message: In building an aluminium vessels is lead sheeting a good idea to use directly on aluminium.
There is no seawater where it is being used.
Its purpose is to protect electrical cables from aluminium sharp edges.
Is this good practice.

replies: text: Even if it is cleaned up, what is the purpose of listing these applications, when the article isn't discussing the individual elements anyway? Seems to me any applications belong in the article for each element, not here. YSSYguy (talk) 11:10, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: We could leave a summary of the most important applications here, listing the more obscure ones on the element pages. But I think a better solution, which would stay closer to the topic of the article might be to include only applications where the fact that the element is in the carbon group is the main reason behind the element's ability to be used in that application.

message: I have raised my concerns at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Chemistry#The term crystallogens for group 14: a case of citogenesis?, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Elements#‎Is crystallogen a case of citogenesis?, and Wikipedia talk:List of citogenesis incidents#Crystallogens. I unfortunately must number myself among those who assumed too much good faith or simply assumed there were references they could not access along the way and now have egg on their faces; at least the situation here isn't as bad as on French Wikipedia, where the article is still at Cristallogène, which seems to be just as non-standard in French.

message: Flerovium wouldn't necessarily be toxic based on radioactivity. Those are 2 different things. For example, bismuth is radioactive (more than a billion times the age of the universe) and is not significantly toxic. Lead is considerably toxic, sure no one disputes that, but radioactivity doesn't make it toxic. 74.135.194.87 (talk) 04:11, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
