Rationale behind your recent chem articles

[edit]

I noticed that you are writing chemistry-related articles. Welcome and I invite you to consult other editors to get a feel for this theme. I admit to being puzzled by the selection articles that you are originating. NiCl2(en)2 (the tris is more common) and [Cr(CN)6]4- (the trianion is far more common) are pretty obscure species, and I dont see the point of starting an article on [PtCl4]2- since we already have a nice article on K2PtCl4. You are not supplying any information on why these species are in the least notable, some modicum is expected. Several editors, me included, are keen to start articles on under-appreciated chemical species, but we include a reference to its use or reactions or why people might care. The fact that a species exists, is barely motivation. Even by my archane standards, your selection is strange. So I invite you to share your plans or concept for chemistray articles. If you are just looking for coordination compounds to write about, I would suggest the classic Werner complexes such as cis- and trans-[CoCl2(en)2]Cl, [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2, [Co(NH3)4Cl2]Cl, [Co(NH3)4(CO3)]NO3. Also I recommend starting articles on compounds not ions - the ion can be redirected to the entire salt. The 'Chembox' is simpler to complete for compounds since one can find a fuller sets of data on compounds vs ions.--Smokefoot (talk) 04:34, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! A few more suggestions:
WP Chemistry manual of style: WP:CHEMMOS - the new version is still being drafted, but the current version is still very relevant. Do take a look before you proceed. Among other things, only chemical compounds get chemboxes; ions don't. The naming convention you used (tetrachloroplatinate II) seems strange as well. It should be tetrachloroplatinate(II) if anything, though I too don't think this ion is significant to have an article of its own. Lastly, wikipedia itself should never be used as a reference, like you did here. Do drop me a note if you need any help. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 08:48, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

[edit]

Hello Integralolrivative! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 279 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Replaceable fair use File:James blake.png

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:James blake.png. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. 20:29, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
