I suggest that such links would be better handled by linking from this article to the copious numbers of articles on Thiomersal/controversy rather than by scattering links hither and thither. Reduplication does not carry conviction and makes maintenance notably harder than necessary. Midgley 14:22, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Salicylic acid is a related compound?

Could anyone explain to me, how is salicylic acid related to ethylmercury⁺? Well, ethylmercuric salicylate is as a thinkable salt as the other 10^x ones, and yes, Thiomersal is derived from thiosalicylic acid,... but how exactly is salicylic acid related to EtHg⁺...? Thanks.--84.163.105.18 (talk) 01:01, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
