An editor has requested for Alpha hydroxy acid to be moved to another page. Since you had some involvement with Alpha hydroxy acid, you might want to participate in the move discussion (if you have not already done so).
{{ ChemID}} is a CASNo lookup in the ChemIDplus database, which just appears to be PubChem. There are only a few dozen transclusions ( Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:ChemID), all the articles being "chemical" or "drug" articles that would have pubchem ID in the infobox as standard. The ChemID is instead (from spot-checking) listed in External links, and I don't see the value of highlighting that reference (or leading readers to think it's something other than pubchem). Should we get rid of these uses, and then kill the template?

Template:ChemID has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the entry on the Templates for discussion page. DMacks ( talk) 13:31, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
This template also has a similar problem. The website is moved, and they have changed catalog numbers of chemicals. -- Nucleus hydro elemon ( talk) 07:40, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Maltodextrin is a topic likely difficult for the general reader to grasp readily, as the term refers to two different classes of food ingredient having the same name. Would appreciate chemistry editors giving this article a critical look with revisions as needed. Thanks. Zefr ( talk) 19:37, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

Students enrolled of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology WikiEd program are starting to publish new articles on organometallic compounds. On the plus side, we at least get a list these days, and they're mostly restricting themselves to distinct small molecules. On the other hand, most of the compounds appear to be wildly exotic.

Hi, s already tried some time ago, I think including "found in taxon" in the infobox would be valuable.

Hello WikiProject Chemicals! I'll save my introduction for another time, but anyways. I'm writing a draft on Cadmium sulfite, and as I write my first article regarding a chemical, cadmium sulfite is not a big deal in the world. It certainly is existent - I found a case of Cadmium being used to replace Tin foils and resulting in the creation of Cadmium sulfite.
The sulfites in general are not as widely written about as the Sulfates - just see their respective categories. Since some are more longer than others, and my article probably will not be as long, is there a guide, or a good reference, or convention for what articles regarding sulfite compounds should be like? And of course, how does mine look so far? ItzSwirlz ( talk) 00:17, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
The page Wikipedia:Notability (chemicals) is a failed proposal that is no longer accurate; we don't consider every possible chemical compound notable just because it has a CAS number. Instead the compound should be in secondary sources. Discussion is at Wikipedia talk:Notability (chemicals)#Revive this proposal. I have started editing the page. Michael7604 ( talk) 19:50, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
Across articles I've been updating formula formatting to use the new "\chem" style of formatting instead of just using plain text. Are there any issues with this? I've been doing this for a bit. ItzSwirlz ( talk) 20:07, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
What should we say? -- Smokefoot ( talk) 19:15, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello, I have been cleaning up some of the earlier articles I had created (which are very poor in quality), and wanted to know if the articles below would be needed to deleted or redirected due to issues. It would be nice if people like @ Smokefoot: could look at them.
I also found very dubious articles that I hadn't made, so I'll list them below.
