Could use some eyes on [[Acupuncture]]. Some editors are trying to elevate some unsupported or poorly supported explanations to the level of "theories". A lot of the material in the section on "Proposed mechanisms of action" is not supported by sources complying with [[WP:MEDRS]], and the most widespread explanation, the placebo effect, is played down, probably violating [[WP:NPOV]].

Request for Re-assessment
The article Bad Astronomy has been substantially improved by Joshuafilmer please consider re-assessing it. MrBill3 (talk) 20:24, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
Acetic acid FAR
I have nominated Acetic acid for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. FutureTrillionaire (talk) 19:56, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
ORCID identifiers
ORCID, the Open Research Contributor ID is an identifier for contributors to academic papers, journals, and other such publications, including Wikipedia. It's the equivalent for such people of an ISBN for a book. I would encourage all editors, but especially those who also contribute to scientific papers, to register for an ORCID. If you know any scientists who are the subject of a Wikipedia article, please ask them to do so, too. ORCIDs can be added to articles, or user pages, using the {{Authority control}} template.

50 images from the Science Museum collection
Hi
The Science Museum in London have agreed to release 50 of it's images (at a medium resolution) under a Wikimedia compatible license. Do you have anything in particular Wikimedia needs that they have? Feel free to give me a list if you like. The 2 websites that the images would be available from are:
- http://collectionsonline.nmsi.ac.uk/
- http://www.scienceandsociety.co.uk/ (has to say copyright Science Museum for them to be able to release them)
I'm hoping this is the start of something larger but could just be a one off so am trying to come up with a most wanted list.

The year 1512 in science and technology included an entry: “Pharmaceutics Hieronymus Brunschwygk's "Big Book (of Distillation)" describes medicinal herbs and the construction of stills for processing them.”
The Hieronymus Brunschwig link leads to his page which states:
Brunschwig's Liber de arte distillandi simplicia et composita (also known as the "Little Book of Distillation") was one of the earliest books ever written concerning the subjects of chemistry and pharmacology. Printed by Grüninger in 1500”
…but says nothing about a “Big Book.”
There should be a corroborating entry. Hoohoolian (talk) 17:54, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
Aquatic Ape Hypothesis

 Hello, |
Template:Convert hijacks C and F (the symbols for coulomb and farad) for °C and °F, and conflicts with Template:val
Please consider this thread. Is the utility of hijacking these symbols worth the irregularities and frustrations it introduces? — Quondum 02:02, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
