Hilgenberg

Thanks for letting me know. Please go ahead. Great to see someone contributing to the topic. I read the article in german and the amusing auto-translation. I can't find my dictionary so I was not keen to put it out. I notice that google produces very different results with Ott or Otto, do you have a good citation for Ott? If it is spelt both ways commonly, I imagine a redirect is in order. Regards ☻ Fred|☝ discussion|✍ contributions 00:40, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Ott Christoph Hilgenberg in twentieth-century geophysics - Giancarlo Scalera, Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica [1] is your reference? 00:45, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Not only this reference. Here are many papers of Hilgenberg too. The name ist always "Ott Christoph". Of course, in German the name Otto is more common than "Ott", but the references say "Ott"... --D.H 07:51, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
A page of full of german citations is about as conclusive as one could hope for. I think a #REDIRECT [[pagename]] is in order for 'Otto'. On that subject, what is going on with this? Nice work getting the article out, I think a bit more about his life and work would be good. Thanks for the excellent resource links, nice to find some content on the web. We should be able to use some expand the topics on wikipedia with them. Regards, ☻ Fred|☝ discussion|✍ contributions 15:34, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

I created a redirect from Christopher Otto Hilgenberg. I'm also working on the German article (de:Ott Christoph Hilgenberg) and I agree that both articles could be expanded. Will see...BTW: I translated the article on Cary into German: de:Samuel Warren Carey. Also an English translation of the article de:László Egyed would be good. --D.H 18:07, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Fine work with the article. If you credit the de:László Egyed article, I see no harm in a quick translation. Perhaps it is my turn, we should have split them up.
  • Can you see the Subduction sections merged together?
  • I am tending to prefer less headings and bullet points in articles, do you think it is ready for me to attempt this?
  • If so, do you think Scalera provides the most objective survey of the theory's/models' history?
regards, ☻ Fred|☝ discussion|✍ contributions 14:03, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
  1. I'm working on the translation of the Egyed article. Also an aricle on Mantovani is in preparation.
  2. I have no problem with less headings and bullet points in the article. Please go on.
  3. And yes, I think Scalera is (at the time) the best information for such theories. Maybe more details about Carey's theory are necessary. See Carey's online book "Earth Universe Cosmos" (http://www.geocities.com/capecanaveral/launchpad/8098/2.htm). --D.H 14:56, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
  1. Good work, don't forget the tags on the talk page. Please translate the book title also.
  2. I will - another day.
  3. It seems pretty sound for the starting points and timeline. Online book! Thankyouthankyouthankyou. Regards, ☻ Fred|☝ discussion|✍ contributions 20:36, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Mechanical explanations of gravitation

Nice one mate. If only all new pages were as good as this one. A really great idea for an article, I have to try and remember to watchlist it when I'm home and logged in. Fred 203.161.118.53 15:34, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I've created the German article a few days ago an than translated it into English. Hope both articles are good enough. Dietmar. --D.H 19:07, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Abraham's Contribution to Mass Energy

Thank you for the nice discussion. It is good to have a German speaker working on this historical material, because I do not speak German and the literature is completely inaccessible. I was wondering if you are interested in history of quantum mechanics too. A lot of this literature is also inaccessible to me. Kind regards. Likebox 05:41, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately my historical knowledge on quantum physics is hardly sufficient to edit an article. Sorry, --D.H (talk) 07:50, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Le Sage at GAC

I was going to review Le Sage's theory of gravitation at GAC, but then I thought that perhaps you might want someone with a science background to do it. I can provide an educated, but lay perspective (Markus Poessel might be able to tell you how helpful I was or not on introduction to general relativity). Let me know if this is something you are interested in. I am interested in science and the history of science (I recently wrote the bulk of Joseph Priestley), but perhaps you would like a more knowledgeable reviewer?

Please continue with your review of the article. Thank you very much for your efforts. --D.H 09:15, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Kaufmann-Neumann Experiment

Hey! I am currently stalled on this article, due to a lack of secondary sources I am able to locate. I do not want to get into original research. If you, or anybody you know, has citations of such sources and can push this article forward, that would be great! Awolf002 (talk) 21:19, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
