Thanks for invitation. I have one question. I have data for chemicals as solubility or density available for temperature 20 °C, but in chembox is standard as of 25 °C. Is that OK to omit this temperature or should I still add a note about it? Tomaxer 12:20, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Although the difference in solubity and density at 20 vs 25 is not going to be significant, it would be best to just note the deviation from standard temp. For a density, just enter something like "1.043 g/cm3 at 20 °C" - there's an example at Butyl_butyrate. --Ed (Edgar181) 14:19, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Iduronic acid

Hi Tomaxer, thanks for your addition of an image to the iduronic acid article. Do you think you could draw iduronic acid in the cyclic form? This might be a more representative image. The acyclic form you've drawn and the cyclic form are in equilibrium in solution but as with glucose the cyclic form predominates. The heparin article contains a picture of a cyclic IdoA monosaccharide (see the IdoA-GlcNS or IdoA-GlcNS(6S) pictures). I'm sure you can copy the IdoA part and improve on it!! K.murphy 14:37, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So I've uploaded an image Image:IduronicAcid-chair.png with chair conformation projection of iduronic acid. However, I'm not very familiar with projections of sugars, so I'm not sure, if that structure is drawn correctly. If it is not, please say, what should I repair. Tomaxer 21:19, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Its nearly correct, although at the momment you've drawn glucose. Iduronic acid has a carboxyl group (COOH) at carbon ring position 6. Have a look at the cyclic structure shown in the glucuronic acid article. In glucuronic acid, the COOH group is attached to a carbon (carbon 5) thats also attached to a hydrogen. To turn glucuronic acid into iduronic acid swap the positioning of the COOH group and the hydrogen about carbon 5. Glucuronic acid and iduronic acid are epimers. K.murphy 15:44, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
So, I've changed that image. I replaced CH2OH group by COOH group. I forget it when I was doing that image. I hope it is OK now, because I've got a bit unsure when you mentioned position swapping of the glucuronic acid. And is that image of the acyclic form useful? Tomaxer 17:53, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I was trying really hard not to confuse you, but it looks like I did it anyway!! sorry. Your change has altered glucose to glucuronic acid. At the momment the bond to the COOH is pointing upwards, you need to alter it so its pointing downwards. Personally I don't think the acyclic form is useful but its not doing any harm K.murphy 20:44, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
New version again. Don't worry, I thought, that I should swap that COOH group. This one is a bit higher, because I had problems with overlapping bonds and COOH group. Tomaxer 15:29, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Nice one, the new image will do!! I'll have to learn how to use chemsketch myself K.murphy 13:42, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, finally I did it with your help. That ACD/Chemsketch is a good tool, I think. Working in it is in the main intuitive. If you have some questions about it, you can ask, possibly I could help you with beginning. I've learned working in it myself and some useful things are e.g. F5 (template window), Ctrl+Shift+I (IUPAC name), Tools→Generate menu, holding shift while drawing ("nice" angles, lengths).

Bromoform

I notice you are contributing a lot to haloalkane articles. May I ask where you got the information about the synthesis of bromoform with electrolysis? --Russoc4 16:58, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I found this information in book Small technical encyclopedia (translated), however, this book is from 1959, so it can be not commonly used method of preparation. But if you think, it is incorrect, feel free to remove it. But I did, a long time ago, electrolysis of potassium iodide in alcoholic solution and as far as I remember, there was produced iodoform, so it may be an analogy. However, I don't have strong theoretical chemistry knowledge, so it may be wrong. Tomaxer 17:54, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I know the haloform reaction is the theoretical method, and I myself was investigating possibilities of producing bromine or hypobromite with electrolysis. My guess is that that method would work. I was just curious to know if you have ever been able to produce the compound. Do you have and ISBN of that book? Even though I only speak English. --Russoc4 23:48, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
So, I've found out, that this book has no ISBN, since they started to be assigned in 1966. But it is Andrlík K., Dobrovolný B., Hoch A. A. Malý technický náučný slovník. SNTL (Státní nakladatelství technické literatury = Publishers of Technical Literature), Prague, 1959. I have scanned article about bromoform there and placed it here with translation here. And I don't remember if I have tried to produce it, but I relied on that information in this book. I can try to examine that method. Tomaxer 11:28, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge of "Gaius Iulius Iullus (disambiguation)"

