I noticed a botched category code at top of Panitumumab (and others). Think it might be due to something in Template:Infobox drug but don't have time to track down. Seems you edited recently. Could you have a look? Thanks. -- R. S. Shaw ( talk) 17:50, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
Hello DePiep,
I just noticed that, a year ago, you
removed the contents of “
Template:@u/testcases” because of a reported case of “…(duplicate parameterssed). via CAT:DUPARG”.
CAT:DUPARG itself says that ”when checking Preview, any double parameter (and its template) will be listed in top as an error.”, which is great, so I was hoping that I could use that to find the source of the error and fix it. However, when I tried it, no error was reported. Just to double-check and see what the message should look like, I then intentionally added such a duplicate parameter and the error message was produced as expected. So that leaves me without a clue about the original problem and I was wondering if you could give me some hint about where I should look. Thanks! (I’ll watch for answers here.)

A tag has been placed on Template:Cite doi/10.1103.2FPhysRevC.74.044602 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion because it is an unused duplicate of another template, or a hard-coded instance of another template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.
If the template is not actually the same as the other template noted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page explaining how this one is different so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{substituted}}</noinclude>).
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page's talk page, where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Hi DePiep. If it's not too much to ask, would you mind replacing all drugbox instances of
| chirality = 1 : 1 mixture (racemate)
with
| chirality = [[Racemic mixture]]
The current wording is clearly redundant and a wikilink would be useful (and "1 : 1 mixture" is potentially ambiguous as well). Based on your recent edits, it seems like something you might be able to do more easily via AWB script than what I could do manually. Thank you. -- Ed ( Edgar181) 21:02, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello. I attempted to add Triple point to your list of properties at Template:Chembox Properties/doc/parameter list. However when I then attempted to add the triple point to the infobox for Carbon dioxide, the line did not appear in the infobox so I must have done something wrong. Since you created this Template and presumably understand it better than me, could you please fix my Template addition if necessary and then add T = −56.6 °C and p = 5.1 atm to the infobox for CO2? These values are now shown as the melting point but that is not really correct because the transition occurs at 5.1 atm and not at 1 atm. Dirac66 ( talk) 18:22, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Per
WP:Template editor, you need to obtain consensus before you make potentially controversial changes to a template. You made a unilateral decision to change a long standing link in an infobox without waiting to see if there was consensus for this change. I objected to this change hence you have an obligation to seek wider consensus. Per
wheel warring, With very few exceptions, once an administrative action has been reverted, it should not be restored without consensus.
I reverted your removal of the ASHP link and you restored it. This is wheel warring.

Regarding your comments at WP:ANEW: The page title is "Administrators' Noticeboard/Edit warring". I'm not sure exactly what lesson you want me to learn from that title.
What I do know is that says this in bold and italic print near the top of the page: "This page is for reporting active edit warriors and recent violations of restrictions like the three-revert rule." The reason the violation has to be recent is because there is only one remedy for violating 3RR or 1RR: stop the person who broke the rule from continuing to disrupt. This is done by protecting the page, blocking one or more editors, or (in certain topic areas like this one) issuing a page or topic ban (which is enforced by, guess what, blocking a user). If they've already stopped being disruptive, you don't need an administrator to intervene.
There is only a very small list of things you need an administrator for: to protect a page, delete a page, block someone, edit a protected page, or close a contentious discussion. Almost everything else, like gaining consensus to revert that template, is something you can do yourself by using the appropriate venue. 1RR is not a free pass to have the page reverted when someone breaks the rule. Either you use your own revert for the day to put it back, or you gain a consensus with other editors that the page is better with the edit reverted and someone else does it. Whichever you choose, you don't need an admin to do it. – Darkwind ( talk) 09:22, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

A few quick questions, Can I recommend a page for partial protection? the acid-base titration page is exactly what the average reader is looking for.

In the future if I wrote a page on the calculations of concentration from a pH titration would you be able to review it? I also want to publish a page on calculating the dipole moment of molecules using the dielectric constant and refractive index (clearly an advanced topic).

