Re: Spam blacklist

I had actually added an extensive report to the blacklist page right before you pasted my comment -- but stupid me, I added it to the proposed removals instead of the proposed additions. ha ha ha... anyway, thanks for the help! :) --Jaysweet (talk) 13:04, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Fantastic, that's a much more thorough report. Thanks. -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:16, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Faith in Action

Edgar, would you be able to help me comply with the numerous requests on the Faith in Action page? I am not truly getting what I need to do or if someone else has to do it? I appreciate any help given. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Volunteers2502 (talk • contribs) 14:11, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

In my opinion, the cleanup requests were a bit excessive, so I've removed a couple of them and also a little bit of copyediting. What the article really needs are citations to reliable sources independent of Faith in Action. Newspaper articles, mentions on third-party websites, etc. Can you try to find these kinds of things and add them to the article as references? This will help the article meet verifiability and notability guidelines. 15:19, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you Edgar for your help, I can come up with some articles and hopefully I can put them up there (my confidence level is sinking fast) lol Jackey —Preceding unsigned comment added by Volunteers2502 (talk • contribs) 16:31, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

re block of User:216.220.94.82

I indef blocked them because they had been blocked previously and hadn't made any good contribs. Plus, there was no note on the talk page or in the block log that said it was a school IP. The Placebo Effect (talk) 14:16, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

I was about to give them a six-month block, but you beat me to it. I just wondered if there was more than what I was seeing. -- Ed (Edgar181) 14:21, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

I decided to switch it to a one year {{schoolblock}}. If you object, please let me know. -- Ed (Edgar181) 18:14, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

6 Month Block?

Hey, I'm not one to question an admin, but 6months? They hadn't been warned since 11 Feb, which was also only a Level 1 warning. I'm definetly not a vandal sympathiser. But as shown, it's a shared IP, it could have been a completely different user. Perhaps a shorter block might be appropriate here, perhaps a week? 6 months seems a bit too severe here, in my opinion. Steve Crossin (talk to me) 17:01, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Based on a history of repeated vandalism and multiple prior month+ blocks, a 6 month block is what I will routinely apply in this situation. The block is anonymous only, so registered users will still be able to edit, but the anonymous vandalism will be prevented. -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:10, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

• Fair enough, you are the admin after all. Was just voicing my thoughts, as I watch and check reports on AIV quite a bit. Cheers, Steve Crossin (talk to me) 17:16, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

It's always good to ask - both as a chance to catch mistakes and to learn why. -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:18, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Methoxylamine Hydrochloride

On a different subject, I see chemistry is your special field. I've been trying to write an article on Methoxylamine Hydrochloride (was a requested article) but I'm a bit stuck for sources. And a 3D model would help as well. Any suggestions? Steve Crossin (talk to me) 17:19, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

I'd recommend creating an article for the parent compound methoxylamine. Information about salts of that compound, such as the hydrochloride could be added as well. Basic data for an infobox can be found at PubChem [1]. To get information for the article, Google Scholar might be the place to start. -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:25, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

• Okay, thanks a lot. I'll have to try putting that all into an infobox. I think its time to go bed, I'm exhausted. Thanks for your help, and reponse to my question about the block. If I need help with that article, I'll know who to ask for help. Cheers, Steve Crossin (talk to me) 17:29, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

212.219.191.184

212.219.191.84 It appears that there is no reference to how long the block is in the template, not sure if this is intentional or just an oversight. Just thought i would bring it up, Cheers.

