I think this article should be not protected.
I conclude this as mentioned in title. 2001:EE0:4BC3:440:210F:B0D8:CCFD:2918 (talk) 14:09, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I disagree. Experience tells that unprotected an article on a school topic is very risky, especially in the middle of the school year. Materialscientist (talk) 12:12, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
 * If you cannot satisfy my fulfillment, would any of you mind changing or modifying the source code for a little words from from Latin kalium to  to ensure its consistency, especially in an encyclopedia? 2405:4802:64A8:D090:71E5:E055:6008:4DEC (talk) 05:36, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

In the commercial uses part, under the niche uses section, can you please add a mentioning the states of each compound ? example: 4 KO2 (s) + 2 CO2 (g) → 2 K2CO3 (s) + 3 O2 (g) feel free to not, if it's too confusing or unnecessary Artin 72 (talk) 22:37, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Edit request
Change the source code from kalium to ' to ensure consistency, like the source code of Sodium, where the code represents as '. Hope you fulfill my request. 2001:EE0:4BCA:FD50:B50C:773B:1A40:16BA (talk) 09:40, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Oops. Change the source code for Sodium too, where is written in a common way to  to maintain its seamless synchronization. 2001:EE0:4BCA:FD50:B50C:773B:1A40:16BA (talk) 09:44, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Please come here and help me done my fulfillment. 2405:4802:64C7:BF70:B50C:773B:1A40:16BA (talk) 00:53, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * ❌: Your request is not clear. The source code does not contain the string you want changed, and what you want it changed to does not make sense either; neither is it found in the Sodium article. I'm also a bit concerned that your primary concern is not improving the article, but doing some sort of "fulfillment". Bazza (talk) 09:25, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi @Bazza 7, I'm regrettably sorry if you couldn't satisfy and turn my wish to keep the article looking seamless successfully. What all I meant is to change the source code to keep the code balanced like other chemical articles, which most of them use , rather than [Latin text]. See gold, silver, tin, antimony for reference. 2405:4802:64C7:BF70:20BF:895B:4915:B58A (talk) 11:05, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The request was in proper format. Furthermore, the edit made was seamless and exactly as stated.

See again if that is listed in the article. Regards, 2405:4802:64C7:BF70:20BF:895B:4915:B58A (talk) 11:13, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

 * I have just mentioned the Latin spelling and its root for the chemical element, but nothing changed for other content shown except this one as wanted. 2405:4802:64C7:BF70:20BF:895B:4915:B58A (talk) 11:17, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * But I see nothing changed. Note for you: Don't break the original format, I want to let you know that to make it proper, simply clear or remove the couple word (from Latin) first, then add the text as requested. Doing so may avoid duplicating and doubling the word (from Latin), which is not grammatical. Therefore, it might become more and more redundant and not getting better.2405:4802:64C7:CFE0:20BF:895B:4915:B58A (talk) 01:42, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 *  should transfer to . It plays two roles: mentioning the origin, and the root term. You haven't deleted the word (from Latin) first, so it is duplicated. Be sure to check the preview first before performing any task then. 2405:4802:64C7:CFE0:20BF:895B:4915:B58A (talk) 01:47, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Exactly, the origin of the term is from Neo-Latin, so make yourself determined and insert the code as follow: . After that, the input code would result in . That's it. 2405:4802:64C7:CFE0:20BF:895B:4915:B58A (talk) 02:24, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello again -- Apologies, but it seems my edit was by another Wikipedian, which is why you see no change. Thus, this edit may be considered controversial or against Wikipedia's Manual of Style. I recommend consulting other users in a discussion and establishing a consensus before making this request again. Thank you!
 * That's okay, @Urropean, we need to get broad consensus before we go ahead! 2001:EE0:4BC5:F2E0:20BF:895B:4915:B58A (talk) 13:06, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I would, sincerely, open an existing request page (this one, to be honest) again since no one noticed and revised this ongoing discussion. Thus, there were no comments arriving here about whether the Latin root code needs reformatting. 2001:EE0:4BC4:4240:71D2:A29:A5C4:100E (talk) 09:41, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
