I have a few problems with this list.

I've resorted the list to be by melting point as the title suggests. I've also added some more forms for different elements luckily, amorphous materials should have the same melting point as the most stable form of the element in question, right? Add more forms if you know em… (it turns out I don't have any books with any melting point data on phosphors apart from white for instance. Anybody?)
I've also added the 'standard pressure' specifier, though unlike boiling point, pressure has very little influence on the melting point. -- fvw * 07:12, 2004 Nov 21 (UTC)
--- Well am not that familiar with the subject, but I do know that ice at the bottom of a glacier melts becuase of the higher pressure. But maybe that is only because of the specific property of water decreasing its density wehn freezeing fro, water to ice. Therefore I think is not useless to mention the pressure.

shouldn't temperature be listed in Kelvin?
For updating this page I invite to use melting points of the elements (data page) as a reference. Femto 14:04, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Hey everybody isnt magnesium and manganese melting point confused?^^^^Joe F.
I have a more serious problem with this list: It sorts numbers ALPHABETICALLY! i.e. if sorted "higest first": Americium Am 994; Berkelium Bk 986; Sodium Na 98 <---! ; Silver Ag 961; Germanium Ge 938.3, etc.
And +999 temperatures are way down the list! The Boiling pint page seems OK though, so it might be a typo in the code. Can a savvy person fix it? p.s. "Yes, please" to the request for Kelvin p.p.s. yes, if ice melted under the pressure from ice skates then you could just stand still and slowly sink into the ice. :-) I think the pressure does have an effect but not as much as that. 87.81.62.83 13:24, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Ah, I see - if you keep clicking it it sorts with different modes. Would it be worth giving instructions? 87.81.62.83 18:21, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
First of all , water is not an element . It is a compound . Ice melts under pressure . There is a simple school experiment : Keep a thread with weights tied on both ends on a ICE bar . The Thread will pass throgh the ice Bar by melting the region it pass throgh but gets joined once the pressure is normal . Again water at bottom of lake does not melt under pressure . ICe being lower in density floats and protects bottom of the lake from solidifying ( This is natures way of protecting flora & fune in cold waters )
Otherwise it is wonderful & precise info . —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.200.40.194 ( talk) 12:46, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
--- Can the Fahrenheit equivalent be added as an additional column? Other list pages include °F as well as °C and K
