Hi

I'm not so much of a chemistry expert but this was somewhat informative. Ferrocene was most helpful. Could you explain the other examples more in plain text? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.246.116.61 (talk) 01:29, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Sure I'd be happy to. It may take me some time because I'm going away for a little over a week, and I would want to phrase things correctly while keeping it simple enough. Could you be more specific? What sentences are too wordy? Trytowearasmileeveryday (talk) 12:32, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 25

Hi. When you recently edited Jemmis mno rules, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Vertices (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thanks for letting me know. The link was unintended and has been removed.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:24, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Editing chemistry pages

Hi I see that you are helping or trying to help with Wikipedia. If you are "not so much of a chemistry expert " you probably want to edit in another part of Wikipedia. Ask around for advice before editing. Much of your (and your fellow students') work so far has not been at our standard, but we understand that you are still learning your chemistry.

Hi Smokefoot,

I really appreciate your feedback. I'm not sure who read my page that wasn't 'so much of a chemistry expert'- I assume your comment was for them. I expect my page to edited/corrected as this is my first time posting on wikipedia. As you can see above on my talk page I tried to further understand what it was that I could change about my page to improve it to wikipedia's standards. Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Trytowearasmileeveryday (talk) 14:31, 27 April 2012 (UTC) I really appreciate your feedback.

You need to tell your teacher or instructor to interact with the editors at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Chemistry. Your class is submitting articles that are generally too long, too specialized, have lousy artwork, and poor and incomplete referencing. We know that you have to do your homework but you are placing a large burden on others to do your cleanup. Just write short things for existing article and feel your way. You do not have enough grasp of the area to contribute at the level you are currently trying for. No one would, so its not your fault. You are just being too ambitious jumping into a relatively sophisticated encyclopedia with massive articles on narrow topics. Most of your work will be removed, probably (if it hasnt already). Dont feel bad, its a learning process - start small like anything new! Cheers, --Smokefoot (talk) 16:00, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Oh, please ignore my previous edit summary - I have an autocompletion problem sometimes. --Smokefoot (talk) 16:11, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Smokefoot- This wasn't a 'homework assignment.' I created the article Jemmis mno rules because I was surprised that it wasn't on Wikipedia, and the rules had been established for about ~10 years. I know that my article is far from perfect- which is why I absolutely expect it to be edited heavily- at least I have started the page. I'm sorry that you find my artwork lousy, my references incomplete, and my article too specialized. Could you give me constructive criticism on specifics on what I could fix to improve theses issues in my article? I realize that I have lots to learn, as do we all, and I'm trying develop as a professional in my field (biochemistry/inorganic chemistry).

Blending with polyhedral skeletal electron pair theory

I saw your suggestion - great idea. I recommend this blending to give one better article. The combine article would be more useful to readers. Great idea.--Smokefoot (talk) 15:05, 28 April 2012 (UTC) Thanks Smokefoot! Now how to blend it- I feel it should have it's own section in the article and maybe keep the best examples with it....I'll talk more on the talk page.Trytowearasmileeveryday (talk) 15:17, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

I will show you how. You might find that the intro's to the two articles can be merged somewhat. And ask someone else to do select drawings. BTW here is a good guideline: WP:SECONDARY - the advice being to emphasize reviews and books for your references. Good luck and thanks for being interactive. --Smokefoot (talk) 15:42, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
