Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Beccalouj, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Peer review on "Phosphaethynolate"
[edit]Overall, the Wikipage "phosphaethynolate" presents a great variety of interesting information in a highly well-organized fashion. In particular, the incorporation of different types of calculations, such as HOMO/LUMO diagrams, stacked Laplacian electron density graph and contour plot of electron density, significantly enriched the presentation of this Wikipage. The ChemDraw figures and data tables served as very informative supplements to the discussions in text. I particularly appreciate the color coding in the ChemDraw figures, which made them easy to follow. Below, I will focus on discussing some suggestions for further polishing this page:
• Regarding the links to other Wiki pages: I would recommend incorporating more links for concepts that may be unfamiliar for a general audience (such as "X-ray crystallography", "infra-red spectroscopy", "dimethoxyethane", "congener", "nucleophilicity", "Brönsted base", etc). Links serve to aid readers when they run into unfamiliar concepts, thus it would be more helpful to focus on creating links for technical concepts like the ones I listed above, instead of some of the relatively basic terminologies (such as "synthesis", "chemical formula" etc). In addition, in the "Attack by O" section, please make sure to link "hard" to the "HSAB theory" Wikipage, as this adjective can be particularly confusing in the context for readers who are not familiar with the HSAB theory.
• Regarding formatting: Consistency throughout the Wikipage can be improved by making the ChemDraw figures roughly uniform in size-please note that Figure 5 is much smaller than the rest of the ChemDraw figures. In addition, Figure 6 is also a bit too small, making the labeling on the axis difficult to read.
• Regarding the language usage: I wouldn't recommend using relatively informal languages such as "as you vary E" (Varying E section, sentence 1) for the Wikipage. Instead, languages along the lines of "as E is varied" would be preferable in this type of writing. In addition, some sentences are a bit too long, and may be better broken into two separate sentences to make them easier to follow. For example: "populating antibonding orbitals usually suggests the breaking of a bond and thus the fact that the energy value associated with this donation is seen to increase down the group (see Table 1) reflects the increasing resonance weight towards the ketene isomers" (Varying E section, sentence 5).
• Regarding citations: In addition to putting down citations in text, I would recommend incorporating citations also directly within Table 1 and Table 2, as these tables are presenting data from literature.
• Others: Please fix some minor typos. (e.g. "analysis" in "Ambidentate nature of the anion" section; "utilize" and "predict" in the "Synthetic building blocks" section)

ArbCom 2019 election voter message
[edit] | Hello! Voting in the 2019 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 on Monday, 2 December 2019. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate in the 2019 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add |
The file File:Resonance forms of NCO and PCO.png has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
unused, low-res, no obvious use
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:01, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
