Talk:Scrutinyite

Pronouncation
Is the IPA correct? {skruːtənɛit} would seem to be more intuitive. 213.160.108.26 (talk) 11:26, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I thought of skruːtnɛit when I wrote it, but either the pdf source in the article spells it as skruːtnɛitə or my IPA level is too bad. Materialscientist (talk) 11:43, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I thought the IPA might be a bit suspect too. If you listen to the sound file from Webmineral.com (one of the references of the article), then it's definitely "skroo-tuh-nee-ite" rather than "skroot-nee-i-tuh". Maybe skruːtəniːaɪt? Since it's a DYK article it might be worth resolving today. Brammers (talk/c) 12:22, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I've asked at the Language reference desk. Brammers (talk/c) 12:32, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Not sure about sound quality. Possibly the pdf assumed that ITE is a standard mineral ending which doesn't need phonetic spelling, i.e. there might be a mix of IPA and non-ipa in the article. Materialscientist (talk) 12:39, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
