Italics?
Currently there is a mixture of italic and non-italic 'f's through this short article. Anyone know which is correct in each circumstance [f-shell, f-block, f-orbital, 4f,...]?137.222.142.27 (talk) 09:41, 3 August 2010 (UTC) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_configuration#Notation suggests non-italic is preferable - I have standardised in this article.137.222.142.27 (talk) 10:08, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
F-orbital
Anyone know how many electrons an F-orbital holds? (As in s holds 2, p holds 6, d holds 10, etc.) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Matthias 01 (talk • contribs).
- See Electron shell#Subshells, or azimuthal quantum number for more detailed derivation. Femto 11:30, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Lutetium and Lawrencium?
In other pages (Lutetium, Lawrencium, d-block, Lanthanide, Actinide) it states Lutetium and Lawrencium can also be considered part of the D block. This should be mentioned on this page. 99.22.52.253 (talk) 04:22, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
Addition of atomic electron configuration and number of electrons per shell
If no one objects, I would like to add to the table two rows, atomic electron configuration and number of electrons per shell. I guess, it is still debated which elements belong to f-block, maybe having that extra info in one place will help people understand why those elements belong to this block.
