Who we are and what we are doing

Over the course of this winter semester (Jan-April) students enrolled in the University of Michigan Honors section of Organic Chemistry II will be editing three current named reactions sites, the Ritter reaction, the Appel reaction and Jones oxidation. For each page, the students will be adding four sections, history, animation, spectroscopy and applications.

  • The history section will give a brief background about the reaction.
  • The animation section will provide a detailed animation of the mechanism for this reaction and we hope to add a sound track to accompany each step.
  • The spectroscopy section will highlight the major changes that will occur in the NMR spectra during the course of the reaction.
  • Finally, the applications section will describe how this reaction is used today in various chemical settings.

The SSG leaders listed at the bottom of our userpage will be facilitating this project and the students will be creating their rough drafts in our sandboxes. No edits will be posted until the final page is completed at the end of the semester.

Jones oxidation, suggestions

Remember, Wikipedia's guidelines take priority over your teacher's rules. It is unfortunate that your teacher forces Wikipedia editors to do the clean up work.

  • Remove most of the history. This should be 1-4 sentences and focus on history of the reaction and related methods. If you want to write an essay about Dr. Jones, do that elsewhere. Wiki-chemistry does not include personal histories in chemistry articles.
  • Remove the spectra. Wikipedia articles include spectra very rarely, and these are poor qualtiy anyway.
  • The arrow-pushing is a mess. Please do not inflict this on Wikipedia. Simplify the arrow pushing and do not show ever step, just a few.
  • The applications section can be compressed and written in paragraph form. You might check a source on applied chemistry.

Overall, reads like a school essay. --Smokefoot (talk) 12:23, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Welcome to Wikipedia Project Medicine

Have been working on getting student involvement at the University of British Columbia? Are you in Canada? There may be some funding for initiative here. A group of us published a paper looking at the us of Wikipedia in Medicine.

Heilman JM, Kemmann E, Bonert M; et al. (2011). "Wikipedia: a key tool for global public health promotion". J. Med. Internet Res. 13 (1): e14. doi:10.2196/jmir.1589. PMID 21282098. {{cite journal}}: Explicit use of et al. in: |author= (help)CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (link) CS1 maint: unflagged free DOI (link)

Anyway drop me a note if you need some help. Currently am working on a presentation to give to medical students regarding editing. I can pass it along to you when done if you wish to use parts of it for presentations of your own. We really need more editors... Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 05:54, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
