Good idea, but: phospho
rus
is misspelled and I'm pretty sure zinc was discovered before zirconium (appears to be an error in your source). Wikipedia puts the first isolation of metallic zinc in modern Europe at about 1746, and zinc compounds and alloys were used since ancient times (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc#History).

Yes, you are correct on both those issues, thanks for pointing them out. They should be fixed now. I'm going to keep the same source for now, but I'll try to find a better one if I get a chance.
