Hi. :-) Talk:Fluorine/Archive 1#Elemental occurrence says that F2 (g) occurs in nature, presumably in the reaction ThF4 → RaF2 + F2 + α (since RaF4 doesn't exist). Immediately after escaping, this fluorine immediately decomposes water vapour in the atmosphere and leaves behind benign concentrations of ozone as its signature. Is this true? (The OP gave an unspecified textbook as a source.) If so, do you think it should be added into the article? Double sharp ( talk) 12:03, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Ref 294 ("Os fluoride theory") is broken. Double sharp ( talk) 03:48, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
While you are busily working on the fluorine article, I do have several suggestions. I have reputable references to the hydrogen-fluorine laser system, which would make an interesting addition. Also, the direct fluorination (fluorine diluted with inert gases) of polyethylene is a technology that should be included. There are companies currently practicing this technology and many scientific references to the process. It has even been approved for food use. (see 21 CFR 177.1615 - Polyethylene, fluorinated.) Having used elemental fluorine in the production of silver difluoride, I can only begin to appreciate the fun that must be. JSR ( talk) 20:06, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
You are doing better than I would do writing on an economics topic. Anyway, I can write something up, with references and drop it onto your talk page so that you can put it anywhere you want. Feel free to modify as you see fit. I can do the laser one also, it is not cutting edge technology wise, but DARPA spent a ton of money lazing the reaction product of elemental hydrogen and elemental fluorine back in the late 70's. Again, if you see fit, include it, if you don't I can put it somewhere else. It will likely be sometime tomorrow before I get the time to do either one. JSR ( talk) 23:09, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
Gtrs:
Tack onto the fluorinated polymer section perhaps:
Another method of manufacturing fluorinated polymers is the direct fluorination of polyethylene with diluted fluorine. Direct fluorination enhances the vapor barrier properties of industrial polymer components. Fluorination of plastic gasoline automobile tanks can result in an approximately one hundred-fold decrease in the loss of fuel from a tank when compared with that from virgin, untreated tanks. The fluorination process affects a surface layer of only around 0.1 to 10 microns deep and the bulk of the polymer remains unchanged. [1]

I think the vapor barrier use is significant and quite interesting, as well as useful.
Also, it puts a lie to the fluorine is too reactive to react directly with organics, so we might wish to modify that also.
The hydrogen fluoride laser can be found at that link or actually better at chemical laser. A link to those pages might be worth more than trying to spend any significant amount of time discussing them. In the 70's this was one of those Star Wars devices that were going to transform war in the air and in space. They'd spent too much time watching Star Wars. JSR ( talk) 18:27, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi. In the element 117 article, you say in the second paragraph of the "Chemical" section that "The sigma bonding shows a great antibonding character in the At2 molecule; ununseptium is predicted to continue the trend and a strong pi character should be seen in the bonding of Uus2." But isn't it disputed if At2 is known? So should the first sentence have a "predicted"? Iodine wouldn't be that good an example to use here (unlike the diagrams, where AtF3 could simply be removed).

Do you know of evidence that the atoms of OO9F18 will still spontaneously change to EE8O18 Oxygen when stored at 0 degrees Kelvin?

Hey man, hope your holidays are well...and that you are doing well with family and career. I did a little work on your baby. Feel free to change/revert/etc. You know I care more about you, young man, then some web page.
By and large, think the article needs some brushing up of the logic/structure/English. On more of a para organization level.
After that it will need some nitpicking comma-chasing go-over. ("copyedit")
And the refs (you are on that).
I can't promise to come back and work on it as my new year will be busy still and I have to take care of real work first before Wiki.
P.s. Your and String's analyses of which articles to work on are very nice work.
P.s.s. For Stringie, would be interested in a version of his PTQ that showed the gradations in some sort of spectrum from green to red (think that might be even clearer). Just to look at.

I disagree with your latest edit to Fluorine as there's no place to move this information elsewhere on Wikipedia and I think etymologies are very useful.

Nice to see you again at WT:ELEM. I am thinking about taking some time to get Sr to GA. Unfortunately I don't have as much time as I did last year to edit :-(, but let's see how it goes. :-)
On the transactinides, I'm stopping at Hs for the moment, wanting to get it to FA first before spamming Db, Sg, and Bh. (You told me to do that too.) Since what you said to me about expecting comments from you to come at the end of next decade pretty much implies that I'm going to have to look elsewhere for a detailed review, I've opened a PR.

Think it will be faster, more accurate (it forces you to check yourself more than the "black box"), and help page load. Let's leave this article as is, though. When we get close, we will need to do the whole massive format polishing. If you can get Nikki to just do it instead of critiquing that would be good. Otherwise, it will need to be you and others you can scrounge up.

Hello R8R Gtrs, I've added those references in response to your question on my talk page Sandbh ( talk) 07:45, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
I saw you created Wikipedia:WikiProject Elements/A-class review. The page looks inactive now, and reviews are handled elsewhere. Can I propose to delete the page (at WT:ELEM), or is there something I didn't get? - DePiep ( talk) 10:08, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi. In the element 117 article, you say in the second paragraph of the "Chemical" section that "The sigma bonding shows a great antibonding character in the At2 molecule; ununseptium is predicted to continue the trend and a strong pi character should be seen in the bonding of Uus2." But isn't it disputed if At2 is known? So should the first sentence have a "predicted"? Iodine wouldn't be that good an example to use here (unlike the diagrams, where AtF3 could simply be removed).