AnnaJGrant (talk) 12:02, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

The length of the block is an optional parameter in the blocking template and I usually don't fill it in. This one is for a month - info that can always be found in the block log. -- Ed (Edgar181) 14:53, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Pangamic acid

Hi Ed. The structural formula you drawed does not correspond to PubChem. Can you please check? Thanks. --Leyo 16:50, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

The structure in PubChem is nonsense. Geminal amino groups like that would not be stable, particularly with bulky di-isopropyl substitution. My structure matches the one given by Chemical Abstracts. -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:27, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

That's what I thought, but I wanted to be sure before correcting the incorrect article on de-WP. --Leyo 18:21, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Faith in Action

Ed, Is there anyway to move the tags on the Faith in Action page so they are not at the top until all requrements are met? Volunteers2502 (talk) 13:01, 4 April 2008 (UTC)JackeyVolunteers2502 (talk) 13:01, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

They are typically placed at the top. I don't really know if anyone will object if you simply move them to the bottom. Go ahead and move them - the worst that can happen is that someone will move them back. -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:38, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

RE: Drug articles that do not have chemical structures yet

Hi. I just want to know, why are there no chemical structures in the following articles?

• Lestaurtinib
• Atamestane
• Apricitabine

Could you please create chemical structures for these drugs? :-) Carlo Banez (talk) 16:16, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

It looks like User:Fvasconcellos already took care of apricitabine. I added images to the other two. -- Ed (Edgar181) 20:04, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Oligomycin

Hi Ed, one small question: Your Pic refers to Oligomycin A, because there exists also other types (B till F?), right? I was just wondering, cause I will use your pic in the German Wikipedia. Cheers, --Yikrazuul (talk) 11:05, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it is oligomycin A. -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:19, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

RE: Information about arzoxifene

Hello. Another article about a drug has been created. It is all about arzoxifene, an experimental selective estrogen receptor modulator. Could you add further information on this article? :-) Carlo Banez (talk) 11:17, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I added an image and some categories. I'll see if I can find anything else. -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:19, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

RE: Information about nadifloxacin

Hello, Ed. I have created a new article, which is about the topical antibiotic nadifloxacin. Could you create a chemical structure for it? :-) Carlo Banez (talk) 17:07, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

OK, I've added an image and a bit of data to the drugbox. -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:43, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Azidomorphine

Hi Edgar. Would you mind terribly drawing a nicer structure for azidomorphine? I've put one there which will do for now, but I'm not sure what the best way to draw an azide group should be as I'd imagine its delocalised rather than having formal charges as shown, and also I realised that it should be bent and I drew it linear, very sloppy of me.Meodipt (talk) 11:41, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Drawing the charges like that on an azide is just fine. I created an image uploaded to Commons with the proper geometry around the first nitrogen. -- Ed (Edgar181) 11:51, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Mikethecoug

Ed, I'm not one to have any regard or respect for persistent vandals, but this guy User Talk:Mikethecoug had not had any warnings since May 2007. I had just given a warning and went to comment at AIV when I saw you had indef. Not really questioning your decision if you want to stand by it, as his edits leave much to be desired, just giving you a heads up. Cheers. -- Alexf⁴² 12:15, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Looks like we were editing at the same time - when I looked at his talk page, the warning from you was not there yet. I wouldn't have blocked if I had seen that someone had given him one last warning. Though, with a history of vandalism for more than a year without any constructive edits in that time, indef blocking seems appropriate to me. Feel free to unblock and give a second chance if you see fit to do so. -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:22, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Nope. I might, if he politely asks in a proper unblock request, else it stands. Thanks. -- Alexf⁴² 12:26, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Image:Piperonal structure.png

Hi Ed. I think your structures would be better (i.e. clearer for non-chemists), if you would draw the H in the aldehyde group. Otherwise, it could be confused with a ketone. --Leyo 21:28, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

I see that there is already such a version: Image:Piperonal.svg. Sorry for the disturbance. --Leyo 21:31, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Methcathinone, Street Names.

I notice you have removed my addition of 'Ellie's Silly Snuff' from the selection of street names for methcathinone. I understand that I do not have a history of contributions to this site and that the information I presented could therefore be considered suspect. However I can assure you that Methcathinone has recently appeared for illicit sales in the UK under the name 'Ellie's Silly Snuff' A reply would be Appreciated.

Regards.

