In the earlier years I did a lot of work on discreet small molecules, [[name reaction]]s and the like, the sort of esoterica that many chemists love - and I still periodically return to that - but in recent years I increasingly seem to be working on murkier things that we all encounter day-to-day, like plastics and surfactants. These are generally a type of muck, in so much that they're either not produced pure or get mixed in with other things even if they are.

===The future===
I sometimes wonder about the future of Wikipedia. It was formed back in the Wild West days of the internet, when anything was possible and permittable because nothing was really regulated by either governments or the public. The idea now seems mad, that anyone, expert or otherwise can just rock-up and rewrite a page on some sensitive subject visible to billions. Times have changed and websites are now often subjected to scrutiny (though rarely sanction). At the moment that’s mostly focused on social media, but I feel that Wikipedia’s time will come. We're unelected, often unqualified, and on occasions unaccountable - qualities which make us more likely to be neutral, to search for good references, to be bold and make changes (or undo them) and to serve no ulterior motive - but they also read like a list of indictments.
WikiProject Chem increasingly finds itself dealing with student editing assignments. These should good for both parties; the students gain new experiences and we get to interact with potential new editors. The reality however is largely negative:

*'''No warning and little or no communication'''. Thus far I've never known us to be contacted in advance. Even once we've realised that we're dealing with a class assignment trying to get in contact with anyone is typically fruitless (ironically for a community-based editing project). A common sub-group are class assignments with no identifiable supervisor, so we don't even know who to try and contact.
*'''A whole class appears'''. One quite day 30 or more new articles will appear. [[Wikipedia:Wiki_Ed/Hunter_College/Chemistry_378_(Spring_2017)]] is a particularly stark example, with approximately 120 student editors. That is significantly more than the current chemistry editing community.
*'''Really inappropriate topics'''. Too often the article topics are either far too broad or far too niche. Students shouldn't be asked to write an encyclopedia article on DNA (too vast!) but 'Environmental Concerns of Headphone Disposal' really isn't much better (will they be able to find any secondary references?.. probably not). Sadly, I've seen both of those examples. Another form encountered are duplicates of existing articles (or significant overlaps).
*'''Inappropriate writing styles'''. The issue is essays. Supervisors are accustomed to setting essays and students are accustomed to writing them. If you ask them to write you an encyclopedia article they will write you an essay - I'm sure they know the difference but they don't know how to enact it, so we get 5,000 words in one massive brick of text.
*'''Epic drama'''. The above problems lead to articles which require heavy editing at best, but often produces articles which need to be deleted or merged. The students are being marked on these articles and are of course resistant to any of that. This undoes any good that the assignment was supposed to do. The students don't want to remain editing in a community which effectively attacked their course marks and we don't want loads of poor quality articles dumped on us. In the end no one is happy.

It's easy for that to sound like I'm blaming the students, but my ire here is really targeted at the trained educators behind all this. They rarely have any experience of editing Wikipedia but don't seem to think this is a barrier to them training others to do so. They fail to engage with what is well-known to be a community-based project. There is also clearly an assumption that so long as content is generated, regardless of quality, then Wikipedia's needs are met. This is neither helpful nor considerate. We are very willing to work with educators and students, but we do have standards and its difficult to work constructively with people who don't talk to you.


[[Knowledge is power]] and the idea that a website which tries to collect all useful knowledge (however imperfectly) will remain largely unsullied by political or business pressures seems unlikely. Actions by the Foundation to deal with nefarious goings on in some of the smaller, non-English wikis are perhaps a foreshadowing of this.
;Proposal
Class assignments should explicitly state that one purpose of the assignment is that students should learn to write in an encyclopedic tone, and that they will be graded on this. This will help steer the students efforts but will only go so far, because if the titles they’re given to write about are naturally essays then I can see students defaulting to essay writing. What I mean by this is titles that can be generalised as ‘X about Y’
* [[improper disposal of latex balloons and its environmental effects]]
* [[Nitrate concentrations in the Mississippi River Basin]]
* [[Environmental impacts of sterile food packaging]]
These are all topics from class assignments and they are, to my mind, naturally essays. You’d start by writing an introduction and a conclusion is clearly needed somewhere and so before you know it you have an essay. Article selection is therefore key.
I think distinct small molecules would be a good area to recommend:
* There’s a large list of these in the waiting [[:Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Natural_sciences/Chemistry#Chemical_compounds]]
* They can be broken down into obvious sections (chembox, lead, synthesis, structure and properties, reactions etc) this disfavours essay writing, plus all students can be given the same guidance.
* It still involves a good range of skills – primary references for chembox, reviews for the lead, planning, writing, making images etc (Required: prominent links to [[:Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Chemistry]])
* There are lots of articles for the students to compare their work against - this should help then write in the desired style and also means that there's is no excuse if they do not.
Most importantly prior contact and ongoing communication needs to be fostered. I'd rather spend a day wrangling over course set-up than have to figure what to do with another article of the environmental effects of used condoms. Properly directed students can generate useful content for Wikipedia and be motivated by seeing their work be immediately accessible to an audience of millions.

