Properties
Egregiously bad. The density of ice is NOT a constant. This is grade school physical science and yet this article claims the density has a specific value! Sure, at 0 C, 1 atm pressure, 1 Gravity acceleration, pure water with a given isotopic constitution will, at equilibrium, have a specific value. But the simple claim that "ice has a density of X" is a great example of incompetent editing.174.131.48.89 (talk) 19:46, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Water cycle
I am currently working on the article water cycle and came here to see if there is useful content here that I could repeat at the other article. The section on water cycle is not bad, however hardly any references are used. Should this be corrected or is it deemed acceptable since the statements are so broad and well known? Also I am thinking of using the excerpt tool to add an excerpt from water cycle. What do you think about this suggestion? EMsmile (talk) 21:28, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
Modern or Ancient Greek
In the etymology section it is stated that a cognate of 'water' is Greek ύδωρ (ýdor). I think it might be better to be a bit more specific and say 'ύδωρ' is Modern Greek, as it might easily be mistaken by the similar Ancient Greek word ὕδωρ (hýdōr or húdōr, with spiritus fortis and relevant long 'o'). -37.11.122.76 (talk) 12:17, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

We just have a paper published in Science, we would like to make such changes: Water (chemical formula H2O) is an inorganic, transparent, tasteless, odorless, and nearly colorless chemical substance, which is the main constituent of Earth's hydrosphere and the fluids of all known living organisms (in which it acts as a solvent[1]). It is vital for all known forms of life, despite providing neither food, energy, nor organic micronutrients. Humans comprise 40 to 70% water and turnover about 10% of this every day. [1]. Its chemical formula, H2O, indicates that each of its molecules contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms, connected by covalent bonds. The hydrogen atoms are attached to the oxygen atom at an angle of 104.45°.[2] "Water" is also the name of the liquid state of H2O at standard temperature and pressure. 199.48.182.28 (talk) 02:44, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
- I don't know what changes are being proposed here--unless it's just the addition of a published paper, which isn't necessary for this lead. Drmies (talk) 02:47, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Cannolis (talk) 03:48, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
