Alkane was a good articles nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There may be suggestions below for improving the article. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

Missing section

Just removed an unmatched <!-- string from this page, instantly adding back in 7800 characters.

A) I would appreciate if someone who knows something about chemistry could make sure those sections stood the test of time in their absence, and

B) Does anyone know where I might report such an issue / help with a bot to catch such mistakes (unclosed comments)?

-+++ cycloalkanes  +++  I'll accept the writers word for it that cycloalkanes are not a sub-category of alkanes **according to IUPAC**.  There is abundant *technical* literature that disagrees (and treats them as a sub-category).  (some of it, I'll admit, is older).  So, if the consensus is that cycloalkanes are not alkanes then perhaps less should be said of them in this article.  Cycloalkanes certainly do NOT have the formula C(n)H(2n).  For instance the tetrahedral structure C4H4 or add a CH2 group onto each vertice, C10H16.  The formula given is only correct for mono-cyclic alkanes.  Carbon nanotubes (saturated with some pendant H's) also are "cycloalkanes" - or perhaps rationalization of nomenclature (a la IUPAC) has not had a chance to catch up...  Anyway, if you want to exclude cyclics, rings, tubes, balls, etc.  you should do that in the LEAD and at most put a small section explaining why and what.[[Special:Contributions/69.40.241.198|69.40.241.198]] ([[User talk:69.40.241.198|talk]]) 03:50, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
-:Let's go along with noncyclicity so the statement that the molecular mass adds 14 with each carbon will be true from the ground up (starting with methane).  Obviously it's not true if arbitrary cyclicity is allowed.  (It is true if we allow any base hydrocarbon, single-bonded or not, and add methyl groups without adding cycles; any such series will satisfy the +14 rule.  The compounds needn't be alkanes in any definition.)  Meanwhile, I removed the cyclicity conflict statement in the introduction, and let's await further input from experts.

-=== "Paraffin" in the UK ===
-Perhaps I wasn't careful enough in my reading, but it seems that British usage of the word "paraffin" for what is commonly known in the USA as "kerosene" could have been mentioned.
