Moved this section

The first fire in the transformators of the nuclear power plant Krümmel in 2006 forced a closure of the power plant for over two years, while a second fire in June 2009 in the same transformator led to another closure. Due to this incidents the Prime Minister of Schleswig-Holstein, Peter Harry Carstensen anounced that this will be "letzter Versuch" (their last try) before complete closure of the facility.[1]

Hi Stone, I have moved this section under some critizism of vattenfall. Funny that you have put this on only Vattenfall when its also owned by German E.ON as well.

Talk:Rutherfordium/GA1

Hello, according to the history page of Rutherfordium, it appears that you were a major contributor to the article. The article is currently up for GAN review, so it would be helpful if you could pitch in and help address some of the concerns the reviewer listed. —Terrence and Phillip 22:35, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I managed to slide through the Group 4 element article's GA review. After we can get this article passed for its GA, nominating the entire set for good topic should be quite easy. —Terrence and Phillip 06:48, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Harald. It's fine to move the bulk of the info regarding nucleosynthetic reactions to another article in order to produce a more concise article for the general reader. If you need any specific help with tidying it up, let me know and I'll see what I can do.--Drjezza (talk) 20:17, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Could you look at two new articles?

Hi Stone, I wonder if I could ask you to look at two new articles on the subject of copper? They are from a brand new editor who will I think soon become an excellent contributor. He has many more articles to contribute and is very keen to write more. He is however still learning how to write for Wikipedia in terms of style and approach. One of the two articles already picked up two tags. I would be very grateful if you could cast your experienced eye over these two articles and let User:Enviromet know what you think of them.

Many thanks and all best wishes, Invertzoo (talk) 13:26, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2010 April newsletter

Round two is over, and we are down to our final 32. For anyone interested in the final standings (though not arranged by group) this page has been compiled. Congratulations to Pennsylvania Hunter Kahn (submissions), our clear overall round winner, and to Colombia ThinkBlue (submissions) and Norway Arsenikk (submissions), who were solidly second and third respectively. There were a good number of high scorers this round- competition was certainly tough! Round three begins tomorrow, but anything promoted after the end of round two is eligible for points. 16 contestants (eight pool leaders and eight wildcards) will progress to round four in two months- things are really starting to get competitive. Anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Judge iMatthew has retired from Wikipedia, and we wish him the best. The competition has been ticking over well with minimal need for judge intervention, so thank you to everyone making that possible. A special thank you goes to participants Bavaria Stone (submissions) and White Shadows (submissions) for their help in preparing for round three. Good luck everyone!

Wikicup Round 2

Hey, I think you accidentally marked yourself red instead of yellow on the Round 2 archive. -LtNOWIS (talk) 04:17, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are right, the overall list was the more important one. If you find some other mistakes please tell me.--Stone (talk) 15:53, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, we both got in the newsletter! Anyway, I wanted to thank you for helping me out with the list. I was about to go over there and finish it now when I noticed that you completed it! Thanks man and goo luck in the new "pool of death".--White Shadows you're breaking up 02:26, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
My real life will b a little busy with conferences, so I will hardly manage to get the points for the next round. ut I liked to help with the lists. Now they are in alphabetic order and searching is a little easier.--Stone (talk) 08:21, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Combined DYK hook proposal

... that an antipathy between Paul ten Bruggencate and Karl-Otto Kiepenheuer while they worked at Göttingen Observatory resulted in creation of Kiepenheuer Institute for Solar Physics? (adding the part on their collaboration after deaths of those scientists makes the hook too long) Materialscientist (talk) 11:56, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kiepenheuer is already in a quewe for May 3rd.--Stone (talk) 11:59, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Looks very good to me. Kiepenheuer tried to work with the Göttingen Observatory but found that a cooperation was impossible due to pollitical points of view was opposit to that of Bruggencate.--Stone (talk) 11:59, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Good. I'll put the triple hook to the queue 3 and can further tweak it if necessary. The rivalry hook will be more attractive. Materialscientist (talk) 12:04, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Walden was considered "Russian" and thus there were good sources on the Russian web. I can help with such biographies (Russia related). Materialscientist (talk) 12:15, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Youvan Deletion

Please see my talk page and recent edit on Youvan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bridgettttttte (talk • contribs) 16:28, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Stone, I made a post to Bridgettttttte's talk page. Thanks for giving me the heads-up. Regards, • CinchBug • 22:18, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Stone, I added references to Youvan. Now the numbering system on the references can't be edited. What do I do? Bridgettttttte (talk) 15:23, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Stone, sorry to bother you again. Now, some of the references are correct, and some have nothing at all to do with the article. Are we getting eaten by a bad bot? Bridgettttttte (talk) 21:24, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Douglas_Youvan#Reference_Reconstruction_from_history_of_article shows the 4 references in error and then makes the correct citations. But I don't know how to go further to fix the references in the article. 13:16, 13 May 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bridgettttttte (talk • contribs)
Thanks for the reference fix. I still can't figure out where {{ref}} is located. Is it semi-protected? Do the bots run over it, wherever it is? Bridgettttttte (talk) 19:57, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Struve

