Untitled[edit]The student may have some work to do on formatting, but it's unfair to delete the page on him -- it's a correct and properly cited research article. J. Snow, Univ. Houston. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.7.53.114 (talk) 16:52, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
This was an adopt-a-mineral research paper for GEOL 3370, Dec 6, 2007, {name redacted}, Dr. Johnathan Snow, The University of Houston.
This is my paper, I wrote it and it took me time to post it. Now it looks like I will have to do it again. -{redacted} —Preceding unsigned comment added by Crw19 (talk • contribs) 15:33, 7 December 2007 (UTC) Moved Crw19's version here for cleanup, wikifying and integration. The images are unusable w/out proper tags. Vsmith (talk) 16:38, 7 December 2007 (UTC) (I hope you don't mind that I remove this next article text from here to make discussion easier, it's now again there on the other side.) Crw19, your message that the text is a research paper for The University of Houston, what does it mean exactly? Does this text count as published by that university or is it unpublished student work? I'm asking because if it already has a publisher it would need to be treated differently, but if it doesn't and you are ready to have it here then I guess it's fine. :) Best regards Rhanyeia♥♫ 08:56, 9 December 2007 (UTC) It is unpublished, it was a term paper. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Crw19 (talk • contribs) 15:25, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Afwillite[edit]The following copied from my talk for wider audience. Vsmith (talk) 23:37, 12 December 2007 (UTC) Hello, Where it says, "Afwillite is one of the calcium silicates that form when Portland cement sets to form concrete.[6] The cement gets its strength from the hydration of its di- and tri- calcium silicates." That's wrong and every time I correct it, you change it back. Afwillite does not form as a result of the Portland cement setting. It is used to make Portland cement. Afwillite can occur as an alteration or by contact metamorphism. Its key significance is that it is used for making Portland cement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Crw19 (talk • contribs) 05:53, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
Afwillite is rare, however, if you have access to Megaw H. D. (1952). The structure of Afwilltie. Acta. 5, 477. You will find that afwilite, is in fact used in Portland cement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.200.30.26 (talk) 15:45, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
