Deprotect?

You can probably remove semi-protection from this page, now that it's no longer the redirect when you search for "Alcohol". MichaelBijanAfghani (talk) 03:43, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Requested at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 04:07, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done: 3 months of pending changes will show if this page really still needs protection. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 07:14, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Use American English" template

Would you mind if I've changed 2 words (catalyse) from UK English to their US English version added the "Use American English" template, in this edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alcohol_%28chemistry%29&diff=1193270702&oldid=1185209041

I'm not a fond of a particular English variant. If you would like to use British English, I'm OK with that, just change the template and change all the words which differ between the US and the UK English. However, I found out that the article uses mostly US words, so it was easier to change UK to US by replacing just two words.

Anyway, we should have a consistent English version usage, we should not intermix US and UK. Maxim Masiutin (talk) 23:25, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

saturated and diol

A recent edit mentions saturated carbons, and also more than one. I haven't thought about this for a while, but the usual alcohols are on saturated carbons. Reminds me that benyl alcohol, unlike the name sounds, has a carbon between the ring and the OH. There are also diols and triols, with two or three OH groups, ethylene glycol and glycerine (1,2,3-propane-triol) being two examples. Gah4 (talk) 01:24, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
