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.

Sorry to bother you again, but the Temba Maqubela editor is back with a new citation.

This citation is technically on the Associated Press website, but is labeled as "paid content from EIN Newswire | Newsmatics". The article on the site was published on February 13, 2025 and submitted by "EdSpread." It says that a study of various boarding schools was produced based on IRS disclosures, that Maqubela's family's pay has gone up, and that Maqubela's Groton has the lowest "transparency score" in the dataset. The article does not link to the study or provide an EdSpread website, but apparently one can contact EdSpread via EIN Newswire. Namelessposter (talk) 18:52, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No evidence of reliability of edspread (or even any real digital footprint at all?), and EIN Newswire is consensus as a non-notable organization. I nuked it. I landed a level-4 warning on the editor's talk-page, so the next time it will be a block with the weight of enforcing an arbcom CTOP decision behind it.

You haven't actually made a bolded !vote yet at ANI - was that intentional? PamD 10:29, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It was...I didn't see any specific proposal of what to do--neither in the ANI nor on their user-talkpage--just that "something needs to be done". I added some thought now. DMacks (talk) 17:02, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

When identifying words and their meaning do we not cite the information where it came from and if the words means something else? If it contradicts the actual meaning of a commonly used word from another country is it safe to say well this is what I feel it means? DavidElsh04 (talk) 13:14, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Editors are not permitted to use their opinions or personal novel analysis of situations. That's against WP:OR policy. DMacks (talk) 22:57, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So this is all based on an opinion why is it still being referred to when it’s not accurate: MAGAT", (MAGATs), a derogatory term used for supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump, named for his use of the slogan "Make America Great Again" (MAGA); also appearing as "magat", "magats"; the term is a homophone of "maggot". The term “MAGAT” is also an acronym for “MAGA Terrorist” DavidElsh04 (talk) 03:21, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please raise concerns about an article's content on that article's talk-page. DMacks (talk) 04:49, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
