Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted (if it hasn't already).

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Org. Synth.
Hi there

I restored the OrgSynth template; since citations to that journal are so common, this template allows a quick, easy, and standardized way to cite the journal, and link to the article. Also, it allows a quick way to search for articles citing that journal. Do let me know if you have any questions. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 11:47, 15 February 2009 (UTC)


 * There was an error previously. Fixed, now. You can look at the documentation for the template at OrgSynth. Have you dropped by the chemistry and chemicals wikiprojects? There are many regulars here who can give you a hand, it'd be nice to pop by and say hi. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 15:04, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 12:22, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

a welcome and a licencing issue
Nice of you to join us as an editor. I must warn you though that the images you have contributed to Wulff-Dötz reaction are without a licence and will eventually be removed by some wiki bot. On the other hand it is easy to add such a licence: just add

List of important publications in chemistry
Thank you for your entry to this list. A long time ago, the chemistry community here decided that it would carefully check new entries to the list and debate on the talk page whether the entry was notable enough to be retained. The discussion for your entry is at Talk:List of important publications in chemistry. Please join the discussion there and give us your views. I know nothing of this book as I am not an organic chemist, but I have asked a few questions in the discussion which I hope you will answer. -- Bduke   (Discussion)  00:01, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
 * We are getting very little comment on your entry. I believe it should stay, but it would really help if you, as the instigator of this entry, could improve the description and importance criteria and look for references that say this book is important. The debate will be closed on April 1st. -- Bduke   (Discussion)  22:54, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Liebeskind-Strogl coupling.png
A tag has been placed on File:Liebeskind-Strogl coupling.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. --Rrburke(talk) 03:37, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

NowCommons: File:Wulffdotz3.png
File:Wulffdotz3.png is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:Wulffdotz3.png. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case:. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 00:11, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Birch reduction
Hi there.

I chose your name (and four others) from WikiProject Chemistry, specifically for organic, as an active Wikipedian in the field, who might be able to help.

I have been working to help Howard Zimmerman with the article about Birch reduction. Prof. Zimmerman wrote a new, much more detailed article - I helped them format it, and tried to help with avoiding WP:OR and suchlike. It has now been merged into the original article, but I am most concerned about these types of remarks he made;


 * while Wikipedia is great for non-scientific stuff, for scientific stuff the editors and administrators seem to want textbook material and not the original refereed literature. Thus V8rik thought that Jerry March's book (great for superficial coverage) on two pages has only the basics of the Birch Reduction and nothing really on its mechanism. The texts don't touch the matter with rare exceptions. So to rely on texts and to treat refereed literature by experts in the field as either irrelevant or wrong - seems crazy to people who work directly with the subject. The texts often are laden with errors and don't keep up with advances.

I wonder if you could contact. I am sure they have a lot to offer Wikipedia, if only they are guided in the way we work together.

Many thanks,  Chzz  ►  01:22, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

AReply regarding your offer of assistance
To: SlavefortheEmpire, From: HowardZ

I appreciate the offer of assistance with the articles I have written and am now still working on to varied extents.

The articles I have written are: The Birch Reduction The Stereochemistry of Ketonization of Enols and Enolates: Kinetic Protonation The Möbius-Hückel Concept

I am now just adding more to the last one.

These are paradigms on which I have published in the regular literature. They should be familiar to organic chemists, but knowledge of their origin has varied. Thus the stereochemistry of kinetic protonation has been "rediscovered" twice (Takano, Hünig) and many make use of the concept and publish on it without knowing where it came from. Thus you can understand my interest in the articles.

With regard to assistance, ordinarily I would like that. But two people working on one article can work at cross purposes and create havoc.

I would certainly invite comments, reports of typos and errors. If you see parts which are not clear, please do let me know specifics.

There are just a few of us who seem to have advanced knowledge of organic chemistry and I'm pleased to hear from you.

I, myself, can work on these things only part-time and still get my regular things accomplished.

With best wishes,

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.
