Fluorine pharmaceuticals
Hi. Heard you were the pharma "guy". I am working on Fluorine. Have not gotten to pharma stuff yet (working with what I am better at first!) Wonder if you have any advice or references. I did find one book that is a general guide on the role of F in medicine. (we have it in article, now, but I need to ILL a copy.)

TCO (Reviews needed) 05:00, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
 * There is a brief description of the use of fluorine in pharmaceuticals in Organofluorine, which might be a place to start. I did a quick literature search and found several general review articles.  I don't know how easy it will be to find any of these, but if you don't have access to any of them through your library, just let me know and I'll see if I can get them. -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:02, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Wow. Awesome answer!  Gracias.  I will pull some of these and at least scan some of them.  Lots of times I find if I force myself to understand stuff, then I can explain things better for the reader.  ;-)


 * I was just reading the pharma section last night. We do have a pretty decent amount there already:  3 paras and a lot of specific examples (some organizing principles), as well as several of those refs.  I think the major thing is to try to make it just a little more accessible and "so what" (more inferences, less lists).  We should name drop Prozac at least (reader appreciates some connection to things he has heard of).  Maybe explain that the reason for the use of fluorine in aenesthetics is unflammability and apparently they dominate the market, too.  Maybe add something on the fluorinators used or industry (like is it the fine chemical industry making building blocks) or $ value.  That said, it really is good content in there, now.


 * I want to play with the org a little in general in that Biological roles section. I think pharma (or perhaps pharma and agrochem) deserve their own section.  We are skimpy on agrochem, but I read a ref last night and it is pretty significant there and apparantly fluorination used for very similar reasons (ring stabilization and lipophilicity), which we should say in article but don't.  More of a tradeoff wrt cost.  Poisons should be separated out (very different mechanism of action).  And perhaps put with the plants that make poisons.  I also want to understand why the bacteria that make organofluorines do so.  Apparently the bushes do it so deer and cows won't eat them.  But a bacteria?  Is it binding F, to protect itself from disruption of Ca mechanisms in the cell?  I should also understand why fluoroacetate is a poison (must be very different reasons than F ion as F-acetate has a C-F bond, not a source of F ion.  I also want to have a separate subsection header for dental stuff...we do have a decent para now, but like to blow that out to 2 and then have a subsection header so reader sees it.  Not just mixed in so low profile (we actually have an FA on water fluoridation).


 * TCO (Reviews needed) 14:15, 3 January 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm getting going on this pharma-F section. Can you help me get some of the refs?  Probablyt don't need all, but just have the one that is on the net.  Here's what I'm looking for:   TCO (talk) 06:37, 29 January 2012 (UTC)


 * OK, I'll see which ones I can get. It may take a day or two, and I'll reply at the resource exchange page.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 18:48, 30 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Sent you an email. You rock for helping out.  Love it when we have people who know this stuff engaged!  Maybe I can even lure you into looking it over after I mess with it!  ;-)

Commercial use of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde
Hi Edgar. Can you (or anyone else reading this message) comment on commercial uses for 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde? I believe it may be used in the flavor and fragrance industry and in pharmaceuticals as a building block material; beyond that not sure.

I have an interest in this compound (and syringaldehyde, as a related chemical compound) as I am getting involved with a start-up company that can produce both of these aldehydes as green chemicals from non-food biomass. Thet are by-products of vanillin production, and I am looking for commercial outlets for each.

