This needs more CPing. We need to mention the planet, god, and element all on the same page. --Edgerunner76...and a hotplate! 11:15, 26 June 2008 (EDT)

Heh. I am always confused by articles like this. Basically because even if I want to add something, I often find out/know that Wikipedia already has a nice and detailed article about it, and there is no point just duplicating an article in two encyclopedias. It already has more Mercury meanings you can shake a stick at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury

Wouldn't it be simpler to just add a link to it, and focus only to any gritty superstitious and/or an examples of non-rationalist falsehood details? (Eg, I am sure that someone must have thought somewhere/when that mercury is the cure for everything. It's so shinny!) Sen 16:47, 12 April 2009 (EDT)

Funny, I just did what Edge suggested a year ago. The article is headed in the right direction, but will always be small, I suspect. ħumanUser talk:Human 23:21, 12 April 2009 (EDT)

I didn't have any symptoms of mercury poisoning, though. I'm already crazy :D The Heidelberg Kid (talk) 17:07, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
