Explosive azides, acetylides etc

I think that pages that refer to these materials should contain a heavy safety warning. They can be made from chemicals that are available to the general public. They are extremely unpredictable and can explode with tragic results.

The same thought once occured to me but I learned otherwise. Per the manual of style: "Wikipedia articles should not include instructions or advice (legal, medical, or otherwise), suggestions" The most useful thing that someone chemically fluent can do is contribute content - synthesis, structure, bonding, properties - See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Chemistry. Heck, just fill in ChemBoxes.

Safety info is widely available by surfing and lots of chemically illiterate do-gooders insert such material often. You dont need to do anything. What WE Chem needs is chemistry. That is our mission.--Smokefoot 22:55, 4 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

OK, point taken. But I have removed the method of preparation of silver azide. Anyone who wants to synthesise it can look it up in the literature.
