Sub-pages
Did you know that you can create Subpages off your userpage? This would enable you to construct complicated pages like 2-pyridone in isolation rather than as part of your own userpage. HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 17:54, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, and BTW, are you aware of WikiProject Chemistry and its sub-projects? You give the impression of someone who would be well-suited to help out there...HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 17:57, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Request for edit summary
Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 47% for major edits and 33% for minor edits. (Based on the last 106 major and 150 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 12:33, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

CS gas
Many thanks for the review - I've added some data from an american army webpage - so I'm assuming it's PD and therefore usable directly. It's been a while since I studied chemistry so I think I'd have to leave a more detailed picture so someone with more experience. I appreciate the time you took to have a look and make a suggestion. Kind regards SeanMack 17:18, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Leibniz prize
Thank you for your work on the Leibniz prize winners! I will list some of them at the Germany portal's new article section, if you don't mind. (If you don't want to see your name there, please remove the articles). Also, I would like to invite you to the German-speaking noticeboard and its talk page, a place where lots of German-speaking Wikipedians hang out and you can get translation suggestions and other help. Hope to see you there, happy editing und viele Grüße, Kusma (討論) 04:32, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Oops, I forgot that we recently made the rule not to list stubs, so I can't list these articles until they are no longer stubs :-( Anyway, I still hope you check out the Portal page and the noticeboard. Kusma (討論) 04:35, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia :Scientific peer review
Thanks but I think I will pitch in only if there aren't enough Ph.D. folks with academic tenures out there (who can actually add weight to Wikipedia's reliability). Besides I don't think I have any science articles that stand out although I notice now that I started Amotz Zahavi, Chemical database, contributed to Prion, Ernst Mayr and a bit to species started W. D. Hamilton as an anonymous edit and have been working mostly on Fauna_and_flora_of_India and related links at the moment. I was pleasantly surprised that three articles that I touched were in the Nature review list Shyamal 07:57, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Greetings from the imaginary chemist. I'll reply to your message on my talk page, when it is clearer how much the value of WP articles is for Board membership and how much the ability to get the science right is. As you have probably seen, I favour the latter and you favour the former. Depending how the debate goes, I may continue to nominate for the Board or I may just nominate to be a reviewer. Right now, I think it is more important to get consensus on rather a large number of matters. The nature of the Board is just one. There is scope of the project (just Natural Science or wider? what is natural science? etc). How big is the Board? Do we need a Charter? There will probably be others. --Bduke 22:53, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I think we need both on the board, an because of this reason I asked! The other matters which have to be sorted out, I will try to help were I can help! --Stone 22:58, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

For me it is OK when we stick to Natural Science but if there is enough people coming around asking for more I have no problem to incorporate them during the project. And for the beginning I always prefere not to make too nearrow boarders for the project, because wikipedia has room for nearly everything I hope! --Stone 00:20, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

I have responded to your question on my talk page in probably greater detail than necessary. --Bduke 22:13, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your message
Thanks for your message on my talk. I've replied on Scientific peer review talk, and I'm happy for my nomination to stay.

Boron trichloride in WP:Chem worklist
Hi, Harald, what made you add the boron trichloride article to the worklist under the Out of Scope section? I was considering to completely do away with this whole section, to focus all attention to the chosen articles in the worklist proper. I do see some activity every now and then in this out-of-scope list, and your explicit addition triggered me to step up from merely wondering to actually asking. Wim van Dorst (Talk)'' 12:58, 14 April 2006 (UTC).

Hello, can you cross-check if the Selbu paper says there is UO3 formed during combustion of uranium or not and if necessary revert uranium trioxide? Dr Zak 21:29, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Diborane
Good stuff on the history. My D Phil at Oxford was on diborane, both theoretical and experimantal. The undergdauate who wrote the paper, H. Christopher Longuet-Higgins, deserves his own article and I will write it soon. If you link, please use the name as in my link as that is the link in the list of members of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science. I'm working through the list of members there. Christopher did great things with Coulson and then dropped Chemistry and made a new name for himself in Artificial Intelligence. That makes his article less than straight forward. On preparation, by far the easiest is NaBH4 plus acid. Sulphuric was used first. I wrote a paper about using phosphoric acid, and that got in "Inorganic Synthesis" (I forget which issue, but it was the 1960s). --Bduke 22:11, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Jabir ibn Hayyan
Hi Herald!

