Beautiful new image, but at 250px width it doesn't scale too well - some lines are blurred or aliassed. I have changed it to 333 (which is 1/4 its width) but you may want to consider uploading a version that doesn't have this problem. JFW | T@lk 13:28, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Ed, thanks for the kind words, and for the diversion of the moment. Yes, indeed, my current worklist still contains 1896 compounds (it is a nice job while slowly adding your electrophile to your solution with the nucleophile ..), and I think I still have missed quite some in setting up my list. Hopefully many of them are redirects. What I do see are many dead-end pages, pages missing chembox-es, pages which are a complete mess .. bit worrying. But well, not in this task.
Bulleting is not hard .. I could just put a bullet in front of the line in the template. I have made a choice in putting an extra empty line before this sentence on every page I put the template (separating it from the links before, makes it stand out a bit), I don't know what effect it has in the pages, and how it will look. But feel free to try, I'll be busy with this (only halfway the addition of my electrophile .. ). By the way, when the ChemicalSources page is running as proposed (i.e. like the Special:Booksources page), the template might be removed from the pages (though .. maybe not). But well, that is a problem for then. See you around. -- Dirk Beetstra T C 15:05, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi Edgar,
Just wanted to say well done for adopting the {{ cite science}} template on antioxidant - I had that on my todo list as well. It's great that someone else thinks the template is useful.

Hi Ed - sorry for stepping on your toes. I didn't really mean to replace your allene image, just the ones with blue hydrogens really (Chem3D standard colours are strange!), and to provide hi-res images in case anyone wants a cover image for a project or something. I'm just a bit tired, so I'm not concentrating properly! I think your images are great and I think you should definitely continue producing them - you've done quite a few, such as in calixarene, that are of compounds I don't have much experience of, so I'd much prefer to have you making images as well as just me.
Let me know again if I overwrite anything of yours you don't want me to. I'm on a bit of a mission tonight to clear my desktop of all the structures I've been making.
Sorry again for any upset.

I think you were quite lenient on the mischief maker of the Organic Chemistry pages with just a short, temporary block. Even this seem not to have worked, or perhaps not yet, as the mischievous statement was reinstated at 14.46 (removed again by Beetstra) Is WIKI powerless against such people ?

Hi Edgar, I have been reverting links that Aardtek is adding, I saw you did the same. I posted an explanation on Aardtek's page, but there seems to be something strange with the history there, as if things have been blanked (see also user talk:Aardtek1). Could you have a look. Cheers. -- Dirk Beetstra T C 11:16, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
It's cool if you don't think that was a legit move--but tell me, what are the conventions for page-naming chemicals within the Wikipedia? Every other article I've read has had the informal names, so when I saw the isovaleric acid (sorry: 3-methylbutanoic acid) page, it was like hot needles stabbing through my eyeballs.
Just wondering, because if there's a convention, you guys ought to go through every page and make sure they follow it, rather than chipping away at other people's efforts arbitrarily.

I know that your Biochemist but you I thought you might be able to help.
I recently created an article in Biochemistry, Bacterial protein, but I'm not an expert in Biochemistry. I just thought I might be able to research enough to start it and have experts add to later. What I'm not sure about is my list examples of Bacterial protein. So can you look at it and check to make sure I'm correct about the info. in the article.-- Scott3 19:47, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi Edgar. I noticed I inadvertently replaced a number of organic chemistry line structures that you had uploaded, forcing you to revert a number of changes.

Hi Edgar! I have just put a remark on the Bluebot talk-page (and I guess that stopped it from working, no edits since 21:52), since it is making some mistakes in de-stubbing some compound-pages which are in fact still stubs. I saw you reverted (at least) one earlier today, I have reverted another 3 or 4. I thought I'd let you know. -- Dirk Beetstra T C 21:04, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
In the article for Trinitrotoluene, I removed the entry for Thickness from the data table, thinking it was a spurious and mistaken duplication of Density -- same units, same value to the precision given.

