If you want image of chemical compound, list it here.

  • (place for requests for chemical compounds)

Of course starting articles isn't main form of contribution on Wikipedia.

Rules I proposed:

  • Allways fill Summary field
  • Allways list homepage of person or organization article is about

I'm generally for Scentific Point of View, which sometimes, but not very often, is in comflict with Strictly Neutral Point of View.

I'm also very annoyed by links like this: [ [ X ] ] s, and I often change them to correct [ [ X | Xs ] ].

[edit] Cone snail and D amino acids

From User:statkit1I found this reference http://www.expasy.org/cgi-bin/get-entries?KW=D-amino%20acid regarding the uniqueness of cone snail's ability to synthesize D-amino acids. Indeed, other organisms can perform this feat, but it is rare.
