Benzene

I dont get it. What is the virtue of the image that you are trying to protect? All ears. --Smokefoot (talk) 01:17, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Just because you think an image is boring doesn't mean that you can just remove it. DFliyerz (talk) 01:30, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

It is absolutely true that just because I dont "think an image is boring doesn't mean that [I} can just remove it". But I explained my reasoning. So we try to reason with each other around here, and I would be glad to explain in greater detail. We often don't show pictures of solid organic compounds because they tend to look alike (white powders). In contrast, that image did not look like an ordinary organic compound, so the image leaves an impression that benzene is somehow a weird, which is, in my opinion, misleading. So that is where I was coming from. Cheers, --Smokefoot (talk) 01:37, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Your logic is, honestly, flawed. You say that pictures of solid organic compounds aren't shown because they look alike, and by that logic since benzene does not look like an ordinary organic compound, people would want to see it since it would defy their expectations. I don't see how it could leave the impression that benzene is weird, and even if it did, benzene is weird! It's an important and unique compound, responsible for many things in modern life. In fact, one would be hard pressed to say that any compound isn't weird. DFliyerz (talk) 01:47, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Ok, I will find a picture of solid powdered benzene and we can see together what it looks like. Glad to see that you are keen on this topic, that kind of approach is what we need in Wiki chem.--Smokefoot (talk) 04:34, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Use G7 speedy deletion tags to delete your own articles

Hello, I've noticed that you have created a page Aluminum metal on accident, and wanted to delete it by placing a PROD tag on your article. There is actually an easier way of doing this, by using the G7 speedy deletion tag. To do this, you can place {{db-g7}} on top of the page (I have already done this for you). The article can then be deleted in a matter of minutes instead of a week. Thanks! Darylgolden^(talk) Ping when replying 00:36, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

While I'm here, I also noticed that you placed your prod tag manually, so I would like to shamelessly promote the semi-automatic tool Twinkle, which allows you to do those things much more easily. To activate it, go to your preferences (on the top right hand corner), choose the gadgets tab, activate Twinkle under the browsing section and save. Thanks again!

It looks good but it's wrong

Organolithium compounds do not have the structures you are submitting to Wikipedia, they are more complicated. Organolithium chemistry should explain. So I would recommend pulling them back. Routine organic compounds can be represented simply, but highly polar species aggregate. It's like drawing NaCl as a diatomic. --Smokefoot (talk) 11:48, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Oh yeah, I forgot that they have tetramer structures. Thanks! DFliyerz (talk) 17:53, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

yes, that's it. Sometimes prisms and sometimes ladders. Thanks for the note and best wishes, --Smokefoot (talk) 21:11, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Potassium ferricyanide

Please fix this edit at Potassium ferricyanide. To see the two problems, search the infobox for "convert". The issue is that {{chembox}} has FlashPt for any text, while FlashPtC must be a number (°C) with nothing else. You might want to check your other edits. Johnuniq (talk) 10:22, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
