Error in drawing for Oxidation state

edit

Please have a look at your figure in Oxidation state#Balancing redox. The supposed acetic acid product is missing an oxygen, so you have actually drawn acetaldehyde on both sides of the equation. I would fix it myself, but I don't have the software required for this drawing. Dirac66 (talk) 15:24, 4 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

Main, major, historic, or natural oxidation states of an element?

edit

Prof. McArdle: I don't know if you are still active here, but I saw that you did much of the work for oxidation state. I'm working to improve the presentation and structure of the data for the list of oxidation states used in the article's List section and the element pages "oxidation state" entry.

These currently highlight "main" oxidation states in bold, but I am unclear on the criteria. My inclination would be to consider those oxidation states corresponding to naturally occurring oxides of each element as the "main" ones. Please let me know if you have an suggestions or references on this point.
