Information Sources

Some of the text in this entry was rewritten from Los Alamos National Laboratory - Zirconium. Additional text was taken directly from USGS Zirconium Statistics and Information, from the Elements database 20001107 (via dict.org), Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) (via dict.org) and WordNet (r) 1.7 (via dict.org). Data for the table were obtained from the sources listed on the subject page and Wikipedia:WikiProject Elements but were reformatted and converted into SI units.

Physical properties and Characteristics do not match mp, bp

The Melting point and Boiling point listed under Physical properties (in the right-hand sidebar) and under Characteristics in the main body do not match. I am unsure where to find definitive information to correct this error. 72.135.238.191 (talk) 07:39, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GA concerns

After reviewing this article, I do not believe this article meets the GA criteria anymore. Some of my concerns are listed below:

I agree with the orange banner at the top that this article's lede is too short.
There are multiple uncited paragraphs and sentences

Is anyone interested in fixing up this article? If not, should it go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 22:27, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are many uncited statements, and an orange banner indicating that the lede is too short, which I agree with. Z1720 (talk) 00:13, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why don't you just fix it instead? Johnjbarton (talk) 01:43, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the intro and added refs for each citation needed. Johnjbarton (talk) 15:18, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnjbarton: I do not have the expertise, nor the desire, to find sources, evaluate their usefulness, add prose, and ensure that the article has returned to fulfilling the GA criteria. If others are interested, they are welcome to improve the article and ping me when it is ready for a re-review. Z1720 (talk) 16:06, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Z1720 Thanks for the reply, but I'm puzzled. On the one hand you're uninterested and lack expertise, but on the other you are evaluating and judging. Seems like an odd combination. Are you on some kind of assignment?

In any case I'll try to fix citations needed if they arise in the future. Johnjbarton (talk) 00:25, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnjbarton: An editor does not need to be an expert on the topic to review articles, nor to bring up concerns about uncited statements. Z1720 (talk) 15:53, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How can the oxidation state data be edited? It's not in the article and not in Template:infobox zirconium Johnjbarton (talk) 01:46, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
