Vegans

[edit]

Why isn't a vegan diet mentioned as a risk factor for selenium deficiency? Chaptagai (talk) 09:42, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is sometimes encountered ...

[edit]

Hi @Smokefoot. I'm wondering why you chose "It is sometimes encountered ..." over "The pure element has different physical appearances including..." in the intro? According to the article it does not occur in these forms naturally, so I don't think readers will encounter it that way. I used "pure element" to be clear that the sentence did not apply to its natural occurrence. Johnjbarton (talk) 18:36, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I thought that my phrasing was better than what was there before. It's not a big deal. I do not use "different" unless there is a following "from". Otherwise I use "diverse" or "various". Elemental forms are pure by definition it seems. So saying "pure element" is redundant. But it you think that I am off base or being too anal, then re-rephrase or revert. Also I am trying to show newish editors that someone actually reads recent edits. There are not many of us. Also I am fan of chalcogens.
On a related topic, one issue with these element articles: some focus on the uses/occurrence/etc of the element and mention cursorily some derivatives. Some articles like sulfur seem to give equal weight to just about anything with S in it, which makes for a messy article. Cheers, --Smokefoot (talk) 20:43, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