A Dab you created has been under discussion at Talk:Gaius Iulius Iullus (disambiguation), and is slated to be merged into the corresponding article. I am vehement that every WP editor is their own assignment editor, so my purpose in informing you is not to suggest you've any further obligation -- rather, perhaps we can exploit potential efficiencies that would result, IF it you'd like do the move while adding refs for the facts stated in the Dab. Details are at that talk page.
--Jerzy•t 21:01 & 21:15, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks, that sounds great! I'm almost done with Lucius Valerius Flaccus; if you want the history merging like what i did there, i'd be glad to advise and assist. But if you prefer to just avoid it, i certainly understand.
    --Jerzy•t 23:53, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • In theory the GFDL issues are a bit more involved, but i think my concern about it is well beyond what's typical, and you shouldn't worry as long as you're satisfied. Thanks again.
      --Jerzy•t 03:50, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • OK, it says there that you're not an admin, and the crux of a simple history merge is
  1. "deleting" the page at the intended final title,
  2. renaming the other page to that title and "deleting" that page (again!
  3. "undeleting" the page that both deletions were done on,
all three of which require admin status.
You may not want to bother to understand this part: I use the quotation marks above bcz what "delete a page" means is "hide all the revisions of the page from non-admins, by marking each of them as 'deleted'", and you can guess from that what "undeleted" means. And the design, perhaps intentionally, is such that
  1. you can only change a revision's page-name along with all the other revisions of that page (deleted or not), while at least one revision is undeleted,
  2. deletion applies to all revisions, but undeletion is selective: undelete all of the page's revisions, or the specifically specified ones, or all but the specifically specified ones, and
  3. the "revision" attributed to its editor is the whole page that results, not the part that they changed; this is most significant in the context of merging or splitting a page, which often results in some revisions having "last" diffs shown in the resulting history that don't correspond to the changes that that editor made. This is why i do what i did on Talk:Lucius Valerius Flaccus. (FWIW, i took an interest in LVF, Gaius Iulius Iullus (disambiguation), and Marius bcz they are alphabetized in the I-M part of the alphabet and at least pretended to be Dabs, rather than for the glory of Rome!)
My suggestion is this: The merging of the content and the merging of the edit-history, of two (or more) pages, are separate processes. Why don't you edit up the new version, on the page that will end up as a Rdr to the merged page? If you want to do what i did on T:LVF, perhaps as a learning exercise, go ahead with saving the pre-merge images of the histories -- tho by now, i can do it faster (especially using the pop-up tools and something else whose name i can't recall, which gives me a magnifying-glass button and a "cC" button just above the upper left corner of my page-editing pane). I would step in upon your request at that point, and do the history merge per se. You could follow up with the post-merge history image, if you chose, and review to be sure everything in the final result has turned out as you expected, or tweak accordingly.
So let me know if i've finally scared you off, or we can discuss further.
--Jerzy•t 21:28, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Tomaxer, you're a tiger! I'm taking the liberty of adding the seconds on the 2 otherwise apparently simultaneous entries; i think you'll see soon why that'll add clarity. I see no reason against your indeed proceeding with your content merge.
    --Jerzy•t 21:41, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • In progress. BTW, i'm pretty sure i told you that to merge two pages, you have to delete them both. In fact, to merge n pages, only n-1 of them require deletion.
      --Jerzy•t 00:36, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, i think everything requiring admin status is done. I'll leave your "Gaius Iulius Iullus pre-merge history images" to be copied over by you, and thus clearly attributed to you. If you're not fed up with the drudgery, will you do the "image" of the new history as well?
If you spot any problems, let me know. Thanks for taking up the project, and for your overall cooperativeness; nice working with you! I won't promise to solve all your tech problems in the future, but you can figure i'll remember you as a fine colleague, and i do know how to say "sorry, but no" when a particular request seems burdensome.