Information added to Wikipedia should be verifiable. Can you find something to verify the information you added - or any of the other street names? That would help. It's possible that the whole street names section should be removed unless we can find a reference to verify them. -- Ed (Edgar181) 11:53, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

RE: Further information on Maropitant

Hi Ed. I have just created a new article, which is about the veterinary drug maropitant, but I have not included some information on the drugbox. Could you please edit it further? :-) Carlo Banez (talk) 16:35, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

OK, done. I changed data in the infobox to match the parent compound, and put a link to the PubChem data for the citrate salt in the external links. Hopefully that's fine with you. -- Ed (Edgar181)

Structures

Dear Ed: I am putting on my curgudeony hat for this message. I think that the recently appearing pictures of nitrate salts are uhelpful and in fact they are quite misleading. These species have far more complex structures: they are 3-d polymers, right? Organic chemists would hit the roof if I said that polyethylene had the structure CH2. Okay, maybe your (if you are the artist, apologies otherwise!) intention is to represent something about solution structure. Nope, the cations are definitely not naked, but have strongly bonded ligands (in water, the ligands would be H₂O, mainly) and the nitrate would have 3-fold symmetry. If you feel strongly otherwise, we should discuss this effort or your intentions on the project page, because this aspect is kind of policy theme. Thanks,--Smokefoot (talk) 17:26, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

I understand your concern. I saw that several articles, such as ammonium nitrate and sodium nitrate, already had structures drawn as I have done. And since so many other nitrate compounds were listed in the category of needing a chemical structure drawing, I created those images. These images aren't intended to be representative of three-dimensional crystallographic form - much the same way a typical skeletal structure of an organic compound isn't representative of conformation. But they have value in the context of understanding connectivity. If these images are inappropriate, I don't mind if they all need to be removed or replaced. Perhaps this is something that should be brought up at one of the chemistry wikiprojects. -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:59, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the response. I will probably leave them be. One further comment in response to your organicker remark "much the same way a typical skeletal structure of an organic compound isn't representative of conformation." the pictures of the nitrates have almost zero relation to reality, whereas the 2-dimensional projections of an organic molecules has got the connectivity correct. BTW, thanks for all of your work (aside from this transgression!). Cheers, --Smokefoot (talk) 23:59, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

about ctn-music.com supposed spams

Hi, I'm the webmaster and the publisher of the website ctn-music.com, our site is a web magazine like others, we talk, we write articles and critics about artists, it's our job, why are you considering us as spam ? our articles are related about the artists pages, they are linked in their official website and official forum.

New chemical

Hello, the Roasted barley tea article mentions a chemical called alkylpyrazine. Is this a real chemical and do you have the expertise to create a stub about it? Badagnani (talk) 05:28, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

"Alkylpyrazine" is not a specific chemical because alkyl refers to a series forming a chemical group. If there are enough common characteristics of alkylpyrazines as a group, it may be worth an article though. I'll look into it. -- Ed (Edgar181) 11:31, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

They seem to be important aroma compounds, so I have now created alkylpyrazine as a stub. -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:54, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

207.61.101.2

Hi, I was just on one of my school's computers and I attempted to edit my userpage without being online then I saw that the IP was disabled. I just wanted to let you know that IP 207.61.101.2 is an entire school's IP address and it might have been one person that vandalized (I'm assuming it was vandalism) a page on Wikipedia. Russell High School is the name of the school which IP was blocked. The reason why I am contacting you is because it said that you were the one that blocked the IP. Please remove the ban. Loghead1 (talk) 16:51, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Because of the repeated vandalism coming from that IP address, it has been blocked mulitple times for long durations. It is well within Wikipedia's blocking policy to prevent editing from IP addresses that have been the source of that much vandalism. To protect Wikipedia, I don't think it would be a good idea to unblock. The current block is a "soft block" which only prevents anonymous editing and allows those who wish to contribute constructively, such as you, to do so. -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:40, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

True, true, and I only use my username anyways. Thanks! Loghead1 (talk) 21:37, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Curious about Generalized Verma module del/restore

