i used to have difficulty understanding this law, and still did not understand it after the first "way to say it" was given here, but after I read the second one, it made perfect sense. I think that it is because of the example. Perhaps that should be put next to the first one?

This page needs editing. Some of the phrasing doesn't seem appropriate.--130.245.197.131 18:08, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

The fisrt line as far as I can tell needs to be edited and it's unappropriate text removed.


It could look like the text have been copied from somewhere, it is pointing to a table the article not contains. Grrahnbahr 12:19, 1 July 2007 (UTC)


I believe Wikipedia should 'lock' articles such as this which contain basic information. What I mean by 'lock' is that new revisions may be required to be proof-checked by someone else before approval. As these basic articles will not change very much, they must be locked so as to prevent vandalism —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.102.78.164 (talk) 23:58, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Does any one know why there's such a big space at the top? I almost thought this page was blank when I first opened it. And isn't this page supposed to be talking about the law of multipule proportions rather than about all those other laws? Diqiuren 01:04, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

This article is frequently vandalized, and then repaired. Hopefully the bad stuff does not stay too long. Semiprotection would be a good idea to reduce unhelpful editing. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:21, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Attribution

I added:

as the license requires attribution. The content was added here [1] over a year ago with many intervening edits so it is not simple to remove and will result in a lot of lost, so this seems the best solution to me. I considered e-mailing the author asking him to release it under the GFDL but this seems unnecessary Nil Einne (talk) 19:45, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
