Request to revise and reinstate "Copper in energy-efficient motors"
Dear Edgar, This article that I originated about 6 years ago was deleted while I was unable to comment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Copper_in_energy-efficient_motors. I contacted the lead critic (please see discussion at User talk:Tigraan) about how to revise and reinstate the article after addressing all concerns. I explained the importance of the subject material, the extensive amount of R&D taking place at this time, how these motors are being used today, and an extensive peer-reviewed reference list of published research during the past 15 years. He suggested that I include my comments on the article's talk page. However, I was unable to do this as it is closed now. Please advise how to revise and reinstate the article after addressing the reasonable criticisms that were voiced while I was not available. Thank you. Enviromet (talk) 15:24, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

User:Tigraan properly moved my comments from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Copper_in_energy-efficient_motors to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_deletion/Copper_in_energy-efficient_motors. I didn't realize there was a talk page there. Please see the latter page for my comments. Enviromet (talk) 15:37, 2 May 2016 (UTC)


 * I have restored the article as a draft at User:Enviromet/Copper in energy-efficient motors. If you feel that you can address the concerns expressed at Articles for deletion/Copper in energy-efficient motors, please feel free to work on the article there.  Then when you think it is ready you can try resubmitting it through the Articles for creation process.  I hope this helps.  Regards,  -- Ed (Edgar181) 15:43, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you, Ed. Will work on the revise. Much appreciated. Enviromet (talk) 17:35, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Ed, just a short note to inform you that all concerns about this article (which was available and amended on Wikipedia for the past 5 years) were addressed and I just submitted a request for review and re-submission via the tag at the top of the draft. Thanks for restoring the article on my user page and giving me the opportunity to improve it.Enviromet (talk) 17:00, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

User:65.78.18.158
Hello, In January you blocked this user for disruptive editing at Yuan dynasty. The editor continues to remove sourced content from that page without discussion. The user has been asked repeatedly on his talk page and in edit summaries to discuss the issue at the talk page of the article. He has made cryptic explanations of his concerns on his own talk page, and he made an inquiry at the Teahouse, but he has not discussed at the talk page of the article. Perhaps he should be topic banned, or at least banned from editing that page until he engages in discussion. Thank you for your consideration, Laszlo Panaflex (talk) 14:45, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Editors generally aren't topic banned by administrators without some kind of community discussion and consensus to do so. For now, I have left a warning and advice on the editor's talk page and I will block again if necessary.  If you wish to pursue a topic ban, you are welcome to start a discussion at a venue such as WP:ANI.  In the mean time, if the disruptive editing continues please don't hesitate to let me or another administrator know.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 15:07, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

Emamectins Molecular Structure
I think the Emamectin B1a and Emamectin B1b R-groups are switched. I saw that Santa Cruz Biotech, and BioAustralis have opposite structures of what you produced and the naming scheme is (or seems) identical to Avermectins/Ivermectins. Can you confirm? Kinliss (talk) 22:50, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think you might be right. I'll take a closer look in a little bit to make sure, and then make the necessary corrections to image.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 00:08, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Request to relook at design outline page"
hello edgar181, I started the page named "Design outline". They have been creative agency from last 11 yrs and their work is commendable. and they are great at their work, thus i felt world deserve to know about them. its not about any living person or not an advertisement activity. Thus i feel deleting its page was inappropriate. Gilu123 (talk) 15:32, 25 May 2016 (UTC)gilu123
 * I have taken a second look at Design outline. It is still apparent to me that the article clearly met criteria for speedy deletion. It contained no credible claim of significance (see WP:CSD) and consisted entirely of highly promotional content such as "a branding powerhouse of businesses worldwide" and "cross cultural insights have helped them to extend their services to hyper-active companies worldwide" (see WP:CSD).  -- Ed (Edgar181) 16:22, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

Issues with Inkscape
I've tried uploading a new picture for Ramoplanin and the .svg file is producing random Hydrogens around the image and removing some Oxygens. I was wondering if you have advice on producing images without those errors or which programs you prefer. I'm using Chemsketch (.sk2) and Inkscape (.wmf) to create the picture files. Somehow those additional errors are coming up but don't show up on the precursor files I created. Kinliss (talk) 22:13, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I have had the same kinds of problems. As far as I can tell, there is no chemical structure drawing program that can reliably generate error-free SVGs.  I liked the newest  version of ChemDraw, but no longer have access to it.  I currently use MarvinSketch but sometimes have to fiddle around with the SVGs in Inkscspe to get them to display right. Unfortunately, I don't have any specific advice to give you - I just fix things by trial and error when necessary.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 01:21, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Shades of Red IP editor is back
FYI Looks like the self-reverting IP editor is back. . Address is outside the previous range of IPv6 addresses. Haven't seen any other similar edits though from neighboring IPs and expanding to include this and old IPs would get unrelated contributors.

