Things I would like to do later
editAround June 2014: check at File talk:Spectrum Diagram.PNG for a reply. (The user I wrote to doesn't seem to edit Wikipedia that often.)
Note to self
Regarding a certain dispute in a #Safety article section: It is interesting. The woman who is also involved in the dispute doesn't mind the text being there; she just doesn't want to link to another wiki, since it is an unreliable source. Maybe I could ask on IRC what to do. Or maybe it's sufficient just to use a link to the source which contains a disclaimer in the link text. —Unforgettableid (talk) 03:10, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
