I just archived the last batch of postings

That is why this page looks rather empty at this moment. Milton Beychok Milton Beychok 18:35, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

an article of interest (maybe)

Would 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. --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.
Perhaps someone in the Biology Workgroup (like Chris Day, who is a Biology Editor) would be qualified to work on that article? 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 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? Sandy Harris 08:53, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I stiil support the nomination. See my comment on the article's talk page. Milton Beychok 14:52, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

Hi Milt. Thanks for the response you posted on Larry's talk page. 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? 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. 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.--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. --Paul Wormer 23:11, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

It was smooth sailing indeed! Thanks very much. Milton Beychok 23:35, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
