A unified picture of the itinerant ferromagnetism of the transition metals is proposed, which considers calculations with model Hamiltonian operators and density functional calculations. The variations among the different metals and the deficiencies of each of the methods are explained. It is also demonstrated why the explanation of this phenomena suggested by Landrum and Dronskowski is at odds with the unified picture and is incorrect.
