Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button   located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 15:42, 17 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Steady State (Thermodynamics)

edit

You're the second person this week to solicit my opinion on a question of thermodynamics.While I did go to engineering school, I'm an architect, and pretty much unqualified to render a technical opinion. However, on matters of composition:

This reads a lot like a direct quote, or a close paraphrase from a textbook - presumably the book listed as a reference. The reference to Figure 1 is what makes me wonder. If this is the case, it's a copyright violation, and must be substantially recomposed. Otherwise, I'd say it's a good basic discussion of the topic.

I see now; I reverted vandalism on the main Thermodynamics page; unfortunately, that doesn't mean I'm an authority on the subject. Acroterion (talk) 21:17, 17 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Sorry I have not replied earlier. I have been on a wikibreak and overseas. I agree with the comments of the above user. What do you mean by the reference to Fig. 1? There is no figure 1. I also wonder whether this needs an article on its own or whether details of the steady state in thermodynamics could be added to another article. --Bduke 02:31, 21 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

To whomever can help, I have another problem with my article. I realize that I made a reference to a figure 1 in my article but didn't have any image. I tried to upload an image that I created but I don't know how to put it in my actual article. If anybody can help that would be great, the name of the image I should have uploaded is Steady State.jpg. What I actually want is to have the image already on the page instead of a link. I would appreciate any feedback. Mistre85 19:18, 25 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
