Spectra[edit]

I've got some spectra (.jpeg/.pdf) of quite a lot of different compounds that I've obtained my self (at the university). I could put the peaks down as a table, but personally I'd rather look at a spectra (maybe combined with a table, if it's too vague/bad resolution). Can we open up for the addition of spectra? And if so, how?

Nature of these data pages[edit]

I think that in the case of chemicals, having data pages like these are essential for explaining the nature of each chemical. However, WP:RAWDATA says that typically such charts of information are not appropriate for inclusion into Wikipedia.

What was the motivation for making these pages? Was there any community discussion? Was there any controversy about creating these? Thanks. Blue Rasberry (talk) 18:59, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@Bluerasberry: I stumbled upon these now. Have you found out what you were looking for in the interim? wumbolo ^^^ 14:41, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved

@Wumbolo: Yes I do not care about this anymore. I feel this is not appropriate for English Wikipedia, but it is not worth discussing. The likely future, probably before 2022, is that all of this content will go into Wikidata then come back here from there. Wikidata can manage the quality control more effectively than Wikipedia can, and also Wikidata can serve every language. Blue Rasberry (talk) 15:30, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
