After some years in Wikipedia, trying to correct errors in the field of geology (mineralogy and geochemistry), I am finally convinced that there is no space for sci-discussion here. Authorities like the International Mineralogical Association also does not seem to be relevant. The constant reverse actions of my changes show that time spent here is simply wasted. I am a mineralogist/geochemist, but this (and this is not new to me) does not seem to be relevant, too. Please remember, that you write about discussion with the International Mineralogical Association, which was constituted many years ago exactly to set the correct names of mineral species. IMA does not recognize "tantalite", "columbite" or "polycrase" (IMA list of minerals can easily be reached in their webpage). May I ask a question: what is more RELEVANT: a correct species name, or choosing extravagantly precise and long citations instead of a simplified (and still correct and "at root" ones)?

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on
the voting page. For the Election committee,

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Manganoblödite requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war. Users are expected to
collaborate with others, to avoid editing
disruptively, and to
try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.

Hi Eudialytos, I appreciate your message. In relation to geochemistry I have a question, which may not yet have an answer, what is the process in which samarium is concentrated in minerals such as Monazite-(Sm)? And, ... do we have an article here on the IMA systematic naming rules?
When I was a teenager I wanted to be a mineralogist, but I did not follow that up. However now I can write about them. I am making some articles on families of substances with more than one anion, for example Fluorocarbonate. I have started a bunch of drafts like User:Graeme Bartlett/fluoride phosphate, User:Graeme Bartlett/carbonate sulfate User:Graeme Bartlett/carbonate chloride, and I find that many of the known substances are natural minerals. This give me a clue that chemists could make a lot more artificial solid chemicals than they have so far. Graeme Bartlett ( talk) 21:16, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
I do not recall a paper on the IMA systematic naming rule. There is also not a single rule: mineralogy, as chemistry or any other science, is complex (which I tried to explain to a chemistry-based "moderator" here; but he was stubborn and ignorant in his finding of chemistry being "above" mineralogy). As you noticed for yourself, many (actually most) minerals are complex, multi-cation and multi-anion compounds. Some are true salts, some are not. Some represent new types of matter, both in terms of crystallochemistry (quasicrystals: decagonite, icosahedrite) or magnetic properties (quantum spin liquids: herbertsmithite, vésigniéite). This unique characteristics of herbertsmithite was largely not addressed before the finding of this mineral, although its synthetic counterpart was, almost certainly, known before. There is much more to come; 110-115 is a yearly mean no. of new mineral species; large part of them represent new types of structures. I am really glad and I admire that you wrote these drafts on such complex salts/minerals. I wanted to study chemistry, but I was suggested to go to geology. I sometimes "miss" chemistry, but I know it would be impossible for me to study both... there is a lot of maths in chemistry which would undoubtedly be harsh for me (-; Eudialytos ( talk) 12:49, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
I was struck by the changes you made to Helium today, as something I was unaware of. However, Helium is a Featured Article and is therefore held to the most rigorous standards of sourcing. Would you be kind enough, therefore, to add citations to the sources that you obtained your information from, please? Cheers -- RexxS ( talk) 23:22, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
... any material whose verifiability has been challenged or is likely to be challenged, must include an inline citation that directly supports the material. Any material that needs a source but does not have one may be removed.
"REE-and Th-bearing variety of uraninite.". The source also agrees that
"The first portions of terrestrial Helium (He) were obtained during Cleveite dissolution in sulfuric acid". My objection has been, and remains, to Eudialytos changing the article to state that helium was discovered in uraninite (which I feel misleads the readers and mis-states the sources), and adding the phrase " cleveite (correct name: uraninite)". I contend that no sources have been brought forward that contain that phrase, and that Eudialytos' assertion that uraninite is the "correct name" for cleveite is simply editorialising. Helium is a Featured Article and deserves better than that. If you examine the article history, you'll see that Eudialytos has attempted to edit-war his preferred version into the article three times. If you check Talk:Helium #Cleveite or Uraninite, you'll see that I opened a discussion immediately after my initial revert, and that another editor offers an informed view, but there is no post by Eudialytos there. I make that (1) edit-warring; (2) failing to engage on article talk; (3) failing to be cautious when editing a FA. I have now wasted far too much time cleaning up the mess made by Eudialytos, and I'm not exactly predisposed at this point to be forgiving any further. -- RexxS ( talk) 19:59, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
