Hi. The Mo metathesis catalyst looks like it has two carbene ligands in this reaction scheme. I think that there is a nitrogen atom label missing to make the upper ligand an arylimido group. Mert0014 (talk) 10:32, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks, I going to check it out. V8rik (talk) 17:30, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
- I have checked the original article and changed the image accordingly. Thanks for spotting the error V8rik (talk) 17:28, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
Tamoxifen
[edit]Hello, your image of the tamoxifen synthesis on the Grignard page is slightly wrong: It's missing an oxygen, it's a phenolic ethyl amine not a phenyl ethyl amine.
- Thanks, good call. I have replaced the image with a new one. V8rik (talk) 20:28, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
3PN
[edit]Hi, your scheme of the reaction in the hydrocyanation of butadiene to adipodinitrile has a small mistake. The molecule denominated as "3PN" is actually 4PN (4-pentenenitrile). 3PN isomerizes in the reactor to 4PN before beeing hydrocyanated.

DOPA catalyst
[edit]Hi, can you confirm that this is right? It looks right to me, but I'm on vacation and can't check the literature. Cheers, Walkerma (talk) 23:19, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Heya V8rik
Thanks for your image. A few years on, standards have changed. I've recently drawn a replacement. Do you want to keep your original? Would you have any objections/comments about me speedying it? --Rifleman 82 (talk) 18:25, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
Image:Copolymers.png
[edit]Hi V8rik. I uploaded the image Image:Copolymers.png to Commons for use at swedish wikipedia, the article sv:Sampolymerer. I hope you don't mind. You can see the image page at commons:Image:Copolymers.png. If there are any problems, please give me a note at my swedish talk page, I'm afraid I don't check my account here often enough.

Speedy deletion of Image:QuinineStorkSynthMiddle.png
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
A tag has been placed on Image:QuinineStorkSynthMiddle.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is a redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:QuinineStorkSynthMiddle.png|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. JaGatalk 04:22, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi V8rik, you have added a reference for the all-trans 13-cis isomerization pathway in type I or bacterial rhodopsin.

Proposed deletion of Morphology (materials science)
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/74/Ambox_warning_yellow.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_yellow.svg.png)
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Morphology (materials science), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process.
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Hersfold (t/a/c) 05:20, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
- Unacceptable, you cannot state: improve or expand this article or else I will delete it. Wikipedia is not a forced-labor camp. Take it or leave it. Google count 526,000 for "materials science" && morphology . Materials science and nanotech are all about morphology. V8rik (talk) 20:37, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
File source problem with File:RadicalPolymerization.png
[edit]![File Copyright problem](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/64px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading File:RadicalPolymerization.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 21:20, 15 January 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sasikiran (talk) 21:20, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

N is for nitrogen
[edit]Hi. Again for the image of free radical polymerization of ethylene, could you change N to n both on the left of the image and in the title. The problem is that N looks like a free-floating nitrogen, whereas the degree of polymerization is usually n. Dirac66 (talk) 01:20, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Minor edits
[edit]per Help: Minor edit: "A check to the minor edit box signifies that only superficial differences exist between the current and previous version: type corrections, formatting and presentational changes, rearranging of text without modifying content, et cetera. A minor edit is a version that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute."
I would argue that the removal of several sentences in the Chemical reaction article is not a minor edit. Content was removed. Now, I have no dispute with the change, just in labeling it minor.
By the way, should the paragraph that you altered be bulleted? Ronstew (talk) 05:55, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reminder, I should pay more attention with regard to minor edits / major edits. I do not see your point on bulletizing. It facilitates reading a text. An alternative would be converting the section to a table. V8rik (talk) 20:16, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
- My point is that the rest of the section (except the introductory paragraph) was bulleted, but not the last paragraph. I thought you might have forgotten. Or should it stand alone? Ronstew (talk) 20:54, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
- it should stand alone, not part of the list. V8rik (talk) 21:03, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

