Smack



I am currently 19 years old, and a student at the University of California, Berkeley. I'm studying electrical engineering, with a side interest in mechanical engineering. I have finished my second year. I first edited an article in March of 2003, and started contributing on a regular basis in the wee days of May. I am Russian by birth, Jewish by heritage, American by citizenship and allegiance; libertarian by political persuasion, Republican by general party affiliation; and nerd by personality. My nickname is a slang term, at least in Irvine, California, for a somewhat cocky smart person. I do think I've outgrown it, but it's good enough for Wikipedia. My email address is ivg in the immediate vicinity of berkeley very small spot edu email-address harvesting software must die. ('92604' is my ZIP code. When I got this email address, Yahoo suggested that I be either smack16 or smack17, so I decided to go with a number I could remember. You may also AOL Instant Messenger at ''brainybuffoon'', Yahoo! Messenger me at ''smack92604'', or ICQ me at ''26220039''. == Current status == I've been too lazy to look at the the steady stream of obscure Wikipolicy that seems to be an inevitable byproduct of Wikiwork. If I break any rules, though, please do tell me. As of May 29, I'm done with school for the summer, and trying to find something to do with my time. I'll take an engineering job if I can find one. Failing that, I'll probably do summer school, but that won't start until July. All in all, that means I'll probably have lots of wiki-time. Whenever I see an article, think that it needs a lot of work, and think that I'm capable of performing this work with at least an average level of competence, I put it on my User:Smack/To-do. I've written an essay. I've called it User:Smack/Essay. == Some contributions of note == If an article is listed here, it usually means that I wrote a pageful or more, as seen at a decently high screen resolution. * Philmont Scout Ranch (sole substantive contributor) * Kurtz (Heart of Darkness) (this one doesn't quite meet my length criteria, but I like it) * List of BSA rank requirements (a rather shameful article) * Tent * Portable stove * First Age, Fëanor and other Tolkien-related stuff which I've since forsworn * Campfire (initially How to light a fire) * Season * Hiking * Boy Scouts of America * Jefferson Davis (refactored from a timeline) * Colonial History of the United States * Test (student assessment) * Archaeology * Peterhof * Atomic orbital (begun at Electron orbital, then cut and pasted) * Radioactive decay * Giuseppe Garibaldi (mass of material rewritten and/or moved to Italian unification) === Images that I have authored and uploaded === All images, except for technical diagrams containing text, are hosted on Wikimedia Commons. The diagrams were created using Micrografx Designer. Due to technical difficulties, I currently don't have the program installed, so I can't edit them, but the source files are available upon request.
:''Technical diagrams''
:''Photos of places I've been''
== Multi-licensing nonsense == I was recently informed about a Wikipedia:Multi-licensing#Arguments on multiple licensing. We all thought that our contributions to Wikipedia were freely released, but there's a rather hairy issue involving noncompatibility of the vaunted GFDL with other licenses used by other allegedly free information repositories. It's a bloody mess, so in an effort to resolve my small part of it once and for all, I'm attaching this little note to my user page.

Hello there, Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to Wikipedia:wikipedians. If you need pointers on how we title pages visit Wikipedia:Naming conventions or how to format them visit our Wikipedia:Manual of Style. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the wikipedia:Village pump. Cheers! --user:maveric149 ---- Wikifairy or bus driver?
When you want a wiki editors help you can never get it, when you dont, two or three come along at the same time. Greetings Smack,
crackle and pop, try as I might to write an article for a bunch of strangers I know not whom, for what, who cares, it can only end in tears. Nail me to a piece of wood I up here for the common good, and dont belive every thing you read. Australia, Critrcal Mass does not even recognise the existance of such a place, given reference to the Ramsgate Flat Earth Soc. edicts. Please indicate such Sloppy articles as you would deem unworthy of the great wikifairy. It has been ordained by the prophet Ted that the teachings of Kiya Gowdie be ushered into the new century by electronic means. That he is no longer alive to defend his verse might mean you are too late to sip of the troff. We wonder how constructive is perfect truth when the means of delivery remais obscure. By my rights under the gnu licence I allow alterations in my text, but it remains mine. I hold that I am at liberty to re write a tract of text by another author, and present similar facts in a different dialogue, and this is fair use. Blatant copying is, without consent just either forgetful or contemptuous. I find it annoying that I might even be in the middle of uploading a piece and before I am able to complete my work, it can be edited. This is the weekness of the Wikifairy, whom needs a stong draught of Dop Pnint, the sacred brew of the Troff of the Covenant. I feel content is worth more than presentation, espesially with numerous critics able to master the difficult tracts into a coherent wikipage. Is Dada art, punk or industrial opera music ?

