== The "pre-discovery" of 1970 ==

When I expand this article further (FA, anyone?) I should write about that: element 106 was first observed at Berkeley in 1970 but was not recognised as such (see the chapter on Sg of ''The Transuranium People'').

:If you want to make an FA out of this, I'd be willing to help. That information is definitely something to start with. [[User:ComplexRational|ComplexRational]] ([[User talk:ComplexRational|talk]]) 19:40, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
:{{ping|Double sharp}} I wrote a small bit about this pre-discovery. If we would like to make this an FA, what must be done? [[User:ComplexRational|ComplexRational]] ([[User talk:ComplexRational|talk]]) 00:04, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
::{{ping|ComplexRational}} Probably some more, to be honest. I'm not very happy with how this article currently is (even though I mostly wrote it): too many quotes. I think [[hassium]] and [[nihonium]] are probably the best models. :) [[User:Double sharp|Double sharp]] ([[User talk:Double sharp|talk]]) 02:18, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

== Search for natural Sg ==

:{{re|Double sharp}} Interesting find! It also nicely summarizes other claims about naturally-occurring SHEs. <sup>[[User:ComplexRational|'''<span style="color:#0039a6">Complex</span>''']]</sup>/<sub>[[User talk:ComplexRational|'''<span style="color:#000000">Rational</span>''']]</sub> 12:27, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

== Oxidation states ==

*{{chem|[Sg(H|2|O)|6|]|6+}} converts to ions with less water and less positive ions.
*The only known oxidation states (as of 2023, according to the article) are +6 and 0.
*{{chem|[Sg(OH)|3|(H|2|O)|2|]|+}} has Sg in oxidation state of +4.
Is the single positive charge a mistake, or did the Sg oxidation state of 4 actually appear? [[User:Alfa-ketosav|Alfa-ketosav]] ([[User talk:Alfa-ketosav|talk]]) 08:28, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
:The mistake was that an O was accidentally omitted, which I have now corrected to {{chem|[SgO(OH)|3|(H|2|O)|2|]|+}}. Good catch. <sup>[[User:ComplexRational|'''<span style="color:#0039a6">Complex</span>''']]</sup>/<sub>[[User talk:ComplexRational|'''<span style="color:#000000">Rational</span>''']]</sub> 16:31, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
