I think I didn't that I aded the text "Silver Valley, (in) Idaho is the world’s largest silver contributor." I only added the text "Silver is a naturally occurring element. It is found in the environment combined with other elements such as sulfide, chloride, and nitrate. Pure silver is “silver” colored, but silver nitrate and silver chloride are powdery white and silver sul fide and silver oxide are dark-gray to black. Silver is often found as a by-product during the retrieval of copper, lead, zinc, and gold ores.

Can anyonde please add the info that is hereunder to the article of silver? Its is protected to edit...
Silver is a naturally occurring element. It is found in the
environment combined with other elements such as sulfide,
chloride, and nitrate. Pure silver is “silver” colored, but silver
nitrate and silver chloride are powdery white and silver sul
fide and silver oxide are dark-gray to black. Silver is often
found as a by-product during the retrieval of copper, lead,
zinc, and gold ores. Elfling1979 (talk) 15:20, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[1][reply]
The above has some significant errors. First sulfide, chloride and nitrate are NOT ELEMENTS!! Secondly, while the Chloride and Sulfide anions are single element ions, and the term 'element' could be stretched to include them, nitrate is a molecular ion of N and O atoms. Secondly, it's self-referential to describe silver as "silver colored". Preferred would be "metallic" or "white metallic" or "colorless metallic". Third it is almost certain that it's not found as a powder. Fourth, minerals are often (usually?) colored differently from the pure compounds because of the presence of trace contaminants. While I do not know for a fact, the claim that these minerals are found as either white or dark gray is dubious and requires a reference. As a whole, this article is - as far as I've read - of fair quality, but has a lot of deficiencies, imho. In the medical section, it's implied that its in vivo toxicity is RELEVANT to the amounts of silver ions present, CLINICALLY, in the human body, due to the presence of metallic silver. This claim also requires a better citation. Finally, (although I'm not mentioning a number of other flaws), I came to this article looking for the amount of lead, Pb, in silver coins (in circulation). NOTHING? SERIOUSLY?? Wow. To add insult to injury, the contamination of Pb in Ag jewelry was widely publicized about 20 years ago. Again, nothing here about it. Why not?? If silver is often obtained from lead ores, then it should be obvious that the trace levels of Pb ought to be mentioned. This article (which is pretty typical for Wikipedia) conflates the minerals and ores found in nature with the pure compounds only found in the lab.