Hi Smack, welcome to Wikipedia! Regarding moving pages, it's generally considered better to use the Move Page function to move pages because otherwise they lose their edit histories. If I move September 11th... to Generic title then all previous versions of September 11th... also move to the new title. If I just take the source code and put it in a new article then it has no edit history and it's more difficult to find out who has added what to the article and for what reason, who to ask about whether something is a violation of copyright if you think it might be etc. Also the Move Page feature moves the talk page as well which is a good thing for the same reasons and also because that it where people are supposed to put information about permissions of use of photographs and other media. Have fun editing -- User:Ams80 08:04 18 May 2003 (UTC) ---- Truly an impressive entry on the First Age of Middle-earth. I really am going to finally go and read the Silmarillion now. Good job, and welcome to Wikipedia. -- User:General Wesc 13:22 22 May 2003 (UTC) ------ Hi there. Welcome to Wikipedia. Great article on tent! -- User:Tarquin 09:48 28 May 2003 (UTC) ---- Hi, I'm not 100% convinced that the Encyclopedia of Arda rules on map use are consistent with the GFDL. In particular, the GFDL allows you to sell GFDLed material for as much money as you can convince people to give (for instance, the FSF makes some of its income from selling printed GNU manuals through bookstores, even though the manual content is itself GFDL), but the Encyclopedia of Arda says in their FAQ "If you want to use elements of the Encyclopedia on a commercial site, please contact us for permission". Since I'm probably the first to notice this (being a Tolkien fan and all :-) ), and you may start getting additional people bugging you about this soon, I suggest that you a) add a comment to the image pages citing the EoA FAQ, and b) send email to the EoA folks. Even though Wikipedia is a "competitor" :-), I suspect they would be OK with Wikipedia's use, and then you can paste the email into the image pages, will keep even the strictest image-usage-cop happy. User:Stan Shebs 03:16 31 May 2003 (UTC) : In fact, I have already tacked a notification onto an email concerning EoA's own affairs. No reply yet. But it is indeed a good idea to allay fears by quoting their image use policy. User:Smack 05:23 31 May 2003 (UTC) ---- Generally people don't like to have talk page contents deleted - personally I don't think it's that big of a deal either way, but I follow the custom. It's always OK to create an archive subpage and move old stuff there, see for example Talk:List of French monarchs which is up to four archives now. User:Stan Shebs 06:12 31 May 2003 (UTC) :So do I "move" the page, or just create a new one and copy-and-paste? ::Just make a link and paste the text you want to move. Page moving wouldn't make sense for archives after the 1st, since you want to preserve the list of links to archive pages. User:Stan Shebs 06:44 31 May 2003 (UTC) : An alternative is to refactor old talk to highlight the important issues and ditch the nonsense. A question of style... :) User:MyRedDice ---- Hi! I just noticed you made some changes to Wikipedia:Topic index California, including removing most of the city, county, and school links. I know they clutter up the page something dreadful, but the purpose of the page is really to be used as a filter for "Related changes": taking the links out means changes to California city, county, and university articles won't show up anymore. It's probably better if they stay. --User:Brion VIBBER 23:16 5 Jun 2003 (UTC) : Yeah, I was rather hasty with that, but the problem is that the lists as I found them were incomplete. I think it would be better just to go to each of the individual pages (i.e. List of cities in California) and watch them. Wait. There is no "watch links" link. I don't know what you're talking about. Please explain. ::It used to be "watch links", at some point it was renamed to "related changes". --User:Brion VIBBER 23:42 5 Jun 2003 (UTC) ::: Well then. Just go to "related changes" for each individual page. I can certainly imagine people wanting to track, for example, universities but not cities.
