WP:ANI—Proposed editing restrictions and conditions
For the next six months I will not edit articles of interest to WP:ELEM, broadly construed, unless there is WP:ELEM consensus. Of course, if no one chooses to check my proposals for consensus, then there will be no consensus, and no edits for you to check.
Exceptions
- Vandalism reverts, gnomish work e.g. spelling or grammar corrections, links, adding or correcting citations, minor housekeeping, edit requests by a WP:ELEM member.
- Subject to the agreement and guidance of R8R I would like to be able to edit aluminium in order to complete the work bringing it up to FA standard.
Subject to EdChem's agreement I propose to zoom with him, in order to discuss and clarify his concerns, including IDHT, and seek further guidance as to the way ahead. I will post a summary of this to an appropriate part of WP. He has already raised these concerns with me, and there is nothing like a f-t-f meeting even if remotely.
More generally, in my sandbox, I would like to redraft an FA standard periodic table article, for subsequent consideration by WP:ELEM members.
Further, I would like to be able to participate at FAC, including editing improvements in FAC articles generally.
If these conditions are accepted by EdChem and DePiep [subject of course to any refinements or additions], I will alert YBG and DS about them via PM.

About
Sandbh is an acronym for Ski and Board Hire, a sign I saw when I was wondering what alias to use. I had intended to use "Sabh" so that I could claim it stood for South Australian Brewery Holdings but at the time I was under the impression that Sabh was already in use.
I'm a member of WikiProject Elements.
I have an amateur interest in the periodic table, sparked by a talented high school chemistry teacher, Mr Green. When I was younger I thought I'd be a metallurgist or a chemist, or a teacher of same. My life didn't turn out that way. I ended up "teaching" scientists and IT professionals how to manage, motivate and support the people who worked for them (give them a purpose; the autonomy needed to achieve that purpose; and opportunities to achieve mastery). These days, on a part-time basis, I coach people in life and retirement matters.
Many years ago I emailed Eric Scerri, a world authority on the periodic table, and asked him if I could get published even though I had no tertiary science qualifications. To my astonishment he replied, and said there were quite a few amateurs (untrained or undertrained)^ who had made significant contributions to science, and he encouraged me in my endeavours. I didn't know then about the peer review process, and that peer reviewers look at the calibre of your contribution rather than how many letters you have after your name.
Moving forward nearly two decades you can see my publishing record later in this page.
A chemist/theoretical physicist recently told me that, "A PhD does not prevent people writing nonsense."

§ I refer to them as core nonmetals simply because they encompass the heartland of the non-metallic chemistry spectrum, located as they are between the weakly non-metallic metalloids and the strongly non-metallic halogens.

Order and disorder in the periodic table
How the periodic table is ordered and disordered, and why it doesn't matter
Axis of instability
Odd behaviour that appears to occur in going down the group 7 elements: Mn (radical crystalline structure), Tc (radioactive), and Re ("most radioactive" of the naturally occurring elements which have stable isotopes?); and their f-block analogues: Pm (radioactive) and Np (first of the transuranium elements). Just as there are magic numbers of protons and neutrons, I presume there are also antimagic numbers of protons (and neutrons?) that are less stable or inherently unstable. I have no idea if any of this is related to the very complex structure of Mn, which is also adopted by white P, or if it is just a coincidence. The numbers involved are 15 (P) and 25 (Mn); and 43 (Tc); 61 (Pm); 75 (Re) and 93 (Np).
