Hi, I'm going to be taking on this review. Recon rabbit  15:48, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Comments

 * Comments on the talk page regarding the discovery by Georg Fabricus have not been addressed. A better source on this or explanation would be great.
 * Better source added.
 * Dates on photographic films (1727, 1816) aren't confirmed by the sources. Maybe it is from the dead link but a better source will be needed now. I will add citation needed tags to spots that I can't confirm with [4].
 * 1727 confirmed in source 7, 1816 confirmed in source 8.
 * Ullman's Encyclopedia is cited many times on this page. It would benefit the article a lot if locations in the chapter or page numbers were provided, with sfn or rp templates or otherwise.
 * The reason I'm avoiding this is because I had trouble the last time I tried to do this. Would be nice if you could give me a few pointers. Keres🌕Luna edits! 15:36, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The way I would do it is like this: "Silver chloride has been known since ancient times. Ancient Egyptians produced it as a method of refining silver, which was done by roasting silver ores with salt to produce silver chloride, which was subsequently decomposed to silver and chlorine. "
 * Some people prefer sfn though . I haven't been able to find a few of the references in the text that should be referred to when trying to make an example though - do you have access to the text? I couldn't find the equations for silver nitrate to silver chloride specifically. Recon  rabbit  16:24, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, I do have access to the text. However, the equations are implied for a meththesis reaction, and do not need to be referenced. Keres🌕Luna edits! 17:09, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Added all the page numbers. Keres🌕Luna edits! 17:27, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Okay, looks good. Recon  rabbit  17:40, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
 * [12] "More info on Chlorine test" needs a full citation.
 * Considering how much of the article is related to it, an image depicting silver chloride as used in photography would be useful, but not required.
 * If cyanidation is the most common process used, it should be expanded on. Also, "cyanidation is the most commonly used" makes the sentence hard to follow.
 * Rephrased.

Chemistry

 * "unreactive toward water" is it unreactive or insoluble?
 * Changed to insoluble.
 * Indicating the photosensitivity of other silver halides belongs in its own paragraph.
 * Done. Keres🌕Luna edits! 19:21, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Uses

 * I did a quick literature search and the first thing I found was a lot of articles related to antimicrobial applications and nanoparticles of AgCl. It may be prudent to provide more than just a single sentence bullet point on this though it could just be a research trend related to medical uses of silver.
 * Added a new section.

Progress is going very well. Only thing that needs to be done is to give locations in "Silver, Silver Compounds, and Silver Alloys". Recon rabbit  05:45, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
