[edit] comments

Wouldn't the links around atmosphere and venus better point to a page on "the atmosphere of Venus" whcih itself might well point on to pages on "atmosphere" and the rest of th planet?

Unfortunately I know nothing about that atmosphere...

[edit] Removing Category:Russian Artists

i think because of his mosaics he should be an artist category. I do not like russian painters as he did not paint, should we reverse Category:Russian artists?

[edit] Lomonosov as a visual artist

Lomonosov was prod to be the first in Russia and one of the first in Europe to restore the ancient art of mosaics. He produced quite a few of them including the Poltava battle depicted on the article. It is in every bio book on Lomonosov abakharev 23:33, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Lomonosov as first to state conservation of matter law?

This is asserted in several places, but it's not well known. I think it needs to have some backup in this history of Lomonosov, including his exact statement of it, something about his experimental reasons for thinking it, and where he published (we have all that for Lavoisier). Instead, there's hardly anything about it in this history of Lomonosov. If this man really came up with the idea first, it's his most imporant lifetime achievement (since it is a basic conservation law which enabled the science of chemistry to develop from alchemy) so there had better be more about it in the Lomonosov history, if this is to be matter-of-factly asserted in discussions of the conservation laws.
