Can someone tell me why this article exists? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.30.7.217 (talk • contribs) 10:21, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why not? It's a rather legitimate topic. Lanthanum-138 (talk) 14:02, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly, though with the lack of sources it's hard to say. I don't see how it belongs on the Biogeochemical template those; those are all about chemicals needed for life. Mercury just happens to pass through living creatures. Bennetto (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:18, 30 March 2011 (UTC).[reply]

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified 2 external links on Mercury cycle. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{source check}} (last update: 5 June 2024).

Since toxicity and regulations regarding mercury is already covered in Mercury (element), removal of those sections in mercury cycle page needs to be considered, so the cycle itself can be more focused. More information regarding natural sources and sinks from peer-reviewed papers will need to be covered in this page. There are decent amount of source cited in this page, and most of the links worked properly. However, there were less peer-reviewed papers than the page should have. Numerous sources are governmental, and there is one reference from a magazine. Additional peer-reviewed papers would make this page more scientific, intellectual, and neutral.
