[edit] An infobox for chemical analysis techniques

Inspired by Wikipedia:WikiProject Musical Instruments/Templates/Infobox instrument; Template is a modified version of Template:Infobox camera.

A list of articles that would get this infobox: Analytical_chemistry#Specific_Technologies_and_Instrumentation.

Comments and suggestions appreciated, thanks. --Kkmurray 18:47, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Comments

Looks good. I'm a little concerned about the manufacturers section being a problem with companies trying to be included.--Nick Y. 18:01, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

It's a question of whether the utility outweighs the spam-magnet aspect. I haven't really found the section very useful and there is a chronic problem with external link spam in the instrumentation pages (even more in biomedical instruments), so it wouldn't be much of a loss and it would take away the linkspam opportunity. --Kkmurray 20:32, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
