Beverages rich in magnesium are coffee, tea, and cocoa
editWhere does this come from? The link provided there seems unrelated. Coffee and tea contain about 0% of the recommended magnesium daily intake. Cocoa indeed is rich on magnesium as per USDA (link). Since this page seems to be semi-protected, and my English is far from perfect, I'd like to ask someone else to review this and make corrections. Thank you. Ri hwa won (talk) 06:08, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
- Removed. I can't access the source to verify it, but the statement in the article definitely contradicts [1] and [2], and cocoa solids are already mentioned as well in the previous paragraph. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 06:09, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
Time to remove semi-protection?
editIt looks like this article has been semi-protected for well over 5 years. It seems like this was done around a time of numerous edits which were adding questionable content.
It's not clear to me that this would still necessarily be a topic that would attract significant controversial edits or outright vandalism. What is the process for having the semi-protected status reviewed? 220.235.82.123 (talk) 04:00, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
- Contacted the protecting admin. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 06:01, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you. You are a gentleman and a scholar! 220.235.82.123 (talk) 15:28, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
- I think PC would be a better option than full unprotection here. TheRichCapitalist (talk) 05:46, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
- I disagree. This article was semi-protected indefinitely by MaterialScientist on Thanksgiving of 2015 due to vandalism, according to the edit history. Magnesium is also a high profile article, so it must be semi-protected like all the other articles on well known elements. 2603:8080:D03:89D4:F12F:8FF3:F8CF:640E (talk) 21:53, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
Magnesium in steelmaking
editI think a significant amount of magnesium metal is used in steelmaking to lower sulphide levels. Is the tonnage used for this enough to make it to the introduction of the article? 147.161.230.115 (talk) 11:40, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protected edit request on 31 July 2024

Seemingly typos?:
"Reduced occurs at high temperatures with silicon...iron component is innoncuouse."
Should be:
"Reduction occurs at high temperatures with silicon...iron component is innocuous."
Though it seems this whole passage is written a bit awkwardly and could be improved upon. Maybe:
"Reduction occurs at high temperatures with silicon. A ferrosilicon alloy is used rather than pure silicon as it is more economical. The iron component has no bearing on the reaction." 214.28.226.87 (talk) 16:39, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
Done, thanks. Zefr (talk) 19:01, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
