Hi,

Since your pronunciations for the Latin-numeral names don't match the dictionaries, and in fact don't fit English phonotactics, I'm restoring the referenced pronunciations and adding a note from your ref that the official pronunciation is /uː/. However, it does seem rather odd to pronounce each of these as three words as you do in the sound files, e.g. /ˈʔuːn ˈʔuːn ˈkwɒdiəm/ (with glottal stops even, as if we were speaking German), when they're written as single words. I notice that when it comes to unbinilium, you do pronounce it as a normal English word, so I've converted that one to IPA, and adjusted the unbi's accordingly, but left the unun's as the dictionary pronunciation plus a note.

Also, would you happen to have any refs for where the period table may be expected to end, and why? Are, for example, the drip lines expected to converge somewhere around Z = 130 or so? I'm hoping for our coverage to be something a bit more substantial than our pathetic paragraph at End of the periodic table, which only refs the non-relativistic limit to the EB!

If people do pronounce them /'ju:n@n-/, then I think we should have both pronunciations, and probably a note that the names are scarcely used.
I thought that perhaps there might be a point in Z after which there is no nuclear cohesion at all, the way there is no Hydrogen-64 in any meaningful sense. What's the ref for Z perhaps petering out at 138 or so? It would be good to have s.t. a little more reliable than the EB. kwami (talk) 20:21, 16 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Why should the periodic table end? If the sequence of periods goes 2, 8, 8, 18, 18, 32, 32, to 118 in the standard and IUPAC tables; and more probably 2, 2, 8, 8, 18, 18, 32, 32, for a total of 120 in the Janet and Left hand step tables, it is almost apparent that the next 2 series lines will start out with an additional 18 numbers and have successive totals of 170 and 220. If you want to see a structural model of such an accumulation of nucleons look at Talk:Nuclear modelWFPM (talk) 12:03, 13 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Ununseptium edit

i am Cax17 the information that ununseptium is expected to have quailites similar to astatine or iodine is not inaccurate information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cax17 (talkcontribs) 00:28, 23 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Target-Projectile Combinations edit

Hi Drjezza Do you have a source for the lists you added to several of the heavy transuranium elements? For me it looks like you can use any combination which gets you the right mass, why are those so speciall? The use of pre-iron and post-iron elements to get the right p/n ratio? Thanks --Stone (talk) 06:53, 4 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Ununseptium edit

Hi is there any citable reference for the discovery of Ununseptium? Please join the discussion on Talk:Ununseptium. Thanks. --Stone (talk) 10:32, 13 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Rutherfordium edit

The reviewer for the good article nomination wanted to reduce the nucleosynthesis section of the aricle. As this is covered already in 1 to 1 copy in the isotopes of Rutherfordium page it might be good to keep it as a good summary and leave the detailed descriptions for the article on the isotopes. Is this Ok for you?--Stone (talk) 14:53, 8 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Please help with good article nomination of this article. Do you have source reference(s) for File:257Rf decay scheme 2006.png and for the uncited paragraphs of that article (see Talk:Rutherfordium/GA1)? Regards. Materialscientist (talk) 01:07, 10 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
Request seconded. I checked the history and found that the section Rutherfordium#Chemical yields of isotopes was mostly added by you on 4-5 Feb 2008. Do you remember where the data came from? Dirac66 (talk) 02:11, 24 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Ununquadium a metal edit

Hi,

the information you added to the ununquadium article recently ([1], on experiments indicating a metallic character of Uuq) sound interesting, but you did not give any references for them, as far as I can see. Could you add your sources to the article? Thanks! --Roentgenium111 (talk) 19:31, 2 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

I'd appreciate a reply. If you can't give a source for your addition, I'll be forced to revert them by Wikipedia policy. (I haven't been able to find any reference for it myself.) --Roentgenium111 (talk) 14:37, 3 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
