The longer answer -- None of them are trivia. Including all might make us heavy in chemistry, but at least we'd be heavy in an important area, in my view. The elements are close to the top of the tree. They are a finite set and a reasonable number. If you are confident of their quality, then I think
51:
I see some elements appearing in 0.5, and this prompts me to ask a question I've wondered for many months - what should we include? As a chemist myself, I'm pretty familiar with the element articles, and most of them are at least B-Class. It seems to me that we should definitely have elements like
31:
Based on responses to my earlier query (see below) I am nominating all of the chemical elements that have been discovered so far (no undiscovered ones!). I do not propose to tag all 115 or so elements, I only tagged
60:, but beyond that it's debatable. So let's debate it, then I'll put together a set nomination. Which should we go for? I think I favour option 2 or 3, though of course I'd most like 4!
232:
Maurreen +1! I think if we include all europian countries, all planets, then we should include all of the elements. Of course, if there is no stub among them.

Also, since this has been started here, if we get a clear consensus, any which way, we could maybe skip the set nomination stage.

Just include the whole lot of them (those that have been discovered) around 114 of them.
