Is a GA and is listed for peer review. I think the current drive for FA can be used to make it better, and useful (for other articles). I was asked to have a look, and I'm sort of footballing it to you :-). Materialscientist (talk) 09:52, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well - was gonna say no (dislike those picky review thingys), but scanned a bit a caught a glaring geo error ... and - aw well, what else am I gonna do while the morning caffeine kicks in :) Vsmith (talk) 13:26, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I saw, and frankly this is what I expected - a quick scan for glaring errors. I did something similar and might come back there over the weekend. I cheated in the infobox by taking data for corundum - this variety might have a narrower spread in density, refractive index, and other properties like habit (per geology). Not sure the mineralbox is needed there at all, maybe convert it to prose using specific data for Yogos. Materialscientist (talk) 13:46, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Just added (corundum variety) to infobox title - may tweak a bit more. Vsmith (talk) 14:02, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have tried to work the things on the talk page. Thanks for your subject matter knowledge and wiki help. Oh, does this statement "In contrast to traditional Montana sapphires, Yogo sapphires are almost always blue, because their bedrock has a longer cooling time, allowing the trace titanium and iron to spread evenly throughout the mineral rough.[1]" make geologic sense (see the ref). IE, is it just the trace or also the even spreading of the trace? PumpkinSky talk 02:44, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Note the geologist's comments: But he speculates that ... longer cooling times might allow the titanium and iron to spread more uniformly through the crystals, affecting the color. He's speculating, but it does seem logical, slow cookin' makes uniform product. I would change "bedrock" to "host rock" (bedrock has a different meaning) and "mineral rough" to "sapphire crystals throughout the intrusive body" or something akin to that. Vsmith (talk) 11:18, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
How about..."In contrast to traditional Montana sapphires, Yogo sapphires are almost always blue, because their host rock has a longer cooling time, allowing the trace titanium and iron to spread evenly throughout the sapphire crystals throughout the intrusive body.[1]"
A bit heavy on the throughouts. Maybe ...allowing the trace titanium and iron to be evenly distributed in the sapphire crystals throughout the intrusive body. Vsmith (talk) 17:43, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. In Judith Mountains, you recently added a link to the disambiguation page Little Bighorn (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. For more information, see the FAQ or drop a line at the DPL WikiProject.

Neutron capture

Adding citation needed not bad but entry not from myslef first deleted then leftfor clarification comes from star- science with entries in german wikipedia. New words like s-process not explaned and strange that gold important after german wikipedia for building up but real down as element and after adding neutron it could be beaten out again 197Au->198Au ß- ->198Hg-n->197Hg ß- ->197Au.

You can follow link "inside stars" I don`t know how to upload pictures with absorption Mo,Yb from myself exellent and Mo cheap and heavy like UO2 1A with Mo2B, MoxC, MoNx found by natural isotope existence with 99.9% sure without absorption datas also absorption for 3He, 4B http://www-nds.iaea.org/pgaa/pgaa7/index.html Kay Uwe Böhm (talk) 18:57, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Eh? I'll give you a simple hint. My grasp of German language is very poor (stems back to a class in 1972, but little used). And that is why I don't attempt to edit the German Wikipedia. Cheers, Vsmith (talk) 23:30, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

197Au+n → 198Au+γ, or in short form 197Au(n,γ)198Au I thought myself already ading is explanation of not very sensefull not much shorter writing with γ to be left also away same size. Rest just destructive inside and molybdenum and ytterbium must be ferenced to myslef like THOR design at pabble bed side since long time like for Areva Antares. Stone of the philophers not important and how to make gold before said planned already for "Kalkar" breeder beating out neutrons or sure absorbing and epsilon decay for 196Hg inside mercury table proofes ? Important hints for A-industrie and security in future ! If don`t understand anything about don`t delete for others ! Kay Uwe Böhm (talk) 17:45, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

and molybdenum and ytterbium must be ferenced to myslef... No, we don't reference to "ourselves", we reference only to reliable sources - but you seem to be unwilling to do that. And I understand quite a bit, I can recognize self-promotion and near unreadable garp when I see it. Vsmith (talk) 17:55, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edits made by user Kay Uwe Böhm

Informing you about to delete molybdenum, ytterbium,mo2b5 and who deleted and you clear wrong with# disruptive inside talk box not neutron capture just right deleting... still in history enough outside and information also inside spreadable other admistrator sides over just new name you don´t know also as admistrator but why or orgnazing a contra group against admistrators like arch dude, 1exex1, VSmith, Shinaloblw, material scientist if true, Shinkolobwe, 1947enkidu, LikeLakers2, Oda Mari, PumpkinSky maybe same just new admistrator name , Hozro from R.M.

