User talk:VCalvoP
Welcome
[edit]Hello VCalvoP. Thank you for your contributions to the chemistry portion of Wikipedia. We need chemists! My main suggestion is not to offer advice. We also usually avoid procedural details (solvent, temps, conditions). This approach is a tradition here as described in WP:NOTMANUAL. Additional information can be found at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Chemistry/Safety. I also encourage that editors aim for general references, as found in established textbooks and reviews, vs journal citations. This approach is explained in WP:SECONDARY. You will notice amendments to your contributions in keeping with these styles - but dont be offended, we are continuously editing each other's work here. Of course the main thing is that you have some chemistry to share and are willing to learn some from other editors. Many people here can offer assistance or advice, one place to post questions is Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Chemistry. Happy editing. --Smokefoot (talk) 17:29, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi there, I wanted to drop you a note to tell you that I undid your latest changes to methyl iodide because such precautionary statements are not quite appropriate here.
Would you like to drop by WT:CHEM and say hi to the other wikichemists? --Rifleman 82 (talk) 17:33, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
Please use edit summaries. Your current edits to Theoretical chemistry are totally without them. --Bduke (Discussion) 00:29, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
You have used "level of theory" to mean Schrodinger or Dirac, but it is normally used in a different wider way as introduced by John Pople. Thus HF, DFT/B3LYP, CASSCF, MP4, CCSD(T) and so on are levels of theory. Pople stressed that a given calculation was specified by the level of theory and the basis set. You may want to improve what you wrote.
Keep up the good work, but I would still like some edit summaries. It is also easier to follow if you use the "Preview" button and make fewer edits for the same result. --Bduke (Discussion) 02:26, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