Howdy, I was curious why Generalized Verma module was deleted and then restored. Was it to remove vandalism or something? I had a vague memory I had edited it, but I am not in the history now. Quite possibly it was another article, or part of my cleanup of "we have 30 articles on the same concept, most of which are linked from this article" that didn't require any edits. Just want to make sure I understand how it works, and that I didn't make any edits that needed removal :) JackSchmidt (talk) 16:07, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

A user added to that article a phone number and an invitation to make prank calls to it. The same thing was done to multiple other articles until he was blocked from editing. I wanted to eliminate those edits from the visible histories of the articles. The only way for an admin to do this is to delete the whole article and then to restore all but the offending edits. This is what occurred at Generalized Verma module. There were no edits by you deleted from the article's history. I hope this explains it. -- Ed (Edgar181) 16:22, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Sucralfate

Do you think, it is also possible to draw the structure of sucralfate? It looks quite complicated to me. ;-) The best model might probably be this one (IMHO better than on PubChem). --Leyo 20:21, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

I've added a structure that is based on both Chemical Abstracts and the Merck Index. I'm not quite sure how to represent the 8 Al(OH)₃ groups. They are not covalently bound to the disaccharide portion, but the both Chem Abstracts and the Merck Index indicate that each of the is associated with one of the 8 aluminium groups that are part of the disaccharide. Merck Index just writes out that part in text as SO₃[Al₂(OH)₅]. I've decided to represent it in a bit of an ambiguous fashion. The online databases PubChem and Drugbank have structures that don't make too much sense chemically. I've seen this before with complexes with parts that are not covalently associated -the result is automatically generated structures that are a bit confused. -- Ed (Edgar181) 23:19, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Why is there so much water? 14 waters if I'm not wrong. Water of crystallization? --Rifleman 82 (talk) 20:27, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

It wouldn't surprise me at all if the material was quite hydroscopic and the number of water molecules associated with it would vary depending on manufacturing conditions, crystallization method, humidity upon storage, etc. There's quite a bit of polarity in that beast of a molecule. -- Ed (Edgar181) 23:19, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, the structure looks good IMHO. When looking at aluminium hydroxide, it would not be surprising if sucralfate is quite hydroscopic. --Leyo 00:03, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough. I saw the pubchem page and from the SMILES I copied, all the water were just that - free water. Usually I would just omit these waters of crystallization. But, I see that the image here is a bit different. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 01:50, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Diagram

Hi, can you add a diagram for Retinyl palmitate? Badagnani (talk) 00:50, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm wondering if this page should just redirect to retinol. Some context would be the mono, di, trisodium citrate pages. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 01:54, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

The palmitate form is widely used as an ingredient in processed foods. Badagnani (talk) 03:41, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

This is one that could probably go either way. I don't think it would be bad to merge into retinol, but I'd be inclined to leave it as a separate article considering its distinct uses as a food additive and as a pharmaceutical treatment for vitamin A deficiency. -- Ed (Edgar181) 11:36, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Here were my final comments that were removed. maybe you can put them back.

I think that you are beginning to make my point for me, yet it is moot as I have removed the entire article. Feel free to bully someone else. Oh, by the way, First Amendment day just came and went. It started much the same way, and is only just now getting any published pieces after six years, (it is actually 9 years old, but recognized as six) My point is that there is not a Wikipedia Article on it....maybe you should create one.

Thanks again

Thanks

Thanks for unblocking me, but you should think about blocking User:Smsarmad before I'm very sure he's the one who vandalized the articles previously Special:Contributions/81.149.22.123 because when I corrected the errors, he reverted them back. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.42.187.213 (talk) 20:36, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I think it would be best for both of you talk to each other in a civil fashion rather than simply reverting each other and accusing each other of vandalism; or perhaps seek a third-opinion about your dispute (see Wikipedia:Third opinion). -- Ed (Edgar181) 20:42, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Two weeks ago, this person changed many of these articles that have always stated that the people in question are Shi'a Muslims. Now that I reverted these edits, he reverted them back and had the nerve to report me. This user should be blocked from disruptive editing and POV pushing, at least temporarily. 77.42.187.213 (talk) 20:47, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Have you tried talking with this person? -- Ed (Edgar181) 20:49, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, and as you can see from my talk page and his, this is someone who is very ill-intentioned. 77.42.187.213 (talk) 20:55, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I meant talking about the actual point of disagreement. I see your name calling and accusations, but little else. -- Ed (Edgar181) 21:09, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I am surprised that you unblocked the above anon editor despite of uncivil behavior and I would call personal attacks he made at me, as you can see at my talk page and edit summaries which I think you already have seen. --SMS ^Talk 22:17, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

New Project

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.

