Started this article as a stub

Nathaniel Gunby expressed an interest in writing this article and asked for help in getting it started. So I started the article for him. I also created two of the subpages for him. Milton Beychok 17:25, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

All right, basics are done. Images, history, and theory will be added over the next couple of weeks.Nathaniel Gunby 22:03, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
Good start, Nathaniel. I am going to upgrade the status to a 2 (Developing article) on the metatdata template ... and I will await your further development of this article. Milton Beychok 22:45, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
I plan to take the "Theoretical considerations" header out of here, and leave this article pretty much to the practical aspects of aromatic hydrocarbons. I think aromatic theory should be discussed in its own article not written yet, called Aromatic compounds (or maybe something similar). See my comment at Talk:Hydrocarbons#Aromatic.

The Aromatic heterocycles link you added into the Related Links subpage

Nathaniel, I converted that link into the form we use at CZ for links in the Related Links subpages. Just look at the edit page for the Related articles to see the template we use. Then I also converted the resulting red (unwritten) link to a black "lemma" article which is what we call definition-only articles. Someday, when you have the time, I will explain how to create lemma articles ... it is not something you need to learn as yet. Milton Beychok 06:56, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
