Hi Jeb8828, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions to the coolest online encyclopedia I know of =). I sure hope you stick around; we're always in need of more people to create new articles and improve the ones we already have. Here are a few suggestions you might find useful:

Mechanical Engineering Article

edit

Jeb, I'm the one who has done the majority of the work on the ME page thus far, so I would be very interested in working with you on expanding it. I've been more or less following the example of the electrical engineering article in what I've done, but I think that the way the ME article is heading now has it's own benefits. I particularly like that the subdisciplines are split into explanations and common uses, and the fact that mechanical engineering topics of study are explored in a bit more detail. However, I realize that since this is Wikipedia nothing I've done is sacred, so I'd love to hear your ideas on what can be changed.

As for me, I've got plenty of ideas for things to change. If you'd like to jump right in and start editing, one thing that is in desperate need of change is the history section. When I started working on the article, I found that the text already there was exactly copied from an encylopedia Brittanica article, with no reference. I tried to modify the article a little to avoid copyright infringement, but I am currently at school in France and don't have access to any engineering history books to really give that section justice.

Please let me know how I can be of help in your editing process.

Sincerely,

Brandon (Âme Errante)

Subdisciplines of Mechanical Engineering

edit

Jeb,

You mentioned that you thought that the subdisciplines should go under education because a mechanical engineer could not make a career out of just one of them. Well, in this I disagree a bit, and I'd like to direct you to a couple of articles to argue that each is its own branch of mechanical engineering, independent of the others, and that there are specialists for each:

Mechanician
Mechatronics - see cybernetics, biomechatronics, industrial robotics
Structural analysis#Time-line and Monster.com link

etc.

So, while I would certainly argue that these are more than just areas of study for engineering students, I can understand that you don't like the current layout, and that it might be confusing. Since you've already made a new 'Mechanical engineering tools' subsection, would you mind if I move this information there? Would you be OK with the compromise that these are not just areas of study, nor subdisciplines per se, but rather each is a unique tool that an engineer can apply?

  • One other note: As I've been doing more research, I've found that kinematics is more often grouped with mechanics than with mechanism design, so I'm going to either integrate that section or rewrite it

Let me know what you think. It may take me a couple of days to respond, because I don't have regular internet access here, but I will certainly keep checking Wikipedia. Keep up the good work with the ME article, and talk to you soon.

Robertson Field

edit

To answer your question posted on my talk page:
The fields in the airport infobox for U.S. airports are usually based on data published by the FAA. Although the box is labelled "operator", it is usually the name of the owner, which FAA records for Robertson Field show as "Tomasso Brothers Inc." (see references link in article). However, since the owner and operator are different here, please feel free to change it back to "Interstate Aviation". Zyxw 11:34, 27 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Adrianne Wadewitz edit-a-thons in Southern New England
 

As you may have already heard, the Wikipedia community lost an invaluable member of the community last month. Adrianne Wadewitz was a feminist scholar of 18th-Century British literature, and a prolific editor of the site. As part of a worldwide series of tributes, New England Wikimedians, in conjunction with local institutions of higher learning, have created three edit-a-thons that will be occurring in May and June. The events are as follows:

We hope that you will be able to join us, whether you are an experienced editor or are using Wikipedia for the first time.