I tend to build new pages (or re-writes of existing ones) in sandboxes. Depending on what I'm doing they can see a lot of activity, or hold old drafts from months ago. If you want precise information on what I'm actually up to then you're better off checking my edit log

About me

[edit]

I got into Wikipedia shortly after finishing my PhD thesis. I'd written a long chapter on oxazolines and I knew that it would likely just sit on a shelf and never be read again. The existing page was pretty basic and I figured I could improve it very easily by just copy-and-pasting across some general information, I've been carrying on ever since.

In the earlier years I did a lot of work on discreet small molecules, name reactions and the like, the sort of esoterica that many chemists love - and I still periodically return to that - but in recent years I increasingly seem to be working on murkier things that we all encounter day-to-day, like plastics and surfactants. These are generally a type of muck, in so much that they're either not produced pure or get mixed in with other things even if they are. Trying to pick apart the interactions can be a tricky business but I like to fool myself that it's a better use of my time, as these are topics people are more likely to care about.

About Wikipedia

[edit]

Wikipedia is an odd place and in my experience it certainly isn't a social network. Since my early days here I've often wondered what the size and make-up of the chemistry editing community is - after 10 years I'm not really any the wiser.

We have a WikiProject and a dozen or so of us are active there but I've also slowly become aware of a diaspora of editors who rarely seem to interact with the community at all. Many are highly active and I'm grateful that they're there. It does however, sometimes feel a bit monastic.

The future

[edit]

I sometimes wonder about the future of Wikipedia. It was formed back in the Wild West days of the internet, when anything was possible and permittable because nothing was really regulated by either governments or the public. The idea now seems mad, that anyone, expert or otherwise can just rock-up and rewrite a page on some sensitive subject visible to billions. Times have changed and websites are now often subjected to scrutiny (though rarely sanction). At the moment that’s mostly focused on social media, but I feel that Wikipedia’s time will come. We're unelected, often unqualified, and on occasions unaccountable - qualities which make us more likely to be neutral, to search for good references, to be bold and make changes (or undo them) and to serve no ulterior motive - but they also read like a list of indictments.

Knowledge is power and the idea that a website which tries to collect all useful knowledge (however imperfectly) will remain largely unsullied by political or business pressures seems unlikely. Actions by the Foundation to deal with nefarious goings on in some of the smaller, non-English wikis are perhaps a foreshadowing of this.

Colour keys for graphics

[edit]
Lead(II,IV) oxide   Pb3+   O2−

Many pages on inorganic compounds contain computer generated images of their structures. In these depictions different elements have different colours, however a key is almost never included. This probably isn't a problem if you know the CPK coloring system off-by-heart but for most people (chemists included) it limits their usefulness. Take for example the totally obvious cell of Lead(II,IV) oxide (on the right). Even someone with a reasonable level of chemical knowledge may be confused by this.

Thankfully key's can be incorporated with a minimum of fuss. The key (  Pb3+   O2−) can be added using the following code:

{{colorbox|#575961}} [[Lead|Pb]]<sup>3+</sup> {{colorbox|#ee2010}} [[Oxygen|O]]<sup>2−</sup>

The colours are hexadecimal and can be found by trawling the code of the CPK coloring page or here if they've been made by User:Benjah-bmm27, who produces rather a lot of our 3D images.

Key's may also be added into the Chembox by exploiting the ImageCaption tag:

| ImageCaption = {{colorbox|#bd80e3}} [[Arsenic|Ar]]<sup>3+</sup> {{colorbox|#ee2010}} [[Oxygen|O]]<sup>2−</sup>
