==question==
Hi Robert! I have a question. At wikipedia, I have grown used to the popups script. (by User:Lupin). Is it ported to Citizendium?--[[User:Anupam Srivastava|Anupam Srivastava]] 17:18, 9 May 2007 (CDT)
:Anupam, actually no, but I am not certain about using them in the future. We are talking about them but no verdict yet. HTH, [[User:Robert Tito|Robert Tito]]&nbsp;|&nbsp;<span style="background:grey">&nbsp;<font color="yellow"><b>[[User talk:Robert Tito|Talk]]</b></font>&nbsp;</span>
::Ah... thanks for the information. For what its worth, popups is one of the best tools out there :D, especially for those who want to browse, not edit.
== carbon in life ==
Hi, during a cleanup operation I came upon your old draft [[Robert_Tito/carbon_in_life]]. You know better its purpose and the right title/place :) --[[User:Aleksander Stos|Aleksander Stos]] 06:48, 15 May 2007 (CDT)
== Decision Support==
As you may have some interest in it, please have a look at [[Clinical decision support system]] and, if possible, lend a helping hand in editing that. [[User:Supten Sarbadhikari|Supten]] 22:33, 17 May 2007 (CDT)
== Unprotecting Talk:Logical positivism ==
Would it be safe to unprotect [[Talk:Logical positivism]] yet? It's in a block of articles I signed up for for the Big Cleanup and it needs a checklist. [[User:Petréa Mitchell|Petréa Mitchell]] 13:00, 20 May 2007 (CDT)
Petréa, it is unprotected. [[User:Robert Tito|Robert Tito]]&nbsp;|&nbsp;<span style="background:grey">&nbsp;<font color="yellow"><b>[[User talk:Robert Tito|Talk]]</b></font>&nbsp;</span>
== Talk:Periodic Table ==
Mr Tito-
I created a template for a periodic table element on the talk page of [[Talk:Periodic_Table_of_the_Elements]].  Let me know what you think.--[[User:Robert W King|Robert W King]] 15:16, 23 May 2007 (CDT)
==ID==
I agree that ID means lotsa other things.  But so far as I can tell, there is a lot of energy being devoted here in CZ to Intelligent Design, and they are calling it ID throughout.  In Wikipedia they have something called disambiguity, if I recall, that lists various things such as "Big Three" or common names such as "Jack Crawford", in an article, with descriptions and links to the relevant one.  I'm sure that the same will happen here in CZ if it hangs around long enough.... Cheers! [[User:Hayford Peirce|Hayford Peirce]] 23:38, 24 May 2007 (CDT)
:I just made a [[ID (disambiguation)]] article before I saw that you had changed the [[ID]] article around.  I think that you ought to incorporate your edits into the disambiguaiton article as this wouldn't lead a search to a dead end, the way it does with your edit. If you aren't sure about how to do this, I will ask an editor or someone for help in straightening this out.[[User:Hayford Peirce|Hayford Peirce]] 11:10, 25 May 2007 (CDT)
==[[Haber process]]==
Hi Robert. Earlier today, I created the [[Haber process]] article. I've added a respectable amount of information, but I think that it could greatly be improved with the help of an expert such as yourself. I've added almost everything I can think of, but I'm only currently studying Chemistry for my [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GCSE GCSE], so my knowledge isn't close to what it could be. Thanks for any help you could offer, [[User:Oliver Smith|Oliver Smith]] 16:01, 25 May 2007 (CDT)
:Hi Oliver, I saw some of it this afternoon - and generally it is of a good quality. I have not looked into details - as some where not completely correct as it appeared but that was just a birds eye view. I will see what I can do to help you complete it to a full article [[User:Robert Tito|Robert Tito]]&nbsp;|&nbsp;<span style="background:grey">&nbsp;<font color="yellow"><b>[[User talk:Robert Tito|Talk]]</b></font>&nbsp;</span> 16:40, 25 May 2007 (CDT)
::Sorry - haven't been active at CZ for a while to add the changes. I wasn't confident enough about the science behind water ions, so thanks very much for clearing that up and adding it to the article. [[User:Oliver Smith|Oliver Smith]] 14:29, 10 June 2007 (CDT)
==Your galleries==
Rob, when you get a few minutes sometime, how about going through your picture gallery and adding licensing, a description, and the source to the images?  ---[[User:Stephen Ewen|Stephen Ewen]] 13:55, 28 May 2007 (CDT)
:these are all private pictures ©RP Tito
Cool. Do me a favor and just tag 'em all with the following when you get a few minutes.

