Hi Bill! Glad to hear that there is another Bill working on early Iowa stuff. I like what you have done so far. Bill Whittaker (talk) 00:58, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at High-leg delta. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please try to reach a consensus on the talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. VQuakr (talk) 18:29, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for your recent comments at Talk:Meades Ranch, Kansas. Your userpage indicates that you're interested in the history of surveying, so perhaps you can shed some light on an issue with the article. In the lead, I've stated that Meades Ranch was used as the horizontal datum until 1989 (which a source states is the year in which the US government officially adopted NAD83). Is this correct, or was NAD83 generally used before that, and its 1989 adoption just a confirmation of what everyone was doing anyway?
Thanks in advance for looking at this— Ammodramus (talk) 18:47, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
I've just launched a discussion at Talk:Meades Ranch (Kansas) concerning the article's title. If you'd care to weigh in on it, your opinion would be valued—the more so since you actually know something about surveying. — Ammodramus (talk) 01:16, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
The formula I added in Degree of curvature is more accurate as the arc length in the formula should be varaiale. Each firm and industry related to construction can used that universal formula. arc lenght is not 100ft in every firm and country as it is 30m in Indian railways. Also every country doesn't use same set of units. Therefore universal formula is much more preferable. So please undo your revert.Prymshbmg (talk) 14:30, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for the edit and please reply on the talk page. Prymshbmg (talk) 16:20, 26 May 2015 (UTC) |
Hello Bill,
Please look at Talk:Degree of curvature#Another formula for chord length. Methinks someone is rather rigid and inflexible, like "my mind id made up, don't confuse me with facts". You have cobtributed to that article longer than the other fellow.

You recently reverted one of my edits to Mason-Dixon line, restoring mention of a song in the article's "Popular culture" section. Unfortunately, you didn't provide any sources or discussion in Talk but instead only used an edit summary of "It's relevant." Can you please add some sources to the article that establish that relevance e.g., how the song reflects a common understanding of the Mason-Dixon line, the song's influence on the usage of the Mason-Dixon line in popular culture. Without such a source, it appears to be just the idea of a Wikipedia editor instead of documentation of well-sourced information. Thanks! ElKevbo (talk) 15:00, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
