I want to include a synthetic reaction that is known as Clar's reaction. It is of a certain class of cyclic ketones that condense with themselves when heated to 400 C in a mixture of zinc dust and zinc chloride.

I will add references and a description of what it is used for in synthesizing new polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

The article Sex, Love, Misery: New New York has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable, see Talk page

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

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

What did you revert to the earlier version of Colossus (supercomputer)? It is fully supported by the references I added. Somajyoti (talk) 23:02, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As my edit-summary says: "WP:NPOV fail". There are so many non-neutral words ("boasting", "state-of-the-art", "this monster"). That would be great for an ad or a PR/news-release, but not an encyclopedia. See also WP:TONE. Now that you know about edit-summaries, maybe you could start using them also, so others can see why you are making some of the edits you did. DMacks (talk) 02:25, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You’re good? It seems like you have a very hard time dealing with differing world views, seeing that you have to revert any reference to your Nazi remarks even months later. Touchy subject, maybe noticed you overreacted? Considering you think you alone decide when and where people have the "final word" and when discussions are closed, maybe you want to think about yourself a little and do a little digging where those huge insecurities come from and why have to channel them here?

You must have me confused with someone else. I merely enforced the fact that "The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it." means exactly what it says. I was not the one who closed that discussion. But mention Nazis again and you'll have your edit-privleges revoked. WP:CIVIL and WP:NPA are fundamental behavioral policies on Wikipedia.

I indeed have to apologize, it was another user with a somewhat similar name that made those comparisons (which I was and am still shocked about). DasallmächtigeJ (talk) 20:20, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Crazy how many people make up names that wind up similar to each other! Nazi comparisons are indeed inappropriate and disconcerting. DMacks (talk) 20:47, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, just reverted vandalism by this IP, I see they have a history: User_talk:50.223.200.26 Popcornfud (talk) 14:30, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I gave a level-4 warning. Block would be next step. Thanks for keeping an eye on it. DMacks (talk) 16:16, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like the whole range needs to be blocked. See Special:Contributions/178.142.0.0/16. Last used for good edits two weeks ago, three day block shouldn't cause too much collateral damage. — Chrisahn (talk) 02:09, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I started with a /24. DMacks (talk) 02:29, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Makes sense, thanks! — Chrisahn (talk) 02:31, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Appellant hopes this is the appeal you were looking for. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:34, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User: Ponyo, thoughts about restoring talkpage access to allow one final chance? DMacks (talk) 17:43, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. -- Ponyo^{bons mots} 18:53, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Quo vadimus? -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 11:44, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Per this discussion and Ponyo's consent, I restored talk-page access so they can make an unblock request. DMacks (talk) 16:09, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thou art kind. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:35, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
