Stating that growth lines are visible under magnification in CVD diamonds is not challenged, nor is it likely to be; it's a statement of fact, not opinion.  Automatically deleting edits because of lack of citation would appear to demonstrate that the individual has not bothered to investigate the edit in any way shape or form.  Where proprietary training material is the source of the information it cannot be cited - and it is significantly more important that an article be factually correct than adopt the head-in-sand approach of "it isn't cited so it can't be allowed".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.155.207.92 (talk) 07:51, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

message: Just wondering, has anyone made, or tried to make, HCP diamond?  That is, the wurtzite structure with all atoms carbon. I once heard that it was more natural conversion from graphite. Gah4 (talk) 01:48, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

message: In today's Guardian there is an article reporting Dale Vince claiming plans to create artificial diamonds "uses carbon dioxide captured directly from the atmosphere to form the diamonds – which are chemically identical to diamonds mined from the earth – using wind and solar electricity, with water collected from rainfall." is this worth a mention in the article?— Rod talk 10:36, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I suggest not. It sounds like just a marketing gimmick. Diamond is a crystalline structure made of carbon, and you can get the carbon atoms from anywhere you want. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 09:18, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  "MOS devices" 

message: The History section says, "In the early stages of diamond synthesis, the founding figure of modern chemistry, Antoine Lavoisier, played a significant role. His groundbreaking discovery that a diamond's crystal lattice is similar to carbon's crystal structure paved the way for initial attempts to produce diamonds."  That doesn't make sense, because crystal structure is a property of a crystalline material, not an element.  It is an accurate paraphrase of the cited article, which states, "He discovered that the crystal lattice of a diamond corresponds to the crystal structure of carbon."  But I'm pretty sure that article is incorrect, because I have not found any indication that Lavoisier contributed anything beyond establishing that diamonds are composed of carbon.
