Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemicals/Organization

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Contents

This worklist for the Chemicals WikiProject gives structure and organization to all the work going on. The progress statistics from this worklist are published monthly on the project discussion page.

[edit] Procedure

The list is aligned with the goals of the WikiProject. Additions and deletions to this list are not currently invited but remain possible. Feel free to post your proposals for such on the discussion page.

All articles are assessed continuously. If you have improved an article, you may adjust the entry in this worklist yourself (all changes are monitored), or you may simply put a remark that improvements have been done (either in the worklist or on the talk page), and leave the re-assessment to WP:Chem core team members. Promotions to A-Class have an explicit peer-review recommendation page; promotion to Feature article follow the normal procedure.

[edit] Inorganics

Inorganic compounds
Write a full page for one significant compound of each non-radioactive element in the periodic table. For metals this will usually be an oxide or chloride. Refer to List of inorganic compounds, Inorganic compounds by element or Category:Chemical compounds by element. The status is the assessment of their completeness.

[edit] Polymers

Propose transferring this polymers list from here to WikiProject Polymers. See discussion page here. H Padleckas 07:02, 4 November 2005 (UTC) UPDATE: Links updated. This proposal received support, with one person requesting that the list be kept as a goal of the project, and the statistics included with the WP:Chem statistics. Walkerma 05:00, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Most of these polymers do not have a table of properties. Instead of the usual chemical properties, a table of material properties for each of the polymers might be more suitable, although such properties may vary too much depending on molecular weight, branching, tacticity and monomer orientation (head-to-tail, etc.), cross-linking, and any co-monomers present (even in small amounts). At this point, these tables can be a low priority affair, until the material properties to include are decided.

For reference purposes, they are listed here, but they are not in scope of the Chemicals wikiproject, and will not contribute to the achievement of the goals. Therefore, these articles will not follow the assessment scheme. In case you want to add or exchange a compound in the above worklist, be freely invited to propose such a change on the talk page.
