Chlorine edit

I've listed this article for peer review because I wanted to promote this article to featured status sometime soon.

Thanks, Keresluna (talk) 17:35, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

From a quick read, I think the main point of improvement before FAC should be sourcing. Many of the sources are quite old, and the article relies a lot on a single source. The FA criteria expect you show it is well-researched, which typically requires up-to-date scholarship. Of course, a lot of the basics won't have changed much, so a complete rewrite won't be necessary.

A second major point is the structure of the article. The later uses section described chlorine used as a weapon, but this also has a separate section below. Similarly, it is unclear why "Semmelweis and experiments with antisepsis" is not in 'later use'.

Additional comments:

  • SCl2, SOCI2, ClF3, ICl, ICl3, TiCl3, TiCl4, MoCl5, FeCl3, ZnCl2, and so on.. I don't see the point of enumerating them all, nor what 'and so on' means.
  • Syria is a very small section, you should probably merge Iraq and Syria into '21st century' or something.
  • The Syrian government has allegedly used chlorine -> is more known now? If it has become an established fact, the word allegedly should be dropped
  • Medical sources have to be of very high quality (for the section biological role), see WP:MEDRS
  • The toxicity of chlorine comes (...) unsourced

Hope these work as a first pointer. Excited to see somebody work on an important article as this. FemkeMilene (talk) 16:51, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
