replies: text: I think this part is contested at this point, some citations (ie. NYT) say that he died on Saturday (Aug 7th) and some (ie. Rolling stone) say he died on Friday. Both should be quite reputable news agencies, I think it's best to leave it as is, or if you want to change it I think changing the infobox, the citation, and the death date in the lead would be best.

replies: text: I had changed it to "6th or 7th", and I see User:Hostagecat changed that to just "7th". I think that probably is correct, but I have no strong opinion on whether we should note both or use an amount of editorial discretion to say, "Eh, some of the sources probably said 'Friday' because it was very early Saturday morning."On a related note, @Hostagecat and  I've removed the cause of death because it was poorly-sourced, and I don't see anyone saying this that I'd consider a reliable source. See my edit summary. biographies of recently-deceased people are held to a high standard on sourcing, especially as concerns potentially sensitive causes of death. (Noting also, as above, that primary sources are generally not sufficient for claims like these.) There's no harm in waiting until there's more clarity among sources. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed]  (she/they) 16:09, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Leuckart reaction

message: This article has recently been edited by students as part of their course work for a university course.  As part of the quality metrics for the education program, we would like to determine what level of burden is placed on Wikipedia's editors by student coursework.
If you are an editor of this article who spent time correcting edits to it made by the students, please tell us how much time you spent on cleaning up the article.  Please note that we are asking you to estimate only the negative effects of the students' work.  If the students added good material but you spent time formatting it or making it conform to the manual of style, or copyediting it, then the material added was still a net benefit, and the work you did improved it further.  If on the other hand the students added material that had to be removed, or removed good material which you had to replace, please let us know how much time you had to spend making those corrections. This includes time you may have spent posting to the students' talk pages, or to Wikipedia noticeboards, or working with them on IRC, or any other time you spent which was required to fix problems created by the students' edits. Any work you did as a Wikipedia Ambassador for that student's class should not be counted.
Please rate the amount of time spent as follows:
* 0 -No unproductive work to clean up
* 1 - A few minutes of work needed
* 2 - Between a few minutes and half an hour of work needed
* 3 - Half an hour to an hour of work needed
* 4 - More than an hour of work needed
Please also add any comments you feel may be helpful. We welcome ratings from multiple editors on the same article. Add your input here. Thanks! -- LiAnna Davis (WMF) (talk) 20:48, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

message: I've found a reference showing that the first step of a synthesis of ephedrine is the one described in the article. . However, I'm unsure if it's appropriate, since in ephedrine the only synthesis described is a biochemical one, and this use is not even described in benzaldehyde (i.e. I don't know if this is a major use of benzaldehyde). I'm also confused by the citation needed tag.

Talk:Wedgwood Baptist Church shooting

message: The fact that he was in the Phineas Priesthood should be front and center - they objected on Christian Identity grounds to a specific Baptist policy of trying to convert Jews. Another "Phineas Priest" was Buford Furrow who shot up a Jewish daycare center. The Phineas Priests tie religion to racism explicitly, so the motivation was at least partly both racist and religious. This was covered by the Houston Chronicle (9/16/99) and by the LA Times (9/18/99 - http://articles.latimes.com/1999/sep/18/news/mn-11519/2). Martyrdom while killing the racial and religious enemy is part of the ideology of the Phineas Priests.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarionADelgado (talk • contribs) 11:47, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Unbalanced lede? 

message: :
In general the description are evolving in time because is often difficult to sustain all the chemical facts observed in a reaction.
This sentence which you have added to the intro is very unclear. 
Did you mean (1) that the atomic positions are evolving in time, which is true but does not seem relevant to the end of the sentence, or (2) that scientists' ideas on the mechanism of many reactions are evolving in time, which is also true but can be said about most scientific problems. Could you explain further please? Dirac66 (talk) 16:05, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Well I'm trying to say that the detailed steps of a reactions couldn't in most cases be known so is important to be precise here. The mechanism is a postulate that is chosen because it's thermodynamically more feasible and has experimental support in isolated intermediates or other quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the reaction.

message: Should we try to distinguish among the different types of isomerization, rather than just dumping a bunch of examples? I propose (in no particular order, based on :File:Photoisomerization_.gif among other sources of inspiration for the effects of the changes):
# Single-atom changes
## High/low-spin
## Center-vs-ligand or two-distal-atoms redox?
# Sigma-only changes (mostly related to coordination complexes)
## Octahedral (M/P) and square–planar
## Linkage isomerism
# Pi-only changes (E/Z)
# Pericyclic reactions (see that article for a table of different subtypes...probably have photo variants of most of them)

Talk:Osaka school massacre

message: This article states that the Osaka School Massacre is the 3rd deadliest mass killing modern Japans history behind the Tokyo Sarin Gas attack and the Sagamihara stabbings.
However there are two mass killings this page does not take into account.  The first is the Myojo 56 building fire.  An unsolved arson attack that left 44 people dead.  
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myojo_56_building_fire
The second being another arson attack in an Osaka movie theater that left at least 15 dead.  Oddly enough, this one doesn't even have a Wikipedia article.  I think it deserves one despite the limited information on it.

Talk:Homolysis (chemistry)

message: There are many more reagents than those listed that are capable of initiating a homolytic cleavage or otherwise being involved with radical chemistry.  Atmospheric oxygen is probably the best example; many chemists are aware of the slow reaction that occurs between any ether with hydrogens alpha to the ether oxygen and atmospheric oxygen.  The process produces highly explosive organic peroxides, or even polymers of such compounds.  It is, and always has been, a major hazard in the chemical industry in any situation where susceptible ethers find utility.  It makes distillation, purification, and evaporation of ethers very dangerous.  Waste handling of ethers is, also, a dangerous and regulated procedure in many cases.  In fact, most ethers (especially diethyl ether) are supplied with radical scavenging compounds like butylatedhydroxytoluene (BHT), making it necessary for chemists to explicitly prepare/purify certain ethers before they are used in reactions or purifications/workups. Azo linkages can undergo homolytic cleavage, and one of the (previously; no longer due to explosive hazards) more widely used laboratory scale radical polymerization initiators, azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN), contains such a linkage.  Various halogens and halogenated hydrocarbons readily cleave to form radical species of varying stability.  These are the compounds that are responsible for the breakdown of ozone, and it is a series of radical reactions (some catalyzed by the halogenated species) that cause this breakdown, especially in the presence of nitrogen crystals.  Various inorganic species, including a fairly wide variety of D-block metal species, are known to undergo a whole range of radical reactions in solution or upon surfaces.  Sulfur compounds are also notorious for their radical chemistry and this very behavior has been utilized in the field of controlled living radical polymerization as catalytic chain transfer and inhibitor species that help chemists control the distribution of products in such a polymerization reaction.184.189.220.114 (talk) 06:11, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

This line is extremely misleading. H3O+ + NO3- is just a way of saying nitric acid dissolved in water. It’s also not really showing how it’s actually being transformed from nitric acid to the conjugate base which is usually along the lines of HNO3 + MOH -> H2O + MNO3 where M is an alkali metal usually sodium or potassium.
