RfC: On discovery of the 23 nonmetals
Should this content on the discovery of the 23 nonmetals be removed from the nonmetal article?
RfC is here. --- Sandbh (talk) 13:37, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
Neptunium
The infobox image for neptunium was recently replaced by File:Neptunium_metal.jpg because the old image didn't show the pure metal. It will need to be reassessed for Wikipedia:WikiProject_Elements/Pictures. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 00:47, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- Probably it should be a C, given the low resolution. But it's likely difficult to find anything better. Double sharp (talk) 06:01, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- The infobox image for plutonium is being discussed at Template talk:Infobox plutonium#Infobox image and may be changed to File:Plutonium ring.jpg, so it may need reassessment too. HertzDonuts (talk) 17:44, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
"the"
@Grendon84 has been systematically changing the first part of elements like:
- Selenium is a chemical element; it has the symbol Se and atomic number 34.
to remove "the":
- Selenium is a chemical element; it has symbol Se and atomic number 34.
The edits are marked minor and have no edit summary.
If there is an agreed form this it should be cited in the change. If not these changes should not be made, they are just annoying and to me they read like a word is missing. Johnjbarton (talk) 16:57, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- To my understanding, the form without "the" was initially approved, though I prefer using "the" as it reads as a bit more natural. 108.160.120.147 (talk) 13:13, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
