Unsourced, errors

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Real and imaginary parts, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. You also added a contradiction: "... the imaginary part is the real number multiplied by the imaginary unit. The imaginary part is just the real number - not including the imaginary unit". Please don't do that. I have reverted your edit and I suggest you first propose changes like this on the article's talk page. See wp:BRD. I did a similar thing with your edit on Lorentz transformation. - DVdm (talk) 12:44, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

DVdm: Thanks for the welcome, actually I have been on wikipedia for some time but no-one has noticed me (except one person I will not mention). Like I care anyway - I'll just edit, not look for credit (non-intensional ryhme). Please see the talk page of real and imaginary parts, and the lorentz transforms talk page. Thanks again, F=q(E+v^B) (talk) 21:33, 25 November 2011 (UTC). — Preceding unsigned comment added by F=q(E+v^B) (talk • contribs)

Lunatic sinebot

WHY THE FECK DOES THIS "AUTOSIGN SINEBOT" KEEP ACCUSING ME OF NOT SIGNING MY NAME "USING 4 TILDES"????? I DO THAT EVERY TIME ON A TALK PAGE.

F=q(E+v^B) (talk) 23:02, 25 November 2011 (UTC)<---SEE???????????????

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 23:33, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

As said, I genuinley and actually do that, and already knew this..... I type four tildes ( ~~~~ ) and still the message comes up every now and then. Its really irritating. I knew that signing is done on talk/user etc pages from day 1 - its not like I didn't know until just now. I'll calm down. If its you, please stop it because I definitley sign posts in the way required.--F=q(E+v^B) (talk) 23:56, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

I added the template to stop sinebot signing my "unsigned" comments. Thanks sinebot for at least providing the template. Btw yes I know sinebot is a bot, Slakr is the actual user.--F=q(E+v^B) (talk) 18:18, 5 December 2011 (UTC)<---LOOK AT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sig suggestion

Why not display your sig a proper formula: — F = q(E + v × B)

Here's the code to put in your preferences. (Make sure to tick "Treat the above as wiki markup.")

<span class="texhtml">— [[User:F=q(E+v^B)|'''F''' = ''q'']]([[User talk:F=q(E+v^B)|'''E''' + '''v''' × '''B''']])</span>

— Edokter (talk) — 18:45, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Ehh... The formula is supposed to be:

$\mathbf {F} =q\left(\mathbf {E} +\mathbf {v} \wedge \mathbf {B} \right)\rightleftharpoons \mathbf {F} =q\left(\mathbf {E} +\mathbf {v} \times \mathbf {B} \right)$

which is the electromagnetic (Lorentz) force on a charged partcle of charge q in a electric field E and magnetic field B travelling at velocity v. The wedge/circumflex $\wedge$/^ and times/cross/multiply (etc.) $\times$ symbols are used interchangabley for the vector cross product. I couldn't use the times symbol for the name. The wedge/circumflex is not supposed to be a power. Thanks for your suggestion though.

Furthermore thanks very much for your help on those templates! You and Nageh deserve pretty much most of the credit for creating those! --F=q(E+v^B) (talk) 19:25, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Ah, my mistake. I'm not a math person, but I do well in HTML :) I changed the code to match the formula. Glad you like the templates. — Edokter (talk) — 19:40, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Yes, i'll make use of what you provided as well! I'm not brilliant at html myself, so I just sign using the button on the editor panel. Good to know you're good at what I am not!

Speaking of which, what do you mean by "tick: Treat the above as wiki markup"? I can't simply paste:

<span class="texhtml">— [[User:F=q(E+v^B)|'''F''' = ''q'']]([[User talk:F=q(E+v^B)|'''E''' + '''v''' × '''B''']])</span>?

cheers again =) --F=q(E+v^B) (talk) 19:47, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Go to "My preferences" (link on top of page). There you can paste the code in the signature box, tick the wiki markup box and hit Save. After that, you still sign as usual with four tildes, but your signature will then show up as above. — Edokter (talk) — 21:13, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Splendid. Lets test it: --— F = q(E + v × B) 21:19, 13 December 2011 (UTC)<--- IT WORKS - If only Lunatic Sinebot could see it!!!