If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 02:57, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Content of deleted article

User 69.24.5.21

I am contacting you due to your obviously superior knowledge of wikipedia than me due to age of account. As I do not know the process I am hoping you can take care of it.

69.24.5.21 (talk · contribs) has been cited multiple times for vandalism. I have tipped off a few classroom administrators as I know who caused the most recent vandalism, however there are near 200 computers in this school sharing the same IP so it is near impossible to monitor all of the students. I hope you can find a way to block anonymous edits from this IP address. I am nearly 100% sure this vandalism will not stop so I am suggesting the block in order to stop most vandalism from this IP.

Thank you, Php Jesse (talk) 17:27, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

In general, Wikipedia does not block IP addresses in anticipation of vandalism, but usually only to stop ongoing vandalism. That IP address has been responsible for a small amount of vandalism (relatively speaking) and has received a couple of short blocks in response. If additional inappropriate editing comes from that IP, longer blocks (usually preventing only anonymous editing) will be applied. However, since there have been no edits at all from that IP in a couple of weeks, there doesn't seem to be any need for a block currently. If the vandalism does continue at some point, please warn them (see WP:WARN), or report it to WP:AIV. I hope this helps explain things. -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:37, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

ZERO TO THREE

Hi, I'm an intern at ZERO TO THREE creating a page for them. The organization is a non-profit. I want them to have a Wiki page since what they do (early childhood education) correlates with other subjects on Wikipedia. This isn't blantant advertising. How can I get the page back up? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Worthgr (talk • contribs) 19:57, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

The article came across as completely promotional, rather than encyclopedic in tone. It doesn't really matter whether it is a non-profit organization or not. Before trying to rewrite the article in a more neutral fashion, you might want to first take a look at Wikipedia's notability guidelines. If the organization doesn't meet guidelines, it is likely to be deleted again. Also, it is considered a conflict of interest to write about organizations with which you are affiliated, so it is probably best to let someone else create it. -- Ed (Edgar181) 20:02, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. The version I deleted was copied directly from the subject's website, so I deleted as a copyright violation. The current version is not a copy, and doesn't appear to be an obvious advertisement to me. I'd be inclined to send it to AFD, but since the editor is working on it, I'll keep an eye on it for now. I suspect, though, that another admin will speedy it before too long. -- Ed (Edgar181) 20:42, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Srilap

I would like ISKCON's "Issues within the society" and "Rath Yatra controversy" to be kindly removed. Firstly, respecting people's beliefs, i do not find it fair that negative information such as this should be displayed PUBLICLY on a site as well known as this. Secondly, these contraversies have no solid proof to substantiate them, and have widely been said to ruin ISKCON's reputation.

I deleted the information earlier, because i believed it necessary to protect ISKCON's reputation. Being a follower myself, i found it offensive to have seen such invalid and inappropriate information on a public website.

Please kindly take these points into consideraiton.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Srilap (talk • contribs)

I'm sorry, I don't know what you are referring to. Can you tell me the name(s) of the article(s)? -- Ed (Edgar181) 11:54, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

The article is: International Society for Krishna Consciousness

OK, I see now. If you disagree about the content of that article, please discuss your concerns on the talk page. Simply removing content is generally against Wikipedia's policies. You were asked to stop, but you persisted, and that's why I applied the short block on editing.

lock oxybutynin

do you think it would be worthwhile to lock the oxybutynin article for a bit? someone has written in that it is a "very effective" treatment for hyperhidrosis. Their supporting documentation is a case report with just one patient, and then two _comment_ articles. I edited this to read "possible" treatment based on lack of supporting data and user Try45 immediately undid the revision with no explanation. Then you restored my revision, and Try45 quickly reversed your action. Any attempts to fix this are rapidly undone by Try45 with no explanation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scott1976 (talk • contribs) 03:07, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Generally, pages aren't locked from editing unless there is vandalism or severe disruption of some sort. I think this is something that can be resolved by discussion. I have asked Try45 to discuss his edits on the article's talk page. -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:05, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

What is your supporting data for using the term 'possible' ? , instead of 'very effective' ?.

