Borneol - 1,7,7-Trimethyl-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ol
Isoborneol - (1R,2R,4R)-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ol
Fenchol - (1R,2R,4S)-1,3,3-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ol aka (1R,2R,4S)-1,3,3-Trimethyl-2-norbornanol
etc. There is many other important natural simple alcohols.
The result of the move request was: There's no consensus what (if any) the primary topic of "alcohol" is, so the page will be moved off primary and a dab will be placed there. ( non-admin closure) ( t · c) buidhe 02:54, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
– I think the average reader is going to be looking for Alcohol (drug) or alcoholic drink rather than the chemistry definition. Ivar the Boneful ( talk) 03:15, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
much more likely than any other single topicto be the prime reference for ' alcohol'. I therefore support OP's proposal, which actually is the correct solution for when there is no PTOPIC. If there is a PTOPIC though, it is definitely alcohol (chemistry), which means that nothing should be changed. ☿ Apaugasma ( talk ☉) 15:32, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
much more likelythan the other topics to such an extent as to be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. In such cases (when there is no primary topic), the best thing to do is to make alcohol direct to a disambiguation page (currently alcohol (disambiguation)) which lists the various articles related to 'alcohol'. If you think, like Zxcvbnm below, that people are by far most likely looking for the class of chemical compounds and that this is the primary topic, nothing needs to be changed and you should !vote oppose.

You can probably remove semi-protection from this page, now that it's no longer the redirect when you search for "Alcohol". MichaelBijanAfghani ( talk) 03:43, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
Would you mind if I've changed 2 words (catalyse) from UK English to their US English version added the "Use American English" template, in this edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Alcohol_%28chemistry%29&diff=1193270702&oldid=1185209041
I'm not a fond of a particular English variant. If you would like to use British English, I'm OK with that, just change the template and change all the words which differ between the US and the UK English. However, I found out that the article uses mostly US words, so it was easier to change UK to US by replacing just two words.
Anyway, we should have a consistent English version usage, we should not intermix US and UK. Maxim Masiutin ( talk) 23:25, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
