That article has long been on my watchlist. I agree it's a hopeless FRINGE/NPOV-fail magnet and no constructive IP/newbie edits back as far as I feel like looking, one of the few places where indef-semi is reasonable. DMacks (talk) 06:25, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

‘Edits we’re not constructive’

Salutations!

I was enlightened that any contribution to interminable disruptive, dispensable modifications will repudiate and confiscate my contemporary (specified) privileges. Which, indeed, my privileges are miniature. I sincerely apologise for my contribution to unnecessary edits. However, from what you mentioned, these edits were ‘Tests’.

I can comprehend that this is no exception, however, I can assure you that I didn’t make any edits which had to be reverted. (No harm was caused, I reverted the edits).

Additionally, I am apprised of Wikipedia’s policy; I had no intentions of contributing to disruptive edits. In case you weren’t aware, I have made contributions to helping Wikipedia enhance its articles and hope to continue doing so.


I once again apologise.

why you remove doi and url of reference

sir, detailed references from Dienone–phenol_rearrangement this article was removed by you. why u removed url and doi? Rahulsoman (talk) 20:30, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi Rahulsoman,
I removed only |url= not also |doi=, and only in cases where there also was a doi. A full web-link to a publisher's website is fragile because publishers sometimes re-organize their websites. The doi tag automatically creates a link that is stable regardless of publisher changes. So a doi link is more useful and will never require someone to come around later and update it. At least one of the url links also included session, user, or site-specific access tokens, which are not correct for others in any situation. For ACS journals in particular, the links appeared to be directly to the full-article PDF, which would usually only be viable readers who subscribe to it. The link via the doi leads to the abstract (free access) that also has a link to the article, supporting info, and other material. DMacks (talk) 20:56, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
Hi DMacks,

Sorry for a later reply to the detailed write-up. Anyway, I am happy to see the edit it really looks professional, now the reference section looks very elegant. thanks for the edit. Yes if URL is missing also no problem doi is sufficient to direct the reader to the main article. I used to edit from places where we have the full assess to ACS journals. so I may not have noticed the difference. thank you, sir. keep contributing. Rahulsoman (talk) 19:32, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

You're welcome! There's no deadline here:) I'm always glad to see new and improved chemistry-related articles whenever they appear. DMacks (talk) 20:48, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

G'day DMacks. Are you able to chime in to the FAC nomination for this one? Thank you, Sandbh (talk) 07:07, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi Sandbh, unfortunately I don't have time right now to do a detailed look. But others' substantive comments and the changes in response to them all look great. I agree that this is an important topic, and thanks to all for bringing it up to such a high WP standard! DMacks (talk) 11:08, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

Request aquote for the article (ali tajdary)

Hello, good day, please suggest Ali Tajdary article as well, he nominated my article for removal while it has the most valid links and can be cited both in terms of reading and acting, please write your opinion about the article , I think a group is colluding to delete this article.

according to wikipedia rules, a singer is valid if he has two famous albums, or has given concerts in the country, or his songs have been used in movies and series, (ali tajdary) has all of the above, secondly, if he is an actor he has played a significant role in several important films in terms of (acting), (ali tajdary) has acted in seven important films, in all of which he was the first male role, and also his film (fourth round) won two awards at the russian film festival,the (special Love Line) series with his acting has been the most watched tv series in iran (25 million views). the film (the butterfly) with his acting has won the first male role award in the holy defense festival.

Also, all his movies, series and albums are registered on Wikipedia. All links are the most reputable news links in Iran.

I really do not know the reason for the nomination for removal and the people who commented clearly did not pay attention to any of the above. Hoseinkandovan (talk) 10:40, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi Hoseinkandovan,
Unfortunately I do not know enough about this person, who seems to have been involved in a range of activities, to help decide which if any meet the relevant "notability" standards. DMacks (talk) 11:37, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

Why my external link was deleted? On the page about Amino Acids

We're not a link-aggregator site (see
WP:EL guideline). If there is encyclopedia-worthy information, it can be written in our relevant article. Isn't it the same for any carboxylic acid and any suitable base (not just amino acids and strong bases)? We have a whole article on isoelectric point, for example. DMacks (talk

Rejection of Draft:Atypical Advantage.

Hey, can you please tell me exactly what I can do to upload my article? I won't bother trying again if there no way it goes up. I believe my article gives key information about a company that has a unique initiative in my eyes atleast. I am in no way related to the company and would like to know what makes my article look like an advertisement. Ojasgoel15 (talk) 10:38, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

Zwitter ion

"Because tautomers are different compounds, they sometimes have different enough structures that they can be detected independently in their mixture. This allows experimental analysis of the equilibrium. Nagy, Peter I.; Takács-Novák, Krisztina (1997). "Theoretical and Experimental Studies of the Zwitterion ⇌ Neutral Form Equilibrium of Ampholytes in Pure Solvents and Mixtures". J. Am. Chem. Soc. 119 (21): 4999–5006.

."

I am extremely dubious about the claim. Proton hopping in aqueous solution is a fast reaction, so a vis/uv spectrum will be a time-average of the spectrum of a mixture of isomers. It would cost me USD 40 to view the article cited above.

Copper(I) nitrate

Thank you for deleting the file:Copper(I)-nitrate-3D-model.png. My name is Hoa112008. I know that the old file is incorrect and now the new file is more accurate. My account, the password is too easy, so someone other than me stole it to violate the policy, so it is natural to be locked. I understand, but that account doesn't work. Can you give me an Email address so I can send you the correct file so you can upload it again?
Can you teach me how to secure my account and get the admin to block the file renaming and category renaming functions to keep them from doing bad things?

Hello DMacks Merry Christmas In Advance. I hope you're doing well. I came across your edit in Ashi Singh, where you removed the file from media section. I have added the file back to the section where it was available since last few months. If I'm violating any policy do tell me then I would like to delete the file from Wikimedia commons too.

Not cool

I spent a day fixing broken code in this Wikipedia article. 30 min after I submit the correction, you removed it. I actually did wonder why the detailed code and that's why I didn't transfer my edit to the French WP, I wanted to see if this was a good fix. You could've at least slide a “sorry” in the commit message.

ad Hock

Yes, I confess to being slightly obsessive (if that is not a contradiction) about Ullmann... So I was reading about acetophenone and Ullmann points out that most is produced as a side degradation product of cumene hydroperoxide. Its not really a Hock rearrangement. Corrections, suggestions, etc always welcome. Happy New Year, BTW. --Smokefoot (talk) 02:52, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

I agree Ullmann is a great ref, one I sadly don't have access to. Sometimes it feels a bit too
WP:TERTIARY but even then it's a great lead-ref for more (if I ever get time to track them down). Industrial processes are fascinating and unlike what I do...in this case I had no idea that the main route was just a byproduct ("waste stream") of a different process. Acetophenone is a great model substrate for all sorts of teaching excercises, both lecture and lab. Happy New Year as well! DMacks (talk

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)
