Professor, I wonder if I can pick your brain around this article http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.addma.2022.103351 (figure 6). Does it relate to fiveling and the authors did not figure that out, or I am just confused? FuzzyMagma (talk) 22:33, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for visiting the article and your comments. I will try to dig out more infomation as you suggested.

I want to point out S.Y.H Su commenced his career in 1967 much before the age of internet. He retired quite a while ago. That is a signficant disadvantage in terms of the Google Scholar H index. Also, as you know, in some fields, the paper production and citation count can be significantly lower than in other fields. Incidentally he added Stephen to his name sometime after finishing his PhD. Thanks. Malaiya (talk) 23:03, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Vladimir Lumelsky here: In response to Ldm54 comments on my unfinished Wiki page: you said, you need proofs, say on my being the journal's founding editor-in-chief or my former Yale Univ. professorship - but how and where can I add this information? Say, regarding my journal editorship, the journal's cover's backpage says that very clearly - can I send you or put in a photo of it - if so, how, is it enough? For my Yale professorship, after your comment I've called Yale, they sent me an email confirming that fact, with the time range - how can I get to you this proof? I'd much appreciate your response. Thank you. Lumelsky (talk) 11:52, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You don't prove to me, you have to prove to readers.

• For the editorship you put in an appropriate journal cite.
• For Yale their email is no good as this is not verifiable by all readers. Maybe use wayback and find an old page they have that shows you, or some conference announcement.

I've had an interaction over Nonmetal already and I concluded the hatnote was correct but the article has the wrong name, see Talk:Nonmetal#Nonmetal_elements?. It's basically an article like say Group 3 element about some elements. The chemistry content is ok but the rest is just a pile of factoids about some elements. Since there are a couple of committed editors involved I decided to move on. Some day I will work on nonmetal (physics) and look at the issue again.

WP:BEBOLD. I just went through cutting out some clear errors and added some tags to Nonmetal. Removing a paragraph/sentence here are there does not need to be first raised in talk unless it is contraversial.

The Nonmetal (physics) page is awful. Maybe we should have "Nonmetallic phases" and just rewrite and rename. Ldm1954 (talk) 10:44, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The nonmetal (physics) stub was added last week, I believe in response to my complaint that the topic article nonmetal should either include physics or be renamed "nonmetal elements" with an additional "nonmetal (physics)". Johnjbarton (talk) 15:28, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The general topic of the article is fine and standard chemistry; I agree with you that they wander way off topic and have added a long list to the talk page. You will see that I included your term for it in the 1st sentence.

I rewrote the stub which is now Nonmetallic compounds and elements. Feel free to add to it or change it. Later some of the links to Nonmetal can be changed. Ldm1954 (talk) 18:25, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

N.B., you may want to comment on my RfD to move Nonmetal back to Nonmetal (chemistry), perhaps in an hour or so. Ldm1954 (talk) 19:41, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
