DYK nomination[edit]

Hi... After discussion with user MichChemGSI, I have nominated the article isolobal principle for the 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#Isolobal principle. 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

Thanks for your contribution to Wikipedia... I hope you decide to register a stand-alone account and continue to contribute. Regards, EdChem (talk) 11:58, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Isolobal principle[edit]

On 23 December 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Isolobal principle, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Roald Hoffmann's development of the isolobal principle helped him earn the 1981 Nobel Prize in Chemistry? 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.

Thanks ... could you spare some time to get the QYK queues packed with hooks? Victuallers (talk) 12:03, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What does QYK stand for? Thanks! MichChemGSI (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:18, 23 December 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Hi MichChemGSI... first, QYK is a typo, it should be DYK... second, the request is about preparing new updates, and should only be directed to more experienced DYK contributors – you and the students don't have the experience for a task like populating the DYK queues and prep areas with hooks, so my suggestion is that you disregard this request.

oh! ok, no problem. I wasn't sure since it was written on their talk page. These students also seem to be on vacation and sadly not responding to emails at the moment, so i thought i'd follow up with things that needed to be done. Thanks for clarifying! again, i can't express how thankful and how much I appreciate all of your help! MichChemGSI (talk) 18:36, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
