Chemistry articles edit

Dear talk:Valeg96: Welcome to Wikipedia. Looks like you enjoy editing chemistry articles. I amended some of your recent work because I figured you might not be so familiar with our guidelines. The main guidelines are WP:NOTMANUAL and WP:SECONDARY. These mean, respectively, that we do not give procedural tips and that we rely on books and reviews for most references. I confess to being skeptical about the usefulness of methods from a 1949 lab manual, but it is a nifty source in some respects. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. --Smokefoot (talk) 22:46, 13 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Actually, the content you added was welcome. Characteristic of Wikipedia, virtually anyone's contributions would be trimmed or amended, so dont be bothered by the fact that we have a lot of guidelines. Speaking as a chemist, routes to common compounds seem pretty central. It's just that the content is not supposed to sound like a textbook or a how-to manual. Happy editing. --Smokefoot (talk) 13:04, 15 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
