Wikipedia has an article about steam

However, this article was written from scratch. Other than the drawing of a Mollier Diagram and perhaps one or two references, any other common content is purely coincidental. Milton Beychok 05:33, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Non-water steam?

So non-water gas is not technically steam, right? I infer as much from the opening, but would not have defined steam as water only if someone had asked me yesterday. Should the distinction be stated in the opening somewhere? --Joe Quick 15:49, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Forgive me for butting in. Do I understand correctly that before yesterday you thought that there exist gases, called steam, that do not consist of water molecules, H2O? What interests me is: what sort of gases, that aren't water, did you call steam before yesterday?--Paul Wormer 15:58, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
