Statuses, history, etc.

 * Chemistry in your element (not yet complete; 11 more to go)
 * The last eleven (well, twelve, counting tritium) haven't been linked from there, but can be found at Nature's website.

(More gold-mine sources may be found in the references to most of the articles on superheavy elements, all of which have been updated to the latest information we are aware of, and all of which are GA or better. ^_^)


 * 2016 Symposium
 * Complete conference proceedings


 * IUPAC & responses
 * TWG report from 1993 for 101 ≤ Z ≤ 112: IUPAC recognition of elements 101 to 109 (Md, No, Lr, Rf, Db, Sg, Bh, Hs, Mt)
