I will review this article. StringTheory¹¹ 04:46, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

I am sorry, but I will have to quick-fail this article due to a SEVERE lack of sources and bad prose. I feel that I have to downgrade this article to a C, which I have done. StringTheory¹¹ 18:01, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   C. No original research:

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   B. Focused:

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

   Requesting semi-protection due to vandalism

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

A few preliminary points to work on:

• There is a citation needed in the lead. This will need to be fixed.

• The references in the "further reading" section are not complete.

• Refs 1, 2, 8, 10-13, and 17 need to be more than bare URLs.

• Many refs need access dates.

• This article has many unreferenced paragraphs. I am of the opinion that every paragraph should have at least one reference before an article is a GA.

• I would rename "sources" to "natural sources", and move all artificial source info into "production". Also, the section needs to be expanded.
• Many subsections in "intrinsic properties" are too short to comfortably be sections. I believe that if a section only has one paragraph, it is not worthy of a section. Either expand these or merge then with other sections.
• "Neutron compounds" should be a subsection of "intrinsic properties".

More to come later. StringTheory¹¹ 04:21, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
