It looks like you don't actually need much help. I'll just point out that you can use {{Userspace draft}} to keep Google out of your draft pages, and you might want to check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemistry. Cheers, Melchoir (talk) 04:26, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A pointer or two!

Hi there. Good work on your first article, it sure is looking comprehensive! Couple of points about references:

References go either at the end of the sentence or immediately after some punctuation. See this for further information.
Refs should also not have spaces before them or inbetween them...
To refer to a previously named reference, you do not need to include a separate close-ref tag, as you were: <ref name="Foo"></ref> - you can simple close the original tag: <ref name="Foo"/>
One last point - when you use a sandbox to create a page, you should move it into article space, not copy the whole page and paste it into a new page. This maintains the page's history, which can be useful for various reasons.

Cheers, and keep up the good work! Nik thestoned 11:01, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
