hi,

In 2009 being the International Year of Astronomy, I began editing some of the astronomical observatories in India on Wikipedia. 2011 is the International Year of Chemistry (IYC-2011) and I hope we can do something along those lines for articles on Chemistry as well.

IYC-2011 is being organised by IUPAC (remember all those IUPAC names you had to by-heart in your Chemistry classes?) and the UNESCO. You can find out more about this here -http://www.chemistry2011.org/about-iyc/introduction

If any of you have an inclination towards Chemistry or edit Chemistry articles on Wikipedia, do let us know ideas for how we can also encourage IYC-2011.

warm regards,
Pradeep Mohandas
