After the sad event of termination of Loong's account, his nomenclature questions cannot be searched easily anymore. Therefore, I've decided to section his 263 answers (as far as I've been able to find) based on the topic they deal with. I'll be adding answers for each section and they will be listed in the main question.

  1. General Principles, Rules and Conventions (2013 P-1)
  2. Parent Hydrides (2013 P-2)
  3. Characteristic (Functional) and Substituent Groups (2013 P-3)
  4. Rules for Name Construction (2013 P-4)
  5. Selecting Preferred IUPAC Names and Constructing Names of Organic Compounds (2013 P-5)
  6. Applications to Specific Classes of Compounds (2013 P-6)
  7. Radicals, Ions, and Related Species (2013 P-7)
  8. Specification of Configuration and Conformation (2013 P-9)
  9. Parent Structures for Natural Products and Related Compounds (2013 P-10)
  10. Miscellaneous

    $\begingroup$ For various reasons, I'd think that sorting them by the section of the Blue Book referred to, or the specific rule, is more useful. Firstly, that often gets closer to the crux of the question than just which molecule it is being applied to; and secondly, that makes identifying duplicates and related questions much easier. However, I'm not sure that a post on Stack Exchange is a good way to do that. Some kind of database, or at least a spreadsheet, would likely work better. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Woah @SafdarFaisal you’re doing a noble job. I am new to CH SE and I don’t know who Loong is but seeing the quality of his answers, I know why people are sad on his account termination. I saw the link you posted above, in reply to Ed V’s comment. Very sad about the new moderator policy. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ You don't need to use [title](link) syntax for Stack Exchange questions, just put the bare link, the title will be shown automatically (and will be updated if the question title is edited, which some of these titles really do need). The caveat is that you must put a link to the question, not the answer, which I suggest anyway because answers only make sense in context of the question. I edited the first few ones. $\endgroup$