Thanks,

Gary — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.121.84.57 (talk) 01:43, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't have any first hand knowledge of how 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde is used commercially. A quick look in the Available Chemicals Directory shows 170 suppliers for this chemical, which is quite a lot from my experience.  This suggests that it is quite widely used.  I agree that it is very likely to be used as a flavor and fragrance agent (see http://www.thegoodscentscompany.com/data/rw1040191.html for example) and as a chemical intermediate for pharmaceuticals (any maybe pesticides).  But beyond that, I don't think I could say much.  I have seen the reference book Ullman's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry used here on Wikipedia as a source for information about the industrial uses of chemicals, so if you can find access to it, that might help.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:21, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Patrick Bateman
Edgar, there's an RPP request out for this page, but it hasn't been answered yet and the page is pretty out of control. Is there a chance you could swing by it? Thanks. Calabe1992 14:49, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, done. It should probably be checked to see if there is any remaining vandalism still in the article.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 14:56, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks much, will do. Calabe1992 14:58, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Looks fine now. Thanks for protecting it. I believe an indefinite semi-protection would be appropriate, though. Patrick Bateman is part of a 4chan meme, and will only be continued to be vandalized by 4chan, as evident by the edit history (months and months of edits by people adding the "doubles/dubs/numbers" crap). I know of at least one other article being indefinitely protected due to to 4chan: link. Nymf hideliho! 21:30, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, I'll keep an eye on it when the protection expires, and re-protect for longer as needed. Thanks for the heads up.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:56, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for deleting my project page Tej Gyan Foundation
Hi Edgar Thank you for deleting my project page Tej Gyan Foundation. I have also requested for the talk page of the same name to be deleted. I meant to create this topic in my user space and will do so shortly so I am just advising you about that as it will start with the same content as the two deleted pages.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Best regards

User:138.246.2.8
Edgar, I just came across in Huggle numerous of this user's contributions that didn't exactly seem helpful, and I see you've blocked him, so what I've seen has all been reverted. If anything should be left alone, feel free to revert me or let me know and I'll revert myself. Calabe1992 18:57, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
 * As far as I can tell, the IP edits needed to be reverted and have been. -- Ed (Edgar181) 19:00, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Delete an image
Hi Edgar

How do I delete an image I erroneously uploaded to commons? The image in question is ":File:CentreStructureConcept.JPG" and is currently untagged. Thank you for any help. Chris

Cneeds (talk) 20:06, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
 * For any unused image that you uploaded here on Wikipedia, you can just put db-g7 on it. If the image is on Commons, you can use  .  I can delete the file right now if that's what you want.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 20:12, 20 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks Edgar, I couldn't find this info anywhere, now I have it I will take care of the image I want deleted. Chris
 * Can't find it so I guess either you deleted it for me (thank you) or it was auto deleted? Cneeds (talk) 10:18, 21 January 2012 (UTC)


 * The file was still around until just now when I deleted it. -- Ed (Edgar181) 19:45, 21 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks Edgar, but now I'm confused. I first uploaded the image into commons but I couldn't get my article to link to it so I uploaded it again by clicking on the link my article made when I saved the article. So I presumed I now had two articles and I needed to delete the one in commons but, as I said earlier, I couldn't find it so I presumed it had been deleted for lack of copyright info. Now the image in my article has gone so I'm gussing that's the one you deleted or were they one and the same image? Anyway I will upload the image again via my article and then complete the copyright data. Please advise if I'm missing something here.


 * OK, I'm not able to upload the file again, help! I guess I can just use another filename but that may be confusing later. Sorry Edgar for this disturbance! Cneeds (talk) 20:29, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
 * As far as I can tell, you have never uploaded any file at Commons. Also, the fact that a file was deleted shouldn't prevent you from uploading again to the same file name.  Do you want me to just undelete File:CentreStructureConcept.JPG?  -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:46, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes please
 * It's still not appearing on the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Cneeds/The_Tej_Gyan_Foundation page so I guess you haven't had the time to do it as yet?
 * →HELP!
 * Sorry, it is undeleted now. Please provide the necessary information regarding its copyright status or it may be deleted by another administrator.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 22:22, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you Edgar. The image was given to me by the article's subject, The Tej Gyan Foundation. What do I need to get from them to prove that the copyright belongs to them? Cneeds (talk) 19:35, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure exactly what is the best procedure, but I would recommend having a look at Donating copyrighted materials and Requesting copyright permission for guidance. -- Ed (Edgar181) 20:45, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Rename an article in my user space before I submit it
Hi Edgar

