All of the alloy reactions on the metal table without the '''!''' can be made using ores of the necessary metals rather than the actual bars, so listing the ores is not necessary. Also, value increase is a deceptive term. That column is the difference in metal average material value of the base metals and the value of the alloy. Other things (such as fuel, limestone, or ores) are not accounted for. Past events have shown that if we try to broaden the scope of that column, it quickly starts to lose meaning.

Recent Edits to Chalk, Limestone
"Also contains many profitable ores and gems which make it ideal for exploratory mining." (Mrdudeguy)
True. But are you going to add that to every sedimentary stone's page, since the same is true for all? While the wiki is partially based on experience, it's also based on the game code. "Sedimentary" speaks for itself (or does if anyone bothers to find that link.) While the sidebar carries the same info, imo this is not overly redundant, because it spells it out for newbies - but be thorough. What's true for limestone is also true for mudstone and conglomerate and etc., even if they aren't as exciting. (I just did something similar with every "layer" stone, which prev had zero text to explain why they were notable.) --Albedo 03:21, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

multiple links
Usually(?) only the first reference in an article - or at least a sub-section - needs to be linked. (People sometimes do read subsections w/out referring to the prev sections.) No need to undo, but don't feel you have to link every keyword possible. (Can make reading a bit annoying for some.) Meh, otoh, certainly rather have too many linked than too few.
