Secondary and tertiary

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Just a suggestion that Wikipedia really prefers citations to reviews and books. That preference is described in WP:SECONDARY and WP:TERTIARY. In the case of the diazonium to fluoride rxn, here are representative reviews that might replace some specialized literature:

• Mo, F.; Qiu, D.; Zhang, Y.; Wang, J., Renaissance of Sandmeyer-Type Reactions: Conversion of Aromatic C-N Bonds into C-X Bonds (X = B, Sn, P, or CF3). Acc. Chem. Res. 2018, 51, 496-506. doi 10.1021/acs.accounts.7b00566
• Preshlock, S.; Tredwell, M.; Gouverneur, V., 18F-Labeling of Arenes and Heteroarenes for Applications in Positron Emission Tomography. Chem. Rev. 2016, 116, 719-766. doi 10.1021/acs.chemrev.5b00493
• Cresswell, A. J.; Davies, S. G.; Roberts, P. M.; Thomson, J. E., Beyond the Balz-Schiemann Reaction: The Utility of Tetrafluoroborates and Boron Trifluoride as Nucleophilic Fluoride Sources. Chem. Rev. 2015, 115, 566-611. doi 10.1021/cr5001805

Thanks for the heads up. Chemboyz (talk) 18:19, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Would it be better to not include more specialized information then (ie different counterions used)? I'd rather not look through reviews trying to find ones that cite these more specialized articles.

You are more knowledgable than most on this area, so use your judgement. The main thing is that you enhanced an article.

Every editor has slightly different and often evolving philosophy on what Wikipedia should be. To me, Wikipedia articles should present the big picture but hopefully with key details, perhaps of the type you added. On the other hand, some editors only add details, because they dont appreciate the vastness of the literature and the risks that the "big picture" can be drowned out with minutia.

Alright, thanks for the advice. Chemboyz (talk) 19:21, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

How to do art

Some tips on contributing art to Wiki-chem. OMIT words (and abbreviations), so that the artwork can be used in other language Wikipedia articles. English is for only a fraction of the readership and artwork moves around. BTW, "eq" is an English abbreviation for equation, not equiv. Check ACS Style guide. --Smokefoot (talk) 20:20, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