Is it possible to rename an article in my user space before I submit it? The article in question is currently called "User:Cneeds/Showcase site" but would be better called "User:Cneeds/Showcase website". Sorry, I'm becoming a nuiscance now :-( Cneeds (talk) 21:18, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Request for comments on clothianidin
Hi again. I wonder if you could take a look at the latest changes to the [clothianidin] page (esp. the new "2008 beekill incident" and "Possible contamination issues" sections) and add any comments you might have to the bottom of the clothianidin talk page, where I propose to delete both new sections. Talk:Clothianidin Thx USEPA James (talk) 13:21, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Request for linking 3-Bromofuran
Hi, While you are on the Rosefuran page you will see a link in red under Synthesis for 3-bromofuran. When you click, it says the page does not exist...yet it does! Can you fix it so that 3-bromoforan mentions link properly to the 3-Bromofuran page. Thanks George.kvakovszkyGeorge.kvakovszky (talk) 22:35, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
 * The problem arose because in Wikipedia titles, capitalization matters. 3-Bromofuran and 3-bromofuran are different articles with 3-bromofuran being a redirect to 3-Bromofuran.  The issue was solved when User:Benjah-bmm27 created the redirect.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 18:15, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Aone Beats
Any good reason why you deleted the userpage and talk page of User:AONE BEATS? — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 22:29, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes. The page had been repeatedly used for promotional purposes.  It had been repeatedly blanked by other users for that reason, and then repeatedly restored by the user.  Simply removing this page helps prevent the problem from recurring.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:14, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

South Derbyshire
I think I may have recomended a too hard too fast response in this case. (is this a case of WP:BITE ?) A quick hard responses is needed in most cases (pure spammers) but, there seems to be a chance that the person is in a good position to contribute to the article ( working an advice beaurau). I wrote an explanation on the user talk page (User_talk:Sderbyshirecab), offering them a second chance (sort of) what do you think? Decruft (talk) 14:37, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I like the message you left for him. Even though the user was reported for vandalism, the block I applied was simply for the inappropriate username (though I forgot to leave a message on the user's talk page until now).  As the note says, he is free to sign up with a different username and continue to contribute to Wikipedia.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 14:46, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Vorapaxar Update?
I'm not qualified to edit, but today's release on Vorapaxar (February 7, 2012) at http://www.merck.com/newsroom/news-release-archive/research-and-development/2012_0207.html seems to call for someone ;-) to update the Vorapaxar page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorapaxar.


 * Sure, I'll take a look a little later today, and see what I can add to the article. -- Ed (Edgar181) 18:32, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Request
Can you please move this page back to the original title? . An user abusively made the move, even if the result of the RFM on the talk page was "no consensus". The title from the official site of the organization http://www.sznt.ro/ is Szekler National Council KhantyMansiMagyar (talk) 17:30, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
 * FYI, request came from a sock of banned user . Amalthea  17:34, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I honestly have no idea what the proper name of that article should be. On the talk page there is hardly any discussion at all.  It would probably be better to restart the discussion there (or another appropriate place such as Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Romania) to find a consensus, rather than rely on a discussion that was closed as "no consensus".  -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:36, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

ip block
I see you blocked the IP i reported. Thanks for the quick action. But I notice you only blocked one of the ips. Is that really useful when we know the user is switching ips? Gaijin42 (talk) 15:50, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * It won't be useful to block the other IP address because the editor has moved on to a new one and is unlikely to be able to return to the previous one. A range block would be an alternate way to handle it, but that doesn't seem to be necessary at this point because the disruption at Angels & Stars is not too much of a problem at this point (unless I'm missing something).  The page is now on my watchlist, and I'll take more action if necessary.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 16:00, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * thanks for the clarification, you are right that they are unlikely to return to the old ip, I did not consider that. Gaijin42 (talk) 16:21, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

That user rotated IPs again and reverted the AFD again. Gaijin42 (talk) 23:21, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I have reverted and blocked the IP. Thanks for letting me know.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 14:58, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

deleted again. bot restored. I requested page protection. Gaijin42 (talk) 14:26, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

MSU Interview
Dear Edgar181,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:
 * Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
 * Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
 * All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
 * All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
 * The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) 18:15, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I wish you and your students success with this project, but I am not interested in participating myself. -- Ed (Edgar181) 20:24, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

The user that you blocked on 8 February( he opened an edit war on Ankara Airport page) opened another user (Unfortunately he doing this alot...) and vandalize again the same page and another pages. Now he is user 78.188.108.196, before he had users 88.247.101.165 and 46.196.46.3.