Hi Ed, I just finished the find/replace script in AWB, I have run some test-runs now .. Is this about what it should do (there will always be errors, everything has to be checked by hand, but I have not touched these 5 now, is all automatic):
What do you think?
The only thing I really would like to catch now, are some old tables on some pages (see if these can be automatically changed into a new chembox or something similar, see e.g. 1,1,1-Trichloroethane, in Opera the header-lines go through the chembox on the page), after that I may start a run again (is going to be a lot, almost 3000 compounds). Any other things to do are welcome, of course. See you around! -- Dirk Beetstra T C 21:33, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi Ed, you have any idea how to resolve the current edit-war on aluminium. User:Pfahlstrom resists on having a {{ reference needed}}, while some other editors think that the issue is clear enough (I would not even know where to find a reference). -- Dirk Beetstra T C 14:02, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

You recently deleted Keyra Augustina with justification "CSD A7", non-notability. The page, though once deleted, was undeleted in January due to new notability.

Hi, actually the street is totally NN in my opinion, there are possibly hundreds that share the name in Bulgaria, and it's not special in any way. The medieval dynasty, of which Ivan Shishman is only one representative, is supposed to occupy the Shishman name, and since there's still no article about it, then the name's should be left free. That's why I nominated the redirect for speedy deletion.
As for Shishman Street (which isn't even paved LOL :), it should be nominated for deletion as absolutely non-notable. Regards, Todor → Bozhinov 19:49, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
I see you put an end to the problems from User:Hanseh, and for that I'm grateful. Here he managed to turn a very straightforward AfD into an unholy mess. I take consolation in knowing he wasted more time on it than I did. Anyway, so far, we've voted 10-1 to delete his nonsense article (with him being the 1), with many leaning toward protecting the page from re-creation. My Alt Account 15:13, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the thanks, and for being understanding about the errors. I'd "previewed" the categories that were going to be restubbed before running the bot on each, and they seemed OK, but my own ignorance about chemistry doubtless comes into play. Looks like the main culprits were a number of Category:Alkenes that I had restubbed as as hydrocarbons, and Category:Fatty acids as ester-stubs. Are the permcats accurate in the first instance? I thought that alkenes were by definition hydrocarbons: is this category being applied to non-HCs with alkene bonds? Likewise, fatty acids are categorised as lipids, which are in turns esters... is there a "Chinese whispers" effect at work in the category system, as is often the case?

Hi, Edgar!
Checking my watchlist I noticed that someone had vandalized my user page, but you reverted it. I just wanted to tell you thanks for removing the spam from that vandal IP. Have a nice day! -- Esteban F. (contribs) 22:29, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for reverting the changes made by Liamsparents! I really appreciate your help! Another page that often gets vandalised is the Hugh Jackman page. You should take a look at the history, because it often gets vandalized by IPs. There have been vandalism about his death and pornography "trivia" added in by the IPs and it's getting quite annoying, all the other users can do is revert and keep on reverting. Anyways, thank you again for noticing the vandalism on the Osamu Adachi page!

Hi Edgar, The parabens page seems to be more like a battleground with too many people denying the science behind some of the comments. I am fed up of someone who keeps putting in the trade names Nipagin and Nipasol (I used to work for Nipa, but it's not me doing it!) - and they are wrong anyway as it should be Nipagin M and Nipasol M. Keep up the good work in monitoring the page. Dene45
Sorry, I thought it was someone trying to be commercial! Hopefully, people will leave the page alone until there is new (and accurate) information to add. Thanks for your supporting comments on my previous changes - the precautionary principle was extremely annoying! Dene45
Hello.
You're clearly a responsible and thorough contributor to Wikipedia, but on this occasion I must question the wisdom of a deletion you've made:
[ [4]]
I assume the implication was that the page was self-promotion. As I recall, this was not the case. Justin Edwards is becoming a fairly important contributor to British radio and TV comedy, so it's odd that he no longer has a presence on Wikipedia, simply because you considered another Justin Edwards more worthy of inclusion. Would disambiguation have been a better option? Any help you can offer in re-instating this page would be gratefully recieved.

