Talk:Triplet state

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My request for reverting the move spin triplet to triplet state was posted at the desk of Wikipedia:Requested moves 5 days ago but now I understand to have a discussion on talk page first. See [1].

This is the original request: I am contesting the move of spin triplet to triplet state and related moves. User 87.194.39.42 has been harassing me about a triplet state redirect (when it was still a redirect) to diradical and was even blocked, see [2] and [3]. It seems not possible to have a decent discussion about this issue. (16:30, 25 April 2008) Thanks V8rik (talk) 09:55, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

• Oppose. I had the pages moved to have consistency between singlet state, doublet state, and triplet state. I think the issue of the IP user's vulgarity should be dropped now. The chemical meanings should be discussed at the new article I created, spin multiplicity, in which I mentioned radicals and diradicals.

Comments.

• But why did you not just put up a move proposal tag?. You could have known the move would be controversial
• I do not like the present arrangement since this is a moved redirect few people will have this page on their watch list. I expect hardly any participants in this discussion
• If the outcome of these proceedings is not to the liking of the IP user then this user will simply continue. The IP user cannot be ignored.
• In the meanwhile many chemistry pages now link to a triplet state page that is hardly of any value to them as all the useful chemical information can be found in diradical. In the original arrangement physics pages linked to spin triplet and chemistry pages to diradical through the triplet state redirect. A similar arrangement existed for singlets. I am trying to look out for the interests of both physicists and chemists and the present arrangement is not helpful. V8rik (talk) 17:27, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
