[edit] Article split

It seems that this article has two distinct topics, which makes it difficult to write a cohesive introduction. I propose that this article be split into Silicate (chemistry) and Silicate (geology) for clarity. Any objections? --Gimme danger 22:07, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Silicates are apparently a superclass of silicate minerals; rather than the proposed split, I would recommend simply using silicate minerals to host any geology-related content that doesn't fit into this article. But I wouldn't remove geological material from this article entirely. -- Beland 16:14, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