Could you give me some more comments? Thanks. Double sharp ( talk) 11:57, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
Hey, over at at Ununseptium, you still did not write about that wonderful graphic I made for you? ;-) - DePiep ( talk) 21:38, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Since it's the next candidate for the moscovium name and you expressed interest in working on the article, you might be interested in this discussion. Double sharp ( talk) 11:51, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Do you know of evidence that the atoms of OO9F18 will still spontaneously change to EE8O18 Oxygen when stored at 0 degrees Kelvin? The question is concerned with the possibility that the unstable proton of the Fluorine18 atom is paired with a neutron which would inhibit the beta emission decay mode. WFPM ( talk) 19:59, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
Well the mass of the 9F18 atom is less than if they were combined, so why shouldn't they be? WFPM ( talk) 03:05, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Hey man, hope your holidays are well...and that you are doing well with family and career. I did a little work on your baby. Feel free to change/revert/etc. You know I care more about you, young man, then some web page.
By and large, think the article needs some brushing up of the logic/structure/English. On more of a para organization level.
After that it will need some nitpicking comma-chasing go-over. ("copyedit")
And the refs (you are on that).
I can't promise to come back and work on it as my new year will be busy still and I have to take care of real work first before Wiki.
P.s. Your and String's analyses of which articles to work on are very nice work.
P.s.s. For Stringie, would be interested in a version of his PTQ that showed the gradations in some sort of spectrum from green to red (think that might be even clearer). Just to look at.

only takes template names (e.g. solid) as a parameter. Trying to manually adjust the color isn't working. Unfortunately, it may have to stay this way.

@TCO: Thank you for your care and the tips (very useful, I was running out of ideas). Hope your holiday is/was fine as well. Do take care of your RL. I'm fine as well. Won't probably be editing for some time, but will keep an eye on things.
@ST11: For a better viewability, I'd use a dark green--light green--yellow--(orange --)red pattern. Also, I'd make FA coefficient equal to 0, just not to mess up with articles that really need work, even if none would care about those. And would it be too peaky if I say ln isn't really comfortable to use (scientists for stat purposes typically use lg)?-- R8R Gtrs ( talk) 20:05, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
I think more of a gradient from fluorescent green to yellow to red would be good.
Now that Hs has passed GA, could you give me comments for reaching FA? Double sharp ( talk) 06:21, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
I disagree with your latest edit to Fluorine as there's no place to move this information elsewhere on Wikipedia and I think etymologies are very useful. The fact that the section 'digresses' into detail about other languages is par for the course with etymologies. Thought I'd better mention it here rather than simply undo, as requested. Regards, nagualdesign ( talk) 06:21, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
Nice to see you again at WT:ELEM. I am thinking about taking some time to get Sr to GA. Unfortunately I don't have as much time as I did last year to edit :-(, but let's see how it goes. :-)
On the transactinides, I'm stopping at Hs for the moment, wanting to get it to FA first before spamming Db, Sg, and Bh. (You told me to do that too.) Since what you said to me about expecting comments from you to come at the end of next decade pretty much implies that I'm going to have to look elsewhere for a detailed review, I've opened a PR.
(P.S. Any quick comments on alkali metal? I put it on hold for the moment to spam some other articles, but will get back to it as always. After all, I've only been working on it for just over two years. :-P) Double sharp ( talk) 13:58, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
I've been away for a couple of days, and I'm going away again tomorrow, with luck I'll be able to look later in the week. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:38, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

It probably has some chance for FP (50-50), but you will need to request a larger image (more pixels) from the doctor. Up to you. I did not want you to bug him unless it had a shot. TCO ( talk) 06:08, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
We'll need to crop it also, but can have Graphics Lab do that for us. TCO ( talk) 06:09, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
I think our smelting pic or perhaps one of the others would get an FP if we had sufficient quality on the upload also. They are very interesting draftsmanlike images. TCO ( talk) 06:13, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
1. Cite report was good for the Energetics tech report, but not the transparency market research report. I'm NOT citing the market research report (which is confidential). Use cite web please.
2. Also, you changed the TMR url, but the new url does NOT give the $$ info. So it does not support the sentence. Need to use that url that I gave you. Please web archive it also.
3. Similarly for the MandM citation, use cite web, not cite report.
TCO ( talk) 20:22, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
P.s. Thanks for your help. I really hate these cite templates. They are hard for me to work with (hurt my eyes and seem like a waste of my time). I think for my next article, I will just type out footnotes in AP (or MLA or whatever) style. Think it will be faster, more accurate (it forces you to check yourself more than the "black box"), and help page load. Let's leave this article as is, though. When we get close, we will need to do the whole massive format polishing. If you can get Nikki to just do it instead of critiquing that would be good. Otherwise, it will need to be you and others you can scrounge up.