CAS number for enantiomers twistane
Hi, a very long time since August 2015 !

I hope you can still have an access to a computer with Chemical Abstracts log. Now I ask myself if the enantiomer (+)-twistane and (-)-twistane have CAS numbers ? and too, if you could find the absolute configuration of those enantiomers ?? Thanks a lot for your help --Titou (talk) 12:27, 23 June 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm happy to help. Here's what Chemical Abstracts reports:
 * Tricyclo[4.4.0.0(3,8)]decane, twistane (unspecified stereochemistry), CAS# 253-14-5
 * (1S,3S,6S,8S)-Tricyclo[4.4.0.03,8]decane, (-)-twistane, CAS# 37165-28-8

I am in need of an experienced editor's eye
Edgar181, I am asking for your opinion on this suggestion. I don't need you to publish your thoughts, just shoot me an online message. There are several other cases where I am suffering from the same challenge, and I'm hoping you might offer me some guidance. I took a couple months off after a previous go-round with this specific difficulty, and the cooling-down period doesn't seem to have made much difference. I'm wondering if you have any insights.

Thank you Riventree (talk) 16:36, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Although I am chemist, the topic of crucible steel it outside my area of knowledge. I don't really know enough about material science to decide whether the articles should be merged.   As for the response you've gotten, you have my sympathy.  I'm surprised at the level of condescension in Andy Dingley's response to you.  Looking at the history of your talk page, I see more of the same from him.  Wikipedia is such a big place you can always find another topic that interests you.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 10:44, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

user:47.17.68.177
Is there an SPI or a named account associated with your 6 month block of this IP? I'm seeing a long history of multiple IPs making strange spammy mentions of various high school bands, song selections, and the Macy's Parade on talk pages. This IP made some of those edits. Most recent edits include some which restored previously deleted talk page edits by other IPs so it seems certain to be the same editor. See for example. Meters (talk) 06:39, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
 * The behavior of both the IPs 47.17.68.177 and 2600:1017:b40e:f986:7938:6170:a82f:1b04 is consistent with what is outlined at User:Salvidrim!/Macy VG IP vandal. (I was unaware of Salvidrim!'s page when I made the block on 47.17.68.177, but have included that link in more recent blocks of this individual.) As far as I know, there is no SPI or named account associated with this.  In my opinion, all of this individual's edits should be reverted on sight.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 08:21, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

Organic Chemistry
Is formic acid still the IUPAC name because my 2014 wade book says that the only iupac name is methanoic acid? Adwctamia (talk) 14:54, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * "Formic acid" is one of the few non-systematic names that has been retained in IUPAC nomenclature. I am not aware of any recent change favoring "methanoic acid".  -- Ed (Edgar181) 14:59, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * This page here on wikipedia uses this site as its reference. Does the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry put out a semi-regular list of official names? (nothing is found on their website) So I'm just stuck questioning why my chemistry book would make such a dubious statement if it is easily demonstrably false? Adwctamia (talk) 14:35, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
 * If I recall correctly, IUPAC's published list of recommendations is not updated often - looking at their website I see updates in 1979, 1993, and 2013. As for your chemistry text book, I don't know what to tell you other than this may be a good lesson that textbooks are not infallible. -- Ed (Edgar181) 14:53, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
 * You're absolutely right. Textbooks are created by humans and even "infallible" humans make mistakes (whether we admit it or not). My perception of reality is once again "smooth enough" (relative to cognitive dissonance) for me to forget about this "red flag" which is obviously kinda weird that a textbook would factually state a false, disprovable claim but I've learned in life it is better not to get caught up on trivial, inconsequential discrepancies which have absolutely zero impact upon your life unless you choose to get sucked into the rabbit hole. Better, instead, is to not sweat the petty stuff and worry instead about vaster problems like world peace, global warming, and the fact our sun will run out of hydrogen and swell in size until it swallows the earth. Not only that but one of my co-workers parks over the line at the parking garage and makes it very difficult for other cars to park beside him! As if I didn't have enough things already to worry about >_< Adwctamia (talk) 12:00, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

AfD Monita Chatterjee
Hello. I am here to discuss the possibility of restoring the article entitled Monita Chatterjee. During the AfD discussion, User:Xxanthippe discovered "this female scientist has a GS h-index of 21, which just passes WP:Prof in the relatively high-cited field of BioMed".

