Carbon tetraiodide

Hi Plantman, I'd like to explain why I reverted your edit to Carbon tetraiodide. Whether CI₄ is organic or inorganic is something of a grey area. Some chemists require a compound to have a C–H bond or a C–C bond to be considered organic, whereas others do not. This is discussed at Tetrahalomethane and Organic compound#Modern classification and ambiguities. It is not unreasonable to consider CI₄ as inorganic, even if not everyone agrees. For that reason, I think it's better to keep it in Category:Inorganic carbon compounds as this helps people find the article. If you want the article to discuss the ambiguity, the best thing is to start a thread on the talk page and notify WT:CHEM.

Hi Ben

Thanks for the message, I'll keep it in mind. Plantman (talk) 17:37, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Link to Mike Hunt on Gag name

I note your edit summary on Gag name removing the tag "disambiguation needed". If the link to Mike Hunt is meant to link to a specific person then please link to their article - if a link to the disambiguation is best then please follow the format at WP:INTDAB.— Rod ^talk 12:55, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Beryllium nitride, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Base. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Sodium bisulphite

Hello, some time ago you removed my picture of sodium bisulfite claiming that it is not a valid substance because it can only exist in a solution. I found it strange because I wouldn't have mistakenly photographed a substance. So today I went in lab to look for the original bottle from which I took it. I found the bottle, it's a bit old, but it's labeled as "sodium sulfite - acidic (NaHSO₃); pure." So I wanted to ask you for some possible explanations (not just because of removing MY photo, but also from a professional standpoint). If you would be so kind, could you also provide a source for your claim that sodium bisulfite occurs only in solutions? I apologize, but I'm currently only a high school-level chemist and especially I don't have expertise in inorganic chemistry. Thank you # Milda_444. Milda 444 (talk) 23:58, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

Apologies Milda, I used an unreliable source for my revert. You are right and I'll undo the edit Plantman (talk) 21:23, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for your honest work. With best regards. Milda 444 (talk) 09:08, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
