[edit] Gibbs free energy

Dear Sadi, I hope that you look at my additions - somewhat tentative - at Gibbs Free Energy. Through the John Avery and Entropy and life pages, I have e-mailed to JohnAvery and would be happy to share that message with you - john at courtneidgeassociates.com. Best, john (courtneidge) - 19:36, 23 December 2006 User:John courtneidge

Yes, John I see, from you recent contributions, that you have interest in Gibbs free energy as it relates to wealth and would like to add material in this direction to the Gibbs free energy article. I would be glad to work on this with you however Wikipedia has many rules (not my own) that have to be followed to get material into articles in the correct manner. It takes at least a half a year to get used to how things work around here. First, I would strongly suggest that you get a free Wikipedia account. (Please use your user account to sign out on talk pages using four tildes). This way we can use a functional talk page to discuss your article proposals. Your recent contribution will no doubt get reverted by another user fairly soon for a number of reasons, namely we can’t use unsubstantiated theories (every sentence has to be established knowledge); so I will move it here; so we can discuss your contribution, references and ideas. I like this topic, and will be glad to work on it with you, we just can’t put in our own ideas and theories. --Sadi Carnot 20:09, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
Dear Sadi, I'm not quite sure what all this means - but at least it helps (I think) move this matter along - one that is dear to my heart, and one that has taken me a good deal of time (and courage) to get underway. Please tell me more specificly where and how we can continue this discussion - I see this matter as essential for the well-being of all.

John, first (because Wikipedia has space limitations), format your comments into paragraphs, like have re-done above. Second, when you are done commenting "click" the button that looks like a signature (in the row of 21 buttons that appears when you edit pages). Third let us move the conversation here, so we don't have to keep jumping around. I’ll probably only be able to work on this with you a little every week. I’ll comment more on that page. --Sadi Carnot 21:39, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
