@Kwamikagami: please be kind and try to explain yourself here. ----Երևանցի ^talk 12:18, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Why remove his name? Why delete useful information? I don't understand. — kwami (talk) 15:30, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Take a second and look at the article before your edit. The Russian name stood in the intro—as it should. Why transfer it to the "Personal life" section. His Armenian name is secondary and is included in a footnote. ----Երևանցի ^talk 15:40, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, thanks. I didn't see the footnote. I can add the pronunciation to that. Personally, I think it's distractingly cluttered to have all this stuff right at the start of an article (in some article, there's half a paragraph of details like this before the text of the article even starts), but that's an MOS discussion. — kwami (talk) 23:41, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Age 90?

It says he was born at age 90. Why? 104.187.66.104 (talk) 14:41, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That’s a standard template. Telling you someone’s date of birth, and therefore how old they are. OGBC1992 (talk) 15:00, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. But it's still kind of confusing. 104.187.66.104 (talk) 23:33, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect claims?

Some claims I disagree with occur such as cold nuclear fusion being "unrelated to the unproven energy-producing process cold fusion" and hot nuclear fusion as "also unrelated to nuclear fusion as an energy process". They are actually quite closely related. The physics occuring is quite similar, only to generate electrical power the nuclear process must be exothermic, while in heavy element creation the nuclear reaction is endothermic.

Name in Armenian?

The wikipedia article transliterates his surname as 'Օգանեսյան' (Oganesian), but the stamp in the image has it as 'Հովհաննիսյան' (Hovhannesian). Which is it? And why the difference? Brosefzai (talk) 07:59, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The number of elements named after someone is not two

There is also Einsteinium so there are more than two named after someone. The claim in the first paragraph citing the source [7] is factually wrong. 213.200.218.214 (talk) 16:34, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oganesson is named after a living person. The only other case is seaborgium, so there are only two. For other cases, the element is named after the person died. Nucleus hydro elemon (talk) 02:49, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
