Cyclopentadiene as "Cp"
Thanks for adding that note about the copernicium symbol. Neat fact! DMacks (talk) 14:00, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

I told that person off
I saw what Oyashi77 did to your user page and I've told him off. I was angry when I saw what he did. BTW, I have Aspergers too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aspietoo (talk • contribs) 10:22, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi! I am Oyashi77. I am really sorry for having vandalized your account but please try to understand that my account was hacked by someone who vandalized your beautiful user page.

Copper


I'm not sure I agree with removing the section headers. Right now the section looks like a large chunk of unorganized text. While the subsections prior to your edit were short, the existence of subsection headers provided focus and impetus for further edits. If there should be fewer section headers, we should start with a general comment, then binary compounds (see Greenwood & Earnshaw), then coordination & organometallic compounds, followed by other things like Cu(III) which are rare. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 16:46, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Can you clarify what you mean by redundant? You've done good work on that article, but I'm concerned that you might be past trimming fat, and getting to muscle and bone. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 07:16, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * The article has information that is unnecessary for readers; that is the redundant information. The stuff on comproportionation and Cadiot-Chodkiewicz couplings are unnecessary details that add no useful information. Criterion 4 of the FA criteria says: "It (the article) stays focused on the main topic without going into unnecessary detail." True for this. (Where's the barnstar?) F R E  Y W A  07:29, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

The Cadiot-Chodkiewicz coupling and the related Cu-alkyne reactions are historically significant. It also gives the major side-product when you run a Sonogashira reaction. Not all metals comproportionate with their salts. I think it is worthy of mention here. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 14:33, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * They've been added back. Now find some references. F R E  Y W A  02:09, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Copper review
I'm reviewing Copper...could you, um, add more references to some chunks? Lanthanum-138 (talk) 07:04, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Astatine picture
At WT:ELEM you stated that the Guinness World Records 2008 book had a picture of astatine as a black solid. Do you have the book?? If so, could you scan the picture and upload?? We'd all appreciate it very much... Lanthanum-138 (talk) 07:36, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I have the book, the picture is on p. 150, bottom-right corner, but what licenses do I use since I took this from a book? F R E  Y W A  01:06, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The current solution (File:Californium.jpg, File:Polonium.jpg) is to use non-free poster. :-) Lanthanum-138 (talk) 02:50, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Hello?? Where's the picture?? Lanthanum-138 (talk) 09:37, 7 May 2011 (UTC)\
 * It may not be available soon. F R E  Y W A  10:10, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * OK. Once it's available, please upload! ;) Lanthanum-138 (talk) 10:20, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, no. This seems to match one of the fake pics I've seen before. What a shame! Lanthanum-138 (talk) 10:41, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Excuse me, if it is in such a widely sold book, why can't it be astatine? The authorities at GWR have checked the pic throughly and if they say it is At, it is. F R E  Y W A  10:52, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The image matches that fake pic (Materialscientist) agrees. The size is telling...no one has had that much astatine! (I think that amount would melt the ampule, if it were pure At.) Ve...ry...worrying. Anyway, it's not like it will be deleted immediately; there's a week for it to be on hold. I hope you don't feel bitten about this. Lanthanum-138 (talk) 11:31, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
 * In short, it's too good to be true. Lanthanum-138 (talk) 11:35, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
 * And the site for the fake pic says:

German: At-218 (Halbwertszeit 1,6 Sekunden) ist Teil der Zerfallskette von U-238, so daß Spuren von Astat in der hier gezeigten Pechblende vorhanden sind. Menge: 0.2 g Pechblende, entspricht 0.002 ag oder 6 Atome At-218.

English: At-218 (half life 1.6 seconds) is part of the decay chain of U-238, so traces of Astatine exist in the pitchblende shown here. Amount: 0.2 g pitchblende, corresponding to 0.002 ag or 6 atoms of At-218.


