Help us on the worklist
Shortcuts

WikiProject Chemicals is a daughter WikiProject of the WikiProject on Chemistry. It concerns writing and improving articles about chemical compounds in Wikipedia. So far, more than one hundred members of Wikipedia have signed up to participate in WikiProject Chemicals.

A worklist of representative chemical compounds has been finalized. Progress on the articles in this list is monitored by participants. Also, templates for Lists of Properties for the compounds have been standardized, as has formatting and naming articles on chemical compounds. Presentation of chemical structures should also be standardized (to some extent). This WikiProject also serves as a forum on how best to present chemicals information and proceed with work on chemicals in Wikipedia.

If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and look at the worklist. To join, simply list yourself at #Participants by adding your name (and table format) to the section. If you would like to request a new chemistry-related article, please be referred to the WikiProject Chemistry requested articles list.

Scope

This WikiProject aims to provide high-quality, standardized articles in Wikipedia for all important chemicals, similar to the Merck Index. This comprises all organic and inorganic compounds, elements, reagents, commodities, pharmaceuticals, pollutants, and other large-scale and small-scale chemicals of interest. Additional focus is given to the selected articles about approx 400 representative chemicals, on the target worklist.

Other chemistry subjects, including chemical groups, ions, methodology of analysis, production, reactions, etc., are included in the Chemistry WikiProject, or in its other daughter wikiprojects.

Assessment

The primary aim of the Chemicals wikiproject is quality improvement of articles about chemicals. Within the wikiproject, these articles are quality classified for chemical completeness (Class) and the relevance of the chemical compound to general chemistry, according to the Wikiproject's Assessment Scheme.

Although the Wikiproject does acknowledge the Wikipedia status of Featured Article (FA) and Good Article (GA), these are generic qualifications only, with no specific attention for chemical completeness, and as such are not listed in our Classes.

Discussion forums

Several streams of discussion are on-going, among others:

Activities in progress

Worklist to ChemStart level as a minimum

The worklist of the Chemicals WikiProject is undergoing continuous updates, to be brought in line with the goals as presented above. Please assist in adding, completing, and otherwise improving it. Work is now in progress to actually update the listed compounds, all to a minimum of {{chem Start}} level.

Worklist to A-Class level

Additionally, not necessarily sequentially, to the above target, all articles on the worklist be enhanced to {{A-Class}} level.

Activities finalized

Templates

The templates of the overall Chemistry Wikiproject will be used. Additionally:

  • An {{
    Amino acids
    }} navigational box for amino acid articles has also been defined.
  • Two stub templates, viz., {{Organic-compound-stub}} and {{Inorganic-compound-stub}} have been defined and implemented on all chemical compound pages which are still stubs.
  • a Userbox {{User WPChem}} has been defined to show your support of the Chemicals wikiproject
  • A wikiproject template {{
    chemicals
    }} with options: core, class, and importance
  • For common reference sources such as
    Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(chemistry)/References_and_external_links
    .

Chemical Infoboxes

Additionally chemical infoboxes have been agreed on as guideline, and are available as templates. For this a {{chemical datatable header}} specific table template has been defined. Two infobox formats have been defined, {{chembox}} and {{Infobox drug}}.

List of lists

The huge

list of organic compounds, and list of biomolecules
. The editing work associated with this is now complete.

Style guide

Manual of Style/Chemistry is live.

References

For filling out the chembox templates, the project has made available a useful data book of gas densities, viscosities and solubility products. Other tables may be added in the future.

  • Data book of the Wikiproject

There are many other general reference lists available in Wikipedia for chemicals. These include:

For elements, similar lists are available for the Elements WikiProject (to be moved there in future):

  • Periodic table, (recommended reading)
  • List of elements by name
  • List of elements by symbol
  • List of elements by atomic number

and several others, ordered differently

For minerals, similar lists are available for the Rocks and minerals WikiProject (to be moved in the future):
