[edit] Rationale behind your recent chem articles

I noticed that you are writing chemistry-related articles. Welcome and I invite you to consult other editors to get a feel for this theme. I admit to being puzzled by the selection articles that you are originating. NiCl₂(en)₂ (the tris is more common) and [Cr(CN)₆]^4- (the trianion is far more common) are pretty obscure species, and I dont see the point of starting an article on [PtCl₄]^2- since we already have a nice article on K₂PtCl₄. You are not supplying any information on why these species are in the least notable, some modicum is expected. Several editors, me included, are keen to start articles on under-appreciated chemical species, but we include a reference to its use or reactions or why people might care. The fact that a species exists, is barely motivation. Even by my archane standards, your selection is strange. So I invite you to share your plans or concept for chemistray articles. If you are just looking for coordination compounds to write about, I would suggest the classic Werner complexes such as cis- and trans-[CoCl₂(en)₂]Cl, [Co(NH₃)₅Cl]Cl₂, [Co(NH₃)₄Cl₂]Cl, [Co(NH₃)₄(CO₃)]NO₃. Also I recommend starting articles on compounds not ions - the ion can be redirected to the entire salt. The 'Chembox' is simpler to complete for compounds since one can find a fuller sets of data on compounds vs ions.--Smokefoot (talk) 04:34, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi there! A few more suggestions:

WP Chemistry manual of style: WP:CHEMMOS - the new version is still being drafted, but the current version is still very relevant. Do take a look before you proceed. Among other things, only chemical compounds get chemboxes; ions don't. The naming convention you used (tetrachloroplatinate II) seems strange as well. It should be tetrachloroplatinate(II) if anything, though I too don't think this ion is significant to have an article of its own. Lastly, wikipedia itself should never be used as a reference, like you did here. Do drop me a note if you need any help. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 08:48, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