Sorry to disturb you as a WP administrator, it is not my habit, but the user Kay Uwe Böhm continues his disruptive edits about nuclear technology. Have a look at his last junk edits and at the today history of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster and its talkpage. I have controlled many of the contributions he made since 14 October 2011 and none is worth. See my very recent comments on the talkpage of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. What to do? Best regards, Shinkolobwe (talk) 18:40, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to the Enkidu1947 wise remark, I will also support a definitive blocking of this edit-warrior Kay Uwe Böhm. Best regards, Shinkolobwe (talk) 19:09, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your rapid answer. Now he is trolling me directly on my talkpage where he created a new section Shinkolobwe#peblle bed reactor with an IP address: 95.88.170.214 from Bremen in Germany (Kabel Deutschland Breitband Service GMBH; Domain: kabeldeutschland.com). He is also trolling another user/administrator on his talk page with the same IP address: see User_talk:Mikenorton#Fukushima_Daiichi_nuclear_disaster. It seems you are not the only person which he annoys. Shinkolobwe (talk) 21:42, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Negative

not a mess, it puts all the refs in one section so when you're in edit mode you are actually reading mostly prose rather than trying to figure out where the prose ia amongst a MESS of ref code.PumpkinSky talk 21:30, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it has advantages, but when a ref gets chopped it must be double chopped and the refs to chop were in a "notes" section, rather than "references" like the ugly red warning tag said. Sorry 'bout that - just venting mild frustration in edit summary. Cheers, Vsmith (talk) 21:42, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Name Change

Thanks for the note on my casual Great Rift Valley move. I gave a rationale on the talk page. I mostly work on African articles, where there are all sorts of interesting topics with no coverage but plenty of sources. So few editors take any interest in this huge area, I am sort of in the habit of moving when it seems to make sense without asking for comment, rather than waiting for ever for someone to take an interest in a proposal. That is not an excuse though. Thanks, Aymatth2 (talk) 20:56, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Christopher Columbus page edits

Thank you for intervening in the Christopher Columbus page edits. We really need fresh eyes on this page as well as a rewrite to condense the enormous lists added. A similar issue is ongoing with Columbus's wife's page, Filipa Moniz. I would like to enlist the help of unbiased third parties to have a look and rewrite or delete whatever is necessary. Colon-el-Nuevo (talk) 00:49, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome. I noted the request for protection by a reliable chap, took a look at the article history and acted on it. Good luck on reaching a consensus, but I have no interest in getting involved in those disputes. Will be watching when the protection expires. Happy editing!

Feedback on Ammolite page

Dear Vsmith - thank you so much for your feedback. I've never added or edited anything on Wikipedia before (well - I tried before but didn't have the right reference information - so it was all deleted).

I appreciate your help. I didn't realize a self-published book wasn't allowed. It is near impossible to find printed information about ammolite, especially how to process it step-by-step. But I understand that might appear self-promoting.

I hope the rest of the edits were acceptable.

Thanks again,

Stoichiometry

Hi Vsmith,

I'm intrigued to know why you keep on reverting the molar info on ammonia. After extensively seeking details on websites, I conclude that it is normally done by molecules, not atoms. Basically, you start off with diatomic nitrogen and diatomic hydrogen, and turn them into 4-atom molecules of ammonia. The equation is

N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3.

It is not 2N + 6H → 2NH3, or N + 3H → NH3. You cannot have monatomic nitrogen or hydrogen in normal circumstances. Therefore you would start off with, say, 1 mole of nitrogen (mass 28 grams) and 3 moles of hydrogen (mass 6 grams) and convert them to 2 moles of ammonia (mass 34 grams). All the websites I could find which say it gives 1 mole of ammonia seem to be copies of the mistake introduced into the Wikipedia article about a year ago. Websites which seem to know what they are talking about say it gives 2 moles of ammonia. Stating the masses makes it even clearer. Could you please un-revert the correct information?

Refs. http://www.chemtutor.com/mols.htm http://www.chemteam.info/Stoichiometry/Mole-Mole.html http://www.wpi.edu/Academics/Depts/Chemistry/Courses/General/concept8.html http://academic.evergreen.edu/curricular/matterandmotion/chem_phys%5Cpractice_problems.htm

