[edit] Your removal of a valid reference from the Distillation article

BeastRHIT, you removed a reference concerning the McCabe-Thiele method from the Distillation article simply because you couldn't find it on the web? That is not a valid reason. The article can be found in any good university library. Adding another reference as you did is fine ... I have no problem with that. But I do have a problem with your removing one just because it isn't on the web. I am sure that there are a great many references in Wikipedia articles which can only be found in libraries. I am going to leave your reference in but I am going to revert your deletion of the reference about an algebraic solution of the McCabe-Thiele diagram. If you would like a copy of that reference, I will mail one you. Just visit my user page where my email is enabled and you can email me your mailing address. - mbeychok 19:18, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

I appologize for removing the reference without much consideration. Upon consideration of your comments, I will not do so in the future. I sent you an email with questions and comments. Please respond to it so I can work on distillation article again.
Thanks. - BeastRHIT 21:56, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Referencing

Good edit on mass transfer coefficient. :) I would like to encourage you to reference your edits differently (see WP:CLINMED and WP:REF) and hope that I can look forward to seeing more of your edits. Nephron  T|C 20:45, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

If you're using anything PubMed or anything with an ISBN there is a tool by User:Diberri. For the reference you used this link shows the result. If you combine that with the <ref> </ref> tags (known as the cite:ref system -- as described at WP:CLINMED) you're off to the races.
Any case, I wouldn't get hung-up on how to reference. There is a good deal of latitude on how it is done; if you read WP:FOOT the first thing it says is: This format is not mandatory; editors are free to use a different method.
As for what User:Mbeychok said above-- use references available online, if that is possible. If no good references are available online use a good/respected textbook. Nephron  T|C 00:07, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks again for the information. I'll definately use the tool you suggested. I think the reason I get so hung up on referencing is that I want the articles to look good and flow well. A credit to Mbeychok's comments is that chemical engineering information is few and far between online. We have discussed it and came to an agreement on that issue. - BeastRHIT 01:11, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
