:I'm all for switching to the swank new ChemBox. I think that the ChemSpiderID still needs adding to it though? Also, not sure I like CAS500 as the source. Maybe I mistake the intent but what happens for CAS numbers >500? SHould it be "Validated CAS" and some definition somewhere?--[[User:ChemSpiderMan|ChemSpiderMan]] ([[User talk:ChemSpiderMan|talk]]) 02:12, 13 October 2008 (UTC) |

Some thoughts
- Should we switch from {{chembox new}} to the swank new {{chembox}} while we're making these edits?
- Should we tag the data values to indicate that CAS500 as the source? I think we talked about this on IRC a few weeks ago, but it would be nice to have WP:CITE/WP:RS so our readers know how authentic the data is. Maybe <ref name=CAS500>[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemicals/Chembox validation]]</ref> (or spin off that page's compound list onto a separate one that talks about the file rather than a "whiteboard" page about our work with it). Or else (another IRC-spawned idea) would be to wrap the values in a {{cas500|value'}} so we could figure out how to mark or cite it later (similar to {{GR}}). That would also allow us to do formatting of the value itself (bold if good, or colored green if good, yellow if unverified, red if...something bad?) to indicate that it's "known good" (with note added to chembox standard footer).
