Fair use rationale for Image:Industrial_&_Engineering_Chemistry_Research_cover.jpg
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Industrial_&_Engineering_Chemistry_Research_cover.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia 03:57, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

List of chemical compounds with unusual names
I have removed the links to Fictional chemical substance, List of fictional toxins, List of fictional medicines and drugs and Inherently funny word as I'm not sure they add anything to the article, let alone the AfD debate. :) The strength of the article is that all the chemical compounds listed are real and the names are unusual rather than inherently funny (or rude). The pictures certainly help. Dbromage [Talk] 05:41, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
- You are probably right. It doesn't have associated context in the article, but I think that it could and should be developed that way. Maybe after the AfD dust settles. --Kkmurray 14:11, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Policing External Links
When enforcing Wikipedia's external link policies, I recommend that you look at the links before you remove them. Particularly, in the Laser Doppler Velocimetry article you removed a link to efunda, which shows a diagram of an interferometric LDV. I have expanded the article since it's become clear there are two different sensors with the same name. In the water tunnel (hydrodynamic) article you removed the link to ELD, Inc. which has nice pictures of what tunnels actually look like, as opposed to a picture of a giant building with a pipe sticking out of it. Moreover, they also sell wind tunnels, and the the difference between the two is important.
Just because the link is commercial does not mean it is not informative. I simply ask that you enforce the policy with the right spirit. I have made the links more specific in light of your protest.
Pelesl 16:41, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. I should have spent more time on that. And thanks for making the external links and expanding the article. --Kkmurray 12:18, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
- I'm new at contributing, but I definitely want to ramp up it since articles I look for end up being snippets or non-existent. However I'm having a hard time learning the basic syntax; I end up having to go to an article that has something I want to do, look at the source, and copy it. Specifically I could not find concise information on how to properly cite papers in a Wikipedia article. Is there a compact starter's guide to syntax somewhere that I couldn't find? Wikipedia:Cheatsheet seems to have only the bare essentials. Perhaps we should add on to it? Pelesl 15:26, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
- There is WP:CITE of course. I found two template filling pages that are very useful: Wikipedia template filling and Reference generator. Use those for in-text cites with {{Reflist}} in the references section. The first tool generates a full reference from a Pubmed ID, the second uses BibTex or manual entry. --Kkmurray 15:59, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
USS Iosco
Hello. The page you created here appears to be a direct copy of this article. This constitutes plagiarism, whether the information is public domain or not. Sources provide our information, not our sentences. Please do not create articles that are direct copies of a source. If you have sources for an article, but not the time to create it yourself, it's better to go to the relevant Wikiproject and request someone there create the article from your sources. Regards, Parsecboy 17:32, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
- The text is from the public domain Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships. Note the {{DANFS}} template under external links and the two links to the DANFS site. Were these links missing, that might be considered plagiarism, but using the DANFS entry on the USS Iosco as the starting point for an article is no more plagiarism than this. Feel free to pitch in and help improve the page and thanks for voicing your concern. --Kkmurray 20:42, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
- Right, I am well aware where the text came from. There is no problem with using public domain sources for an article. However, like I said above, we don't just copy-paste blocks of text from a source into articles, public domain or not. Articles should always be in our own words, unless we're providing a direct quote. Regards, Parsecboy 21:10, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
- I couldn't find the policy to which you refer. The page WP:PD says "For all practical purposes on Wikipedia, the public domain comprises copyright-free works: anyone can use them in any way and for whatever purpose" which presumably includes verbatim cut and paste (with proper attribution of course). The Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships page states "Wikipedia often use the DANFS entry as a starting point for ship articles" which presumably means starting with the verbatim text and improving from there (Wikify, expand, add photos, etc.). This seems to be the path of many fine DANFS-based ship articles such as this one. I agree that a verbatim copy will be no better than a stub, but I would rather see that (properly attributed) stub there ready to be improved than nothing at all. Anyway, thanks for all the great edits on the USS Iosco article. --Kkmurray 22:58, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
- I don't know if there is a specific policy that explicitly prohibits copying text from a public domain source. The closest I've been able to find is Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Plagiarism_that_does_not_infringe_copyright, but it doesn't say one way or the other whether direct copying of PD text is suitable or not; just that it must be cited. I've always been of the mind to avoid copy-pasting with anything unless it was a direct quote. Anyways, the article in question has been substantially enlarged and reworked, so I guess it really isn't an issue anymore. Regards, Parsecboy 00:09, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

- That's great, but if you are going to do a global revert, you should note that in the edit summary and the talk page for the article. If you do that, it looks a lot less like POV pushing and helps to avoid edit warring. --Kkmurray 17:03, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