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert a single page more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you. Glen 20:40, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

I think your images are great and I think you should definitely continue producing them - you've done quite a few, such as in calixarene, that are of compounds I don't have much experience of, so I'd much prefer to have you making images as well as just me.
Let me know again if I overwrite anything of yours you don't want me to. I'm on a bit of a mission tonight to clear my desktop of all the structures I've been making.
Sorry again for any upset.

Tank you for deleting that redicolous brief question page. See you around — M in un Spiderman • Review Me 12:45, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Nice idea. -- Dweller 12:49, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
I think you were quite lenient on the mischief maker of the Organic Chemistry pages with just a short, temporary block. Even this seem not to have worked, or perhaps not yet, as the mischievous statement was reinstated at 14.46 (removed again by Beetstra) Is WIKI powerless against such people ?

Hi Edgar, I have been reverting links that Aardtek is adding, I saw you did the same. I posted an explanation on Aardtek's page, but there seems to be something strange with the history there, as if things have been blanked (see also user talk:Aardtek1). Could you have a look. Cheers. -- Dirk Beetstra T C 11:16, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
It's cool if you don't think that was a legit move--but tell me, what are the conventions for page-naming chemicals within the Wikipedia? Every other article I've read has had the informal names, so when I saw the isovaleric acid (sorry: 3-methylbutanoic acid) page, it was like hot needles stabbing through my eyeballs.
Just wondering, because if there's a convention, you guys ought to go through every page and make sure they follow it, rather than chipping away at other people's efforts arbitrarily.

I know that your Biochemist but you I thought you might be able to help.
I recently created an article in Biochemistry, Bacterial protein, but I'm not an expert in Biochemistry. I just thought I might be able to research enough to start it and have experts add to later. What I'm not sure about is my list examples of Bacterial protein. So can you look at it and check to make sure I'm correct about the info. in the article.-- Scott3 19:47, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi Edgar. I noticed I inadvertently replaced a number of organic chemistry line structures that you had uploaded, forcing you to revert a number of changes. I just wanted to thank you for leaving the constructive changes I made intact and also to formally apologize for the inconvenience caused to you. Bryn C ( t/ c) 02:58, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi Edgar! I have just put a remark on the Bluebot talk-page (and I guess that stopped it from working, no edits since 21:52), since it is making some mistakes in de-stubbing some compound-pages which are in fact still stubs. I saw you reverted (at least) one earlier today, I have reverted another 3 or 4. I thought I'd let you know. -- Dirk Beetstra T C 21:04, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
In the article for Trinitrotoluene, I removed the entry for Thickness from the data table, thinking it was a spurious and mistaken duplication of Density -- same units, same value to the precision given. You restored it. So, what in the world is thickness, in chemistry? Grouchy Chris 14:07, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
I usually avoid needless talk and assume an implied "thank you" literally goes without saying. But thanks for cleaning my toilet anyway. =) Femto 11:13, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi Ed, I just finished the find/replace script in AWB, I have run some test-runs now .. Is this about what it should do (there will always be errors, everything has to be checked by hand, but I have not touched these 5 now, is all automatic):
What do you think?
The only thing I really would like to catch now, are some old tables on some pages (see if these can be automatically changed into a new chembox or something similar, see e.g. 1,1,1-Trichloroethane, in Opera the header-lines go through the chembox on the page), after that I may start a run again (is going to be a lot, almost 3000 compounds). Any other things to do are welcome, of course. See you around! -- Dirk Beetstra T C 21:33, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi Ed, you have any idea how to resolve the current edit-war on aluminium. User:Pfahlstrom resists on having a {{ reference needed}}, while some other editors think that the issue is clear enough (I would not even know where to find a reference). -- Dirk Beetstra T C 14:02, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Would you mind grabbing the content of Eyes For Windows (Angela's Eyes), which you deleted, and sticking it in my sandbox User:Thatcher131/Sandbox1, or adding it to the episode summary table at Angela's Eyes? Thanks. Thatcher131 (talk) 17:48, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
You recently deleted Keyra Augustina with justification "CSD A7", non-notability. The page, though once deleted, was undeleted in January due to new notability. The consensus was unanimous then, and there has been no change since then. Please reconsider or undo your deletion. Tesseran 08:13, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi
Thanks for catching my error about the number of structural isomers! Dumb rookie mistake... -- Rifleman 82 17:39, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
You recently deleted the recreated article Ed Masi, which was originally deleted after a discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ed Masi. Please salt Ed Masi. -- TruthbringerToronto ( Talk | contribs) 20:50, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi, actually the street is totally NN in my opinion, there are possibly hundreds that share the name in Bulgaria, and it's not special in any way. The medieval dynasty, of which Ivan Shishman is only one representative, is supposed to occupy the Shishman name, and since there's still no article about it, then the name's should be left free. That's why I nominated the redirect for speedy deletion.
As for Shishman Street (which isn't even paved LOL :), it should be nominated for deletion as absolutely non-notable. Regards, Todor → Bozhinov 19:49, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
I see you put an end to the problems from User:Hanseh, and for that I'm grateful. Here he managed to turn a very straightforward AfD into an unholy mess. I take consolation in knowing he wasted more time on it than I did. Anyway, so far, we've voted 10-1 to delete his nonsense article (with him being the 1), with many leaning toward protecting the page from re-creation. My Alt Account 15:13, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the thanks, and for being understanding about the errors. I'd "previewed" the categories that were going to be restubbed before running the bot on each, and they seemed OK, but my own ignorance about chemistry doubtless comes into play. Looks like the main culprits were a number of Category:Alkenes that I had restubbed as as hydrocarbons, and Category:Fatty acids as ester-stubs. Are the permcats accurate in the first instance? I thought that alkenes were by definition hydrocarbons: is this category being applied to non-HCs with alkene bonds? Likewise, fatty acids are categorised as lipids, which are in turns esters... is there a "Chinese whispers" effect at work in the category system, as is often the case?

