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)[reply]

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)[reply]

~~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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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."

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)[reply]
