:Two further points: (a) Does this article need a section on non-equilibrium thermodynamics? (b) [[Thermodynamics]] has links to [[Laws of thermodynamics]] ... but when I go to [[Laws of Thermodynamics]], I find it to be an almost useless stub of an article. Is the much better "Laws of thermodynamics" section of [[Thermodynamics]] inclusive enough for me to ask for speedy deletion of the useless [[Laws of thermodynamics]] stub?

::Didn't have a closer look yet but in general, if there is sufficient material (as in this case), I would think it is better to have a separate article rather than a section in another one with a broader scope. This would also facilitate interlinking of the concepts, as well as approval of the individual articles. --[[User:Daniel Mietchen|Daniel Mietchen]] 23:45, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Requesting reviews

I think this article was originally a port from WP, but not sure. In any event, I just made a number of changes such as re-ordering the sections and formatting changes without making any changes in content.

I would like to ask that Paul Wormer, Daniel Mietchen, David Volk and any others with thermodynamics expertise review this article and make whatever revisions are needed to start it down the road for approval. Please! Milton Beychok 17:54, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
