"non-human gnomes"

Gnomes are mythological non-human creatures by definition. I surmise that somebody added non-human to forestall confusion with words used to describe humans of short stature. The term gnome would or should never be used in an encyclopedic context to denote a human being, as it is highly offensive. In a strictly medical setting, the terms dwarf and midget are acceptable (distinct syndromes). And in general polite conversation, there is not much need to remind people of their height, as they tend to be quite aware. 2A01:CB0C:CD:D800:95B:B5DC:38E5:ED07 (talk) 07:49, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

:The reason that's there is because of the rather odd (to me anyway) choice of the midget and dwarf community to be called "little people" which I honestly don't think I could say with a straight face; I never had similar lulziness associated with midget or dwarf, but at the same time I don't call people what they are when talking to them so who cares. (Oh hey White Ted, how's it going?) I don't know any little people personally, but there'd be no reason to actually call them that or midget or dwarf. I'd call them Bob or Tim or Sue or whatever their name was like I do with everyone else.

:Anyway someone likely saw that, probably a 20 year old white male college student who talks about their black friend a lot, and decided it could be offensive to someone and made sure we knew that these weren't human gnomes, but the garden variety kind.

Silica gel any correlation to dmt

Why would silica gel be found in dmt 97.121.137.237 (talk) 03:45, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

:Because someone sold you silica gel and told you it was DMT, probably. A Shortfall Of Gravitas (talk) 02:34, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

:N,N-Dimethyltryptamine → {{no redirect|Dimethyltryptamine}} – "N,N-Dimethyltryptamine" is a full valid chemical name while "dimethyltryptamine" is a widely used trivial name. Use of the term "dimethyltryptamine" is significantly greater than "N,N-dimethyltryptamine" in the literature and in general per Google ([https://www.google.com/search?q=%22dimethyltryptamine%22] vs. [https://www.google.com/search?q=%22N%2CN-dimethyltryptamine%22]; 861k vs. 313k results), Google Scholar ([https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%22dimethyltryptamine%22] vs. [https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%22N%2CN-dimethyltryptamine%22]; 17.6k vs. 12.2k results), and PubMed ([https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=%22dimethyltryptamine%22] vs. [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=%22N%2CN-dimethyltryptamine%22]; 1,305 results vs. 1,187 results). Moreover, the drug recently received an International Nonproprietary Name (INN) of "dimethyltryptamine" last year ([https://iris.who.int/bitstream/handle/10665/379650/9789240103702-eng.pdf#page=112]). Hence, per Wikipedia policies including WP:COMMONNAME, WP:OCHEMNAME, WP:PHARMMOS, and WP:MEDTITLE, which state that the most commonly used trivial name in the scholarly literature and/or INN should be used for drug/compound article names, "dimethyltryptamine" should be the title of this page instead of "N,N-dimethyltryptamine" and I propose that we move the page. Thanks. – AlyInWikiWonderland (talk, contribs) 02:30, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

:Support. Slightly more concise, recognizable, natural, follows INN, unlikely to be confused with an isomer. ⇌ Synpath 14:04, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

:Support. ElectronCompound (talk) 13:59, 12 May 2025 (UTC)

:Agree. Good one. VdSV9•♫ 20:24, 12 May 2025 (UTC)

:Support. All other N,N-dimethyltryptamines (4-phosphoryloxy, 5-methoxy, 4-hydroxy, etc) usually leave the N,N out of the common name since it's kinda implied unless specified otherwise. Same with various modifications (DET / MET / DIPT / DPT), etc. Specifying location of the methyls gets more important for weird things like 5-MeO-AMT if one chooses to call it by the awkward "alpha,O-dimethylserotonin" because one has eaten too much 5-MeO-AMT. --A Shortfall Of Gravitas (talk) 02:31, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
