Editing Talk:Pinnick oxidation (section)

==Misnamed Reaction==
There is absolutely no reason to call the reaction as it is currently called (according to Pinnick). Anyone bothering to look up the original paper by Pinnick et al will wonder how this association came about in the first place. The paper did not introduce anything new, but evaluated several known methods for a specific application. It featured 1 example (!) of Lindgrens chlorite oxidation in the variation with amylene as chlorine quencher, earlier introduced by Kraus et al. Pinnick et al correctly cited the earlier work by Lindgren and Kraus, so there was no reason why anyone would ascribe this reaction to him, he simply applied a known procedure.[[Special:Contributions/2001:4CA0:2FFF:11:0:0:0:111|2001:4CA0:2FFF:11:0:0:0:111]] ([[User talk:2001:4CA0:2FFF:11:0:0:0:111|talk]]) 13:27, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
:The real name should be Lindgren chlorite oxidation, or just "sodium chlorite oxidation of aldehydes" to leave out personal or 19th century style nationalistic animosities.[[Special:Contributions/2001:4CA0:2FFF:11:0:0:0:111|2001:4CA0:2FFF:11:0:0:0:111]] ([[User talk:2001:4CA0:2FFF:11:0:0:0:111|talk]]) 13:30, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
::I don't see mention of any animosities in our article or its cited refs. But instead, we have two "[[name reactions]]" dictionaries that both give "Pinnick Oxidation" as the name for this reaction. Wikipedia is constrained to use what reliable secondary sources say, so you would need multiple strong references to give it a different name instead. I don't even see "Lindgrens oxidation" or similar names used as a synonym in those refs. Our article seems to correctly credit the other authors with the underlying/original reaction.
