    Wait a minute here! Why is a circuit by Bill Bowden taking up bandwidth at that Wiki site, when one can easily access that and many more of his circuits directly from his personal site????? I would think any circuit submissions would be our own homegrown variety... such as AG's improved FM transmitter.

    It appears as a direct copy of text and images which might be considered plagiarism or worse copyright violation.
    Some circuits like a 555 timers or so common that it would be silly to re-invent the wheel, but with that said. Text should be provided by author and any concepts derived from other sources need citation. Not only is citations polite, they also give credibility to the text. Like in Wiki, links to references are given.

    Well this is the learning phase, so we have our first example of what not to do...
    Pay it forward.

    Looks like I stuck my foot in my mouth. I seem to be a little scatter brained since I started writing my book, "How to Win Friends and Influence People"

    OK, I cannot insert an image. I even tried HTML code and uploaded a schematic to MediaFire. When I previewed it showed the code. No picture.

    Under the search box left side screen is a upload file option. Have you tried that?

    For some reason it put a box around my description??? I have to go through and insert "Enters" all through that paragraph. Where is the OP?