Im sorry to bother you. But since you have been involved in many chemistry related articles, your neutral stand is needed in the Jabir ibn Hayyan article, regarding his ethnicity. Nearly all reliable sources say that he was an Arab. I listed all sources here:.

Thank you! jidan 01:23, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Re: Geber and Copernicus
If you you like to read the two talk pages, you would take a step back and wait for the dispute to settle a bit. But you are right christian chemist Liebig sounds strange and gives a wrong impression, or even better the christian biologist Charles Darvin. So lets make him an Iran born Arab or an Persian, but with both suggestions you set fire to something nobody wants. My suggestion would be make him be born in one city and a link to the city and everybody who likes the nationality of the guy can figure out that at this time persia and the arabs changed teretory often and had several wares and Iran and Irak where not nations like we know it in our time, but edit wars never follow common sence, but POV pushing attackes and 3RR and all the other time consuming stuff.--Stone 09:21, 3 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I see that the edit war has blown up a bit... I don't really care either way, but I don't think there should just be his religion. I don't really mind if there is anything there or not, but if there is, then his nationality should prioritise. -postglock 11:49, 3 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Was his religion a point of big influence on his research? Another point is that with this name and this region of the world something else than islam would be astonishing. Jews christans and hindus were always minorities in the region, I think.-Stone 12:25, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi!

A wiki user User:Inahet, had actually took the time to go the library, borrow the book E.J. Holmyard's Makers of Chemistry, and type the part important about Jabir's ethnic background. I have commented this. More here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Geber#A_test. jidan 17:31, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks very much for your comment regarding uranium, etc. Badagnani 19:19, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

And you're quick
About C2O: Impressive that you have that info at your "fingertips". As to your English skills, the chemistry is more important and I have not noticed any problems. I was looking at the "bible" again this AM - apparently this TiI4 stuff is semi-important in making high purity Ti. I think htat you mentioned the van Arkel and de Boer processes where the transiently formed TiI4 is transported to a hot filament and reverts to Ti.--Smokefoot 20:05, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Hyaline oxide
Hyaline oxide is an interesting case. It appears that there is no public record of this compound - there are no references to it in Chemical Abstracts. The cited reference in the journal Microgram is a publication of the US Drug Enforcement Agency whose website says that archives are permanently unavailable to the public. So I think hyaline oxide is not verifiable and therefore subject to deletion according to Wikipedia policy. --Ed (Edgar181) 13:46, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Germany
Hi Stone,

User:Badbilltucker has recently proposed starting a WikiProject for articles related to Germany. Since you seem to speak German fluently and have contributed to Germany-related articles such as those about the various Max Planck Institutes, I was wondering if you would be interested in helping with this project. If you want to know more about it you can check the List of proposed projects or the temporary page of the project.

Areography
Hi Stone,

As of 05Dec2006, someone has renamed the "Martian geography" article to "areography". I left a polite message asking for it to be changed back pending further justification but I may eventually need your help on re-re-directing. I don't think it's worth a big fight, it's clear to me that by leaving "areography" as the default title that we, as the editors of wikipedia, will be giving legitimacy to word that is rarely used. In a sense wikipedia would be creating language rather than describing it.

