• 03:4103:41, 13 September 2024 diff hist +37 GraphicConverter This has the beginnings of a good article, but is not well structured, and needs third party sources. This is thereare case of a decades long shareware product that evolved to offer a premium product, and deserves encyclopedic coverage.

• 00:5900:59, 12 September 2024 diff hist +30 1,4-Dihydroxyanthraquinone →Production: Text with editorialising added without citation. current
• 00:5700:57, 12 September 2024 diff hist +6 1,4-Dihydroxyanthraquinone →Production: Noting the legend of the image refers to the synthesis of an isomer of the title compound, not the title compound itself.

• 23:5323:53, 11 September 2024 diff hist +4 Dibutyl sebacate Made an element of the nomenclature italics, to be consistent within the article. Tag: Reverted
• 23:5123:51, 11 September 2024 diff hist +1,399 Dibutyl sebacate Added the ATSDR citation, and inserted it as an inline citation wherever its content alligned. Edited the text to match this citation, moving unsourced content into separate phrasing. Tag: Reverted
• 23:0423:04, 11 September 2024 diff hist +1,135 Dibutyl sebacate Added the first valid source to the text part of the article, a general source for the names of synonyms, and the specific inline citation needed for two of the earlier appearing synonyms (edited the text to the source). Earlier appearing names that do not appear in the extensive source are hidden from view, and can be readded when a source is found.) Tag: Reverted
• 22:4122:41, 11 September 2024 diff hist +34 Dicarboxylic acid →Properties: Statement too general to be correct, universally.
• 22:3922:39, 11 September 2024 diff hist +386 Dicarboxylic acid →Derivatives: An utterly confusing, incomplete description based on a 1922 text.

• 22:2122:21, 11 September 2024 diff hist +331 Talk:Ester →Physical science
• 22:1922:19, 11 September 2024 diff hist +96 Ester →Other reactions: As just stated, per WP:VERIFY, wikilinks do not negate the need for citations, for non-sky-is-blue content. Likely 1-2 review or text citations would cover all of these, with each being given an {{rp|xx}} page number.
• 22:1622:16, 11 September 2024 diff hist +78 Ester →Claisen condensation and related reactions: Wikilinks do not suffice in place of inline citations. This subsection violates WP:VERIFY.
• 21:5621:56, 11 September 2024 diff hist +1,470 Dibutyl sebacate Noting that page range for the single acceptable citation, to CRC, are unacceptably broad, so as to make that content unverifiable. Then, the single other page cited is to a page at a chemical sales site (and so unacceptable). The entirety of the text content is unsourced, and all of it, practically speaking, is unverifiable.

