I like your edits to aluminium; they read very nicely. LouScheffer 16:34, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

How is an alloy not a mixture of materials? That aspect of your most recent change on Aluminium alloys does not seem to make sense to me. Thanks. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 19:01, 10 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I was a bit hasty there. An alloy is defined as a "mixture of atomic species exhibiting metallic properties and usually prepared by adding other metals or non-metals to solvent metal in the liquid state, but may also be formed from sintered powders or by intimate mixing by mechanical means." I think the article should reflect correct terminology though, and I've never seen aluminium alloys being referred to as mixtures. It makes more sense to call them alloys with a link to the alloy article.


 * I was actually working on a major edit of the page. Frustrated and pressed for time, I just made some edits of the first few sentences. Sigmund (talk) 12:32, 11 November 2009 (UTC)


 * An alloy, in engineering terms, isn't described as a mixture as engineers know what an alloy is. We're writing for a wider audience, who may not know what the term means.  That said, having the term wikilinked is at least arguably an acceptable solution to that.
 * Thanks for all your efforts on that page, looking good overall! Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 22:25, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello, Sigmund. Can you please add the page number of Kobbeltveit's book for the information? Thanks. Parsecboy (talk) 11:11, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't have the book, I got the information from a book review. Sigmund (talk) 12:20, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
 * We're going to need the page number to keep the material. Parsecboy (talk) 15:58, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Sure, go ahead and remove it. Sigmund (talk) 16:17, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Sigmund. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sigmund~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 02:43, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
