Tungsten
Tungsten rods with evaporated crystals, partially oxidized with colorful tarnish, as well as a 1 cm3 tungsten cube for comparison. Tungsten is a hard, rare metal under standard conditions when uncombined and is found naturally on Earth only in chemical compounds. Its chemical symbol is W, which represents its alternative name, "wolfram".Photo: Alchemist-hp

clarifying sentence structure/syntax

[edit]

The sentence about how steel can be alloyed with tungsten should be just that. Not that tungsten is alloyed with steel. It is steel (iron and carbon) that is alloyed not the tungsten. I suggest the wording of that sentence be rewritten. [this would be neither a visual edit or source edit. 23.93.72.184 (talk) 20:31, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Tungsten has the second-highest melting point of all known elements, not the first as this article states. Carbon has the highest melting point. 2601:47:4087:9E60:204A:A89F:ABB2:7B99 (talk) 03:25, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

At standard conditions, carbon doesn't melt (it sublimes). Double sharp (talk) 01:34, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In December 2024, Canada and the US announced the development of a large tungsten deposit in the Yukon territory. (See https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/mactung-mine-fireweed-metals-us-department-defence-1.7412022) Rexwoollard (talk) 16:58, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. also not sure how WP:DUE that bit of info would be here, especially if this is still "investing in pre-development activities" Cannolis (talk) 20:10, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Minor spelling error in biological section, bullet point "WptB is a permease" should be changed to read "WtpB is a permease". 82.4.46.92 (talk) 02:29, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