Rob, do me a favor and place some licensing data there. Thanks, ---[[User:Stephen Ewen|Stephen Ewen]] 03:10, 30 May 2007 (CDT)
:Steve, that is not needed, is it PLoS and per definition PD, these two are synonyms. [[User:Robert Tito|Robert Tito]]&nbsp;|&nbsp;<span style="background:grey">&nbsp;<font color="yellow"><b>[[User talk:Robert Tito|Talk]]</b></font>&nbsp;</span>
::It still needs the source documented so someone can check it and others can ''re-use'' it; and PLoS is CC-by so it ''requires'' attribution: See http://www.plos.org/ and scroll down to the bottom. See [[:Image:Young_zebra_finch.jpg]] for a properly documented image upload page from PLoS. [[User:Stephen Ewen|Stephen Ewen]] 22:33, 30 May 2007 (CDT)
== Quantum property reference in article:Light ==
Mr Tito-
Can you provide a reference to those experiments which demonstrated the duality in the properties of light?  --[[User:Robert W King|Robert W King]] 10:36, 7 June 2007 (CDT)
:It's either Rob or Dr. Tito :) Yes, I do have to check my grey memory cells or my references. As far as I know it was published both in Phys. Rev. A and Nature - but I will let you know. I will have to check about your move - because that was not from WP but from MY knowledge - not cut&paste.

::I don't mean that it was _from_ WP, but in an effort to conform more to CZ style, articles need to be more or less a narrative than a collection of categorical segments about a subject (I've been told).--[[User:Robert W King|Robert W King]] 10:52, 7 June 2007 (CDT)
::that will be the next stage - you started with the very classical model whereas nowadays only the modern view remains - admittedly given examples from the classical billiard balls view.

Billiard balls? --[[User:Robert W King|Robert W King]] 10:57, 7 June 2007 (CDT)
:Billiard Balls?? :-) [[User:D. Matt Innis|Matt Innis]] [[User talk:D. Matt Innis|(Talk)]] 11:11, 7 June 2007 (CDT)
== billiard ==
A sport, where it is the purpose to use a queue and by hitting the white (own) ball hit the other players (white or yellow) ball and a red ball. Unlike pool it has many forms how to achieve a carambole, and none is achieved by removing one of the three balls from the playing table.

== Light article ==
I really don't know what to do with this article. Part of me wants to jump in and start changing things, but another part of me wants to step back and point out mistakes so the author can fix them. In this case, I'm not an editor (though, ironically, I'm fairly interested in the underlying physics of computer technology). That means I don't really have to worry about questions about the editors role. But darn it, I ''do'' know a something about quantum mechanics! [[User:Greg Woodhouse|Greg Woodhouse]] 14:19, 8 June 2007 (CDT)
:it should start with electricity and magnetism leading to electromagnetism. explaining it using for instance E=mc<sup>2</sup> and simple maths to lead to a wave equation. Then become descriptive. But then any approach can work if it is done properly.

== water and conformation ==
Oliver, glad to be able to assist. You should remember that water is rather special - the only substance known that has 0.75 cal/mole rest (vibrational) energy at 0K. Its structure also determines the shape (configuration and conformation) of macromoecules - the cage water can form around molecules do provide it with an additional stiffness and rigidity. many partially charged molecules share hydrogen bondas wiht water.

==DNA and gratitude==
Thanks, Rob, for helping to fix that mess. [[User:Nancy Sculerati|Nancy Sculerati]] 23:04, 10 June 2007 (CDT)
== stochastic convergence article ==
Don't you think a good starting point for explaining ideas in understandable language is having a clear understanding of them in the first place? I don't mean to sound arrogant or anything, but the initial definition didn't even make sense, and the one being presented in the article now doesn't look like it's the right one. I guess I have a bad habit of asking questions when I think something is wrong instead of jumping in and rewriting it myself. [[User:Greg Woodhouse|Greg Woodhouse]] 17:17, 28 June 2007 (CDT)
