Name change?[edit]

I would like to rename this and other articles so that all of the articles describing the seven crystal systems are named the same way. For example, I would like to rename this article Monoclinic crystal system. That way it woun't be confued with the general gemetric shape. Any objections? O. Prytz 17:37, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

See my response at Talk:Orthorhombic, ditto for here. Vsmith 00:03, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Angles in the diagram are labeled incorrectly[edit]

The angle descriptions in the text (2 90 degree angles) and in the table are correct; for monoclinic, beta != 90. However the diagram shows alpha != 90.

Make the introduction intelligible to ordinary readers[edit]

It must be possible to write an intro using a more readable language, even if less precise. For instance:

"The monoclinic crystal system is a way of packing atoms or molecules in a regular lattice, such that the unit cell of repetition has edges of unequal length, and where in each corner, one of the edges meet each of the other two at right angles, while the other two edges meet each other at some oblique angle."

External links modified (February 2018)[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Monoclinic crystal system. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20080919110705/http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/Sciences/Physics/SolidStatePhysics/AtomicBonding/CrystalStructure/32Crystal/32Crystal.htm to http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/sciences/physics/SolidStatePhysics/AtomicBonding/CrystalStructure/32Crystal/32Crystal.htm

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Example "Hilgardite" is listed as Triclinic, rather than Monoclinic in the Hilgardite Wikipedia page[edit]

On the table in the "Crystal Classes" section, there are 3 examples of minerals in the monoclinic class, one of which is Hilgardite. I don't know whether this page is incorrect or if the Hilgardite Wikipedia page is incorrect, but the Hilgardite page lists it as Triclinic. Acorneater (talk) 20:52, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
