Valentin Scheidel

Hi Bfiene,

I noticed you recently created the article about Valentin Scheidel. I just wanted to let you know that you can announce any new Germany-related articles at Portal:Germany/New article announcements and Portal:Germany/New articles. That way other users interested in the topic can see them and might improve them.

You may also be interested in the WikiProject Germany.

Thanks,

--Carabinieri

Good work. I've added an image. Possible DYK feature there. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 17:50, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Always try to add one image if you can - if the physicist is long deceased copywright is never an issue especially if you include the full rationale and sourcing Ernst Stavro Blofeld 17:51, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

But thing though was it 1959 or 1989 he died as the intro states 1959!! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 17:55, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Carl Ramsauer

A tag has been placed on Carl Ramsauer, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Patricknoddy^{TALK (reply here)}^|^HISTORY 23:21, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Arnold Sommerfeld

I am considering adding the following section to the article on Arnold Sommerfeld:

Anti-Semitism

Although Sommerfeld eventually became a friend and collaborator with Albert Einstein, he was also "among the first to suggest there was something Jewish about Einstein's theoretical approach, a theme later picked up by Anti-Semites. (He claimed that Einstein's approach) lacked due respect for the notion of order and absolutes, and it did not seem solidly grounded." (citation: Einstein by Walter Isaacson, pp.142).

I was wondering if you had any comments.--Markisgreen 19:44, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your engaging response. I'm going to leave this section out of the wikipedia article. I'm curious about Isaacson's inclusion of this issue in his new book on Einstein, but was not familiar with Sommerfeld - other than the excellent article on wikipedia - so I wasn't sure if this was a telling episode or an anachronistic one. It sounds like this is an out of character comment by Sommerfeld. Maybe I'll write a letter to Isaacson. :)

Happy editing.--Markisgreen 11:58, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kurt Urban

A "{{prod}}" template has been added to the article Kurt Urban, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Heisenberg revision

Excellent job on the Heisenberg article! I have placed a few more comments at Talk: Werner Heisenberg. Dirac66 (talk) 22:09, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your changes and comments on my talk page. You have answered all my questions now. Dirac66 (talk) 17:16, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Help needed on von Weizsäcker article.

Hi again. Since you have shown your expertise on the controversies concerning Heisenberg and his colleagues, I wonder if you could have a look at the latest discussion at Talk:Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker concerning a very POV quote by William Sweet from Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists which is now in the article. In order to decide whether this quote should be deleted or perhaps balanced by other opposing views, we need to know how representative it is of the historiography on the subject. This means we need an expert familiar with the literature, and after reading your work on the Heisenberg article I think you would be able to help. Dirac66 (talk) 00:56, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

FYI German nuclear energy project#Comparison of the Manhattan Project and the Uranverein (adding tag)

I see we've both reverted the deletion, so wanted to let you know I've added a tag to the section and added some notes on the talk page. The issue seems to be the last sentence about the quality of the scientists (issue 4) ... and the last sentence may well need to be rewritten. (I do not think it means the section should be deleted wholesale, but I'll look into the references). No need to reply, just wanted you to know what I'd done about it. Cheers! Proofreader77 (talk) 04:51, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

PS, Glancing up at the rest of your talk page, it seems you probably know a lot more than I do about the subject -- if so, please let me know what you think should be done (if anything) about that section. Thanks. Proofreader77 (talk) 05:03, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

FYI (Removed POV tag) See my comment on that talk page. Proofreader77 (talk) 20:11, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
