Suggestions

Looks like you are keen to edit Wikipedia. Welcome. Here are some suggestions for new editors:

start with small edits to get a measure of how your approach is received.
if you contemplate major additions, mention your plans on the Talk page of the article to get feedback and then allow a day or three for other editors to respond. If you have a major overhaul in mind, communicate to the project talk pages, such as Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Chemistry.
remember that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a technical journal. We are not looking to accumulate all references or all sorts of details. The aim is to present an overview. Hence the emphasis is on general references (WP:SECONDARY), and the standards are especially high for anything biomedical (WP:MEDRS).

Good luck, --Smokefoot (talk) 17:11, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Inferior edits will be removed, so be cautious. If you have plans for major edits, it is helpful announce such plan on the talk pages, explaining goals. --Smokefoot (talk) 13:39, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

We have added out intentions to the Chemistry Talk page.

Some advice on editing

I noticed you describing who discovered what in the history section. This should not be done; see this section in the manual of style for chemistry. You should also read the entire manual of style for chemistry to make sure you are writing the article well.

For citations use citation style 1 templates as the article needs to conform to one style. The cite journal and cite book templates should be useful. If there is an ISBN for a book it should be given. Galobtter^{Talk to me!} 04:11, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please be more careful

Wikipedia welcomes editors but the standards are high in chemistry. If you anticipate adding a lot of material, describe your intentions on the relevant talk pages, such as talk:macrocyclic ligand, talk:macrocycle, or talk:satraplatin. Wikipedia focuses on general information, not details, not editor's opinions, and not advice. We avoid medical information unless the sources meet the standards of WP:MEDRS. --Smokefoot (talk) 12:03, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