 * Conclusion - ...2 zeptograms is hardly sufficient...or even hardly insufficient... Lanthanum-138 (talk) 11:38 & 11:39, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

I don't think Alchemist-hp would have At at his disposal, besides, he may make great pictures for WP, but I don't think he wants to compromise his own safety. :-) Not everyone has an alpha particle gun, I'm not sure if he can gain access to one, but regardless, good luck if he tries to get an At picture! (Remember the saga with F?) Lanthanum-138 (talk) 06:51, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Apparently I may not be able to get the 40 MeV stated in the article. Remember I am an 8th grader in Singapore, a country with almost no synchrotrons or anything else. Sugestions for A-HP? F R E  Y W A  06:56, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I was actually referring to A-hp, not you above. Lanthanum-138 (talk) 08:50, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I may have to contact the Department of Research, Innovation & Entrerprise in my school to access the synchrotron. Tell you, this is real hard. Nobody makes astatine these days, it only belongs on the periodic table. F R E  Y W A  04:22, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Mustn't forget to get the bismuth first :-) Lanthanum-138 (talk) 05:12, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Astatine.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Astatine.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 03:58, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

GAs
Btw, Pd and Cn are currently on GAs. Care to review? :-) Lanthanum-138 (talk) 10:58, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Do you have any other comments? (Some of the people at WP:ELEM are thinking that you, like me, are rushing slightly through the GA process. Not sure if you knew about that already.) Lanthanum-138 (talk) 10:39, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

WP Elements in the Signpost
"WikiProject Report" would like to focus on WikiProject Elements for a Signpost article. This is an excellent opportunity to draw attention to your efforts and attract new members to the project. Would you be willing to participate in an interview? If so, here are the questions for the interview. Just add your response below each question and feel free to skip any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering. Other editors will also have an opportunity to respond to the interview questions. If you know anyone else who would like to participate in the interview, please share this with them. Have a great day. -Mabeenot (talk) 17:45, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you for participating in the interview. The overwhelming response shows the excitement and dedication of the members at WikiProject Elements. I had to trim some of the interview to make it a little more manageable and to reduce redundancy. The responses to the first question and the "anything else" question were used in writing introductions for each member. I also cut an unneeded question. Please take a look at the revised interview to make sure I haven't inadvertently changed the tone or character of your response. Also check to make sure I've used the correct pronouns when referring to you. None of these changes are set in stone and we still have plenty of time until publication in which we can tweak things. Pictures and a sidebar will be added closer to the publication date. Cheers! -Mabeenot (talk) 01:54, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Inline external links on Fluorine
Hey man, I put those external links inline on purpose. I think it looks like junk to have that stuff floating off to the right side and have a different appearance for some links from others. (Oh...and you didn't save any space, are actually taking more space now. Besides, I think an in order list is a lot cleaner than stuff floating.  And at the bottom like that, the space concern is not so big...besides if you really want it clean and tight, do two columns, not combining different-side justified links.) I'm not going to edit war you (it's stupid, gotta fix the chemistry first). Just get this. That was done that way ON PURPOSE, not as a mistake. See also painted turtle.

Massive changes without concensus on Floppy disk
My friend, it looks like you are a passionate Wikipedia editor like many of the rest of us. I appreciate that you want to contribute to articles and you make bold edits. You will likely find your edits more accepted by other editors if you discuss your desired changes on the talk page of an article first. Otherwise the other editors will feel you might be making changes without or against consensus and that is not good. On the Floppy disk article please review your desired changes on the talk page before making further changes so that we can discuss the pros and cons of those proposed changes. That will prevent your edits from looking like vandalism. Thanks for your attention. &sect; Music Sorter &sect;  (talk) 09:02, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Floppy article invitation
Hi, you're invited in taking active part in editing/patrolling/reviewing Floppy disk hardware emulator. Hoping you'll enjoy it as you enjoed Floppy disk. Blackvisionit (talk) 04:54, 7 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, maybe internal article disputing is over. Go on keeping an eye and be bold to refactor written english-text as you aslready did on the Floppy disk article. Blackvisionit (talk) 18:28, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Nobody's a Gom!
I see you're using the Gom template on your userpage, but I also see that there's a humour notice at the top. I assume you just like the picture, or you're poking fun at service awards? You'd have had to start editing Wikipedia in 1992 (about 11 years before it started) for it to be played straight! --Slashme (talk) 14:06, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