Yellowbroom, 29 Dec 2011. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.27.8.231 (talk) 14:02, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Look again at the bolded paragraph title "Composition stoichiometry" - not "reaction stoichiometry" which you are trying to make it. The reaction stoichiometry for forming ammonia is given just above. Your refs above are all discussiog reaction stoichiometry which is the more common usage of the term. However, composition stoichiometry or "formula stoichiometry" as I refer to it is an important concept in teaching chemistry. Taught chemistry to teenagers for 25 years and used a large chunk (~3.5 kg) of chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) from a copper mine as an example. I would ask them how much copper was in the sample and then use "composition stoichiometry" to solve the problem. Vsmith (talk) 14:53, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder if you could do me a favor and take a quick look at this. It just got nominated for DYK, and I am uncertain about whether it is in good enough shape for that. I have been pottering around with other articles in the area and expected to return & fix up obvious distortions & omissions later. Thanks, Aymatth2 (talk) 19:40, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify, I tried to put in simple language what I thought the sources said, but do not know if I picked good sources or really understood them. And there seems to be a fair amount of controversy, maybe because new tools, techniques and information keep appearing. Only if you have time, of course. The article as it is can do no great harm and may make a few geologists laugh. Aymatth2 (talk) 01:26, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Took a quick look and no glaring problems noted :) Don't know much 'bout the DYK criteria. Vsmith (talk) 02:59, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
DYK criteria are mostly just basic things like neutral, verifiable etc. But I was a bit uneasy with my interpretation of the sources on this one and would not have nominated it myself. Thanks for taking a look. Aymatth2 (talk) 04:00, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Question about Larimar page

I'm doing some research about Larimar and discovered at least one error on the Larimar page. I'm happy to make the edit to correct the error but want to know if anyone is still active on the page. The detail in question is in the "Geology" section of the page, which states the blue color of Larimar is caused by cobalt impurities. I have several references that suggest that copper, not cobalt, is the cause of color. Do you know of anyone still working on this page who might know where the reference to cobalt came from? If I can't find anyone I'll update the content and add the citation for the references I have.

Beth Carter — Preceding unsigned comment added by BethCarter (talkcontribs) 06:01, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know about the cobalt bit and I see it has a cite needed tag, so change it with a citation. Two of your listed potential sources are definetly commercial websites and not reliable sources. The Gems and Gemology article and the minerals.net page would work (although the minerals.net is rather ad heavy). Go ahead with your edit. Please note that the page has a history of pure promotional editing, seems people want to sell the stuff :) Cheers, Vsmith (talk) 14:48, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the input. I'm very new to Wikipedia editing though I've used it for a while. Your comment about promotional editing is interesting. That's pretty much the reason I'm starting to edit. We travel a lot and I'm frustrated by the abundance of misinformation given to people in major travel destinations about gemstones. I'm hoping I can help get accurate information out there, and Wikipedia seems to have the same attitude I do, so I'll see where this goes. Finding an adopter will probably be appropriate long run but for now I'll just start with some factual edits I can verify. You've done such a great job answering my question ... You'll probably get more from me! Mineralogy (studied under Barb Dutrow at LSU), gemology (GG from GIA), and technical writing (day job) are my greatest professional level interests. In the specific edit here, I planned on using the G&G article as the citation - I'll figure out how to do that. BethCarter (talk) 23:34, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Great! Glad to have someone with a gemmology background editing. Many of the gemstone articles are in need of some TLC by an expert. My interest is more in rock forming and ore minerals, background in economic geology. Studied X-ray crystallography under John Anthony at the University of Arizona back in the 70s.
If you need help with the referencing bit, just ask - WP:Citing sources can be a bit overwelming at times. Vsmith (talk) 13:50, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I found something called an external link, which I now cannot find again. It referenced teh Winter 1989 G&G issue, in particular the article about larimar, but had the wrong title, something about blue in the caribbean. So .. first, what's the difference between an external link and a citation reference (it seems to me they do the same thing, verify information), and second, how can I find that external link again? In reading the editing tutorial, it seems I need to enter it as a footnote, but if what really needs to happen is an update to that external link, I can do that and then use it. Heading the right direction? BethCarter (talk) 03:24, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I added the ref statement. I received a note that I created a new external link, but it doesn't show in the article's list of ext links. Can you take a look and let me know if I did this correctly? BethCarter (talk) 05:36, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like you've got it. Might add page numbers for the Gems & Gemology article. The difference between a reference and an external link is simple: a reference supports specific parts of the text, whereas an external link provides further or related info for readers to find more on the subject. References are required to verify what we write - external links are not required. Congratulations, you've figured out an important part of editing. Charge on!

Follow up on old discussion: Schneider, Waterman, jewelry designers

Hi Vsmith. Happy New Year. Please view older discussion of September 2011 on your page. I just checked the comments on my request for deletion: no comments whatsoever in 3 months. Furthermore I checked the page Mark Schneider (designer) and it was not only edited by one person, it was recently edited by a specific user named SchneiderDesign. So I think there can be little ambiguity the whole page has been set up from the start as a self promotional page. How to deal with this? I furthermore see that cathy waterman has ALSO recently been edited (more or less same dates) by an anonymous user who only edited this page and nothing else. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/74.109.30.77. So it seems to me there's sufficient ammo to argue that the three pages I mentioned a few months ago have in fact been self-promotional pages? Gem-fanat (talk) 00:08, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Chopped a bit from the Schneider page as promotional and either unsourced or poorly sourced. If user:SchneiderDesign returns it will be dealt with. Haven't looked at the other pages yet. Vsmith (talk) 00:39, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
