Is it really necessary to keep a version of the periodic table in the article? This is a dictionary, not an encyclopedia, and IMHO it distracts more than it brings clarity to the entry. //Natox 21:37, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

IMO, it makes the page more interesting. I don’t find it distracting, I think it’s like including a graphic image. —Stephen 13:43, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The table takes up a lot of space where it is now, but I don't really know where else to put it. —CodeCat 15:32, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It would go well in a linked appendix, replaced by a more compact image, possibly of the basic table with the "rare earths" telescoped beneath. DCDuring TALK 18:58, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
An Appendix:Chemical elements aleady exists. --EncycloPetey 21:29, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
