![]() | This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference. Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump. |
This worklist for the Chemicals WikiProject gives structure and organization to all the work going on. The progress statistics from this worklist are published monthly on the project discussion page.
Procedure
The list is aligned with the goals of the WikiProject. Additions and deletions to this list are not currently invited but remain possible. Feel free to post your proposals for such on the discussion page.
All articles are assessed continuously. If you have improved an article, you may adjust the entry in this worklist yourself (all changes are monitored), or you may simply put a remark that improvements have been done (either in the worklist or on the talk page), and leave the re-assessment to WP:Chem core team members. Promotions to A-Class have an explicit peer-review recommendation page; promotion to Feature article follow the normal procedure.

Polymers
Typically, these polymers do not have a table of properties. Instead of the usual chemical properties, a table of material properties for each of the polymers might be more suitable, although such properties may vary too much depending on molecular weight, branching, tacticity and monomer orientation (head-to-tail, etc.), cross-linking, and any co-monomers present (even in small amounts). At this point, these tables are considered to be low priority.
- Note: it was discussedhere to transfer this section to WikiProject Polymers. The outcome was that the list be used as a goal of both projects, and the statistics included with the WP:Chem statistics.
