Your edit to Ohm

Hi. I have reverted your edit, because it is wrong: the SI unit is the ohm, as stated at the head of this article and in the article SI derived units. Please do not insert misinformation. JohnCD (talk) 18:43, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Err... And as stated in SI prefixes, the prefix meaning 10⁶ is mega. Thus megaohm is a non-coherent derived SI unit. megohm is meaningless.Depictionimage (talk) 23:59, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I see what you meant - it read as though you were saying that the meg(a)ohm, not the ohm, was the SI unit. As regards megohm versus megaohm, I think both are acceptable, and certainly megohm is not "meaningless" - it is commonly used and appears in dictionaries; see this discussion and the statement from the National Institute of Standards and Technology that there are "three cases in which the final vowel of an SI prefix is commonly omitted: megohm (not megaohm), kilohm (not kiloohm), and hectare (not hectoare)." (link from the second item on this page, though the actual page seems to be unavailable till Monday). Regards, JohnCD (talk) 15:13, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

"The most commonly used multiples and submultiples in electrical and electronic usage are the milliohm, ohm, kiloohm, and megaohm (commonly referred to as kilohm, and megohm)."? Depictionimage (talk) 00:44, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Yes, that looks fine. JohnCD (talk) 08:20, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Your edits to Arc welding

Please be more careful with your edits: this one caused problems which another editor sorted out by reverting it: if you look at this version of the article, which is how you left it, you will see a lot of red warnings which are there because the "convert" function you introduced does not work with temperature ranges. There is no reason you should have known that, though Template:Convert does warn that "The range functionality is not fully implemented for all units, so experimentation may be required"; but what you should have done, in fact should always do, is use the "Show preview" button to check that your edits were OK, and not clicked "Save page" until you had sorted out any problems. I have also changed back your other three edits to this article, where you changed upper-case initial letters to lower case in the names of articles linked to: the Wikipedia convention is that article titles start with an upper-case letter, so your changes would have involved an unnecessary redirect when the links were used. Before you make a change, please consider carefully whether it is actually necessary, or whether there is perhaps a reason that the article is the way it is. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 19:14, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

• I take back some of the above - I see you were trying to make a template do range conversion. But what I said about using "Show preview" to make sure all is well is still good advice. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 20:37, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Nishantkumar.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Nishantkumar.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Darkwind (talk) 00:43, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Nishantkumar.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Nishantkumar.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:23, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