First, as can be seen, Monita Chatterjee is doing well in a field that apparently has high citation rates. I think this shows the high bar that she has achieved. It also connotes that maybe she has made a significant impact in her field. Second, I know from experience on Wikipedia that User:Xxanthippe consistently maintains high editing standards that are in agreement with Wikipedia policies and guidelines regarding editing on Wikipedia. So, based on their comment in the AfD, I am surprised that this AfD was closed so quickly.

Normally, I am in agreement with closing AfDs as quickly as possible when there is no information pointing to notability of the subject and the AfD just goes on and on. However, in this instance, I think the AfD should have been given more time because I believe that User:Xxanthippe was on to something that is worth looking into. Also, as I am writing this, I am realizing that perhaps simply reopening the AfD discussion for a longer period could lead to a more effective outcome. So, as the closing Admin, it is up to you to decide what you want to do. Thanks for your time.

By the way, in the spirit of full disclosure, User:Xxanthippe and I have been discussing this on his talk page (see here: } Regards ---Steve Quinn (talk) 02:57, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure I understand the argument about working in a field with high citation rates. If citation rates are high, then someone with little notability might appear to be more impactful than they really are by having their work more highly cited than they would be if they worked in another field - essentially resulting in a misleadingly inflated h-index.  In any case, I realize this is a borderline case and reasonable people can disagree.  Your suggestion of reopening the discussion for further input seems like the ideal solution here, so I have done so.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:42, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Excellent. Thanks. We'll see how it goes. And I will take under advisement the observation that a researcher's high citation rates in a field that has high citations could lead to misleadingly inflated h-index rendering them as having more impact than is actually the case. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 03:04, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

New question for CAS number
Hi,

The same question like for twistane but this time for usnic acid. I know :


 * acide usnique, numéro CAS, racémique
 * acide (+)-usnique, numéro CAS
 * acide (–)-usnique, numéro CAS

So the (–)-usnic acid, have it a CAS number ? and what is the absolut configuration of (+)- and (–)-usnic acid ? thanks for your help --Titou (talk) 11:56, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I will take a look on Monday. -- Ed (Edgar181) 10:46, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Here is what Chemical Abstracts has for (-)-usnic acid:
 * (-)-Usnic acid; CAS#6159-66-6; (9bS)​-2,​6-​Diacetyl-​7,​9-​dihydroxy-​8,​9b-​dimethyl-1,​3(2H,​9bH)​-​dibenzofurandione
 * And (+)-usnic acid is the (R)-enantiomer. The rest matches what you have provided.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:13, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Super good ! thanks a lot - but I forget another little question about this molecule which is described too with D and L descriptors. So could you find the relations between :
 * (R)-(+)-usnic acid, CAS number
 * (S)-(–)-usnic acid , CAS number
 * and
 *  D -usnic acid
 *  L -usnic acid
 * I hope it isn't to difficult to find !! --Titou (talk) 13:06, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
 * A search on "D-usnic acid" returns the (R)-enantiomer and "L-usnic acid" returns the (S)-enantiomer, but those terms are not explicitly listed as synonyms. -- Ed (Edgar181) 14:06, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

William Perry Woods and the Founding of Lions Club Page Deletion Tag
Hello! I understand that there was some confusion with the page I have been editing. I am being paid to do this work (this is disclosed) but the client somehow found the draft online and was confused and thought it had been published and wanted it taken down. I deleted the whole thing and saved it because I had a draft on my computer and so she wouldn't get more upset. Would you be able to remove the deletion tag? We should have it back up after talking to the client today. Thanks! Jodi IBJ BookPub (talk) 12:57, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure I understand what you are asking. I deleted the article William Perry Woods and Founding of Lions Clubs International because its entire contents were "test", nothing more.  If you are asking about the draft article Draft:William Perry Woods and The Founding of the International Lions Clubs, it hasn't been deleted and there is no deletion tag on it.  You have removed the content from it, but you can still access the previous content via the "History" tab.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:18, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

 * A range block wide enough to cover all the IPs looks like it would have too much collateral damage. It's a major British ISP.  However, I have applied a few narrow range blocks.  I suspect it may not help too much though.  We may just be playing whack-a-mole for a little while.

