Please forgive duplicate posting, some of you may have seen this earlier: CAS released the following announcement on Wednesday:
CAS, a division of the American Chemical Society, is pleased to announce that it will contribute to the Wikipedia project. CAS will work with Wikipedia to help provide accurate CAS Registry Numbers for current substances listed in the Wikiprojects-Chemicals section of the Wikipedia Chemistry Portal that are of widespread general public interest. The CAS Registry is the worlds most comprehensive collection of chemical substances and the CAS Registry Number is the recognized global standard for chemical substance identification. CAS views Wikipedia as an important societal tool for the general public; and this collaboration with Wikipedia is in line with CAS mission as a Division of the American Chemical Society. We look forward to working with the Wikipedia volunteers over the next few weeks to make this happen. We at the Wikipedia Chemicals WikiProject would like to thank Chemical Abstracts Service for their kind offer of assistance in validating our CAS Registry Number information. We also look forward to working with CAS in the future. Martin A.
