thread_title:  anyone use this? 

message: Back in 2008 an editor (no other edits) added a number of putative intermetallic compounds/alloys of cerium, erbium, lanthanum and yttrium, with (I infer) non-stoichometric formulae. Are these (all) real? and should they be in this list? Lavateraguy (talk) 19:59, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Make the list into a table 

message: This list seems to be organized by atomic symbol, instead of an alphabetical list of compounds. I don't understand why water would then be categorized under W. To me it seems that organization by atomic symbol instead of the spelling would place water under H instead of W (the symbol for tungsten, since water consists of hydrogen and oxygen (and in its chemical name dihydrogen monoxide, hydrogen comes first).

thread_title:  Other compounds 

message: What are the inclusion criteria for this list article? Is it "has bluelink" (making this page a directory of other WP articles), or the lower bar "chemical actually exists" (with enough ref to find notability sufficient that an article could be written), or at least "has been studied theoretically" (again, with ref sufficient for stub-article), or simply "writing a cation and anion to make a formula"?
