Looking for Feedback

Hi! As part of my university curriculum, I've contributed to the banking lobby wiki article which I believe you've contributed to before. I'm contacting past editors seeking feedback on my contributions, so if you could take a look at it, I would appreciate it. I am new to Wikipedia, so I apologize for any mistakes in the article. No problem if you cannot take a look, thank you for your previous contributions to the article! Peanutbutterisbad (talk) 20:12, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@
WP:SYN and focus on summarizing what the sources cited say rather than trying to draw your own conclusions. Overall, I think you made a substantial improvement to the article; there a few places where you could improve the encyclopedic tone. 〈 Forbes72 | Talk 〉 19:19, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply

Chromatic symmetries

Thanks very much for your comment on the articles Dichromatic symmetry and Polychromatic symmetry. I thought of adding a new, summary article on Color symmetry, referencing the two existing articles, and replacing the current redirect to Color charge. Do you think that would be useful? GreatStellatedDodecahedron (talk) 11:21, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@GreatStellatedDodecahedron: I agree redirecting color symmetry to color charge is less than ideal, but I am not sure we need a separate article for color symmetry, since it might end up duplicating the scope of those two existing articles. Perhaps a disambiguation page would be helpful instead. 〈 Forbes72 | Talk 〉 03:39, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Forbes72. I've left some notes at Talk:Gallium antimonide about value of the direct bandgap of gallium antimonide. I changed the value that was given in the lead to what I think is a more accurate value that is more broadly supported in the literature, with other (secondary) sources cited. Since you originally added the bandgap to the article, I wanted to make you aware of this change and solicit your input at the talk page, if you would like to add anything. Best, MaterialsPsych (talk) 03:09, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
