Symbol
[edit]If the name has been changed, then why hasn't the symbol?Cameron Nedland 15:04, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
- The name was never changed therefore the symbol shouldn't either. Porygon-Z 20:09, 7 March 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Porygon-Z474 (talk • contribs)

Isotopes off by ten ?
[edit]The text talks about isotopes 269 and 271 (which is what I had from other sources) but the infobox says the known isotopes are 279 and 281; which is consistent with the decay products they claim, but perhaps the error is there, too. — Eddy 84.212.132.95 (talk) 13:49, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
- All four of these isotopes are known. 269Ds and 271Ds are mentioned first and in many books because they were the first to be discovered. 279Ds and 281Ds are the two most stable isotopes (and are still in the text, but maybe a bit later), hence they are in the infobox. The infobox only includes the most stable isotopes, so there is no error, but feel free to suggest anything if you think this distinction can be made clearer.

Half life of Darmstadtium listed in text versus chart
[edit]The text states a half life is 12.7 seconds, while the chart has a stated half life of 14 seconds. Should this be changed? Bike36 (talk) 23:59, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
- These values are subject to change due to the small number of atoms synthesized, though the most recent source appears to be {{NUBASE2020}}, which reports a 14-second half-life. I have updated the text accordingly. Complex/Rational 00:53, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
