License tagging for Image:Shana chart.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Shana chart.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 13:06, 2 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Re: hyperconjugation

edit

Thanks for making substantial additions to hyperconjugation. A couple of things you should be aware of:

  • In section headings, we usually write in lowercase, and we do not use blue links - we use those in the text. See Wikipedia:Manual of style.
  • As you see from the messages above, you need to provide a clear indication when you upload an image that either you hold the rights to that image, or you are using it under non-free content criteria. It looks like you need to fill in that information.

If you'd like to chat about these issues or about chemistry, leave me a note on my talk page. Crystal whacker (talk) 19:08, 2 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Your class edits

edit

Welcome to wikipedia. It has been noticed by several wikipedia editors that you are editing chemistry articles as part of a graduate class in physical organic chemistry. This is not forbidden on wikipedia. Indeed it is a valuable educational exercise which some of us encourage. However, it does raise some issues. In particular, issues have been flagged on some of your user pages about images that have been uploaded. They need to be edited to meet wikipedia policies. You also need to be fully aware of all the wikipedia policies and guidelines and this can often be difficult and confusing for new users. You need to seek someone on wikipedia who can act as a mentor to assist you. Could you please let your instructor know of this message that I am going to add to the talk pages of all the students in the class that we are aware of? I can be contacted on my talk page. I am a retired chemistry academic, although not in your specialty. I am a quantum computational chemist. I am an experienced wikipedian and wikipedia administrator. I am willing to help you. However, I am in Australia, so may be asleep when you are editing. I am also not really an expert on images on wikipedia. Concerns about your edits were raised on my talk page. I am going to move that discussion to the talk page of the WikiProject Chemistry at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Chemistry#Looks like a graduate chemistry class is editing my favorite articles. Please comment there and I am sure some others will offer to help you. --Bduke (Discussion) 22:27, 9 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

About referencing ...

edit

I also am a regular editor in Wiki-chem area and ask that you please pass this message on to the other groups in your class: References in articles ideally should include article titles and DOI's (for journals) or ISBN's for books. It takes a little practice to find these numbers but they're there in the tables of contents for most on-line journals. Also, my own policy is to avoid primary literature except when the report describes a discovery or a "first." Otherwise, reviews and books are preferred reference types. Wikipedia's aim is not to compete with or replicate Chemical Reviews, Progress in ..., Comprehensive ..., etc., it's supposed to provide an overview like, well, a real encyclopedia (only more chaotic!). Good luck with your school project.--Smokefoot (talk) 13:43, 10 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of File:Shana paint.png

edit
 

The file File:Shana paint.png has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unused, low-res, no obvious use

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 files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

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

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:01, 30 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
