Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to chemistry. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

Scope
The Chemistry WikiProject is about combining and co-ordinating the many efforts to improve all articles pertaining to chemistry and related subjects, by providing standards and guide where practical.
Related WikiProjects and navigation
The interesting work is being done in the following (autonomous) WikiProjects:
- WikiProject Chemicals, aiming at a full coverage of important chemical compounds.
- WikiProject Elements, aiming at a full coverage of all chemical elements in the periodic table
- WikiProject Isotopes (New), aiming at coverage of all 3100 known isotopes
- WikiProject Rocks and Minerals, aiming at standardization for articles about rock and minerals
- WikiProject Physical Chemistry, to better organize information in articles related to physical chemistry, and the overlap with chemical physics.
- WikiProject Polymers, "to organize and disseminate all polymer related information on Wikipedia in a coordinated fashion."
- WikiProject Water purification
- Chemical infoboxes, providing specific, standard infoboxes for use in chemistry-related articles.
- Chemistry Collaboration of the Month, aimed at improving underdeveloped chemistry-related articles.
When writing articles you should consult:
- Naming conventions (chemistry), with recommendations for presentation of chemistry related subjects.
- Style guide, still under construction.
For finding your way around the chemistry topics, the following WikiPages may be useful:
- Chemistry portal
- Chemistry, the wikipage on chemistry
- Chemistry basic topics, a good overview of the major chemistry science topics
- List of biochemistry topics
- List of chemistry topics
- List of chemists
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemicals/Data
Discussion
Many Chemistry Wikiproject items are discussed on the talk page. Note that issues about a specific subject, e.g., Chemicals, can much better be discussed at the talk pages of those WikiProject, e.g., Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Chemicals
Participants
If you plan to be active in editing articles relating to chemistry, please add your name and your interests to the participants list! For existing participants, please go and add extra information about yourself and check your entry. The comments column might be used to indicate participation in daughter projects such as Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemicals.

The overall goals of this project are to coordinate activities relating to chemistry, and to improve the quality of chemistry-related articles.
Based on initial comments from project participants, the following SMART goals are proposed for the project (December 5th 2005). All articles will be assessed for their quality and completeness, and this will be tracked on the worklist. Please leave comments in the goals discussion on the talk page.
- Write a full page for each of the major sub-disciplines within chemistry.
- Write a full page for 30 important concepts such as solution, from a variety of areas of chemistry.
- Write a full page for a selection of 40 "giants of chemistry" such as Antoine Lavoisier, covering all history. 15 of these should be historical figures from early history up to the 18th century, while another 15 should have been active during the 19th century. The last 10 should be from the 20th and 21st century.
- Write a full page for 10 major classes of chemical reactions such as nucleophilic substitution.
- Write a full page for 10 important chemical processes used in industry, e.g. Contact process.
- Write 20 complete articles on common laboratory techniques (e.g., filtration) and analytical techniques.
- Write a full article covering the 12 major organic functional groups using the class name, such as aldehyde.
- Write a full article for 12 ions, including the ammonium ion and 11 major anions such as chloride.
- Write a full article for 10 major topics in physical chemistry,
principally in chemical kinetics and chemical thermodynamics.
