re: 2-pyridone

Sub-pages

Did you know that you can create Wikipedia:Subpages off your userpage? This would enable you to construct complicated pages like 2-pyridone in isolation rather than as part of your own userpage. HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 17:54, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and BTW, are you aware of WikiProject Chemistry and its sub-projects? You give the impression of someone who would be well-suited to help out there...HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 17:57, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks I will try to help with WikiProject Chemistry Stone 10:22, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Request for edit summary

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 47% for major edits and 33% for minor edits. (Based on the last 106 major and 150 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 12:33, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

CS gas

Many thanks for the review - I've added some data from an american army webpage - so I'm assuming it's PD and therefore usable directly. It's been a while since I studied chemistry so I think I'd have to leave a more detailed picture so someone with more experience. I appreciate the time you took to have a look and make a suggestion. Kind regards SeanMack 17:18, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Heptanol

If you prefer your structure image for heptanol, feel free to replace mine with it. I won't mind. I like the images you are creating. Keep up the good work. Edgar181 15:46, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Potassium benzoate

Thanks for your help and your message. Glad someone knows more about anaerobic fermentation then I do. :o) EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 22:18, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Leibniz prize

Thank you for your work on the Leibniz prize winners! I will list some of them at the Germany portal's new article section, if you don't mind. (If you don't want to see your name there, please remove the articles). Also, I would like to invite you to the German-speaking noticeboard and its talk page, a place where lots of German-speaking Wikipedians hang out and you can get translation suggestions and other help. Hope to see you there, happy editing und viele Grüße, Kusma (討論) 04:32, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, I forgot that we recently made the rule not to list stubs, so I can't list these articles until they are no longer stubs :-( Anyway, I still hope you check out the Portal page and the noticeboard. Kusma (討論) 04:35, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia :Scientific peer review

Thanks but I think I will pitch in only if there aren't enough Ph.D. folks with academic tenures out there (who can actually add weight to Wikipedia's reliability). Besides I don't think I have any science articles that stand out although I notice now that I started Amotz Zahavi, Chemical database, contributed to Prion, Ernst Mayr and a bit to species started W. D. Hamilton as an anonymous edit and have been working mostly on Fauna_and_flora_of_India and related links at the moment. I was pleasantly surprised that three articles that I touched were in the Nature review list Shyamal 07:57, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings from the imaginary chemist. I'll reply to your message on my talk page, when it is clearer how much the value of WP articles is for Board membership and how much the ability to get the science right is. As you have probably seen, I favour the latter and you favour the former. Depending how the debate goes, I may continue to nominate for the Board or I may just nominate to be a reviewer. Right now, I think it is more important to get consensus on rather a large number of matters. The nature of the Board is just one. There is scope of the project (just Natural Science or wider? what is natural science? etc). How big is the Board? Do we need a Charter? There will probably be others. --Bduke 22:53, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think we need both on the board, an because of this reason I asked! The other matters which have to be sorted out, I will try to help were I can help! --Stone 22:58, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For me it is OK when we stick to Natural Science but if there is enough people coming around asking for more I have no problem to incorporate them during the project. And for the beginning I always prefere not to make too nearrow boarders for the project, because wikipedia has room for nearly everything I hope! --Stone 00:20, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have responded to your question on my talk page in probably greater detail than necessary. --Bduke 22:13, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your message

Thanks for your message on my talk. I've replied on Scientific peer review talk, and I'm happy for my nomination to stay.

Best wishes,

Uranium Trioxide gas

Thanks for your support Stone, it's been a big help to bringing some sence and order to this topic. --DV8 2XL 20:00, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Heretic Question

The area where Kopernik was born, lived and died was a part of Poland at the time, so your analogy is kinda weak. Space Cadet 12:25, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Uranium trioxide

Fancy pitching in there and reviewing the latest edits? 129.215.195.81 19:47, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article could to with a dose of sanity and a revert. 82.41.26.244 00:49, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

s/en-3/en-2/

The English writing skill shown in your recent edits to Uranium trioxide are not at the en-3 level. --James S. 10:19, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gas in the Uranium article???!!!!!!!???!!??!?!!!?!!?!!!

Look who filled in all the detail!!!!! --James S. 14:13, 5 April 2006 (UTC) !!![reply]

Thanks

Thanks for you comments on UO3. I will try more cleanup as time permits, although I may be busy this week. I had to laugh about your comments on the insignificance of UO3--what a compound to be in an edit war about! Olin 13:18, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Boron trichloride in WP:Chem worklist

Hi, Harald, what made you add the boron trichloride article to the worklist under the Out of Scope section? I was considering to completely do away with this whole section, to focus all attention to the chosen articles in the worklist proper. I do see some activity every now and then in this out-of-scope list, and your explicit addition triggered me to step up from merely wondering to actually asking. Wim van Dorst (Talk) 12:58, 14 April 2006 (UTC).[reply]

UO3 (again!)

