Mtpaley, it's nice to have you on Wikipedia!
Please consider adding LynxInAntarctica.jpg to commons
Hi. Would you please consider adding LynxInAntarctica.jpg to the Wikimedia Commons and the category Westland Lynx there? That way all the wikipedia-projects can benefit from your photo and more photos of this subject can be found at the same place. Kind regards

Hello Matt- I got your e-mail and tried to reply, but it bounced back. Let me know if you want the error details. Regarding the GR 11 question, take a look here on my talk page: User_talk:Eric#GR11_in_France, and note the separate sections for France and Spain on the GR footpath article. -Eric talk 14:29, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I was reading your usertalk and found this. I am the one wanting the change on the ignition timing page, and I assumed you were just being insensitive. I apologize for that, after seeing this, but I still support the edits I made. Thanks, Mike — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.28.251.208 (talk) 23:18, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
No I was not 'just being insensitive' just practical but I still support the reversions I made. You should not try to remove all references to a word that has acquired a negative connotation. There certainly are cases where such references should be removed but where a word has a perfectly valid and currently used meaning it should be documented as it currently is. I should also admit to feeling a little guilty about your comments above because my contributions to the 'Down's syndrome' page were very dull and not worthy of the original request from Nicholas Cimini.

Hi, Your image File:TwinOtterInAntarctica.jpg has been nominated for deletion as it does not have a license template. I cannot add it (and my images are from an earlier era at Halley - all slides). If you are happy, will you edit it on Commons. Any problem, reply here. Thanks. Finavon (talk) 22:28, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
Let it die. It has been orphaned for ages and it is not a especially good scan of the slide. Mtpaley (talk) 23:18, 4 September 2013 (UTC):

Why did you reinstate the vandalism on L.H.O.O.Q.?
It's a strange piece of vandalism that got introduced for the first time just a few days ago. It's obviously wrong, as anybody can see. So why did you reinstate it? Did you even think about it for half a second? -- 64.131.244.143 (talk) 02:18, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi Matt- Just wanted to let you know that my post on the above user's talkpage was not auto-generated. I placed the template there (via Twinkle) when I noticed that he'd blanked your userpage. Also wanted to make sure you knew that you posted to him on his userpage, not his talkpage, in case that was not your intention. Eric talk 02:40, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
Rollback granted
Hi Mtpaley. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
- Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of good faith edits.
- Rollback should never be used to edit war.
- If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
- Use common sense.
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see
Congrats
Congratulations on becoming a rollback. :D
PL/M External Link Submission
Hi, Today I added an External Link to the PL/M page on Wikipedia. It was for PL/M to C Translator Tools & Services. However, you rejected the link as advertising. This link is informational and is in exactly the same category as the following PL/M External Links that Wikipedia has always permitted:
• Development Assistant for PL/M (DA-PL/M) – Commercial PL/M IDE from RistanCASE GmbH • PLM2C - PL/M to C Translator – Commercial product from Alternative Solutions • XTRAN Demonstration: Translating PL/M to C – Commercial product from Pennington Systems, Inc.
Please review our link and add it back to the External Links page. Thanks.

- If it was just on the PL/M page then the link might well have survived but it was on about 17 articles which makes it look far more like a advert than a reference . There is also the conflict of interest aspect where you are "strongly discouraged" from contributing to articles where you might not have a neutral point of view. The example edits you compared it would probably have had the same problem if they were applied to multiple pages. Just for completion I did not actually delete anything, I just tagged your page to say that these edits require consideration. Mtpaley (talk) 21:09, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
Pair production discussion
Re: Pair production: There is no frame of reference where the electron and positron are back to back. Such a frame would have no net momentum. But the incoming photon must have momentum - it cannot ever be found to be stationary. There are many frames where the electron and positron have angles between them almost 180 degrees down to zero degrees.
Anyway the frame of reference of the article is the one where the photon is measured in the laboratory, where the nucleus is not moving very much. In this frame the electron and positron are found to be moving almost in the same direction.
Chris P.S. I have a PhD in Particle Physics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CKBowdery (talk • contribs) 00:20, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
My PhD in (non particle) Physics is almost certainly much older and rustier than yours but surely there is a frame of reference where the e+ and e- are back to back, it is the FOR where this is true. I agree that the originating photon must have momentum which must be conserved by the resulting y and y- +catalyzing other so it comes down to a frame of reference issue. In the frame of the gammas the e and e- combined have zero net momentum.
Just to be clear this conversation is in no way a edit war - just a enjoyable discussion on my(rusty) physics. Mtpaley (talk) 00:45, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

Hello Matt,
I am confused by your deletion of my edits, which I just found out about in my notes today. I am new to Wiki and was under the impression that it was important to keep that subject pages up to date with the latest developments in a particular field. I am interested in Gerald Bull and the HARP Project and ballistic launch. Recently I found an article about a company that was continuing his launch methodology. As a fan of this technology I thought others who share my interest might want to know about it too.
