"Publically" is a variant spelling of "publicly", not a misspelling. Stgpcm (talk) 22:45, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Spelling#Misspelling of "publicly" seemed to reach the conclusion it was in the dictionary, but it appeared to be a recent change. I saw your change in a British English article, about a topic that post-dates 1982. I'm not sure what the difference between oed.com and oxforddictionaries.com is.

Ah, I see what you mean. As far as those two sites are concerned, oed.com seems to be subscription only, and oxforddictionaries.com appears to be an abridged version. In the past I've looked things up in oxforddictionaries.com and noticed that they're missing there, but present in oed.com. TheBlueBlur (talk) 15:55, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Edit reversion question[edit]

I note you reverted an edit I made on the unsolved problems in chemistry page. Yes, there are two citations provided - however - they are citations for the _solar_ question, as you see if you look at the edit history link I included. The edit added that line about 'transitional physical chemistry'. The citations were added well before the edit I reverted in question, and do not refer at all in any way to it. Do you have any argument that the references in some way match the citation? SpeedEvil (talk) 23:08, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
