 * Symbol question.svg Length and date verified (4847 characters, Updated >5X on 11/02). Stub template removed. Hook is implied in the article but not clearly stated in the article with an immediate in-line citation. Please consider choosing another hook or edit the article. The references look good but could use a few more from the list of references on the Talk page from this editor. Since ref 2 and 3 are both article freely available online, please consider add links to the articles in the citations. First nomination, no QPQ needed.

 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg There have been subsequent edits to the article: I suggest that the reviewer check both the hook issue and the sourcing issue, and also do a close paraphrasing check, since so many sources are available online. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:20, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Would this be any good? - ALT1 ... that Koller's sickle is also Rauber's sickle? --Bcp67 (talk) 11:55, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
 * ChemLibrarian, what else needs to be done to finalize this nomination? -- Jreferee (talk) 13:39, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Subject to any significant points from @ChemLibrarian as per @Refereee's suggestion then I think ALT1 is fine and is well cited. The discussion on the talk page of this article should convince any doubters of the good regard for this article and the +ve suggestions that are offered. I couldn't see any close paraphrasing.
