Talk:Phenyltropane

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There is a lot of information here, and I think it needs some cleanup in terms of layout and formatting (example: many bullet points) BierHerr 13:31, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The following was removed

BZ is a popular nonlethal incapacitating agent among the military, a man-made muscarinic that can be used in armed combat scenarios to wipeout the enemy. It is not harmful enough to secure a fatality, whereas deadly nightshade is more insidious. Epibatidine though, is outright lethal — and extremely popular in the military for this exact reason.[1]

[edit] Here's why

This article seems to veer way off course in the background section, where the above text was added:

Firstly, the article is about phenyltropane, not chemical weapons. None of the above text seems to relate to this article at all. Also the Deadly nightshade article and the Epibatidine article both fail to mention anything about their use as a weapon. Immediately below the above text, the format of the line with the external link is overlinked (see:MoS:L), with internal links to completely non-related articles. It is not apparent how the external link supports any of the contents of this article. If it does indeed support the article, it ought to be used as a reference, by tagging it as such.

It's all related, in a metaphysical way that requires extremely advanced understanding to appreciate fully.--Nuklear 00:57, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
