Jonathan, you commented that my 2005 contribution to the general anode article would be better placed under sacrificial anodes. I have to agree, but i no longer find my contribution present in any case. Apparently its been deleted. A pity, because i am an expert in corrosion and was a consultant to the sacrificial anode industry for many years and have written a monograph on the technical aspects including the related corrosion chemistry. But i am not going to take the time to re-enter what i wrote previously. Curiously i found a link to a commercial site selling replacement anodes for water heaters! Maybe those guys were the ones that deleted my post. I guess this is the downside of anyone being able to edit. There is a surprising amount of mumbo jumbo and incorrect information on the functioning of sacrificial anodes on the internet and in the industry in general. Today i looked at the entry under "sacrificial anode" and found ridiculously incorrect information. I corrected the article so that it is at least not quite as bad, but i'm not going to re-write it. Thanks for commenting, and i do agree that my contribution, if it still existed, would be better placed under the "sacrificial" anode entry.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy).

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
