I have only just discovered how to communicate on this system. I hope this reaches you.

In answer to your first question, internal coils are used on some types of batch reactor. For pharmaceuatical and fine chemical applications however the coils are almost always mounted externally. The reason for this is that flat unobstructed internal surfaces are essential for cleaning.

It is more than possible that I have not filled in the relevant form correctly. However, on the subject of copywrite, these drawings are sound. I drew them myself using 'Solid Works'.

Your removal of the link on the reactor page is puzzling. We do research on continuous reactors, we are contributers to a new book on the subject, we have presented at over 30 conferences on reactors and written more than a dozen articles. We have had links on Wikipedia for years. We have never made sale through them but they do serve as a useful conduit for information. I regret that you persist in blocking this link. The information on our website is pertinent and we are still adding more information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Echis (talkcontribs) 11:52, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello Echis,
Thankyou for taking the time to contact me here. I will try to outline the perceived issues that have prompted my actions.
With regards to the images, the required notices have been added correctly. From my perspective the issue is if you generated them in the course of your employment, you don't own the copyright to them - your employer does. There does exist a procedure for an employer to release such work, I am unfamiliar with it however. If it is not the case that you did this during your employment, then you are able to. Caveat: I am not a lawyer.
With regards to the links, it is more the number of links that have been added. When examining your contributions it becomes apparent that your editing pattern from the 10th March 2007 consists of adding external links to articles. This type of behaviour has a very high correlation to spam edits or attempting to use Wikipedia as a promotional vehicle (not necessarily for sales).

Addendum: You may wish to browse wikipedia's guidelines on spam and Conflicts of interest. These documents are the result of broad consensus among many editors as to what does and does not constitute spam and a conflict of interest respectively. Fun light reading eh?

There is no problem with the legality of the drawings. We are a research company with 15 patents for batch and continuous reactors. We are interested in CSTRs, plug flow reactors and batch reactors. Our work on batch reactors is specifically related to calorimetry. I am concerned about the removal of these links. Is there an abritration process? - Robert Ashe —Preceding unsigned comment added by Echis (talkcontribs) 14:17, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Helo Echis,

There certainly is, we can first ask for a third opinion (Wikipedia:Third_opinion) then if that fails to resolve anything we can visit (Wikipedia:Dispute resolution). If you are keen to follow this path, just leave me a message saying you posted to third opinion and we can go from there. User A1 (talk) 23:48, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

I think I have a solution which will settle matters but it will take a week or two to complete. I have to admit that I am puzzled by the way you make decisions. On one of the pages we have been talking about one company has posted two links to itself on the same page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Echis (talkcontribs) 07:16, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

I removed the links and made a note to revisit the articles, with the intent to clean it up when I simultaneously get the time and the motivation. Any lack of consistency is most probably a lack of consistent editing effort. User A1 (talk) 12:48, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
