What resource gave the name poseidonium? A Google search for poseidonium (http://www.google.com/search?q=poseidonium) turns up only pages that come directly from this Wikipedia article or pages that mention the Poseidonium, a temple to Poseidon. -- Bkell 23:24, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- Hm. An anon added that (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Neptunium&diff=1076499&oldid=1064353) some time ago. I removed it. --mav

If anyone wonders, the information on weapons applications and planned supply relocations came from an Associated Press wire story. Bird 04:06, 2 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Synthetic element?
I assume Plutonium isn't a synthetic element because "While almost all plutonium is manufactured synthetically, extremely tiny trace amounts are found naturally in uranium ores." (ref). So why, when "Trace amounts of neptunium are found naturally as decay products from transmutation reactions in uranium ores" (ref), is this element listed as a synthetic element?
