Distinction between osmoprotectants and compatible solutes
editA distinction is made between osmoprotectants and compatible solutes:
- effective osmoprotectants = "efficient at increasing cytoplasmic osmolality, and growth rate"; and
- compatible solutes = "without deleterious effects on biopolymer functions, including stability and activity".

Support good-faith IP editors: insist that Wikipedia's administrators adhere to Wikipedia's own policies on keeping range-blocks as a last resort, with minimal breadth and duration, in order to reduce adverse collateral effects; support more precisely targeted restrictions such as protecting only articles themselves, not associated Talk pages, or presenting pages as semi-protected, or blocking mobile edits when accessed from designated IP ranges.
