The phrase "Chemical Revolution" is still in use by some historians of science. If it's often not used the article should be more specific about who does/doesn't use it. Maestlin 15:24, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
You're right. I added that comment after reading the COTW for this article.--XenoNeon (converse) 17:38, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
You misinterpretated the comment I made. You were saying how the article can be improved, and that comment was to say 'And it is a stub for those reasons', I was not asking you why you thought it was a stub.--XenoNeon (converse) 20:40, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
It seems like the article focuses primarily on Lavoisier; it may be a more interesting and enlightening read if more background on what chemistry was thought to be before the revolution, as well as what came immediately after the revolution. Was this revolution accepted by the population or rejected? Loured36 (talk) 23:19, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
Do historians agree on what was and when the Second Chemical Revolution occurred? In this link ([1][1]), it appears that the Second Chemical Revolution happened in the mid-20th century because of improvements in instrumentation, but I thought the Second Chemical Revolution happened in the 19th century with the advent of the periodic table. Anyone know of a survey of the literature on these various Chemical Revolutions (what I will call "Second A" and "Second B" revolutions)?--Firefly322 (talk) 14:58, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
Unless their respective articles have the dates of their lives wrong, Jöns Jakob Berzelius and Antoine Lavoisier were not contemporaries. Berzelius's major contributions happened 10 to 20 years after Lavoisier was beheaded, i'm fairly sure of this. And I think the article comment that they were contemporaries is an achronism if not a form of presentism. --Firefly322 (talk) 15:31, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

I changed the order of Méthode de nomenclature chimique and Traité élémentaire de chimie to fall into the correct chronological publication order. Méthode de nomenclature chimique was published in 1787 and Traité élémentaire de chimie was published in 1789. Previously the Traité élémentaire de chimie was discussed prior to Méthode de nomenclature chimique. ThisIsForHistory (talk) 16:47, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
I will be adding sections for the scientists Humphry Davy, John Dalton, and Jons Jacob Berzelius below the Antoine Lavoisier section. These scientists were around during the same time and also made discoveries and contributions to the Chemical revolution and deserve their own sections. These sections are just beginnings and need to be added to and fleshed out more. ThisIsForHistory (talk) 16:10, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
Four sentences have been added to the end of the first paragraph on Antoine Lavoisier to help clarify that he was not the sole individual to discover the law of conservation of mass, and that other individuals before him contributed to the theory and its fundamentals. More detail is planned to be added to further discuss the earlier contributions of scientists before Lavoisier and how their work influenced the development of the principal of conservation of mass.