I think you are splitting hairs with me.

Someone else could easily remove your connection of Oxybutynin with hyperhidrosis altogether, because Oxybutynin is not actually licenced for hyperhidrosis.

Who says that YOUR wording is exactly correct?.

Try45

I've copied you comments to Talk:oxybutynin and replied there. That is probably a more appropriate place for the discussion so that others interested in the article can see it and participate. Hopefully Scott1976 can comment there too.-- Ed (Edgar181) 13:36, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Rollback is a feature that makes reverting vandalism easier - you should notice just an extra button when you look at an article's history. It's a privilege that any administrator can grant to another account. I think it is something that should be given to every trusted user, even if they aren't going to use it much, so I've been giving it to every regular wikichemist. Sorry that I neglected to drop you note letting you know. (If you object, I can remove it.) -- Ed (Edgar181) 11:25, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for blocking the anonymous user who repeatedly vandalized my userpage. It is greatly appreciated. I have a related question for you, though. Given that the vandalism arose from a content dispute at the Whiskey in the Jar article, and that more than one anon is involved in said content dispute, do you think that page protection is in order? Frankly, this is one of the silliest content disputes in which I have ever been involved, but there are real issues here, and it should be addressed in a reasonable manner. Thanks again for your time and efforts. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 18:52, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

You removed, among other information, the proton NMR shift, which to my knowledge is not available in any other free reference.

Hi. :) I happened to notice that when you restored this article, you didn't restore the talk page. (The restoration was fresh up on the deletion log when I checked it today; I noticed then, but kept the article open while doing other things so as not to anticipate you.) I'm pretty sure that it's restoration is uncontroversial, so I've taken the liberty of bringing it back. Not much on it but a project tag, but it has been assessed so it might save some duplicate effort. If I've misread the situation and you would rather I not have restored the talk page, then please accept my hearty apologies and feel free to redelete. :) Second-guessing people sometimes backfires and there may be other factors you had in mind there of which (obviously) I'm unaware. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:08, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

You're right - my mistake. Thanks for catching it, fixing it, and letting me know. -- Ed (Edgar181) 14:32, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Wallaceij - deleted page

Hello, I tried to start the page, Applying to Graduate School in Psychology: Advice From Successful Students and Prominent Psychologists. I understand that parts of the original page appeared to be blatent advertising. I revised the page to remove blatent advertising and increased a focus on the book as a first of its kind. I also placed an entry on the talk page defending place as a legitimate entry, which I've reproduced here:

This page represents a legitimate encyclopedia entry because it is the first book published by the American Psychological Association - the largest and most popular publisher of psychological resources - to be edited by current graduate students in psychology. This is a significant accomplishment in view of the 100's if not 1000's of books on pursuing higher education that are exclusively published by professionals. Furthermore, it is also unique to other such resources because it is predominantly authored by graduate students.

To reduce the impression that this page is an advertisement, I have removed the long block quote describing the marketable qualities of the book.

Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Applying_to_Graduate_School_in_Psychology:_Advice_From_Successful_Students_and_Prominent_Psychologists"

My intention creating this page was to document the novelty of a book about getting into graduate school in psychology that is edited by actual graduate students. It is a first of its kind, which seems like a legitimate reason for being included in an encyclopedia such as Wikipedia. If not, please explain.

