Here a dilemma arises. I would enjoy writing these additions, but then I lose the right to approve  the article on my own (in that case David and I need a third chemistry editor, at least, this is how  I understand the law). I will contact Larry Sanger about this dilemma.--[[User:Paul Wormer|Paul Wormer]] 04:01, 21 December 2007 (CST)

[[User:David_E._Volk|David Volk]] asked Milton Beychok [[User_talk:Milton_Beychok#phosphorus_approval|here]] to approve this article. Milton answered [[User_talk:David_E._Volk#Approval_of_Phosphorus|here]] that the article needs more references. That is why I added two (Stillman and Ketelaar) references.--[[User:Paul Wormer|Paul Wormer]] 03:40, 27 February 2008 (CST) PS.

Before approval

I made a few minor changes (see diff). Before approval I would like to add some remarks about

  • the history of the element and origin of name
  • phosphorus is not phosphorescent
  • role of d-orbitals in binding

Here a dilemma arises. I would enjoy writing these additions, but then I lose the right to approve the article on my own (in that case David and I need a third chemistry editor, at least, this is how I understand the law). I will contact Larry Sanger about this dilemma.--Paul Wormer 04:01, 21 December 2007 (CST)
