[edit] Drawings

Hi, thank you for the drawings. Always nice when there is someone helping out with all the work that is still to be done in chemistry. May I ask you to drop by at Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemistry and Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemicals, that is a project where you can find people with similar interests. For images there is even a special page Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemistry/Image Request. You could also have a chat with Ben Mills, he is very active in drawing pictures (but there are more at the image-request page). Hope to see you around, have a nice day! And again, welcome! --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 22:18, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I forgot. You could have a look at the explanation in {{chembox}} about how that infobox handles images and other data. The coding behind it is quite difficult, but the actual use is quite easy. Hope this helps. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 22:20, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Salts and highly polar compounds are not molecules!

Great to see you contributing to Wikipedia. One thing about Wikipedia is that we all learn from each other. Here is something that you might not know - salts are not molecules. Lithium amide and sodium thiocyanate are not molecules. These species have far more complicated structures. One of our fellow editors User:Benjah-bmm27 is an expert on depicting these species - take a look at his work. So please reconsider drawing non-molecular species as monomers. --Smokefoot 23:03, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
