What is the 222 rule

Capital H in title[edit]

Is there any reason why the article is Gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid as opposed to Gamma-hydroxybutyric acid? Looking at the references it doesn't appear that sources use a capital. SmartSE (talk) 12:45, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Gamma is not considered as a word, it's just the Greek letter γ written out. The first English letter of an article title is always capitalized unless there's a trademark reason not to do it (Wikipedia:Article titles) and the specific guideline for chemical articles clarifies that non-letter prefixes are not considered as the first "letter" for purposes of article-title capitalization (Wikipedia:Naming conventions (chemistry)). The real name would be "γ-Hydroxybutyric acid" if starting actual article pages-names with Greek letters were not discouraged for various reasons. You actually can go to Gamma-hydroxybutyric acid and you'll be at the article as expected. DMacks (talk) 13:31, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Interaction with Valproic acid - Logistics[edit]

Two quick things: I am not sure if my insertion of valproic acid (VPA) inhibition of GHB was put in the right section, I put it in "Endogenous Production." If you feel it should be moved, then go ahead.

Second, I am not sure if I cited correctly. The information I gathered was from textbook by Rene H. Levy entitled Antiepileptic drugs. If someone wants to clean that up I would be more than grateful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aglo123 (talk • contribs) 20:54, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

GHB Report to the California Legislature by Stephen Fowkes (Rapport parlementaire public -> pas de droit d'auteur - pas de copyright)[edit]

Merci de consulter la page de discussion de l'article Gamma-HydroxybutyrateButyric acid en langue française pour retrouver l'intégralité e ce rapport parlementaire important. Ou mieux, allez consulter la page originale sur un site majoritairement en français où elle a été trouvée. Le mise en page en page est bonne et il y a des surlignages jaunes signalant de sparticularités physiologiques importantes. Merci aux anglo-americains bilingues ou aaux francophones plus doués que moi actullement (j'ai été très bon, mais là je suis un peu rouillé) de trduire ce commentaire en langue britannique. Sorry !En plus, je n'ai vraiment pas le temps. http://wij.free.fr/ghb.htm Ce texte important permettra de rectifier de nombreuses ineactitudes qui existent dans la version anglo-américaine (voire de refondre totalement l'article (ce qui me paraît assez obligatoireet d'indiquer tous les effetsbénéfiques pour la santé humaine qu epermet cett molécuke.

Ce site est très, très bien. Il s'appelle Double Vigie (prononciation des lettres w, i & j en français). Il s'abrde ainsi : http://wij.free.fr/wij.htm qui donne accès à une page expliquant brièvement et avec esprit la 'philosophie' du site et le choix entre deux sections : . le M@illeur de sMondes Mouvants & . l'éM@illeur des mots éMouvants Deux très belles allitérations que ne permet pas la langue anglo-améraine et qui en plus sont pleines de sens très évocateurs. Si vous comprenz un peu mon français, allez y vous risquer d'avoir envie de faire de gros progrès pour saisir touyes les subtilistés d'une langue très enrichie par rappport à la moyenne de clle que produisent des intellectuels pourtant réputés. IL y a beaucoup de poésie moderne. Un très beau poème sur le ski (les américains aiment beaucoup cette activité sportive. Ils ont de belles stations (les françaiies sont nettement meilleures et on y a plus de liberté d'évolutions un peu risquées...) jpg aka "Le Dernier Consul" qui fait référence au Général Bonaparte - 1er (des 3) Consul(s) avant de se faire couronner Empereur : Napoléon Ier.LeDernierConsul (talk) 07:58, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Memory[edit]

Current (4 March 2023) article says, "In multiple studies, GHB has been found to impair spatial memory, working memory, learning and memory in rats with chronic administration." So it impairs spatial memory, working memory, and "memory"? Redundant as written. Is the third use meant to be "recall" or "procedural memory" or what? Note also that two of the references are single papers about rats (not systematic reviews or human studies), so fairly weak. IAmNitpicking (talk) 15:12, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unsolicited d[edit]

There's a 'd' after source 44 that shouldn't be there 😡😡😡😡 Alissuhhh (talk) 15:32, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
