User talk:Iriidium

Greetings from the online ambassador

Hello

Welcome to Wikipedia, I hope you enjoy your time here and choose to stay. I am an online ambassador for your course, so I will be available to help you out with Wikipedia editing, but not in person. If you want my attention you can email me at Special:EmailUser/Graeme Bartlett or talk to me at User talk:Graeme Bartlett. I am from Australia, in the timezone which is 11 hours ahead of UTC, so I will be awake while you sleep. I have been making some chemistry articles myself lately such as 2,4-Dinitroanisole and borinic acid. Since you are actually studying Chemistry I expect you will be much more knowledgeable than me.

Your sandbox

I have moved your sandbox back to User:Iriidium/sandbox. One question I had was the scope of your writing. Wikipedia has no article called Borylation so we could do with a general write up on this too. However your topic is Metal-catalyzed C-H borylation, a narrower term. Do you want to just stick with your narrow scope, or add a few more general sentences on Borylation? If you enable email with an email address we can communicate by email, but that is entirely up to you. PS I think your username is great! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:42, 29 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello!

Thanks for the advice. One thing I was not sure about with Borylation is how the scientific community defines it. I'm not sure if Borylation applies to all reactions that incorporate boron into a molecule, or if it just applies to metal-catalyzed reactions, so I stuck with the narrower term. There is also a page called organoboron chemistry that would overlap quite a bit if I included a more general write up. Also, I have enabled email but haven't quite figured out how to use email on Wikipedia yet. Feel free to email me. I greatly appreciate the advice! --Iriidium (talk) 13:47, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Borylation

On 30 November 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Borylation, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that metal-catalyzed C-H borylation reactions are useful reactions for carbon-hydrogen bond activation? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Borylation. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

File:Nathaniel Szymczak.png

Hello, you have uploaded a picture on commons called commons:File:Nathaniel Szymczak.png. It says that the author is Nathaniel Szymczak, but did this person really take a picture of hiemself? And how come you have the authority to upload this to the wiki? Are you actually this person? (you will have to out your identity if you are). The last issue is what is the license, If you took the picture and own the copyright then you can grant a free license such as CC-BY-SA-3.0. Then with this license you can specify an attribution with your real name or user such as Iriidium or something else if you wish. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:16, 30 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
