That's how its done...[edit]

You are welcome to challenge claims (like the statement that terpenes are the main source of alkenes in nature), but you shouldn't ordinarily describe a statement as "silly". Talk to your teacher or parents or a senior editor if you do not understand something. BTW, what class of phytochemical do you think has lots of alkenes? Proteins? Nucleic acids? Sugars? Polyketides?--Smokefoot (talk) 20:32, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Proper tagging[edit]

Hey, Ilonumbrel!

I noticed that you recently marked a couple sentences in Aluminum phenolate as {{citation needed}}, either because the claim was entirely absent from the source or did not include a page number. Unfortunately, {{citation needed}} is the tag we use to indicate when a claim has no citation at all. Your usage makes the page look like somebody added a citation but forgot to remove the {{citation needed}} tag. Not everybody's going to check the page history like I do before removing it.

Anyways, the typical way to mark these flaws are {{failed verification}} and {{missing page}} (respectively). You might want to consider using them instead. Thanks for your help in building the encyclopedia, Bernanke's Crossbow (talk) 06:04, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