The factual accuracy of the chemical structure Image:Mannich-1.png is disputed
[edit]Dispute notification | The chemical structure Image:Mannich-1.png you uploaded has been tagged as disputed and is now listed in Category:Disputed chemical diagrams/expired. Images in this category are deleted after one month if there is no upload of a corrected version and if there is no objection from the uploader or other users. Please discuss on the image talk page if you feel that the dispute is inappropriate. If you agree with the dispute, you can either upload a corrected version or simply allow the image to be deleted.
In all cases, please do not take the dispute personally. It is never intended as such. Thank you! --Leyo 09:27, 21 March 2009 (UTC) |
- this image is not mine. Perhaps the image I have originally used in Mannich base has been replaced by one from commons and then the original was deleted. The dispute by the way really concerns a detail , an arrow pointing the wrong way. This commons policy of having an image removed when the dispute is not handled within one month is disturbing. You cannot bully people into collaborating with wikipedia: correct the work now or suffer the consequences. Our focus should be on expanding wikipedia and not deletions V8rik (talk) 16:56, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
- I just wanted to inform you. I am not talking about this, but about this dispute. --Leyo 14:50, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
- That does not change my position: better request someone to make a change to an image rather than setting an ultimatum. V8rik (talk) 23:08, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
- OK, I request you to make the change to the image. ;-) --Leyo 10:11, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
- Now this makes sense. I have replaced the two disputed images on Mannich base with a single new one and I have also updated the article in general. This should solve the issue V8rik (talk) 19:48, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks. Could you please upload the image on Commons as the disputed one is also used in mk:Манихова база? At the same time, you may want to correct the spelling of “formation” in the file name. --Leyo 20:48, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
- I am still not happy with the reaction mechanism at the new File:MannichBase forrmation base catalysed.svg because OH− is not a good leaving group and a C− seems to attack without a reason. en:Mannich reaction#Reaction mechanism shows it the way I learned it recently.

- Several comments:
- this issue should be handled on the Talk page of the article in question, no need to address it on my Talk page.
- remember that images of reaction mechanisms are cartoons and the level of detail will always vary
- the image depicted is the less common base catalyzed Mannich , most people would be familiar with the acid catalyzed version only.
- The image very closely resembles Jerry March, see reference one in the article.
V8rik (talk) 21:02, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit]You probably saw that I am re-organizing organophosphorus, which you championed. I hope that my work is okay to your eyes. I spun off phosphaalkene onto its own, and incorporated a bit of the remains into phosphine subsection, which is a stretch. In any case, if you still have the file, please tweak the left carbon substituent on Poly(p-phenylenephosphaalkene).png. If you could lay out the reaction linearly, it would fit better on a page, vs the two-line format. Best wishes, --Smokefoot (talk) 16:13, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Double bond table
[edit]Your double bond table is intriguing, so forgive my uninvited comments: It is striking just how small carbon is, such that CH2O rapidly oligomerizes. Only with the "bulky" CH3 ligand that the C=O becomes stable. Similar, C2H4 is only kinetically stabilized wrt to the polymer. Oxidation state is important in the categories, e.g. P=C for P(V) as in Wittig and P(III) as in phosphalkene, S=O/NR in S(IV) and S(VI) states. I think that RP=O and RPO2 have been studied, or at least trapped. Many chemists (e.g., me) only like to think about chem near room temp and ignore species such as SiO and possibly SO that our high T friends think are important. In principle, your table could take a third dimension: with single, double, triple bond orders being the third dimension. Good luck with your project.--Smokefoot (talk) 00:33, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for your comments, the table needs a lot of work and I am not even sure if I will place it in an article somewhere. Complicated stuff V8rik (talk) 16:51, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
- I really like your Double bond rule article. It highlights the many existing articles on doubly-bonded compounds, which often have obscure names.
- I've been making a few images in response to the new molecules your table has introduced me to, e.g. Commons:Category:Boraphosphabenzenes and Commons:Category:Phosphaalkynes.

Remove disclaimers
[edit]Hallo V8rik,
it is really amazing how many great images you contributed. I don't know if you are aware of how many of these images have already been tranferred to commons and are used on other wikipedias. I would therefore like to ask you if you are willing to remove the disclaimers from these images like this File:CubaneSynthesis.png. If so I would do this for you, you just have to write here that you agree to remove the disclaimers from your images. Also I found some images here that carry disclaimers and there it would be nice if you could remove the disclaimer:
- File:Grobfragmentation_example.png
- File:ArylleadCaryllation.png
- File:Phosphoniumylide_rearrangement.png

Well, that's great. I was told, it would be better if you removed the disclaimer. All you have to do is edit the page of the file and remove the "-with-disclaimers" ({{GFDL-self-with-disclaimers}} to {{GFDL-self}}). Cheers --Cwbm (commons) (talk) 06:48, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Single point energy
[edit]Single point energy has nothing to do with Walsh diagram#Generating Walsh Diagrams. It is the jargon used in computational chemistry to indicate just calculating the energy at a fixed geometry rather than optimising the geometry. I am not sure, however, what it should be redirected to. --Bduke (Discussion) 22:58, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
- I have made a new redirect to Potential energy surface. Would that work for you? V8rik (talk) 19:34, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
- It is probably best for now, but I have problems with your edit to Potential energy surface. First, it is a direct copy of the link you provide so maybe there are copyright issues. Second it is misleading. The single point energy is the total energy (potential electronic energy, kinetic electronic energy and nuclear repulsion energy) of a molecule. The single points provide the potential energy surface which is the potential energy for nuclear motion. I will see if I can find a better reference. --Bduke (Discussion) 23:00, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
- Added quotation marks. many of the other .edu links I have checked provide a similar definition V8rik (talk) 20:15, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
