@Jd52102 and Double sharp:. I just removed File:Picture_of_Francium.jpg. This is not just a picture, it also has the periodic-table-cell like additions. Introducing that would be confusion, given our wiki-wide common presentations of chemical elements & the periodic table.

However, it would be OK if that picture itself were isolated. Is it free? Can we ask WP:Graphics lab to cut it out? That would be great. -DePiep (talk) 20:59, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I notice that the image was uploaded today by Jd52102, and that a free-use declaration is missing. That is a Wikipedia:Non-free content issue that must be solved anyway. I like the Fr image, would be ice if we can use it. -DePiep (talk) 21:04, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That would be a great idea! I don't know why there was a picture of francium before, but, if all goes well, There will be Yours Truly (talk) 21:46, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, when I wrote would be ice if we can use it I meant to say 'cool'. As in: nice ice, neat to eat. ;-) -DePiep (talk) 21:51, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Now it is an ore? I'm not sure. -DePiep (talk) 22:16, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the picture, on the grounds that it does not show Fr as an element, but rather a mineral which does not even contain any meaningful quantity of Fr, just a few atoms. Now I realize this makes it absolutely impossible to have a picture for the article, but I think a somewhat misleading picture (the only implication that this is not actually Fr comes from the small caption) is worse than not having one.

No wonder why there isn't a picture. 2001:D08:D3:F01:79A9:F227:D243:56B0 (talk) 13:05, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Change: melting point from 281.0 K ​(8.0 °C, ​46.4 °F) to 300.15 K (27°C, 80.6 °F) Change: Phase at STP solid at 0 °C, liquid at r.t. to Phase at STP solid (estimated) Donsterdoge (talk) 11:35, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No go until Donsterdoge specifies a heavily reliable source from which we can infer that 27 °C is a better estimate than 8 °C. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 11:54, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have noticed that the francium infobox does not have a lead image of the pure sample like many other element infoboxes. This is obviously because bulk francium has never been prepared.

However, in the francium article it shows an image of light of 200,000 francium atoms and an image of heat from 300,000 francium atoms.

Though this is obviously not the same as a bulk sample, I propose we should use one of these images as an image in the infobox, as it is the closest thing we have to a macroscopic sample of francium. We could also provide a caption with it that explains how it is a light or heat image.

Thoughts?

Since nobody has objected I will add it. OmegaMantis (talk) 22:25, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, it's a non-free image, I won't add it. OmegaMantis (talk) 23:04, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
