Information Sources
Some of the text in this entry was rewritten from Los Alamos National Laboratory - Boron (http://periodic.lanl.gov/elements/5.html). Additional text was taken directly from USGS Periodic Table - Boron (http://wwwrcamnl.wr.usgs.gov/isoig/period/b_iig.html), from the Elements database 20001107 (via dict.org (http://www.dict.org)), Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) (via dict.org (http://www.dict.org)) and WordNet (r) 1.7 (via dict.org (http://www.dict.org)). Data for the table was obtained from the sources listed on the main page and WikiProject Elements but was reformatted and converted into SI units.

possible Graffitti?
In the external links, the last one is for 'zeroman' - seems to have no relation to Boron whatsoever. Is this a Wiki version of tagging?
Amorphous Boron: green or black?
In the first paragraph, it says that amorphous boron is a black powder. Later it states that amorphous boron is used in pyrotechnics du to its distinct green color. Which one is true? (129.132.168.19) --- (flame color, article been updated since then) Femto
Boiling point
I've seen it stated as 4000 °C, 4200 °C, and 3864 °C. Also that boron sublimates at 2550 °C, which is not mentioned in the article. Which is correct? Or does boron have both a normal boiling point and a sublimation point, or what? Femto 14:10, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- You forgot this article, which lists it as 4200 K (which doesn't agree, even with rounding, with any of the values you mentioned). Gene Nygaard 14:23, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
