You really have to laugh at the sloppiness of Wiki so-called 'editors'

[edit]

The intro says it was discovered simultaneously by 2 people. Then in the history section, it says that only one of them discovered it. Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.21.84.208 (talk) 13:47, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

NFPA704 Hazard Codes

[edit]

The NFPA704 hazard codes (4:health/0:flamability/0:reactivity/white:special) are almost certainly incorrect. I was able to find the codes for cadmium powder (3/4/3/white) via cursory google search, but nothing official for solid metal. I have also found significantly conflicting categorizations for it here, here and here, all of which seem to be using the OSHA category numbering system in which 1 is the most hazardous and 4 is the least hazardous. At least based on the guidelines here and the oral LD50 that seems to vary between >1g/kg and ~200mg/kg depending on the source, the solid metal should be a (2/0/0/white).

chemical element infobox, "physical properties" in Georgian language

[edit]

The first line under "physical properties" in the Georgian language version of the chemical element infobox begins with the word "აგრეგეგატული" ("agregegatuli", 'agregate'), but it should be spelled "აგრეგატული" ("agregatuli"); i.e., there is an extra "ეგ" ("eg"), at least in the articles for silver and cadmium.
