Information Sources

Some of the text in this entry was rewritten from Los Alamos National Laboratory - Gallium. Additional text was taken directly from USGS Gallium Statistics and Information, the Elements database 20001107 (via dict.org), Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) (via dict.org) and WordNet (r) 1.7 (via dict.org). Data for the table was obtained from the sources listed on the main page and Wikipedia:WikiProject Elements but was reformatted and converted into SI units.

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 2 external links on Gallium. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

Missing word in 'other uses' section.

It currently reads "This experiment showed that the solar neutrino flux is 40% than had been predicted by theory." Presumably there should be a 'lower' or 'higher' in there. 80.176.229.143 (talk) 21:40, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, my goof. Should be "40% less". Thanks. Grammar's Li'l Helper ^Talk 21:45, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

	7. Overall assessment.	This article deserves to be passed, despite the absence of the nominator.

A suggestion would be to include a few more photos, but it is not a must. Gug01 (talk) 21:22, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I added a few pictures. There aren't many pictures of Ga compounds on WP, I suspect because they tend to be colourless. Double sharp (talk) 04:59, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