Hello, can you cross-check if the Selbu paper says there is UO3 formed during combustion of uranium or not and if necessary revert uranium trioxide? Dr Zak 21:29, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Diborane

Good stuff on the history. My D Phil at Oxford was on diborane, both theoretical and experimantal. The undergdauate who wrote the paper, H. Christopher Longuet-Higgins, deserves his own article and I will write it soon. If you link, please use the name as in my link as that is the link in the list of members of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science. I'm working through the list of members there. Christopher did great things with Coulson and then dropped Chemistry and made a new name for himself in Artificial Intelligence. That makes his article less than straight forward. On preparation, by far the easiest is NaBH4 plus acid. Sulphuric was used first. I wrote a paper about using phosphoric acid, and that got in "Inorganic Synthesis" (I forget which issue, but it was the 1960s). --Bduke 22:11, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jabir ibn Hayyan

Hi Herald!

Im sorry to bother you. But since you have been involved in many chemistry related articles, your neutral stand is needed in the Jabir ibn Hayyan article, regarding his ethnicity. Nearly all reliable sources say that he was an Arab. I listed all sources here: [1].

Thank you! jidan 01:23, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Geber and Copernicus

If you you like to read the two talk pages, you would take a step back and wait for the dispute to settle a bit. But you are right christian chemist Liebig sounds strange and gives a wrong impression, or even better the christian biologist Charles Darvin. So lets make him an Iran born Arab or an Persian, but with both suggestions you set fire to something nobody wants. My suggestion would be make him be born in one city and a link to the city and everybody who likes the nationality of the guy can figure out that at this time persia and the arabs changed teretory often and had several wares and Iran and Irak where not nations like we know it in our time, but edit wars never follow common sence, but POV pushing attackes and 3RR and all the other time consuming stuff.--Stone 09:21, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I see that the edit war has blown up a bit... I don't really care either way, but I don't think there should just be his religion. I don't really mind if there is anything there or not, but if there is, then his nationality should prioritise. -postglock 11:49, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Was his religion a point of big influence on his research? Another point is that with this name and this region of the world something else than islam would be astonishing. Jews christans and hindus were always minorities in the region, I think.-Stone 12:25, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

A wiki user User:Inahet, had actually took the time to go the library, borrow the book E.J. Holmyard's Makers of Chemistry, and type the part important about Jabir's ethnic background. I have commented this. More here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Geber#A_test . jidan 17:31, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks very much for your comment regarding uranium, etc. Badagnani 19:19, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And you're quick

About C2O: Impressive that you have that info at your "fingertips". As to your English skills, the chemistry is more important and I have not noticed any problems. I was looking at the "bible" again this AM - apparently this TiI4 stuff is semi-important in making high purity Ti. I think htat you mentioned the van Arkel and de Boer processes where the transiently formed TiI4 is transported to a hot filament and reverts to Ti.--Smokefoot 20:05, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Packistani A-bomb

I have put this article up at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Packistani A-bomb. Your opinion on this matter would be appreciated. --DV8 2XL 01:56, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

CN ref's

Stone: You do fast work. I returned the favor with a ref to a rare report on cyanide biosynthesis. Best wishes,--Smokefoot 14:14, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Uranium pictures

Please could you tell me how I can move the pictures to the commons. As the author of the pictures (who has given away all copyright to the rest of the world) I have no problem with other wikipedia projects using the pictures.Cadmium

Hyaline oxide

Hyaline oxide is an interesting case. It appears that there is no public record of this compound - there are no references to it in Chemical Abstracts. The cited reference in the journal Microgram is a publication of the US Drug Enforcement Agency whose website says that archives are permanently unavailable to the public. So I think hyaline oxide is not verifiable and therefore subject to deletion according to Wikipedia policy. --Ed (Edgar181) 13:46, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's now on AFD: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hyaline oxide. --Ed (Edgar181) 13:59, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Arbitration

You presence is requested at the Arbitration Re: Removal of humus sapiens admin privilages due to administrative abuse. Please click Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration Israel Article. As you are aware that my article on Human Rights on Israel was salaciously deleted without consulting the talk page on the article. Your comments on this would be appreciated.--Oiboy77 17:30, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've answered you on talk page. I know you didn't of course, somebody else did. I agree that my text is welcome there. Thank you. Georgianis | (t) 17:05, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