Additionally, please move my deleted page to my userpage. Thank you. --Ian (talk) 19:24, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Based on the content of the article, I don't think the book meets Wikipedia's standards for inclusion as outlined at Wikipedia:Notability (books). However, I have created a copy of the article at User:Wallaceij/Applying to Graduate School in Psychology so that if you think does meet notability criteria, you can work on improving the article there. -- Ed (Edgar181) 20:00, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

After reviewing the notability criteria, I can see that the book, which is the subject of my proposed page, doesn't meet any criterion. Thanks for clarifying things. --Ian (talk) 23:45, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Hub Bike Coop Talk page

OK, the Hub Bike Coop article has now been deleted TWICE. I added a talk page to start a discussion regarding the article's problems, a discussion which you swiftly DELETED. So what is wrong with you??? Are you against healthy debate??? Do you oppose constructive negotiation??? Are you seemingly hell-bent on destroying the American ideals of the right to free speach and opinion??? Well if you are, I highly reccommend that you leave Wikipedia IMMEDIATELY, because it is people like YOU who create these one-sided non peer-reviewed articles. Frankly, that is quite the opposite of Wikipedia's goal. Next time you want to raise hell with my efforts, tell me. Let's not resort to guerilla war-tactics here, Edgar. Your's sincerely, Ldud, crusader of Wikipedian rights. ل داد 10:08, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

An article titled Hub Bike Coop has never existed. Can you tell me the name of the article you are referring to? -- Ed (Edgar181) 11:26, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Hub Bicycle Co-op, I think. BobAmnertiopsis_{ChitChat Me!} 21:23, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

OK, I see now. Thanks, Bob.

Ldud, Hub Bicycle Co-op was deleted May 24th by Orangemike (talk · contribs). A couple of weeks later, you created the talk page for the article. It's unlikely that anyone would come across "orphaned" talk pages to discuss the deletion, so these kinds of pages are routinely deleted (this is a criteria for speedy deletion, and the reason I deleted the talk page). If you want to discuss the deletion of the article, it would be best contact Orangemike and talk to him, and if that doesn't work out you can look into Wikipedia:Deletion review. Hope this helps. -- Ed (Edgar181) 01:34, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

74.194.19.176 (talk · contribs)

I was looking into this (I removed the message from AIV) and just saw you blocked this IP - I have a feeling the block is actually the fault of CanadianLinuxUser (talk · contribs) who upset an anon user by reverting their good faith edit, which was actually a correct edit, and then slapped a warning template on the anon user. Neıl 龱 15:14, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes, looking closer, it does appear that CanadianLinuxUser erred, but I wouldn't say that the block is his fault. I would say that the anon user who made the personal attacks is responsible for his own actions. I normally block for that kind of thing, but since it's not as clear-cut as it originally appeared to me, I'll unblock and warn instead. Thanks for letting me know. -- Ed (Edgar181) 15:22, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Edgar. Much appreciated. Neıl 龱 15:49, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Topotecan

Hi Ed. Can you please check the CAS number? The number 123948-87-8 is given in the article and confirmed on nlm.nih.gov, while the number in DrugBank is 119413-54-6. Is one the pure substance and the other the hydrochloride? --Leyo 12:46, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

I'll have a chance to take a look tomorrow. -- Ed (Edgar181) 15:46, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

It looks like you are right. From Chemical Abstracts: 123948-87-8 is the CAS number for topotecan free base, and 119413-54-6 is topotecan hydrochloride. -- Ed (Edgar181) 11:00, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I added the latter to the drugbox. --Leyo 16:42, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

The Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada Wikipedia page

I am the DCO (second-in-command)of the Camerons of Canada and have tried to edit the Wikipedia page on my Regiment to include better links (one of which is to the Regiment's own website). After editing the page I received a message that Wikipedia had reverted the page to how it was prior to my additions. If there is anyone who is more of a subject matter expert on the Regiment than I am, I already know them personally or would be very interested in corresponding with them. I want to make the article on the Camerons as complete and accurate as it can be. To do so I need to be able to edit it.

