Talk:Pericyclic reaction

I just looked at this, and it doesn't look complex to me. However, it might be worth if someone else would look at it. -Barras (talk) 21:00, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be happy to take a look at it for you. --Orash matash 21:01, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mh. From what I can see, it's still quite complex. I'm not saying it can't be moved back into mainspace, but if it is moved, it should be tagged as complex. That's all I've got for you. Good luck! --Orash matash 19:17, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am very confused. I understand using a {{complex}} tag to warn readers that this article is not easy. But at least one editor thinks that the tag means "subject to quick deletion" or "kiss of death." Certainly it is ineligible for DYK, GA and VGA. What is the proper use of the tag?

In this case, the tag will be used to warn readers that the article isn't easy. Once it's simplified, it can be removed. If the chemistry equations contained within are naturally complex, it shouldn't be tagged as complex, since the equation will never, ever change. I'll be happy to help you simplify it once it's in the mainspace. --Orash matash 18:44, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reluctant to do this again because I have tried many times. Complex is not a criteria for deletion. Articles with content directly copied from En that has not been simplified is a problem and is a criteria for deletion. They are two different issues. Unfortunately, this article still has both issues in the text not in images or equations. One possible source of the problem is the original source material. Bringing over articles from En that are admittedly lesser in quality (the original is marked as a "Start Class") means you don't have as much to work with in the first place. 23:08, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
