I changed your proposed deletion of Magneto-calorific effect to a merge request. There's no reason to delete an article just because it should be covered under a different title.

Thanks for your inputs to Vapor-compression refrigeration[edit]

Grandonia: Thanks very much for the very useful sections you added to Vapor-compression refrigeration. I have changed your HTML table to a Wikitable and have also Wikified some of the text you added ... and I am confident that I did not change the substance or meaning of what you wrote.

I would like to point out that the "References" section of any Wikipedia article is meant for verifiable external source references (books, publications, or websites) for "backing up" specific text statements or data ... or for books that are especially pertinent to the entire report.

I would also like to point out that it is very helpful if you use the "Edit Summary" entry box at the bottom of each "Edit" page to provide a sentence or two explanation or reason for any editing changes or additions that you make. Not doing so is considered somewhat of a "no-no" on Wikipedia.

I am guessing that you are new to Wikipedia and I remember quite vividly how bewildered I was at all the style and policy guidelines regarding contributions to an article or creating a new article during my first few months. I am a retired chemical engineer and if you ever need help with some of your contributions, feel free to contact me at User talk: Mbeychok. - mbeychok 22:25, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your recent addition of a section about compressor types to the Vapor-compression refrigeration article. I would like to ask you to take a look at the Gas compressor article and see if you could improve it and if you have a better photograph than the one there now. - mbeychok 16:40, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