In any case, thanks for your help. Jespley 05:07, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Kevlar
You addition has some clumsy wording - I think it should read something like: "The carcinogenic Hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA) was originally used as the solvent for the polymerisation, but the security level necessary made production highly expensive. A new solvent, a mixture of N-methyl-pyrolidon and calcium chloride, is now used". A reference would be nice too. Snori 14:54, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

New chemicals
Hi Stone, thanks for adding all the chemicals to the wikiproject. Can I ask you one favour, when creating (or finding) new articles, could you add the chemicals to the talkpages of these pages, then they get categorised so that the wikiproject can later find them. The template carries two parameters, 'importance' and 'class', you can fill them in if you want, class is probably mostly stub for these articles, we have not discussed the importance-rating for chemicals yet, most will probably be mid, but it can be changed later anyway. Another option is to add them to the huge list under te wikiproject (here). That is the list that user:BetacommandBot is going to tag with chemicals for us (soonish, I hope). Cheers! --Dirk Beetstra T C 17:10, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you
I was a little worried about my first article, so thank you for adding to it. I was wondering how I might locate and post info on a triphenylmethanol compound I synthesized in undergrad organic chem lab. I think it would be OC(c2ccc5(OC)cc2)(c3ccccc3)c1ccccc1. I was looking for all the typical physical and thermodynamic properties, etc. Mrbell 17:22, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Image:Benzoic acid-chemical-synthesis-1.png
Hi. When you uploaded Image:Benzoic acid-chemical-synthesis-1.png, you did not specify complete source and copyright information. Another user subsequently tagged it with GFDL-presumed and, for some time, it has existed on Wikipedia under the assumption that you created the image and you agreed to license it under the GFDL. This assumption, however well-meaning, is not legally sufficient and the tag is being phased out. Images using it are being deleted.

This image has been tagged for deletion and will be deleted in one week if adequate copyright information is not provided.

If you, personally, are the author of this content, meaning that you took the photograph yourself or you created the chart yourself (and it does not use any clipart that you did not create), please retag the image with a free image copyright tag that correctly describes your licensing intentions, usually GFDL-self or PD-self. Please also make sure if you have not already done so that you write a good description of what the image depicts, when you took the photo, and other important details. This will allow Wikipedia to continue using the image.

If you did not create the image or if it is derived from the copyrighted works of others, please keep in mind that most images on the internet are copyrighted and are not suitable for use on Wikipedia. Wikipedia respects the copyrights of others and does not use images unless we know that they have been freely licensed. Any creative work is automatically copyrighted, even if it lacks a copyright notice. Unless the copyright holder has specifically disclaimed their rights to the image and released it under the GFDL or another compatible license, we cannot use it. If you did not create the image, and cannot make the image compliant with Non-free content, simply do nothing and it will be deleted in a week. All other non-free images must follow these rules.

Please feel free to contact me on my talk page or leave a message at Media copyright questions with any questions you may have. Thank you. Aksibot 21:30, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello

The infobox and the references you inserted are good additions. However I noted one error when I tried to click on the second reference by Bowman-James.

William Henry Perkin, Jr.
Hi there. I noticed the refs you added to William Henry Perkin, Jr.. Thanks for those. I hope to expand the article in a moment, using the text of the 1911 Britannica as a starting point. I was wondering, though, how you came across the article? Was it through seeing the hatnote I placed at Sir William Henry Perkin? In case you are interested, I tidied up the links to the father (some were about the son), and turned William Henry Perkin into a disambiguation page because it is rather easy to confuse the two. The son does sound interesting though. The references you added look fascinating, though I am unable to access them. Would you be able to expand the article slightly with some snippets from those articles? Carcharoth 21:50, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Replied on my page, but copying it here as well. Thanks for the reply. Sounds great. If you can source the "didn't get it but was considered good enough for Nobel", and expand it more than I have done, then it might be possible to put it forward for Did you know?.

Sem[yo|e]nov
Fair enough. If you could list a few of his works where this spelling is used on the talk page, that'd be enough to justify inclusion of the "Semenov" spelling in the lead. The only reason why I reverted your addition was because we generally try to stick to WP:RUS unless there are good reasons not to. Publishing works in English under a different spelling is most certainly one of such reasons. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 15:18, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

 * If you want to read stupid things like these a good place is the discussion if Copernicus is German or Polish. They make a fight about an nationality never existed in that time .

