From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

PLEASE use the above "new section" tab to enter a new comment. That provides you a form in which to first enter a Subject and then enter the new comment. Please sign the comment with four tildes like this ~~~~. That automatically signs it with your user name, the date and the time. The form automatically provides subject headings like those below and enters them in the table of contents which will appear below after four comments are posted.

The first responder to someone's new comment should enter the response just beneath the new comment (instead of using the above + tab) and indent the response by starting with a colon like this :. Any second responder, indent further by starting with two colons like this :: and any third responder, start with three colons like this ::: and so forth. If we don't follow these practices, the result is jumbled mess.


[edit] Why I deleted the external links you added to 4 articles

Mr. Kolmetz, the major problem with the "External links" that you added to four Wikipedia articles is that you did not take the time to learn how to use Wikipedia and become familiar with the various Wikipedia policies regarding the editing of articles. I would like to point out that the History section of each of the following articles shows that all of the "External links" you added were links to your own website, namely www.kolmetz.com. The four articles were: "Cooling tower", "Distillation", "Industrial water treatment" and "Vacuum distillation".

Wikipedia has a policy against adding "External links" that point to one's own website. When an anonymous user like yourself, enters Wikipedia for a few hours and adds "External links" to four articles all pointing to his/her own website, and then leaves Wikipedia ... it is assumed that his/her only motivation was to advertise his/her website, and that is called "spam". I am sorry that seems to have offended you, as you made clear in your three phone calls and in our subsequent phone conversation, but that doesn't change the facts of what you did. In fact, you did it two days in a row.

If you will note, I did not delete the written text that you added to the "Vacuum distillation" article, because I thought it was quite useful and appropriate.

Most technical subject articles in Wikipedia have an "External links"section and a "References" section. And there is very specific way of creating a proper Reference, of which you seem to be aware. As I told you on the phone, if you will send me the following information about the published articles involved, I will make proper References about them for you and install them in the pertinent article:

  • Exact title of the published paper
  • First and last name of all authors
  • Name of the journal in which the article was published
  • Exact date the of the pertinent issue of the journal (day, month, year, volume number if applicable)
  • If the article was presented at a conference (rather than being published on a journal), then I need:
  • Exact title of the presented paper
  • First and last name of all authors
  • Name of the conference
  • What city , state/province) and country where the conference was held
  • Exact date of the conference (day, month, year)

I want to stress that I am willing to do this for you this one time. In the future, you should take the time to learn how to do it yourself. I would also urge you to create a Wikipedia User page and Discussion page so that other Wikipedians like myself can easily communicate with you. - mbeychok 20:59, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
