When I expand this article further (FA, anyone?) I should write about that: element 106 was first observed at Berkeley in 1970 but was not recognised as such (see the chapter on Sg ofThe Transuranium People).Double sharp (talk)14:23, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make an FA out of this, I'd be willing to help. That information is definitely something to start with.ComplexRational (talk)19:40, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Double sharp: I wrote a small bit about this pre-discovery. If we would like to make this an FA, what must be done?ComplexRational (talk)00:04, 15 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@ComplexRational: Probably some more, to be honest. I'm not very happy with how this article currently is (even though I mostly wrote it): too many quotes. I thinkhassium andnihonium are probably the best models. :)Double sharp (talk)02:18, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Double sharp: Interesting find! It also nicely summarizes other claims about naturally-occurring SHEs.^Complex/_Rational12:27, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I should add this...Double sharp (talk)19:30, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• [Sg(H
  ₂O)
  ₆]⁶⁺
  converts to ions with less water and less positive ions.
• The only known oxidation states (as of 2023, according to the article) are +6 and 0.
• [Sg(OH)
  ₃(H
  ₂O)
  ₂]⁺
  has Sg in oxidation state of +4.

Is the single positive charge a mistake, or did the Sg oxidation state of 4 actually appear?Alfa-ketosav (talk)08:28, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The mistake was that an O was accidentally omitted, which I have now corrected to[SgO(OH)
₃(H
₂O)
₂]⁺
. Good catch.^Complex/_Rational16:31, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
