Disambiguation link notification for June 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Trap crop ↗, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cucurbit ↗ ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Trap_crop check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Trap_crop?client=notify fix with Dab solver]).

Reference errors in Dicopper chloride trihydroxide

HI, you have introduced several reference errors with this edit ↗ to Dicopper chloride trihydroxide ↗. The errors are "Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; no text was provided for refs named handbookofmineralogy", "Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; no text was provided for refs named webmineral", "Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; no text was provided for refs named Hawthorne", and "Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; no text was provided for refs named Jambor", and affect the references numbered 8, 9, 10, and 11. If you could fix them it would be appreciated. DuncanHill (talk) 17:05, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

:Was in the middle of it, thanks though. The refs on that page were extensively messed up in both formatting and over-referencing. I tried to prune it down while keeping the basics and removing the unfindable ones. Shouldn't be errors now, but I've had my fill of the page so if you think I deleted something that should have been kept or vice versa any help is welcome. Also removed equation numbers since they were always referred to from the directly adjacent text, and pruned wikilinks extensively. Cheers. A Shortfall Of Gravitas (talk) 17:46, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Terephthalic acid ↗

Thanks for working on that article. It had become somewhat of a mess over the years. DMacks (talk) 03:55, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

:Thank you, and thanks for fixing anything I might have overdeleted / etc. I have a bad tendency of typoing terephthalic because the first h always looks wrong before a "t". BTW, what do you suppose is up with the methanol solubilities on that page? The vapor pressure of methanol at 200C is close to 40atm and I get the feeling methanol that hot with a dicarboxylic acid dissolved in it would start eating up lots of metals pretty quickly for some reason, assuming the terephthalic acid didn't start forming some weird MOF with it first and doing who knows what since it's pretty good at doing that with most transition metals at much lower temperatures. But it may be useful to someone for some reason (might even be the MOF thing under some weird conditions with some suspended metal salt in a specialized shaker) so I thought I'd speculate here...