• 14:3714:37, 9 September 2024 diff hist 0 Virgo interferometer →Abstract on instrument design and function: Copy edit. Corrected a misspelling in a citation date. Tag: Reverted
• 14:3514:35, 9 September 2024 diff hist +2,838 Virgo interferometer →Organization: Created a section to very quickly explain what the instrument does, before diving into the organsational and political, leaving time for the reader to turn to the very long and complex later thorough description of the design and function. Tag: Reverted
• 14:1114:11, 9 September 2024 diff hist +315 Virgo interferometer Revised the opening paragraph of the lead, to move the more specialist aspects of the description to later in the paragraph, to make the lead clearer to educated but non-STEM readers. Note, we are long time STEM/general editors, and are not here practicing. Tags: Reverted Disambiguation links added
• 14:0414:04, 9 September 2024 diff hist +86 Virgo interferometer A PRELIMINARY BOLD edit (not practicing), for a WP graphics expert to improve. Aim: To place critical 5-W's graphical near top of article, to make an informative visual impression. "What" question is critical, but currently, substantial detail appears before reader knows what VIRGO is. Here, we move up a later appearing image so experiment layout-scale are shown, before diving into organizational (e.g., countries participating). We also think pin map should precede those less critical details. Tags: Manual revert Reverted
• 13:2513:25, 9 September 2024 diff hist +86 Virgo interferometer Test edit—for WP graphics expert to improve. Aim: To place critical 5-W's graphical near top of article, to make an informative visual impression. "What" question is critical, but currently, substantial detail appears before reader even knows what VIRGO is. Here, we move up a later appearing image, so a sense of experiment layout and scale is given, before diving into organizational (like details of countries participating). We also think pin map should appear BEFORE those less critical details. Tag: Reverted
• 08:4908:49, 9 September 2024 diff hist −3 Alexander Shulgin FInal slight tweek to presentation of the book names, so to take up less space.
• 08:4408:44, 9 September 2024 diff hist +11 Alexander Shulgin Copy edit. Added a unintentionally omitted single word to ensure the image created in the reader's mind by a lead sentence was accurate.
• 08:4208:42, 9 September 2024 diff hist +3 Alexander Shulgin In process/progress tag taken down. Been a pleasure, hope this moves things toward being reliable, verifiable, and accurate. (A former editor, and academic.)
• 08:3208:32, 9 September 2024 diff hist +2,407 Alexander Shulgin Added a paragraph to end the lead that provides the remainder of a balanced persective, as reflected by several reliable sources. More to be done, but downgrading the call for expert (still needed, work not done yet), and removing the "in process/progress" tag.
• 08:2108:21, 9 September 2024 diff hist −36 Alexander Shulgin Provided the needed archive URL for the High Times article. Checked, corrected opening lead paragraph, ¶-1, to citations appearing or available. Corrected imprecise / non-standard prose to language used in drug discovery and synthetic chemistry. E,g., eliminated the vague allusion to self bioassay.
• 07:1407:14, 9 September 2024 diff hist +477 Alexander Shulgin →Life and career: Checked ¶-1. Noted per WP:USERG, "Examples of unacceptable user-generated sources [include] Ancestry.com...", so 4 such WP:OR entries were separated, that citation content was hidden from view. Also, book source provided was left in, but URL contains no accessble content—searching it at Google Books for "Shulgin", "Henrietta" yields nothing. (Since without page no, no point to search further.) All purported Calif. db refs lack URLs, so unverifiable, marked {{verify...
• 06:3706:37, 9 September 2024 diff hist +1,469 Alexander Shulgin Checked and corrected the good Bennett and Power citations. In preparation for revising the first ¶ of lead, went to the "Life and career" section and checked the "Shulgin studied..." and "After serving..." paragraphs. These two Career paragraphs now accurately reflect the content of the two sources (NYT Mag and Medium) that appear there, with all purported facts unsupported by those sources now marked with {{fact... tags.
• 05:4005:40, 9 September 2024 diff hist +636 Alexander Shulgin Completed lead ¶-2 revision. PiHKAL, TIHKAL citations now complete, URLs working; moved them to point in ¶ where they truly support sentence content by what appears in the source. (Note, earlier URLs were to a cookbook page, on how to make a particular drug (one page of the book), rather than to the book's title/descriptive page. Other unsourced statements are now tagged; if they can be supported from other sources in article, those need—in response to this accuracy challenge—to be moved up.
• 05:1705:17, 9 September 2024 diff hist +414 Alexander Shulgin Posting the call for an expert. Will correct the first two lead paragraphs, then leave it to these talented WikiProjects (Chemsitry, Pharmacolgy) to revise.
• 05:0805:08, 9 September 2024 diff hist +993 Alexander Shulgin Completed correction of last lead paragraph, so that paragraph now states what the appearing sources support. Added two sources in support of his actual much more prevalent "godfather of ecstasy" (repeatedly published), and downgraded the remaining claim because of the poor source. (Note, the same trailer blurb that names him "godfather of psychodelics" asserts his reputation as "one of the great chemists of the 20th century"—which any expert will tell you is promotional ribbish).
• 04:4104:41, 9 September 2024 diff hist +4 Alexander Shulgin Copy edit. Corrected markup.
• 04:4104:41, 9 September 2024 diff hist +11 Alexander Shulgin Posting "In process" template/tag. Please do not edit until this editing session finishes. thank you.
• 04:3904:39, 9 September 2024 diff hist +123 Alexander Shulgin After examining 3 lead paragraphs, errors found—incl. misuse of sources, other fundamental issues—we call for an expert to review the article. In the interim, we're contesting suggestion that this article is GA. It seems to these SMEs, longtime editors, and retired academics, that the article's strayed far from NPOV, and to repeatedly violate Wxfgodfather

• 05:1905:19, 8 September 2024 diff hist −2 Philippe Bas (actor) →Personal life: Copy edit. removed stray punctuation. current
• 05:1905:19, 8 September 2024 diff hist −11 Philippe Bas (actor) Complete 2023-2024 content extraction from the AlloCiné filmography source. Because we now have a source identifying the start of his career in 1995, I could also pull the citation needed tag from the "years active" field of the infobox.
• 05:0405:04, 8 September 2024 diff hist +1,833 Philippe Bas (actor) Duplicated the AlloCiné citation to make use of its filmography tab, to begin sourcing the stage and screen productions section; 1995-1997 done (extracted). Added a sentence about training from the AlloCiné biographie. Moved the earlier full AlloCiné citation into main body of article, to streamline the lead.

• 04:0204:02, 8 September 2024 diff hist +47 Cours Florent →Notable alumni: Wikilinks cannot replace sources. This entire section violates WP:VERIFY. None is sky-is-blue content.
• 03:5503:55, 8 September 2024 diff hist +11 Philippe Bas (actor) →Television and film: Added Citation as a Table heading, as this is the column that others have already placed a citation. Start of something new, we hope.
