• 02:3102:31, 7 October 2012diff hist +1,441‎ Wikipedia talk:Fringe theories/Noticeboard‎ →‎Pseudoscience 'warning' headers: This is exactly the sort of discussion that should have occurred BEFORE deletion, at the project talk page. Why didn't that happen?

• 15:2715:27, 6 October 2012diff hist +1,510‎ Wikipedia talk:Fringe theories/Noticeboard‎ →‎Pseudoscience 'warning' headers: 3.5 hours does not constitute a discussion. Please don't do that. Spend the couple of days needed for due diligence first.

3 October 2012

• 09:5409:54, 3 October 2012diff hist +926‎ Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics‎ →‎BKL singularity: Main complaints are with prose in the lede and lack of early context. Your response reassured me that this is respectable; thanks!
• 06:4906:49, 3 October 2012diff hist −1‎ mWikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics‎ →‎BKL singularity: Preview is my friend.
• 06:4806:48, 3 October 2012diff hist +351‎ Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics‎ →‎BKL singularity: Probably worth adding historical context to the article itself, then, as tone seems a bit off as-is.

• 19:1119:11, 2 October 2012diff hist +245‎ Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Black hole topology‎ →‎Black hole topology: Delete as a lower-quality fork of material that's at black hole.

1 October 2012

• 20:2320:23, 1 October 2012diff hist +1,843‎ Talk:Hawking radiation‎ →‎Why would only particles with positive energy escape?: Handwavy: virtual particles that gain energy become real. More accurate: virtual particles represent intermediate states for bookkeeping purposes.
• 00:0500:05, 1 October 2012diff hist −14‎ Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics‎ →‎Saturable absorption in graphene: Fixed broken link (I'd misquoted a subsection heading as the page name)

29 September 2012

• 22:2422:24, 29 September 2012diff hist +437‎ Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics‎ →‎Vetting needed at heat death of the universe: Follow-up is probably a good idea (at Talk:Heat and elsewhere).

• 00:2200:22, 29 September 2012diff hist +735‎ Talk:Black hole‎ →‎First sentence - egregious error: Polar jets are generated by accretion disc interactions outside of the horizon. Hawking radiation was already discussed above.

28 September 2012

• 20:5620:56, 28 September 2012diff hist −6‎ Hawking radiation‎ Undid revision 515038687 by Pksherard (talk) rv WP:OR. Convince the scientific community before coming here.

25 September 2012

• 22:2322:23, 25 September 2012diff hist +1,396‎ Talk:Space‎ →‎Is space boundless?: An infinite space can expand just fine. Provided an example.
• 05:2805:28, 25 September 2012diff hist +43‎ Heat death of the universe‎ Put "life" back in, added "computation", removed "motion". At nonzero temperature, thermal motion and brownian motion both occur.

24 September 2012

• 17:4217:42, 24 September 2012diff hist +1,042‎ Talk:Space‎ →‎Is space boundless?: No such discovery has been made, and your "age x C" number is also demonstrably wrong. See comoving distance and metric expansion of space.

21 September 2012

• 22:3222:32, 21 September 2012diff hist +1,051‎ Talk:Universe‎ →‎The difficulty of defining universe: Let's cut to the chase and have an RFC, rather than returning to the old days of constant changes.
• 02:5202:52, 21 September 2012diff hist +65‎ Universe‎ This was originally a quotation from the source; turned it back into one, with explicit quotation marks.
• 02:4802:48, 21 September 2012diff hist −2‎ Hawking radiation‎ Undid revision 513798414 by 166.182.3.6 (talk) "Mass" is correct here; "weight" is force on a mass due to gravity.

20 September 2012

• 19:1019:10, 20 September 2012diff hist +544‎ Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/ScienceApologist‎ →‎Comments by other users: Agree with Ebikeguy. J's actions look like those of a new user who overreacted. SA's socks look like experienced users.

19 September 2012

• 20:3620:36, 19 September 2012diff hist +1,220‎ Talk:Dark matter‎ →‎Dark matter is very different from current theory, and vast majority may be baryonic.: Gandalf61 is correct. This is about building different luminosity to mass ratio models for different galaxy
• 09:3609:36, 19 September 2012diff hist +59‎ Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Astronomy‎ Restored collapse-box. The thread contains a link to where discussion should be, and is presumably, taking place. That is sufficient. Anyone who wants to read more, can click "show".

18 September 2012

• 00:2900:29, 18 September 2012diff hist +510‎ Talk:Quasar‎ →‎Lensed quasars: I agree that this should be clarified. Probably refers to formation of multiple images.

17 September 2012

• 03:0003:00, 17 September 2012diff hist +442‎ Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics‎ →‎Graphite/water room temperature superconductivity: Let's wait until other scientists comment on this in the literature.

16 September 2012

• 08:5908:59, 16 September 2012diff hist +298‎ Talk:Black hole‎ →‎Edit request on 16 September 2012: Good catch flagging this; I've asked other editors to help clarify things.

• 03:1403:14, 16 September 2012diff hist +1,476‎ Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics‎ →‎Superfluid vacuum theory: Seems to be based on a 1976 paper set. Notability is marginal and the article at minimum needs pov-cleanup.

11 September 2012

• 20:0120:01, 11 September 2012diff hist +581‎ Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents‎ →‎Question: You certainly didn't spend five minutes on google for the NASA images you nominated. You didn't spend five minutes doing *anything* for most of the others.
• 03:5403:54, 11 September 2012diff hist +642‎ Talk:White dwarf‎ →‎I don't think white dwarfs are true stars: "Stellar remnant" is more accurate, but I'm pretty sure popular literature calls them stars. Literature review is the way to find out.

• 13:4113:41, 10 September 2012diff hist +401‎ Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics‎ →‎Vetting needed at heat death of the universe: Thanks. They've made extensive edits to a couple of thermodynamics related articles too.

8 September 2012

• 20:5620:56, 8 September 2012diff hist +1,450‎ Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents‎ →‎Question: Spend the five minutes to try to verify sources you have doubts about. After that, _talk_ to the uploader and appropriate wikiprojects.
• 19:3319:33, 8 September 2012diff hist +161‎ Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics‎ →‎image:Birk.jpg: Someone seems to have beaten me to it.
• 19:3219:32, 8 September 2012diff hist +1,023‎ Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents‎ →‎User is mass tagging images for deletion under false and misleading rationales: This user's (automated?) deletion spree was a serious problem for WT:AST.
• 06:5006:50, 8 September 2012diff hist +578‎ Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics‎ →‎image:Birk.jpg: Per WT:AST thread, it's time to head to AN/I to stop this semi-automated tagging spree.
