Ice XI

The article seems to contradict itself on whether the ice XI phase is hexagonal or orthorhombic. The phase diagram in the lead doesn't help, as there are two different phases labeled as ice XI. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 19:01, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Ice XI is thought to be a more stable conformation

The section on Earth has a paragraph about conflicting reports that appears to be WP:OR. That is the comparison and thus judgement of various primary references is done by a Wikipedia editor. I think the paragraph should be replaced by content from a review, eg

• Chaplin, M.F. (2024). Structure and Properties of Water in its Various States. In Encyclopedia of Water, P. Maurice (Ed.). https://doi-org.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/10.1002/9781119300762.wsts0002

It is criminal for this article not to make reference to…

…Kurt Vonnegut’s fictional version of Ice IX, an arrangement of water molecules packed so efficiently stable that any other water molecules it ever comes in contact with — like those in every living being on earth, instantly organize themselves into Ice IX also, leading to a chain reaction that freezes the entire world over. There could even be its own section about why the thermodynamics of this would be impossible. I think it was Cat’s Cradle where this made its appearance, but I could be wrong. 76.174.113.253 (talk) 08:44, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Speaking of crimes of omission, your references, required by WP:VERIFY and WP:PSTS, seem to be missing. Johnjbarton (talk) 14:44, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
