Article improvement.

edit

I've rewritten the article in an attempt to address the multiple issues that had been noted: lack of references or sources; "how-to" content; and lack of links to the page.

  • I've added a reference to White's Introduction to Biochemistry which covers the material in the article except for the biographical material on Millon, which I found by Googling - if anyone can locate a citeable source for that, I'd be grateful.
  • I've cut out the recipes, noting how it is made, not how to make it.
  • I'm adding it to Category:Mercury compounds and Category:chemical tests, and linking from the Reagent article.

If anyone wishes to edit or improve further, go ahead! --Kay Dekker (talk) 14:10, 20 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
