ultrasonic welding

Hi Duk,

I'm working on the ultrasonic welding article. I've been trying to add more information and make the site more factual. I'd like to add some visuals to the ultrasonic welding article but am having trouble finding pictures that aren't copyrighted. Also, I'd like to add some more information about process parameters. I noticed that you have done some editing on this article and was wondering if you would take a look.

Thanks, Marylee23 (talk) 14:56, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Marylee23, I'm not really active at wikipedia for the time being, but thanks for the invite and keep up the good work. The article is coming along nicely. --Duk 10:04, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

City of Dreams deletion

Hi Duk,

I am not sure why you thought my info on the "City of Dreams" is spam.

Misplaced Pages has info on other hotel casinos that are currently in development, such as CityCenter in Las Vegas: http://en.wikipedia.org/Citycenter

You probably are not aware, but Macau takes in more gambling revenue than Las Vegas, so actually, the Las Vegas development information on CityCenter is for a smaller market than Macau.

If the policy is to not provide info on hotels that are currently under construction, than the Las Vegas CityCenter info should also be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shockedinvegas (talk • contribs) 16:44, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi Shockedinvegas, If you want to write an article about your hotel please choose an appropriate name like 'City of Dreams (hotel)'. See City of Dreams for examples (I've reworked the page into a disambiguation list). If it reads like spam (again) it will be deleted. --Duk 16:03, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

RFA thanks

Thanks for your support in my RFA, that didn't quite make it and ended at 120/47/13. There was a ton of great advice there, that I'm going to go on. Maybe someday. If not, there are articles to write! Thanks for your support. Lawrence § t/e 17:49, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

STBotI unblocked

I've unblocked the bot because it seems to be working just fine; if you have a problem with its operation, it needs to be brought up with the user in a civil manner before admin tools are used. I realize you've tried this, however I've taken a look at the example you gave (Image:BanqiaoDamAfterFailure.jpg) and I don't see a rationale there. I might have tagged that myself if I was picky enough, and I can certainly understand how a functioning bot would mistake that for useless text. "Educational use" is incredibly vague and does not explain why we're allowed to use it. Please, if you are having issues with the bot and are having difficulties working with the operator, try WP:DR or bring it up at WP:ANI for wider attention. Thanks. Hersfold 18:13, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

  1. What about the other four examples I gave?
  2. You're arguing over the quality of the rationale, fine, but bots may not make that judgment.
  3. Your unblock note said 'try talking with the user'. I did. He called me stupid. But I kept on for another twelve hours? Did you miss that. --Duk 22:50, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
