Conflict of Interest disclosure - I work on the ChemSpider database at the Royal Society of Chemistry. My role involves curating data on ChemSpider, as well as providing user support and training.
My background is in
Most of my edits are to
This will frequently involve adding or fixing:
- IUPAC names and other identifiers
- Pharmaceutical nomenclature, including generic names like INNs and USANs
- UNIIs, EINECS and CAS numbers
- Database IDs, such as ChEBI, ChEMBL, ChemSpider, MeSH or PubChem IDs
- Intrinsic properties, like molecular formulae or molecular mass
- Structural line notations like SMILES strings and InChIs - especially making sure their Stereochemistry is correct
- Chemical structure drawings
My goal is to improve the quality and coverage of chemical and pharmaceutical data on Wikipedia, and enrich and improve these pages for chemists, people working in the broader chemical and medical fields, students of chemistry and related subjects, and the general public.
I also fix grammatical errors, and tweak sentence structure to improve clarity. One of my cousins once described me as "exactly the sort of person who would edit Wikipedia for grammar", and I really couldn't argue...