Iodomethane

Heya Tomaxer

I was wondering about the alkylating agents. I think other alkylating agents should be present in the "see also" section of this article, because MeI *is* a commonly used alkylating agent. What are your thoughts? --Rifleman 82 (talk) 06:02, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I first thought about putting them into the section about MeI as an alkylating agent, but I didn't quickly come up with a way to put them there. Putting that back into the see also section could be a solution, although in my opinion not the best one. Do you have some better idea how to incorporate it in the article (perhaps in the MeI as a methylating agent section)? But if you think that it was good the way it was, feel free to put it back. Thank you for pointing this out. --Tomaxer (talk) 10:11, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it now has problems in that section with a syntactically broken lk, lks that probably should not have become red, apparent PoV or OR, a spelling typo, parenthetical comments that probably go off topic.... I'm gonna poke at the stuff i see; let me know if i miss concerns you had.

Speedy deletion of Ján Móry

A tag has been placed on Ján Móry requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

Active-Stative Languages

---Dear Tomaxer, I hope you get this message. I have reviewed the Active-stative page more carefully and I see that the formatting you prefer has serious problems, but my undoing of your edit did not really improve anything overall. So I apologise for not catching this earlier, however vandalism was not the intent. I had thought the information on Caucasian languages had disappeared. I see instead they have been subordinated under the headline "Siberia", which is of course incorrect, since the Caucasus are some thousands of miles away. On top of this, your current formatting has some languages entered multiple times, and the other main heading has to do with Amerindian languages, under which somehow we find Tibetan. So the whole thing needs reformatting. I may try to do this myself, at which point I hope you will see this message. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.177.236.113 (talk) 15:13, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Methylene iodide

Hi there, I am trying to figure out the reasoning for your adding a list of journal references to methylene iodide]]. I am sure that the gesture is well intentioned, but my understanding is that Wikipedia has no aspirations of competing with Chemical Reviews and other specialized review journals. Rather, the emphasis in WE is on secondary or preferably tertiary (reviews of reviews) like citations. See WP:SECONDARY.--Smokefoot (talk) 20:22, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I added those links trying to provide some information as I used to while adding contents to some halomethane articles I've created. But since I have not known that policy until now and they were usually not deleted, I thought it was OK to add them. So thank you for notifying me of this issue. I'll take care of not adding them in this way. Regards, --Tomaxer (talk) 21:55, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Tomaxer, Could I ask you to please wait until works are actually (a) added for new composers and (b) approved by the copyright review team before adding links on biography pages to IMSLP? In the case of, say, Todor Skalovski, we have no idea whether or not anything would even have been uploaded, let alone permitted. So I'm going to have to revert that edit :-) Thanks, KGill talk email 23:14, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, hello. I must admit I am not acquainted with the internal IMSLP workings and in this case I also must have missed that there were no works by him so thank you for dropping a note and explaining. Moreover regarding these interlinking edits, I plan to start checking links between Wikipedia and IMSLP in near future (as I've done once but only on the Wikipedia side) and I'd like to ask you if you have some suggestions or even whether I should do it. If yes, I'd ask some more details. Regards, --Tomaxer (talk) 00:12, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's a good idea, but keep in mind that recently, all of the composer categories were manually checked (to add nationality) by myself and P.davydov. I made sure that all of the biography links given worked; I'd assume that he checked them out as well, so if I were you I wouldn't worry about it.
As for the 'internal workings', it really isn't a big deal- just see if the category has any pages in it. If there is one, check it to see if there are any files on it that do not have [B] next to the download links. If those conditions are met, you can go ahead :-) Thanks, KGill talk email 16:44, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK then. It looks like that the global check isn't that necessary as of now, so I'll continue with the new pages checking keeping in mind what you said. :-) Thank you. --Tomaxer (talk) 17:12, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fermoselle

