Metallicity of Epsilon Eridani

edit

The article currently states, that "Despite this young age, however, it has relatively low metallicity, particularly in iron." Isn't it natural for a young star to have a low metallicity, which then increases as the star gets older? -- Oz1sej 08:31, 15 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Bulk metallicity yes, surface metallicity no - because there is a large radiatively-dominated zone inside a solar-mass star, there isn't much dredge-up of fusion products (the material in the fusion zone is isolated from the surface). Epsilon Eridani's low surface metallicity implies that the star formed out of gas that hadn't been contaminated by as many generations of past stars as would be expected on average.

Harlev Hospital

edit

Just curious--do you have any references to prove the fact that Harlev hospital is in fact the tallest building in Denmark? --Kannie | talk 20:09, 18 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

I think among Danes it's common knowledge ;-) It's also on their own homepage (can you read Danish?) But if Wikipedia can be referenced as a source, the page List of tallest structures in Denmark list it as the tallest building, if you don't count masts, towers, chimneys, wind turbines and electricity pylons. --Oz1sej (talk) 10:18, 19 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Vandenberg AFB Space Launch Complex 576

edit

Hi,

Re. Vandenberg AFB Space Launch Complex 576

I don't think that this needs a separate article - there is a comprehensive article on Vandenberg Air Force Base which includes all the information in the stub you've created.

If you think that it's worth keeping it as a separate article, with a view to expanding it, please let me know.

Cheers,

Salter Science

edit

Thanks for writing about this sort of topic! According to the chemistry set article, there were two different(?) companies with similar names ("Thomas Salter Science" and "Salters Science"). Do you know the relationship or timeline of them (was it one company that changed its name, or two chosen similar in order to compete, or...)? DMacks (talk) 07:22, 25 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Thank you! I had two chemistry sets from Salter Science, so I thought they deserved a page of their own on Wikipedia. Thousands of kids must have had these. I'm not sure if it's okay to link to external images on a talk page, but I'll take the chance; my first chemistry set looked like this: [1] on the outside, and like this: [2] on the inside; it was bought in Hamley's in London. Notice that the set is marked "Salter Science", but the chemicals are labeled "thomas salter science". I therefore assumed the company just changed their name. If you google, sets marked "thomas salter science" or "thomas salter toys" are generally electricity or magnetism kits. My second kit was much larger, called "Chemistry 4", bought in 1984, still marked "Salter Science" on the box and the manual, but the chemicals were still marked "thomas salter science".

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Salter Science, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Burner, Cork and Bottle brush. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