Hey there
This weird one created an accounr and began vandalizing this morning: User talk:TheBigRedAnoose.

re:SVGs
Thanks, it is pleased with your attention. Since I drew them by ChemBioOffice and save them with svg format directly, White backgrounds and no margin is inevitable. I'll fix them by Inkscape tomorrow for too late in China now. -- shakiestone (talk) 16:27, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * It is believed that Inkscape can handle this problem by removing background and increasing 5px at hight in document attribute. You can check out how vitexin.svg @ Vitexin is going and it is hoped that you can give a feedback. If it is OK, I'll fix all the svgs uploaded in this way. But also thank you for earnestly providing me a tool. -- shakiestone (talk) 16:44, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Need help from the smarter
Hello there! I'm (rarely lately, but am planning to return for active editing sometime soon) working on fluorine. Got three questions and you were recommended for me as a man who "know[s] a lot or hard-core chemistry." So it'd be neat if you could help me.


 * 1) HF/SbF5. While I already know there is probably no "H[SbF6] with naked protons," I wanna make it sure. Made a short look over the Net; says no protons can exist in solids, but probably in gases. What would you say? Could there be a high vacuum geasous "H[SbF6] with naked protons"? (also, for me actually, could it be even more acidic if we use AuF5 instead? just give an opinion)
 * 2) Low melting point. Does it have anything to do with the partial second bonds found in Cl2, Br2, and I2, but not F2?
 * 3) I can't understand why BiF5 is polymeric rather than molecular. (I understand the rationale for BeF2...is it something similar (opposite)?) It could be neat to explain that in a few words.

It could also very neat if you colud provide any sources, but if not, any help would still be very appreciated. (Have also personal interest on each of the three, so...please explain whatever you can) :) Thanks a lot, in advance--R8R Gtrs (talk) 18:37, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Tough questions. And I'm probably not the best person to be asking questions like this - I'm an organic chemist, not inorganic.
 * I would agree that referring to HSbF6 as having a "naked H+" is an exaggeration, but it's all a matter of degree. You can't get anything closer to "H+" in a chemical compound.  It's not very far off to call it a naked proton, so you might as well just call it that.  I suspect it's still going to be attached to the SbF6- to a certain extent even in high vacuum.
 * Sorry, I don't know how to answer this one.

Power Rangers Samurai
I wanna know why when I added the following to Power Rangers Samurai which any observer of said program can see for themselves to be fact but Acalamari and Ryulong claim it to be a personal opinion and blocked me for a period of 24 hours and threatened to make the block permanent if I ever re-added it to Wikipedia, I suspect them to be bullying me but I am not sure. Could you please help clarify the situation, thanks: Strangely enough for a group of samurai, they are all basically gaijin even their sensei/shogun is portrayed by a New Zealander, for none of them are full blooded Japan-born Japanese.

Borax
Dear Edgar181,

Currently the problem of toxic preservatives is challenging in Europe. Yesterday I added some information to the article “Borax” about safe substitutions for Borax as food additive. Why did you decide to remove it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gogi djan (talk • contribs) 11:20, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
 * It appeared to me to be product promotion, which is not permitted on Wikipedia. The added reference was to a website that is clearly promotional in nature.   Perhaps it can be re-added in a way.  For example, maybe the ingredients that are used as alternatives to borax in food can be specified without calling attention to specific brands.    -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:04, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

I agree with you, but I think it is difficult to dispense with ingredients naming (e.g., at this page we can find promotional references of Pacific Coast Borax Company, 20 Mule Team Borax trademark, "Boraxo", "Borateem", Deselex, Henkel etc.). Recently I heard an interview with Russian largest sturgeon farm owner and he spoke about caviar preservatives, including Borax and LIV. This interview is in Russian. Can we place a link to the audio-record? If we add references to the web-sites of caviar companies that use those new Borax substitutions it would also be a promotion, won’t it? So which way can be used to give the information about Borax substitutions? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gogi djan (talk • contribs) 18:07, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
 * There's probably a way to include this material without it being overly promotional. If possible English-language references are preferable to Russian, but if that is all there is, it's probably ok to add.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 22:30, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

