Capture-bonding

Hey Sadi, I read your RfC and would like to help out in any way possible. If you could outline your problem with Keith with a little more depth I would be really appreciative. Hopefully your dispute can be worked out quickly. Thanks so much--Cronholm144 23:25, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Cronholm, in short, an editor named User:Hkhenson, i.e. Keith Henson, wrote a 2002 article on the topic of capture; in addition, on various web pages he claims that he is the first to propose the theory, such as this webpage, where Henson claims “Until I proposed capture-bonding it had been a completely unexplained slice of weirdness.” Myself, before I stumbled upon this article, I had read about capture bonding in psychologist John Money’s 1980 book Love & Love Sickness – the Science of Pair-Bonding, where he applies the concept of capture bonding to abnormal psychology situations, such as in a bad marriage that a spouse seems to be trapped in or kidnapping cases where given chances to escape the captive paradoxically remains bound to the captor, etc. I found the term and concept used in other published sources as well. Hence, over the last year, I have been attempting to edit and add to this article with these various sources, but Henson continuously reverts, because it is not according to his point of view. Your comments would be appreciated here, at the Mediation Cabal in progress. Thanks: --Sadi Carnot 13:44, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

I left a comment on Keith's page, but it looks like we will have to wait--Cronholm144 02:39, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank's for the look. --Sadi Carnot 04:03, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Zero-point field

Perhaps I've been short-tempered. I've enjoyed some of your other edits; I think you mean well. I've re-worked the zero-point field article to focus on perhaps the desired topic. linas 01:12, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, thank-you. My desired goal is simply to see a basic science article on the term “zero-point field”. It doesn’t really matter to me what references are used or whatever. The quick article I started was simply based on whatever I could dig up from books I own, Google book search, and the internet; which basically amounts to a mis-mash, being that the topic seems to attract mostly non-scientists who seem to confound what is a simple topic. Short on time presently, but I plan to dig in a little more to the article down the road. Thanks for whatever help you can give. --Sadi Carnot 03:31, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Chemical principles

Hi, I was thinking that some discussion of the alchemical principles (salt, sulphur, mercury) would be useful to add to the history section of chemical element, or perhaps to history of the molecule. However, I'm not that familiar with this topic, and since the ancient history of chemistry seems to be one of your favorite topics I thought you might know more about it. Cheers, Itub 08:01, 24 May 2007 (UTC).

Yes, I already have most of this typed up in a sub-section called "Heat and affinity" of a chapter called "Affinity and Free Energy" (chapter 11, pgs. 329-368) of a new 2007 textbook on Human Chemistry publishing soon. I'll just give you the 7-page subsection here: Heat and affinity with the 25-references included and I'll leave it to you to format. Later: --Sadi Carnot 11:02, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I have started doing some formatting. --Itub 13:06, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

DYK nomination

Hi, I've nominated an article you worked on, Claus Wedekind, for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Misplaced Pages:Did you know. You can see the hook for the article at Template talk:Did you know#Articles created on May 22 where you can improve it if you see fit. MeegsC | Talk 23:36, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Meegs, thanks for the nod, Wedekind's MHC-study is legendary in the mate-selection books and circles. I bogged down on time presently, the article was meant to be just a good start article. Later. --Sadi Carnot 11:04, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
