This article hasn't been claimed by either Wikiproject Chemistry or Physics. Is there a reason for this? youngvalter 02:06, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi all, I'm thinking of submitting Cyclol to be a featured article candidate and I'd really appreciate your suggestions and insights before I do that. Strictly speaking, the topic is more biochemistry than chemistry, but it might interest some of you here nonetheless. Thanks for your help! :) Willow 17:54, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
An excellent editor of scientific articles, Opabinia regalis, is being considered for adminship. Her work has primarily been in biochemistry, but she is broadly educated and scientifically discerning, which could catalyze the development of science articles on Wikipedia. Please support her candidacy, if you feel as I do that she would an excellent administrator. Willow 19:45, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi everybody, I was feeling
bold, so I made some small changes to the portal. Feel free to yell at me tell me what you think about them; I've made some suggestions on the portal talkpage which would probably need to help of more experienced contributors to carry out. Thanks!

Hi all, you were great in the scientific peer review of Cyclol — thanks! I tried to make the changes that you recommended and I submitted it this morning to be a featured article candidate. So if you have other helpful criticisms — or unabashed Support ;) — now's the time to write! Thanks again, Willow 22:45, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Hello everyone - I came across something while reading Louis Pasteur's accomplishments which suggested that there are exactly 9 compounds from which enatiomeric crystals can be formed which are big enough to separate with the naked eye. Does anyone know what these nine compounds are? -- HappyCamper 01:44, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
wikEd is a Wikipedia editing extension that has an integrated tool to wikify chemical formulas with one click:
Before | After |
---|---|
h2o | H2O |
C8H10N4O2 | C8H10N4O2 |
2 Na+ + OH- + H2SO4 --> 2 H2O + Na2SO4 | 2Na+ + OH- + H2SO4 → 2H2O + Na2SO4 |
Other features include: • pasting formatted text, e.g. from MS-Word (including tables) • converting the formatted text to wikicode • wikicode syntax highlighting • regular expression search and replace • server-independent Show preview and Show changes • fullscreen editing mode • single-click fixing of common mistakes • history for summary, search, and replace fields • and much, much more.
For a full feature list and installation instructions see the wikEd homepage and the wikEd help page. wikEd works only for Mozilla Firefox and other Mozilla browsers and is installed simply by pasting a single line to your Wikipedia User:Username/monobook.js page.

Hope this is not out of place. I think this topic is quite important but it is only mentioned in Homochirality and On water reaction, without a full topic of its own. Anyone can chip in? -- Rifleman 82 20:02, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
This popped up on my watchlist, people should know that Titanium is undergoing Featured article review, which means it may lose its FA status if issues aren't resolved. Please take a look at the comments here, these seem reasonable. Perhaps we can beef up this article and save it? Walkerma 04:15, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Here is one article that didn't exist on Wikipedia until fairly recently: rubber policeman... -- HappyCamper 01:26, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
This is something I have not encountered before: Lux-Flood acid-base definitions. Does anyone here know more about this? -- HappyCamper 22:42, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Hope no one minds that Aldol reaction is now up as a featured article candidate. Everybody please weigh in! Dr Zak 19:05, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Extraordinary claims and shares to sell. IMHO. Perhaps someone want to comment on the possibility of water electrolysis producing atomic oxygen and hydrogen and the alleged properties of this mixtures.

We've got an article on the water fuel cell, too. The name of Michael Laughton at QMW is mentioned there, saying that he reviewed the contraption. Well, I asked him about this way back, and yes, he did review the thing. He also pointed out to the inventor where the extra energy came from (the article doesn't mention that!), upon which Stanley Meyer got very angry and marched off steaming.

I've created a new template for chiral synthesis:
The intent is to group the main concepts relating to chiral synthesis together, to show connectivity, rather than looking at each topic piecemeal. There are currently several redlinks and a redirect link. I think the presence of the redlink will cause the article to be created eventually.
I've added these to the See also sections of the various articles. Are there any comments, + or -, about the suitability, etc? Reason I'm asking is that the template from crystallization, and I wonder if there are any other objections, etc. -- Rifleman 82 15:14, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

I do not see any of the chemists involved with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of chemical compounds with unusual names . The page List_of_chemical_compounds_with_unusual_names complies with Wikipedia:Unusual_articles so not against Wiki policies. Although the page is not original, at times childish it is relevant to how chemists name their chemicals and I do not want to leave it to the non-chemists to make the decision V8rik 21:30, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi wikichemistry community, i have been trying to look up for Lipscomb rules on inorganic chemistry to understanding the nature of the chemical structure of boranes, but it seems nobody has written an article on such a subject. I would deeply appreciate someone can summarize or adding at least the equations to know the values of p,q,s,t,x,y (involved on boranes structure). By the way, would someone could add the Cleanup tag or Expand on Boranes page?, i found it a little bit short to understand the nature of the boranes. Thanks for reading my query, Cheers :).-- HappyApple 03:26, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
