Talk:Lead

Some of us discussed the elem & chem infobox earlier, and seemed to agree, that the last thing we ever wanted was a really long elem infobox or chem infobox. In other words, only the key things should be in, with the idea that other physical attributes could be put in the article or under a separate subpage. A really long infobox leads to a bad layout for articles. Note all of the white space in this article at the top. I think you will find fair resistance to changing the chem and elem infobox to be this inclusive. An alternative might be to have a physical properties infobox later in the article in a physical properties section where things like boiling pts and crystal structure forms, UV-vis, NMR, refraction, etc could be placed.

There's actually a discussion which I hope you would have found on the talk page of this particular template in use; I meant to post it to the chemistry workgroup page but there didn't seem to be that much activity there. Please weigh in. --Robert W King 16:10, 31 March 2008 (CDT)

Temporary commenting out

I've temporarily commented out the infobox, because it is just not ready for implementation. --Robert W King 10:55, 1 April 2008 (CDT)