WP:CSD A3
Hi Edgar181, I'm from catalan wikipedia. I've seen you've been speedy deleting so you may be able to help us. We are discussing about the interpretation of A3 criteria for speedy deletion. The sample case we are debating is ca:Stephanachne (Stephanachne here). Does this article fit to A3 here? Why? Have you decided something or have you something written about these stubs? Could you help us? Paucabot (talk) 15:31, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Here on the English Wikipedia, an article with the same content as ca:Stephanachne would not qualify for WP:CSD.

Glyoxylic Acid models
Dear Edgar

I was looking at the entry for Glyoxylic Acid and ended up a little confused by the difference in representations between the ball and stick model and the structural diagram (which depicts one less hydrogen than the ball and stick model). Is something amiss?

Peter — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.91.9.115 (talk) 23:54, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * File:Glyoxylic acid.png is a skeletal diagram, one of the standard ways that chemists depict organic chemical compounds. In these diagrams, carbon atoms and the hydrogen atoms directly attached to them are not shown explicitly.  So in this case, two carbon atoms and one hydrogen atom are implicit.  There are lots of details at skeletal diagram if you want to find out more.  I hope this helps.-- Ed (Edgar181) 13:15, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

alex Standish
Why did you remove my content on this person. I know it is the same person so i would ppricate it if you put it back please. IF you did your research then you would know it was the same person.

Many thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crookhamboy (talk • contribs) 11:17, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia's articles about living people are held to a very high standard because of the potential to do real harm - see Biographies of living persons. The type of information that you are trying to add to the article would be particularly defamatory if it were not true.  So in this case, I think a high standard for verification that the wrong person isn't identified is clearly warranted.  While it is plausibly the same person, I'm simply not entirely convinced that with the information available that this is the case - and I'm not the only one.  Another editor has expressed the same doubts and reverted your previous edits to the article.  I have requested other people's opinions at Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:48, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

I have read the discussion and i can understand where you and others are coming from. This man was charged using his Full Name but used his middle name alex as his working name for some reason. Please believe me when i say it is the same person. The wiki article states he worked for the UN and the Prime Minister of albania and so does the press article. IF you go to the reading post site and search for alex standish you will 4 articles in all all regarding this person. I also understand this article is up for deletion - can you tell me why please and when will it be deleted?
 * It seems likely to me now that the two are the same. But it may be a moot point if the article gets deleted.  Wikipedia has notability guidelines for inclusions of biographies and someone has nominated the article for deletion at Articles for deletion/Alex Standish, arguing the failure to meet these guidelines.  These discussions usually last for a week before an administrator decides to either keep or delete the article based on the outcome of the discussion.  You are free to contribute to the discussion there if you want to.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 14:43, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Muscarine
I added the note about muscarine being the center of Dorothy L. Sayers' novel The Documents in the Case. It appears you deleted it as trivia. I see you are an administrator and a big contributor, so I appreciate your well-earned authority in this matter. I'm a very heavy Wikipedia user; the sentence you removed was my first-ever edit. Since perhaps tens of thousands of people know of muscarine only through this novel, and muscarine is really important to the novel, and I referred to the muscarine article becuase of the novel, I'd like a mention of the novel to appear in the Wikipedia article on muscarine. Could you restore some mention, please, in a format acceptable to you? Thanks. JimJ80 (talk) 13:51, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Usernames for administrator attention
Hi Ed, Is there some precedent or discussion that has taken place in the past regarding blocking promotional usernames, that have only edited in AfC space? If there is, I'd be grateful if you could point me towards it. I make quite a few of these reports at UAA (most of my work is at AfC) and many are softerblocked, but some admins decline. Pol430 talk to me 10:36, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I spend a lot of time at UAA, and it seems to me that most of those types of reports (AFC-only editors with promotional-sounding usernames) are declined. But certainly some administrators will block those.  Looking in the archives, I found this: Wikipedia_talk:Usernames_for_administrator_attention/Archive_2, but it doesn't really settle the issue one way or the other.  So I suppose there is no real consensus, and you should feel free to make your own judgement on whether to report them or not, and for now sometimes they'll get blocked and sometimes they won't.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:07, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

