Talk:Metal-organic compound

message: I have tagged the article for checking as advertisement and expert earlier today.  Now I have removed the advertisement parts, cleaned the article, trying to keep the references that were in the article.  I think the article still needs an expert, though, since this is not exactly my field of expertise.  --Dirk Beetstra T C 22:53, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: advertisement and expert

message: I made substantial changes today, with no disrespect to the previous contributions.  Much of the content was specifically oriented toward MOCVD, and I moved material to that article.  The definition of "metalorganics" is complicated mainly because of the overlap with organometallics.  The greatest area currently missing is in the lack of discussion of alkoxides, which are key to sol-gel processing, it seems. Possibly metal acetylacetonates is another area meriting developing.  Most coordination chemistry, when applied to materials science could be included also, which makes this article awkward since expanding the article would entail duplication. Some general references are needed, obviously.  My suggestion would be to keep this article short and general with lots of "see also's" or "see main article" xyz.--Smokefoot (talk) 03:40, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Changes made October, 2008

message: I don't want to start a fight, but this article says "metalorganic" excludes M-C bonded molecules, and then spends a paragraph on use of M-C bonded molecules (compound semiconductor growth, etc.). For those of us who are not organic chemists, please provide references showing that MO != OM. The terms seem to be used interchangeably more often than not, even by organic chemists (Rohm & Haas, etc.). I would vote to merge this back with organometallics, possibly with a clarifying sentence explaining the distinction. Mwistey (talk) 04:32, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I need to find a good ref that supports the description.  We need to remove the M-C bonded compounds.  My understanding is that the term describes metal-containing compounds that lack M-C bonds but that are otherwise lipophilic, alkoxides, acetylacetonates, some carboxylates are members, I think. 
The article's was created by someone trying to publicize their publications, which is the basis of the current issue.  Self-citation is a pathetic but common motive for editing on Wikipedia, see [].--Smokefoot (talk) 14:03, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

I agree, Lisa is a very good vocalist. Sadly, it seems her chance has passed and she won't get  a second. Similar situation as Cathy Dennis, another fine vocalist who has been relegated to writing songs for other (less talented) singers.

thread_title:  Regarding the Persian poem formerly in the article ... 

message: I came to this article looking for who it was who had derided this perfectly clear and meaningful expression, expecting to find a list of organs that had done so. 
I was surprised to find just a single mention of the Foot in Mouth award (and I have added a citation from that article). 
I've been looking, and I can't find any other examples. 
What I have found is articles like this one, which states that he was "universally derided", but not (so far) an example of such derision.
 
I realise that much of the derision is unreliable gunk on social media, but I would have thought that at least some of the tabloids would have jumped on the bandwagon. (If the Daily Mail did so, for example, even though that is not normally a reliable source, it would surely be a reliable source about itself.) 
Can anybody find any other examples, or (even better) a reliable secondary source discussing such derision? ColinFine (talk) 16:29, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Cluster (physics)

message: I'm writing an article on Gas Cluster Ion Beams, an industrial application of cluster physics.  I think it would be helpful to add some discussion of Van der Waal's clusters as compared to metalic clusters.  Drswenson 23:07, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I believe that the word "cluster" applies to a much more general concept in stat mech. Although, for physical systems, the objects of study are almost always collections of atoms, this need not be so.  Thus, for example, in critical phenomena, e.g. critical opalescence, or e.g. near the Curie temperature, the clusters are atoms. However, insofar as various theoretical systems, such as the Ising model also show similar behaviour; the clustering is more abstract; its not just atoms. So, for the genetic algorithm, the equivalent concept is "building blocks" of Holland's schema theorem, which are not atoms at all, but groupings of genetic material. I think the proper definition is something like "clusters commonly occur wherever the renormalization group can be applied to a problem; clusters are a feature of systems near critical points."  Or something like that. linas (talk) 17:09, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: It is very strange that somebody wants to make Slovak even Stephen Bocskay as neither in Transylvania (where he was born and his family comes from) there live Slovaks ,nor
have there been lived there at any time in the history. The source saying Stephen Bocskay was Slovak also says about a lot of other bilge as well:
:For instance:(at strana 568) "Svatopluk died shortly before the Magyar Invasion of 896, an event that heralded the end of the Great Moravian Empire, and a significant break in Czech and Slovak history.........The Slavs to the west of the River Morava (i.e. the Czech) swore allegiance to the Frankish Emperor, Arnulf; while  those to the east (i.e. the Slovaks) found themselves under the yoke of the Magyars."
So that the sentence saying Stephen Bocskay was Slovak needs to be deleted together with the tampered refernce, by which it is backed up unless we want to bamboozle our readers... 
Also, given that Wladthemlat had not interested in editing the article even before I started to edit it that suggets me that I am still followed around by him, despite the fact that I have asked him several times to avoid my environment. Not to mention that I strongly doubt that Wladthemlat would be unaware of the ethnic composition of Transylvania regarding how many Slovaks live and/or lived there. However, he accepted what the source says  without any maintenance Hardly surprising, he has no interest in improving Wikipedia, and notwithstanding the fact that he adjusted the notch about his command of English at a near native level on his user page, there is no only one article on Wikipedia that would have either been created ,or significantly improved by him. And his entire edit history does not contain anything else than edit warring over Hungarian related contents with Hungarian users.--Nmate (talk) 08:26, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Talk:New Hurley Reformed Church

message: The lead says "After several years, they were granted permission to establish a new church on the condition it was located away from the river."  This is not supported by a citation nor the article body where it appears the requirement that the new church be located some distance away from the Bruynswick church.
I had to read the article a couple of times to figure out the name of the original church which as that information is buried in the article body. I was still confused on if it's more commonly known as the "Reformed Church of Shawangunk" or "Bruynswick church".  The article uses both names. The Reformed Church of Shawangunk article never has the phrase "Bruynswick church" and barely mentions the name "Bruynswick". Maybe it's called the Shawangunk church by people in the area?  This needs to be sorted out and then the name made more prominent in the article as people had been meeting at the Bruynswick church, the bridge was washed out, and the New Hurley church was constructed.
I'm also left wondering if the bridge was ever replaced. I doubt its sole function was to allow people in the New Hurley area to attend the Bruynswick church.
It would help if a map was added showing the two churches and the river. The Bruynswick church is roughly 1.5 miles east of the Wallkill River and the New Hurley church is roughly 2.5 miles west of the river. --Marc Kupper|talk 05:48, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