Atomic % are Ok in caesium alloy (you probably saw my edit there). Another matter: I am thinking to expand the scientists of the Struve family for DYK and started with Jacob Struve. Major source there (ref. 1) is in German, and my German is poor without a dictionary. It would be great if you could briefly check whether I missed something important in the source - there are not many on Jacob. Materialscientist (talk) 12:09, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Canthor (1893), "Jacob Struve", Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie (in German), vol. 36, Leipzig: Duncker & Humblot, pp. 687–688
I know this source in Google books, but it is too brief and the font is hard to read (for me). My ref. 1 is more detailed (in the meantime, I found a Russian source, that makes things easier for me :). Materialscientist (talk) 12:55, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
One thing which is different, is that the ref above states that he went to the University of Kiel. But the rest looks very good for me. Have a look here: [1] --Stone (talk) 14:35, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Russian source (quite detailed and differently written from ref. 1) says Kiel was closer to him geographically but he finally went to Göttingen and studied with Kästner there. Possibly, he tried Kiel first. Materialscientist (talk) 22:48, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think, no results are published yet and the researchers are still working we should change to being used.--Stone (talk) 05:20, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Allchar deposit & Lorandite at DYK

I've selected this hook, but it read oddly grammatically to me -- in particular I've pluralised neutrino -- it's not an area I know anything about, so I'd be grateful if you could check that I haven't made a mistake.

WikiCup 2010 May newsletter

We are half way through round 3, with a little under a month to go. The current overall leader is Hungary Sasata (submissions), who has 570 points. He leads pool C. Pools A, B and D are led by Pennsylvania Hunter Kahn (submissions), Colorado Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) and White Shadows (submissions) respectively. Anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Two of last year's final 8, Sweden Theleftorium (submissions) and Iceland Scorpion0422 (submissions), have dropped out of the competition, saying they would rather their place went to someone who will have more time on their hands than them next round. On a related note, a special thank you goes to White Shadows (submissions) for his help behind the scenes once again. There is currently a problem with the poster, perhaps caused by the new skin- take a look at this discussion and see if you can help. The competition has continued to tick over well with minimal need for judge intervention, so thank you to everyone making that possible. Good luck to all!

WikiCup 2010 June newsletter

We're half way through 2010, and the end of the WikiCup is in sight! Round 3 is over, and we're down to our final 16. Our pool winners were Ian Rose (submissions) (A), Colorado Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) (B, and the round's overall leader), Colombia ThinkBlue (submissions) (C) New South Wales Casliber (submissions) and New Orleans TonyTheTiger (submissions) (D, joint), but, with the scores reset, everything is to play for in our last pooled round. The pools will be up before midnight tonight, and have been selected randomly by J Milburn. This will be the toughest round yet, and so, as ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Though unaffiliated with the WikiCup, July sees the third Great Wikipedia Dramaout- a project with not dissimilar goals to the WikiCup. Everyone is welcome to take part and do their bit to contribute to the encyclopedia itself.

If you're interested in the scores for the last round of the Cup, please take a look at Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2010/Round 3 and Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2010/Full/Round 3. Our thanks go to Bavaria Stone (submissions) for compiling these. As was predicted, Group C ended up the "Group of Death", with 670 points required for second place, and, therefore, automatic promotion. This round will probably be even tougher- again, the top two from each of the two groups will make it through, while the twelve remaining participants will compete for four wildcard places- good luck everyone!

WikiCup 2010 July newsletter

We are half-way through our penultimate round, and nothing is yet certain. Pool A, currently led by Hungary Sasata (submissions) has ended up the more competitive, with three contestants (Hungary Sasata (submissions), Colorado Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) and New Orleans TonyTheTiger (submissions)) scoring over 500 points already. Pool B is led by New South Wales Casliber (submissions), who has also scored well over 500. The top two from each pool, as well as the next four highest scorers regardless of pool, will make it through to our final eight. As ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Planning has begun for the 2011 WikiCup, with open discussions concerning scoring and flags for next year's competition. Contributions to those discussions would be appreciated, especially concerning the flags, as next year's signups cannot begin until the flag issue has been resolved. Signups will hopefully open at some point in this round, with discussion about possible changing in the scoring/process opening some time afterwards.

Earlier this round, we said goodbye to Pennsylvania Hunter Kahn (submissions), who has bowed out to spend more time on the book he is authoring with his wife. We wish him all the best. In other news, the start of this round also saw some WikiCup awards sent out by Finland Suomi Finland 2009 (submissions). We appreciate his enthusiasm, and contestants are of course welcome to award each other prizes as they see fit, but rest assured that we will be sending out "official" awards at the end of the competition.

Solubility of Rhenium (VII) Oxide

Hi, i was wondering if there is any information about the solubility of rhenium (VII) oxide? I was looking and all i could find that it was soluble in alkali and acid solutions.
