Thank you for your edits to Soil mechanics. I've been trying to clean up some of the geotechnical engineering articles, but I've gotten too close to some of those articles, and don't always see where a significant rewrite would be useful. Argyriou (talk) 22:36, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Could you in particular look at the question I posed at Talk:Groundwater#Subsidence and aquifer capacity, regarding the statements at Groundwater#Problems under subsidence? Argyriou (talk) 20:13, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've replied to your questions on my talk page. Thanks! Αργυριου (talk) 18:29, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and since this gives you some useful references about Wikipedia:

Geotechnical project[edit]

Greetings. Currently, there are three of us geotechnical specialists in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Geotechnical engineering where we discuss our articles, set goals, and so forth. You may sign-up on the project page and join in our collaboration if you wish. I researched the terms lateral earth stress theory and lateral earth pressure theory. I was unable to find any basis for using stress in place of pressure as Google returned no results for it, every text and publication seems to use pressure, and Terzaghi himself used it. You have good writing, information, and so on, but you may find it helpful to look over some featured articles to learn about wiki-linking, typical encyclopedic style, and the use of lead sections.