KM X-1
Hi Edgar. Someone has moved this page (1-Pentylindol-3-yl)-(2,2,3,3-tetramethylcyclopropyl)methanone to the made-up code number "KM X-1" and I can't move it back for some reason. I don't think this is an appropriate name, seeing as it is just an invented code number that one particular manufacturer seems to be using to promote the compound for sale. It has been suggested that it could be moved to "UR-144" instead, as while this is also a made up code number, it is at least commonly in use by many different people, as opposed to the current one which will send everyone who searches for it on google to one particular vendor's website. But personally I disapprove of these made up names and would favor the correct chemical name, even if it is long and unweildy. Ironically this compound will have a "proper" code number from Abbott (which will be A-xxx,xxx starting with 7 or 8) but in the couple of papers where it is mentioned, they only call it "compound 46" or whatever, its internal code number has not been revealed. Meodipt (talk) 00:21, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Pura Bathrooms Ltd
Hi Edgar, You have deleted my page for Pura Bathrooms Ltd, but not responded to my justification to keep the page. The content was factual, unbiased and similar in content to the wiki page of another UK company, namely Pura Foods Ltd. Please can you explain why Pura Foods Ltd is acceptable, whilst my page for Pura Bathrooms Ltd was not? Is it because Pura Foods Ltd is on a stub, i.e. manufacturing companies? As a novice to Wikipedia, it would be helpful for me to receive such feedback Sussexevents (talk) 17:39, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I deleted the article because it contained no content suggesting notability (see deletion criteria WP:CSD for details). Wikipedia has notability criteria for companies to be included - you can read them at Notability (organizations and companies).  If you think the company meets these criteria and you can write an article from a neutral point of view that demonstrates the company has sufficient notability to meet these guidelines, the article will probably be kept.   If you think Pura Foods does not meet these guidelines (I'm not sure it does), then you may nominate the article for deletion (see WP:AFD).  I hope this helps.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 20:17, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, it does. Thank you for clarifying the problem. Pura Foods probably fails to meet the necessary criteria, hence was not a suitable template for my article. I will review the guidelines for notability. Sussexevents (talk) 09:11, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Soutron deletion
Hi Ed - I got your mark for speedy deletion note last night after I added the entry for Soutron. Wow - when you say speedy, you mean speedy. The entry was a work in progress.

They are only one of three companies in this industry. Does that not pass the significance test? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Timtempleton (talk • contribs) 18:10, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Soutron Global was marked for deletion by because he thought it was unambiguously promotional.  I agreed and deleted the article.  Because the article was referenced entirely to various Soutron websites, it seemed to consist of only what Soutron says about themselves.  Wikipedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view.  Without seeing the completed article, I can't really judge whether is passes the significance test.  I have undeleted the article and moved it to User:Timtempleton/Soutron Global where you can work on it, and later move it back to the proper title.

The organization became a 501(c)(3)non-profit corporation in 1991 and adopted its current name in 2010.

Solid State PLC
Hello, I'd like to create a page Solid State PLC but you previously removed this: 18:11, 17 August 2011 Edgar181 (talk | contribs) deleted page Solid State PLC (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion) The intention was to create a brief, factual page outlining the AIM listed companies details and history but not be an advert or promotion. Would you be able to assist me in achieveing this.

