It is monoacid in Lewis sense.
It doesn't give any H+ in water but infact gains OH- from water creating H+ ions and making the solution acid.
But it can only take one such hydroxide ion from water cause it can not extend ita octet beyond that.
How do you find me wrong.
Please assist me to know the correct information. [[User:Vanshita poddar|Vanshita poddar]] ([[User talk:Vanshita poddar|talk]]) 17:10, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

I had added one reference link to page Бесхвостые , tutorvista had added its 4 links, then why not i can add one more reference link from other website. Its not promotion, but the page which i have, also tells about fron digestive system. So is that bad to put a reference link on that page. Please guide me.

Support request with team editing experiment project

Dear tech ambassadors, instead of spamming the Village Pump of each Wikipedia about my tiny project proposal for researching team editing (see here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Research_team_editing), I have decided to leave to your own discretion if the matter is relevant enough to inform a wider audience already. I would appreciate if you could appraise if the Wikipedia community you are more familiar with could have interest in testing group editing "on their own grounds" and with their own guidance. In a nutshell: it consists in editing pages as a group instead of as an individual. This social experiment might involve redefining some aspects of the workflow we are all used to, with the hope of creating a more friendly and collaborative environment since editing under a group umbrella creates less social exposure than traditional "individual editing". I send you this message also as a proof that the Inspire Campaign is already gearing up. As said I would appreciate of *you* just a comment on the talk page/endorsement of my project noting your general perception about the idea. Nothing else. Your contribution helps to shape the future! (which I hope it will be very bright, with colors, and Wikipedia everywhere) Regards from User:Micru on meta.

Maybe you should not rollback my code in the word "leapyear"

Hi, DMacks:

    When I fixed the some mistake of python code in "leap year", my code is rollback by you for the reason "Too much detail/WP is not a how-to manual". I'm software engineer, and I found many people don't known the history of "leap year", include the textbooks about programming in china. the wrong code is used for getting "leap year"(before 1582). So, I spend some time to study this question, and wrote the code which let more people know "leap year". can you allow the code is added to the context of "leap year".
   It's my first commit in Wiki. :)
   Best Regards
   Jerry.Liu, Beijing, China


   PS:
   I have add python code to bake of baidu. let more people knows the history of "leap year".  My English is poor, maybe you can know what I said.  hah.

Edit Summary

Thank you very much for your time, reminder, and guide.

DMacks - Undid revision 895653289 by Medlib.here (talk)

Hello DMacks - I'm not sure what your comment means, can you expand please?

"not in keeping with WP:EL. Maybe could be useful as an actual WP:CITE for new content? Undid revision 895653289 by Medlib.here (talk)"

FYI

I don't care enough for that article, but just so you know, a MoS is also just as toothless as a userspace essay. Any MoS is only optional and not binding. Just because some WikiProject has parked its flag on some article, does not mean it gets to dictate that specific article. Instead, this is decided through local consensus and what is best for the article. Just trying to make it clear why my original edit just links a user essay, and why that in itself is not justification to immediately revert. Not sure if you read it or not, but my essay does elaborate on the issue in depth, rather than just dictate without justification as MoS's tend to do. Opencooper (talk) 04:27, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I did read the essay, and I do have sympathy for being semantically correct about the meaning of a dict-def list vs somehow indenting. But I also know that that position does not have major support at this time, neither wikipedia-wide nor specifically in the various science working-groups. I don't support creating facts on the ground against consensus prior to developing a new consensus. Not just CHEM, but also MATH has the colon as the standard for indenting. And their MOS are part of the site MOS, not just locally-stamped consensus. DMacks (talk) 06:40, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The validity of their conesnsus was ratified in December 2017 (Wikipedia:Village pump_(policy)/Archive 138#RfC: Accessibility versus convenience in indentation) despite it contradicting other parts of MOS. DMacks (talk) 07:43, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Might want to check in on User:JamesRock2013

Based on his edit history, the guy seems a bit unhinged. HalfShadow 17:37, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What tipped you off, wombat<->dog edit-warring? I dropped them a level-3 warning, but they haven't edited in the past few days, so nothing much to do for now I guess. DMacks (talk) 05:24, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Chayobriggs

Hello, DMacks,

What do you think of the new unblock request at User talk:Chayobriggs? I'm inclined to give him a second chance to see if he can make contributions about financial topics. But I'll follow your lead. Liz Read! Talk! 22:25, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Liz: I have low expectations of a successful outcome if they work in that genre after looking at the deleted content and other details about these editors. But I could go along with WP:ROPE as soon as we get complete clarity of the real-world relationship of these accounts (see my note on Chayobriggs's talkpage). Right now, it sounds like there are (or at least were) at least two people and at least one of them using two accounts. I'm going to be taking a few days off wiki this coming week, so if you think there is a clear and wiki-policy-correct answer to those issues, feel free to unblock in whatever way makes the most sense to disentangle them.
