Gibbs's thermodynamic surface

 * ... that ....the Maxwell's thermodynamic surface constructed by James Clerk Maxwell in 1874 is the three dimensional model of Gibbs's thermodynamic surface ?

 * Symbol question.svg Not sure about this one. Nealy all the information in the article prose can be found in Maxwell's thermodynamic surface or the entropy article.  It is not a word-for-word copy (with the exception of a few sentences) but I'm not sure that it is not against the spirit of rule 1.a).   what do you think?  If you believe that constructing an article in this way is ok, then I'll do a proper review. SpinningSpark 16:33, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

 * I have no idea of what you mean by "I'm not sure that it is not against the spirit of rule 1.a" but is Gibbs's thermodynamic surface the same as Maxwell's thermodynamic surface or entropy? Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 16:58, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not saying they are the same thing, I'm just saying that most of the information (except for the long quotation, which does not count for DYK purposes) was already found on Wikipedia before this article was created. If you can show that you have 1500 bytes of new information then I'll review it for DYK. SpinningSpark 17:41, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm glad that you admitted that the three topics are not the same. The topics may be interwoven but do not express the same view. I can't manufacture contents to buttress any point. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 17:51, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Spinningspark, I consulted with Chris Woodrich about this on his talk page, since I'd never run into this situation before, and they have been working at DYK longer than I have. He (and Nikkimaria, who he pinged there) doubt that the article qualifies for DYK in its current form, given the duplication of material. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:15, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank to Spinningspark, BlueMoonset, Nikkimaria, Crisco. I doubt this is suitable for DYK myself. Can anyone close this as "rejected"? Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 04:32, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