::: I'm going to post this in the ''talk:''. User:Smack ::::That would, of course, defeat the purpose of having a ''single'' view that covered the entire topic. :) See the link to my suggestions at Wikipedia talk:Topic index California. --User:Brion VIBBER ::: Thanks for pointing this out, I've changed everywhere that used to say "Watch links" to "Related changes" now (I think), so this should cut down on the confusion for future users, at least until the next change in the software there. ;) -- User:JohnOwens 04:33 6 Jun 2003 (UTC) just playing with your talk page to see if I get a database error. Please ignore this. User:Tannin :: Works fine for me. I hope it's working for you too. User:Tannin : Darn it! The car always starts working when you take it to the shop, doesn't it? I was getting a database error message that superimposed itself over the text at the top of the page. -User:Smack ---- I shouldn't edit while drunk! Thank Ghu the delete function asks for confirmation! I actually was confronted with confirming the deletion of your talkpage; when all I wanted to do was talk to you! Uhm. the think i WANTIED TO DISUSS. anuway uhm. What about two logs atop euch other don't you undesrtanad? --User:Cimon avaro 11:52 6 Jul 2003 (UTC) :Pogo-stick indeed, I must say. :p You weren't very clear about the arrangement of the two logs. After some contemplation, I realized that you probably meant that they are to be parallel, like part of a log-cabin wall, but my initial interpretation was that they are to be laid crosswise, in the most stable configuration.
:You might also wish to add something about how it can also be built on a small scale, with something smaller than tree trunks (right?)
:And another question: does the bottom log burn completely? -User:Smack 23:18 6 Jul 2003 (UTC) My sincerest apologies. I had honestly forgotten about the whole thing. I'm on it. -- User:Cimon avaro 16:58 11 Jul 2003 (UTC) ---- Hi, re tsar versus czar. If the person being mentioned in the Russian emperor, then it should be tsar, not czar. On english wiki is the spelling to be used is the one used by english speakers, and that is tsar. Czar is now rarely used in english and generally replaced if found. Whether czar is the form used in Serbia is immaterial because on ''english'' wiki it is the generally used english language word that is used and that is tsar. (Congrats BTW on the renaming work!) lol User:Jtdirl 22:58 11 Jul 2003 (UTC) : I'm amazed. You replied within minutes - to a message on someone else's talk page.
: I wasn't questioning the ''czar'' spelling. Tsar explains the origin of that little deviation very well. I was scratching my head over ''tzar''. IIRC, all of the link-references to tzar, including the ones I fixed, refer specifically to the ruler of Serbia. -User:Smack 23:27 11 Jul 2003 (UTC) Thanks. Well spotted about [[Cearbhall Ó Dálaigh[[. Typical Cearbhall. In life, in death, even on wiki he gets into problems! Thanks anyway, I owe you one. wikilove. User:Jtdirl 01:47 12 Jul 2003 (UTC) I accept your suggestion -- as a challenge, almost. !. I really am a beginner at Japanese, so anything I do will be at a snails pace - using some newly avaliable technology -- like Jim Breen's Kanji dictionary -- and making some educated guesses as far as what connects to what. Im busy with the Arabic wikipedia at the moment, though. When I get that jumpstarted, Ill get on the proberb thing. I should also volunteer som real Japanese wikipedians to ambassadorial positions... :) -User:Stevertigo ------------- Nice work on Jefferson Davis! The previous state of that article has bothered me since I first joined Wikipedia over a year an a half ago. --User:Maveric149 ----- Is there any reason why you posted message on my User page instead of Talk page? I don't mind, I'll move it soon or later (probably later!), but I am wondering if there was some technical problem. Because my Talk page seems to be still undersized. --User:Menchi 01:43 17 Jul 2003 (UTC) ---- Just saw your line-drawings for WP. They're really good, I like the slighyly curvy lines in :Image:Dining fly (tent).png, makes it look 3-D. Did you draw them with stylus? Because most people can't make straight or curvy lines and cause the lines to slightly shaky. --User:Menchi 03:18 17 Jul 2003 (UTC) :Oh, no. I have a horrible hand. I used a program that looks like it's supposed to be used for making blueprints. Unfortunately, neither the program nor the company is mentioned on the 'pedia at all. The program is called Designer, and it's part of a suite made by Micrografx ''[sic]''. -User:Smack 03:20 17 Jul 2003 (UTC) ---- Weighty reasons, eh? Sounds scary... have a good break, and good luck with college :) User:MyRedDice 19:36 22 Jul 2003 (UTC) ---- Hi smack, thanks for the feedback on [OA]. It has been over 33 years since I was active in the OA, but those times are wonderfully fulfilling memories. I'll add more very soon. Blessings, Rich -- User:Niganit 16:38, 6 Aug 2003 (UTC) == Colonial America == Thanks! I plan on expanding more when I have time. --User:Alex S 21:48, 25 Sep 2003 (UTC) == Butt rot == Perhaps you should describe the fungus-caused butt rot tree disease in a stub (or more if you can!) to avoid future complication in the future. It has happened twice already! :-) --User:Menchi 05:10, 12 Nov 2003 (UTC) ==Sahel== Smack, I have reverted your recent change to the Sahel - the Sudan is only south of the far eastern end of the Sahel, which runs right across Africa. The previous version was essentially right, though I guess "rain forest" is going it a bit for southern Sudan, so I have qualified the previous text a bit. User:Seglea 05:04, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC) (also of UCB, incidentally). OK, apologies, I've now looked more closely... I didn't realise there was a region called the Sudan as well as a country. But if I didn't know, nor would most nonexperts, so I have expanded the text a bit. And I'll put a live link in the pointer to the region article at the top of the country article. User:Seglea 05:16, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC) ---- Thanks for supplying the semicolons (for special characters) I left out of the article on Menander. I'm still new at this, though I think I've improved a bit since editing that article! User:Flauto Dolce 14:41, 11 Dec 2003 (UTC) I suggest that you research Settlers of Catan. You are behind the times. All 23 boards are official boards. ~ User:Stardust 01:09, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC) ---- no problem, anytime. Now you've motivated me to go look through my pictures from my Philmont trek, to see if there's anything worth uploading. User:Gentgeen ---- I rewrote the last part of Westron, what do you think? User:Darkelf 15:20, Dec 24, 2003 (UTC) ---- Ok, I've given my views at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Games. If you'd like to join in the discussion, please do. User:Gentgeen 08:38, 7 Jan 2004 (UTC) --- Thanks. I've corrected my spelling. User:Secretlondon 14:16, Jan 22, 2004 (UTC) == On test (student assessment) == Hi Smack, I just read what you wrote last September about multiple choice tests: :''If a subject makes an error and produces an answer that is not an option, the subject will see that he or she is wrong. As a result, he or she will probably continue working until an allowable answer is achieved. If the subject fails to produce an allowable answer after an inordinate amount of time, he will probably suffer from dramatically increased anxiety, leading to a cascade of further errors not representative of his actual level of knowledge.'' I was about to write a new article on multiple choice tests when I found out -- just in time -- that you had included a paragraph or two on that subject in the general article on testing. Now I've been trying hard to understand the passage quoted above, but I think I failed. How can an examinee "see that he or she is wrong"? Where does that form of instant feedback come from? All the best, User:KF 22:13, 4 Feb 2004 (UTC) ==rocks and minerals project== Since you've contributed in the rock (geology)s and minerals area before, wanted to let you know that I created a Wikipedia:WikiProject Rocks and Minerals if you'd like to join. User:Elf 04:56, 5 Feb 2004 (UTC) ---- ==Press Release== I see you contributed to the creation of the press release. Might you be willing to follow these Wikipedia:Press releases/How to send a press release, and send off the Wikipedia:Press releases/February 2004? -- user:zanimum ==Marduk (planet)== Somebody's put the content of Marduk (planet) and Nibiru on the same page as you requested at Pages needing attention, but they're not really "merged" yet. Yeah, it's a crackpot theory, but quite popular among the New Age "scientist" types. --User:Zandperl 16:07, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC) ---- Hi, there have been some suggestions that we need to start cleaning out the old requests posted to Wikipedia:Peer review. You are receiving this because you have posted one or more requests that have been there a long time. When you have a moment, please check it out and remove the request(s), along with any related material, if you have received adequate feedback. Thanks! -- User:Wapcaplet 23:18, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC) ---- Hello, I've just found your comment concerning "flint and steel fire" Smack. The answer to your question (why it was a separate page to "campfire") is that it ''felt'' right that way at a gut level. If you'd prefer to merge the two I wouldn't be at all worried. Either way is fine with me. I suppose it ''felt right'' the way I wrote it because of particular history of flint and steel fires and the way this particular method is celebrated, but it's no big deal either way. --User:Wayland 14:44, 3 Apr 2004 (UTC) ---- Is there a way to place a caret symbol over a character, as for unit vectors in physics? Smack 02:55, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC) :use \hat. i added a thing to the meta page. - User:Omegatron 14:52, Apr 13, 2004 (UTC) ---- Hi, please reconsider your opinion of molbo, I have now expanded the article a little to try to clarify.

