[edit] Delisted GA

Tyhis article has been removed from the GA list due to lack of inline citations; as well as various parts of the article with jargon. If you feel that this article was wrongly reviewed feel free to take it to WP:GA/R. Tarret 18:05, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Re-reviewed and still lacks appropriate citations as a WP:GA. There are also quite a few red wikilinks in the article. Some of the sections are really short. The figures and chemical reactions look good, though. Dr. Cash 00:20, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

To explain the lack of citations better, this article lacks citations in the entire 'structure' section and the entire 'preparation' section. The 'preparation' section is also rather weak, with a single sentence and one chemical equation. This could certainly be expanded. The 'chemical properties' section also generally lacks citations, except for the overly-referenced sentence at the end (with SIX CITATIONS?!?!). Seems to me like all of these would be better if they were spread out in the section, perhaps? The 'uses' section is the better referenced here, but could use more citations. There's also two red links here. 'Precautions' has no citations.

Also, with regard to references, since several of these are referencing ACS journals, it might be useful to directly link to the article on pubs.acs.org, since all of these are available online (albeit with a subscription -- most academic users won't have a problem accessing).

This one's really close to WP:GA status, though. A few citations, and it should pass easily. The figures and images look good, the chemical structures are well done. The infobox is complete. Dr. Cash 03:29, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

This article was primarily written before inline citation become the norm. I'm away from home at the moment, but I can add in some when I get back. I wrote nearly all of the content, and there is not a single sentence that I wrote that does not have a source. Walkerma 04:03, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