The article would though benefit from some more references, particularly in the later sections. If you could add a (referenced) sentence or two about the recent atmospheric science findings, that would be great. Regards, &mdash; BillC talk 22:56, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, I saw. The paper on volcanism looked very good! &mdash; BillC talk 00:03, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Ernst Otto Beckmann
Today I added a few things to the Beckmann article. Please read it when you have a chance. (My German spelling is not very good and needs checking.) Thanks! - Astrochemist (talk) 21:48, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:Acetaldehyde-skeletal.png
A tag has been placed on Image:Acetaldehyde-skeletal.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is 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 (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on  explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Tris(bipyridine)ruthenium(II) chloride
Hi Stone

Can you give me a sanity check on the compound's name? The order should be right - "(ligand)cation(oxidation state) anion" - but do we need the parentheses around the bipyridine? Thanks for your comments. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 17:04, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Several with parentheses and several without. I would add them, because it is easier to read for a non chemist!--Stone (talk) 17:20, 2 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Hey Stone, thanks for your comments. I think I'll just leave it as-is then. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 17:22, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

We eventually will get the prep of this thing worked out. It clearly is not what is currently stated. Thanks for this and other help.--Smokefoot (talk) 18:35, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Henry Gilman
Hello Stone,

I have recently been working on the Henry Gilman article and notice you added some quick information at the top of the page. I also noticed you were a part of the WikiBio project and was wondering if you had any insight on the article as a whole, as far as maybe it moving up a class. Any information concerning the content, context, or other applicable info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time, I will also be sending you an email. So I aplogize for the redundancy...

 * Hi I was adding only the table because I wanted the Gilman cuprate the Lipshutz and Knochel cuprates the higher order and lower order cuprat to be in some of the articles.--Stone (talk) 18:09, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Harteck Reference Citation
Thanks for the citation to the article by Michael Schaaf on Paul Harteck, which you put on the discussion page for Paul Harteck. If you happen to notice that I have been an originator of a page, or very active in upkeep, please do feel free drop me a personal note. I value all the help I can get on my efforts to construct and maintian pages on the history of German physics. Or, go ahead and make a change to the page yourself, as you see fit.

Rollback
I have added the rollback feature to your user account, and to those other trusted Wikipedia chemists. I hope this helps with reverting any vandalism or other inappropriate edits you come across. (If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it.) -- Ed (Edgar181) 18:25, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I have to lern to do it, but I hope I can fulfill the high standart of other wikipedians.--Stone (talk) 15:00, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Kronenberg was no Nazi. Thanks.
Thanks for removing the 'Nazi' reference. Klaus was no Nazi. He actually made friends with a Russian soldier (they were both stranded in a Farm House together (outside Stalingrad) during the campaign and the two refused to fight each other.

About Flags
Hi Stone, I just saw your message about removing the flags: no problem, I won't add this anymore. I used to add it just because it was easy ( I wrote a firefox extension which facilitate all this kind of edition [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Plindenbaum/xul4wikipedia])--Plindenbaum (talk) 19:40, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Bromous acid & bromite
Hi Stone

Just to explain. Earlier today, I removed the wikilink to bromite because I redirected bromite to bromous acid. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 14:50, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Peer Review
Thanks for you answer. I changed it a bit though:

Hi, on your Uraniumtrioxide page you have a link to Samuel Epstein - should it be to Samuel Epstein (geochemist)? (I've been correcting some links and came across it). DuncanHill (talk) 13:39, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Albert Niemann
Hello Stone! How are you? Thank you for your contributions to the article Albert Niemann. Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 14:25, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Stone, according to the German Wikipedia, Niemann was an Austrian. If you have any information about Niemann, please add them. Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 14:31, 25 May 2008 (UTC)


 * You might be right my source said nothing special, and before 1871 the Germany definition was moving alot!--Stone (talk) 14:41, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Stone, I made a mistake. Spanish Wikipedia calls Niemann Austrian. German Wikipedia calls him German. He was born in Goslar. Let's call him German. What's your view? Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 14:49, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article.

Thanks for your edits to Augustus Matthiessen. May I ask how you found it? I created 10 other articles (also biographical stubs) at around the same time. It is nice to see at least one of them get some extra attention! :-) Carcharoth (talk) 12:00, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
