Thank you so much for the review. I'm so sorry for not adding the references. I was planning on compiling additional references tomorrow. I misunderstood your hold notice. I thought I would have an additional 7 days to finish up the review after the 26th of December. I am so sorry about the misunderstanding, I'm relatively new to Misplaced Pages so I did not know there was a time limit on GA reviews. Thank you again for your review, and I will try to nominate it again tomorrow evening after additional references and finishing touches are made. Sorry for the inconvenience. --] (]) 04:14, 2 January 2012 (UTC)


== Precious anniversary ==
: Nothing at all to be sorry about! We all misunderstand things sometimes; I have on wikipedia recently as well. I probably shouldn't be the next reviewer because I may have a bias now, but if you nominate it for peer review after getting it to GA I will try to review it. ]]<sup>]</sup> 04:35, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

: The IP (with no edits before this) changed a fact here to its exact opposite without a source or even an edit summary. I looked at the nitroglycerin and TNT articles on Misplaced Pages and they had no mention of one being more powerful than the other, only more reactive. Due to these factors, I assumed the change was vandalism and reverted it. If I was mistaken, please revert my revert. ]]<sup>]</sup> 05:45, 2 January 2012 (UTC) :{{ping|Gerda Arendt}}. Thank you!

:: Yes, lack of edit summaries is a common nuisance. My chain of thoughts was: more sensitive usually means more explosive, thus the IP might be right, let's check, yes it is right. I just didn't want to add a poor ref., but added now a book from Wiley. ] (]) 06:25, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Thank you so much for picking this up for GA! I really appreciate it. I was wondering if possibly that if you have started on anything to post it so I can jump on it ASAP.

== Edits removing elements with unknown chemical properties from the group articles ==

Group 9, group 10, group 11, the boron group, the carbon group, the pnictogens and the chalcogens (but not the halogens or noble gases) are not chemically defined categories of elements, so the elements Mt-Rg and Uut-Uuh can (and should) be kept in those articles even though their chemical properties are unknown. ] (]) 12:17, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi. :-) The article is looking in much better shape than previously (don't get me started on its previous state). Just a tip: the next time you want to do major work on an article that involves major reorganisation, you could do it in your userspace (e.g. ]) so that the intermediate stages (which usually don't look polished) aren't seen to the visiting reader, who only gets the old and new versions.

BTW, since you're done with the first phase, I'll actually start the "joint effort" soon. :-) The only major parts of ] left are (1) finishing up the periodic trends; (2) adding the chemistry section (this is a huge part); and (3) cleaning up all those pesky <sup>]'']</sup> tags. Good luck. ] (]) 15:16, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
:Thanks for the compliment! I am not working on it right now, as ] is my focus and I have limited free time, but once periodic table passes or fails I'll start working on ] again. In fact, I'm trying to model the article after ], as the groups are somewhat similar. ]]<sup>]</sup> 18:30, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Congratulations for the ] GA! Can we work on ] now? :-) ] (]) 12:57, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

::Since you're working on ], you can also help me with ] if you want, since there is a lot of overlap between the two. But currently I'm really working on ] and ], so feel free to start without me.

:::About ]: maybe mention He? It has an ns<sup>2</sup> configuration like the alkaline earth metals, but never behaves remotely like any of them. For compounds and reactions, talk about the main compounds – nitrides, oxides, hydroxides, halides, etc. – like I did in ], and then expound and explain Be's strange behaviour (yes, I know it's there already, but you can use examples like BeCl<sub>2</sub>, BeF<sub>2</sub> and BeO). As TCO said, "Be is just a funky bastard and kind of plays both sides of the street." ;-) After all, that is one of the reasons why Be (along with Al with its AlCl<sub>3</sub>) is sometimes considered a metalloid. ] (]) 06:12, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

It looks as though the likely outcomes are:
#R8R Gtrs' proposal, with my addition: the same, with the halogens category removed and "other nonmetals" becoming "typical nonmetals" (F, Cl, Br, and I becoming typical nonmetals, and At becoming a metalloid);
#Sandbh's proposal, at ].
Either way it looks as though the halogens category is going to disappear. ] (]) 06:25, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
