December 2008

Jake,

I appreciate your interest in preventing vandalism. However, the changes I made are not vandalism. For an article I'm working on, I need a link to diffusion-controlled reactions. None existed, but I found the page "diffusion control", which was orphaned. I renamed it to a title that, I hope, readers will be able to find more easily. Although the page is still orphaned, I plan to add a link to it, which is why I removed the notice about the page being orphaned. Also, I added updated the reference, and put it in a reference section. Since the article is short, I thought the notice about no references could be removed. I left the notice about the article being a stub. I would like to do some more editing, on that page. Would you mind reverting your "reversion"?

Thanks,

No problem. Sorry about that. Jake Wartenbergtalk 00:38, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect

[edit]

I'm curious about your recent edits to Kinetic theory. What exactly did you believe that "bots" would be doing over the next few days? --R'n'B (call me Russ) 16:07, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Russ, The page "Kinetic Theory of Gases" had previously existed as a redirect page. I moved the article "Kinetic theory" to "Kinetic theory of gases". Now, "Kinetic theory" is the redirect page. However, it seems to have hundreds of links to it. Somewhere I read that a bot would clean up such things; I may be mistaken. Chris Christopher King (talk) 16:48, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid you are. A bot will fix redirects to the old title, if there were any, but there is no bot that will change any other kind of links to a moved page. It's up to you to WP:FIXDABLINKS. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 17:12, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Kelvin scale

[edit]

Let's discuss this on the article's talk page. My understanding and a current textbook (Silberberg/Amateis "Chemistry") agree with the article more than your change. Where is your reference that it's always lower-case "k"? Tarl N. (discuss) 00:53, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]


Tarl, I'm just back in my office where I can look at how chemistry books handle this. Your point is taken: The four general chemistry books I looked at all referred to "Kelvin scale", rather than "kelvin scale". I don't find an authoritative reference one way or the other. Although I prefer "kelvin scale", I don't think "Kelvin scale" is wrong, so I'll not try to make a case for changing it. Christopher King (talk) 14:43, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. By the way, your Talkback template didn't work - you have to capitalize your name when you add it to a template like that. E.g., {{Talkback|ChristopherKingChemist}}. Other than the first letter (which is a special case), capitals are distinct letters. Regards, Tarl N. (discuss) 19:56, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
