Ammonia solution
User:Sojovictor is correct, per Ammonia solution. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 14:11, 12 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Actually, it isn't a right or wrong! It's a common convention! The bottle label in the image reads "Ammonium Hydroxide". Here's why: Ammonium Hydroxide, so please put the image caption back the way I had it. If User:Sojovictor would like to add a section to the lecture describing "Ammonium Hydroxide", the user is free to do so as long as it's not a wikipedia copy, but the image correctly shows the bottle label that often appears. And Pubchem correctly describes what the label pertains to. --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 21:51, 12 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Please review Be bold and Please do not bite the newcomers. User:Sojovictor has presented a valid new perspective in the spirit of improving the wiki. At this point, the only supporting factor for including Ammonium Hydroxide is the label on the bottle. Rather than asking Sojovictor to edit the lecture or me to revert his edit, I recommend a third alternative that would be inclusive of both perspectives. Consider the situation and see if you might be able to welcome and include Sojovictor's perspective rather than rejecting it. If an inclusive solution eludes you, please let me know. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 23:52, 12 December 2017 (UTC)


 * - already done before you asked! Please see User talk:Sojovictor! Rejection or acceptance isn't the issue. The issue is a figure caption applicable to the free-media image. Also, "Ammonia solution, also known as ammonia water, ammonical liquor, ammonia liquor, aqua ammonia, aqueous ammonia, or (inaccurately) ammonia, is a solution of ammonia in water. It can be denoted by the symbols NH3(aq). It is sometimes thought of as a solution of ammonium hydroxide." from Ammonia solution; hence, the label on the bottle. --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 00:09, 13 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Just FYI, please see figure caption: "Solutions of substances in reagent bottles, including ammonium hydroxide and nitric acid, illuminated in different colors" from Chemistry. --Marshallsumter (discuss • contribs) 00:20, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Again, there is a simple way to include Sojovictor's perspective in the caption. Phrases such as "also known as", "better known as", and "more accurately" come to mind. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 00:23, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
