Invitation to discuss on Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Cyrillic)
Hello! As there is already an only proposed Wikipedia guideline on naming conventions (Cyrillic). The proposal is still in development, under discussion and needs of gathering consensus for adoption. Since I am well experienced on this subject, I would like to criticize the official transliteration of Bulgarian as it gives too many errors, which also causes some losses of sounds “ǎ (a hacek”), decentralise itself from other slavic languages (“c” and “š”  voices), which is also conflicting in itself (see street signs  and ). By this revision, it is away from being accurate and not able to satisfy the needs of an encyclopedia which claims to be scientifical. These are the reasons I invite you to read Scientific transliteration of Cyrillic and involve the discussion in order to contribute a possible concensus. Wish to see you here thanks Manaviko (talk) 13:28, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Hg and Cn
Thank you! From what I see, the most recent Cn (and Fl) predictions are for very volatile and inert elements that nevertheless are still metals and undergo metallic bonding (seen experimentally with Cn–Au and Fl–Au metallic bonds). I would personally bet that the most common oxidation state of Cn will not be +4 but 0. Recent studies incidentally place even the existence of CnF4 in doubt. So stands firmly the periodic table, steering its elements deftly between the twin threats from relativity and quantum mechanics. Double sharp (talk) 13:42, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

From the site you gave for the Russian proposal of "becquerelium" for element 110
I see the front page of the cite has an animation which looks to have some names that were considered for the transcalifornium elements: I see that 102 (joliotium), 103 (rutherfordium), 104 (kurchatovium), 105 (nielsbohrium) are there exactly as we give, and it looks like we instead have 113 (becquerelium), 114 (dubnium), 115 (langevinium), and 116 (flerovium). Do you know who's there for 112? I can't see the symbol very clearly and I'm slightly ashamed to say that I don't recognise the person. Double sharp (talk) 05:21, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
 * These names of the elements 113–116 are a proposal of the author of that site (Артём Буслаев) who considered that IUPAC and IUPAP underestimated Soviet research. For 112, he proposed "lavrentium", after Lavrentiy Beria, and for 118, "moscovium" (with the symbol Mw, which suggests the spelling "moscowium"). After IUPAC approval of 112, 114, and 116, Buslayev changed his proposal: 102–105 by Soviet names, 107 as dubnium (so Niels Bohr and Dubna come to be swapped in comparison to the IUPAC version), 106, 108–112, 114, and 116 by IUPAC names. Burzuchius (talk) 09:25, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Interesting; even if I dislike "lavrentium" as a name (Beria only supervised the project; Kurchatov is a more worthy eponym IMHO; and why does it use his first name?), it is interesting to see how it is close to "lawrencium" (and, indeed, IUPAC considered changing its name to "laurentium" to make it easier to use in other languages).
 * I do sympathise with his opinion to some extent; I'm not terribly impressed by the standards applied by the most recent JWPs, and I think that if you were accommodating enough you could reasonably give Dubna credit for all of elements 102–108 (and I have voiced that opinion here based on the standards applied for elements 114 and 116). But I would not go that far myself; in fact, I rather agree with the TWG's conclusions (if not the JWP's; for one thing, I still think there is reasonable doubt for elements 115 and 117 at least), and I only think that element 102 should indeed have been renamed to "joliotium".

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!
Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Russian alphabet
Hi. I think you may be right. My phrasebook has other errors, but Berlitz is Berlitz Corporation. If you know, can you explain why the letter Э was called э оборо́тное before. I thought it was like и краткое, so there was и, и краткое, and и оборо́тное, otherwise why wasn't it just called "Э" before? UserTwoSix (talk) 17:55, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
 * The letter Э comes from reversing the letter Е, hence the word оборо́тное (backwards). One may argue that saying э оборо́тное is pleonastic, it should be either just э or е оборо́тное, but apparently there was some confusion on naming the letters е and э. Yakov Grot wrote: "буква е представляет йотованную, или облегченную, гласную, почему и название ея в азбуке должно произноситься «йэ», а не «э», как обыкновенно ее называют". So, the name э оборо́тное was used to distinguish э from е. Now the usual name of э is just э, but э оборо́тное is occasionally used when one wants to emphasize: "э and not е".

Vanadium
I have for some time had misgivings about attributing the discovery of vanadium to del Río, because he thereafter rejected his own claim, even though he was right. Is he more often credited these days?

Thanks for the updates to the discovery timeline, BTW: I had wondered about Na and K. It's good to have this 2022 review, because since discovering earths and elements were sort of identified in the XVIII century, it finally allows us to have more reasonable discovery dates, and not attribute a ton of metals to Davy when everyone already suspected they were there. (Of course, he belongs in history as the isolator.)

But who should we attribute fluorine to? Lavoisier? Scheele? Double sharp (talk) 15:26, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Here is a rare source (in Russian) that does not attribute many discoveries to Davy: . The table in the source places K, Na, Ca, Si after P and H (attributed to Boyle, 1671) and before Co. But who is meant, I don't know. Burzuchius (talk) 16:24, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, that mentions Scheele for fluorine indeed. I must get a hold of what he actually wrote. Double sharp (talk) 03:02, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Huh, I was wrong about del Río. I had taken Paneth's word for it that he rejected his older claim, but Marshall and Marshall present evidence that this is not the case. And Berzelius and Wöhler themselves agreed that vanadium was identical to del Río's erythronium. So, I've restored him. Double sharp (talk) 14:12, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
