[edit] moving to Available energy (particle physics)
The move was done improperly. If someone gets the redirect deleted, and this page moved properly, I don't mind. I just want the history preserved. However, I'm unsure as to how the new name would be any better (or worse for that matter). Fresheneesz 08:19, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry about that. I don't move very often. I'll try to move it properly now. The term "Available energy" in physics has a definition by Gibbs in classical thermodynamics (that is also called exergy). To me, differentiating between the two articles by calling one "(physics)" implies that the other isn't physics. I don't think these two meanings are related because the second law in the exergy sense requires a macroscopic system that isn't needed for a two-particle system. "Available" is just an adjective, and it could be used in lots of different ways, I guess. There's also "available energy states" as described in the Fermi energy article, and that's physics too even though it refers to one particle with no collision, so calling this article "particle physics" doesn't seem right either. I'm going to try moving it to "Available energy (particle collision)." Flying Jazz 12:45, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

- Ah, ok, that makes sense. If you're trying to move it, you may not know that you can't move the page to where you wanted it now - because that page exists (as a redirect). You need to propose deletion, using the {{prod|your reason here}} template, and once the page is deleted, you can move this page to it. I suppose thats why this page is at (particle collision) instead of (particle physics). Fresheneesz 19:20, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
