Your edit to Nitrogen

edit

Remember to mark your edits as minor only when they genuinely are (see Wikipedia:Minor edit). "The rule of thumb is that an edit of a page that is spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a 'minor edit'." - CobaltBlueTony 20:13, 1 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Requesting your help

edit

I note that you have been fairly active in the Heat pump article, so I decided to ask for your help. Some Wikipedians have added a section on heat pumps into the Seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) article, the contents of which would really be much more appropriately placed in the Heat pump article. Would you please undertake to remove that section from the Seasonal energy efficiency ratio article and merge it into the existing Heat pump article? You can go directly to that section by clicking here ==> Seasonal energy efficiency ratio#Heat pumps.

I will watch for your reply here on your talk page. Thanking you in advance, - mbeychok 00:27, 5 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Your recent edits to Heat pump

edit

I am sorry to say, but I did give a very good reason as to why it should be removed. Would you mind supplying some resources explaining how it functions as a heat pump, if you have reference material I and others can access. --OrbitOne [Talk|Babel] 12:13, 10 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Proposal to erase a Table that you contributed to Heat pump

edit

Hi Ralph. In 2008 you contributed a Table of variation in Coefficient of Performance with output temperature. There is now a proposal to erase that Table. You may wish to join the discussion. See Talk:Heat pump#COP variation with output temperature. Dolphin (t) 11:29, 22 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
