User talk:Coffea

Coffea,

I appreciate your effort to include real world examples, but my concern with your example is that it was using spectroscopy to detect subjective properties of the coffee beans. I think a more direct example would be determining the water content of coffee beans since spectroscopy could directly detect the amount of water present. (I'm not sure if this is actually done, though, so I wouldn't want to claim this as an example.) Using spectroscopy to detect the quality of the roast is more of a correlation between a subjective human judgement and spectroscopic data that somehow relates to the chemical makeup of the bean. The connection between the two is looser than I would like in presenting the topic to a general audience.

Your comment got me thinking about possible examples from daily life. What would you think of any of the following: detecting the hole in the ozone layer using spectroscopy that quantified the amount of ozone in the atmosphere, inspection of paintings using spectroscopy to determine the authenticity of the piece based on the chemical content of the paint, or the monitoring of human hemoglobin concentrations (through the skin) using infrared spectroscopy. The first is an example of using spectroscopy for remote sensing. The second and third are both non-invasive and non-destructive applications. I'd be happy to try and work up a few sentences that captured the essence of any of these if you think they might work well.

Let me know what you think.

Hello. Your recent edit to List of coffee companies appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

Thank you for your comment.

As I read the page, "This is a worldwide list of coffee companies that roast or distribute coffee."

Hence, I added the name of a coffee company which was started in 1991 and continues to trade to this day.

Any further advice would be appreciated. Regards,Coffea (talk) 04:04, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

Most lists, including this one, include only notable entries. See the article's talk page. Meters (talk) 03:59, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
