needs a section on lithium exposure and obesity

this is a known thing, separate from prescription lithium 2601:645:100:8380:0:0:0:DFE5 (talk) 02:04, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

Do you have a reliable medical source about this hypothesis? Note that popular science coverage, such as in news media, is not acceptable for medical topics. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:37, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

India finds 5.9 Million Metric Tonnes of Lithium Reserves in Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir

Geological Survey of India has for the first time established Lithium inferred resources (G3) of 5.9 million tonnes in Salal-Haimana area of Reasi District of Jammu & Kashmir (UT) on 09 February 2023. This makes India the country with Second Largest Lithium Reserves in the world. Hemshailabhthe1 (talk) 18:39, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

Lithium Isotopes

It's been known for almost a decade that Lithium 7 is produced in ordinary novae. (Actually it's beryllium 7 that's produced and it decays to Lithium 7.)98.183.98.6 (talk) 15:20, 9 March 2023 (UTC)Syd Henderson

Split production into another article: feedback encouraged!

The current article is 7k+ words, way too long for most readers. I propose splitting the Production section into a separate article "Lithium production" and including a brief summary here. This would also sharpen this article's focus on the element itself. I also have some material to add, but don't want to make the article even longer. Lfstevens (talk) 02:07, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

Natural abundances references unclear

I cannot find the claimed abundance-values in the two cited references. I can however find an alternative reference claiming a different value (https://reader.elsevier.com/reader/sd/pii/B9780444511157000024?token=FEE1A595881CF0D109756AD7F87F83C394C8B249329B4FD12D3ADBFCF41EA837704E92729B7848FAB7F6274B890ABFEB&originRegion=eu-west-1&originCreation=20230510080244).

"low enough thermal neutron capture cross sections" apply to slow neutron MSR breeders

Because the "low enough thermal neutron capture cross sections" are not particularly relevant for FAST NEUTRON MSR breeders, I recommend the following change (Notes section, recommended change in uppercase): "are the only nuclides with low enough thermal neutron capture cross sections aside from actinides to serve as major constituents of a SLOW NEUTRON molten salt breeder reactor fuel." 84.236.10.100 (talk) 12:14, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

Changes in pricing

Under "pricing' this should be added:

Chile's President Gabriel Boric made an announcement on April 20, 2023, stating that the country intends to nationalize its lithium industry. The stated goal behind this decision was to stimulate economic growth while also safeguarding the environment, and came after a 70% plunge in prices caused by weakening EV demand in China.

No change, per se. I stated that "Under "pricing' this should be added." This is additional, timely information.
