Question
Out of curiousity, is the name "IndependentFred" any relation to the author of the source you just cited, who calls themselves "Independent Scientist Frederick"? Kimen8 (talk) 15:45, 1 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Dear Kimen8,
 * There might be a link between the two. Let's say they collaborated to provide an extra speck of wisdom on Wikipedia.
 * Best regards,

 * Thank you for guidance, Kimen8.
 * However, in no way IndependentFred will receive any compensation for this contribution. I fixed the missing link to PhytoChem & BioSub Journal.
 * Best regards and with much respect for the work you bring to making knowledge accessible,