I see you did some work on Fermoselle. I'm afraid that someone who got in there before you dumped what appears to be a big copyvio into the article, so I've had to revert it way back to a stub. You may want to go through the article history (and through the source of the copyvio, which I identified on the talk page) and see if you can put something worthwhile back together. - Jmabel | Talk 06:26, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I had a look at that article but it states that it uses Wikipedia as its source. So it looks like that the Wikipedia article could have been the first one. However, regarding the revert, the contents of the article and its (none) sources, it was probably a good idea from the strict point of view. And finally, I stumbled upon this article then only accidentally, I usually don't edit geography-related articles, so I'm probably not the one who should build this article.

I reverted the two edits you made because it made that paragraph look unencyclopedic, you didn't provide any explanation for this edit and also you removed references to that section.

Don't worry about that too much, everyone was a beginner once. I'll try to explain those issues to you. The most problematic was probably the quote you provided. Without being sourced, that passage sounded too narrative. You also introduced a few grammatical problems, I think (however, I'm not native English speaker, so I may be wrong about some): "his request by the Boston police", "to not again perform". Also, in my opinion, you introduced too much details by mentioning Capt. Harvey's name (it is usually discouraged to be too specific; see WP:IINFO). Regarding the sources, you can find some information about "sourcing theory" here and how should citations look like here. Finally, if you plan to work here, I suggest you read WP:TUTOR as a starting point. Regards, --Tomaxer (talk) 10:56, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, About Michèle AUCLAIR, Could you clarify your source for the Légion d'honneur that she would have received in 1995 ? JEFF 18.11.2012 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeffgenealogie (talk • contribs) 07:34, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I tried to look that information up, but unfortunately I was unable to find it. And since the biography link to a booklet is dead, I suspect that I've got the information from there. After some searching on the Internet I couldn't find a mention about it (also I can't read French), so if you believe it's wrong, feel free to delete it. Thank you for noticing. --Tomaxer (talk) 10:31, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Slovakian help needed

Hello Tomaxer, I'm contacting you because we need some Slovakian translators to help with the deployment of the new VisualEditor on sk.wikipedia. There are help pages, user guides, and description pages that need translating, as well as the interface itself. The translating work is going on over on MediaWiki: Translation Central. I also need help with a personal message for the Slovakian Wikipedians. If you are able to help in any way, either reply here, or head over to TranslationCentral. Thanks for your time, PEarley (WMF) (talk) 16:25, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Tetrafluoromethane health risks

This is a courtesy post just to let you know that I've removed a sentence of your content on this article. IMO, this is a health claim that should fall under WP:MEDRS and be underpinned by a solid secondary MEDRS source. TerryE (talk) 12:04, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of TCP and UDP port numbers, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page RPC. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Proposed deletion of F number (chemistry)

The article F number (chemistry) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Can't find any references for this except for the original description, including in my old textbook and in GBooks. This may not have become widely-used and may not meet WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

atmospheric concentration of C2F6

Tomaxer, You gave as a reference [http://www.grida.no/climate/ipcc_tar/wg1/221.htm] for the atmospheric concentration of C2F6 when you created the article on the substance. It is now a dead link. DumZiBoT added the name "Climate Change 2001: The Scientific Basis" on 11 February 2008. I do not find the information that the citation should support in the version of the named source at [http://pubman.mpdl.mpg.de/pubman/item/escidoc:995493/component/escidoc:995492/WG1_TAR-FRONT.pdf]. Can you provide a page location or another source that supports this statement. Thank you, Fartherred (talk) 01:39, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
