Correct, semantic quotation markup edit
I used correct, semantic quotation markup in the section on the RSC's blue plaques. Twice now, this has been removed, with no explanation given ("Quote can go inline" is no more an explanation than "I can make this edit"). I have restored it.

Discovery vs invention edit
It is wrong to say that Ibuprofen was "discovered", because it was invented by an inventor. The article invention of the Wikipedia goes: an invention is a unique or novel device, method, composition or process. In contrary, "discovery" relates to an existing thing e.g. South Pole.
I believe well-informed readers are aware of this fact.
So, my correction sholud be restored.--Linkoman (talk) 12:10, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
Formatting error edit
I'm not familiar with editing infoboxes but there is a formatting errorr: Error in template * unknown parameter name (Template:Infobox_drug): 'pregnancy_US; pregnancy_US_comment' (See parameter list).

Covid-19 section edit
The section concerning the use of Ibuprofen to treat Covid-19 should be removed since the information is of dubious value and presents no peer reviewed study that has been published in a reputable scientific journal. Dr. Morbius (talk) 17:48, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
