- @SyntheticSystems: I'm sure it's not an issue, but for due diligence is it possible to show me the article (or for someone with a subscription to the Arizona Republic to confirm the article makes this assertion)? --Prosperosity (talk) 21:57, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

- @SyntheticSystems: I'm still unable to access the source to 100% confirm, but as far as I can tell there haven't been any other major mercury spills in the state, and it's a reliable source (even if it's behind a paywall, and the newspaper has blocked Internet Archive from archiving their site). I've changed my review from ? to pass. --Prosperosity (talk) 00:40, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

- SyntheticSystems It is less sensational but accurate. I think I would use the word "among" as a more common usage. We will see if Prosperosity agrees to use the hook. I think it squares with the exerpt that I am able to see in the given reference from the Arizona Republic article:
Two boys sitting in front weren't paying attention. One was a junior, the other a freshman. They had noticed a plastic bottle on the open shelf next to their desks. They removed the screw cap, looked inside, and swirled around a metallic liquid they did not recognize.
Bruxton (talk) 19:51, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
Curious, they poured some onto the floor to see what would happen. The boys liked how the liquid balled into tight beads. The freshman scooped it up from the floor and put it into an empty Gatorade bottle. - SyntheticSystems ALT1 sounds good! Among is probably the better option, since it's a US school and this is the more common US spelling. --Prosperosity (talk) 21:59, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
