I have just reverted you there on Drude model, but gave wrong edit summary - your addition was correct, but off-topic, in my opinion (still mulling that ..) - throwing in a sentence on wave/particle duality of electrons in solids would only perplex unprepared reader. Momentum doesn't contradict particle-like nature. Materialscientist (talk) 05:29, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Hm .. Electrical_conduction, Electrical_conductivity, Electrical_resistivity, Classical_and_quantum_conductivity in principle all refer to slightly different topics, namely mechanism of conduction, its two measures, and theories behind. The articles have also somewhat different focus (perhaps because they were written by different people). Perhaps conductivity and resistivity should be merged, as their overlap is significant.
