Some of the text in this entry was rewritten from Los Alamos National Laboratory - Berkelium. Additional text was taken directly from the Elements database 20001107 (via dict.org) and WordNet (r) 1.7 (via dict.org). Data for the table were obtained from the sources listed on the subject page and Wikipedia:WikiProject Elements but were reformatted and converted into SI units.

[edit] Berkeley

Was this element named after Berkeley, California or the University of California, Berkeley?  – Jrdioko (Talk) 23:10, Apr 26, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] redirect from bk

ok, who redirected "bk" to this? i wanted burger king not some wierd nerd thing —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.40.45.19 (talk • contribs) .

No, it should redirect here. Bk is the chemical symbol for berkelium, and that is the most important use of Bk. If some other important use came along it should become a disambiguation page but untill that time, Bk should redirect here. Polonium 23:29, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

How dare you call us weird nerds. I consider myself a weird geek, actually. You'll have to search for "Burger King", or the BK disambiguation page is the best you can get. The primary use of Bk (uncapitalized k) is berkelium. Though if there's a redirect, there should also be a disambiguation, added one to this article. Femto 11:21, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
