Resolved

On behalf of the subject and as part of my work at Beutler Ink, I have submitted a draft article about Adolf Peretti for review, in case any project members are interested in taking a look. I have disclosed my COI on the draft and its Talk page, and will avoid editing the main space. Thanks! Inkian Jason (talk) 18:40, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Holtite group / Szklaryite group

I stumbled onto what appears to be a copy paste error of some sort

Szklaryite, Titanoholtite and Nioboholtite all appear to have a very similar start to their article. I notice that Holtite and Holtite Group (and indeed Szklaryite group seem to be red link articles.

I started looking as I had found a reference pointing to Holtite on the last line of tis section on the Australian president Harold_Holt#Memorials_and_other_legacies

I'm guessing the Szklaryite page has the error ? Should be an easy fix if you know this mineral group (I'm afraid I don't)

I'm not seeing the error. Each mineral has a different formula given, and they are all described as being one of three new additions to the dumortierite supergroup, with slightly different wording. Szklaryite is an arsenate in its own group, and the other two are silicates in the Holtite group. They're stubs (and need copy editing), but there's no copy and paste error as far as I can tell. I don't quite understand what your concern is with the red links. —I₂Overcome ^talk 18:51, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
