| − | :::::Being a Nazi ended it for him. Russians don't like Nazis and wouldn't allow the name to go through. Meitnerium was a carefully chosen slap in the face. I wouldn't count on Hahnium happening any time soon.[[Special:Contributions/172.70.115.185|172.70.115.185]] 14:12, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

| | What about the two categories implied by "Ends in a number, let it slumber. Ends in a letter, not much better"?

| | :I'd say "all in both". Any given "fooium" is going to be a reactive element that (especially as you go further down) is nasty to deal with 'raw'. But not as nasty as "fooium-123", which highly suggests a nuclear decay product that will further decay.

| − | Currently Titanium appears twice in the table. Sebastian --[[Special:Contributions/172.68.110.60|172.68.110.60]] 20:36, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

| − | :Fixed. Some of the elements are split between "groups", but titanium is solidly in the "regular metals". [[User:BunsenH|BunsenH]] ([[User talk:BunsenH|talk]]) 15:50, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

| − | ::Okay, there seems to be some disagreement on this one. The titanium box (4th row, 4th column) is almost entirely in the "regular metals" region; in fact, the region swells up ''for'' titanium so as to capture most of that box. Should it be listed in both that region and the "boring alloy metals" region? I don't think so, but ...? My inclination is to have it in only one group, which is obviously "regular metals".

| − | I had a bit of time to spare, and I was considering the following either as a reworking of the table or an "indexing" table (make all xkcd main/overlap class names link to the appropriate internal section-headers, so we don't need to squash them up into a narrow column, and can add a "complete list" of elements to as a closing paragraph if that seems best) ...

| − | ...some notes:
| |
| − | *I did play with rowspanning, but my added sortability didn't make it worthwhile. It breaks the rowspanning then doesn't remake them, upon sorting. And doesn't make a span out of things sorted into connection.
| |
| − | *I also tried a few things out in Common Class. It all started off as Group id (except for Lanths/Acts), then I started going fancy.
| |
| − | **There are arguably some classifications that work well ''or'' against the Munrovian definition, interesting in both cases.
| |
| − | **Maybe I should have done a "Transition metal (special subclass)" type of thing, or stuck with "x-block" variations, or something with the standard metal/non-metal/semimetal thing.
| |
| − | **There's also the option of background colouring the lines by some specification or other. But I couldn't decide what scheme to use that for.
| |
| − | *For "main" xkcd classification, I gave whatever (seemed to) cover most of the element tile. For "overlap" I gave only those secondary classifications that did more than ''apparently'' accidentally stray over the line (e.g. on the way to/from covering other tiles, diagonally away from where they most obviously applied).
| |
| − | *I didn't bother to check that every classification I assigned was true (and/or intentionally funny, of course). Nor if it matched the existing table's assumptions.
| |
| − | *Where there's (common/notable) alternate forms of things I ()ed the form that I don't think Randall uses, but others certainly do (or have). I'm personally a Sulphur/Aluminium person, myself, e.g., and my unasked-for spellcheck really doesn't like the alternatives, but I'm not a Wolfram one.
| |
| − | *As I was making sure the Group column sorted nicely, I sneakily gave the Lanths/Acts 'pseudo group' numbers to perhaps keep them/restore them to the correct relative position without ''necessarily'' relying upon an Atomic Number sort. You can also do anything you like with the non-sort display item for that column ("Group IIb"/etc), that way.

| − | I initially read the 'don't bother learning them' line as saying that these elements are "hard to pronounce in large quantities". Which, funnily enough, isn't far wrong.[[Special:Contributions/172.69.194.121|172.69.194.121]] 09:04, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
