which is, literally, a dictionary definition.
Reinstated the comment about coconut from the mispelled version. If it's removed again, it's normal to add it to the talk page. Andrewa 17:31, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)
article is mis-spelled
This is mis-spelled: should be desiccation etc. See for example http://www.merriam-webster.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=desiccation and http://www.hyperdictionary.com/dictionary/desiccation
OOPS. So it is. A very common mistake, and it will be a pain to fix here while preserving the histories. Mea culpa so I'll have a go. Andrewa 17:38, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Ah me. Cut and pasted from the now-deleted original talk page from the correctly (as it turned out) spelled version:
Redirect to correct spelling needed as
1. It's quite a common misspelling, what links here includes Arthrobacter, Vacuum, Ichthyostega and Berber as I write. Of course these should be fixed, but they demonstrate how common it is.
2. History should be preserved. Of course it could be merged.

Misspellings above corrected, see [1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Arthrobacter&oldid=2820050), [2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Vacuum&oldid=2820100), [3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Ichthyostega&oldid=2820132), [4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Berber&oldid=2820156) for the misspelled versions.

...just so it's clear I'm not covering my tracks. The only significant author whose history has been lost is me. I don't think that's a problem. Now to fix those 'corrections' I made before!!! Moral: Google is a lousy spell checker. Andrewa 18:05, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Added a link
I added a link to the Silica Gel Page (it has a LOT of information!) --fixman88 00:50, May 21, 2005 (UTC)
