Matchbox: Emergency Patrol moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Matchbox: Emergency Patrol, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

hi

hello Kenny 1111 (talk) 14:55, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hello, Michael7604. Thank you for creating Thunderbolt (siren). User:Trainsandotherthings, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

This siren appears notable, but the article needs more citations. I've found sources at https://www.ksn.com/weather/weather-stories/storm-track-3-historical-tornado-siren-significance-marking-70-years/ and https://www.mprnews.org/story/2010/08/17/tornado-sirens - I'm going to mark this as reviewed since it clears GNG and I don't see any major policy issues

Disambiguation link notification for November 15

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited C15H14O, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Diphenylacetone. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

AfC vs non-AfC draft space work

While I appreciate the desire to use the draft space to initially create articles, if you don't want to go through the AfC process, then don't put the AfC tags on the draft. :) And definitely don't then submit it for review. :D Anyway, since you did do all of that, it was easier for me to use the AFCH tool to do the move after manually deleting the redirect that was in the way, instead if the manual move I would have had to do from RM/TR... and then the cleanup of the AFC tags and such... Anyway, good job on the article. I updated the benzyl bromide article to have a similar "distinguish" tag on it. UtherSRG (talk) 19:51, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Reference URLs

Obviously I love science content with cited refs. But please do not include |url= fields for doi.org. The |doi= field already creates that link in a more standard way and the template sometimes has a different default link for the article-title. DMacks (talk) 23:49, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Template:Year in 'country' change

Hello Michael7604, I hope you're doing well 🙂 I recently reverted two edits you made to the Template:Year in the United States. All of these templates should have a pretty standard formatting: being a link to the country's history first, a timeline of their history (if available) second, and finally a list of years of that country. For clarity sake, I tend to not shorten these links so its clear what they link to, but I am willing to discuss that with you. Also, as far as I'm aware, no 'year' in United States politics and government article exists, and I really don't think one should, because if a government policy isn't notable enough to make it onto the main 'year' in the United States article, it probably shouldn't have it's own wiki page. I do want to give credit where it is due though, and thank you for making that great looking year in U.S. territories template, and putting it on every year in the United States page- it looks great! Sorry for the long message, I couldn't think of a way to shorten it, cheers! Johnson524 13:53, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

Nomination for deletion of Template:Decades in the United States

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Decade in region templates

A tag has been placed on Category:Decade in region templates indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz ^Read! Talk! 21:27, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Category:Name organic reactions

Thanks for working on diffusing Category:Name reactions! This subcategory is obvious one that is viable from lit sources, not just WP editors' concepts. But the major refs I find, such as doi:10.1002/9780470638859 and doi:10.1016/C2021-0-02076-9, all seem to use the phrase organic name reaction not name organic reaction. Any objection to renaming the subcat to Category:Organic name reactions? DMacks (talk) 19:37, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

I think that's a good idea, same for Category:Name inorganic reactions to Category:Inorganic name reactions. and while we are on renaming categories, Category:Chemical reactions of ethers should be shortened to Category:Reactions of ethers Michael7604 (talk) 20:00, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

I can handle the name-reaction renames easily enough. Good idea to CFD the ethers (Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 January 13#Category:Chemical reactions of ethers) as a good test case of a potentially large set. DMacks (talk) 20:12, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

Looks like we're supposed to go through CFD (not speedy) for those others also. I'll file them momentarily... DMacks (talk) 20:17, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

Aryl

You might ask around, but in my world, pyridyl is not an aryl. IUPAC implies as much. March, which is the bible for most of us, repeatedly refers to aryl, but invariably as a derivative of phenyl. I'm guessing that most organic chemists would object to pyridyl being aryl. Org. Syn, an open-source series overseen by the organic cognoscenti, refers to aryl >500x. A quick spot check of Org Syn again indicates that aryl is used exclusively as phenyl derivatives. --Smokefoot (talk) 13:42, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

If you scroll down through this long article in OS, there is an example where a high powered organic chemist distinguishes aryl vs heteroaryl (i.e. pyridyl etc). http://www.orgsyn.org/demo.aspx?prep=v98p0068. You might consider creating a subsection in aryl group on "heteroaryl".--Smokefoot (talk) 21:33, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

Why are you changing headers?

I am not sure I understand your rationale for removing the standard talk page header as you appear to be doing on many, many pages, without adding an explanation in the edit info. Is this something that has been discussed somewhere? If so please provide the link. If not, I think it will need to be discussed before widespread changes are made. Ldm1954 (talk) 19:56, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

I added the talk page headers myself, then realized later they aren't necessary because these are not high profile pages, so replaced them with {{archives}}. See the page Template:Talk header: "This template should be placed in accordance with talk page guidelines. This template does not need to be placed on every talk page, and should not be indiscriminately added to talk pages using automated editing tools. Talk pages that are frequently misused, that attract frequent debate, articles often subject to controversy, articles that typically attract new editors, and highly-visible or popular topics may be appropriate for this template." Michael7604 (talk) 19:57, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Ok,

N.B., personally I prefer the bar under the assessment header instead of the side box, but that is just my preference. Ldm1954 (talk) 20:19, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
