Talk:Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry

one source
I expanded the page a bit; understand the topic is notable, but I cannot find third party refs. Therefore flagged as single source.--Wuerzele (talk) 10:32, 13 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi @Wuerzele, just updated it in accord with German article including external references. Regards 17387349L8764 (talk) 10:51, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi,17387349L8764, thanks for the 5 year overdue update. -I have numerous problems with your edit:
 * you added unsourced information,
 * you use the term "currently", which is a no-no on WP. You can use As of.... Thats what I inserted already 5 years ago, which is why it said as of 2016 - this should regularly be updated.
 * You wrote: "Barbara Elvers (Wiley-VCH) is currently Senior Editorial Advisor and Claudia Ley is Editor-in-Chief, both Wiley-VCH."
 * Your abbreviations need to be explained. It looks like you lifted the sentence from somewhere; if so, thats not how WP works!
 * You added a totally unreferenced section. What are the numbers in brackets supposed to mean ?
 * You added basically no tertiary sources- mostly WILEY sources (primary sources) see Independent sources.--Wuerzele (talk) 12:32, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi @Wuerzele, thanks for feedback, please feel free to correct your findings, there are always things that can be improved. I try to answer your questions:
 * "currently" is not ideal, I know and must be changed, according to website, these are the job roles or titles of the main editors - the sentence is not "lifted" from somewhere, but just reflects what the official site is stating. I have made enough edits on WP btw, but feedback is always welcome.
 * The "unreferenced section": Is the content (topics) of the books. If you go to the main website front page, this is the content of Ullmann, very simple and tbh, I do not want to over-cite the article. The (XX) figures mean that you will find XX chapters allocated to the specific topic as far as I understand the website. Try checking it and maybe you have an idea how we can define it?
 * There is one major tertiary source by CHEManager, which is the one and best source I currently found. Since Ullmann is a very niche in space of WP, this should be fine for now. How many sources would you expect? I don't expect FAZ or others writing about it, but I haven't checked that.
 * Critic is one thing, improving is another. I am happy if you can improve further. For now I think the page is well updated. Greetings and good weekend 17387349L8764 (talk) 13:16, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh ! Sounds like you are not really familiar with WP policies17387349L8764. Currently is not " not ideal" but cant be used. I think you added numerous duplicate sources and your "improvement" was extremely marginal, caused a lot of work -I have not been able to completely correct all the mistakes you inserted.