Single-Malt Scotch Whisky
G'day Sir:

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, insofar as I am new to this entire Wiki-edit world. So, I simply chose to contact you because you were the last poster on the Scotch page.

Specifically, being a Scotch fan, I noticed that Dalwhinnie is listed as a Speyside when, in reality, it is a Highland (indeed, Dalwhinnie touts itself as being the HIGHEST distillery in the highlands). Anyhow, to the point - how does one go about fixing an entry in Wikipedia if the entry is incorrect?

Thank you kindly for pointing me in the right direction or, in the alternative, fixing the error on Wiki. You are welcome to take the credit for the fix, should you agree that Dalwhinnie is a Highland and not a Speyside.

Cheers.

 * With all due respect, but we have rules over notability, and since you mentioned about working on behalf of the Colombian government, that would constitute conflict of interest. Blake Gripling (talk) 05:59, 2 August 2016 (UTC)


 * I agree with Blake Gripling. First of all, the article was written entirely in Spanish and this is an English language encyclopedia, so it would need to be rewritten in English.  Secondly, the biography appears to be about an individual who does not meet Wikipedia's notability criteria for inclusion (see WP:BIO) and did not make any assertion of notability and therefore met criteria for speedy deletion (see WP:CSD).  Finally, the article was written entirely in the standard form of a resume, not as a biography or encyclopedia article, and therefore came across as entirely promotional.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:30, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
 * And in that case, a better venue for such things would be Linkedin or a general-purpose web host where you can do a personal portfolio, e.g. Wix.com or Squarespace. Wikipedia does allow and encourage everyone to contribute to the project, but remember this is an encyclopedia and not a free-for-all soapbox for promotion. I know you meant well with what you did, but we have rules here. Blake Gripling (talk) 13:02, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Dorothy Rungeling Deletion
The Dorothy Rungeling page was created by the Brock University Special Collections and Archives department, but was deleted. The concern was copyright infringement of the jpeg used for the page. The photograph is part of the collection donated to the Brock University Library by Dorothy Rungeling and used by the Brock University Library. This is new to us, so is there something we need to do to have the page re-posted?Sir Isaac Digitized (talk) 16:35, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
 * My deletion of the page Dorothy Rungeling was not related to an image. User:Diannaa marked the page for deletion, noting the text was taken from the following website:  http://dr.library.brocku.ca/handle/10464/6175.  Indeed, every sentence of text in the article matched text nearly word-for-word that can be found on that webpage.  Since the Brock University page is marked "Copyright © 2006-2015" at the bottom of the page, Wikipedia cannot copy it.  Such copyright violations are routinely deleted according to Wikipedia policy (see WP:COPYVIO for details).  If the page is to be recreated, it must be rewritten in one's own words.  However, you might find this page helpful, if it applies:  Donating copyrighted materials.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:18, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Just so I understand, I need to re-write this page in order for it to be posted on wikipedia, even if I wrote the original for our institution (they must be different) or it needs to be referenced to Brock University? Thank you for clarifying why this was deleted.Sir Isaac Digitized (talk) 20:29, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I can't give you a definitive answer without knowing all the details, but from what I understand it doesn't matter if you were the individual who wrote the text because the university is claiming the copyright on that text. Wikipedia can't use it without permission from the university and just referencing the university webpage would be insufficient.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 21:03, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Central Ward (Brisbane City) Deletion
This page should definitely not be deleted due to lack of useful information. This page has an election result! It describes the composition of the ward and the current and past councillors. How is this lack of useful information? Please renounce the deletion of this article or please give a valid reason why this page should be deleted. Please restore this page immediately.

BMS-955176
Hello Edgar,

I had previously asked if you could add a chem box to the BMS-955176, but the chemical structure hadn't been published yet, but now it has, so could you do that please? I would do it but don't have your expertise :)

The link containing that structure's image is at http://www.informedhorizons.com/resistance2016/pdf/Presentations/Dicker.pdf

Also, a less technical favor, could you please help me add a viral structure graphic to the HTLV page please? Seems like I don't know how to do that, there are many such diagrams available on the public domain.

