== About [[Boiling point/Draft]] ==
Hi, Henry:
I have responded to your comment on my Talk page about [[Boiling point/Draft]]. I think that it may be best if you copied your comment and my response ... and pasted it into the talk page of [[Boiling point/Draft]] in the section devoted to comments about the re-approval. That is the more appropriate place for our interchange of comments. Regards, [[User:Milton Beychok|Milton Beychok]] 17:40, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
== About your boiling point diagram ==
Henry, if you hurry and contact Anthony.Sebastian <i>immediately</i>, you may be able to get your diagram included before the re-approval is completed. But do so as quickly as you can ... and tell him that I am in agreement as documented right here. [[User:Milton Beychok|Milton Beychok]] 03:30, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
:I just inserted the diagram and left a message on [[User talk:Anthony.Sebastian]] and on [[Talk:Boiling point/Draft]] that Milton Beychok approves.  [[User:Henry A. Padleckas|Henry A. Padleckas]] 09:16, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
== About [[Missile vehicle]] ==
Hi, Henry: After a quick scan of the subject article, I did the following:
* I created the credit line for the photo which the original uploader failed to do.
* I removed the "Technical Team" category from the Metadata form because we have no such workgroup for articles.
* I down-graded the status from 1 (Developed and ready for Approval) to 2 (Developing). Before upgrading to a status of 1, I suggest that:
**The article be reformatted by creating some relevant sections, for example, a fairly brief introductory section and a "History" section with a section header. Perhaps you could break it down into even more sections.
**Create and populate the "Related articles" subpage (equivalent to WP's "See also" section)
**Create and populate the "External links" subpage (hyperlinks to other website information ... but not WP.)
**Create and, if you can, populate the "Bibliography" subpage (more books and journal articles that are relevant).
* Let it sit for a while (perhaps at least a 2-3 weeks) to see if anyone else edits/add/deletes, revises the article.

== About uploading photos or other images ==
Henry, see what I said about uploading images (from Wikimedia Commons and/or Flickr) at [[Talk:Missile vehicle]]. I just uploaded the photo of the German Patriot launcher for you. You can install it in your article by using this coding: '''<nowiki>{{Image|GermanPatriotMissile.jpg|right|350px|Add image caption here.}}</nowiki>''' and you are free to change the width of 350px and to add any caption you desire.

Thank you, Milt, for uploading this photo. I have substituted this photo for the one already present in the Missile vehicle article, although I have not removed the banners and wires. I believe that could be done at a later, convenient time. I consider this photo to be a slight improvement over the last photo you uploaded because in the last photo, the back end of the truck was cut off in the pic. I notice this newly uploaded photo shows only 7 wheels on the side, when I mentioned in the article that it was an 8-axle truck, which is consistent with the en:WP article photo. Oh well ! Henry A.