Hi, Edgar!
Checking my watchlist I noticed that someone had vandalized my user page, but you reverted it. I just wanted to tell you thanks for removing the spam from that vandal IP. Have a nice day! -- Esteban F. (contribs) 22:29, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for reverting the changes made by Liamsparents! I really appreciate your help! Another page that often gets vandalised is the Hugh Jackman page. You should take a look at the history, because it often gets vandalized by IPs. There have been vandalism about his death and pornography "trivia" added in by the IPs and it's getting quite annoying, all the other users can do is revert and keep on reverting. Anyways, thank you again for noticing the vandalism on the Osamu Adachi page!

Hi, your images are quite good. Could you please upload them to Wikimedia Commons so that other Wikipedias and Wikimedia projects could use them, too? -- 32X 19:37, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi Edgar, The parabens page seems to be more like a battleground with too many people denying the science behind some of the comments. I am fed up of someone who keeps putting in the trade names Nipagin and Nipasol (I used to work for Nipa, but it's not me doing it!) - and they are wrong anyway as it should be Nipagin M and Nipasol M. Keep up the good work in monitoring the page. Dene45
Sorry, I thought it was someone trying to be commercial! Hopefully, people will leave the page alone until there is new (and accurate) information to add. Thanks for your supporting comments on my previous changes - the precautionary principle was extremely annoying! Dene45
Hello.
You're clearly a responsible and thorough contributor to Wikipedia, but on this occasion I must question the wisdom of a deletion you've made:
[ [4]]
I assume the implication was that the page was self-promotion. As I recall, this was not the case. Justin Edwards is becoming a fairly important contributor to British radio and TV comedy, so it's odd that he no longer has a presence on Wikipedia, simply because you considered another Justin Edwards more worthy of inclusion. Would disambiguation have been a better option? Any help you can offer in re-instating this page would be gratefully recieved.

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert a single page more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you. Glen 20:40, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
Please see User talk:85.227.10.132. I have not unblocked, you might like to shorten it. Guy 08:35, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi Ed, I have done a huge cleanup on paraben, completely reorganised the article (and removed duplicate info). Hope it is to everybodies satisfaction (63.... seems to be quite happy with the state it is in, now). It could use some more info, especially about the chemistry &c. Hope to see you back soon! -- Dirk Beetstra T C 23:19, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