According to WP:INFOBOXPURPOSE, the purpose of of an infobox is to summarize, rather than repeat - and there's a certain difference. In the case of House of Romanov, we have three infoboxes in the article. The one at the top has quite a few details that are for all intents and purposes copied from the boxes below - and the box itself has done a very poor job at summarizing the article, not to mention being rather unsightly and containing details that are hardly key features of the subject.
The box at the top originally refers to the House of Holstein-Gottorp-Romanov - but one editor moved the box to the corresponding section of the article. At some point later someone put a new box at the top without referring to the one below. Now we have a funny situation where the parent house of the House of Romanov is...the House of Romanov, and one cadet branch of the House of Romanov is...also the House of Romanov. In addition, the fact that its current head is disputed since 1992 is repeated in the box at the top and the box at the House of Holstein-Gottorp-Romanov section. Its dissolution during the Russian Revolution is also repeated - and so are the cadet branches of the house. Essentially, what we have here is an infobox that is the sum of two others in the same article (though mostly a poor copy of one of them) - which is not something I've seen often on Wikipedia. And one more thing - the exact style of the head of the House of Romanov is in no way a key fact of the article.
I believe this is a case where an infobox at the top should not be necessary. The two boxes below have already done a decent job at summarizing the history of the house. Morningstar1814 ( talk) 17:38, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

The box at the top originally refers to the House of Holstein-Gottorp-Romanov - but one editor moved the box to the corresponding section of the article. At some point later someone put a new box at the top without referring to the one below. Now we have a funny situation where the parent house of the House of Romanov is...the House of Romanov, and one cadet branch of the House of Romanov is...also the House of Romanov. In addition, the fact that its current head is disputed since 1992 is repeated in the box at the top and the box at the House of Holstein-Gottorp-Romanov section. Its dissolution during the Russian Revolution is also repeated - and so are the cadet branches of the house. Essentially, what we have here is an infobox that is the sum of two others in the same article (though mostly a poor copy of one of them) - which is not something I've seen often on Wikipedia. And one more thing - the exact style of the head of the House of Romanov is in no way a key fact of the article.
I believe this is a case where an infobox at the top should not be necessary. The two boxes below have already done a decent job at summarizing the history of the house. Morningstar1814 ( talk) 17:38, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

The half life of oganesson-294 is variously listed as 0.7 ms and 7 ms in both the article on oganesson and the isotopes of oganesson article.
However, the source paper from 2006 states 0.89 ms is the half-life.
Which value is it? Is there a new source for the half-life of this isotope that is something different than 0.89 ms? And if so, is it 7 ms or 0.7 ms? It makes an order of magnitude of difference.

A second source for this line repeats 2' 7", but it may simply be parroting Goodall without attribution. Nevertheless this later author is reputable and his work was published. I am writing

I've taken the mention of Trackgauge 2ft 7in out of the Dyserth branch line infobox at least temporarily because I haven't introduced it to the article yet and haven't decided how best to include the ng lines, they were quarry feeder lines, so not part of the branch as such.

You realize you simply reverted what was a moved space, as well as a minor color change in the template? There was no change in functionality whatsoever.

Hello DePiep,
I just noticed that, a year ago, you
removed the contents of “
Template:@u/testcases” because of a reported case of “…(duplicate parameterssed). via CAT:DUPARG”.
CAT:DUPARG itself says that ”when checking Preview, any double parameter (and its template) will be listed in top as an error.”, which is great, so I was hoping that I could use that to find the source of the error and fix it. However, when I tried it, no error was reported. Just to double-check and see what the message should look like, I then intentionally added such a duplicate parameter and the error message was produced as expected. So that leaves me without a clue about the original problem and I was wondering if you could give me some hint about where I should look. Thanks! (I’ll watch for answers here.)

Per
WP:Template editor, you need to obtain consensus before you make potentially controversial changes to a template. You made a unilateral decision to change a long standing link in an infobox without waiting to see if there was consensus for this change. I objected to this change hence you have an obligation to seek wider consensus. Per
wheel warring, With very few exceptions, once an administrative action has been reverted, it should not be restored without consensus.
I reverted your removal of the ASHP link and you restored it. This is wheel warring.

