[edit] Gravitational potential and gravitational potential energy

Gravitational potential is NOT the same as gravitational potential energy. The writer has mixed these two things. Needs fixoring ASAP. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 130.234.6.46 (talk • contribs) on 06:59, 9 January 2006.

What, specifically, do you believe is incorrect about the article as it presently stands? --Christopher Thomas 07:46, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

The article is just fine, it's just named incorrectly. Gravitational potential energy (U) is equal to the mass of the body multiplied by the gravitational potential (Φ) => U = m * Φ -- the same —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.234.202.80 (talk • contribs) on 15:39, 31 January 2006

[edit] Merge with potential energy

Most of the material on this page is covered at potential energy in the "gravitational potential energy" subsection. I've added "merge" tags to get discussion on what, if any, advantage there is to keeping this material on its own page. --Christopher Thomas 07:59, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