The article was properly deleted under guidelines at WP:Proposed deletion. However, if the deletion of articles in this process is contested, it can be automatically undeleted, so I have done so. Since the subject of the article does not appear to meet Wikipedia's notability criteria outlined at WP:BIO, I have moved the article to Articles for deletion instead.

please leave any available info on my Talk Page or just click talk down there.

Beta-Benzenehexachloride

Hi Ed, Would you think the article Beta-Benzenehexachloride reliably named? This isn't about a benzene but about a hexane. You were the first editor to do something about this article, therefore I ask, before I suggest some bold action for it. Wim van Dorst (talk) 21:10, 21 June 2008 (UTC).

Confusingly, "benzenehexachloride" is used as a common name for the isomers of hexachlorocyclohexane (as can be seen at PubChem or AlanWood.net), but now that you mention it, I think it would be a good idea to move that article to a title with a systematic name or a less confusing common name. What title would you suggest? -- Ed (Edgar181) 11:29, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Ctoads

Good morning.

Kindly give a look at the recently deleted "Ctoads" entry. This entry is relevant for a number of reasons. First, it is truly unique in the space. There is nothing like it both in design, content and function. The site is technologically unique in the world.

There are a number of functionalities on the site that are unique to it, not found anywhere else in the space. It is a "first" in many ways.

Thank you.

Steve. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sjmanning (talk • contribs) 16:54, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

I've looked at the article, but I'm sorry, it seems clear to me that it does not contain any content that suggests that Ctoads meets Wikipedia's notability requirements. Can you please specify how you think it meets any of the three criteria at Wikipedia:Notability (web)? -- Ed (Edgar181) 19:10, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Edgar.

I have made numerous lookups in Wikipedia. I confess that I am absolutely confused by your refusal to include this page among the 2.4 million entries in Wikipedia, thus far. Ctoads is absolutely unique in the world. With due humility, Its creator, Steven J. Manning, is an internationally known and respected authority in a couple industries, as well as a speaker on a wide variety of subjects. To all who read Ctoads and Steven J. Manning, this site absolutely satisfies your requirements.

Perhaps you will spend some time on the site. And contribute to it as well.

Thanks.

Acetildenafil

Hi Edgar. I don't suppose you would be able to come up with a chemical name for this compound? My drawing software unfortunately lacks a structure-to-name function, and the compound is not on the PubChem database. It's also a nice illustration of how advanced the illicit drug designers are becoming now days... Meodipt (talk) 06:29, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Done. It's an interesting compound. That's not an easy synthesis - I'm surprised it's worth the trouble to make it and secretly add it to a product, rather than just adding a marketed ED drug. -- Ed (Edgar181) 11:34, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Bravo on this, Edgar! I've rarely seen a more complex compound name. It reminds me of that place in Wales with the longest place name ever. Badagnani (talk) 05:27, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Calcium silicate

Hi, can you add a diagram to Calcium silicate? Badagnani (talk) 05:41, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Calcium silicate has a non-specific definition, and as far as I can tell is a mixture of different chemical compositions, so I don't think I diagram can be made to illustrate it. -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:22, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Hexaware

I had requested on Talk:Hexaware that it should not be deleted, instead just put one liner stating it is an important IT company in India. I know the article was very much an advertisement written by some newbie. But I didn't have the time to correct it. So requested a hangon. But unfortunately it was deleted inspite of Keep request. --gppande «talk» 07:39, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

I deleted the article because the content was blatant advertising, full of PR doublespeak. There was no {{hangon}} on the article, but even if there was, it would still be appropriate to delete such an article. If you feel that it should be replaced with a "one liner stating it is an important IT company in India," please feel free to do so. In fact, it's better to do so now, after deletion of the inappropriate content. -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:22, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Hallo Edgar181, I (Ykipbali) apologize for remove the speedy deletion tag in YKIP’s article. I get wrong perception to add a hangon tag on the page, I think I must change speedy deletion with hangon tag. It’s my first time join to Wikipedia member. My article not finished, it’s still less information. I will fix and adding more information to this article. Please don’t delete the article and block my account (ykipbali), let me finish my article first.
