Talk:Double layer (interfacial)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Merging

I propose to merge this article with Electrical double layer under name Electrical double layer. There is a kind of discussion about it, but no clear consensus seen.

There is a very large bulk of scientific knowledge that is very poorly presented right now. It is called Colloid and Interface Science. There are many thousands of papers and books on this subject. It is linked to Electrochemistry, Biophysics, Nanothechnology etc... It is clear that nobody truly familiar with Colloid Science has contributed to WikipediA. For instance, article on Electrophoresis is written on the level of 100 year ago. Article on Double Layer is written by physicist, who have no idea about Double Layer in real world systems. What I am writing now has been written in dozens of books. It is not my opinion. It has very solid background, theoretical and experimental. This is only beginning. WikipediA requires dozens of more pages on various Electrokinetics effects, Adsorption, Aggregative Stability, ... I suggest that you look at 5 volumes of Lyklema "Fundamentals of Interface and Colloid Science". Page that I created Double Layer (interfacial) is the first one required for this notion. The second one will be Double Layer (electrochemistry). Another one Double Layer (biology). Another one Double Layer (polarized). There might be several more.

Before you create any more articles, i suggest you improve the ones you have already created, since, at the moment, they have very little context, by which i mean it is hard for the average person to understand what is being said, whic goes against wikipedia, as the very idea behind it is that anyone can read any article and understand it. Also, your articles are written very much like essays, which could be interpreted as original research unless you reference everything. As they are, your articles are liable to be deleted, please improve them before they are--Jac16888 16:17, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

OK. I agree. It is fair. I have changed one on Electroacoustic Phenomena. It does have references. Next is on Double Layer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AndreiDukhin (talk • contribs) 17:03, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Great. What you've done so far has been much better, however, i would suggest that you simplify the opening section even further, basically making it so that a child could understand the subject, and then use the rest of the article for the advanced stuff. Also, it would be a good idea to remove the wikilinks that don't have an article behind them, as they make the article look messy, and i would consider, if possible, breaking the article up into different sections using ==Insert Heading Here==, this system, with 3 = signs for a sub-section, then 4, etc. Finally, if you and when you create articles for the other double layer articles, you might want to consider making, or have someone else make, a navbox with a link to each, so readers can easy access them all. Thank you--Jac16888 18:31, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Jac, Thank you very much. I am just learning how to do this. Yes, I will folow you advices. I have created those un-used links for future. I hope to fill all of them within a month. Otherwise I would have to go back and edit every page that have them. Please, be a bit patient. For instance, today I have filled page "surface conductivity". —Preceding unsigned comment added by AndreiDukhin (talk • contribs) 15:44, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
