You might talk to a chemist before creating a topic in the chemistry area. We have a project and we discuss topics and debtate them. I suspect that [[Carbon-neutral fuel]] is something that would attract some debate. I also encourage you to upgrade or trim the references in keeping with the standard recommended here - [[WP:SECONDARY]], which means that references should largely be to reviews, books. Books and reviews are venues that have undergone analysis and scholarly digestion, whereas journal articles are not of this quality. Things like MS theses are too weak for referencing. Memoranda within some government are probably not good enough either.--[[User:Smokefoot|Smokefoot]] ([[User talk:Smokefoot|talk]]) 13:07, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Thank you very much! —Cupco 15:57, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Would be great to get this article to GA. It is on the list of articles to be translated as part of this project. [1] To get it there we need to make sure we use nearly exclusively review articles or major textbooks from the last 3-5/10 years per WP:MEDRS. Anyway many thanks for your efforts.Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 10:24, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Birth control, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Water retention (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thanks again for a comprehensive and thorough GA review. You caught me on a good cpl days, my first free time for Wikipedia in awhile. I went through the article, esp the history section and corrected the copyvio you noted. I also paraphrased the areas that sounded like close paraphrases themselves. I also added info on tuition and graduation rates as suggested. After I took excerpts from the article and googled them, no outstanding copyvios/close paraphrasing appeared. Feel free to check it anytime now that the majority of concerns are solved. If you have any further, I'd be happy to address them as well Bhockey10 (talk) 20:55, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Gadget for subst'ing Cite_journal

I have created a quick gadget {subst:Template:Fcite_journal/subst|...} which can store subst'ed {Cite_journal} entries as simple wiki-text, omitting the <span class=...> and tedious COinS metadata. Unfortunately, there are still some formatting characters stored, such &#32 for space and "<b/>;" for semicolons, due to restrictions in storing lead-spaces or semicolons in text. However, the resulting text is portable to other wikis, which lack {Cite_journal}. Example (edit this talk-topic and look inside for results):

{{subst:Fcite journal/subst
| last1 = Chin | first1 = H. B. | last2 = Sipe | first2 = T. A. 
| last3 = Elder | first3 = R.   | last4 = Mercer | first4 = S. L. 
| last5 = Chattopadhyay | first5 = S. K. | last6 = Jacob | first6 = V. 
| last7 = Wethington | first7 = H. R. | last8 = Kirby | first8 = D. 
| last9 = Elliston | first9 = D. B. 
| doi = 10.1016/j.amepre.2011.11.006 
| title = The Effectiveness of Group-Based Comprehensive Risk-Reduction and Abstinence Education Interventions to Prevent or Reduce the Risk of Adolescent Pregnancy, Human Immunodeficiency Virus, and Sexually Transmitted Infections 
| journal = American Journal of Preventive Medicine 
| volume = 42 | issue = 3 | pages = 272–294 | year = 2012 
| pmid = 22341164 | pmc = 
| url = http://www.ajpmonline.org/article/S0749-3797(11)00906-8/abstract
}}

Subst'ed result: Chin, H. B.; Sipe, T. A.; Elder, R.; Mercer, S. L.; Chattopadhyay, S. K.; Jacob, V.; Wethington, H. R.; Kirby, D.; et al. (2012). "The Effectiveness of Group-Based Comprehensive Risk-Reduction and Abstinence Education Interventions to Prevent or Reduce the Risk of Adolescent Pregnancy, Human Immunodeficiency Virus, and Sexually Transmitted Infections". American Journal of Preventive Medicine  42 (3): 272–294. . PMID 22341164.
The {Fcite_journal/subst} handles most options of {Cite_journal} and puts "et al." for author9. Meanwhile, I am still working with Template:If to replace the "&#32" with simple spaces, but feel free to use it as needed. I know many articles have like "46" {cite_journal} entries, which can be too tedious for wiki-reformatting by hand. The next step, below, is to replace all {cite_pmid} entries.

Subst'ing Cite_pmid to Cite_journal to Fcite_journal/subst: To answer your original problem, edit the new page twice, copying all {cite_pmid} to the new page. First subst all of the {cite_pmid|222333} as slashed {subst:cite_pmid/222333|noedit}, and then re-edit that subst'ed page and subst all the new {cite_journal} entries:

  • Edit 1: Subst every {cite_pmid} with "/"
{subst:cite_pmid/111222|noedit}
{subst:cite_pmid/111333|noedit}
{subst:cite_pmid/111444|noedit}
Upon SAVE, all {cite_pmid/...} become {cite_journal} entries.
  • Edit 2: Subst every {cite_journal} with "F /subst"
{subst:Fcite_journal/subst |... pmid=111222|...}
{subst:Fcite_journal/subst |... pmid=111333|...}
{subst:Fcite_journal/subst |... pmid=111444|...}

By that 2-step process, then all {cite_pmid} will become simple wiki-text cites with no more templates in use. Should take just a few minutes to convert all 46 {cite_pmid} to clean, portable wiki-text. Ask below if any questions. -Wikid77 (talk) 19:29, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Renewable energy, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Nuclear energy and Pipeline (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
