@Shinnigami0123 The problem is that we have another article titled Element Six, for a company, while the hatnote is pointing out that Element 6 is a redirect to carbon. In fact, if you look at any article about elements, we tend to use the atomic number as digit(s) in the first sentence of the article. This is an exception to the common style of expressing numbers from 1 to 10 as words but is done for consistency. Mike Turnbull (talk) 14:47, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Half-life mentioned in the "Isotopes" section should be changed from 5730 years to 5700 years.
Reasoning: 5730 years is a historical value, with new sources indicating 5700 years, instead. The value of 5700 years can also be found in the list of isotopes in the InfoBox on the top of this page. Valentyn235 (talk) 08:33, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
H, C and O, if referring to hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen; should be pluralized as H's, C's, and O's (with apostrophes); as opposed to Hs, Cs, and Os (no apostrophes); to avoid confusion with Hs = hassium, Cs = cesium, and Os = osmium. The fact that hassium is an unstable, artificial element which has never been procured in macroscopic amounts, doesn't mean that clarity isn't compromised by the absence of said apostrophe. I remember, a chemistry book which was available online for free as a PDF, did said plurals without an apostrophe; which annoyed me. Solomonfromfinland (talk) 03:03, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria due to uncited statements throughout the article, including entire paragraphs. Is anyone interested in addressing this concern, or should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 03:27, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
