Talk:Acetic Anhydride

message: The Good article nomination for  has failed for the following reason:
:Needs more
Needs more
This is a nice basic introduction to the topic, perfect for a beginner in the subject.  However it does lack depth, detail and good examples, IMHO.   How is cellulose acetate made with it (the major use).  What about its instability in presence of acid? (I've had it explode all over me once before, not nice!).  The article says that "an aqueous solution cannot exist" yet some books list it as soluble - can you confirm that it reacts instantaneously?  If it reacts only slowly (at first) then maybe solutions are possible for short periods.  Could we have some examples of its use in synthesis, for example in the Pummerer rearrangement or as a standard quench in the Julia-Lythgoe olefination?  Other reactions could include acetylation of amines. As for preparation, is the prep shown the usual method, and if so can we have some conditions?  To a beginner it would seem very odd that it reacts so easily with water yet the reverse reaction is how it's made!  I had thought it was made by adjusting the water content in the Monsanto process such that the acetyl iodide intermediate was quenched by acetic acid rather than by water - can anyone confirm that?  There is also the old ketene method of preparation, isn't that worth mentioning too?  These are not really criticisms, more a "to-do list", and I'm sure others could add much more.

An endless string of movie programmes does nothing to improve the encyclopedia. First, the calibre or encyclopedic value of those films is in no way contingent on the fact that they were screened at the Butt-Numb-A-Thon. Second, we have a perfectly respectable "films that have been shown include... guests have included..." section.

Talk:Ed Seykota

message: The article uses subjective language and makes unqualified assertions about Seykota's success and personal qualities. Phrases like "Much of Seykota's success was attributed to his development and utilization of computerized trading systems" and "Another aspect of his success was his genuine love for trading and his optimistic demeanour" are subjective and promotional.
The article highlights Seykota's achievements and innovations without providing a critical analysis or contrasting viewpoints from other experts in the field.
There are references to specific works and events, such as his book "The Trading Tribe" and Jack D. Schwager's "Market Wizards," but there is a lack of diverse sources to corroborate the claims made in the article. This reliance on limited sources biases the article. The article references his influence and contributions but does not cite external evaluations or independent sources for a neutral assessment.
The article also includes personal anecdotes, such as Seykota's emotional support group for traders. These details seem irrelevant. The focus on Seykota's methods and personal philosophy degrades the neutrality of the article.
Claims about Seykota's influence and status, such as being "one of the best traders of our time," are not sufficiently backed by independent evidence or comparative analysis. The article lacks detailed references to verify some of the statements, reducing the credibility and neutrality of the content. Meleager91 (talk) 12:44, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Minamoto no Yoritomo

message: In this article, it states that (1) Yoshitomo supported Go-Shirakawa and Michinori, and (2) Nobuyori supported Nijo and Kiyomori. The first claim seems to be at odds with other Wikipedia articles, while the second seems to be incorrect.
The first claim is supported by the main article on Nobuyori. In the second paragraph of that article, it states that the Minamoto supported Go-Shirakawa against Emperor Nijo. However, in the third paragraph of that same article, it states that the Minamoto abducted Go-Shirakawa and killed his chief councilor Michinori. Okay, so which is it? Did he support him or not?
The main article on Minamoto no Yoshitomo never states that Yoshitomo and Nobuyori supported Go-Shirakawa, but just says they abucted him and killed Minchinori (implying they didn't support Go-Shirakawa). However, the article does state explicitly that Taira no Kiyomori fought in SUPPORT OF Go-Shirakawa (contrary to what it says in the second paragraph of this article on Nobuyori).
Lastly, the main article on the Heiji Rebellion again doesn't explicitly state Yoshitomo's and Nobuyori's support for anyone, but it seems to imply that Kiyomori allied himself to both Go-Shirakawa and Nijo.
So what's the real story? Was it just that Nobuyori and Yoshitomo attempted a coup d'etat over the Taira and the imperial court of Nijo and Go-Shirakawa? Or was there really a two-sided rivarlry between Nijo and Go-Shirakawa, and did Yoshitomo and Nobuyori really support Go-Shirakawa? And if so, what are the unstated details of what happened--why did Yoshitomo and Nobuyori turn on Go-Shirakawa and Michinori?
If someone knows these answers, can they go through and clean up the confusion on those articles mentioned here?
