[edit] I'm pretty sure there's been a mistake
I have a periodic table that was approved by the IUPAC, and it uses aluminum (as opposed to aluminium). I'm not going to change the article to reflect this, but it's a thought. Random the Scrambled 14:30, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
- Oh, never mind... I read the article on Aluminum, and it said that the IUPAC has several periodic tables that use only the 4-syllable spelling. Random the Scrambled 12:44, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
- American publishers may use their aluminum/sulfur/cesium, British publishers their aluminium/sulphur/caesium, both variants are IUPAC approved. Regionally independent publications use the standard aluminium/sulfur/caesium recommendation. Femto 13:45, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
- One thing confuses me. If Google searching for aluminum comes up with over twice as many results as aluminium, and searching for cesium brings up just under 3 times the results that caesium does, then why does the IUPAC use aluminium and caesium? (oh yeah, I remember why aluminium, other languages use spellings similar to it, but caesium?) Random the Scrambled 12:44, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

There are some other good search engines out there too.Dogpile.com for example Kinglou135 00:33, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Magnetogyric ratio/Gyromagnetic ratio
There seems to be some inconsistency in the name given to this ratio by different scientists. If anybody's interested, there's some discussion over the article title at Talk:Magnetogyric ratio. Cheers. -GTBacchus(talk) 09:53, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
