Note. The nominator has withdrawn from the GA assessment, so I had no choice but to ❌ this nomination. Anyone with significant contributions to this article may restart the review from the place where it ended. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 02:45, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

BTW, I have another GA review to finish, so I might not spend much time on this for now.  141 Pr  {contribs} 14:39, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Take your time, and keep up your work on holmium. I also don't have much time lately, but you will see my remarks when I'm ready. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 19:35, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
 * , my review is ready. I put this GA nomination on hold pending improvements to the article. Because you are busy with other reviews, don't rush here yet, I'd just ask you to go through the review in a reasonable time, when you are done with your other duties. I have proposed some articles and books that may further enhance the article, and it would be a big bonus if you incorporated the material I compiled. Some of these articles may improve other rare earth metal entries, so you may want to use them there as well. Obviously, if you want to make your own research and find a couple of scholarly works I didn't mention, go ahead and do so. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 14:05, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm very busy in real life, is it ok if I pass this reivew to other WP:ELEM editors? I've already requested in the project talk page.  141 Pr  {contribs} 10:10, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'll make the formal steps for that in a couple of hours. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 19:29, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that. I'm too busy in real life. You review was great. (keep this up!) 😅  141 Pr  {contribs} 16:18, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

Journals

 * - brilliant intro
 * - should be available on Wikipedia Library.
 * - should be available on Wikipedia Library
 * - mostly about rare earths rather than Ce specifically, but you can add a sentence or two about efforts to recycle Ce (or lack thereof)
 * - cerium-based materials used in catalysts in cars
 * Royal Society of Chemistry - how they made pure cerium
 * - absorption of rare earths, including cerium, by plants

In medical fields, I tried to select review articles, but still pay particular attention to WP:MEDRS (not that the article currently violates it).

Re this removal, I think any of the three sources could cover it well: . The Jakupec book should cover the part about bones. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 04:37, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Ok, I have readded the part and referenced it.  141 Pr  {contribs} 09:24, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

Books

 * - available via the Wikipedia library, good example of what the Wikipedia article could look like
 * The wikilibrary doesn't seem to have this book. Where do I find it?  141 Pr  {contribs} 16:20, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Try this link. If you still cant access it, I'll send it to you by email. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 20:19, 13 August 2023 (UTC)


 * - more about cerium in medical applications
 * - a whole book dedicated to cerium and cerium oxide, but not available at all on the internet (neither my uni nor Wikimedia give access)
 * - a couple of chapters in the end dedicated to cerium compounds, e.g. CAN. Available through the Wikipedia Library.
 * - this one has a safety profile and handling instructions on pp. 104-106; there is also a moderately useful image of rare earth metals being used in car manufacturing.
 * - they have a very good history introduction, otherwise may br worth reading for your other articles. Available through the Wikipedia Library.
