	== Overriding the phase field in element infoboxes ==

	Is it possible to override the phase field automatically inserted from {{tlx\|Infobox element/symbol-to-phase}} in the superheavy element infoboxes? Currently for example {{tlx\|Infobox oganesson}} reads "unknown phase ''(predicted)''" under "Phase at STP", which is rather odd: it should really read "solid ''(predicted)''", but only for the infobox (so periodic tables should still give it the unknown phase colour). ] (]) 03:14, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
	:{{done}}: infobox reads {{tlx\|Infobox element/symbol-to-phase}} by default, and {{para\|phase\|any text}} overwrites this value. {{para\|phase comment}} nicely can have ''(predicted)'' and a reference. This overwriting currently happens only in infobox Fr(!) and Z=100 - 118 (Fm-Og); I did not change these infoboxes. Z>=119: phase not shown at the moment. -] (]) 10:21, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
	::Thank you! As for Fr (and At, really): I am a bit sceptical of those figures and will look around for where they come from, since macroscopic samples of these elements have not been made. Probably they will become "unknown phase" when I find out. ^_^ ] (]) 10:33, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

	== July 2018 ==

	DePiep, I thought you had agreed to stop altering the capitalization of "middle ages" back in , but you seem to have continued doing so, and continued mislabeling it as a "typo" (and labeling your revert as a "minor" edit) in . Given how you behaved in the January discussion (going out of your way to take offence when I complimented you, and then twice posting "It's resolved -- let's stop talking about it") before going back and doing the same thing two months later with an almost identical edit summary, this seems somewhat tendentious: I would encourage you not to do so again. ] (<small>]]</small>) 15:15, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
	:Ouch, a very disappointing experience that must be. Maybe it is not all that bad. At the moment I don't have time to respond extensively and carefully, so I will reply later on. -] (]) 18:25, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
	::]: you write {{tq\|1=going out of your way to take offence when I complimented you}}. To be clear, do you mean to say that, back in January, I ''deliberately'' misunderstood your wording "useful-ass edit summaries"? (I note that later in that thread, its meaning was clarified and so I struck my objection).
	::Then if it was a compliment re my editsummaries, why do you now write {{tq\|1=doing the same thing two months later with an almost identical edit summary, this seems somewhat tendentious}} -- if it was a compliment back then, why do you judge it to be the opposite as a ''blame'' while being 'almost identical'?
	::As for the content of that discussion (capitalising of "middle ages/Middle Ages"), what would you describe is the final conclusion of that MOS-thread? To me it is not clear. -] (]) 07:52, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
	:::That definitely seemed to be the case. Your somewhat troll-ish comments elsewhere in the discussion back this up.
	:::Yeah, because you would not have an identical edit summary unless you went back and copied the wording you had used earlier, before we had agreed that "middle ages" was acceptable. That means you knew that the edit you were making was disruptive, and your edit summary is evidence of that. That your edit summaries are often useful in establishing your intentions is a good thing, but when your intentions are disruptive ... well, I guess it's still useful when your edit summaries make that clear.
	:::The final conclusion was "don't change it", with perhaps a touch of "capitalization is usually only for the European Middle Ages".
	:::] (<small>]]</small>) 23:37, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

	== Different uncertainty-expressing technique ==

	I've tried a different method of expressing the uncertainty at ]. There are doing to be some difficulties, but so far, it seems like it will be much easier than what we were trying before. What do you think? ] ] 18:07, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
	:{{re\|The_Nth_User}} I am active in RL, so have little time to dive into this. Also, I have indicated that without using Lua these calsulations are extremely difficult to program and test. Meanwhile, many months later it is a pity that we did not implement our first, already improved version. Now this is working into Perfect version while skipping the Good. Finally: on ] I have added the reference Possolo (2018). It has a defining and authoritative description on how to calculate. It also has examples (to test; I did add them to the testpages). I am still waiting for your statement that says: "Yes, we will go by Possolo (2018)". I cannot check the other uncertainty calculations you introduce, and I don't see why we would use them. -] (]) 07:18, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
	::Okay; I'll change it back. Also, while I thought that I had already stated it, I am calculating the uncertainty using the method that Possolo (2018) uses and planning to continue using that method. ] ] 16:05, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
	:::Fair enough, could not find it right away. (and I lost the location of the Possolo test excamples). -] (]) 16:43, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
	:::How do the testcases look now that I restored an earlier version of ]? I notice that the result in the right column for fluoride at ] conflict with the calculations that I made at ], but I can't figure out why, as enthalpy of formation is included in the mass calculations. The only other potential problem that I could find is that for carbon dioxide and ozone, the sandbox version gives molar masses that are a little higher than the established version, although this is because I altered the molar mass of oxygen because it didn't fall inside the standard range. (I did the same for thallium.) Can you find any other potential issues? ] ] 23:42, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
	::::re: NO I WON'T SPEND ANY MORE TIME ON THIS. Is what I said. -] (]) 18:56, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

	== GHS errors ==

	Can you clear out your recently-created ]? The pages in this category are also and as the guy who patrols and fixes general errors, I can't immediately figure out what to do. So you might just make these populate the category without transcluding {{t\|error}}. Thanks, ] (]) 15:31, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
	:They ''are'' an error. True, someone should/could clear that out (in the template maybe?), but we cannot ingore the error in there. ] (]) 18:34, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
	::What I'm asking for then is either (1) fix these for me or (2) explain what the errors are and how to fix them. You've put them in the top-priority work queue, so they should be fixed now. ] (]) 18:41, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

	:::{{ec}} re ] I don't understand. These are pages with an error, so they are categorised. What's the issue? -] (]) 18:43, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
