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 13:31, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

welcome
Dear Circuit-fantasist, welcome to Wikibooks.

Thank you for your work on the Circuit Idea wikibook. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know (perhaps by posting to my "user talk" page).

I think you might enjoy some of the things William J. Beaty has written. Wikipedia:User:Wjbeaty, articles about "electricity".

Thank you again.

Have you seen the Electronics/Op-Amps ? It seems almost too simple to actually work, when compared to the complex process that all my electronic books describe. (Generally, they have different-looking formulas for "inverting", "non-inverting", and "summing" configurations -- this method uses the same formula for all of them). --DavidCary 21:23, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Spam filtering
Try it again if you will - maybe fixed! Cheers -- Herby talk thyme 16:34, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok - no! I'll look some more! -- Herby  talk thyme 16:36, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Hum - global blacklisted because of the "122mb" bit. Not got time to look at it for now but it is probably one that might have to stay (being across all wikis rather than just here) - might be a way round it but it will be tomorrow at best -- Herby  talk thyme 16:39, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

OK - the 122mb bit was blacklisted in August 06 but without more time I have no idea why. I've whitelisted it here so it will be ok now - cheers -- Herby talk thyme 07:28, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Circuit Idea Formatting
I added some categories to the bottom of the Circuit Idea page, and in the process I deleted some whitespace. Sorry if that messes up your formatting. Let me know if you need any help. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 17:12, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Page names
I've tagged some pages with since they belong to that book. Please rename these pages to conform with WB:NP, and try to make pages according to the policy in the future. As well, when you move pages, it creates a redirect from the old page to the new page; please mark these with so they can be deleted. Thanks! – Mike.lifeguard  &#124; talk 13:55, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

About Circuit Idea/How to Create Sinusoidal Oscillations
Hello,

Do you have any further plans for Circuit Idea/How to Create Sinusoidal Oscillations? I found it by the merge tag, but right now it looks like just a deprecated copy of an old revision of Circuit Idea/How do We Create Sinusoidal Oscillations?, so there wouldn't be anything to be actually merged.

Thanks, Duplode (talk) 17:03, 19 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I have not checked my talk. Yes, you are right, as far as I can remember, How to create... is abandoned version because of the title. IMO, it has just to be deleted.


 * I would like to ask you whether you like this story about creating sinusoidal oscillations. If so, please, restore the link to this page that I placed on LC circuit Wikipedia page a year ago (see the old version). I have problems with a few wikipedians that remove systematically my Wikipedia edits and links to these Wikibooks stories (see for example this talk page where my user name is Circuit dreamer). Circuit-fantasist (talk) 17:46, 1 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for clarifying the status of "How to...", I will change the templates in the duplicate to speedy deletion.


 * As for the Wikipedia issues, sorry but I would prefer to abstain from entering a content dispute in this way, specially one about a subject in which I am no specialist. Exactly because I am not a specialist, though, I feel I am in a position to humbly suggest you to look at this conflict from a different perspective. From what I can read from the arguments, the rejection of your contributions at Wikipedia has more to do with editorial divergences rather than factual accuracy. Your (forgive me for this reductionist description) analogy/abstraction-based approach to teaching electronics is certainly interesting and has didactic merit. For it to be properly developed, however, it needs a calm, measured pacing of text and a well-developed "narrative" to provide context; and a Wikipedia article is just too terse a medium for that to happen. In essence, then, what I am suggesting is that you leave behind those stressful arguments at Wikipedia and focus on Wikibooks, where you have more space and leeway to properly structure your approach to teaching circuits.
