Information Sources: Some of the text in this entry was rewritten from Los Alamos National Laboratory - Potassium. Additional text was taken directly from USGS Periodic Table - Potassium. Other information was obtained from the sources listed on the main page but was reformatted and converted into SI units.
“Potassium” was semi protected indefinitely on Mother’s Day of 2019 (Sunday, May 12) because of vandalism, according to the edit history. It is also a high-profile article, so it must be semi-protected like all the other articles on well known elements 2603:8080:D03:89D4:F12F:8FF3:F8CF:640E (talk) 21:36, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.
In the commercial uses part, under the niche uses section, can you please add a () mentioning the states of each compound ?
example:
4 KO2 (s) + 2 CO2 (g) → 2 K2CO3 (s) + 3 O2 (g)
feel free to not, if it's too confusing or unnecessary Artin 72 (talk) 22:37, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not done: Your request is not clear. The source code does not contain the string you want changed, and what you want it changed to does not make sense either; neither is it found in the Sodium article. I'm also a bit concerned that your primary concern is not improving the article, but doing some sort of "fulfillment". Bazza (talk) 09:25, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Bazza 7, I'm regrettably sorry if you couldn't satisfy and turn my wish to keep the article looking seamless successfully. What all I meant is to change the source code to keep the code balanced like other chemical articles, which most of them use {{etymology|la|[Latin text]}}, rather than [[wikt:[Latin text]#Latin|[Latin text]]]. See gold, silver, tin, antimony for reference. 2405:4802:64C7:BF70:20BF:895B:4915:B58A (talk) 11:05, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
But I see nothing changed. Note for you: Don't break the original format, I want to let you know that to make it proper, simply clear or remove the couple word (from Latin) first, then add the text as requested. Doing so may avoid duplicating and doubling the word (from Latin), which is not grammatical. Therefore, it might become more and more redundant and not getting better.2405:4802:64C7:CFE0:20BF:895B:4915:B58A (talk) 01:42, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
{{etymology|la|[Latin text]}} should transfer to from Latin [Latin text]. It plays two roles: mentioning the origin, and the root term. You haven't deleted the word (from Latin) first, so it is duplicated. Be sure to check the preview first before performing any task then. 2405:4802:64C7:CFE0:20BF:895B:4915:B58A (talk) 01:47, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello again -- Apologies, but it seems my edit was Undone by another Wikipedian, which is why you see no change. Thus, this edit may be considered controversial or against Wikipedia's Manual of Style. I recommend consulting other users in a discussion and establishing a consensus before making this request again. Thank you! — Urro[talk][edits]13:04, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would, sincerely, open an existing request page (this one, to be honest) again since no one noticed and revised this ongoing discussion. Thus, there were no comments arriving here about whether the Latin root code needs reformatting. 2001:EE0:4BC4:4240:71D2:A29:A5C4:100E (talk) 09:41, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In the first paragraph in the section titled "Renal filtration, reabsorption, and excretion", I believe the amounts listed as mg in the discussion on the kidneys' handling of sodium and potassium, should in fact be g. There is no way that total daily intake of either sodium or potassium is in the mg range, yet replacement of excreted sodium is said to be no more than 1 to 10mg and that of potassium is said to be 1 to 4mg. At least I try (talk) 16:54, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
