Vanadium crystal bars and cube
Vanadium crystal bars and cube

Improved to Good Article status by Praseodymium-141 (talk). Nominated by BorgQueen (talk) at 15:21, 23 April 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Vanadium; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

  • Recent GA and neither me nor Earwig can find any copyvio. Source verified and cited inline. QPQ done. Hook is... interesting, though I would ask "what isn't detected in spectroscopy?". Just in case, I propose a couple other hooks, for the promoter:
  • ALT1: ... that vanadium (pictured) was named after the Norse goddess Freyja?
  • ALT2: ... that after vanadium (pictured) was first discovered in 1801, its discoverer mistakenly believed he had instead extracted chromium, and retracted his claim?

Thanks @Juxlos:. Your proposed hooks will need to be approved by someone else. BorgQueen (talk) 09:21, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
ALT1 approved. I agree with the concern regarding ALT0, and ALT2 is confusingly worded (it would need to be explained that the "mistakenly believed" was a second step for the "retracted" to follow). ALT1 works well and should attract readers surprised by the non-obvious connection between the two names. Onceinawhile (talk) 21:59, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am guessing that a mirror picked up the article at 94%. Bruxton (talk) 01:48, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Suspicious reference

[edit]
"It is oxidized in air at about 933 K (660 °C, 1220 °F), although an oxide passivation layer forms even at room temperature.[21]"

I can't find anything verify about this inside reference [21]. When I go deeper via that query string at the link of [21], I found this that have everything very similar to Wikipedia. I suspect citogenesis happened here. Nucleus hydro elemon (talk) 07:33, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
