[edit]
Sherurcij, I cleaned up your navigation template on wikitravel. I hope you don't mind! It was broke pretty bad. Please let me know what you think. Please leave your reply on my talk page. Thanks! --Mattwj2002 (talk) 04:55, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Sherurcij, where do should I send my money for PSM Vol 75?
Sherurcij, where do should I send my money for PSM Vol 75? Thanks. Please send me a message. Thanks. --Mattwj2002 (talk) 04:58, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Popular Science
Sherurcij, how exactly do we get the Internet Archive to scan in a volume? You mentioned they would do it for 10 cents a page. I am thinking that is our best bet. Do you have a link to how we get that done? Please reply to this message on my talk page. Thanks for all your help. --Mattwj2002 (talk) 11:57, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
- Sherurcij, if you send me a link to the web page with the phone numbers, I'll give them a call. Being a US citizen I am sure it is cheaper for me to call then for you. I will also find out more information about that volume to make sure it is the full Popular Science Monthly Volume 75. If we are going to have Internet Archive scan it, we could send the volume here. :) That is if it is okay with you. --Mattwj2002 (talk) 13:18, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Proofreading of Popular Science monthly
Hi Sherurcij, Thanks for your note. I left the last hyphen in the text to indicate a broken continuity to the next page. When validating, I noticed that I missed the italics of many words and I am checking my work from #72 backwards. If you noticed any other misses, please let me know.

[edit] Don't forget to update the Template:Collaboration
Sherurcij, don't forget to update the Template:Collaboration. I am not updating it for the 3rd week in a row!!! :P Also, if you could pop on IRC once and a while I would love to chat. --Mattwj2002 (talk) 02:38, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Youmans
Ahhhhhh, the name Youmans constantly pops up in the articles, but I never paid attention, thank you. I have to read it again. Ineuw (talk) 16:31, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
And let's not forget their italicizing to attract the reader's attention, and the style of using an opening double quote " to start a numbered paragraph, without a corresponding closing quote. Did I miss something? Ineuw (talk) 16:36, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Did you hear back from your friend yet?
Did you hear back from your friend yet? Also, just to let you know I got Popular Science Monthly Volume 93 Part 1 & 2, Volume 94, and Volume 95 ordered. I hope to talk to you soon. --Mattwj2002 (talk) 18:28, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
[edit] The Caliphate: Its Rise, Decline and Fall
Sherurcij, I found a weird problem with navigation on this text. On the table of contents it lists two CHAPTER XLIII. The problem is when I created the navigation I created two of these so now it goes in a loop. Do a change this and stray from the original or what else should I do? I just thought I should ask. Also, if you could get back to me about that other thing I would appreciate it. Thanks. --Mattwj2002 (talk) 20:09, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
- Sherurcij, there is CHAPTER XLIII 40 A.H.—Khariji conspiracy—'Ali assassinated—Mu'awiya escapes AND
CHAPTER XLIII 61-64 A.H.—'Alid reaction—Ibn az-Zubeir affects Caliphate—Mecca besieged—Death of Yezid
on both copies. Any suggestions? Thanks for the update. I am sorry for being such a pest about the scanning! --Mattwj2002 (talk) 20:21, 20 October 2009 (UTC)- Sherurcij, any suggestion on how to fix this problem? Also, have you heard from your friend? Thanks. --Mattwj2002 (talk) 13:24, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
[edit] I ordered PSM Vol 75
I just thought I would let you know I ordered Popular Science Monthly Volume 75. I have it shipped to my house. I can ship it in a large flat rate shipping box anywhere in the US for $13.50 usd or anywhere in Canada for $31.30 usd. Anyways, I just thought I would let you know. I left a note on the talk page of the PSM project. Leave me a message on my talk page with any comments or questions. --Mattwj2002 (talk) 00:00, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
- Just noticed this when I was commenting elsewhere. $13.50 seems expensive. I bought my copy of Volume 1 for $23.50 with $5.55 media mail shipping, and even that was a little high. Eclecticology - the offended (talk) 08:57, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Any word from your friend yet?

- Okay I'll lay off. More than anything I am trying to decide if I should send the volumes with you and your friend or if I'll have to pay for themself to be scanned. What can I say? Popular Science Monthly makes me excited. :) --Mattwj2002 (talk) 18:03, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Sherurcij is there only one djvu file or multiple? Please let me know before I proceed. --Mattwj2002 (talk) 03:11, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
[edit] The Popular Science Monthly gossip column
I suspect that Eliza Youmans and Prof. Quatrefages have something going there, don't you? It's the only work she translates and I am sure that there were other French scientists clamoring to be published? :-D Ineuw (talk) 04:11, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the link. I was only joking. :-) I love reading these old articles, and amazed at the amount of modern scientific knowledge that was known at that time. Also, there ought to be a link on his Wikipedia page to his articles here. I just don't know how to do that yet. Ineuw (talk) 04:40, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Popular Science/Volume 1
I see that you edited this page. I had done a little work there where I showed an example with author names and where these articles were previously published. Is there some reason why you would not want to retain that kind of information? Eclecticology - the offended (talk) 08:45, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Documents from the Den of Espionage
Sherurcij, I have a DJVU file for these documents. Unfortunately, I am having some problem doing the OCR. Do you want me to upload the file without the OCR. Can you come on IRC sometime and talk about it? Please let me know. --Mattwj2002 (talk) 00:39, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Author:Romain Rolland
Hello, Why did you remove most works? [1] Yann (talk) 14:14, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
- For COTW, it was reduced to just the list of works that existed, looks like it never got changed back. Looks like you fixed it, thanks. Sherurcij Collaboration of the Week: Author:Khwaja Kamal-ud-Din. 15:44, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
