PNG ––> SVG
You have recently converted several chemical structures nicely from PNG to SVG. Which software did you use on what operating system? I work wit the Mac OS X 10.5. Best regards from Germany --Jü (talk) 17:19, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
: Hi Jü! First, I'm sorry for this late reply. I use ChemDraw (with .WMF / .EMF export function) to draw the structure, Inkscape to resize, crop and export it into SVG and [http://www.planetsvg.com/tools/scour/scra.py/form scour] to optimize the final output. It is a bit complicated, but I like this method as it produces very high quality and small files. Also, I have heard that the latest version ChemDraw supports direct SVG exporting, but as I own an older version, I don't know how well it works. All these programs should work under MAC OS X. I've heard that OS X has great automation tools, which I think could be applied to this method with great results. Cheers! --Harbinary (talk) 19:20, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
: Hi. When you convert png images to svg please make sure that your svg image is correct, as several images you have uploaded recently had minor but significant errors (OH group at wrong position, alkyl chain wrong length). Also be aware that some people prefer to use png format, because svg files do not display properly in some web browsers and very few third party applications can edit svg files once they are exported.

::Could you post names of faulty images please? --Harbinary (talk) 04:10, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
::: The images I noticed are Ketobemidon.svg and 2-Ethoxymethyl_Salvinorin_B.svg although I did not check all your edits. However I see the second one is actually a correct image, you just added it to the wrong page. Meodipt (talk) 08:34, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
Category:Monoamine oxidase inhibitors
Hi Harbinary, as far as I am aware of, there is no scientific evidence for all the 2C compounds being notable monoamine oxidase inhibitors. Unless you can provide reliable sources I suggest that you undo your categorization into :Category:Monoamine oxidase inhibitors. Cacycle (talk) 17:43, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
:There we go, [http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jm049310 Sulfur-Substituted α-Alkyl Phenethylamines as Selective and Reversible MAO-A Inhibitors: Biological Activities, CoMFA Analysis, and Active Site Modeling] --Harbinary (talk) 18:44, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
:: This paper as well as [http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0006-2952(97)00405-X this one] do not show monoamine oxidase inhibition by most of the 2C compounds that you have categorized. Also, in my opinion it does not make sense to categorize compounds when their MAO inhibition is an irrelevant low-potency side activity. I think compounds should only be categorized if they have been used specifically for their MAO inhibitory activity or when their potency exceeds other pharmacological (main) activities.

Caffeine
Please don't change the images on featured articles without discussing it on the talk page first. For example, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Caffeine.svg this image] on caffeine was hammered out by three separate authors over the period of a month, guided by the input of a several reviewers. Cheers! – – ClockworkSoul 03:00, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
:My mistake, shouldn't hassle in Wikipedia (propably consumed too much caffeine...) ;) --Harbinary (talk) 14:07, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
Secobarbital
You changed the image of a secobarbital molecule and it's incorrect. Please don't change images without talking about it on the talk page first. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.200.115.120 (talk • contribs) 07:39, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)
{{WP:TWL/Header}}
Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization consisting of over 28,000 volunteers in more than 100 countries. The collaboration was formed to organize medical scholarship in a systematic way in the interests of evidence-based research: the group conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.
Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account. Thank you Cochrane!
If you are stil active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)
