==Welcome==
Hello, [[Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers|welcome]] to Wikipedia.
Line 230 ⟶ 231:
Could you please tell me in detail how you made your original maps? For now, I will try on my own to produce one similar to yours, and see what progress I will make.
Best regards, <span style="background-color: lightslategray;"> [[User:Short Verses|'''<
*Okay, I tried redoing the map myself and got something similar to yours, located [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:MissionViejoCALM.GIF here]. Tell me what you think. Sincerely, <span style="background-color: lightslategray;"> [[User:Short Verses|'''<
*I just added a link to the article of the county that contains the area underneath each map. For example, [[Irvine, California|this]] is what I did for Irvine. Most county articles have locator maps for the counties themselves, so that should work.

== Naming conventions for television shows (again) ==
I saw that you were [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Naming_conventions_%28television%29#Another_poll_-_Why.3F active in the first vote] for naming conventions of television program(mes). Well it has raised it's ugly head again and I would appreciate any comments you have to make about my [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (television)/draft|new proposal for naming television shows]]. Please leave comments [[Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation#Disambiguation for television shows|here]].

== Cerritos map ==
Hey there--I've seen your work on the Palmdale map and I would like to request if you could do something similar to the [[Cerritos, California|Cerritos, California]] article (___location in state and county map)? The map for it was recently removed because of improper citations. Any contributions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance. [[User:AManSac|AManSac]] 10:17, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
:Done! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Cerritos_in_LA_County_map.png I haven't inserted it in the page yet. [[User:Mackerm|Mackerm]] 20:59, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi,
It may seem insignificant, but I on the Santa Clarita Valley heading, the description given for the valley is directly from my web site - Santa Clarita Valley Resources Page - http://www.scvresources.com
While two people may come to a similar statment, either cite it as my site, or come up with your own. I have dealt with too many sites taking my web site without permission. Copyright still applies here.

==Atkinson cycle==
I was writing a response to your post to the discussion page when you reverted it and I got an edit conflict. Since I've already written it, I figured I'd go ahead and let you look at it and see if it clarified things. If you have any questions, drop a note on my talk page. [[User:Fluzwup|scot]] 20:28, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
:I read through the article, and I don't see "slower" anywhere in there, so I'm not sure what you're talking about. There are, however, two things described in this article; the Atkinson cycle, and the engine Atkinson desinged to work around the Otto cycle patents.
:The Atkinson designed engine can work just like an Otto cycle engine, but firing each piston on every revolution of the crankshaft by using a linkage that doubles the stroke freqency. This Atkinson came up with to bypass the Otto patents. By altering this linkage, however, it is possible to have 2 different length strokes in the cycle, and that's where the new Atkinson cycle comes in.
:The root of the Atkinson cycle is that intake/compression strokes are shorter than power/exhaust strokes. That allows for more energy to be extracted from a given volume of combustion gas, as the exhaust port pressure will be lower than an engine with 4 equal length strokes. A similar concept would be the second stage on a double expansion steam engine; the same amount of hot, high pressure gas goes in, but more work is extracted.
:The Atkins cycle can be simulated in an Otto cycle engine by holding the intake valve open long enough to allow air to be pushed out of the cylinder, thus under-charging the cylinder, and using a smaller combustion chamber to recoup the lost compression. This is what's currently being done in hybrids. A similar engine is the Miller cycle engine, which leaves the combustion chamber the same size and adds a supercharger to the equation; this recoups the power loss, but at some efficiency sacrifice, but still gains a bit because the supercharger is a more efficient compressor than the piston is.
