Sodium chloride[edit]

I've listed this article for peer review because this is a vital article in chemistry, and I wish it to improve to GA status.

Thanks, Keres🌕Luna edits! 16:53, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keresluna, I like your ambitious goal! Overall, I found that the article, to be honest, is very messy; improving the layout also make the article more appealing to readers and reviewers. The article is also missing on a lot of info about such a common compound, so I suggest reading books, review articles, and websites to add and source the information in. Here are some stuff that I think the article may miss: NaCl tastes salty, NaCl is present in ocean and seas, role of NaCl in biology, NaCl in space (Europa for instance, see [1]), refining NaCl to higher purity, osmosis, and so on and so on. Good luck on your journey! CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 14:23, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Cati, I am not sure that I agree with you here. We already have Salt. Taking for granted that we wish to have separate pages for the two topics, I do not think it is necessary for the NaCl page to go beyond the scope of its chemistry. I think it is hard to draw the line between these topics. Maybe two pages are not needed? Czarking0 (talk) 21:51, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Czarking0, sorry for the late response, but do keep in mind that salt in general are NaCl with impurities. Significant overlap of content is hard to avoid, but I think this distinction would make writing the article a bit easier. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 08:30, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