Regarding your comments at WP:ANEW: The page title is "Administrators' Noticeboard/Edit warring". I'm not sure exactly what lesson you want me to learn from that title.
What I do know is that says this in bold and italic print near the top of the page: "This page is for reporting active edit warriors and recent violations of restrictions like the three-revert rule." The reason the violation has to be recent is because there is only one remedy for violating 3RR or 1RR: stop the person who broke the rule from continuing to disrupt. This is done by protecting the page, blocking one or more editors, or (in certain topic areas like this one) issuing a page or topic ban (which is enforced by, guess what, blocking a user). If they've already stopped being disruptive, you don't need an administrator to intervene.
There is only a very small list of things you need an administrator for: to protect a page, delete a page, block someone, edit a protected page, or close a contentious discussion. Almost everything else, like gaining consensus to revert that template, is something you can do yourself by using the appropriate venue. 1RR is not a free pass to have the page reverted when someone breaks the rule. Either you use your own revert for the day to put it back, or you gain a consensus with other editors that the page is better with the edit reverted and someone else does it. Whichever you choose, you don't need an admin to do it. – Darkwind ( talk) 09:22, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

Re your "how many data can the infobox have?", it occurs to me that it might be useful to split the element infobox into one main box that goes at the top of the lede, and other(s) that could go at the top of the appropriate section(s).

A few quick questions, Can I recommend a page for partial protection? the acid-base titration page is exactly what the average reader is looking for. It has really nice graphics and it would be a shame if someone changed it. I still want editors to be able to link more complex pH ideas and calculations to the page though.
In the future if I wrote a page on the calculations of concentration from a pH titration would you be able to review it? I also want to publish a page on calculating the dipole moment of molecules using the dielectric constant and refractive index (clearly an advanced topic). I'm not sure if your familiar with physical chemistry ideas or not but I would appreciate your help and input.

A while ago I excised all the uncited data about predicted decays when it became clear that they were not actually supported by anything other than calculation of positive energy release.

According to WP:INFOBOXPURPOSE, the purpose of of an infobox is to summarize, rather than repeat - and there's a certain difference. In the case of House of Romanov, we have three infoboxes in the article. The one at the top has quite a few details that are for all intents and purposes copied from the boxes below - and the box itself has done a very poor job at summarizing the article, not to mention being rather unsightly and containing details that are hardly key features of the subject.
The box at the top originally refers to the House of Holstein-Gottorp-Romanov - but one editor moved the box to the corresponding section of the article. At some point later someone put a new box at the top without referring to the one below. Now we have a funny situation where the parent house of the House of Romanov is...the House of Romanov, and one cadet branch of the House of Romanov is...also the House of Romanov. In addition, the fact that its current head is disputed since 1992 is repeated in the box at the top and the box at the House of Holstein-Gottorp-Romanov section. Its dissolution during the Russian Revolution is also repeated - and so are the cadet branches of the house. Essentially, what we have here is an infobox that is the sum of two others in the same article (though mostly a poor copy of one of them) - which is not something I've seen often on Wikipedia. And one more thing - the exact style of the head of the House of Romanov is in no way a key fact of the article.
I believe this is a case where an infobox at the top should not be necessary. The two boxes below have already done a decent job at summarizing the history of the house. Morningstar1814 ( talk) 17:38, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

The half life of oganesson-294 is variously listed as 0.7 ms and 7 ms in both the article on oganesson and the isotopes of oganesson article.
However, the source paper from 2006 states 0.89 ms is the half-life.
Which value is it? Is there a new source for the half-life of this isotope that is something different than 0.89 ms? And if so, is it 7 ms or 0.7 ms? It makes an order of magnitude of difference.

A second source for this line repeats 2' 7", but it may simply be parroting Goodall without attribution. Nevertheless this later author is reputable and his work was published. I am writing
