Basic information

Function Summary: In Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemistry, we sometimes have a large number of articles to tag. Right now, we're trying to manually remove all the {{ChemicalSources}} which we have discussed and agreed to be obsolete. There are 3000+ outstanding articles, so a bot is more productive than manual clicking. This is the sort of work this bot will be for.

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): N

Function Details: As above
