 * Comment: suggested blurb is wordy. By avoiding the extra words, there is enough room to give the scientists' full names (see alt1). --ThaddeusB (talk) 21:08, 24 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:34, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article is big enough 12472 up from 1804 readable characters, and so its expanded enough. SDSChem however only changed a word and so should not receive credit, 540f13gsi did all the heavy work. So I have removed the user. The article is full of references and is neutral. I can't find copyright problems. QPQ not preformed but not required. Hook is in article, referenced and confirmed. The alt1 hook is 183 chars, so short enough. Good to go with ALT1.