The link containing that structure's image is at http://clinicalgate.com/human-immunodeficiency-virus-disease-aids-and-related-disorders/

Thanks in advance for your help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by TonyDewitt (talk • contribs) 20:03, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
 * OK, I have added a chemical structure image to BMS-955176. As for the question about the viral structure graphic, I don't know which image at the link you are referring to.  If you are sure the image you are interested in is in the public domain (it's not clear to me that it is, looking at that page) then you can upload it yourself using Upload Wizard.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 20:48, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

why i am blocked on?
Dear, Please explain the reason of Blocking... KVK Bukhari (talk) 14:32, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
 * You are not blocked, but you are likely to be soon. As you are well aware, you have been evading your original block, abusing multiple accounts, repeatedly creating inappropriate pages about yourself here and across many Wikimedia sites, etc.  Just stop.  Wikipedia is not a tool for your obsession with promoting yourself.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 14:35, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

I am responsible for myself.
Hello there. I list my real name in my profile. Cancer cells die with Erythrose. The cell line experiments are done by third party laboratories, British Columbia Preclinical Research Consortium (BCPRC) and StemCell Technology. The mouse model is peer review. Please take look meke.com. I present why erythrose is only hope for cancer patient, or for us. High school should be understand. Cancer is from and part of our self. Young people die because we are wrong. Earth is not the center of the universe. Thanks. Xingnong — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr. Erythrose (talk • contribs) 15:34, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I was traveling the last few days and didn't see this until now. Wikipedia has specific guidelines regarding reliable sources for medical information (see WP:MEDRS for details).  Regarding the claims related to medical benefits of erythrose, secondary sources such as review articles and/or reports of clinical efficacy in humans are needed to support these claims.  Primary sources regarding preliminary in vitro studies and animal models are insufficient. -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:54, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

why did you delete my page
Dear, please explain the reason of deleting my page German National Bakers Academy. This was strictly encylopedic and I worked on it for hours! As I wrote in "talk", I am working for the German National Bakers Academy. So no copyright problems. I can send you an official email, if necessary. Please help me to restore this page. What do I have to do for this? What do you suggest? --Stollenbaecker (talk) 13:44, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
 * The page was copied from http://www.akademie-weinheim.de. Under most circumstances, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material such as that (see WP:COPYVIO).  If the owner of the copyright wishes to donate the text to Wikipedia, you can have a look at Donating copyrighted materials and follow the directions there.  Also, I would suggest that you have a look at Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy which seems to apply here.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:54, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Dear, thank you for this information. I daclare, that I'm owner of the text. For this I now have send an donation-email to permissions@ (Ticket#: 2016082410017554), as suggested. What can I do to restore this page after receiving the permission? Thank you in advance. --Stollenbaecker (talk) 14:43, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
 * At this point, it is probably best to wait on the response from OTRS regarding your email. -- Ed (Edgar181) 15:56, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

citropten
Hi, I am rather new to this but I noticed on your 'citropten' page that the picture you put up for the molecule does not correspond to 5,7-dimethoxy but to 6,8-dimethoxy whereas the smiles formula seems to be correct. I may be mistaken of course. Sorry If I bothered you ! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prof de chimie (talk • contribs) 12:05, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, you are right. The methoxy groups were in the wrong position. I have now corrected the image.  Thank you for catching the error and letting me know.  Regards,  -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:23, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Why was the page I created deleted?
I resently created this page Cake 4 gift and it was deleted i dont understand why please help what should i do to prevent page from deleting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yash jhambh (talk • contribs) 17:23, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
 * The article has been deleted twice, once by me and once by another administrator. In each case, the article did not include any information that indicated the notability of the company.  As such, it met criteria for speedy deletion (see WP:CSD).  To be included in Wikipedia, an article about a company must meet notability criteria as outlined in Notability (organizations and companies).  -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:26, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

So can i recreate the page, if yes what changes i should make? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yash jhambh (talk • contribs) 18:28, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't know enough about the company to say whether it would be appropriate to recreate the page or not. You would need to be able to find reliable independent sources indicating the company is notable.  Also, if you have a connection to the company, you should have a look at Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines first as well.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 18:42, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

thank you for your help i will reconsider it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yash jhambh (talk • contribs) 11:18, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

AIHL Templates and Categories
Hi Edgar. Thanks for deleting Template:AIHL Elite per WP:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2016_August_23. Does the outcome of that discussion justify deleting the whole nest of pointless AIHL templates (and maybe even the associated categories too) under Category:American Inline Hockey League templates or does that need to be proposed separately? I'm afraid it is quite a deep structure of complete garbage. I can't see a valid speedy deletion criterion. Are you able to help delete this crud or should I list them all individually in another massive TfD? --DanielRigal (talk) 20:13, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Sorry I didn't get back to you right away. I see you have started a TfD covering them.  I'll leave a comment there.  -- Ed (Edgar181) 11:48, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
