Added some fundamentals to the chemistry pages as it was not clear that contrary to physics chemistry deals only with the interactions between electrons or physical forces with electron(s).

Chemistry page

I added a sentence on the problem you requested. I had removed it because I consider that a description of bonding was probably best left to the "Bonding" section. Do you like it now? Pedro Silva 09:09, 10 November 2006 (CST)

bio

I received a masters in physical chemistry and biochemistry in 1982 from the free university of amsterdam and was awarded a doctorate at the leiden university in physical chemistry on a study on the dynamic behavior of partially charged polyelectrolytes in a bad solvent in the very diluted regime.

After that I did quite some research for privately held companies that didn't allow publication of the researches executed. Slowly moving away from chemictry toward process automation and interactions with databases I became more and more interested with the concept of active databasemanagement in laborotory situations - extending towards office automation and distributed computer problems.

Nowadays I lecture at the holland highschool (college) as well at the the hague highschool. Other projects involve knowledge management problems and semantics within computer sciences as well as cryptography problems.

Database question

Hi Rob,

On the notice board, you asked

In the Computer Science part only Relational Databases are mentioned, not flat file databases, record structure databases or Hierarchical databases. Is this on purpose?

Thanks for any answers, If not on purpose I can add these pages.

regards

Rob

Please see my answer on Talk:Database. --Larry Sanger 15:30, 12 November 2006 (CST)

Chemistry workgroup

I set up a preliminary Chemistry Workgroup and listed you there as an editor. Fred Salsbury 07:58, 21 November 2006 (CST)

Computer

See my answer on Talk:Computer; also, when signing messages, it's best to use 4 tildes (like this -> ~~~~ ), as that will turn into a link to your user page, and the date, which is the conentional signing form on the wiki. Thanks! JesseWeinstein 16:09, 24 November 2006 (CST)

Cut this...

You recently left a message on a user's page. Another citizen alerted me that that this user had "vandalized the main page". In my role as constable, I have temporarily protected the main page and blocked the alleged vandal's account. Please elucidate the reason you placed the message, so that we can resolve the problem. What was the vandalism? Thank you. Nancy Sculerati MD 19:24, 22 January 2007 (CST)

Noticed you'd left a nice awelcome to a new user but in the wrong place. They should go on users talk pages not the main usaer page. I made this mistake myself a few times at first !! cheers David Tribe 21:27, 28 January 2007 (CST) Darn, missed again :) - thanks David. Robert Tito 21:30, 28 January 2007 (CST)

the Status and the nature of wiki's

I wonder what we want the nature and status of CZ to be: neutral in all its content or colored based upon culture, politics or personal opinions. So far the latter leads only to more biased reproductions of facts - nearly all mingled with personal opinions and trying to bring personal thoughts as being factual. As an example: whether or not anyone is for the death penalty. That is an opinion, not something accepted in many countries. In most if not all european countries talking about the capital punishment is allowed - sure why not, but impossible to implement due to constitutions. And rightfully so - any culture claiming to be of high moral value should ask that same question: does it show any high level of ethics to maintain the capital punishment or does it show the old rule of an eye for an eye. As Mahatma Ghandi said: an eye for an eye makes the world blind.
