Thanks, I wasn't sure if I was citating too quickly (straight after the claim, instead of at the end of the sentence). e.g: "Opium poppy[1], ...[2], ...[3]." is what I did, but I wasn't sure if "Opium poppy, ..., ... [1][2][3]." would be better. --Mark PEA 14:30, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Our problem is not a surfeit of citations but thousands and thousands of articles with nary a one. Another words don't worry about overcitation! Once an article becomes fleshed out, sometimes citations in the lead are dropped if they are just summarizing material expanded upon the the article body where the citations are moved to, but it's perfect to have them from the start.--Fuhghettaboutit 15:31, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Phorbol image

Hi Mark, I just noticed that Image:Tetradecanoylphorbol acetate.png appears to have a small error. The acetate portion has an OH where there should be a methyl group.

Thanks for your contributions to chemistry articles. And if you haven't see it already, feel free to participate at Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemistry and related projects. --Ed (Edgar181) 22:28, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Ah yes, silly me, I've been drawing so many carboxylic acids lately it's turned into a bit of a habit to put -OH groups instead of -CH3 groups next to ketones. I'll update it right away. Mark PEA 22:54, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Also, I think i've learned from now on that before I save a structure as a .png, to select it and do a formula analysis, to stop silly little errors like that one :) Mark PEA 23:04, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Thanks for adding the info/graphic to the MCPP article! Miserlou 03:12, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
