Barnstar

Hey, thanks for the barnstar! And thanks for working on the definition with me. Wizard191 (talk) 14:59, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Many thanks for my star, too. Especially welcome after the debacle of the failed FAC acid dissociation constant. Petergans (talk) 22:23, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Flagged Revs

Hi,

I noticed you voted oppose in the flag revs straw pole and would like to ask if you would mind adding User:Promethean/No to your user or talk page to make your position clear to people who visit your page :) - Thanks to Neurolysis for the template   «l| Ψrometheăn ™|l»  (talk) 06:44, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Constrictivity

I see you translated the German article. Good job, well done. FYI what you find under "Literatur" in the German article are actually references for the whole article. --Rosentod (talk) 19:20, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Careful

Here, you added some information about the Marangoni effect and gas bubbles. This is good. However, you also mentioned that "References and further reading may be available for this article. To view references and further reading you must purchase this article."

This is not something that a Wikipedia article should say. I've trimmed the inappropriate content; please be more careful when citing journals in the future. DS (talk) 15:04, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Cinema of Poland

Thanks for the corrections. BTW, as to this edit, could you also correct other articles on cinema in France, UK or Germany? The phrase you deleted was directly copied from one of those :) //Halibutt 19:19, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Conductivity (electrolytic)

Hello Stan. I've just put up a new article Conductivity (electrolytic). I don't have any hands-on experience of conductivity measurements. It appears that you have, so please have a look and modify as you see fit. Petergans (talk) 09:20, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Porosity

Could you give short explanation on talk, as a reaction to my doubts, that things are as simple as you formulated them. My doubts are motivated by the fact that areas and volumes d not scale proportionally but with the power 1.5.

Thanks. Tomeasy _{T C} 08:53, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

etymology of Hajduki

Do you really believe the heide (moorland) theory belongs at the beginning of that section? It doesn't appear to enjoy much support, you provided a link to a forum (which doesn't meet Wikipedia's reliable sources criteria) but even there they don't seem convinced by the theory. Can you give an example of other place names in that regions which have adopted -uk endings? Otherwise, I think the hajduk explanation should be listed most prominently.Wherey (talk) 17:53, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Distances

Te "dystanse" wpisane w artykuł robią trochę komplikacji i zamieszania:

1. Sam wybór miejsca jest kontrowersyjny i może być osądzony jako POV. Jedni mogą napisać "a dlaczego nie Chorzów", jeszcze inni "a dlaczego nie Sosnowiec" itd.
2. Komplikacje są już przy samych odległościach np. odległość Katowic do Tychów wynosi rzekomo 17.3 km, a mapa i geografia mówi jednoznacznie że Katowice graniczą bezpośrednio z Tychami więc odległość wynosi 0 km. Oczywiście, można się domyślać wielu rzeczy np. że źródło odległości jest kiepskim źródłem lub że są to odległości centrum Katowic do centrum Tychów albo centrum Katowic do granicy z Tychami, albo odległość pomiędzy osiami - styk północ-południe i wschód-zachód czyli wyliczony środek miast i odległość pomiędzy środkami miast albo albo albo itd. Można się domyślać wielu rzeczy.
3. Twój argument, że na mapce nie ma skali nie jest dobrym argumentem. Prawie wszystkie mapki miast itp na Commons/Wikipedii nie mają skali. Prawie nigdzie w artykułach na Wikipedii nie są wypisane odległości pomiędzy poszczególnymi dzielnicami/jednostkami administracyjnymi na tak dużą skalę. Jak zostałoby to na dłużej w artykule to niedługo w artykule Warszawa będą wypisane odległości pomiędzy Wilanowem a Pragą Północ itd. To samo dotyczyło by innych miast np. Rzymu o powierzchni podobnej do USMU (1,285.3 km2) czy 10 razy większego Sydney (12144.6 km²). Zanim w artykułach na tak dużą skalę będą wypisane odległości pomiędzy dzielnicami/jednostkami administracyjnymi należałoby to przedyskutować w ogólnodostępnej dyskusji w wieloma innymi wikipedystami. Dopiero jeśli decyzja byłaby pozytywna (konsensus) można by wprowadzać to do artykułów. Tymczasem niech pozostanie po staremu.

Jeśli coś tworzy tyle komplikacji, tyle "albo" to po prostu lepiej sobie to darować. Pozdrawiam. PS. Sorki, że piszę po polsku - w języku angielskim z takim długim tekstem męczyłbym się ponad godzinę ;) LUCPOL (talk) 22:21, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Overpotential

I like the table you added to Overpotential but it would be even nicer if you referenced the origin of the values. For future reference all English notations uses "decimal points" instead of "commas" as a place holder (I don't know the proper mathematical language for this other than decimal point). In English science commas are informally used to denote the difference between a thousand, million, billion, etc. Again the table is a nice addition but it will probably have to be delete if it isn't sourced.--OMCV (talk) 03:34, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:48, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Solubility quilibrium

Please look at Talk:Solubility_equilibrium#general formula and comment there. I worked out the formula myself because I could not find it in any of the books at my disposal (Vogel, Skoog). Petergans (talk) 11:16, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

History of Silesia.

I reverted your change because you removed all information from the lede about the plebescites and uprisings that lead to the granting of partial autonomy to the region in 1920. You even removed the fact that Autonomy was granted. All of this is a summary of the article. It is precisely because of these events that the Voivodeship is mentioned in history textbooks, both in Poland and abroad.

The sentence you added is NOT a summary of any material presented in the article. The present-day autonomy movement is not mentioned (nor should it be), and present-day Polish politics really has nothing to do with the scope of this article. Even in present-day Polish politics, Silesian autonomy is very far down on the list of burning items. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 20:36, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

I also don't understand what you mean by autonomy being "buried" in the article. The first paragraph of the lead consists of little else besides the events leading up to the granting of autonomy in 1920, and the act granting autonomy itself. The words "autonomy" or "autonomous" appear no less than eight times in this article, and appear, as I said, in the very first paragraph of the lead, as well as at the very top of the infobox to the right.

The "17" is there to preserve uniformity among articles pertaining to Polish Voivodships. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 20:43, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Field effect - Wien effect

Hi. Could you add some formulae to the article Wien effect?--5.13.77.254 (talk) 06:30, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Ways to improve Theodor Kalide

Hi, I'm Bensci54. Stan J Klimas, thanks for creating Theodor Kalide!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Including a list of notable works would be a good addition to this article.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. —Preceding undated comment added 22:52, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Ionic mobility

Hi, Stan! I've seen your contribution regarding various aspects from electrochemistry. I ask in this context your feedback on the possible occurence of ionic mobility in some electrochemical kinetics expressions ? Could it appear or not in rate equations?--188.26.22.131 (talk) 09:59, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
