Dioxin

[edit]

[copied from User talk:Sanyi4:]

Hi Sanyi4. I have the impression that your edits somehow worsened the mess in polychlorinated dibenzodioxin (Q11087111), dioxins and dioxin-like compounds (Q2522) and dioxin (Q13424590). de:Polychlorierte Dibenzodioxine und Dibenzofurane belongs to the same item as en:Dioxins and dioxin-like compounds, which is now not anymore the case. --Leyo 09:05, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, sure, that need some explanation. I've identified three different concepts behind the many "dioxins":

  • dioxin (Q13424590): "dioxin", the common name for the simple dioxins: 1,2-dioxin and 1,4-dioxin.
  • dioxins and dioxin-like compounds (Q2522): "dioxins", an umbrellla term for simple dioxins, polyhalogenated dibenzodioxins (polychlorinated dibenzodioxins, polyfluorinated dibenzodioxins, polybrominated dibenzodioxins), and sometimes similar (dioxin-like) compounds.
  • polychlorinated dibenzodioxin (Q11087111): "polychlorinated dibenzodioxins": a subset of the umbrella term above (the ones which are polychlorinated).

There is also Dioxin (Q1227103), where the de.wikipedia version is the best structured one.
I had spent hours to fix the interwiki links some time ago (when Wikidata did not exist) and I was involved in several discussions on the dioxin topic in both the en.wikipedia and de.wikipedia. The problem is, that in many Wikipedias, all aspects of dioxins are discussed in a single article. This, of course, it not appropriate. --Leyo 12:40, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, the topic is in a complete mess. However, I tried to collect the articles which discuss all aspects of dioxins in dioxins and dioxin-like compounds (Q2522). dioxin (Q13424590) and polychlorinated dibenzodioxin (Q11087111) are far more specific. -- Sanyi4 (talk) 19:10, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
