Welcome!
Hello, Pykrete, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits to the page Project Habakkuk did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Pykrete
A couple of notes: everything you write on Wikipedia must be reliably sourced to published academic research or journalism. Your edits to Pykrete related topics don't have sources noted.

Additionally: I'm not sure you understand materials properties fully. Reinforced concrete has the same compressive strength as regular concrete. Where it differs is in its tensile strength, which in reinforced concrete is supplied by steel, and in Pykrete was supposed to be helped along by wood fibers. In that sense, Pykrete has more in common with fiber-reinforced concrete than with reinforced concrete. It is not at all analogous to steel (compared to iron) or metal alloys, which act entirely differently, on a molecular level. Pykrete isn't an alloy by any definition.

Most concrete has a compressive strength of at least 3000 psi, and typically is 4000 psi and beyond. The tensile strength of steel is more like 36-50,000 psi, for comparison, and the compressive strength is higher, depending on geometry. Modern estimates of Pykrete strength are closer to 1100 psi, which is cited in our Pykrete article.  Acroterion   (talk)   02:42, 1 May 2019 (UTC)


 * That may all me true but Geoffery Pyke thought of pykrete in terms of alloys. Please see my website pykreteusa.com

as i have patent pending on pykrete and would be grateful for any input or better understanding of subject.Pykrete (talk) 21:29, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm ThePaSch. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Project Habakkuk have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. ThePaSch (talk) 22:44, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. CLCStudent (talk) 23:09, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Additionally, If you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.
