Why is it claimed to be both the seventh trans-uranic element and the seventh actinoid ? That doesn't look right. It looks like it should be the eleventh actinoid. Eregli bob ( talk) 04:47, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
Considering that Einsteinium and Fermium were both created in the explosion of a thermonuclear bomb, and that supernovae are far more powerful than any bomb that has ever been created, wouldn't it make sense that these elements may exist in trace amounts in supernova remnants? -- Ferocious Flying Ferrets 19:45, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
Es-254 (& Fm-254) are not produced in thermonuclear explosions since the beta decay chain ends at Cf-254, which does not undergo beta decay (it decays by spontaneous fission or, rarely, by alpha decay). (Similarly, Fm-253 is not produced either since Es-253 never decays by beta decay.) 69.72.27.249 ( talk) 06:42, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
In the History section it states, "Some 238U atoms, however, could absorb another amount of neutrons, most likely 16 or 17, resulting in the 254Es and 255Es isotopes, respectively." (The following sentence says, "...also resulted in the 253Fm...".) 69.72.27.156 ( talk) 02:56, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

This is my first review...I have no idea of what to expect. But still, you can leave comments and I will address them. Check out my peer review as well. Good luck, editors. FRE YWA 02:24, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
Ready to review.
Specifically, for section 1A, in the section on organomettalic compounds it says, "So experiments, have been performed..." and the comma there is something I want you to fix. For section 3B the section on the synthesis in nuclear explosions is a wall and looks intimidating. FRE YWA 08:09, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
Hold it - where is the a parameter for EsOCl (look at Chemical compounds → Halides → the last paragraph)? The prose is really good. Remove that "a = " and I will list einsteinium as a good article soon. I have to remove the a parameter myself. Then it will be a good article.

Einsteinium was actually used for something! The Surveyor 5, 6, & 7 lunar landers carried an instrument that analyzed the chemical composition of the moon by measuring the energy of alpha particles from Cm-242 after they bounced off the lunar surface. Es-254 was "placed near the detectors as an energy marker" (Science vol. 158 p. 635). 69.72.27.39 ( talk) 07:01, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
If its actually used for something , why does it say that it's not?
Why is "Athenium" an alternate name? -- Beland ( talk) 03:10, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

This article states that no isotopes of Einsteinuim occur in nature. However, in the Isotopes section of Californium's infobox, it show 253Cf as occuring in trace amounts in nature, presumable due to random transmutation/multiple neutron capture. However, several sources confirm that this isotope beta minus decays ~99.69% of the time into 253Es. Wouldn't this count as naturally-occuring Einsteinium?

Since this article went GA (in 2011, see above), the sources need a new check. Some papers are not citetemplate-covered, and a dozen or so {{ sfn}}s are created by some construct. - DePiep ( talk) 22:00, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
I wanted to edit the infobox, but all i could see was: {{infobox einsteinium}}
How can I edit it?

Does anyone else think this seems kinda out-of-place? The element wasn't discovered by Einstein or anything, and it seems to have been an arbitrary relationship based on Einstein being a great physicist after whom a bunch of other scientists decided to name it. If the article had a dearth of images it would make more sense, but that isn't really the case. Hijiri 88 ( 聖 やや) 10:58, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
