Integrate - don't upload (copied message from your sandbox)[edit]

Wikipedia welcomes new editors, but the encyclopedia does not exist as the UTube for school essays. We have exensive series of articles on various aspects of organometallic chemistry, and you hopefully will integrate your work into existing articles. By integration, you probably need to break up this school essay, dumping some of it, and putting useful bits into existing articles such as Migratory insertion, Ziegler–Natta catalyst, hydrogenation, etc. Working well with Wikipedia takes some effort beyond just writing an essay that pleases your teacher: you need to integrate your work within Wikipedia's very large network of articles. Otherwise we'd have a zillion slightly different articles, all poorly edited. BTW, wikipedia-chem wants DOI's for references please.

Response[edit]

All the journal articles save one already had DOI's and that one was just updated. (Books do not have DOI's). This is only the first draft and we have had other PhD students in our class look it over and provide detailed feedback. I would agree that much of the information overlaps with migratory insertion but insertion reactions should probably be merged with migratory insertion since there are many factual errors on the migratory insertion page, the insertion reaction page has no references, the migratory insertion page contains non-existant links, and migratory insertion is a type of insertion reaction (common for carbonyls).

DYK nomination[edit]

Hi... After discussion with user MichChemGSI and fixing the history issue, I have nominated the article insertion reaction for th DYK project. If the nomination is successful, the article will appear on the main page. The nomination can be seen at Template talk:Did you know#insertion reaction. You are welcome to comment or respond to the comments of others, should you wish. For your information, I think the nomination has a good chance but there are a few areas the article could be improved, including:

making the references consistently formatted
make sure that there is at least one reference (inline citation) in every paragraph
fix the image shown below... in this image, there are a mixture of fonts (which looks bad) and a chemical error (which looks really bad) – the central structure on the bottom line shows H₂CH₂CR—Ti which implies a direct bond between the R group and the Ti atom, and a chain with a dangling radical at its end. The structure fragment should, of course, be RCH₂CH₂—Ti

Thanks for your contribution to Wikipedia... I hope you decide to register a stand-alone account and continue to contribute. Regards, EdChem (talk) 11:52, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for all your help. I will try to make the corrections you mentioned but it may be until after the New Year before I can get back to the library to get the sources we were using. Happy holidays. Chem507f10grp3 (talk) 18:28, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Insertion reaction[edit]

On 26 December 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Insertion reaction, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that insertion reactions are integral to the Cativa process, a method used to produce millions of tons of acetic acid annually? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
