			** I agree to an extent--it's not notable enough for its own page right now. I don't mind that it isn't shown onscreen yet--if fourteen separate characters begin mentioning lithium, it would certainly necessitate a page, even if it's unseen. But right now, I think the good information from Wikipedia could be included [[Elle Bishop#Notes\|here]]. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 08:20, 26 January 2008 (EST)

	The only mention so far is that Elle said she had an IV of lithium in her arm on her ninth birthday. However, that quote is included on four pages ([[Timeline:Pre-eclipse]], [[Memorable quotes]], [[Elle Bishop]], and [[Episode:Four Months Ago...]]), so it might make sense to include a new page about it. There's also a Wikipedia page on [[WP:Lithium pharmacology\|Lithium pharmacology]], explaining what the various lithium-based drugs do, so that might make it more noteworthy.

			== Drugs infobox? ==

			I got to thinking: the drugs articles have a glaring inconsistency between one another, namely Which infobox they use. Two different infoboxes, which hold different things, are used. This creates a a few problems; one cosmetic the other a bit more technical. I ilustrate: <br>
			[[Glycimerine]] and the [[ability negation pills]] are entirely ''fictional'' with ''no'' Wikipedia entry, but they ''have'' an owner. Thusly, with room for an owner in the template, the light orange "[[Template:Infobox item\|Items]]" infobox is used. <br>
			[[Alcohol]], [[heroin]], and [[opium]] ''do exist'' in the real world and ''have'' a Wikipedia article on them, and have ''no'' owner. Thusly, with room for a Wikipedia article in the template, the blue "[[Template:Infobox reference\|References]]" infobox is appropriate because the Wikipedia article can be neatly put in the infobox. There lies the cosmetic problem. <br>
			The technical glitch is a drug named [[curare]]. It is a real drug with Wikipedia article, and it is owned by somebody named [[Mohinder]]. Without changes to one of the templates, or a new template made, we cant show both owner and Wikipedia entry in its infobox. <br>
			I tried to perform the necessary surgery to one of the templates, but, in opening it up, the guts were too foreign for me to mess with. Might a new template be made just for the drugs, or could the necessary surgery be made to one of the templates so that (1) all the essential information on a given drug, fictional or no, can be contained in its infobox and (2) we can have a consistent appearance throughout these articles? --{{User:SacValleyDweller/sig}} 00:56, 17 January 2008 (EST)