An Introduction to Chemometrics
On August 18, you removed the link to Introduction to Chemometrics from the Chemometrics article as linkspam. While it might technically be linkspam, since it was posted by the author, me, it is also a widely-cited tutorial link, including some literature citations. I adapted it from a presentation that was created for and delivered at an American Chemical Society meeting in 1985. Could I get you to reconsider the delisting? The Wikipedia:Spam content guideline specifically allows exceptions. If your objection is that I posted it, someone else could restore it - you, for instance? :-)
The link you added is useful for someone with some chemometrics background, but I don't think it's useful to a true novice. I really think that adding the link back in adds value to someone looking for chemometrics info.
Thanks for your consideration! Catbar (talk) 01:22, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your clean up actions. I have been working hard on that page because I think it is quite unique in science. I do not know of any place you can go as a physical scientist and get an overview of all the techniques we have developed over the years. I think it could become a very useful resource for us science-folk. I would value your input on how to structure it best. The problem is that some techniques have one clear acronym to go by but many do not. They may have more than one, none at all or they have developed offshoots like IR -> FTIR -> ATR-FTIR or so. It would be useful if the family relationship could somehow be indicated or so. Any ideas? Jcwf (talk) 18:44, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- How about another section with the methods ordered by category? Alternately, the list could be made into a big table with a column for technique "family". Tables are harder to edit, but the columns could be useful for cross referencing (e.g. List of Futurama episodes, etc.). --Kkmurray (talk) 19:34, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Thomson (the unit)
I noticed some potential problems with the article on the thomson (Th). Rather than edit this item directly I thought I would put it up for discussion first. The article refers to Sparkman's book and refers to confusion of terminology that might result from the use of Th as a unit. Specifically, Sparkman cites "the Thomson number in fluid dynamics, Thomson scattering, and the Thomson coefficient (the latter named after Lord Kelvin)."
I have consulted with two professors of mechanical engineering who specialize in fluid dynamics, and neither of them had heard of a "Thomson number" in fluid dynamics. In addition in searches on the internet I have not been able to find discussions of a Thomson number being used in fluid dynamics. Therefore, I think that Sparkman has probably made an error on this particular point and I therefore suggest deleting the following from the article: "the Thomson number in fluid dynamics, ".
Concerning possible confusion with other terminology mentioned, "Thomson scattering" and "Thomson coefficient", I note that it is not unusual in scientific nomenclature to use similar or related nomenclature to refer variously to effects, units, conversion factors, etc. which are not necessarily all related to each other. For example, we have the Farraday effect, which relates to a magneto-optical effect, the Faraday law, which can refer either of two unrelated effects (magnetic induction or to a law of electrochemistry,) the Faraday paradox, which relates to electricity and magnetism, a Faraday cage, which is a device, the Faraday constant, which is a conversion factor relating moles to charge, the Faraday unit, which is a unit of charge (related to Faraday's constant, but not dimensionally the same as Faraday's constant), and perhaps a few other items.
Taking the specific example of terminology containing "Thomson", we have the Thomson effect, which appears in thermoelectricity and non-equilibrium thermodynamics, the Thomson coefficient, which is closely related to the Thomson effect, the Joule-Thomson effect, which is a thermal effect arising in the expansion of gases, Thomson scattering, and so forth.
One of the scientists named Thomson was also known as Kelvin, and here we have the Kelvin relations (from the theory of thermoelectricity), Kelvin (unit of temperature), Kelvin equation (relating to the vapor pressure of a liquid with a curved surface), Kelvin functions (related to Bessel functions), Kelvin wave, and several other items.
The term "Curie" also appears in several contexts, e.g. Curie's law, Curie point, Curie (the unit), Curie constant, and Curie (crater).
There are also multiple uses related to the term "Einstein", though surprisingly few as it turns out.
Considering the fact that scientists are already used to dealing with similar-sounding nomenclature used to identify different things I suggest that Sparkman's argument related to nomenclature confusion is not definitive, and probably should not be given much weight.
The inclusion of Sparkman's agument on nomenclature confusion, though presented in the Wikipedia as a simple factual statement (i.e. a statement of what is in a book), is actually a defacto statement of advocacy, and as such it might be outside the scope of Wikipedia's mission. This would ague in favor of removal of the reference to the opinions expressed in Sparkman's book.
On the other hand, there is no denying that there is controversy over the use of the thomson unit, and it would therefore be hard to include a discussion in Wikipedia of the unit without at least some discussion of the disagreements. In light of this it might be OK to leave Sparkman's opinion in the article. However, if Sparkman's opinion is to be included in the article I think his comments should be balanced by some kind of statement that the scientific community is already used to dealing with similar-sounding nomenclature that deal with different concepts. In the case of the thomson, none of the items to which Sparkman refer are normally considered part of mass spectrometry or related fields. In addition, none of the items identify a unit of measurement. Consequently, using the thomson unit in the field of mass spectrometry should cause no confusion. -Mass-man (talk) 22:53, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
- My goal when I made my edits to Thomson (unit) was to get as much of both sides of the argument out there as possible and keep a neutral point of view. I would rather see more discussion of the pro and con arguments as opposed to cutting them. As you note, there is a controversy regarding the proposed unit that is notable. I suggest expanding the article to include a more explicit and balanced pro and con discussion along the lines you outline above. --Kkmurray (talk) 05:05, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- Sounds reasonable to me. -Mass-man (talk) 00:11, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Just wondering why you don't try and help users with the content they have uploaded instead of doing a speedy delete... I've checked you profile and see that's all you do. Where as other users actual help users who are trying to contribute to wiki.
Yes, we may not be doing it the correct way at least we are trying... your actions are a great way to get people to stop contributing.
May be a little more haste on "Speedy Delete", will stop all the waste of users just uploading the same content over and over... if they can see what they have done wrong then this will correct it.

- I've been doing some new page patrolling lately; if you find any instances where I have failed to follow the guidelines, let me know. I try to assume good faith (as should all of us) and help out where I can. I think that an inspection of my contributions shows this. Again, good luck on your project. Don't panic at notices and warnings, just work to make the suggested improvements (and don't forget to sign your comments). --Kkmurray (talk) 14:32, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Sock case
See Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Kehrli. Read and heed the closing statement suggestions. — Rlevse • Talk • 11:33, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. WIth the sock issue sorted out, I think that we can work this out with the help of WikiProject Physics. --Kkmurray (talk) 13:59, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
