I undid your edit to Alkaloid for several reasons. The most significant is that you seemed to confuse alkaloids with hydrocarbons (your edit-summary noted "Halogens Cl and Br removed from list of atoms in Alkaloids. There are no naturally produced halogenated hydrocarbons.") There are indeed several Halogen-containing alkaloids that already have their own Wikipedia articles. You also noted "The reference (5) is in Cyrillic Russian script. Please!". But I don't see anything in the reliable-source guidelines that give any other language or character-set criteria. More important is to find out if the ref actually does verify the statement. A quick visit to Google Translate found that it indeed did support the claim about halogenated cases.
