==Milt==
Milt was a great contributor to our project who invested a lot of his own knowledge and time in it; Citizendium is much poorer without him. He was highly trusted and respected, previously serving as the project's Treasurer and on the elected Management and Editorial Councils. However, we were a small part of a long life: Milt completed his degree in 1944, but his graduation was delayed while he saw action in Europe during the Second World War. Decades of experience in both chemical and environmental engineering followed, and he would become a well-published authority on various aspects of these fields, as recognized by his Fellowship of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. His daughter also tells me he liked to apply his engineering approach to everyday life by collecting recipes and carefully replicating dishes he'd enjoyed. Milt stood firm against pseudoscience and other nonsense, as we at Citizendium can attest, and was a strong proponent of the science and the facts. I am sure I speak for those who knew him here when I say that we will miss him. [[User:John Stephenson|John Stephenson]] ([[User talk:John Stephenson|talk]]) 12:27, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Would [http://www.microbialcellfactories.com/content/4/1/24 this article] be useful to you for any of the subjects you've been working on around here? It is licensed under a Creative Commons attribution license, which means that its contents may be reused as long as credit is given.  I assume that goes for the photos and diagrams too, which might be of some use. --[[User:Joe Quick|Joe Quick]] 14:18, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

:Joe, that article would indeed be a good one for CZ and would work for inclusion in the Engineering and/or  the Biology Workroups as well as the Chemical Engineering subgroup. However, it is a part of Chemical Engineering and/or Biochemical Engineering (see [[Chemical engineering]]) in which I have no no expertise or experience. I would be reluctant to just copy an article in a field I know practically nothing about.
[[User:Anthony.Sebastian|Anthony.Sebastian]] ([[User talk:Anthony.Sebastian|talk]]) 22:22, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
 
:Perhaps someone in the Biology Workgroup (like Chris Day, who is a Biology Editor) would be qualified to work on that article? [[User:Milton Beychok|Milton Beychok]] 15:29, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 
== Cryptography ==
Thank you for becoming an approving editor on [[brute force attack]]. There's been discussion and some change to the article since it was proposed. Please have a look, see if you can still support.
 
There's a [[User_talk:Howard_C._Berkowitz#Approvals.3F | long list]] of crypto articles that I think are near approval. One thing I'd really like is for someone who isn't in the field to look through [[Block_cipher#Principles_and_techniques]] and see if it makes sense. I think it should, but I don't really know. Would you have time for that? [[User:Sandy Harris|Sandy Harris]] 08:53, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 
:Yes, I stiil support the nomination. See my comment on the article's talk page. [[User:Milton Beychok|Milton Beychok]] 14:52, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 
==Thanks==
Hi Milt. Thanks for the response you posted on Larry's talk page. [[User:Hendra I. Nurdin|Hendra I. Nurdin]] 05:51, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 
==Chemical Corps==
Sure. I think I created it at a time when someone was on a lower case rampage and I was tired of the changing. As the Brits say, capital idea.
 
Interesting thought: is that, as well as the chemical weapon/warfare material, appropriate to come under chemical engineering? [[User:Howard C. Berkowitz|Howard C. Berkowitz]] 22:05, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 
:I have renamed it to Chemical Corps. As for it coming under the Chemical Engineering Subgroup, I think that is borderline okay for this one article. Maybe also borderline okay for the Chemistry Workgroup. In general, I  think it and all related articles should be kept under the Military Workgroup. [[User:Milton Beychok|Milton Beychok]] 01:56, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 
== Timing ==
 
Milton your clock is two hours behind. It seems that the CZ timing went completely crazy, I tried to edit the talk page of vapor pressure and it seems to have done somewhere in the past with the net effect that my edits are lost.--[[User:Paul Wormer|Paul Wormer]] 17:51, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 
== Approval ==
 
Hi Milton, I approved all three now. I considered the process smooth sailing, I hope you did too. --[[User:Paul Wormer|Paul Wormer]] 23:11, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 
:It was smooth sailing indeed! Thanks very much. [[User:Milton Beychok|Milton Beychok]] 23:35, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 
:Hi Milt, I made a few changes to [[Specific heat ratio]]. Please take a look. --[[User:Daniel Mietchen|Daniel Mietchen]] 10:24, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 
== Vapor pressure approved, April 14th -- Congratulations ==
 
Hi, Milton, the [[Vapor pressure]] article has been approved and protected! Congrats! [[User:Hayford Peirce|Hayford Peirce]] 04:34, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 
== Relative volatility approved, April 15th, Congratulations! ==
 
Hi, Milt, your article has been Approved -- you can see it at [[Relative volatility]]. [[User:Hayford Peirce|Hayford Peirce]] 16:29, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 
== adding a null space ==
 
Hmmm, I see that I guess I have to add the null space to the Draft version of the article in question rather than to the Waiting for Approvals page, which is where I tried doing it. [[User:Hayford Peirce|Hayford Peirce]] 16:45, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 
== Congratulations again! ==
 
I've just Approved the [[Specific heat ratio]] article. But this time I'm not gonna waste any of my time trying to "jog" the flippin' Metadata -- let someone else do it, hehe! [[User:Hayford Peirce|Hayford Peirce]] 18:26, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 
== Thank you for  unveiling the engineer's mind. ==
 
Smart nerds, those engineers, thank you for sharing this with me. --[[User:Paul Wormer|Paul Wormer]] 23:25, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Milt

Milt was a great contributor to our project who invested a lot of his own knowledge and time in it; Citizendium is much poorer without him. He was highly trusted and respected, previously serving as the project's Treasurer and on the elected Management and Editorial Councils. However, we were a small part of a long life: Milt completed his degree in 1944, but his graduation was delayed while he saw action in Europe during the Second World War. Decades of experience in both chemical and environmental engineering followed, and he would become a well-published authority on various aspects of these fields, as recognized by his Fellowship of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. His daughter also tells me he liked to apply his engineering approach to everyday life by collecting recipes and carefully replicating dishes he'd enjoyed.

Milt's productivity as chemical engineer

Let us temper our sadness in the passing of our esteemed colleague with a celebration of his achievements in his field of endeavor. Google Scholar has tabulated 111 articles he published between 1951 and 2005, with links to them and to all the articles that cited them.
