Ok, you know the drill...


 * Try and avoid having the three paras of the lead all start with, "Cerium..."

 *  It is a ductile metal with a hardness comparable to that of silver. - why not just say "similar"? "Comparable" is problematic...as I can "compare" different things as well...

 * link allotropic, orbital, subshell

 *  Cerium is not toxic when consumed orally - err, you mean "eaten"..?
 * Good point! ^_^ Double sharp (talk) 01:27, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Be good to get a medical Review Article for the use of cerium nitrate...

 * Are all the external links necessary? Do they add material not accessible directly via the article?
 * Frankly, they aren't. Removed all. Double sharp (talk) 03:58, 25 October 2016 (UTC)


 * File:Cerium phase diagram.jpg should have some more exact sourcing listed.
 * This is pretty interesting. The original uploader seems to not exactly have told the full story, since the diagram comes directly from this paper. It should of course be OK for Commons (not a copyright violation) due to only containing information that is common property. Added the original source.

 * File:Cerium2.jpg has a ?non RS website as origin for source...?
 * It's just a photograph of the metal. Is that a problem? The creator is also on Commons and the photograph is freely licensed. It's not as if there is some data in the image that needs verification, like for the phase diagram. Would it be any different if he had uploaded it himself?

 * At present, the author is listed as "unknown" with source the website and no other information. If the uploader is the author then that should be clarified. Sorry to be picky but I think it does need a bit of tidying. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 05:03, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
 * OK, added the author. Is it better now? Double sharp (talk) 05:05, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Yep. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 09:13, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
