Hey there, Silverchemist. Welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you enjoy being a Wikipedian and decide to stay! Here are a few good links for newcomers (or "oldcomers" for reference):
By the way, you should sign and date your comments on talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~. Three tildes (~~~) produces just your name. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!
Great, just what we need around this place... more chemistry geeks. :) Cheers. --Lord Voldemort (Dark Mark) 19:12, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for your contributions! They are much appreciated! However, if possible can you please reference work that you add to the article? It's just that if we encourage new additions or clean-ups to use references, then when it comes to expansion it is a lot easier to add information without having to do lots of work. If you require help with the reference system that's used on the article, please consult this page and this one too!. Thanks very much! ♥♥ ΜÏΠЄSΓRΘΠ€ ♥♥ slurp me! 22:58, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your adds to the Polyurethane article. It needs a ton (tonne) of work. Best Regards. P Cottontail 03:57, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Molded polyurethane foam.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 17:11, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Apart from a mention that engineers from the base used a beach for equipment storage and that one of the people mentioned in this section was stationed on the base, there is no connection of this section to the main article. This is about a private land dispute that occurred over 50 years ago. Even though storage space may be virtually unlimited, this is not a justifictation for the length and level of detail in this section. For example: What value is there in knowing the size of the camping lots, or where the flower shop and tailor shop were located? This section should be removed.

Silverchemist --
No problem; I was happy to give you that little bit of support on the Castor oil page. It strikes me as a bit underhanded to materially change a comment to remove a point that's been responded to. It puts the responder in a false light. I should have asked him to do it, though; it was bad form for me to edit his comment myself. Terry Carroll 21:07, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Could you please take a look at the section Medicinal use of castor oil and edit as appropriate? See my comments on the talk page. -- Terry Carroll 16:07, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Quite frankly, 'dominion' does not need to be capitalised in every instance. All nouns were formally capitalized in British legislative style: e.g., "One Dominion under the Name of Canada." However, you fail to understand that capitalisation should shift with context (so, of course it has a specific meaning in the article): e.g., 'dominion' in usual contemporary parlance, yet 'Dominion of Newfoundland', 'Dominion forces'. As has been demonstrated, numerous dictionaries do not indicate capitalisation in some instances; this has also been discussed at the 'dominion' article before with no clear consensus, and I see no consensus regarding this. Anyhow, there are far more things wrong with that article than not and I have better things to do than to quibble over minutiae. All the power to you. Quizimodo 14:40, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi; I wasn't sure at first to which area your coordinates were pointing out and I wanted to ensure the location is the exact site of the fort. All of the information I could gain on the subject noted the extremity of the point of land as the location of Fort Amherst see NL Heritage website. Then I remembered that there is a plaque in the cove which made a reference to what was established there, for the life of me I can't remember what it said.
I know what you mean by the title coordinates apply extra search criteria and causes an error. I find that when selecting the coordinate and it takes you to the Map Sources/GeoHack page I either select the Satellite hot-link or the Hybrid hot-link and zoom in appropriately. I also find the Google Earth "kml" file very convenient to take you directly to the location using Google Earth. --HJKeats 11:33, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
Well, it's crude but a new page has been established. Take a look. I welcome changes and additions. FWIW Bzuk 02:18, 4 September 2007 (UTC).
Hi, I've seen your name popping up in various places in my watchlist recently. I just wanted to thank you for your contributions. A steady stream of referenced content to expand our chemistry articles is very helpful, and we at WP:CHEM and WP:CHEMISTRY certainly appreciate it. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for uploading Image:Polyester1.PNG. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Polyester.PNG. The copy called Image:Polyester.PNG has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

Silverchemist: How was the CPI conference? P Cottontail 13:20, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Is there something in particular that you want cleaned up in this article? I have just started writing it and I find the clean up tag a bit annoying. Additions yes, but clean up? Silverchemist 03:41, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

When you add a prod to an article, use the {{subst:prod}} template. That allows the dates to be filled in properly so it's easy to tell when the prods were added. Thanks! --UsaSatsui 14:40, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Greetings. Would you have time to check this? - Skysmith 07:43, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Silverchemist: I've added a bit on chain extenders/cross linkers to the Polyurethane article. I'd like to recommend to the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Chemicals list this be reviewed and bumped up to B-class. What do you think? Also, is the PU talk page on your watch list? If you prefer, I can post over there regarding the article. Best Regards, P Cottontail 23:20, 16 October 2007 (UTC) P.S. Love the article on the World's Fastest Prop Aircraft. I'd be driving P-38's in another cost-is-no-object life!

Hi,
I'm interested in the reference that you added to the Red Rain article, but can't immediately locate anything by DiGregorio on the Analytical Chemistry site, and Cornell's site comes up with 404s when I search for Brenna.
BTW, I'm firmly not in the 'extraterrestrials' camp; just rather surprised that anyone managed to get hold of a sample. Godfrey Louis and Martin Wainwright both seemed more than a little reluctant to share anything, including data.
I'd be interested if you have come across any trace of HPLC or GC-MS analyses of the raindust. It's surprising that no one seems to have done either of these.
Best Regards,Davy p 19:02, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
Can you point me to the place in the reference [3] for Fossil fuel where it supports the statement "It was estimated that in 2005 86% of human-produced energy came from burning fossil fuels"? I saw your change Diff but I am not finding what you are talking about. Jeepday (talk) 03:06, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

I appreciated your input. Could you please when time allows write a paragraph that summarizes the points Morris makes about Canada's military contributions and post confederation autonomy? It would be a great help. The article is somewhat silent on this issue. It would help move the article forward. --soulscanner (talk) 17:29, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Just a heads-up that I moved the discussion to Talk:Recycling#Merge of Recycling criticisms, where I ought to have started it originally. --jwandersTalk 08:43, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading Image:Osprey in flight.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Polly (Parrot) 21:57, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
I noted your correction and explanation re the [two different] Pere Marquette trails. My thanks for explaining that and clearing it up. Xenophon777 (talk) 16:08, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Great Stuff was not deleted by me, it was deleted by Andrew c (talk · contribs). And deletions don't show up in Special:Contributions, they show up in Special:Log/delete. Cheers. --MZMcBride (talk) 18:28, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
I assessed Western Brook Pond a stub because the main body of the text could have sections to make it more reader-friendly, not just the reference section. Seriously, I felt Western Brook Pond was a borderline high stub / weak start, but high stub isn't one of the assessment levels you can enter into the lakes template. I gave stub ratings to many articles because they lacked references (includes proper formatting, footnotes, citation templates), infoboxes, photos, sectioning (one big block of text is reader-unfriendly, very short sections that contain one or two sentences should be merged), needed copyediting / cleanup, comprised of a massive image gallery, and / or had a stub template on the bottom. Yes, I set a high bar for articles, but if you strongly disagree with the initial ratings, go ahead and reassess it yourself and / or improve the article. The ratings are not set in stone. If there are other particular assessments that you don't agree with, feel free to bring it up. Cheers. Trance addict - Tiesto - Above and Beyond 04:01, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
Sorry about the tag, we tried to eliminate as many false-positives as possible, but we are only human. If any thing like this occurs on any other article, please let us know ASAP.

Did you give up on this? I didn't specify a specific time limit but as its been over a week let's say that the changes need to be substantially complete by 23rd July. Ben MacDuiTalk/Walk 17:02, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