I have a sister who is learning to use the PC after at least 25 years of smack and morphine and sulphate abuse, and an ex alcholic, who lived on the streets of Brighton (UK) trying to save the souls of the lost.

I've been working a lot on the articles about SpaceShipOne, and I think its main article would greatly benefit from a diagram illustrating the standard flight profile. There's room there for some other diagrams too if you feel like it. TIA. User:81.168.80.170 21:19, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC) ==Peterhof== Nice edits to the Peterhof page. I did change Nazi back to German Army, as I had previously some time ago. I think this is better because it emphasizes the awful things that the military can do in wartime, independent of political leadership (although I have no doubt this was encouraged by the Nazis). The former is kind of like saying that the Democratic Party was responsible for the Me Li Massacre. Also, I added a Meteor Hydrofoil picture, but It could probably be better placed as it is too close to the chapel picture. User:Leonard G. 23:43, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC) ---- Crikey! I went through enough trouble trying to fit the seven existing pictures onto that one page, and hydrofoils aren't terribly relevant anyway. I think I'll take it out. --Smack 23:51, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC) ---- Actually, I was about to put the Hydrofoil pix in the Tourist Info (where it belongs, but conflicted with your edit. I notice you orphaned the western part of the Grand Cascade at the bottom. Perhaps this should be deleted. I have a nicer detail pix that could go below the initial overview.User:Leonard G. 00:02, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC) ---- == communist parties == I agree with you on disputing the proposed merger of Communist Party of America and Communist Party USA]. They are two separate entities; the CPUSA was not simply a continuation of the Communist Party of America. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help; feel free to copy or quote this remark elsewhere. -- User:Jmabel 04:28, Sep 2, 2004 (UTC) == Kardeş Turkuler== Hi - I've been a bit busy for Wiki for a while, but the translation of Kardes Turkuler is pretty awful.

It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- User:Ram-Man ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit§ion=new comment]| User talk:Ram-Man ==Mooney Falls== How do you see this[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Mooney_Falls&diff=8546280&oldid=8539037] as a copyvio of this[http://www.waterfallswest.com/az-mooney-falls.html]? The original version was indeed a copy of the latter, but I re-wrote it mostly from scratch, referencing info from two other websites that isn't included on the waterfallswest.com site--different height, different lat/long, etc.. User:Niteowlneils 19:36, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC) ==Hardware RNG== I've moved this back from Hardware random-number generator; usage seems to favour leaving out the hyphen. See [http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=%22hardware+random-number+generator%22 this Google test]. User:Matt Crypto 19:07, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC) == Pickle == Hello. I'm curious... which info from Gherkin were you proposing should be merged to Pickle? As far as I can see, all the info in Gherkin is specific to that topic (but I'm ready to be enlightened, and Pickle might well benefit from some more attention). User:Man vyi 20:19, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC) :Thanks for the explanation. I'd be inclined to leave it myself - but then I'm no expert on North American pickles. User:Man vyi 18:07, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC) == Check == Moved from Wikipedia:Translation into English (I'm doing cleanup there): *Article: Check *This isn't really a translation request. I just made this page into a disambig, and tried to comply with Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Interlanguage_links by moving all of the interlanguage links to the appropriate pages. I know enough about European languages to know if a German is speaking of a financial instrument or a state of a chess game, but Japanese is entirely beyond my capability. Could someone put that link where it belongs? *Originally requested by: User:Smack 02:59, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC) *Status: Fixed interlanguage links in en and jp. -- User:Felix Wan 03:05, 2004 Dec 24 (UTC) You might want to check (so to speak) and make sure everything is in order there, but I figured there is no point in having this notice keep hanging our when someone says the task is complete. -- User:Jmabel | User talk:Jmabel 03:19, Feb 11, 2005 (UTC) ==WP:RfD== Ah, how did you managed to miss the big "If you modify this list, do the same to the copy at Wikipedia:Redirect" notice at the top of the "When should we delete a redirect?" section? Also, your addition is somewhat superfluous, since such redirs are already speedy candidates. Finally, you didn't need to do anything in this case; see your RfD entry. User:Jnc User_talk:Jnc 20:39, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC) : I know the feeling. I took a long Wikibreak at one point, and things had change a lot when I came back. Oh well. User:Jnc User_talk:Jnc 22:36, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC) ==Legendre polys etc. == Hi, no problem, I replied on my talk page. Ask a question any time. User:Linas 05:33, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC) == ho there == Your (Kremlin) image links don't work. User:Ground 23:40, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC) I found the error on your user page. User:Ground 23:18, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC) == Garibaldi == Hello. I'm sorry, but it wasn't me who made the changes you reported, but 209.50.129.121; he/she made several good changes, but ''Cadenza'' and ''Ebola'' are vandalisms, that I am going to revert. I was thinking also to remove the description of the battle of Lissa, first because is not so fitting in the article, second because there's a good article in Battle of Lissa (1866). --User:Panairjdde 07:49, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC) == Moved from top of page == Hey, Smack! Sounds like your a pretty big BSA fan (I am too). Check out my troop's site, if you want: www.troop1018.org Specifially, this part: http://www.troop1018.org/Hints_info_checklists/a_helpful_hints_index.htm It has a lot of useful BSA and camping information, so don't fear that I'm just spamming you. --User:Wcd 04:10, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC) ==Legendre polynomials== Answered your question on legendre polynomials; in short, they're the same thing. User:Linas 17:04, 8 May 2005 (UTC) ==TeX== Right: :f_{lm}(\theta) = \frac{(sin\theta)^{|m|}}{2^l l!} \left [ \frac{d}{d(cos\theta)} \right ]^{l+|m|}(cos^2(\theta)-1)^l Wrong: :f_{lm}(\theta) = \frac{(\sin\theta)^{|m|}}{2^l l!} \left [ \frac{d}{d(\cos\theta)} \right ]^{l+|m|}(\cos^2(\theta)-1)^l Notice the difference between the following: :\cos x\, :cos x\, The preceeding backslash not only prevents the letters "c", "o", and "s" from begin italicized as if they were variables, but also provides proper spacing. Similarly write \det, \log, \sin, \max, \min, \exp, \sup, \lim, etc. In the case of \max, \min, \sup, \inf, and \lim the preceeding backslash also causes subscripts to appear directly under the operator rather than below and right, thus: :\max_{x\in A}f(x)\, User:Michael Hardy 21:44, 8 May 2005 (UTC) == :Image:Arhangelsky Sobor (Kreml).JPG == Hi Smack, how are you? About this image you submitted to commons, you never assigned it a license. Is this a copyrighted image, did you take this picture yourself or what? In the future please specify a copyright license. Thanks--:es:usuario discusión:Orgullomoore == Backpacks == Hey smack, i editted your bit about external-frame backpacks in the US basically because I don't see that many externals here. There are only 2 or 3 companies that still offer external frames (kelty and camp trails, being the biggest) and most gear pages (backpacker.com, for instance) don't even mention external frame backpacks anymore. I'm looking for a figure, but I can imagine that a huge majority of backpacks sold in the US are internal frame. Here in Iowa anyway, external frames are rare finds anymore. I think if you're going to note that externals have dissappeared from the UK, you might as well also note that they're dissappearing in the US as well. Also, props for picking Snow Peak GigaPower over the pocketrocket for your portable stove article. Gigapower's durability makes it the better purchase. :) User:Pwilt328 18:34, 15 May 2005 (UTC) :Hm. Guess I need to buy a new backpack :-) -- User:Hike395 == Cleanup of Hiking == Hey, Smack. I just did a major refactor of hiking. What do you think? Can we remove the cleanup notice, or is there more to do? Please respond at Talk:Hiking. Thanks! -- User:Hike395 02:19, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
