[edit] Ti(III)
Dear Kelly, Smokefoot told me you were working on TiCl3 as part of an assignment, so I will not touch it too much at the moment. I see the page is rapidly expanding, and starts to contain some interesting facts (some that I did not know).
But, I noticed that there are several compounds on the page which are not Ti(III), so which do not have a direct relation to TiCl3 (except that TiCl3 may be the starting material, in which case they might find a place in the reaction section). I don't know if there is a page with a 'parent' Ti(II)-compound, I think that Ti(II) compounds could be moved there, and Ti(IV) compounds could be moved e.g. to either TiCl4 or TiO2.
May I also suggest you to include a section on the paramagnetism in Ti(III) ? I know it is a difficult subject, but I think it is an important property, after all it is the first transition metal in the periodic table that (within reason) has an oxidation-state that is paramagnetic, and people performing chemistry are either using Ti(III) because of it's paramagnetism, or will encounter the paramagnetism in the analysis of there products.