I changed it to a different font-- F = q(E + v × B) 21:51, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Doesn't look like a typical wiki formula anymore, but you're the boss. Note that Gill Sans is not a widespread font; Those that don't have it will see it in plain sans-serif. I made a page about fonts. — Edokter (talk) — 22:00, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

I know, but still. I'll see your page soon.-- F = q(E + v × B) 22:03, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Your the lunatic

Please - for all Navboxes you produce, use the background colour #FFFFFF. Also LEAVE them opened so readers can see them, then shut them if they become too much, and so editors can spot errors quicker. Thank you --Maschen (talk) 17:50, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Heh? very well - btw I saw what you wrote on continuity equation, I don't care about attacks directed to me but you'd better not do it to anyine else. Keep your anger to yourself - its not that much of a problem (unless you make it one). On my computer I geuss the brightness/ contrast was so that I could't see the colours of the tops of the Navboxes so I thought they were plain. I realized they wern't afer by looking at the screen at an angle - there was only a slight differance.-- F = q(E + v × B) 12:06, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Template:Physics equations navbox

For solving the links to disambiguation pages in templates, I stumbled yesterday on Template:Physics equations navbox and Template:Physics equations (eponyms). Both templates have a problom with the Landau–Lifshitz equation. Unfortunately, I have also an issue with that equation: I don't have a clue what they are about. Therefore, I plain do not know where the links in the templates should point. Could you please correct the links so that they point to the right article instead of a disambiguation page? Thanks in advance! Night of the Big Wind _talk 12:30, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Technically it is only the Template:Physics equations (eponyms) template which has the problem since this is passed into the Template:Physics equations navbox template. Sometimes there are a number of equations which are named after the same scientist/s, such as Euler and Ampere. I intentionally linked to the disambiguation page so that readers can choose which equation to read up. I'll split the link into the disambiguated articles.

I don't really understand the LL equations either (yet), but in case your interested here is what they mean. One L-L eqn is for non-linear acoustics: the description of noise generation via turbulent aerodynamics (similar to fluid flow in fluid mechanics). The other two are for the description of the magnetization field M in magnetism: one is for the solid state, the other is a general mathematical description. These are very intricate, advanced and applied equations which you don't need to worry about as much as (say) Maxwell's equations, the Schrödinger or Dirac equations, or De Broglie's relations etc. Thanks for letting me know.-- F = q(E + v × B) 19:51, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Ehm, it is just Chinese for me. The last time I had classes in Physics was in 1984, in secondary school. Night of the Big Wind _talk 20:59, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Fair enough, but at least the templates for those equations are sorted. Actually right now I am making the classification better.-- F = q(E + v × B) 21:01, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Great! As long as I don't see those templates in the "List of templates with disambiguation links" I will be happy. But I did not want to start changing in those templates because I had no clue what it was. Asking for help is then a better option! Night of the Big Wind _talk 22:05, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

No problems! Thanks again for asking. The templates as far as I can make them are complete; about as organized as they can be (hopefully). There should be no disambiguation pages at all but if there are please tell me again. Cheers-- F = q(E + v × B) 22:09, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Contributed articles update

I took the liberty of updating the articles you contributed to a few minuites ago on your main page. Hope you don't mind - I should make it up to you for being rude the other time. Came across your recent edits when adding images for the vector model of the atom - which you expanded very well! Also you extensivley edited the template: equation box 1 so that it works clockwork. Thanks very much, --Maschen (talk) 01:13, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Equations of motion

Hi. Your recent elegant rewrite of this article goes too far imho. The previous version concentrated on the classic equations of motion which, for most people, is what they are seeking in this article. If you feel, and I don't disagree, that there is a need for mention of these more esoteric areas then I suggest you could achieve this better by pointing to other suitable articles. It seems to me that the article as you left it will be quite confusing for a reader simply seeking information on the "equations of motion". I will post something similar on the article's talk page.