 * The version of Solid State PLC that I deleted was in fact an unambiguously promotional article full of nothing but marketing hyperbole ("leading value-added distributors and agents" "looking for added-value solutions", etc.) written from the company's perspective ("we market our products", etc.)  Wikipedia articles must be written from a neutral point of view and should not be merely advertisements masquerading as encyclopedia articles.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 11:18, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Semi-protect request
Hi. I've contacted you before about semi-protection requests on young Disney and/or Nickelodeon stars' bio pages. You previously protected the Cameron Boyce (actor) biography for about 3 months and the lock expired about a month ago. As I suspected, both he and the show have only gained in popularity since you first protected the page, and the unconstructive edits from young fans has only increased since the lock expired. The edits made to the page in the last month or so aren't necessarily all "vandalism", but they aren't helpful/useful either (I believe only additional interwiki links to new Wikipedia bio pages for him in other lanugages have not been reverted - with the exception of one unsourced credit in the "Filmography" table that I'm leaving for now), so I was hoping you would consider protecting his page again. As I think I've mentioned before - the only useful edits that seem to happen on young Disney stars' pages are usually from confirmed users anyway, so I doubt the page would suffer from an extended lock. --- Crakkerjakk (talk) 02:41, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I know you're away, but I just thought I'd add an adjacent request to lock the Jessie (TV series) article (the show on which Boyce stars) as well. I got busy over the holidays, and I haven't been keeping up with many of the Disney articles over the last few months, but since the previous lock on the Jessie page expired it's gotten tons of pointless edits from 10-year-old Disney fans, and I'm sure the dedicated editors who have been constantly watching/reverting it could be using their time much more constructively. --- Crakkerjakk (talk) 16:15, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅ I have semi-protected them both. -- Ed (Edgar181) 11:18, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you. :)  --- Crakkerjakk (talk) 13:29, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Block evader...
is evading the block you just put on his other account. Calabe1992 14:29, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
 * He is now blocked. Thanks for letting me know.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 14:31, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
 * No problem, thanks. :) Calabe1992 14:32, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

This looks promising ...
I saw this posted on the talk page of an anon IP that you blocked for a month. This doesn't sound hopeful that, upon their return, they will edit constructively, in my opinion. -- McDoob AU  93  18:29, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I'll keep an eye on the IP address when the block expires. Thanks for letting me know.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 10:30, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

[Return to Connecticut Club]]
The same "editor" has recreated the page Return to Connecticut Club just speedy deleted. --JimWae (talk) 20:21, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
 * It looks like another adimin has protected the page from recreation, so it shouldn't be problem any more. -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:13, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Abuse Filter on the Article Feedback Tool
Hey there :). You're being contacted because you're an edit filter manager, At the moment, we're developing Version 5 of the Article Feedback Tool, which you may or may not have heard about. If you haven't; for the first time, this will involve a free-text box where readers can submit comments :). Obviously, there's going to be junk, and we want to minimise that junk. To do so, we're working the Abuse Filter into the tool.

For this to work, we need people to write and maintain filters. I'd be very grateful if you could take a look at the discussion here and the attached docs, and comment and contribute! Thanks :). Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 18:14, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Edgar,

Hi. Hope you're well. Saw your comment.

Will you place protection on the page contributed by "forwardbounce1," so that the page is limited to contributions by the actual page contributor? I'm the contributor of the page, and it has been subjected to recent abuse by the user "johnsmith57."

I filed a complaint against user "johnsmith57," requesting blockage of their account, due to abuse of the page, constant revision, and the fact that the user has engaged in an "edit war" by revising the page nearly ten times in fewer than eight hours, with three of those revisions coming in less than ten minutes.

Forwardbounce1 (talk) 03:59, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
 * From my perspective, you were both involved in the edit warring - both repeatedly undoing each other's edits to the article. As for protecting the page, anyone is permitted to edit it, not just the original contributor (see Ownership of articles for details about Wikipedia's policy relating to this).  If two editors disagree over the content of the article, the best thing to do is to discuss potential changes to the article on the article's talk page.  If the disagreement can be resolved, there are ways to get assistance from other editors: Dispute resolution.  Also, as you have identified yourself as the subject of the biography, it's probably a good idea to have a look at Conflict of interest.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 11:14, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Evan Griffiths
I am about to start an article on Evan Griffiths. My motive is (1) he looks like he did something slightly interesting and (2) I hope that if I write a little bit someone else who knows more will add to it and I'll learn something. Sometimes works. Eventually. Anyhow, it looks as though you were involved in the deletion of an entry on Evan Griffiths some time ago. I think it was a different Evan Griffiths, but if I'm wrong about that, (1) sorry and (2) please get in touch if you aobject to what I'm kicking off here.
