Archived discussion still continued by The writer of Methyl hexanoate

Hi Graeme. It seems you archived Methyl Hexanoate discussion. I wanted you to help here. Thanks.Nihaal The Wikipedian (talk) 14:02, 25 August 2020 (UTC) Please fix the Properties or add it. Nihaal The Wikipedian (talk) 07:49, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That page still needs more references from suitable sources. I added the Chembox Properties template. It uses parameters like C=6 N=2 ... Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:42, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have found a problem in Methyl hexanoate. DMacks has constantly been reverting my picture uploads. The first one I can forgive but the second time,I uploaded a good sized photo but still the user reverted it again. I suspect edit warring for this, please suspect any problem.Nihaal The Wikipedian (talk) 14:55, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Nihaal The Wikipedian:He's not edit warring but trying to be helpful. The space-filling picture should not go top right on the article page but be within the chembox, as I've already mentioned on your user page. DMacks also thought that the picture was poor owing to the way that some C-H bonds were depicted and I agree (Graeme, see [1]). Michael D. Turnbull (talk) 16:24, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nereistoxin, cartap etc.

Hi Graeme. I have just created a page for Nereistoxin after looking at the current very scant one for Cartap. I decided that there are a number of minor insecticides that were commercialised but are propesticides for the parent natural product. Would you be good enough to take a look at the new page and give it a rating on its talk page? I now want to create a redirect from Cartap to Nereistoxin, effectively removing the present content of the former. Is it OK just to edit Cartap to make it a redirect page now, or is there some special mechanism that should be used in this case where the old page has existed for some time? Thanks. Michael D. Turnbull (talk) 15:37, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Michael D. Turnbull: Under WP:Bold you can just go an change that article to a redirect. The old article may be required for attribution for those other websites that copied the text. But that is OK in the history. I see you have preserved ChemBox values, so that was good, and preserved what was of value in the article. Cartap could eventually become an article if it included production and manufacturing, and its own peculiar history of use. But as it stands you may as well redirect it. If you do redirect, change the talk page to say redirect instead of stub. Happy editing. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:21, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Done Thanks for the advice. Michael D. Turnbull (talk) 10:00, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Quick Question

I had recently asked for a refund of Draft:2034 in film and Draft:2035 in film. However, I had noticed that it had been restored with the initial edit by an IP and deleted for hoax. Can the two pages be deleted and restored without the IP edit? Starzoner (talk) 21:11, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

1,2-dioxolane

Where is the style guide that says 1,2-Dioxolane should be capitalised? I'm not saying you're wrong, but it looks wrong to my eye. Compare 1-dimensional space, 2-port network. SpinningSpark 12:40, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Spinningspark:I'm not sure there is a style guide on this (Graeme will know) but in general all chemicals, whether synthetic like pyridine or natural products like threonine should be lower case in sentences. However, all chemistry articles in WP capitalise them in article titles. Hence the article will be 1,2-Dioxolane for consistency but you should only find 1,2-dioxolane elsewhere. Incidentally, the same is sort of true for 1-dimensional space which gets redirect to One-dimensional space Michael D. Turnbull (talk) 13:02, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I'm talking about article titles, specifically, Graeme's move of this page. It's not self-evident to me why the "D" is capitalised when it is not the first character of the title. If the argument is that specific chemical names are treated differently from general practice then there should be a style guide saying so. The non-specific [1,2-rearrangement]] is not capitalised. SpinningSpark 13:14, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
What do you mean "the same is sort of true for 1-dimensional space which gets redirect to One-dimensional space"? Neither page capitalises "dimensional" so how is that possibly comparable? It is using lowercase, not uppercase which is why I pointed to it. SpinningSpark 13:16, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Just typing 1,2 or 1,2,3 or more-or-less any other number into the WP search box shows that all the capitalised pages are chemicals, which suggests this was something agreed many years ago. Michael D. Turnbull (talk) 13:20, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
{{tps}} WP:MOSCHEM/NAME#Prefixes in titles, which is consistent with ACS and othe style-guides regarding that letter as "the first letter" for whatever capitalization rules apply in a given use-case. That rule does not seem to be well followed for biochemicals, so maybe WP:MED has its own standard, or no standard? There's always work to be done on WP. DMacks (talk) 13:22, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks DMacks for answering the query while I slept. We also keep the lower case redirect so that it can be linked from use of the name in a sentence. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:40, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]


Speedy deletion nomination of Tadeusz Kondrusiewicz (disambiguation)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Tadeusz Kondrusiewicz (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

  • disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
  • disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
  • is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Creation of Marina Bondarko model page

Hello, I've found an article which is not on Wikipedia, it is Marina Bondarko model related article.

There are many references of Marina Bondarko on Google.

I've found one reliable source of reference, it's wedding 21 Korean magazine , march publication, do check it out.

Actually I'm new I can't write articles directly, so I told you. I think you can create this article within 5 minutes. Satyapreneur (talk) 19:37, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Satyapreneur: You can start a draft at Draft:Marina Bondarko. For biographies I recommend that you find 3 references with substantial content. Another venue is WP:RA to ask for someone to write a title. I prefer not to write about living people, as Wikipedia has extreme bias towards the living.
