[edit]

It is a waste of screen space to have such encyclopedic information. Please come up with classes that have fewer members or with links to WP articles that contain the information, perhaps WP category pages. DCDuring TALK 23:27, 30 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Sorry. I have no vested interest in lists of chemical elements. I just figured that if someone went to the work of creating a long list, we may as well preserve it. Perhaps it would be better to move it to the transition metal entry or something. Erutuon 00:23, 31 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
I'm sure the "work" consisted of cutting and pasting from a list, possibly already in a wiki format, with brackets and punctuation. In any event, I "hid" it under {{rel-top}}. It may be that all of or our semantic relations (possibly excepting synonyms) should be so hidden in its entirety. On long entries, some of us wonder whether monolingual English users especially manage to find their way through long entries with multiple Etymology and Part of speech sections. Non-English and multilingual users are necessarily more accustomed to paging down or using the ToC. DCDuring TALK 00:34, 31 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
