Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Liu1126 (talk) 12:29, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

CHEM 300 Student's Project
[edit]Hello everyone! I have a plan to improve the subdisciplines portion of this article:
- I’d like to include an example of each subdiscipline’s chemistry. For example, I would include a wet lab synthesis or even a minor reaction in Organic Chemistry, or something like a metallocentre species for Inorganic/Organometallic Chemistry
- I’d add images about these examples, or even people/application/other appropriate illustrations about that specific subdiscipline to give it a face.
- I’d clean up and add more than one citation for everything, so that each subdiscipline has more room to be discussed.
- I’d add even more hyperlinks/referenced pages to make each subdiscipline more unique. I'd of course get good reliable sources.
Please let me know what you think!!!

- I like the idea of illustrating topics (especially if they highlight a key distinguishing feathre), and the §Disciplines section seems like it could be better-organized or explained. And it is already tagged as needing better citations. Contrast that with the other sections, that have prose and representative images. But I fear this already-long article will become even more unwieldy if more detail is added to that list. See WP:SUMMARYSTYLE for general guidance about a hierarchy of articles. Please also think carefully about the audience of an article that is just "chemistry", the overall topic, and whether they would benefit from any technical detail at all.

- Yes! Making this less accessible and being more technical is NOT the goal! Thanks for the advice and the link to the summary style page, I had no idea it existed. CoolChemist (talk) 03:55, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
