Vandilism[edit]

Update on space group[edit]

A couple years ago, I tagged issues with the space group. There were no less than four separate symbols in scholarly sources (P42, P42₁, P42₁2, and P4/nmm). The source for symbol P42 cites a source that instead gives symbol P42₁2, so P42 is clearly a typo. I recently figured out that P42₁ is an archaic symbol from the 1935 edition of the international tables [1] (it was subsequently replaced with symbol P42₁2). Basically, notation aside, all sources agree on P42₁2, except Mehl 2016 who claims he re-analyzed the original data, and found a slightly higher symmetry of P4/nmm (P4/nmm is a minimal supergroup of P42₁2 [2], so this is a relatively minor difference). 〈 Forbes₇₂ | Talk 〉 02:28, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This edit request to Template:Infobox neptunium has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

"many false claims" is stated in the article, please specify what false claims or remove the line. The element was first discoverd by a romanian and it was not proved as a false or true claim. 84.232.193.86 (talk) 19:14, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk|contribs) 23:50, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Naming[edit]

I think the description on how it was named in the introduction paragraph is kind of clumsy. Anyone else agree? Jokem (talk) 03:40, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I replaced it with a more concise text. Not sure whether we should keep the mention of uranium even if it is quite redundant with transuranic. Feel free to improve. Jähmefyysikko (talk) 09:23, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
